WITCHES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD?
A couple of weeks ago, I walked into a local restaurant and noticed the server had a pentagram hanging around his neck. Chancing he might be offended, I asked, “Are you a witch?” He looked at me hauntingly and said, “I wish!” Are witches around? You bet.
While Halloween raises the issue, this isn’t about the holiday. In 1990, there were around 800 Wiccan Witches in the country. The most recent estimate projects there are now 800,000. That’s a garage full!
Here’s how the growth works.
Last week a friend noticed that the cosmetic shop she frequented had crystal and strange objects everywhere as well as a large pentagram on the front door. Ralph, the rather effeminate owner, kept talking about the latest beauty offerings while also chattering about Wicca and what this strange organization could do for the customers. My friend tried to invite him to church but he resisted vehemently. Didn’t like churches in any form!
In the mist of this, one of the customers stated that she was having trouble with her estranged husband and wanted him to stay away. Ralph had a suggestion. “Bring me a lock of his hair and I’ll fix your problem. A few days later, the women returned with a cutting of hair.
“I’ll drop the hair in this jar with a special solution I make up,” Ralph explained. “That’ll do the trick. He’ll stay away.” Apparently, the man didn’t come back.
My friend found this disturbing and decided to check out Ralph on the internet. To her shock, good old Ralph had a website selling a wide assortment of products for witches and witchcraft. Ralph was a full-fledged witch… or warlock.
Laying movies and folklore aside, Wicca witchcraft is spiritual rebellion and resistance to our heavenly Father, often manifesting through curses, hexes, incantations, or subtle words of judgment against others. The Bible warns that witchcraft is detestable to God and incompatible with His will (Deuteronomy 18:10-14, Galatians 5:19-21) Battling witchcraft involves spiritual vigilance, prayer, scripture, and the use of God’s authority to protect your mind, heart, and life from spiritual attacks. Keep your eyes open. Take it seriously.
We’re not carving a pumpkin or decorating with dried corn stalks. We are dealing with a spiritual force in today’s world, a creation from the dark side. Long after Halloween, take seriously that these forces are still hard at work.
Protect yourself by staying all from all such expressions. Keep your eyes on only one source of blessing, your heavenly Father.
Remember miracles never cease.
