Bastard's curse - What is it

What is a Bastard's Curse?

A “bastard” in biblical terms refers to a child born out of wedlock, conceived outside the covenant of marriage. The term may sound harsh by modern standards, but in the biblical context, it represents more than just a social label; it carries a generational spiritual consequence that can affect individuals' emotional and spiritual lives for generations.

Scriptural Foundation

Deuteronomy 23:2 (KJV) says:

“A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.”

This sobering verse highlights a serious spiritual reality. Children born outside the sanctity of marriage are cut off from spiritual community and blessings unless the curse is broken. That separation can manifest emotionally, relationally, and spiritually without people knowing the root cause.

Spiritual Consequences of the Bastard Curse

In healing and deliverance ministry, we have found a recurring pattern: people born out of wedlock often carry deep-seated wounds and spiritual oppression. Common manifestations include:

Rejection
Abandonment
Fear and anxiety
Lust and perversion
Shame and guilt
Identity confusion
Feeling like they never fit in or belong

These are not just psychological patterns—they are spiritual strongholds. The curse opens the door for demonic spirits to enter at conception or during gestation. These spirits—of rejection, fear, shame, and more—often gain legal ground through this generational inequity.

Common Symptoms of the Bastard Curse

Feelings of Rejection and Abandonment
- A persistent sense of being unloved, unwanted, or “on the outside looking in.”
- Difficulty receiving love, even from God or trusted people.
Struggle with Identity and Belonging
- Never feeling “good enough” to fit in—at church, in families, or in relationships.
- A strong sense of being disconnected from purpose and destiny.
Inability to Bond with Father Figures or Authority
- Deep mistrust or rebellion toward parental or spiritual authority.
- Difficulty connecting to God as a loving Father.
Generational Patterns of Illegitimacy
- Repeated patterns of out-of-wedlock births, divorce, and broken family structures.
- A family history marked by instability, sexual sin, or abandonment.
Religious Resistance and Spiritual Barrenness
- Feeling spiritually dry, despite effort.
- Lack of breakthrough in prayer, worship, or intimacy with God.
- Feeling “orphaned” in the body of Christ.
Self-Sabotage and Shame Cycles
- Repeating destructive patterns, often driven by a subconscious belief that one is “cursed.”
- Shame and guilt that linger even after repentance.

Children Know

Even young children somehow intuitively know if they were conceived in a covenant or out of lust. Children often ask questions like, “Were you married when I was born?” or look at wedding dates and compare them with their birthdates. When they discover there was no marriage or realize they were unwanted, it brings shame and self-rejection.

These wounds invite the enemy to whisper lies like:

“You were never wanted.”
“You don’t belong.”
“You’ll never be enough.”

Such lies shape identities and behaviors. The person may crave love but seek it in unhealthy, ungodly ways, often repeating the cycle by conceiving children outside of marriage themselves.

The Generational Nature of the Curse

Deuteronomy 23:2 says the curse can last up to ten generations. That’s a long time. Many people are walking in spiritual bondage today because of an ancestor’s sin. The enemy uses these doorways to keep families in cycles of brokenness, shame, and rebellion against God.

Breaking the Curse Through Christ

If this resonates with your life, there is hope in Jesus Christ. The curse is real, but the power of the cross is greater.

Galatians 3:13 says:

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us...”

When Jesus died on the cross, He made it possible for every curse—including the bastard curse—to be broken. Here’s how you can begin to walk in freedom:

Forgive Your Parents – Even if you don’t know the full story, choose to forgive your mother and father for conceiving you outside of marriage. Release them from the debt you feel they owe you.
Renounce the Curse – Speak aloud in the name of Jesus that you break and renounce the bastard curse and all spirits associated with it.
Cast Out Associated Spirits – In Christ’s authority, command the spirits of rejection, abandonment, fear, shame, lust, and others to leave you.
Receive Your Identity as a Child of God – If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, you are a beloved son or daughter of God. You are not illegitimate in His eyes.

Romans 8:15 says:

“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”

Ask for the Father’s Blessing – Whether your earthly father is living or not, ask your Heavenly Father to bless you and fill that parental void. If possible, ask your earthly father or mother for a spoken blessing. Words carry power.
Teach Your Children – If you have children born out of wedlock, ask their forgiveness for opening that door. Break the curse off them in the name of Jesus. Speak blessings over them. Begin teaching them the ways of the Lord to protect them from repeating the cycle.

The Power of Confession and Repentance

There is always hope when there is repentance. If you are the parent, confess your sins before God, repent, and break the curse on your child. If you are the child, forgive and release your parents and step into your full inheritance in Christ.

The Power of Deliverance Ministry of Breaking the Bastard Curse

Deliverance ministry is a biblical, Christ-centered process that helps people identify and break ungodly spiritual attachments, curses, and demonic influences. The bastard curse, while spiritually rooted, can be broken through repentance, renunciation, and spiritual authority in Jesus' name.

1. Breaking Legal Ground

Deliverance exposes and closes the spiritual doors opened through generational sins or past trauma. Through repentance for the sins of the forefathers (Nehemiah 1:6) and breaking agreement with illegitimacy, legal ground is removed from the enemy.

2. Healing Rejection and Identity

Jesus came to restore the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18). In deliverance, the Holy Spirit begins to rebuild your identity as a legitimate child of God—fully accepted, loved, and chosen.

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God...” (John 1:12)

3. Restoration of Intimacy with the Father

Once the curse is broken, many people report a new ability to connect with God, feel His presence, and receive His love as “Abba Father.” The Spirit of adoption replaces the orphan spirit (Romans 8:15).

4. Freedom for Future Generations

Deliverance doesn’t just bring freedom to the individual—it stops the cycle of illegitimacy in the family line. Your obedience and healing today become a blessing for your children and grandchildren.

What are Inner Vows is like Bitterness and Judgment

Below is a prayer to break inner vows

Inner vows are like declaration or promises we make about ourselves. Inner vows will come to pass.

Inner vows represent us choosing our will over God’s and need to be revoked before we can experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

Satan will make sure the words you spoke over yourself will come to pass. Inner vows that they happen.

Have you ever said: "I will never let a man (or woman) ever hurt me again?" Or "I will never put myself in that position again." "I can't trust anybody." "Nobody can do it right but me." "I will never be like my mother (or father).""I will never be like that." "I will never share what I really feel, it is not safe." Many men say this about their mothers, which then transfers to their wives. "Men (women) never do it right." "Don't share," etc. Proverbs teaches us that as we think in our hearts, so we become (Proverbs 23:7a). If we make these "vows," or statements,

Many of these vows were said as children, yet they affect our adult lives. If you have ever made such statements, it is time to go before the Lord and repent and break the power of the curse on your life.

Inner vows must be revoked

Breaking Inner Vows

Ask yourself, “Have I made any inner vows?” What were they? Write down your inner vow list. Ask the Lord to help you.
Examine who was involved in the life that led you to make an inner vow, directly and indirectly:
Sometimes we make inner vows because of hurts like broken promises, betrayals, etc. Make a list of people who hurt you and if you made any vows. Then, take the time to forgive them.
Repent for making the inner vow and not trusting God in the situation. Say this prayer! “Lord, I now recognize that I have made an inner vow that reveals a lack of trust in your willingness to help and protect me and those that I love. I ask that you would forgive me. I want to transfer that need to feel helped and protected onto you, and I humbly ask that you would do just that; help and protect myself and those that I love. I renounce the inner vow that said, “___________________________. Please break the power of this vow over my life and help me to set wise goals that are in agreement with your plans and purposes for me. I also ask that you would heal any wounding in my heart that came as a result of the event that caused me to make this inner vow. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Former Witch Exposes Harry Potter

by Pastor David J. Meyer

Website: https://www.touchofgod.org
Join us for Prayer and Intercession

What Does God Have To Say?
I am writing this urgent message because I was once a witch. I lived by the stars as an astrologer and numerologist casting horoscopes and spells. I lived in the mysterious and shadowy realm of the occult. By means of spells and magic, I was able to invoke the powers of the "controlling unknown" and fly upon the night winds transcending the astral plane. Halloween was my favorite time of the year and I was intrigued and absorbed in the realm of Wiccan witchcraft. All of this was happening in the decade of the 1960s when witchcraft was just starting to come out of the broom closet.

It was during that decade of the 1960s, in the year 1966, that a woman named J. K. Rowling was born. This is the woman who has capti! voted the world in the year 2000 with four books known as the "Harry Potter Series." These books are orientational and instructional manuals of witchcraft woven into the format of entertainment. These four books by J. K. Rowling teach witchcraft! I know this because I was once very much a part of that world.

Witchcraft was very different in the 1960s. There were a lot fewer witches, and the craft was far more secretive. At the end of that spiritually troubled decade, I was miraculously saved by the power of Jesus Christ and His saving blood. I was also delivered from every evil spirit that lived in me and was set free. However, as I began to attend fundamental Christian churches, I realized that even their witchcraft had left its mark. Pagan holidays and sabbats were celebrated as "Christian holidays."

As time went on, I watched the so-called "Christian" churches compromising and unifying. I also watched with amazement as teachings from Eastern religions and "New Age" doctrine began to captivate congregations. It was a satanic set-up, and I saw it coming. Illuministic conspirators were bringing forth a one-world religion with a cleverly concealed element of occultism interwoven in its teachings.

In order to succeed in bringing witchcraft to the world and thus complete satanic control, an entire generation would have to be induced and taught to think like witches, talk like witches, dress like witches, and act like witches. The occult songs of the 1960s launched the Luciferian project of capturing the minds of an entire generation. In the song "Sound Of Silence" by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, we were told of seeds that were left while an entire generation was sleeping, and that the "vision that was planted in my brain Still remains."

Now it is the year 2000. All of the foundations for occultism and witchcraft are in place. The Illuminists have to move quickly because time is running out.

It was the Communist revolutionary Lenin who said, "Give me one generation of youth, and I will transform the entire world." Now an entire generation of youth has been given to a woman named J.K. Rowling and her four books on witchcraft, known as the Harry Potter Series.

As a former witch, I can speak with authority when I say that I have examined the works of Rowling and that the Harry Potter books are training manuals for the occult. Untold millions of young people are being taught to think, speak, dress and act like witches by filling their heads with the contents of these books. Children are obsessed with the Harry Potter books that they have left television and video games to read these witchcraft manuals.

The first book of the series, entitled "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", finds the orphan, Harry Potter, embarking into a new realm when he is taken to "Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." At this occult school, Harry Potter learns how to obtain and use witchcraft equipment. Harry also learns a new vocabulary, including words such as "Azkaban", "Circe", "Draco", "Erised", "Hermes", and "Slytherin"; all of which are names of real devils or demons. These are not characters of fiction!

How serious is this? By reading these materials, many millions of young people are learning how to work with demon spirits. They are getting to know them by! name. Vast numbers of children professing to be Christians are also filling their hearts and minds, while willingly ignorant parents look the other way.

The titles of the books should be warning enough to make us realize how satanic and anti-christ these books are. The aforementioned title of the first book, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", was a real giveaway. The second book was called "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", while the third book was entitled "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban."

Sadly enough, this blatant witchcraft has been endorsed by well-known and respected "Christian" leaders, such as Dr. James Dobson and Chuck Colson, who have proven themselves to be modern-day Judas Iscariots. Nothing could be more obvious than that Harry Potter books are pure witchcraft and of the devil. The "Christian" leaders, however, defend them by saying that good magic always wins and overcomes evil magic.

This is the oldest con game ever hatched out of hell. As a real witch, I learned about the two sides of "the force." Apparently, so do many "Christian" leaders. When real witches have sabbats and esbats and meet as a coven, they greet each other by saying "Blessed be", and when they part, they say "The Force be with you." Both sides of this "Force" are Satan. It is not a good side of it! the force that overcomes the bad side of the force, but rather it's the blood of Jesus Christ that destroys both supposed sides of the satanic "Force."

High-level witches believe that there are seven satanic princes and that the seventh, which is assigned to Christians, has no name. In coven meetings, he is called "the nameless one." In the Harry Potter books, there is a character called "Voldemort." The pronunciation guide says of this being "He who must not be named."

On July 8 at midnight, bookstores everywhere were stormed by millions of children to obtain the latest and fourth book of! the series is known as "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." These books were taken into homes everywhere with a real evil spirit following each copy to curse those homes. July 8th was also the 18th day (three sixes in numerology) from the witches' sabat of midsummer. July 8th was also the 13th day from the signing of the United Religions Charter in San Francisco. Now we have learned that the public school system is planning to use the magic of Harry Potter in the classrooms making the public schools centers of witchcraft training.

What does God have to say about such books as the Harry Potter series? In the Bible in the book of Acts, we read the following in the 19th chapter, verses 18 - 20: "And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds. M! any of them also which used curious arts brought their books together and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the Word of God and prevailed."

As parents, we will answer to God if we allow our children to read witchcraft books. The Word of God will prevail mightily in your life only if such things of Satan are destroyed. This tract has been prayed over, and I hope it has helped you. If we may be of further assistance, please contact us.

H! arry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged - Making Evil Look Innocent
It is surprising that there is any controversy about the Harry Potter series when author J.K. Rowling openly presents blatant Witchcraft, Satanism and pagan mythology.

Unfortunately, because many don't recognize occult symbolism, or understand Witchcraft, thousands of young readers, by inference, are led to accept them as whimsical and harmless, aided by Rowling's repackaging of Witchcraft in probably its most dangerous form - children's fantasy literature.

Does Witchcraft actually have power, and if so what is its source? And, does Rowling's presentation make Witchcraft any more acceptable?
Rowling's "Harry Potter" presents all of the following elements of Witchcraft: Mother Goddess, evolution, reincarnation, communing with the dead and spirit world, seasonal nature celebrations, sorcery, divination, spells, curses, meditation, occult symbology, black magic, demon possession, "dark" aspects of Witchcraft, and more.

Young readers today, more than any other time in history, have an abundance of occult resources easily available to them. The Harry Potter series clearly teaches young children how to become! e witches and warlocks and brings them into the new age occult world of the Luciferian illuminist, and schools them in the devil's occult craft.

The June 2000, issue of the Last Trumpet reported that Dr. James Dobson and his respected mainstream "Focus on the Family" organization has endorsed the witchcraft training manuals known as the Harry Potter books. Dobson's reasoning is that these books teach the good and bad forces, and that good always wins.

If you get the chance tell this to Dr. James Dobson and other "so-called" or "used to be" Christians, who will not BOLDLY stand AGAINST the damnable Harry Potter series:

Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which belief in me, it were better for him that a millstone was hanged about his neck, and that he was drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mat 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Mark 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Every parent and teacher should be outraged about the damnable effects that the Harry Potter series will have to their children, grandchildren, and concerned friends.

What is Reiki - video - move to wix

Reiki Power - Rick Warren Embrasses

The problem with Reiki Power

"Pastor Rick Warren - ... 'The Bible says that God wants us to be as healthy physically as you are spiritually."

Is Rick Warren telling the truth? Does the Bible really say that "God wants us to be as healthy physically as you are spiritually"?

No, it does not! Though Jesus often healed the sick and continues to do so today, our spiritual and eternal life with Him is far more important than our physical and temporary life on earth. The devil also heals but temporarily to take you deeper into occult or new age practices.

I'm a long-time deliverance person and have noticed those sensitive to electricity open themselves up to Reiki practices. Not only electricity sensitivity but also torment.

what is the true source behind its unseen force? Is it similar to the "intelligent" power behind Ouija Boards, Tarot Cards, shamanism, and Theosophy?

When was Reiki Discovered?

Reiki was "discovered" in 1922 by Dr. Mikao Usui "during a mystical experience on Mt. Kurama, a sacred mountain" in Japan. The Buddhist seeker soon began to explore the mystery of "mental harmony" and mind-body connection. Months later "he founded the 'Usui Reiki Healing Society."

Dangers of Reiki - Watch the Video

"Reiki is a form of spiritual healing using "universal life energy" channeled through the practitioner to the recipient.... In the Western world, many practitioners use the standard hand positions.... The energy flows wherever it is required (spiritually guided) and can normally be felt as a warm sensation or tingling in the body... Reiki--

There are 3 levels of Reiki: Reiki 1 and 2 and the Master level.

Is this where American medicine is headed? With influential national leaders such as Pastor Rick Warren, Dr. Oz, and Dr. Hyman leading us into the dark realm of mystical holism, we have reason for concern. As God warned us long ago.

Divine healing only comes from the Lord Jesus Christ. No other source can heal permanently without consequences as the Lord does to those who cry out and deal with the spiritual roots of disease.

What is Reiki

Please note that the following is the belief system of those practicing reiki and not mine.

Reiki is the Japanese name for the universal life force, also known as Ki or Chi, the supposed subtle energy that enlivens all beings. The word is composed of two Japanese characters. Rei can translated as ‘universe.” Ki means life-energy or light in the sense of information. The two characters express the coming together of divine force and the human being, or the unification of body and soul.”

A Japanese Buddhist, Dr. Mikau Usui, discovered Reiki. He had fasted for 21 days on Mount Kurama in 1914. During this period, he experienced a satori, a realization of enlightenment. He describes his discovery: “When I fasted, I touched intense energy, and in a mysterious manner, I was inspired (I received the reiki energy). As a coincidence, it became clear that I had been given the spiritual art of healing.”

For Reiki to work it must be attuned. This is a short ceremony in which the reiki master/teacher acts as a channel to lift up a person’s spiritual frequency, supposedly opening one up to the universal life energy. During this process, something magical happens on the spiritual, non-physical plane. The process is similar to the Tibetan Buddhist empowerment practice.

The Reiki energy enters the body of the master/teacher at the charka at the base of the skull, just above the neck. The divine cosmic energy streams through this charka and connects with our physical existence. A connection between heaven and earth is made through emerald green-colored energy. As a result, the first etheric layer of the initiator and the one who gets initiated becomes one. This first etheric layer is our eggshell; it can be seen as a thin grey line against a white background. Opening our eggshells means you truly open up for the other person, no longer holding back or defending yourself or regarding yourself as a separate being. During this process, the reiki energy rolls in like waves from the skull charka of the master into both auric fields.

The universal life energy first enters the energy system of the healer, who passes it on, usually with the hands, to the healee. In the physical body, this energy travels through the brain and nervous system. Our energetical bodies travel through the charkas, meridians, and the central channel along the spine.

It is unknown what the origins, total quantity, and ways of workings of life energy are. It cannot be defined more clearly than stating that it comes from the Source, god/goodness, spirit, or the Force. It is an essential connection with divinity.

Meditation, yoga, and other spiritual practices best prepare one to do reiki.

To do reiki at its highest level you must go through three levels to reach the highest level of vibration.

The healing method consists of meditation techniques, breathing exercises, spiritual cleansing, the reciting of spiritual poetry, the reiki principles, regular empowerments, which gradually opened up the students for reiki (later on, the attunements were introduced), hands-on healing with several techniques, distance healing, use of breath and the eyes in healing, and the use of mantras and symbols in activating reiki.

Most of the time, reiki will be experienced as warmth, as if a blanket of loving attention surrounds you. But other sensations like coldness, tinkling, prickling, throbbing, shivering, emotional release, or memories popping up may happen.

Reiki has changed over the years as masters have channeled information from archangels, ascended masters, or other high spiritual beings. These masters also claim to be attuned to stars and planets.

Additional Information
The web has an enormous amount of information about reiki. Especially interesting is to do a search of the web using Reiki + Christian. Many of the sites claim that reiki and Christianity can work together. I believe this is very dangerous. Light and darkness cannot dwell together. Here is what one ex-reiki master says:”

"Reiki is very misstated and misunderstood by those outside the circle. Having been in it, I can tell you everything you need to know. I will tell you right up front that it was a hard one to shake, that it was genuine and beneficial, but it is decidedly non-Christian.

"I highly recommend anyone looking into it to just stop. Prayer is mighty and is our direct link to God through Christ. If we petition directly for healing, it may come. Our chances are far better if we have faith that it WILL come. As with anything we are to test, does Reiki point the practitioner or the client to Christ? No. Big no. It uses a Universal energy that is non-personal and can be manipulated. You can pray to God, the Earth Mother, Mother/Father God, etc. But it, in fact, leads you AWAY from Christ.

"It is all about what you FEEL in your hands, what you FEEL in your spirit, what the client FEELS in their body/emotions/spirit. In that regard, it is very, very real. My hands get hot, I hit a place of extreme peace and quiet, and I heal people who feel a tingle or hot spot. Their headache, menstrual cramps, emotional distress, bruises, whatever, goes away. But is God glorified? No way. Is it glorified? Yes. "If it is so good and right, why do practitioners go on to other things once they hit Master level? The teacher who taught me went on to [mystical] acupuncture and other new Reiki teachings. Always something else, something new, something you NEED to be a true master. Sound familiar?

It is like everything else in this world but Christ. There is no lasting peace, no connection with the universe; there is a big void in your soul that is not going away. WE ALL NEED CHRIST! I told my wife when she questioned my stopping in my search for peace once I found Christ (she had followed my years of searching through New Age theologies, etc) that Jesus Christ filled the hole. All the puzzle pieces fell into place, and everything suddenly made sense. For a long time after that, I tried to make Reiki fit into Christianity, but it didn't. I prayed a lot about it. God firmly and solidly showed me in Scripture how it couldn't work. The two significant things against it, regardless of how well it works, are 1) it does not point anyone to Christ and, in facts, points people away from a single triune God, and 2) it is no different than all the pagan rituals in the Old Testament that would have people pray to the rain god or fertility god, etc. They must have worked, or people wouldn't have kept praying to them, and God's people wouldn't have been attracted to them. But either way, it isn't what GOD has asked us to do. Everything we need is in Him. We can pray for any healing we need."

The Origin of Christmas

Learn The Origin Of Christmas

Christmas Origin Pagan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Learn the dark truth about Christmas is a holiday shared and celebrated by many religions. It is a day that has an effect on the entire world.

To many people, it is a favorite time of the year involving gift giving, parties and feasting. Christmas is a holiday that unifies almost all of professing Christendom.

The spirit of Christmas causes people to decorate their homes and churches, cut down trees and bring them into their homes, decking them with silver and gold.

In the light of that tree, families make merry and give gifts one to another.

When the sun goes down on December 24th, and darkness covers the land, families and churches prepare for participation in customs such as burning the yule log, singing around the decorated tree, kissing under the mistletoe and holly, and attending a late night service or midnight mass.

What is the meaning of Christmas? Where did the customs and traditions originate?

You, as a Christian, would want to worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth, discerning good from evil.

The truth is that all of the customs of Christmas pre-date the birth of Jesus Christ, and a study of this would reveal that
Christmas in our day is a collection of traditions and practices taken from many cultures and nations.

The date of December 25th comes from Rome and was a celebration of the Italic god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god.

This was done long before the birth of Jesus.

It was noted by the pre-Christian Romans and other pagans, that daylight began to increase after December 22nd, when they assumed that the sun god died.

These ancients believed that the sun god rose from the dead three days later as the new-born and venerable sun.

Thus, they figured that to be the reason for increasing daylight.

This was a cause for much wild excitement and celebration. Gift giving and merriment filled the temples of ancient Rome, as sacred priests of Saturn, called dendrophori, carried wreaths of evergreen boughs in procession.

In Germany, the evergreen tree was used in worship and celebration of the yule god, also in observance of the resurrected sun god.

The evergreen tree was a symbol of the essence of life and was regarded as a phallic symbol in fertility worship.

Witches and other pagans regarded the red holly as a symbol of the menstrual blood of the queen of heaven, also known as Diana.

The holly wood was used by witches to make wands.

The white berries of mistletoe were believed by pagans to represent droplets of the semen of the sun god.

Both holly and mistletoe were hung in doorways of temples and homes to invoke powers of fertility in those who stood beneath and kissed, causing the spirits of the god and goddess to enter them.

These customs transcended the borders of Rome and Germany to the far reaches of the known world.

The question now arises: How did all of these customs find their way into contemporary Christianity, ranging from Catholicism to Protestantism to fundamentalist churches?

The word "Christmas"itself reveals who married paganism to Christianity.

The word "Christmas" is a combination of the words "Christ" and "Mass.

The word "Mass" means death and was coined originally by the Roman Catholic Church, and belongs exclusively to the church of Rome.

The ritual of the Mass involves the death of Christ, and the distribution of the "Host", a word taken from the Latin word "hostiall" meaning victim!

In short, Christmas is strictly a Roman Catholic word.

A simple study of the tactics of the Romish Church reveals that in every case, the church absorbed the customs, traditions and general paganism of every tribe, culture and nation in their efforts to increase the number of people under their control.

In short, the Romish church told all of these pagan cultures, "Bring your gods, goddesses, rituals and rites, and we will assign Christian sounding titles and names to them.

When Martin Luther started the reformation on October 31st, 1517, and other reformers followed his lead, all of them took with them the paganism that was so firmly imbedded in Rome.

These reformers left Christmas intact.

In England, as the authorized Bible became available to the common people by the decree of King James the II in 1611, people began to discover the pagan roots of Christmas, which are clearly revealed in Scripture.

The Puritans in England, and later in Massachusetts Colony, outlawed this holiday as witchcraft.

Near the end of the nineteenth century, when other Bible versions began to appear, there was a revival of the celebration of Christmas.

We are now seeing ever-increasing celebrating of Christmas or Yule, its true name, as we draw closer to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ!

In both witchcraft circles and contemporary Christian churches, the same things are going on.

As the Bible clearly states in Jeremiah 10:2-4, "Thus saith the Lord, learn not the way of the heathen; and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven. For the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain. For one cutteth a tree out of the forest. The work of the hands of the workman with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers that it move not."

So, what is wrong with Christmas?

1. To say that Jesus was born on December 25th is a lie! The true date is sometime in September according to the Scriptures.

2. Trees, wreaths, holly, mistletoe and the like are strictly forbidden as pagan and heathen! To say that these are Christian or that they can be made Christian is a lie!

3. The Lord never spoke of commemorating his birth but rather commanded us to remember the sacrifice of His suffering and death, which purchased our salvation.

Think about it! Can we worship and honor God by involving ourselves with customs and traditions, which God Himself forbade as idolatry? Can we convince God to somehow "Christianize" these customs and the whole pretense and lie of Christmas, so we can enjoy ourselves? Can we obey through disobedience?

So what is right about Christmas? 1. Nothing!

Halloween and the Forces of Darkness -

Halloween and the Forces of Darkness Why We Should Not Celebrate Halloween as Christians

By Teresa Morin, President of Touch of God Int’l Ministries of Healing and Deliverance

What’s the harm in Halloween? Costumes, candy, and fun traditions seem innocent, especially when children are involved. However, as believers in Jesus Christ, we are called to discern the spiritual roots of what we participate in—and Halloween is rooted in darkness.

John Ramirez, a former Satanist turned Christian evangelist, boldly calls Halloween “the most diabolical demonic holiday.” Why would a man once deep in occult rituals say such a thing? Because he’s seen behind the curtain. While society sees a playful night, the spiritual realm recognizes October 31st as one of Satan’s high holy days.

The Pagan and Occult Origins of Halloween

Halloween originated over 1,300 years ago in the British Isles. Its roots lie in paganism and witchcraft, specifically the Wiccan and Druid traditions. Wiccans—those practicing witchcraft—celebrated eight seasonal festivals (called sabats), and Halloween, or Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”), was the most important. On this night, it was believed that the barrier between the physical and spirit world was the thinnest, allowing spirits to roam freely.

Witches would gather in covens, casting spells, invoking spirits, and engaging in rituals that glorified nature gods and goddesses. Wicca claims to be a “nature religion,” but behind its charms and spells lies deep spiritual deception. Wiccans might not believe in Satan, but Satan certainly believes in manipulating them. The rituals they perform open doors to demonic entities whether they realize it or not.

Jack-o’-Lanterns, Costumes, and “Trick or Treat”

These Halloween staples are not random. Druids—Celtic pagan priests—used to roam villages on October 31st with demonic intentions. Dressed in white robes with sickles in hand, they demanded human offerings, often women or girls. Those who complied received a carved pumpkin with a candle made of human fat, placed at their door for protection. Those who resisted were cursed—sometimes fatally—using occult symbols.

“Trick or treat” wasn’t a harmless rhyme. It was a demand for a sacrifice. The “treat” was someone to give over to evil. The “trick” was a death curse on the household.

Even games like bobbing for apples originated from witchcraft rituals, with apples being sacred in Wiccan belief systems. These are not playful traditions but reenactments of pagan worship, sometimes unknowingly reenacted in churches and Christian homes.

Satan’s Strategy: Deception Through Normalization

Satan is a deceiver and father of lies (John 8:44). His goal is to normalize darkness, disguise sin as entertainment, and numb our discernment. By making Halloween fun and child-friendly, he cloaks his agenda in seemingly innocent practices. Even churches have been lured into celebrating Halloween under the guise of “harvest festivals” or “alternative parties,” forgetting the scriptural command to “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness” (Ephesians 5:11).

Former Satanists testify that Halloween is when rituals are performed, sacrifices are made, and demonic assignments are released—especially targeting children. Participating in Halloween—even passively—gives the enemy a legal right to influence your home, family, and future.

Halloween in the Light of Scripture

God’s Word clearly warns us against participation in occult practices:

Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (NKJV): “There shall not be found among you... one who practices witchcraft... or a medium... For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord.”
Galatians 5:19-21 includes sorcery as one of the “works of the flesh” that exclude people from inheriting the Kingdom of God.
Revelation 21:8 states that “the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers... shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone.”

As Christians, we are called to live holy and set apart, not blend with the world. Halloween is not a harmless holiday—it’s a spiritually charged event with deep demonic roots.

Don’t Open the Door to Darkness

Even if your participation seems lighthearted—like wearing a cute costume or handing out candy—understand that Halloween was designed to honor the dead, invoke spirits, and worship false gods. These are abominations to God.

Many believers unknowingly allow spiritual oppression into their lives through open doors like Halloween. If you’ve celebrated it in the past, repent, renounce any participation in occult practices, and shut the door to the enemy through prayer and deliverance.

Should Chrisans Celebrate Halloween?

Halloween is a day celebrated worldwide when people dress up in costumes, collect candy from neighbors, and have parties, but do you ever think about the origins of Halloween? Most people don't think twice about participating in it, saying, "It's all in fun" or "It's not evil to me", but is this so-called Halloween evening really so innocent?

New Age Medicine and Movements

New Age Medicine and Movements Against the Church

The Problem with New Age Spirituality

In essence, the New Age as a counterfeit system of religion devised by Satan to be an attractive alternative to Bible-based Christianity. Its ultimate goal is to lead the churches into a great apostasy in preparation for the appearance of the Antichrist so that he will be accepted as the Messiah by both Christians and New Agers alike. Their plan was to weaken the doctrine of Christianity by slowly removing from our vocabulary – sin and repentance. They introduce other types of modalities for healing that seem reasonable but are deceptive tools to deceive the church.

Satan is the great deceiver. He comes as an angel of light. Jesus told us Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy in John 10:10

· John 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
So, how is one healed by homeopathy? "The healing power," say the homeopaths, "is coming from cosmic power transferred to the remedy through the ritual of potentiation." The "ritual of potentiation" refers to the diluting and shaking of homeopathic medicines. According to homeopaths, that enhances and increases the medicine's power, which is then transferred to the person. In fact, "some leading homeopaths have confessed that the energy they claim to manipulate in curing people is indistinguishable from that occult energy in general, which has gone by a wide variety of names throughout history."

What is frightening is the fact that one homeopathic Doctor, "Vithoulkas", openly reveals that the real purpose of homeopathy is "to help open the higher centers [of the brain] for spiritual and celestial influx."

Demonic invasion!

Physician H. J. Bopp relates his own clinical experience: "The occult influence in homeopathy is transmitted to the individual, bringing him consciously or unconsciously under demonic influence. [...] It is significant frequently to find nervous depression in families using homeopathic treatments."

Other homeopaths admit an occult connection. Homeopathic authority James Kent states that there are two worlds, the physical and the invisible worlds. He says that the whole of homeopathy is bound up in the invisible world, which is indistinguishable from the spiritual world of the occult realm.

Perhaps Richard Grossinger, author of Planet Medicine: From Stone Age Shamanism to Post-Industrial Healing, does the best of summing up the information I have just presented to you --

Homeopathy is neither the first nor the last attempt to develop a scientific Vitalist [occult] medicine. Alchemists, gnostics, animists, and other naturalist magicians worked for millennia toward a cure based on the life force in the primal energy of nature. Goethe, Steiner, Jung, and Reich followed. [...] It [homeopathy] persists [today] as a clinical occult discipline.

He further states,

Psychic healing, homeopathy, acupuncture, orgone therapy, and various shamanisms and voodoo all suggest that there must be an energy outside of contemporary definition."

Again, homeopathy was developed by a German mystic physician named Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, who lived between 1755-1843. Although there are three different streams of homeopathy since its development, homeopathy has changed very little.

Others use divination to find a cure. Dr. Voegeli, a famous homeopathic doctor, has confirmed that many homeopaths work with the pendulum. Dr. Pfeifer, M.D., also notes the use of pendulums by homeopaths because "it is easier to take a shortcut with the radionic pendulum."For example, former Lutheran pastor Bolte got his "gift" of soothsaying by means of a radionic pendulum. Like many other homeopaths, he chooses the appropriate remedy for a patient using the pendulum. In his booklet From Pendulum Research to Miraculous Healing, he writes:

I would sit at the desk, take the pendulum out, let it circle over Schwabe's list of homeopathic remedies, and then order the remedy at their pharmacy in Leipzig."

The frosting on the occult cake comes from a former new age healer and psychic who says, "It is a fact that many homeopathic practitioners try to make sure their remedies are working by putting a magic spell on them."

[Note that since homeopathic "medicines" are all diluted so far as to contain practically none of the original substance, it would logically follow that it should make no difference at all which one is prescribed. Bolte's claim of success due to prescribing random remedies only supports the fact that they are all the same... ordinary water.]

Now, let's get to where the rubber meets the road. In James 5:13-15 it says

13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

It says to go to our elders if afflicted to pray, anoint and even check to see if they have sin. 80% of diseases come from root issues.

Our society has gotten so far from what the word says that the Lord heals all our diseases. That is for today! Then, if we learned to go back to biblical basics and the church would take their place, then the need for antibiotics and homeopathics wouldn't be needed. Yes, we do need doctors today and they do help.

Did you know the 3rd cause of death is prescriptions? Did you know that does not include street drugs? Did you know that the 7th cause of death is mistakes during surgeries? Most diseases are only maintained through prescriptions not cured.

Did you know the bible looks at Pharmacia as sorcery? How far have we gotten away from the word of God. We depend so much on the medical community and leave God out of it. In Revelation 21:8 “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

According to W.E. Vine’s expository dictionary of New Testament Words (page 1074), the word SORCERY comes from a Greek word, PHARMAKIA - used as a noun, it “signifies a sorcerer,” one who uses drugs, potions, spells, enchantments, as in Rev. 21:8.

We have a promise in the word of God about diseases: In Exodus 15:26 it says, "And said, if thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the Lord that healeth thee.

Psalms 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Is that a promise?

Folks, we need to know that there is an agenda against the church. We are told to discern good and evil. Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who because of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

So, why would anyone want to use homeopathic medicine! It is occult medicine, no matter how you look at it. We need to start looking into products before we buy them. What I use to make sure they are safe are several things that I do:

· Who was the founder of this modality?
· What was his/her spirituality?
· What culture did it come out of?
· What were their beliefs?
· Who is their God or gods?
· Is an example found in the word of God? I don’t believe the examples of God are hidden from us but are explicitly written.

So, I'm not surprised that we have many bacterial-resistant diseases. When we go to the lesser instead of the Greater (God), we are not trusting Him.

We might as well start going to the Lord and our elders for healing. If not, what happens when the mark comes out, and you cannot go to the doctor without the mark? Will you then go to the Lord to heal your diseases?

I know I'm harsh, but I'm trying to make a point because people are perishing from lack of knowledge.
