Witchcraft Aimed At Our Kids :: By Candy Austin

This piece will be on the permeation of witchcraft within our society.  An evil that has been foisted upon our kids for several generations now. I am going to start with our generation who were kids growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. Unbeknownst to us, our Saturday morning cartoons were programming kids to embrace witchcraft by openly teaching the art of magic, spells, occult images, and witchcraft.

Looking back now at the ‘Not So Innocent’ Cartoon Favorites of our time like the “Smurfs” (think Magic and the Evil Wizard Gargamel and his cat Azrael), “He Man” (Magic, Evil Forces, Serpent gods, Sorcery, chock full of the Occult), “Scooby Doo” (Ghosts, Voodoo, Witchcraft, Levitation, Demons, and more), and “Thundercats” (inspired by Heathen gods and full of Illuminati Mind-Control Images) just to name a few. It is no wonder that, by the time we had our kids, we were so desensitized to the Occult and Witchcraft that we had little to no discernment in preventing the inundation of such to continue.

From the ‘Not So Innocent’ 70’s and 80’s to our kids’ generation, the ‘In Your Face Occultism’ of the 90’s and beyond brought with it an explosion of Nefarious Cartoons aimed at our kids! Since then there has been a plethora of Vulgar, New Age, and Occult-laden cartoons to choose from! Hitting the channels were the likes of the “Power Puff Girls” (Flying, Magic, Feminism, Witchcraft), “Goosebumps” (Satanic Themes, Fear-Mongering, Ghosts, Ghouls, Death), “Beavis and Butthead” (Amoral, Violent Content, Vandalism, Murder Theme, Overall Very Bad for Children), and “South Park” (Vulgar Language, Sexual Content, Violence, Drugs and Alcohol).

Excerpts from VirtuousDreams.com, ‘Kids Shows and Witchcraft’:

Here are some of the symbols and practices found in the Basics of Magick book …

earth, water, fire, and air

pentacles, cups, wands, and swords

hobgoblins, leprechauns, dwarfs, nymphs, genies, fairies, and elves

mermaids, tritons, and sirens

yin and yang, feminine and masculine, moon and sun

chakras, meditation, hatha yoga, raja yoga, mantra yoga, kundalini yoga

yellow square, silver crescent, red triangle, blue circle, black oval

clairvoyance, auras, ESP, psychic healing, telepathy, telekinesis

scrying, astrology, tarot reading, numerology

summoning spirits to do the will of the magician

There it is. As simple as it gets. When you cast a spell, you are requesting the help of a fallen angel. When you get a reading from a psychic, you are seeking advice from fallen angels. When you meditate, you are rolling out the red carpet for fallen angels to possess you. Why do you think the Hindus and the Buddhists and the Taoists all meditate to achieve enlightenment? Why is meditation the necessary step? Do you think nothing happens when these monks meditate? Of course something happens! You channel fallen angels via witchcraft techniques.

I am sure there are many more cases of witchcraft in kids’ television shows. I bet you can think of some that I haven’t even brought up. I bet you can think of some “teenage” or “adult” tv shows that are just as bad or even worse! I am frustrated that parents who claim to be Christian don’t know what witchcraft is. I am concerned they have no idea that witchcraft is actually the opposite religion to Christianity. –Source

Solid examples of Witchcraft Entertainment grooming our kids also include movies and games such as “Avatar” (Preaches a Worship of ‘Created Things’ Rather Than the Creator, New Age, Satanic, Demonic Paganism), “Harry Potter” (Powers of Evil and Witchcraft to Solve Problems, Satanism, Spells, Incantations), “Dungeons and Dragons” (Occultism, Witchcraft, Satanic Rituals, Sexual Violence), “Sabrina the Teenage Witch Animated Series” (Magic, Witchcraft, Spell Casting), “Vampirina” (Vampire Theme, Halloween Fantasy, Occult Theme); one can go on and on, but we can clearly see our kids are being blatantly targeted and groomed as we speak!

Excerpts from Dealtorontohomes.com, ‘For Children: Occult Training in Evil’:

The world of adults and children is being programmed to accept Satan’s occultism while rejecting God and the Bible. One day Satan will be permitted to bring to worldwide power his antichrist. In the kingdom of the antichrist, the use and acceptance of the occult will be widespread. In order to reach the point where people will openly accept and love the occult, prior conditioning and brainwashing is required. In this article, we have focused on the young children and the occult training they have been receiving. For older children, the indoctrination is more direct, and there are more avenues to learn the occult. Older children can be influenced by rock music, movies, TV, books, and games.

The antichrist will blaspheme God, His people, and anything to do with the Lord. While exalting evil and the occult, the antichrist will blaspheme anything related to God. All followers of the antichrist have rejected God and accepted Satan. They will also hate and blaspheme the things of God just like their father, the devil.

IT HASN’T HURT ME!

The most common argument from blind but well-meaning parents is this: I grew up on fairy tales with light occultism and I turned out OK!

The fact that a person is defending the occult is proof that they have been hurt by it! It shows a loss of discernment and a toleration of something very evil.

Is there really any good excuse for exposing your children to the occult? Think about it. The occult is an abomination to God; and in Old Testament days, it carried the death penalty.

Exodus 22:18 “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”

It is really a good thing to expose young impressionable children to “good” witches, bad witches, spells and other occult evils? If parents have the goal of raising up a Godly seed to be faithful servants to the Lord, should the occult in any form be tolerated? Think about it!

Note: there is no such thing as a ‘good’ witch! All who are involved in the occult draw their power from the devil.

If you are a Christian, it is time to do some house cleaning! Remove all the so-called innocent forms of occultism for your child. Replace evil fairy tales like Snow White and Cinderella with good Bible stories. Any other forms of the occult, destroy and remove it all from your home. Instead of the occult, fill the minds of your children with the things of the Lord. Read them Bible stores and give them Godly and wholesome activities to do. Train the child on good things and do not expose them to Satan’s world of the occult. There is no such thing as “harmless” fun or fantasy when dealing with the occult. It is all a sin so great against the Lord that it is called an abomination!

Remember the goals that Satan has for your child:

– He wants to start introducing the occult to children at a young age in many fun and innocent ways. This will lead the child to accept the world of the occult as a good thing.

– Harry Potter would be too strong and scary for a young child. Therefore, milder forms of the occult will be presented to young children.

– Occult fairy tales, cartoons with witchcraft, and occult toys (spell-casting Barbie) is a great way for Satan to introduce young children to the occult in a pleasant manner.

– The goal is to slowly lead your child into the world of the occult. As your child grows up, Satan wants to introduce more and stronger forms of the occult. The end result is a rejection of the Lord Jesus and an acceptance of witchcraft and all the evils of the occult. One day when the antichrist comes to power, lost people will flock to him and will accept his occultic ways. The lifetime of training and brainwashing in the occult will pay off for Satan when lost people bow the knee and worship the antichrist beast one day!

It is time for parents to commit themselves to raise up children for the Lord. Reject the evil of Satan’s occultism and train up your children in the ways of the Lord. Parents are very accountable, and it is a serious sin to let your child go astray into the world of the occult.

Beware and always remember that the occult is an abomination to the Lord. It doesn’t matter if the occult is presented in a fairy tale or in a hardcore witchcraft book. It is still an abomination to the Lord and will be avoided by all God’s people!

Here is God’s attitude toward any form of the occult:

Deut 18:10-12 “There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.”

Lev 20:6 “And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.”

Are fairy tales with witches, spells, and other forms of occultism really innocent and harmless fun? –Source

In case you have been hiding under a rock somewhere or have had your head buried in the sand in the past decade, the Ticking Time Bomb is this… we are living in the Last of the Last Days, and the world is ramping up to the time the Bible calls the Great Tribulation! The powers that be want to implement Agenda 2030, a form of Socialism and New World Order, if you will. The Bible talks about a time of a One-World Government, One-World Religion, One-World Economic System; and it all starts with grooming the younger generations (our kids) to get their minds bent away from GOD, Family, and our Christian/Judeo Moral Values!

THE HELLISH BLUEPRINT FOR THE ASSAULT ON THE CHILDREN

(Ravaged By The New Age – Satan’s Plan To Destroy Our Kids)

There is the shocking assault and all-out spiritual war being waged currently against the kids by Satan’s demonic legions, and his New Age leadership and their millions of disciples. New Age occultism is sweeping across America and the globe, snatching up the innocent children in its rotten net. Satan’s program of ongoing, systematic child abuse knows no bounds. Images, concepts and symbols of the New Age, and of sorcery and the occult now permeate kids’ TV programs, cartoons, and movies. Unsuspecting children are constantly being exploited and abused by willful teachers and school administrators bent on poisoning captive young minds with occultic, New Age doctrines and ritual.

Thirteen Doctrines of The New Age

(1) The children of the future will serve a One-World (Planetary Government) and live in a One-World Culture.

(2) Patriotism to one’s country must be abolished and all national barriers destroyed in order to build a New One-World Order.

(3) Children will accept that Eastern mystical religion is to be married to the Christianity of the West to forge a new, unified social and religious order of Universal Truths.

(4) Teenagers and youth will rebel and revolt against their parents and against authority to help usher in the New Age World Order.

(5) Youth and all of humanity must accept that the time will inevitably come when grown-ups who refuse to become part of the New Age will have to be killed. They are to be considered as lowly germs, an infection or blot on humanity that must be stamped out and eradicated.

(6) The traditional family unit is not desirable for the Aquarian, or New Age. Children belong to the government, to the world and the community–the human group–not to their parents. A new kind of family unit must inevitably come into existence.

(7) Young people must be taught to believe in reincarnation and karma (the Law of Rebirth) rather than the resurrection and judgment teaching of the Bible. This belief must guide behavior, especially the sexual conduct.

(8) Absurd and immature notions of sin and guilt must not be imparted to children by parents, teachers, pastors and other adults. A more permissive and worldly attitude must be adopted.

(9) Children are to be taught that all religions–Christianity, Witchcraft, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Paganism, etc.–are equally worthwhile and that it doesn’t matter in which god one believes.

(10) The new generation of youth must recognize that Jesus did not come to save or convert anyone; because no one is lost.

(11) Christian doctrines, such as that of heaven, hell, and judgment, must be discarded and the theology of the Old Testament must be repudiated.

(12) A New Age World Religion must be established without Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The Christian Church is dead and must be replaced.

(13) The coming New Age World Religion will emphasize the unity of all religions while rejecting Jesus Christ’s profound Biblical statement, “I am the way, the truth and the life.”

Here is just a partial list of ancient satanic teachings, practices and symbols now in vogue and being pushed on the children and teens: color therapy, heavy metal music, unisex dress, sadism, sorcery, incest and immorality, hypnotism, New Age mood music, palmistry, rebellion, astral travel, mystery teachings, ESP (psychic powers), God as Mother, astrology, nature worship, rhythmic breathing, visualization, psychedelic drugs, sodomy, feminism, necromancy, dragons, pyramids, chanting, yoga, demonic music, fortune telling, levitation, self-love, fire walking, body tattoos, numerology, pedophilia, mental imagery; the unicorn, pegasus and other magical beasts; communication with the dead; meditation (other than on God’s word); and satanic symbols (pentagram, triangle, circle, etc.).

VICTORY IN JESUS!

(Ravaged By The New Age – Satan’s Plan To Destroy Our Kids)

We must totally depend on God and His divine protection, and we can know that He is able. We must ask Him for guidance, and we must do so continuously. Let us contend for the undefiled faith, not wavering, not growing weary without reservation or compromise. Persevere, but do not despair when people reject your message of Love and Salvation. Rejoice even when they revile and persecute you. The children should be encouraged to participate with us in spiritual warfare. Cleanse the home of rock music albums, demonic toys, Satanic posters, idols and so forth. – Source

It is no secret that we are all being groomed and programmed, especially our kids now more than ever! If we were to have kids all over again today, we would now make sure they are either Home- Schooled or enrolled in a Christian School; we would definitely not teach them pagan holiday practices (especially Halloween); we would totally steer them towards Godly Children’s Entertainment such as the Veggie Tales and whatever Bible-based animation we could find; and we would only buy them toys mainly from the Christian Store or ones that do not reflect the Vulgar, Satanic, and Witchcraft influences that the world wants for our kids to have!

In conclusion, we all know that we cannot always shield our kids from every evil or from all outside influences, but to be ‘Lax’ concerning this Issue is like Handing the Demonic and the Occult over to them on a Silver Platter! From my Experience and Honest Opinion, being anything less than Vigilant about this ‘Not So Innocent’ Topic almost Guarantees that they will Fall Away from the LORD! Make no mistake; the subconscious influence on the mind is very powerful… be careful what you allow in!

Lastly, which would be better? To do all you can to fill the gap between them and Satan? Or to side step out of the way and let him have full access to your kids?!

“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD” (Joshua 24:15, KJV).

***We recently bought the New 2019 Pilgrim’s Progress Animated Cartoon on DVD from Mardels Christian Bookstore. We have watched it twice already and could watch it over and over… it is that good! If you want Interesting, Educational, and Inspirational Godly Entertainment for your whole family, we highly recommend this ‘Relevant to Our Christian Journey and Faith Building’ Animated Movie!***

Until next time… Maranatha!

A Word of Warning :: By Hannes Joubert

Hi Everyone; I hope everyone is well? It has been quite some time since my last contribution to the Rapture Ready article library, and I sincerely hope that this piece gets the “go-ahead.” Be warned, it is direct.

I must admit that I have had many topics come to mind to write about, but, invariably, I wait too long to put finger to keyboard; and the Lord has someone else make the contribution that I was lax in making, for whatever reason. For this I repent.

However, two things that are major in my eyes have happened recently here in my country, South Africa. These two things stand out far above the usual end-of-times “goings and comings” that we are unfortunately all too used to, which means, in the South African context, they are pretty “major” as we have our fair share of disappointments in this beautiful country. These two occurrences caused me to despair in the first instance, but that despair gave way to hope, and then to a sobering realization.

I will expound on these two “signs of the times” items and then finish with the actual theme of this letter, and that is – A word of warning.

Whilst I do not have all the nitty gritty facts about the two things I am about to discuss with you, I do know enough to be able to discuss them and will restrict my comments to that which I do know.

Not too long ago, about 3 weeks or so, the major Afrikaans “mainline” church body, known as the NG Kerk, or Dutch Reformed Church, which used to be the “go-to” Church body for the Afrikaans community, finally succumbed to the relentless pressure applied to it by the liberal left and the LGBTQ+ community and officially declared that they would approve of and perform confirmation of same sex marriages. To be honest, I could never understand why any person of a homosexual bent would want to fight for acceptance within a community whose ethos clearly does not support their membership. My homosexual brother could never explain it to me. I am a pragmatist and I understand, of course, that Satan was listening when Jesus said in Mark 3:25,

“If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”

So, the best way for Satan to bring the Church house down? Divide it by using contemporary hot-button issues like feminism and homosexuality i.e. female preachers, homosexual preachers and, of course, homosexual marriages, in front of God, no less, seeing as the Bible is outdated (that is meant to be sarcastic btw). This caused grief in my heart, and I thought that this would be the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back. To be honest, I am not entirely surprised that this mainline denomination took this stance, as in all my years I cannot remember hearing a sermon on prophecy, Revelation or even too much on sin. I do remember hearing about how the Church has replaced Israel and how tithing is the right thing to do to receive Blessings, ad nauseam. This says a lot, I believe. When my local Church started bringing in new age symbolism, I and my family checked out.

On an entirely different note, but just as disconcerting, if not more so: yesterday, a video made by a parent of a child in a school started making the rounds via social media. This parent made a video of an exhibition of art of a final-year high school student of the school. I am not sure what the topic was that was given to the students, but this student decided to interpret this topic to mean “make a mockery of Jesus, His death, the Bible and to elevate the status of the devil.” I am also not sure of how many students were involved in this terrible display, as there were so many different pieces ranging from technicolor paintings, to monochromatic paintings, paper mache work, bead work and even some clay, if I am not mistaken.

To describe what I saw on the video is, well, difficult; but suffice it to say, the Last Supper was rendered to be an assembly of animals, demons, and ghouls as the 12 disciples; and Jesus was depicted as… wait for it… Ronald McDonald! There was a painting of Jesus dressed like a hippy – ray-bans and all – with His shirt open, insides spilling out, with the devil standing behind Him with his hand on the shoulder of Jesus.

A Bible, or many Bibles, in fact, were destroyed to make paper mache models picturing what seems to be the “de-evolution” of the devil, represented in bust form by the likeness of the Baphomet (goat man) going through various stages that finally end with the bust of a normal-looking man.

The “creation of man” painting was rendered to show God as being a demon and man represented by a chimpanzee.

There was plenty more where that came from, and was just as disturbing. I am sure that my new-age following sister is quite chuffed (pleased) with all of this.

The school, a private franchise-type institution that has many schools throughout the country, is supposedly founded upon, gulp, CHRISTIAN VALUES… Wait, what?

The response by the schools’ group executive to the furor this exhibition created was telling: after condemning the parent for making the video and then releasing the video, even though they asked him not to release it, they defended the exhibition on the grounds that Christianity is a religion of Love, Forgiveness, understanding and JUSTICE… nothing about Jesus, just the social justice gospel. Yes, the rot has even reached our beloved shores. I personally suspect that the Christian values that the school espouses are simply a marketing tool/ruse and that no such values are engendered in the school.

So, those are the two events that caused me to despair. Even though I know times are ripening, I still have trouble accepting it.

The responses to these two events from what seems to be a fundamental Christian community is what gave me hope again:

A part of the Dutch Reformed Church published a large ad in one of the country’s largest daily publications announcing their split from the general Synod, stating that they could not abide by the decision surrounding homosexual marriages, supporting their decision with various parts of Scripture and so on. They stated that they would maintain the status quo that existed in their congregations before this latest decision. Well done, but you have more to do.

The reaction to the school art exhibition, which seems to be one of revulsion and disbelief, seems to indicate that there is still a remnant that will not stand the profaning of God’s Holy Name.

Given what we know about our Father’s character in how He handled the situation surrounding Noah and Lot and what He says about the Rapture and how it will “go down,” whatever judgment comes to this country, those of us who really name the Name of Jesus will be safe.

We also see in the Holy Scriptures that, when the judgment of God falls, it is always preceded by numerous warnings by way of His prophets, watchmen on the wall, and His prophecies. I am no prophet, nor can I be considered to be highly educated, but I can read the Bible. Therefore, to those reading this piece:

CONSIDER THIS A WARNING PRECEDING THE UNAVOIDABLE RAPTURE AND JUDGMENT OF THE ALMIGHTY.

Now comes the really scary part… Yes, God is Love, but He is Holy. Yes, God is full of Grace, but why is that Grace necessary? Because the Holiness of God demands JUDGMENT. To escape judgment is refreshingly easy, just as the Father said it would be. Realize your wretched spiritual state, sinful state and nakedness, and repent to Jesus and have faith in the finished work of JESUS.

It seems to me that there is no literal “fear of God” left on earth. Even, it seems, within the Church.

I personally believe that whilst God is longsuffering to us-ward concerning our sins and our sinful state, when we start profaning His Good, Holy Name and that of His Son who was THE propitiation for our sins as in the above two instances, Gods’ patience wears thin. Quickly.

I will say it again and again until it sinks in…

CONSIDER THIS A WARNING PRECEDING THE UNAVOIDABLE RAPTURE AND JUDGMENT OF THE ALMIGHTY.

Yes, the worldwide tribulation will come; and, yes, the believing remnant that clings to the fundamentals of the Bible will be taken in the rapture, but individual judgment can and will precede that most terrible time. So, if you are “iffy” about coming to repentance, or even dead-set against it, even if you happen to, in your “tolerance of everything else,” hate God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit who are Holy and Blessed, then I urge you in the strongest possible terms to reconsider your position and turn to Jesus.

I will say it again and again until it sinks in…

CONSIDER THIS A WARNING PRECEDING THE UNAVOIDABLE RAPTURE AND JUDGMENT OF THE ALMIGHTY.

Take this opportunity; it may be your last. Honestly, what are you waiting for? There will never be a “perfect” time in humanistic terms, but now is the perfect time in spiritual terms. You may skate by in this lifetime, but be assured of the following: God, is not mocked (Gal 6:7). Do yourself a favor; read 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12. You are either on “Team Jesus” and safe in the hereafter, or you are “Team Satan” and lost forever. No gray area, no deals to be made, no further chances. Lost. Forever.

I will say it again and again until it sinks in…

CONSIDER THIS A WARNING PRECEDING THE UNAVOIDABLE RAPTURE AND JUDGMENT OF THE ALMIGHTY.

I quote Scripture to provide you “food for thought” that can feed your spirit and hopefully nudge you in the correct direction. On the one hand, we should be glad that God says He is not man (Numbers 23:19), as I for one, have had it with this late great planet Earth and the earth-dwellers. Luckily, God has more patience; but as Numbers 23:19 shows you, God speaks and then acts, God promises and fulfils… God has promised Grace, but He has also promised judgment… Grace & Judgment: two sides of the same coin. Can’t have one without the other. Sorry. Can’t “pick and choose.” Sorry.

Don’t you be sorry…

I will say it again and again until it sinks in…
