THE SNARE OF THE OCCULT

By Alan Yusko

The goal is to recruit those who have rejected the Lord! From children to older people, Satan wants people to turn from anything Christian to the world of the occult. The devil has prospered the evil books and movies of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Sadly, he has had great success!

Those who reject the Lord have fallen in love with Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. While doing this they have turned their backs in rejection of the Lord Jesus! Some of these people even attend church and call themselves "Christian". It is amazing. People in love with the world of the occult call themselves "Christian". There is something wrong with that picture! There is no such thing as a Christian occult lover or a Christian witch.

The attack of occult acceptance is very real. Satan wants to entice people into this world of darkness as it will keep them away from the Lord Jesus and they will ultimately perish in their sins. Always remember that Satan knows he is condemned to an eternity burning in hell and he wants to take as many with him as possible. The occult is a major snare to lead people to a lost eternity in the lake of fire.

The occult has been packaged for all ages.

Children: Fairy tales full of witches casting spells. Some witches use the occult for "good" and other are bad witches. Fairy tales teach children that spells can do good or can be used for evil. This is a major lie as all the occult is evil and it belongs to the devil. Children also have all kinds of occult games and toys to develop their appetite for the world of the occult. There are ouiji boards and all kinds of toys for boys and girls. Boys have evil occultic monsters that do battle. Girls have spell casting dolls and witchcraft. Of course Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings appeals to children as well. Blind and lost adults are happy if their children develop a taste for reading occult stories. Also remember the home computer. There are many evil and occultic games filled with witchcraft and spell casting for use by children. There are also occult based cartoons and movies that entice children into the occult. Parents without any Godly discernment can be easily led astray from all the choices of occult entertainment for their children!

Adults: For the adults there is Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Like children, the adults enjoy reading the occult stories of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings along with their children. These books are not "make believe" but actually teach real occultic lessons and principles that are evil and hostile to the Lord. These books are presented as a fun way to take a witchcraft 101 course. As a result many have been deceived and have developed a enjoyable taste for the occult.

Beware of the occult! Stay far away from Satan's world as you will be led astray and die in your sins! For God's people it is not really an issue. God's people seek to please the Lord and they know the occult is wrong and to be avoided. The lost may be led astray and led into the dark world of the occult. But saved Christians will avoid the occult because they know it is an abomination to the Lord whom they love.

Here is a very applicable verse for the occult lovers:

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.

THE REAL DANGER

Here is the real danger of all the occult in Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and all the other avenues of occultic entertainment. The danger is that many will enjoy the world of the occult and be led into the practice of the occult and reject salvation found only in the Lord Jesus. Read the below for a sobering piece of Satanic fruit of the occult:

Is Harry Potter Merely Entertainment?
"I love Harry Potter. I think it would be so cool to be a witch," Sharon, age 11, says. That's my answer to anyone who says J.K. Rowling's adventure series is harmless fantasy.

Children are easily influenced and it is very important they are given Godly direction and influences. By allowing a child to enjoy Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings or any of the other occult forms of entertainment, they are wide open to develop an enjoyment of the occult. Parent, would you like your child to tell you that they want to grow up to be a witch? I certainly hope not! Occult exposure will cause children to grow up thinking the occult is very good and wish to be a wizard or a witch one day.... just like Harry Potter. As they grow older they will go deeper into the world of the occult and actually start practicing spells. The child will buy occultic training books and learn the deeper ways of Satan as they age.

This is the danger! Like a Satanic pied piper all the occult entertainment seeks to recruit and lead people away from God and into Satan's dark world. Sadly, all who reject the Lord Jesus are wide open to this form of deception! You will also find all those who love the occult do not love the Lord!

CONCLUSION

I cannot stress enough the importance of ridding your home of all occult influences. Destroy all the Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and any other forms of occult entertainment. Purge your life and your home of this evil before you or your loved ones are destroyed by it!

Here is what the early Christians did in the book of Acts:

Acts 19
18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
19 Many 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.
20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
