"There has been a revival of interest in witchcraft in recent years,
so much so that there are now people who openly avow themselves to be
witches by means of press, television, and radio. This is perfectly legitimate,
since there has been no law against witchcraft since 1951.
Parrinder says,
"A simple definition of a witch might be one which being eluded by a league
made with the devil through his persuasion, inspiration and juggling,
thinketh she can design what manner of things soever, either by thought or
imprecation, as to shake the air with lightnings and thunder, to cause hail and
tempests, etc." 1
Witchcraft is still practiced in Africa. The modern African dislikes and fears
both the witch and the sorcerer. Against both of them he employs diviners,
oracles, and magical medicines. The witch-doctor is a person who seeks to
doctor and cure those who are believed to have been bewitched. He is
honored and works in public, whereas the witch is supposed to work in secret
and is greatly feared.
Those who maintain that European witchcraft was a cult are not sure whether it
was the remains of Druidic religion or of some more ancient fertility cult.
However, witchcraft is seen to be a cult or resurgence of paganism. The
witch-cult, being a survival of an ancient religion, many of the beliefs and rites
of these early religions are to be found in it. Of these the principal are: the voluntary substitute, the
temporary transference of power to the substitute, and the
self-devotion to death. 2
The word coven is a derivative of "convene", and is variously spelt
coven, coeven, covine, cuwing, and even covey. The special meaning of
the word among the witches is a "band" or "company", who were set
apart for the practice of the rites of the religion and for the performance of magical ceremonies; in short, a kind of priesthood. Sacrifices of blood are said to have been demanded of the witch as the price of her admission to the coven. With the blood of the sacrifice, or sometimes with the witch’s own blood, a contract might be written to bind the witch faithfully to the society. The
coven is said to be the nucleus of the witches’ organization. The
main assemblies themselves are often called Sabbaths.
Witches usually possess animals or familiars as they are called. It
was sometimes, but not always, identified with the devil, and was
usually called an "imp." It acted as the devil’s substitute when he
himself was not present, and was endowed with some, though not all,
of his power: for this reason the witch often had more than one
familiar, each to serve a single purpose.3
There seem to have been four methods of obtaining familiars:
(1) by gift from the devil,
(2) by gift from a fellow witch,
(3) by inheritance, and
(4) by magical ceremonies.

Common Witchcraft Practices Today
Many people become aware of witches only once a year on Halloween, a time for youngsters to
dress in grotesque costumes, don masks and ring doorbells; happy little demons, hobgoblins,
and witches who demand, "trick or treat!"
Unknowingly some people perform acts of witchcraft every day. Getting
out of the wrong side of the bed is the left or sinister side. When a
person crosses his fingers, he uses his hand- universally the instrument
of blessing- either to promote good luck or ward off evil. If a person
knocks on wood he is symbolically invoking the assistance or protective
influence of a magic wand, the oldest mystic instrument used by man in
an effort to bend the forces of nature to his will. If a person tosses a
pinch of salt over his left shoulder, he is employing an ancient
counter-charm against quarreling. Saying "God Bless You" just after
someone sneezes has it's roots in witchcraft. During the middle ages it
was believed that one's soul left his or her body temporarily when one sneezed.
Therefore it was necessary to ask God to bless that soul while it was
out of the body before Satan could grab it and claim it for his own.
A person who permits a black cat to cross the path ahead of him will
have bad luck. This is not superstition, as popularly believed.
Students of witchcraft point out that when Satan emerges from Hell to
consort with witches on earth he often assumes the form of a black cat.
Originally, mascara (eye make-up), containing the witchcraft magic
metal, antimony, was dispensed by witches and sorcerers to both men
and women to immunize them against the power of the evil eye. Hiding a
bride’s face behind a veil screened her from evil and
ill-omened glances. Eyebrow plucking began when women whose eyebrows
grew together were suspected in Scandinavian countries of being
witches, vampires in the Balkans, and evil spirits in Greece. 4
The Witches’ Sabbath
Many covens may have a large get-together known as the witches’
Sabbath. This may be any day of the week, but it is usually on
Friday. This is a time when communal sex orgies take place. It is
officiated over by one known as the Grand-master. This is also the
time for the witches to adore the devil while on their knees, address
their prayers to him, give thanks to him as the giver of food and the
necessities of life, and dedicate their children to him.
The nocturnal Sabbaths took place while ordinary folk were asleep.
According to ancient beliefs this would be explained by the dream
activity of the witch herself. The common notion was that the
sleeper’s soul had wandered away to other places, enabling her to see
distant people and even to hold conversations with the dead. In modern
Africa the witch is believed to go out at night, in spirit only, and
to leave her body behind asleep. Yet on waking she will confess to
having made the most extraordinary journeys.5 This is
called Transmigration.
Usually the Black Mass is held every time the witches hold their
Sabbath, which is usually every Friday evening.

White and Black Magicians
In the past, the white witch was the creation of the age of magic
when sickness and death were ascribed to the influence of hostile
spirits which could only be subdued by magic of a more powerful kind.
This was white magic, benevolent, lifegiving, holy, and the magician
who knew its secrets became a figure of immense importance in society,
especially for the service of pointing out who the black witches were.
The white witches had cured sickness when doctors were unknown, and
their skill with animal diseases was sometimes of a high order. They
had been psychiatrists of sorts and they had in some respects
anticipated the method of logical interrogation in their attempts to
track down lost and stolen property, a skill later to be rediscovered
by criminologists.
Throughout all the ages of man the white witch of the ancient world
ruled some part of the life of humanity, but with the advance of human
knowledge his kingdom grew ever smaller and with the final triumph of
science he became extinct in Western society.6
In striking contrast to the white witch is the black witch who uses
her powers only for evil and bewitching purposes. Anton LaVey, the Black Pope of San
Francisco, has this to say concerning the matter:
"There is no difference between ‘white’
and ‘black’ magic, except in the smug hypocrisy, guilt-ridden
righteousness, and self-deceit of the ‘white’ magician himself."7
It is interesting to note in the Old Testament that Balaam could have
been a white witch (warlock). The context of
Jude verse 11, 2 Peter 2:15, and Revelation 2:14, could substantiate the idea
as a reference to
witchcraft. The Amplified Bible has in brackets after the name of Balaam
"a foreteller of events"
(Numbers 22:5), and Balaam used enchantment and divination
(Numbers 23:23). Joshua 13:22 does not contradict this idea in
saying he was a soothsayer because a witch can be a sorcer and magician,
and witchcraft includes any and all facets of occultism. Balaam's real god was money.
Jude 1:11 says,
"...Like Balaam, they will do anything for money."
So regardless of what Balaam was, his will went
contrary to the will of God and he died because of it
(Numbers 31:8).
My thoughts are completely different from yours, says the LORD.

Black Mass
The Black Mass has never played any part in English witchcraft. Until
the close of the nineteenth century the term itself was quite unknown
in England, and there is good reason for the belief that it was a
modern conception in Continental Europe.8
The inner significance of the Black Mass is the fraternity of man with
man, defiance of the
Christians’ heaven, and worship of Nature’s God under unnatural and
perverted forms.9
Anton LaVey, author of the Satanic Bible, gives this
description of the Black Mass:
"A defrocked priest stands before an altar consisting of a nude woman,
her legs spread-eagled and vagina thrust open, each of her outstretched
fists grasping a black candle made from the fat of unbaptized babies,
and a chalice containing the urine of a prostitute (or blood of a
child who had his throat cut) reposing on her belly. An inverted cross
hangs above the altar, and triangular hosts of ergot-laden bread or
black-stained turnip are methodically blessed as the priest dutifully
slips them in and out of the altar-lady’s labia. Then an invocation
to Satan and various demons is followed by an array of prayers and
psalms chanted backwards or interspersed with obscenities...all
performed within the confines of a ‘protective’ pentagram drawn on
the floor. Then follows a potpourri of flagellation, prayer-book
burning, cunnilingus, fellatio, and general hindquarters kissing- all
done to a background of ribald recitations from the Holy Bible, and
audible expectorations on the cross."10
It must be remembered that the Black Mass is performed at every witches’ Sabbath.
Biblical Notations
According to prophecy, it seems there will be a recurrence of witchcraft
and sorcery during the last days
The so-called "witch" of Endor has frequently been quoted as a clear
example of a Biblical witch. Yet the remarkable thing about this
notorious lady is that not only is she plainly not a witch, but she is
not even called one in the Biblical text.
There is a command in Exodus 22:18 about not allowing a witch to live.
The Hebrew word used here for witch is kashaph. The word comes from an
Arabic root meaning to obscure or to eclipse, used of the sun or moon.
From this the Hebrew might mean dark or gloomy, or muttering in a dark
and low tone. Magicians are generally associated with darkness, and are
given to low mumblings:
"Thy speech shall be low out of the dust"
It has long been thought that this word "witch" in
In James Chapter One is quoted Samuel’s words to Saul,
"disobedience is as the sin of witchcraft"
(properly sorcery). Sorcery is linked again with whoredom
and idolatry in the famous retort of Jehu to Joram
Another Biblical word for witchcraft or wizardry (qesem) is more
properly translated "divination". It is used of obtaining oracles by
casting lots. Men wished to know the future and used various means
which might help them to discover the unknown or to decide important
actions. One of the most popular ways of casting lots was by using
arrows, special pointless arrows, originally rods. By the manner in
which they fell action was decided. This divination has nothing to do
with witchcraft.
These and other types of activity, loosely translated "witchcraft"
are in reality magic, good or bad, and sorcery.
They are conscious and deliberate practices, that may be intended for
useful or for harmful ends. They are not the unconscious or nocturnal
witchcraft in which Europeans and Africans have believed.11
If the Biblical words for a witch do not describe the sort of person
later called a witch, yet there may be some practices which resemble
witchcraft. There is a strange passage in
The word rendered "pillows" may refer to some bands sewn on to the
garments, like the phylacteries which were worn by Pharisees at a
later date. This would mean that magical strips are sewn on to robes
as charms and amulets, either for protection against or for
incitement towards demonic forces. The Hebrew literally translated
suggests that the women sew these bands on to the hands of God, as if
to tie him, but this is hard to credit. It is easier to understand as
an action of sewing by
these women on to the garments of people who come to them.
The word "kerchief" is uncertain, but it may refer to veils
which were worn as protections against evil, or else to prevent the
victims seeing what was happening to them.
There are other scattered references in the Old Testament to evil
forces, which may mean either the magic arts in general or evil
spirits which operate at night. Thus in the Psalms, in particular, there is
"you shall not be afraid for the terror by night"
Evil men and women practise what the Hebrew calls awen, a word which includes
evil deeds, magic, and sorcery. These are the ones who set
"the snare of the fowler"
for the unwary
He who fears God need fear nothing else
Psychological Analysis
Basically, witches are people mentally afflicted with the obsession
that they have the power to harm others by thinking them harm. The
Freudian doctrine of the Omnipotence of Thought shows that men
imagine that they can affect their fellows, and even the course of
nature, simply by the power of thought.
Regarding the spell or hex, so long as man knows the meaning of fear,
he will need the ways and means to defend himself against his fears.
Man always fears those things he does not understand. This is the
philosophy of the spell-casting witch. She uses a person’s own fears
against him.
The real secret of witch-belief lies in the nature of mind itself,
and the whole problem of what psychologists call projection is worthy
of far greater study than it has so far received. The conversion of
feelings of guilt into hostility towards others is a well-known human
frailty which is responsible not only for the illusion of persecution
but the need for a scapegoat. This seems to be a permanent tendency
in the human mind.13
Spiritual Warfare
Witches and warlocks are demon-filled people sold out to doing Satan's will. They do
his bidding and many times they clash against devout Christians doing
God's will. When this happens they can send demons to torment Christians
and thwart their work. A true Christian can be oppressed but not possessed.
When this happens, the Christian must put on his or her suit of armor
mentioned in the bible
Every form of superstition is an attempt to penetrate the
unknown- either to forestall evil or to foretell the future. Men have always
wanted to know. That is why, down the ages, they have consulted
oracles and listened to the predictions of prophets and augurs,
wizards and witches; that is why they have looked for omens in the
flights of birds: that is why they have sacrificed animals and examined their
entrails, interpreted dreams and believed in numbers, cast horoscopes and
consulted the stars.
All such superstition is a substitute faith. It capitalizes and grows
on ignorance and fear: it bewitches and bemuses the credulous and the
gullible. It makes no moral nor ethical demands; it is selfish and
self-centered; it is irrational and absurd. The most powerful
corrective of superstition is a right belief in God.14
The reasons are many as to why a generation claiming to be the most
enlightened and best informed in history are embracing this ancient
cult of the Chaldeans:
This is why there has been a recurrence of witchcraft in modern day America. It
is significant that European belief in witchcraft only received its death-blow
with the spread of modern medical and scientific knowledge, and with the spread
of revivalistic Christianity. America needs a revival and great turning to God.
This would be an effective way of destroying the influence of witchcraft and the
occult sciences.
Christianity is not interested in the question of mere survival; what matters is
the quality of life beyond the grave. What the creeds affirm is a life which is
rich and full, splendid and transcendent: the resurrection of the body and life
everlasting."
Sources for the above references:
"In 1981 the Witches International Coven Council (Wicca) listed
several goals at their convention in Mexico. This list was intercepted
and confiscated by law-enforcement officials. Among their objectives are:
1. To bring about personal debts, causing discord and disharmony within families.
2. To remove or educate the "new-age youth" by:
3. To have laws changed to benefit our ways, such as
Healed by Satan?
My late friend, Cal Midgley, once told me, "Satan is like a mad dog on
the end of a chain. God will only allow him to go so far."

Jesus Christ created Lucifer who later became the devil by his own choice
"For you are the children of your father the Devil, and you love to
do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning and
has always hated the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies,
it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies".
How was the Devil a murderer? According to the Word of God, Satan
was the one behind Cain influencing and helping him to murder his brother.
"We must not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and killed
his brother. And why did he kill him? Because Cain had been doing what
was evil, and his brother had been doing what was right".
What are some other lies from Satan to you?
One lie is that witchcraft has come out of Christianity. Where
did they get that idea? Because early Christians also held their ceremonies
at night, used abandoned crypts to hold the ceremonies, and wore dark
robes with hoods to shield their identities.
This is as bad a lie as the erroneous Mormon belief that Satan is the
brother of Jesus Christ.
"Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last days some
will turn away from what we believe; they will follow lying spirits and
teachings that come from demons..."
If you are a witch or satanist, or thinking about becoming one,
I have a question to ask you.
Do you really want to love, worship, and obey a being like Satan who is a
murderer and a liar?
Satanism is divided into two major camps:
1. Traditional Satanism (also called LaVeyan Satanism)
What's the difference between these two different Satanic camps?
The big difference is in the perception of Satan
and the group's activities towards him.
The traditionalists
do not worship Satan- they may not even believe that he even exists.
Most don't believe in God or in a literal hell.
Also their code of conduct is strictly followed. It was written by
Anton Szandor LaVey in 1967 and is called
1. Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
I got an email from a lady who is a Satanist. She wanted to make sure
that I did not get her higher brand of traditional Satanism confused with
the devil worshippers. She was insistent that traditional Satanism
does not harm little children. She said that she liked Satanism because of the
consensual sex among adults.
If you let the Devil ride with you
The Nine Satanic Statements:
Another trick of Satan is
The Devil Worshippers believe that Satan exists and literally worship
him. They also know God exists but have made a choice to serve Satan
rather than God. To these people Satan is god. They do certain things
to prove their worship for Satan, for doing Satan's will, and to
prove their sincerety to others in the group.
The methods of worship to Satan varies from group to group:
Jesus said, "For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder,
adultery, all other sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander.
These are what defile you".
Most Satanic groups practice man's inhumanity to man.
They follow the pathway of hate rather than love.
It's the spirit of rebellion and lawlessness.
A requirement in
each of these groups is for each member to become demon possessed.
This possession is mandantory in order to receive the necessary power
involved to commit the crimes of secrecy and to participate in and perform the devil rites.
Another trick of the Devil is for him to do something contrary to you. Then he will lie to you and deceive you into believing that it is Jesus Christ who is to blame.
Being a satanist isn't just about being against God- it isn't just
about raising your fist in the face of the God who loves you-
rather, it is also about hurting those persons who love you.
Hurting your parents, sabotaging your boss or your friend's ministry,
cheating a relative in a business
deal, being unfaithful to your mate, sexually abusing one or more of
your children, playing off people against one another, destroying trust
in God and in others, and harming others in various ways who love you
are just a few examples of what it means to live the satanic lifestyle.
And you can justify it all as long as you get your own selfish way.
If you live like hell you are likely to get there someday!
It's called the spiritual law of sowing and reaping. You will reap on
this earth what you have sowed on this earth. And this law from God
cannot be nullified or changed in any way. It will happen to you. For
every dirty, evil, foul deed that you have done to someone else it will
come back to you some how, some place, and some way. You are not going
to get away with it. Satan does not have the power to stop God from judging you on this
earth. And Satan does not have the power to stop God from judging you after you die.
Since you love Satan so much and since you call him Master then God
will allow you to spend eternity with him. An eternity in hell fire together.
A Warning From God To You Against Abusing Children:
How terrible it will be for anyone who causes others to sin.
Temptation to do wrong is inevitable, but how terrible it will be for
the person who does the tempting. So if your hand or foot causes you
to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better to enter heaven
crippled or lame than to be thrown into the unquenchable fire with
both of your hands and feet. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge
it out and throw it away. It is better to enter heaven half blind
than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell.
Beware that you don't despise a single one of these little ones. For
I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of
my heavenly Father".
GOOD NEWS FOR YOU
But there is good news. You can go to Heaven rather than Hell. I now
send you the invitation to change sides and to invite Jesus Christ to
come and live in your heart. When Jesus literally comes into your heart any
Satanic demons there will be literally and instantly cast out by Him.
It's time that you were immersed in love rather than in pain and in
hate. It's time that you felt peace in your heart rather than torment.
It's time that your conscience be cleansed from guilt. It's time that
your sins be instantly washed away by the blood of Christ.
God can set you free from everything evil that you have been involved in.
And it's done just like the old hymn says: Nothing But The Blood of Jesus.
Jesus Christ offers you a new life in Him. Jesus loves you and He wants you.
He is willing to forgive you for anything that you did as a devil
worshipper. Repent right now, ask Him to take away your sins, ask Him
to apply His cleansing blood to your heart and soul, acknowledge that
Jesus Christ is God the Son and ask Him to possess you, and tell Him
that you are sorry for making a mess of your life. Tell him that you
are sorry for hurting the people who love you. Tell him that you are
sorry and made a mistake by worshipping Satan and his imps. Then watch
what Christ does for you- expect a miracle!
You should view God in the image of Jesus Christ-
Once Christ comes to literally live inside of your heart take your
Satanic books and relics and burn them. Then find the nearest
Once you are strong in the resurrection power of Jesus Christ the
pastor will encourage you to receive the power of the Holy Spirit
in an act of spiritual baptism
There is never a right way to do wrong.

THIS INFORMATION WAS FURNISHED YEARS AGO BY
(Revelation 9:21; 18:23:21:8; and 22:15).
I Samuel chapter 28 is the reference.
The medium of Endor is called baalath ob in Hebrew, a mistress of a
familiar spirit or talisman. This does not mean a familiar animal, as
in later European witchcraft. It refers probably to the "control", as
modern spiritualism terms it, which is supposed to take charge of the
medium and through her mouth gives messages from the dead.
(Isaiah 29:4).
Exodus chapter 22 is best
understood as "poisoner". This explanation was much quoted
in King Charles II’s time, when capital punishment for witchcraft ceased. Men argued
that the Biblical verse did not refer to all manner of magic or
witches’ assemblies, but only to poisoning. A man who killed his
enemy with poison was guilty, of course, of a capital crime. This is
still true.
But apart from poisoning all the many other activities attributed to
witches were not capital offences, or indeed based on actual
occurrences. There was no Biblical support for applying capital
punishment to them.
(2 Kings 9:22). Both sorcery and whoredom are connected with the magical and
fertility cults of Canaan which so often culminated in prostitution
and human sacrifice. The Hebrew prophets declaimed in great
indignation against this immorality and magic which undermined true
religion and ethics. The man who practices magic uses an evil power,
to undermine the righteous by crooked ways and secret arts. He is a
man of Belial, a man of blood and wicked ways.
Ezekiel 13:18-21 that cries,
"Woe to the women that sew pillows upon all elbows, and make
kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls."
This sounds like authentic witchcraft belief, as found in other parts
of the world, and it is significant that it occurs in a late period
of Israel’s history, spoken by a prophet who was living in exile in
Babylon in the sixth century B.C. Here he would be in contact with
new ideas and beliefs, such as may have been little known to the
inhabitants of Palestine.
(Psalm 91:5). It is at night that evil is thought to be unleashed and then the wicked
do their plotting
(Psalm 36:4). That this is not mere enmity but could refer to a form of witchcraft is
clear from
Psalm 11:2. Here the soul is thought to fly like a bird while the wicked shoot at it
by night.
(Psalm 91:3). The just call upon the Lord so that
"the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands"
(Psalm 9:16). No doubt many of these verses may be taken in several ways, as the
oppression of the poor by the rich, the envy of an enemy at the upright and
prosperous, or as the evil deeds of magicians and night-workers. These words, which
to western ears sound like plain enmity, are found as technical terms among the
Babylonians and neighbors of the Jews. Nets and snares
(Psalm 140:5) are common words for magic and cursing, and they have a deeper meaning
than is apparent on the surface.12
but
he who fears not God
needs to fear everything else.
(Ephesians 6:10-18) and then go to spiritual warfare against the devil
and his imps. Take the authority of the name of Jesus Christ and rebuke
Satan with this. Satan cannot stand against the power and authority of the
One (Jesus) who defeated him at Calvary and he will flee when you confront
him in the name of Jesus. Jesus is greater than Satan and Jesus has more
power than Satan does. You cannot fight Satan in your own power but you
can use the spiritual power of the Lord to fight him with.
Conclusion
People must believe something. If they have nothing sensible to
believe, then they will believe nonsense. It is
a fact commonly observed that when faith in God decays, superstition
grows; and today, with the withering of faith, there is seen the
flowering of credulity. This means that an amazing number of
civilized people have adopted a view of the universe which can most
properly be designated as magical.
(1) It is an age of wide-spread fear and anxiety, aggravated by war
abroad and violence at home,
(2) It is a time of confusion and moral disintegration, when
traditional mores of behavior are being discarded,
(3) Institutionalized religion has failed to provide answers to the
questions that men are asking,
(4)It is an age of space exploits when men’s thoughts are being
geared to interplanetary travel and to the myriad mysteries of the astronomic universe,
(5) It is an age of depersonalization, and
(6) Man has always been attracted by the mysterious and the unknown,
and finds it a pleasant diversion from the humdrum and drudgery of
day-to-day existence.15

There is a trick of the devil used here. Satan will
afflict a person. Then the evil worker will "pray for healing in Satan's name."
Satan will then stop afflicting the person so that they return back to
normal again. However, being deceived, the person thinks that he or she is
healed in the devil's name. Then the devil get's glory and worship.
This is what Satan wants but he is a cheat, a fraud, and a deceiver in his
character and methods.
Satan's agenda is to kill, steal, and destroy, not to heal or do good.
Rather, Satan's method is to use a person for awhile and then kill him or her.
SATANISM EXPOSED
(John 1:3). And what did the
devil's creator say about him? I'm afraid what He said is not very flattering:
(John 8:44)
(I John 3:12)
(I Timothy 4:1).

2. Theistic Satanism (also called Devil Worship)
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9. Do not harm little children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his divine spiritual and intellectual development, has become the most vicious animal of all!
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!

Satan may promise you money, sex, fame, or power and you may get it all.
At least, for a time. But, there's a payback time coming to you
while you are on this earth. This payback is from
God- isn't it interesting that the Satanic Bible does not happen to
mention it. However, it is mentioned
in the Holy Bible from God in Galatians Chapter 6:
"Don't be misled. Remember that you can't ignore God and get away
with it. You will always reap what you sow! Those who live only to
satisfy their own sinful desires will harvest the consequences of decay and death."
(Galatians 6:7-8).
Jesus called a small child over to him and put the child among them. Then He said,
"I assure you, unless you turn from your
sins and become as little children, you will never get into the
Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, anyone who becomes as humble as this
little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. And anyone who
welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me. But
if anyone causes one of these little ones who trusts in me to lose
faith, it would be better for that person to be thrown into the sea
with a large millstone tied around the neck.
(Matthew 18:2 - 10)

Assemblies of God church and make an appointment to speak with the
pastor there. Explain to him what has just happened to you and he will
help you get into God's word and help you get sound Biblical teaching.
If he can't help you directly I am sure that he will be able to find someone who can.
(Acts 2:4). This dynamic power from God
is greater than anything that Satan has to offer. You need this power
to help you live the Christian life and to help you fight against the
power of the enemy. And God is always happy to share His power with you to help you.
(that show you how much God loves you)
Satanists and witches celebrate eight major Sabbats during the year. Each one holds special
significance to them. In addition, Satanists hold a member’s birthdate in reverence. On these dates
there should be a significant amount of activity amongst traditional worshippers of Satanism and
witchcraft. If bizarre rituals are to occur, within organized satanic groups, they will most likely occur
on or about one of these dates.
