Evil Does Manifest Through TV!

Hello everyone. I pray you had a wonderful week and are enjoying your Sunday. I also pray everyone had a wonderful Easter and spent time with family and your loved ones. So many don't even know why we celebrate Easter. They truly don't know and think it's about candy and decorating eggs. I was shocked at the amount of people who didn't know why it was celebrated even if they don't believe in Jesus Christ. Even non believers know what the holiday represents.

I wrote a blog before it was sometime last year or maybe the year before regarding all the TV shows and movies that are about pure evil that are bombarding our TVs and our local movie theaters. The problem is impressionable minds see this and I don't just mean children or teenagers. I'm talking about adults as well and then they go out and try to mimic what they see on TV or they become obsessed with the subject and start searching it out and then an unhealthy obsession starts to build. I know there is a difference between actually practicing evil and watching it, that surely does not mean that watching satanic or evil toned movies/TV poses no danger. God’s Word indicates that demons or satan have the ability to read our thoughts. Thus, to find out what we are thinking and to detect any spiritual weakness in us, demonic spirits have to watch us very closely for our actions and that does include our choice of entertainment. When a Believers behavior indicates that he or she tend to veer toward movies or books that center on evil, possession , magic spells, acts of demon possession, or similar demonistic subjects, it's truly sending a message to these demonic spirits. In effect, he is alerting them to his weak spot! In response, the demons could intensify their contact with that Christian in order to take advantage of the weakness the believer has revealed. Galatians 6:7.

I found the following comment on the random Yahoo chat question: "From different accounts in the bible, we can see what the demons did to people. They mislead many people as brought out in Rev 12:9. Some of the things they mislead people into thinking is ok are found at Deuteronomy 18: 10-12. If these things are things that the demons use to mislead us, and if God hates these things, then it would mean we need to stay away from things like that. Including movies and TV that glorifies it or promotes it. Also I would advise you to research the origin of Halloween. Its definitely not something that Jehovah, or Jesus came up with, nor something they would celebrate. Since Satan and his demons are to be destroyed, we wouldn't wanna have anything to do with them. That means we wouldn't want to support them in anyway, by reading demonic books, or watching those types of movies or anything that has to deal with the demons. So your mom is right. You wouldn't want them in your house. Here's some other bible accounts u can look at to see what they do to people, Mark 5:1-17, Mark 9: 14-29, Acts 16:16-18."

The next comment, I also found on a random Yahoo chat question:   "Demons can use virtually anything with which to oppress you, including what you watch. It's not a matter of black magic or anything truly mysterious or mystical; it's a simple matter of filling your mind with things that are not glorifying to God. Anything that feeds your worst desires or fears is not of God and can be a tool in Satan's hands.

I no longer watch these kinds of movies because I'm trying to fill my mind with the things of Christ, but I saw both of them some years ago, and I can't think of anything in them that would do you any good. Both are filled with the imagery of fear, and, as the Word of God says, God has not given us the "spirit of fear". So if God has not given us that spirit, then where does it come from? It can only come from the enemy.

Don't give place to him willingly. Fill your mind with what is good, and you won't give Satan ammunition against you.

"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things." - Philippians 4:8

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." -

Some of these comments I found from 2010 some from 2008 so you can clearly see what I'm trying to say is that this has been something that was brought up several times even years ago... Do some believe it has validity? Yes, but many do not. It just depends on who you ask.

The obsession to understand and to know more about the “unknown” can be found throughout the the Bible. King Manasseh of Judah sacrificed his son to the god Molech (2 Kings. 21:6). Also, Pharaoh’s court magicians used their sorcery during the 10 plagues of Egypt (Ex. 7).prophets of Baal attempted to reach their god through bloodletting (1st Kings 18:28). Israel’s King Saul visited a witch at Endor in an attempt to summon the dead. (1 Samuel 28:7).

I found this following comment on a random talk page regarding the Twilight movies:
"There's a huge amount of danger in this movie," Godfrey continues. "There's also just the excitement of a teenager doing things that are verboten. These are things that people connect to. And not just girls; I think that guys will discover it's dangerous, there's action, there's a thriller element to it, and then, ultimately, that it's cool to be a vampire."

TV shows and movies about vampires aren’t a new thing in the entertainment industry. However, the Twilight characters have really just pushed this trend into a big phenomenon in recent years and Believers should take notice. Its popularity TRULY calls for the need  to pay attention to what their kids are reading and watching. Is a book burning session the answer? No. It will Just make you look stupid and you will come off as one of those crazy people that give Christians a bad name.. Instead, take this opportunity to share the truth. Explain this is not real world and is for entertainment purposes and can inadvertently open demonic doors. Just be open and honest about this. It isn't going away and will most likely just become much more prevalent in the years to come. I'm seeing a dangerous pattern.

Christians and Communicating With The Dead - Part 2

By Lisa Grace

Continued from Christians and Communicating With the Dead

Last week I received some questions regarding the fact that the dead sleep and some good Christians mentioned their Biblical references to support their beliefs, even though Jesus Christ who is the ultimate authority said the dead sleep.

These are logical and good points they brought up. Why then would the Bible and its inspired authors mention ghosts in direct opposition to Rabbinical and Christ’s teaching of the time?

Let’s fast forward first to modern times to get an understanding of how the satan uses misdirection to further his goals and dilute our effectiveness in spiritual warfare.

The Beloit College Study

The Beloit college study just came out a few weeks ago. It is administered to incoming college freshman every year and its results give a fascinating look into the new generation of Americans grasp on culture. http://www.beloit.edu/irap/collegedata/cirp/

Some of the findings that I found disturbing as a Bible believer is today’s college freshman do not know where such phrases as “forbidden fruit” and “the handwritings on the wall” come from. They do not know the “forbidden fruit” is a reference to Satan offering it to Eve, on e of the basic tenents of understanding how sin entered the world; nor do they know the writing on the wall was from the disembodied hand writing on the wall the phrase “Mene, Mene, Tekel, u-Pharsin” (Daniel Chapter 5) to King Balshazzar.

Why is it important that college kids no longer understand Biblical references?

In the Garden of Eden

God created the universe and all there in. He also created the concept of time,which is one of the basic natural laws our universe is stuck in.

Heaven exists outside of time in eternity, hence the concept of forever (no time).

This world is a shadow of heaven.

God did not create ghosts (the dead sleep), because God did not bring death into the world. He finished Creation on the sixth day. God did not create ghosts. Satan can create nothing, therefore ghosts do not exist.

Now, supernatural creatures do exist and that is what we are seeing and interpreting as ghosts.

Werewolves, Vampires, and Ghosts

These are all made up creatures and have their roots in Roman and Greek mythology. Early time Bible believers were exposed to these myths and naturally adopted them. Jesus always knew demons were fallen angels. He knew what people called “ghosts” were manifestations of different types of fallen angels or if you choose to call the disembodied ones, demons. There are several different types of Angels mentioned in the Bible and the fallen ones appear differently here on this earth too. Reference:

Different types of Angels and Demons

People through out the centuries have confused the real supernatural world and what is in it because of incorporating popular myths of the time. One of the oldest most popular myths is confusing demons with those who are departed.

Saul and His, Ahem, “Ghost” (really a demon/fallen angel)

1 Samuel 28:7 - Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, [there is] a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.

Remember, the devil and mediums are spreading lies. The devil is the great deceiver. Saul commits many sins in this story, swearing by the Lord, visiting a witch, etc…

He admits the Lord has left him in verse 15. This story was not meant to “prove “ghosts” but to show how far Saul had fallen away from God that he could even believe in “ghosts”. It was to show how you can be deceived. If you read this same story from the perspective you know he is being deceived by a witch and demons pretending to be a “ghost” you can see how far outside the will of God he is. Always turn to GOD not witches or mediums.

It is not Samuel he is talking to, but a demon pretending to be Samuel.

A witch can not call up a prophet, only demons/fallen angels. And then only to the extent they are willing to play along in the deception. When you say a witch can call up the spirit of a person, you are insinuating she has power that only God has. You are elevating them to the level a god.

People believed in ghosts back in those days, just as they do now. It is a false teaching.

John 11:11 Even Jesus said the dead sleep.

The other “proof” people say to combat Jesus’ knowledge that dead sleep is to bring up his words on the cross.

Remember how important punctuation is. “Let’s eat Grandpa” is something a zombie (another made up creature) might say, “Let’s eat, Grandpa” is something a loving granddaughter might say.

Early Hebrew and Greek scriptures had no punctuation. Unfortunately, because of misplaced punctuation added by the King James version, many people take Jesus’ words on the cross out of context. It should be (and was understood to be for over a thousand years after His death to be again backed up by Jesus‘ own words while he was living), “I tell you today, thou wilt be with me in paradise.” Since Jesus knew and said several times the dead sleep, it was always understood this way, until man (King James) messed up an important translation.

In my next article we will discuss the last proof of why and how Jesus’ was taken out of context in the parable, The Rich Man and Lazarus.

Going on the proofs I’ve provided here. (Mainly if it was created by the sixth day, it isn’t here.) See if you can prove to yourself why it is other creatures you are talking to and not the dead.

Ten Reasons Vampires Shouldn’t Sparkle

By Kelly Fisher

These are in no particular order and may contain spoilers. These are only my personal opinions.

1. They are creatures of the night.

They lurk in the shadows. They don’t want to be center of attention. They want to fade into the background, to be overlooked, to catch you off your guard. Even if they have evolved over the years and may be able to withstand sunlight they still wish to maintain a low profile and sparkling in the sunlight would certainly make that tough.

2. They are hardcore.

When’s the last time you saw someone that was bathed in glitter and said to yourself, “Wow I bet that person can kick my a$$?” Yeah, I didn’t think so. Nothing that sparkles is scary. When I think of glitter I think of Kesha or unicorns, neither of which is scary. Ok Kesha is a little.


3. They are seductive.

They want to lure you in. They are sexy and suave. They look in your eyes and you are instantly ready to give them whatever they ask of you. Sparkling would take away from this because it would blind you, awakening from your trance. Let’s face it a sparkling vampire would get no play.


4. They are evil.

When I see something sparkle I certainly think it’s evil, don’t you? No? That is because evil is dark and when something sparkles it needs light to do so, as in a diamond sparkles in the candlelight. Why don’t those vampires sparkle in the candlelight anyway? They only sparkle in the sunlight but not in any artificial light? That makes no sense.


5. They are warriors.

Vampires fight. They fight each other; they fight with werewolves, hell they fight to survive. If someone sparkling came up to you looking for a fight would you not laugh in there face and then proceed to knock them out? I know I would.

6. They are predators

They want to eat you. They crave the blood running through your veins. Most predators sneak up on their prey not bust out bedazzled thinking that will work. It would only scare off its prey. A shiny vampire is a hungry vampire.

7. They are mature.

Most vampires have been around for centuries therefore they are way past going to raves and throwing glitter bombs. They may have the looks of a teenager but after seeing many lifetimes they wouldn’t have the maturity level of a teenager.

8. They are emotional, not emo.

Yeah I know emo essentially means emotionally but a vampire shouldn’t have teenage angst. They could have angst about several other issues but I think it’s safe to assume that most of them hit puberty a long time ago. So while they may wear their emotions on their sleeves (and isn’t that way we find some of them so endearing?) they also know how to control their emotions.

9. They are killers.

They have no feelings of guilt if they drain you dry and leave your empty shell to rot. Something that sparkles does not evoke a sense of danger to me, but real vampires are deadly. They don’t care about you.

10. They are freaking vampires! Come on!

No further explanation needed.
