Are you Enchanted?

"The Bible talks a lot about enchantments. In Isaiah 47:10–12, it says,
You have trusted in your wickedness;
you have said, ‘No one sees me;’
your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you;
and you have said in your heart,
I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
*Therefore evil shall come upon you;
you shall not know from where it arises.
*And trouble shall fall upon you;
you will not be able to put it off.
*And desolation shall come upon you suddenly,
which you shall not know.
Stand now with your enchantments and the multitude of your sorceries in which you have labored from your youth—perhaps you will be able to profit, perhaps you will prevail.

To “enchant” means “to cast under a spell, bewitch, or attract or delight completely,” so that a person is totally engrossed in or by something.

*To “bewitch” means “to place under one’s power as if by magic, to cast a spell over, to captivate completely or to fascinate.”
*To “charm” means “to attract, delight greatly or irresistibly, to fascinate.”
*To cast a spell on someone is to render them into a state of compelling attraction, fascination, a bewitched state or trance.

In the book Maranatha, 220, is a description of what happens to a person who has been enchanted. It states: “There are those who have the blazing light of truth shining all around them, and yet are insensible to it. They are enchanted by the enemy, held under a spell by his bewitching power. They are not preparing for that great day which is soon to come to our world.

These people may be religious and go to church, but their mind is occupied with something else. By the way, that “something else” may not necessarily be bad.
It may be something which is all right, but takes so much of their attention that they neglect getting ready for the close of probation.

They are enchanted with the affairs of this world and are preoccupied. They often seem utterly insensible to religious truth.
Others are enchanted with useless entertainment."
