Demonic Doorways
Satan is a very devious person. He doesn’t come after people in just one direction. His purpose is to divide and conquer. If Satanism doesn’t work how about Islam, etc.
The following list of paths are just some of the things he uses. The bottom line is that we have God’s Word, and in His word He tells us about the things that separates man from a relationship with Him. The Church is given the gift of discernment for a reason.
*Eastern Religions *Yoga *Kundalini Spirits [Hindu Demons] *Divination *Use of Drugs which includes LSD, Heroine, Cocaine, any substance that changes your reality. *The normalization of Homosexuality *Freemasonry *Illuminati affiliations *Many Video games * Islam *New Age Religions * Worship of Extraterrestrials *Olumba Olumba Obu *Feel good Witchcraft IE: Harry Potter *Back masking is a deliberate process, whereas a message found through phonetic reversal *Worship of self, thinking your smarter than God *The Forgotten Ways *Rosicrucianism and or Freemasonry *Necromancy *Grave Sucking *Halloween *Psychics *Astrology *Horoscopes, Zodiac Signs, Numerology *Re-birthing *Tarot Cards *Mormonism *Jehovah Witnesses *Church of Scientology *Prosperity Gospel *Kabala.. Jewish mysticism *Ouija Board *Fire Walking *Palmistry *Goth *Wicca *Following a person who proclaims them self a prophet. *Evolution Worship {earth, etc} *More adoration for a person, than God. *Hindus and Buddhist make a Pilgrimage every year to Muktinath, they come from different places in India in the thousands to visit and pay homage to Lord Vishnu. Much the same as Muslims making the Haj to Mecca.
It might seem strange to see Harry Potter on the list. I don’t know anything about the author, but this is not about her. The real issue is that witchcraft is against God’s word. Books and movies like that try to show us there is nothing to worry about. Satan is very good at opening very innocent looking doors, but can lead to dangerous places. In reality witchcraft is evil and will lead to damnation if you participate in it.
Something else that happens is people ignoring God’s word and telling others that they will be blessed or cursed by performing a certain deed. etc: If you don’t do this God will curse you. Usually to elevate their worth and not honor God. Sadly there are some false teachers who work through “ministries” to show us how to cast out demons, etc. The answer to that is very simple. ‘Prayer’ in Jesus’ Name [only].
The normalization of deviance is deadly.
The normalization of deviance is defined as: “The gradual process through which unacceptable practice or standards become acceptable. As the deviant behavior is repeated without catastrophic results, it becomes the social norm for certain aspects of society. It is gradually forced or just accepted by Society, until it gives the impression of being normal. Another thing that happens a lot is horrible things will happen. Like the Covid pandemic. And watching governments controlling every aspect of people’s lives. Which can cause people to forget about God. When in reality that is when we need Him most.
These examples are just a small part of Satan’s tricks, only part of what man is up against.
One thing I have been noticing a lot more lately is “Christians” using the very sad excuse of “Judge not”. But John 7:24 tells us. “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
“Biblical prophecy, in light of Scriptures ignored by many teachers of Eschatology today. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and numerous Old Testament prophets wrote that the Messiah would defeat a wicked king in the latter days from the lands once known as Assyria or Babylon-modern day Iraq” [an Assyrian]. Russell Redden
Please keep in mind that while Satan is very powerful, nobody is more powerful than God. Keeping yourself in the protection of the Lord is the only real safety. Reading Scripture and Prayer are our strongest weapons. The world is rapidly becoming ungodly showing that the Lord was correct when He said it would be like in the days of Noah.
