The
Holy Bible Is The Immutable Living Word Of The Eternal God.
The Only
Bible we Recommend Is The King James / A.V. Bible.
Here's the reason, shocking but enlightening truth: The
Bible Is Used To Deceive
Leviticus
26:17
And I will
set my face against you, and
ye shall be slain before your enemies:
they
that hate you shall reign over you; and
ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
Ezekiel
20:26 ……
that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.
A Message From Peter
James
Familiar
Spirits And Witchcraft
Leviticus 19:30 ¶ Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am
the LORD.
Leviticus 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits,
neither seek after wizards, to
be defiled by them: I am
the LORD your God.
People are seduced into
becoming involved with Satanic Powers, and Principalities,
for three main reasons. They are to obtain Knowledge,
Power and Wealth.
Knowledge and or Wealth are major keys to obtaining
power over others.
Seeking fame might also play a part.
It is worth remembering that when the Eternal God gives
someone knowledge, and
a position, the reason is very clearly spelt out.
Luke 22:24
And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be
accounted the greatest.
25 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship
over them; and they that exercise
authority upon them are called benefactors.
26 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest
among you,
let him be as the younger;
and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
We are given
positions of authority in order to serve better and not to lord it over others.
If you are involved in the
occult ask yourself why I am I doing this?
Am I serving others, or am
I actually an unwittingly not only promoting the kingdom
of darkness, but also dispensing death?
Ask the question, and be
honest and answer it.
Face up to the reality of
your situation.
Once ensnared by Satan, it
is almost impossible to escape from this prison, where you are
compelled to play by the
rules or suffer and even die, unless the Eternal God intervenes.
See: Delivered
from the Powers of Darkness – Absolutely Essential reading.
Many can stand to lose the
wealth, but very few indeed want to give up
the very real power which
they have been given.
The basic concept of
controlling others is the bottom line of Satan’s plan for humanity,
therefore it is easy to understand that his servants
will always want to do the very same thing.
This is an abomination to the Eternal God, who has
given us a free will with the command
to choose Life rather than death. This all started in
the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve were told not
to eat of the tree of death. This is found in the
first book of the bible, Genesis.
Throughout the bible there are countless reports of
people seeking to control others.
In the last
book of the bible, Revelation, we see the Eternal God condemning Control,
and
manipulation of others.
This is what
witchcraft in all its guises is all about.
Note that this
witchcraft is found in the churches !
It is mentioned in the letter to
the church in Ephesus.
Revelation 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans,
which I also hate.
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches;
To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the
tree of life, which is in the midst of the
paradise of God.
It is again mentioned in the letter to
the church in Pergamos.
Revelation 2:15 So hast
thou also them that hold the
doctrine of the Nicolaitans,
which thing I hate.
The word Nicolaitans mean conquerer of the people,
or laiety.
If witchcraft is found in the churches we can be
assured that has permeated
throughout the whole of society, which it has.
It is to be found in the governments, business,
sport and entertainment.
Dabbling with the powers of darkness, which are evil
spirits, that are fallen angels goes under many names,
and it is strictly forbidden in the Word of God.
The fact is that the spirit world is real, whether we
believe it or not, does not matter.
The dead cannot speak to us, but evil spirits who
have watched the lives of every human
can, and do masquerade precisely as a deceased
person. They know the most minute details
of our lives as they observe us 24 hours per day.
They can appear in any physical shape
that they wish, and it is a very simple thing for
them to speak and look exactly as the deceased person.
Necromancy, speaking to the dead is condemned in the
bible.
The reason is simply that it is impossible to do
this,. and one opens oneself up to the
deception of Evil Spirits who quickly take up the
opportunity to ensnare someone,
in the hope that they will be damned just like they
are. What appears at first incredible
will ultimately lead to the outright possession of
the person.
Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or
his daughter
to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11
Or a charmer, or a
consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12
For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and
because of these abominations
the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before
thee.
13
Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
Every one of the above highlighted items is directly
dealing with the Satan’s kingdom
of darkness, therefore they are forbidden.
For further clarification of the spirit world,
See our documents:
“The
Spirit in Man” and “The
Spirit in Man Part 2”
Regardless of the names, and the technicalities which
some might raise,
dancing with the devil, is dancing with the devil.
To touch Satan’s kingdom in any way whatsoever is to
get contaminated,
and will require repentance and prayer for
deliverance from this evil.
It is like going into a smoke filled room, the smoke
permeates your clothes, your hair,
your skin and even your internal organs, to the
extent that even if you have a shower your skin can still give
off the smell of smoke, as the blood stream tries to
deal with the contaminated air which
you have inhaled.
It pushes the smoke laden cells near to the skin so
that in addition to the lungs they also work
to get rid of the smoke.
It is impossible to serve Satan and God at the same
time.
Every single thing that Satan gives us is designed to
ultimately kill us.
We have stated this repeatedly on the website.
Satan can only give what he has to give, and that is
death.
It is as simple as that.
The problem is that witchcraft is not packaged like
death.
In the Pre-Adamic age, Lucifer packed his
preposterous plan so exquisitely that one third of the angels
followed him in rebellion against the most High God.
In the garden of Eden he deceived Eve, by the
packaging of his plan to make them Gods.
See our Videos “Satan
Is Real”, and “Satan’s
Servants”.
Satan’s co-workers are immaculately turned out.
Most times they want for nothing.
Consider the Mormon young men that go around peddling
their gospel,
Consider the ministers of the various branches of the
Catholic Church,
the Anglican Church, the Orthodox Churches etc., and
their fancy clothes,
Consider the Evangelical ministers in their designer
suits, the Freemasons, etc. etc.
To our eyes ,all these peddlers of death might look
very good,
but so did the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, which was Satan and death.
It appeared to be good for food and desirable.
Genesis 3:6 ¶ And when the woman saw that the
tree was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit
thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband
with her; and he did eat.
Of course these merchants of death can also turn up
as down and outs, street traders etc.
Where I live, in the open market in the town center,
I have seen a stall which only sells
witchcraft material, however, sometimes this is so
subtle you will not even realize
the real intent of what is being sold.
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is
transformed into an angel of light.
2 Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his
ministers also be transformed as
the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be
according to their works.
Definition of Familiar Spirit
Sorcerers or necormancers, who professed to call up the
dead to answer questions,
were said to have a "familiar spirit"
#De 18:11 #2Ki 21:6
2Ch 33:6 Le 19:31 20:6 Isa 8:19 29:4
Such a person was called by the Hebrews an _’ ob_, which
properly means a leathern bottle;
for sorcerers were regarded as vessels containing the
inspiring demon.
This Hebrew word was equivalent to the pytho of the Greeks,
and was used to denote both the person
and the spirit which possessed him
#Le 20:27 1Sa 28:8 comp. #Ac 16:16 The word "familiar" is from the Latin
familiaris,
meaning a "household servant," and was intended
to express the idea that sorcerers had spirits
as their servants ready to obey their commands.
The bible
tells us to utterly avoid all contact with Satan, however it is disguised.
We are told
this for our own good, it is not an intellectual command, none of the
commandments
are, though we are misled to believe that this is the case.
Because we do not realise that these commands are
for our good we needlessly suffer.
For this reason we are told:
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge: because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt
be no priest to me: seeing thou hast
forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy
children.
Satan has managed to deceive us into believing that
we can pick and choose with what
the Eternal God told us for our good. He tells us
that we do not have to worry,
so we suffer and die.
Satan offers wealth, power and fame for those who
seek it, but at the price
of your soul, and by this I mean he wants your body,
and your spirit.
Therefore Satan told Christ that he would give him
all the kingdoms of the world.
Liar that he is, he would never have done it anyway,
but we can see clearly now that
if you are prepared to pay the price, nothing is
beyond your grasp,
but there is always a cost.
Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
mountain, and sheweth
him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of
them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if
thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is
written, Thou shalt worship
the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Most want power and wealth, but the fact is that
very few enjoy the wealth.
There is a reason for this.
There are two separate gifts.
The first is the receipt of the wealth and
The second is enjoying the wealth.
Ecclesiastes 5:19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches
and wealth, and hath
given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion,
and to rejoice in his labour;
this is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 6:2 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth,
and honour, so that he
wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he
desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat
thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is
vanity, and it is an evil disease.
Most get the first blessing of wealth, but the
Eternal withholds the second, the enjoyment
of that wealth from most. The reason this is with
held is because of rebellion.
In effect the blessing becomes a curse.
Malachi 2:2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart,
to give glory unto my name,
saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse
upon you, and I will curse your blessings:
yea, I have cursed them
already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
Fortunately scripture also says that the Eternal God
can turn curses
that have been sent against us into blessings.
Deuteronomy 23:5 Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not
hearken unto Balaam;
but the LORD thy God turned the curse
into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God
loved thee.
If wealth is being with held from you, probably you
should regard it as a blessing
from the Eternal God. Most people who get massive
wealth suddenly find their
lives utterly destroyed.
Proverbs 13:11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be
diminished: but he that gathereth by
labour shall increase.
Proverbs 23:5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is
not? for riches certainly make
themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward
heaven.
Several commandments in the Old and New
Testaments warn us not to get involved
in Satanic practices. We are also told
that those who will not forsake their ways are
guaranteed destruction.
Leviticus 20:6 And the soul that turneth after such as have
familiar spirits, and after
wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set
my face against that soul, and will cut
him off from among his people.
Deuteronomy 18:
10 There shall not be
found among you any one that maketh his son or his
daughter to pass through the fire, or that
useth divination, or an observer of times, or an
enchanter, or a witch,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard,
or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the
LORD: and because of these
abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out
from before thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers
of times, and
unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God
hath not suffered thee so to do.
Isaiah 8:19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have
familiar spirits,
and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should
not a people seek unto their God? for
the living to the dead?
Jeremiah 27:9 Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets,
nor to your diviners,
nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to
your sorcerers, which speak unto you,
saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
Malachi 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift
witness against
the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and
against false swearers, and against those
that oppress the hireling in his wages, the
widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside
the stranger from his right, and fear not me,
saith the LORD of hosts.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and
all liars, shall have their part in the
lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is
the second death.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers,
and whoremongers, and murderers,
and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a
lie.
There is another reason beyond our immediate self
which should concern us, when we are
told to obey the Eternal God.
Our obedience affects the welfare of our families.
Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day
against you, that I have set
before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both
thou and
thy seed may
live:
As we constantly show there are only two ways of
living one leads to life and the other
leads to death.
It is absolutely clear and a cast iron promise that
our choice will affect our children,
and their children, in fact down to the fourth
generation.
Numbers 14:18 The LORD is longsuffering, and of
great mercy, forgiving iniquity and
transgression, and by no means
clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon
the children unto the third and fourth generation.
It is a total lie that we can do what we like as
long as it does not hurt any one else.
It is simply not true.
I mentioned a few groups above, there are many
others, some of which are secret,
but if you join them, you will be passing on an
inheritance of death to your children
and their descendants.
It is time for us to consider the big picture and to
ask ourselves what am I doing to myself
and my family?
The answer is clearly given in the closing verse,
which commands us to seek God,
and not Satan’s servants.
Isaiah 8:19 And when they shall say unto you,
Seek unto them that have familiar spirits,
and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should
not a people seek unto their God? for
the living to the dead?
The only way out of our dilemmas is Jesus Christ.
He is the only way of escape.
Praise the Lord.
Come soon Lord
Jesus.
Amen.
