IN the NEWS - Who says WITCHCRAFT doesn't exist?

There shall not be found among you any one,,,, that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,.... Deuteronomy 18:10

"A Mexican “witch” who reportedly had cartel ties was killed after

trying to kidnap a baby from his parents to use him as a sacrifice.

The woman, identified as 33-year-old Maria Guadalupe R.M., allegedly wanted to use the child’s death as a sacrifice to the patron “saint” of cartels, Santa Muerte (“Saint Death”), the Daily Mail reported. 

 Prior to the attempted kidnapping the woman told her nephew, the baby’s father, she believed a deceased family member had been reincarnated as the baby and allegedly broke into the Juarez home to get the baby.

However, the woman’s 23-year-old nephew, whose name is Carlos

Gabriel C.R., reportedly killed the woman with a baseball bat. 

She also had ties to the notorious street gang Los Mexicles, the armed goons for the Sinaloa drug cartel, formerly run by drug kingpin El Chapo Guzman, who is imprisoned in the US, Mexican authorities confirm. Although his father turned himself in, he was later released once officials determined it was a case of self-defense."

IN the NEWS - Christian Ouija board

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him … For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:3, 4, 13, 14

 

"The world is rapidly being swept away by spiritualism. 

Amazon is selling the new Holy Spirit Board for $29.95, which claims that you and your friends can communicate directly with Jesus if you sit together in a dimly lit room, holding hands or forming a circle. It’s the “Christian” version of the Ouija board, in which participants receive spelled out messages and answers to their questions from spirits or other so-called supernatural entities. This is pure divination and is typical of what is done in occult rituals. However, Amazon promises that you will not hear messages from any demon, only from Jesus. Amazon states the following in their promotional material:

• The Holy Spirit Board by Holy Spirit Games – Christian
  
  Religious Talking Board for Séance with Planchette.
• GET THE ANSWERS YOU NEED! – The Holy Spirit Board can answer all of life’s most important questions, straight from the man himself!
• Huge 12×18” game board with beautiful artwork featuring the crucifixion and the angels of heaven.
• Beautiful golden Magic Cross planchette with metallic mirrored finish.
• Perfect for churches, prayer groups or just getting together with friends.
• Unlike other spirit boards, this one will NEVER contact evil ghosts or demons, so you can ask your questions with an assured sense of safety.

Here we see the “Holy Spirit” board game being marketed as a way to receive communications from Jesus. No, this is not a game but a deception from Satan. There is no substitute for reading the Holy Scriptures. We cannot get our messages from God through a board game. "  AdventMessenger

How Spiritualism Invaded the Sciences

Peering behind the veil between the seen and the unseen in this Great Controversy between God and His opponent---one can see lucifer laying the groundwork. From a woman speaking German while hypnotized to the dreams of a mother in Burma to a sickly wife and another's wife with premonitions---then ending in a Burmese LGBT Lifestyle Choice--step by step the building blocks were laid to open the door to SPIRITUALISM in Academic Circles today---known as Parapsychology.....For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Ecclesiastes 9:5

"Once ensconced at UVA, Stevenson began breaking the academic mold by publishing serious articles on parapsychology. His work

won a devoted fan and patron in Chester F. Carlson, the inventor of xerography, the photocopying technique perfected by the Xerox corporation. Carlson was convinced his wife, Dorris, had some psychic abilities, including premonitions and out-of-body experiences, and the inventor and entrepreneur donated to the University of Virginia to support Stevenson’s work, starting with a tape recorder. Carlson’s gifts grew, leading to the creation in 1964 of an endowed chair at the university. Stevenson later recalled what he thought when Carlson died: “The bottom has dropped out of this. I’ll have to go back to ordinary research.” But it turned out Carlson had bequeathed $1 million for Stevenson’s work.

With the endowment, Professor Ian Stevenson founded a new research division that conducted methodical experiments on campus, its work earning coverage in august publications such as the hundred-year-old The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease. Stevenson stood up defiantly to detractors, writing: “Those who forget that science is fundamentally a method and not a collection of facts will righteously challenge new concepts which seem to question old facts.” He boldly proclaimed that the “data of parapsychology portend… a conceptual revolution which will make the Copernican revolution seem trivial in comparison.”

In such uncharted territory, he gave chances to people from a diverse range of backgrounds who wanted to join the team, including those from outside science. One was Champe Ransom, a young lawyer who became fascinated with parapsychology and jumped at the chance to leave the Alaska state legislature, where he served as counsel, to join Stevenson’s radical department in Virginia in 1970.

 In one systematic experiment, individuals were sequestered in rooms to look at emotion-inducing photographs clipped from magazines. In another room, individuals who claimed psychic abilities sat. The psychics, attempting to pick up signals from the other room, would record their observations, and Stevenson’s team would compare data. Results of such experiments were sometimes more promising than expected.

Octavia suffered from a severe case of diabetes, and a period of stability precipitated a downturn. Their only child had been stillborn, a trauma embedded in his memory. Stevenson would never have any children, a fact he always lamented. As he watched the person closest to him decline, he became even more obsessed with discovering whether a human soul could survive beyond the body. Even many hardline skeptics were impressed by the approach he took. “He’s an incredible methodologist, hard to fault,” Dr. Albert Stunkard of the University of Pennsylvania medical school commented to the New York Times. 

 On one of his swings through Southeast Asia in the fall of 1972, he got a message from U Win Maung, a trusted colleague. U Win tipped him off about a case of purported reincarnation he heard about from a town elder in Burma that Stevenson ought to check out for himself. From the time he laid eyes on Ma Tin, now 19, he was intrigued by how she presented herself, stoic and tough, and “overtly masculine.” In the only known published photo of her, she stands between a male and female sibling. She carries and presents herself in a way similar to her brother, which felt natural for her. 

He cataloged Ma Tin’s “memories” from what she claimed was her

former life and compared them with what he could discover from local experts about the Japanese occupation in World War Two. By speaking to family and friends of Ma Tin, he charted her earliest comments about Japan and the soldier from the time she was a child. Stevenson also conducted a Goodenough–Harris Draw-a-Person Test. The diagnostic tool was often used to measure intelligence in children, but Stevenson wanted to see what happened when, in the extended version of the test, she was given freedom to draw herself. She sketched two masculine figures. To a believer, this suggested her feeling of existing as two people, and supported her feelings that she was as much a man now as in her past life. Ma Tin wasn’t the only person in Burma in the 1970s who had professed to be reincarnated from Japanese soldiers. One such individual, only a child, was caught by villagers and burned alive.

 By the end of his visit, Ma Tin could breathe a sigh of relief. The expert may not have been able to prove her claims, but neither had he disproved them. 

Throughout the country, reincarnation wielded an unpredictable power that stretched from common villages to elite palaces. Its power was even felt in the upper echelons of the criminal world. Khun Sa, the drug lord, had not always been Khun Sa. A few years earlier when he was thrown into a high security prison, he was Chan Shee Fu. In prison, Fu, one of the country’s most prolific opium dealers before his arrest, pored over a smuggled copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a massive 14th century Chinese novel interwoven with supernatural elements. Emboldened by that heroic story, he embraced an ambitious new narrative for his life: his opium trafficking was a means to revolution. And inspired by his discoveries about reincarnation while in prison, he announced a spiritual rebirth. He was now Khun Sa. His followers kidnapped two Russian doctors and successfully bartered for his release.

Stevenson, meanwhile, explored the anecdotes he had gathered that Ma Tin had spoken an unusual language as a child. He could refer to a case back in Virginia of a woman who spoke German — a language she didn’t know — when hypnotized, leading to intense speculation about whether she could have carried over the language from another life. But Ma Tin’s early language was another inconclusive lead in Stevenson’s search for undeniable proof. Ma Tin’s relatives did not know if the strange words she spoke in her youth had been Japanese, and the informant herself couldn’t recall them.

For Stevenson, the way to respect this young woman the most was to take her claims seriously. He urged her to give him a name. If Ma

Tin could tell him the name of the Japanese soldier from whom she claimed to be reincarnated, Stevenson could scour the world for records to verify his death and its circumstances. Stevenson often combed through such records, bribing bureaucrats when necessary by handing out sought-after American-made shirts. Ma Tin also could almost make out the plane that mowed down the soldier, but couldn’t tell if the plane was British or American. If Ma Tin managed to visualize its markings, Stevenson would be armed with more data to compare with the historical record.

What turned out to be surprisingly more specific was a series of dreams. These dreams belonged to Ma Tin’s mother, Daw Aye Tin. She experienced them 23 years earlier when she was pregnant with Ma Tin. Once a week, the expectant mother had a recurring dream about a Japanese soldier. The stocky Japanese man was shirtless, with short pants, and reminded her of an army cook that she’d met during Japan’s occupation of the region. In the dreams, the soldier said he would stay with them, but she ran from him. Stevenson previously had traced a belief existing in Eastern cultures that reincarnation was prefigured by “dreams in which a deceased person appears to the dreamer and announces his intention to be reborn as a child of the dreamer’s family.”

Into his old age, Stevenson continued following clues to paranormal experiences around the world in hundreds of cases, many of which centered around claims of rebirth, and applied the most rigorous scientific methods to supernatural questions in history, leading the San Francisco Chronicle to label him “a scholarly reincarnation detective.” When he passed away at age 88, Stevenson left behind a combination lock in one of his filing cabinets in Charlottesville, so that if he was reincarnated only he could open it. The still-locked cabinet, if ever opened, may well contain secrets of Ma Tin’s case and others never before revealed.

 In 1981, U Win Maung, Stevenson’s associate, returned to the village for a follow-up interview and reported back to his ivy-cloistered friend in Virginia. The news: Ma Tin Aung Myo was gone. Whether Stevenson’s investigation hastened the departure, or local developments such as the stranglehold of the “reborn” Khun Sa pushed Ma Tin away, their former informant had relocated. 

 

Reports indicated that Ma Tin — quite likely using the fully masculine name Maung Tin by this point — had short hair, wore men’s shirts, and that he — now gendered in the way she sought — lived with a girlfriend."

Romans 1: African Case Study

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened...And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 

Romans 1:21,23

"Fidelis Igbege Ajah and Dr. Utre Eno Iwara explain it best in their paper Spirit Being In African Indigenous Religion: The Mbembe

Perspective. The paper states that the concept of spirit occupies a vast space in African indigenous religion. It comprises the Supreme Being, the divinities, ancestors and other innumerable lesser spirits.... “Most traditional religions in Africa have developed at the local level and are unique to a particular society. Common elements include a belief in a creator god, who is rarely if ever represented in art, and directly approached by worshipers. Instead, the supreme deity is petitioned through intermediaries, or lesser spirits. These spirits may be related to the natural world and have control over powerful natural phenomena.” ...and so the African turns to the ancestors, and sometimes to nature spirits.

Ajah and Dr. Iwara elaborated on this, defining ancestors as “the spirits of dead parents who had good deaths and burials and had lived to ripe old ages” , adding that “ancestral spirits which are originally of lesser cadre and inhabit the place below the ‘home of the living’”.

There is always a growing interest in what these spirits look like and there have been many descriptions of them, with many being depicted as shapeshifters. 

 

 1) The Nyau was a masked brotherhood of the Chewa speaking people. Nyaus are an initiate conduit of life, death belonging to a secret brotherhood within Chewa societies found in Malawi, Eastern Zambia, Western Mozambique, and areas where Malawians migrated to in Zimbabwe. These young men are often seen at important ceremonies performing ritualistic dance. The Nyau beliefs include communication with those who are dead, or their spirits.

 2) Makeda — who according to lore and legend — was the mysterious and majestic Queen of Sheba and also the beloved of King Solomon of Israel. Stories of Makeda, Bilqīs, or the Queen of Sheba remain amongst the most fertile cycles of legend across East Africa.

 3) Yumboes were a kind of fairy-race in the mythology of the

Yumboe

YumboeWolof-Lebou people on Goree Island (Senegal, West Africa). They were also believed to be no more than 60 centimetres tall, with silver hair and shimmering skin. 

 4) Oshun, who in Yoruba mythology, is the Orisha goddess of love, beauty, luxury, fresh waters, and statesmanship. Fondly referred to as the mother of all sweet things, she is often depicted in honey-yellow or gold, while holding a mirror up to herself in admiration. The legend of Oshun is native to the Yoruba people of South-Western Nigeria. It was also believed that Oshun once lived a mortal life, and that during this period she was elected as the first female Iyalode. An Iyalode is a high-ranking female chieftain in traditional Yoruba states. 

 5) The charming, cunning, and mischievous Anansi who was a

Anasi

trickster spirit of the Akan people and often acted on behalf of Nyame, the sky god. He is depicted as possessing great intelligence and charisma. Amongst many other things, Anansi is attributed with the original stories for both wisdom and jealousy. Anansi is often depicted possessing special abilities such as the power to make rain, shapeshift (usually into a spider), and superhuman strength. In West African and Caribbean folklore Anansi was often celebrated for his cunning wit and penchant for turning the tables on his very powerful enemies. 

 6) Yemaya (Yemoja in Yoruba) — the Yoruba Orisha or Goddess of the living Ocean — is considered the mother of all and is often depicted as a mermaid or moon goddess.Yemaya belongs to an ancient pantheon of gods and goddesses native to the Yoruba people of South-Western Nigeria. As the Yoruba origin myth goes, there was a time when Yemaya was heavily pregnant. When her water finally broke, she gave birth to 14 Yoruba gods and goddesses, as well as all the rivers, and all mankind. 

NyamiNyami

 7) Nyami Nyami is believed to have been the god of the Zambezi Valley and the Zambezi River before the creation of the Kariba Dam. According to legend, Nyami Nyami (sometimes known as The Great Mudzimu) was the chief god of the Tonga people of Southern Zambia (and a small fraction of Northern Zimbabwe). He was believed to be a paramount source of protection and sustenance. Dwelling in the heart of the Kariba Gorge, Nyami Nyami’s wife travelled to answer the petitions of their people one day. Foreign men arrived and began to build a wall — this would later become the Kariba Dam. It is purported that Nyami Nyami took great offense to the strain on his people and was deeply hurt by the subsequent separation from his wife — both a result of the construction of the Kariba Dam. For these reasons, he is traditionally believed to have been responsible for the several deaths and catastrophic floods that brought the Kariba construction to a halt and near end. 

8) Obayifo is a vampire-like mythological creature of West African

Obayifo

origin that first appeared in the folklore of the Ashanti (of present-day Ghana). Obayifo were also known as Asiman by the Dahomey people (of present-day Benin) and were also considered a kind of sorceress. In Ashanti, folklore Obayifo are very common and may inhabit the bodies of ordinary people. They were described as having shifty eyes, being obsessed with food, and when travelling at night they were said to emit a phosphorescent light. 

 9) Dzivaguru is the creation goddess credited with designing and nurturing. She is believed to be the mother goddess of the Shona-speaking people of Korekore in Zimbabwe. Dzivaguru’s story answers fundamental questions about nature such as why we have day and night or rain and drought. Said to have ruled both heaven and earth, Dzivaguru is depicted as wearing goatskins, beautiful flowers, and bearing a cornucopia of magical substances. Her sacred creatures include a pair of mythical golden sunbirds, probably modelled after swallows. She was said to have lived in a beautiful palace by a sacred lake near Dande in the Mashonaland Central Province of Zimbabwe." AMAKA

IN the NEWS - 2020 Election: Witches Voting "Blue"

There shall not be found among you...... a witch,..

Deuteronomy 18:10

 

"President Trump ..... media outlets reported “thousands” of witches were attempting to cast a “binding spell” on him on

Halloween.....witches and warlocks are celebrating the rare confluence of two “powerful” moon events in one month, all in a joint effort to get Joe Bidenelected and President Trumpremoved from office. 

 

Conveniently... US presidential election almost coincides with a

Halloween blue moon. According to a Medium post detailing the upcoming ritual, groups of witches will be able to harness this on the night of October 31 – as well as the night before the election – to perform a “Blue Wave” spell......

 

Taking advantage of the Blue Moon, which will be seen across all time zones in the country for the first time in 76 years....these witches are all communicating via social media and plotting multiple “binding” events with their largest attempt to spiritually attack the President tonight on Oct. 31, right before the election.

They’ve reportedly been using the hashtags #BindTrump and #MagicResistance, while calling for what they have named a “Blue Wave” spell on Oct. 31 and on Nov. 2nd.

 

Michael M Hughes, a self-described magical thinker who created

the 'Blue Wave' spell, encouraged people to take part in the ritual even though they did not practice magic.

 

However, Hughes noted that only magic spells would not help Trump lose the election. He advised everyone to go out and vote on Nov. 3."....LOL, i see he's not trusting wholly in his "magic"....

ROOTS OF: Witchcraft, Spiritualism & Idol Worship

"Modern spiritualism and the forms of ancient witchcraft and idol

worship--all having communion with the dead as their vital principle--are founded upon that first lie by which Satan beguiled Eve in Eden: "Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, . . . ye shall be as gods." Genesis 3:4, 5.

 Alike based upon falsehood and perpetuating the same, they are alike from the father of lies."

E.G.W.

Jannes and Jambres

 “Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth; men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith” (2 Tim. 3:8).

"The only ones besides Pharaoh, of whom we have any account that they resisted Moses, were the magicians whom Pharaoh called to his aid.

 

Hence Jannes and Jambres are the names of the magicians who used their enchantments to confirm Pharaoh in his rebellion against God.

 

It is sufficient to refer to the account in Exodus 7 and 8. 

When Moses performed miracles to prove his divine commission, the magicians and sorcerers did the same, up to a certain point. 

--Their rods became serpents (Ex. 7:10, 12); 

--they turned water into blood (Ex. 7:19-22); 

--they brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt (Ex. 8:5-7); 

----but when the third plague came, —the plague of lice, —they could not do the same with their enchantments, but were forced to say, “This is the finger of God” (Ex. 8:17-19). 

 

By the aid of the devils whom they worshiped, they performed miracles which served to harden Pharaoh’s heart against the truth; but they were not allowed to proceed very far before their folly was made manifest. 

*Notice also, in this connection, that while the magicians could, with their enchantments, bring calamities, they could not cause those calamities to depart. This is in keeping with the character of the master whom the magicians served. Satan is the destroyer; to build up and do good is no part of his work.

The work, which the Egyptian magicians did, is the very work that modern Spiritualism is doing. 

 

 It is true that there is a great deal of fraud connected with it. Many persons, who are unable to conjure up the evil spirits at will, seek the notoriety of genuine mediums by counterfeiting genuine manifestations. Nevertheless there are Spiritualistic manifestations that are not the work of sleight-of-hand performers. Many things have been accomplished which show the presence of a power not human."

Roots of Millennials Occultic Dabbling

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful;
but became vain in their imaginations,
and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 1:21

"NBC published a lengthy essay that celebrated the rise of interest in astrology “in an insecure world.”

“In the midst of this physical, political and emotional turmoil, astrology offers us a sense of purpose,” wrote Tanya Ghahremani. “It provides reasons for why the world is spinning as well as hope that it will be less nauseating tomorrow.”
Ghahremani, discussing the feminist roots of astrology, postulates that the stargazing pseudoscience “empowers women… to take more control over their future; it encourages us to learn more about ourselves and go confidently in the direction that makes the most sense for our well-being.”

In October, just in time for Halloween, the media was hyping a revived interest in witchcraft.

The technology website Wired, for example, in a radical departure from its usual computer-oriented ware, reported on a coven of witches who collectively tried to place Donald J. Trump in a “magical straitjacket.” Amid the prerequisite burning of candles and other voodoo rituals, the members recited an incantation that ended with the collective scream, “You’re fired!” Probably not the best material for a Stephen King novel, but it certainly puts a new twist on the term ‘witch hunt.’

Even the New York Times could not resist hopping on its broomstick for a joyride.
“Real witches are roaming among us, and they’re seemingly everywhere,” gushed the paper of historical record.
It went on to quote Helen Berger, a sociologist at Brandeis University: “We’re in a period of great transition…and for many of these young people, this spirituality is speaking to them.”
Publisher’s Weekly summed up this rekindled interest in ‘spirituality,’ not to be confused in any way with religion, as “the season of the witch.”

There is an unsettling, underlying theme, however, that weaves itself through the above-mentioned articles, and perhaps the reader has already noticed it.
That theme involves the current political battle raging in the United States. For all of the breathless talk about witch covens, magical spells and incantations, this purported rise among Millennials in mysticism and spiritualism seems to be, partially at least, a cheap political statement against Donald Trump because the Liberals do not like the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

This speaks volumes about the mindset of the Millennial

generation, which has been raised on an unhealthy diet of liberal radicalism and political correctness gone stark-raving mad.
Because a president was elected that they didn’t like, they now believe that the summoning of mystical forces will change things.
This is an act of desperation, and attests to the type of education many of these young adults are receiving at some detached, tree-lined college where ‘queer and gender studies,’ for example, oftentimes substitutes for the time-honored classics of Western philosophy and history.
Meanwhile, the study of science only seems to have merit when it confirms their exceedingly warped worldview. For example, that there are some 13 gender types to choose from, or that the planet and all of its life forms are about to succumb to man-made climate change."

On the Streets of Babylon: Mistress of Evil spotted on the Streets generating a fanbase

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,... 
Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seem to be some "fans of  the Mistress of Evil" on the Streets of Babylon...


"We now know a bit more about what happened after the pagan ceremony of the “Pago à la tierra” (“Payment to the Earth”) in the Vatican gardens under Pope Francis’ very eyes.
The next evening, on Saturday, October 5, the group of “indigenous” Amazonians -- wearing feathers, t-shirts and trendy sports shoes -- and their friends went to the church of Santa Maria in Traspontina in the middle of the Via della Conciliazione for a prayer vigil for the Synod on the Amazon.

On Monday, October 7, the European “première” of Maleficent, Mistress of Evil took place in the new gigantic auditorium that is situated at its base, covering the large “Via” with fans wearing the evil Queen’s horned headdress.
At Santa Maria in Traspontina, the multi-colored blanket used in the Vatican garden was deployed at the foot of the altar, which was itself covered by a hand-crafted net; other rainbow nets were visible in the sanctuary. A ritual to the Pachamama – “Mother Earth” – was once more celebrated after the objects that had strewn it in the Vatican gardens.
The objects included at least one of the two wooden figurines of naked pregnant women crouching, seen the day before in the Vatican gardens, either a pagan fertility symbol or a nude “Our Lady of the Amazon”."

On the Streets of Babylon: Pagan Idols - Literally

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,... 
Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seem to be some  "Pagan Idols" on the Streets of Babylon ...

 

"Last week, a fifteen-foot-tall totem meant to represent a pagan god from Eastern Europe was put on display in a historic 200-year-old mainline Protestant church in Binghamton, N.Y. The church hosted the image of the idol as part of the LUMA Projection Arts Festival.

"Sviatovid will materialize on the altar of Binghamton United Presbyterian Church with additional content," the festival website announced.

"A fifteen-foot-tall faceted totem, Sviatovid is inspired by a ninth

century Slavic deity and a medieval sculpture of the same name. With four faces, Sviatovid was not omniscient, but could take in the world from literally all four cardinal directions," the LUMA festival website explained. "In keeping with the deity’s origin story, Sviatovid is on an intercontinental expedition to bring people closer together."

As Aden explained, the totem is based on an archaeological artifact discovered near the Zbruch River in Western Ukraine. ...some scholars have argued that it depicts the pagan god Perun, the god of war, fertility, and abundance — a god historically viewed as being in competition with the Christian God."

On the Streets of Babylon: Hiring Mediums on the Streets?

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,... 
Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seem to be "Mediums" hired on the Streets of Babylon...

 

"The Vision Church of Atlanta, Georgia, a progressive congregation, has added a psychic medium who claims to commune with the dead to their staff.

Lakara Foster

Lakara Foster, who holds a doctorate of ministry from The Interdenominational Theological Center, is now a licensed minister at The Vision Church of Atlanta, Rolling Out reported. She is also the creator and star of the YouTube series “The Gift,” which she argues God told her to do. It follows her life as a medium, minister, and spiritual teacher.
Foster argues that psychic mediumship should be included among the spiritual gifts of the modern Church because James 1:17 teaches that “every good and perfect gift is from above.” 

In an interview with Great Day Louisiana earlier this year, Foster discussed how her gift allows her to communicate with the dead.
“A psychic medium, what I try to explain to people is, psychic is a very umbrella term. I believe to some degree we all have some type of psychic intuition. A medium falls under that umbrella. Being a medium allows me to communicate with our loved ones who are departed. So I tell people all mediums are psychic but all psychics are not medium,” she said."

"Roman Catholic Church has opened up its annual exorcism class in Rome to all major Christian faiths in a bid to stem the rising tide of demonic forces around the world.

“The idea is to help each other, to establish best practices if you will,” Father Pedro Barrajon, 61, one of the organizers of the 14th edition of the “Course on Exorcism and Prayer of Liberation,” taking place at the Pontifical University of Regina Apostolorum. “This is the first time that different denominations have come together to compare their experiences on exorcisms.”
The one week course which is taught in Italian at a cost of approximately $450 is being held May 6- 11.
It is described as the first course in the world that proposes careful academic and interdisciplinary research of exorcisms." CP
