Bastard's curse - What is it

What is a Bastard's Curse?

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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:

  1. 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.

  2. Renounce the Curse – Speak aloud in the name of Jesus that you break and renounce the bastard curse and all spirits associated with it.

  3. Cast Out Associated Spirits – In Christ’s authority, command the spirits of rejection, abandonment, fear, shame, lust, and others to leave you.

  4. 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.”

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

Inner Vows: How Destructive Promises Block Healing and Invite Spiritual Stronghold

Inner Vows: How Destructive Promises Block Healing and Invite Spiritual Stronghold

Inner Vows: How Destructive Promises Block Healing and Invite Spiritual Stronghold


Break the Power of Inner Vows – A Path to Spiritual and Emotional Healing

What Are Inner Vows?

Inner vows are hidden agreements we make with ourselves—often in moments of pain, fear, or trauma. These self-directed promises sound like:

  • “I’ll never let a man hurt me again.”

  • “I’ll never trust anyone.”

  • “I have to take care of everything because no one else will.”

At their core, inner vows are statements we make to protect ourselves, but they actually limit God’s access to those areas of our hearts. These silent declarations bind us to fear, distrust, bitterness, and self-reliance rather than to the Lord's healing and protection.

Why Are Inner Vows Dangerous?

When you make an inner vow, you are placing your will above God's will. This creates a spiritual legal ground for the enemy. Satan enforces those vows, ensuring the pain you tried to avoid circles back again and again. Why? Because you placed your trust in your own words rather than in God’s promises. Proverbs 23:7 says, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Your inner belief systems shape your reality.


🧠 Common Inner Vows That Sabotage Your Life

Some examples of inner vows include:

  • “No one will ever hurt me again.”

  • “I’ll never be like my father/mother.”

  • “I can’t show emotion.”

  • “Men don’t cry.”

  • “People always take advantage of me.”

  • “I'm not good enough.”

  • “I can’t change.”

  • “I’m worthless.”

  • “It’s my job to fix everything.”

These vows form a stronghold in your mind, keeping you in cycles of rejection, performance, control, fear, isolation, or self-hatred.

And here’s the truth: many of these vows were made when you were a child. You may not even remember making them—but the effects are still active in your adult relationships, decisions, and identity.


🧱 Inner Vows Are a Form of Bitterness and Judgment

Inner vows often stem from bitterness, judgment, and unforgiveness toward someone who hurt us. In many cases, they are the outcome of trauma, abuse, abandonment, or rejection. For example:

  • If your mother was controlling, you may say, “I’ll never be like her.”

  • If your father was absent, you may say, “I’ll never depend on anyone.”

These vows come from a place of deep emotional wounding, and they chain us to pain until they are broken through deliverance.


🙏 Breaking Inner Vows: A Step-by-Step Process to Freedom

1. Ask the Holy Spirit to Reveal Your Inner Vows

Get quiet before the Lord. Ask, “Holy Spirit, have I made any inner vows?” Write down what comes to mind.

2. Identify the People and the Pain

Who hurt you? What experience triggered the vow? Often it's a parent, teacher, relative, or someone you trusted.

3. Forgive Those Involved

You must forgive the one who caused the hurt—whether they deserve it or not. Forgiveness is the key that unlocks freedom.

4. Repent for Making the Inner Vow

Repent for putting your trust in your own words rather than in God. Acknowledge that this vow was a form of self-idolatry and distrust in God.

5. Renounce and Break the Inner Vow with Prayer

Declare with authority that you revoke and renounce that inner vow. Speak out loud:


✝️ Deliverance Prayer to Break Inner Vows

Lord Jesus, I recognize that I have made an inner vow that reveals a lack of trust in Your willingness to help and protect me and those I love. I ask for Your forgiveness. I repent for putting my trust in my own words instead of Your Word. I choose to release this vow. I renounce the inner vow that said, ‘[Insert Vow Here].’ I break its power over my life in Jesus' name. I ask You, Lord, to heal my heart and restore Your truth to this area of my soul. Fill that space with Your love, peace, and purpose. I thank You for setting me free. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”


🛡️ Now Declare Your Freedom

Once you’ve prayed, begin declaring God's truth over yourself:

  • “I am accepted in the Beloved” (Ephesians 1:6)

  • “I am not forsaken; I am never alone” (Hebrews 13:5)

  • “God is my protector and my defender” (Psalm 91)

  • “I can trust the Lord with all my heart” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Speak life over yourself daily. The enemy has no more legal right to torment you in those areas!


🧠 Healing Takes Time, But Freedom Begins Now

Some people experience immediate breakthrough. For others, healing unfolds over time. Stay in God's presence. Worship. Journal. Read the Word. Schedule one-on-one deliverance prayer sessions if needed.



🌟 Ready for Your Next Step?

🔥 Ready to Break Free?

If you've participated in any form of occult practice, even unknowingly, or stuck in sin and cannot break free such as any type of addiction? There is hope. Jesus Christ is ready to forgive, cleanse, and deliver. Repent, renounce the practice, and seek healing.

Former Witch Exposes Harry Potter

Former Witch Exposes Harry Potter

Former Witch Exposes Harry Potter

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

Rick Warren and the Rise of Mystical Holism

Rick Warren and the Rise of Mystical Holism


Why Christians Must Reject Mystical Healing Practices


By Traci Morin – Touch of God Int’l Ministries of Healing and Deliverance
https://www.touchofgod.org

Dangers of Reiki - Watch the Video



Rick Warren and the Rise of Mystical Holism

Pastor Rick Warren once said, “The Bible says that God wants us to be as healthy physically as you are spiritually.” But is this really in the Bible?

No, it’s not. While God certainly cares about our physical health (3 John 1:2), our spiritual life and eternity in Christ take absolute precedence. Jesus healed many, yes—but never apart from truth and repentance. Counterfeit healing through practices like Reiki opens doors to demonic oppression, not divine blessing.

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” — 3 John 1:2
“What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” — Mark 8:36


⚠️ What Is Reiki? A Counterfeit Healing Source

Reiki is an occult-based healing method "discovered" in 1922 by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist, after fasting for 21 days on Mount Kurama. During this mystical experience, he claimed to receive the power of Reiki—a spiritual energy now passed through “attunement” from master to student.

Reiki is based on the manipulation of Ki or Chi—believed to be a universal life energy—channeled through the practitioner to the recipient. But this is not the power of God. It is the same spirit energy found in shamanism, yoga, theosophy, and witchcraft.

“And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” — 2 Corinthians 11:14
“There shall not be found among you... one who practices witchcraft... or a medium, or a spiritist.” — Deuteronomy 18:10-11


🔮 Why Reiki is Spiritually Dangerous

Reiki may “feel” peaceful or warm, but its source is not God. Like Ouija boards and tarot cards, Reiki is a spiritual system that opens portals to demonic entities.

Here’s Why Reiki Is Dangerous:

  • It requires spiritual attunement—a form of initiation that alters your spiritual makeup.

  • It involves chakra systems, auric fields, spirit guides, and mystical symbols—all of which are occult in nature.

  • It invites energy into the body that is impersonal, undefined, and non-trinitariannot the Holy Spirit.

Reiki practitioners often call upon “the Source,” “the Universe,” “Spirit,” “Earth Mother,” or “ascended masters.” This violates the First Commandment.

“You shall have no other gods before Me.” — Exodus 20:3
“Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship can light have with darkness?” — 2 Corinthians 6:14


🛑 Ex-Reiki Master Speaks Out

One ex-Reiki Master warns:

“Reiki is powerful and seductive. But it does not point to Christ—it points away from Him. My hands burned with energy, and people were healed—but God was not glorified. Reiki glorifies the experience, not the cross. Once I was saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, I realized Reiki was a counterfeit. I had to renounce it and repent.”

“Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22


🧠 Rick Warren, Dr. Oz, and the Holistic Trap

Reiki and mystical healing are now promoted by Christian leaders like Rick Warren, as well as New Age doctors like Dr. Oz and Dr. Mark Hyman. Their embrace of mystical health practices is pulling the Church toward the same Babylonian mixture God condemned in Israel.

Just because something “works” doesn’t mean it’s from God. Remember: the magicians in Egypt replicated Moses’ miracles—but their power came from darkness.

“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan, displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders.” — 2 Thessalonians 2:9


🙏 True Healing Comes Only from Jesus Christ

Divine healing is a gift of God alone, not through techniques, vibrations, or spirit guides.

“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities... and by His stripes we are healed.” — Isaiah 53:5

God heals through prayer, faith, repentance, and surrender to Christ—not mystical rituals. No spiritual practice should bypass the cross of Jesus or the truth of God’s Word.


🔄 Repentance and Renunciation

If you’ve ever participated in Reiki or other mystical practices—even unknowingly—you must repent, renounce, and seek deliverance. These practices are not neutral. They bring spiritual defilement and torment.

Prayer of Repentance:

“Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, I repent for opening myself to Reiki and every occult healing practice. I renounce Reiki, attunements, energy healing, yoga, and all spiritual counterfeits. I close every door I opened, knowingly or unknowingly, and command every spirit that entered through these portals to leave now in Jesus’ name. I receive healing, truth, and freedom through the blood of Jesus Christ alone. Amen.”

“If the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed.” — John 8:36


🧭 Conclusion: Jesus Is Enough

Reiki is not compatible with Christianity. It is a false light, a seducing spirit, and a dangerous substitute for God’s healing power. The Church must return to the pure gospel, not a mixture.

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” — Ephesians 5:11

What Does the Bible Say About Christmas? Uncover Pagan Roots

What Does the Bible Say About Christmas? Uncover Pagan Roots

What Does the Bible Say About Christmas? Uncover Pagan Roots


🎄 Learn the Origin of Christmas: The Pagan Celebration Hidden in Plain Sight

Many Christians view Christmas as a joyous holiday filled with warmth, family, and a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Yet most do not realize that nearly every Christmas tradition—trees, wreaths, mistletoe, yule logs, gift-giving, and even the date of December 25th—originates not from the Bible, but from ancient pagan festivals.

So why is this important? Because as believers, we are called to worship God in Spirit and in truth (John 4:24), discerning between what is holy and what is profane.

Let’s uncover the disturbing origins of Christmas and see what the Word of God actually says.


🌞 Pagan Beginnings: The Rebirth of the Sun God

Long before the birth of Christ, December 25th was celebrated in Rome as Dies Natalis Solis Invicti—the birthday of the "Unconquered Sun." Ancient Romans believed the sun god, Saturn, died on December 22 and rose three days later, aligning with the winter solstice when daylight began to increase.

The festivities of Saturnalia included feasting, gift-giving, and wild merrymaking in temples dedicated to Saturn. Sacred priests known as dendrophori paraded with evergreen wreaths, symbolizing life and fertility.


🌲 Evergreen Trees, Holly & Mistletoe: Fertility and Witchcraft Symbols

In Germany and other pagan cultures, the evergreen tree was used to honor gods during winter festivals. The tree symbolized eternal life—but not the kind offered by Jesus. It was deeply rooted in fertility worship, often regarded as a phallic symbol.

Witches used holly as a tool of sorcery. Its red berries symbolized the menstrual blood of the pagan goddess Diana, while its wood was fashioned into magic wands. Mistletoe’s white berries represented the semen of the sun god, and kissing beneath it was a fertility rite invoking demonic spirits.

Even today, these symbols are displayed in Christian homes—yet their spiritual implications are anything but holy.


✝️ How Paganism Entered the Church

The Roman Catholic Church strategically merged pagan festivals with Christianity to grow its influence. The word “Christmas” itself is a fusion of “Christ” and “Mass”—a term for death. The Mass commemorates the sacrificial death of Jesus through the Eucharist, a ritual that calls Him the victim.

Instead of purging paganism, the Church absorbed it, giving the people’s false gods “Christian” names. Pagan customs were rebranded as holy, and over centuries these blended practices entered Catholic, Protestant, and even evangelical churches.

When Martin Luther began the Protestant Reformation in 1517, he denounced Catholic doctrine—but carried many of its customs, including Christmas, into the new movement.


📖 What Does the Bible Say?

The prophet Jeremiah warned us clearly:

“Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen… For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest… They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.”
— Jeremiah 10:2–4

Sound familiar?

God forbids adopting the religious practices of heathen nations. Nowhere in Scripture does Jesus or His disciples command us to commemorate His birth. Instead, Jesus told us to remember His death and resurrection, the true source of salvation (Luke 22:19–20).


🧙‍♀️ Christmas: Celebrated by Witches and Christians Alike

Today, both witchcraft covens and Christian churches celebrate Christmas. Witches observe the Yule Sabbat, which is a high holy day on their calendar. They burn yule logs, decorate with holly and mistletoe, and honor the rebirth of the sun god—while many churches unknowingly do the same, believing they are honoring Christ.

The Bible warns in 2 Corinthians 6:17:

“Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.”


🚫 What’s Wrong with Christmas?

  1. Jesus Wasn’t Born on December 25th.
    Based on biblical clues (like shepherds in the field), Jesus was likely born in September, not winter. December 25th was chosen to align with pagan festivals, not historical truth.

  2. Christmas Traditions Are Pagan.
    Trees, wreaths, yule logs, holly, and mistletoe all have demonic origins rooted in idolatry and fertility cults. God calls these things abominations, not sacred objects.

  3. It Focuses on Fleshly Pleasures, Not Holiness.
    Instead of honoring Christ’s sacrifice, most people use Christmas to focus on food, gifts, entertainment, and materialism—not worship or repentance.


🤔 Can Paganism Be Christianized?

Can we truly worship the Holy God by using elements He detests? Can darkness be baptized in light? The answer is no.

To claim that Christmas is “all about Jesus” is deception when its symbols and origins directly oppose God's Word. As believers, we must reject spiritual compromise and walk in holiness, even if it costs us tradition or popularity.

Jesus warned in Matthew 15:9:

“But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”

Let us not worship in vain by mixing truth with lies.
