If you check a Thesaurus under ‘demon’ you will find it lists names that are used as the subject of many books, movies, and television shows popular today. Also listed under demon you will find the names lamia, succubus, and incubus. Lamia is another persona of Lilith. (Check the internet under Lamia.) The succubus and incubus, as mentioned in previous document, are evil sexual spirits that visit in the night. (Check dictionaries for their exact meaning.)
Evil spirits are being popularized in children’s programming. Look in a Thesaurus under demon and you will see it mentions the characters that are in nearly all the children’s programs. Evil spirits do ‘operate’ through various media and are seducing people. These popular shows are creating unclean strongholds in many people’s lives, young and old, including Christians. Christians need to wake up and realize what these evil seducing unclean spirits are doing to our minds, and the minds of our children. The Greek word for ‘spirit’ (an evil spirit) is pneuma, pnyoo’-mah; meaning demon. The Bible warns us against participating in witchcraft and watching it on television is participating in it! Our participation is allowing evil seducing spirits to affect our conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mind.
Though myths are not reality there are evil seducing spirits that influence the creation of myths and these unclean spirits are very real. Seducing and lying spirits are behind all forms of mythology. In Jewish mythology one myth in particular has a history that supposedly dates all the way back to Adam’s time. This is Lilith, who was supposed to have been the first wife of Adam.
Special Note: A person having the name ‘Lilith’, ‘Lily’, or ‘Lili’, does not mean that they, or their name is evil. This teaching refers only to the ‘Lilith’ directly connected to the Jewish myth, or to vampirism (another of Lilith’s personas), and is no reflection on a person’s given name.
The Lilith myth is very important because due to renewed interest (extending beyond the Jewish people) this one has actually formed a cult which is today being aimed towards Christians. Though this cult originates from Hebrew folklore many Christians still know it today as “Lilith”; or “Lilith Fairs”. Lilith gets her name from the Hebrew word ‘owl’ in Isaiah 34:14. The Hebrew word ‘owl’ in Isaiah 34:14 is “Liyliyth, lee-leeth’; a night spectre, screech owl”. It is interesting to note that a Greek word for ‘spirit’ in two of the New Testament scriptures (Matthew 14:26 and Mark 6:49) is “phantasma, fan’-tas-mah; …phantasm… i.e. spectre”. In these scriptures the apostles thought they were seeing a spirit and cried out for fear! Although it definitely was not an evil spirit as they had first thought; obviously they were aware that evil spirits (spectres; specters) do exist.

Lilith was worshipped by the Babylonians and you can find her winged image on ancient Babylonian artwork as a large breasted woman with wings who has an owl sitting at her feet. Check Babylonian history. Lilith’s image is becoming more and more popular in Christian homes and many are unaware of the spiritual danger and bondage that these images (idols) are causing. Many Christians know and refer to her image as an angel, but this could not be further from the truth. The Biblical description of an angel is masculine; not feminine. There is no Biblical reference to women angels or to baby angels – the winged baby statues and images are nothing more than the mythological cupid. See my document under ‘cupid’. Many people are filling their homes with these images they believe represent angels and are creating spiritually (and sexually) evil doorways into their homes. Deuteronomy 7:26: Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shall utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Joshua 6:18: And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing lest ye make yourselves accursed when ye take of the accursed thing and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. Deuteronomy 23:14: For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. II Corinthians 6:16-17: And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. I John 5:21: Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. Note: It has been my experience that people having images – they believe are lady or baby angels – experience depression, sickness, and/or sexual bondage. They are being physically, emotionally, sexually, and spiritually deceived! Even in Wiccan cults they too like the so-called lady angels. They also have the Egyptian winged lady Isis on the cover of some of their Wiccan bibles.
Having images, or likenesses, of what we think are angels in our home will invite evil ‘familiars’ to visit (or appear). These false images are pagan. Even the baby graven image with wings that people refer to as a ‘cherub’ is nothing more than ‘cupid’, which is a mythological creature. Mythology is the belief of many gods, and is false religion. As Christians we are not to have any images that represent a false religion. To put it plain and simple, this is pagan idolatry! Even though people may not be actually worshipping these objects, the objects themselves are pagan. Many people would agree that they have this religious imagery because of reverence or devotion to the Lord. Worship does not mean you have to bow or pray to something it means to have love, admiration, devotion and respect for someone or something – which is why people have, and make, man-made religious objects in the first place. Please do not get me wrong and think I am saying that all Christians are literally worshipping these objects, however, the objects themselves represent worship. The same type objects have always been here, although in the past they had pagan names. Though Christians refer to them as religious objects they do not know the true religious background of those objects. They are rooted in PAGANISM, and FALSE WORSHIP.
Christians somehow think because they own these images that the images are not considered pagan anymore, and somehow it is now acceptable to God. We are supposed to be leading people out of darkness, not mixing paganism and Christianity together creating a spiritual prison. Isaiah 42:7: To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
How can we, as Christians, help open the eyes of the blind when we are blind? Isaiah 42:17-20: They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to molten images, ye are our gods. Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye may see. Who is blind, but my servant? Or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? Who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord’s servant? Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. Jeremiah 5:21: Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not. The Bible says that true worshippers will worship God in spirit and in truth, not in flesh and in truth. John 4:23: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Psalm 145:18: The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
Even if the so-called angels in Christian homes and churches did the match Biblical description the following scriptural commandments tell us that we are not to have the image or likeness of anything in heaven above – and this includes angels. Exodus 20:3-6 and Deuteronomy 5:7-10: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Matthew 22: 37-39 and Mark 12:30-31: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. I John 2:7: Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which he had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
Some people have actually been visited by the evil and sexual spirit Lilith (a succubus spirit). She appears to them as either a vampire or as what many falsely call a lady angel. It is true that spirits do not really have a gender but they can appear as either male or female. Those who have been visited by this evil and sexual spirit know that this spirit is very real. This ‘succubus’ spirit can, and does, visit people who have allowed it access into their home and their life. At times the evil succubus, and even the incubus, spirit will hold people down in their sleep – as they are trying to awake. It will even attack or terrorize children in their sleep when it has been unwittingly allowed into the home by a parent. More on how this access is allowed later in this document. When allowed access this evil spirit is a very powerful sexual spirit that affects Christians as well as non-Christians! Some dictionaries list this evil spirit as a ‘succubus’ spirit, or ‘female demon’. This personifies Lilith! Again, though demons do not really have a gender they can mimic whatever a person desires (whether people or animals)! They can also appear as a lady angel! What Christians do not realize is that these lady images with wings are not Biblical angels! These female winged images signify Lilith and are even sold at Lilith Fairs. The women’s groups who conduct Lilith Fairs are actually worshipping and singing to the sexually seducing unclean spirits that Lilith’s image represents. Some of Lilith’s followers believe that Isaiah 34:14 is making reference to Lilith because she is known by those who are familiar with her as a night creature (owl). On ancient Babylonian artwork their goddess Lilith is portrayed as a woman with wings and she has an owl sitting at her feet. Ask me for my document on ‘owl statues/amulets’.
The story of Lilith originates from Jewish mythology (Jewish fables). Scripture gives us clear warning that we should not give heed to Jewish fables, or fables of any type. Titus 1:14: Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. II Timothy 4:3-4: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. I Timothy 4:7: But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. The Greek word for 'fables' in Titus, I Timothy, and II Timothy is “muthos, moo'-thos; …a tale, i.e. fiction (a myth), a fable”. The evil spirits that inspired the Lilith myth are the same evil spirits that seduced the “sons of God” (men not angels) in Genesis Chapter 6, while using the pagan “daughters of men” who worshipped these evil and sexual spirits as their means of seduction. See my document on Genesis Chapter 6. These same type evil and sexual spirits were also behind the original male and female graven images that the Bible calls “Baal” and “Asherah”; and they are the same evil and deceiving spirits that are behind the so-called ‘religious images’ Christians have today [including the winged images]. See my documents on ‘Baal’ and ‘Asherah’, which were the first male and female graven images in scripture.
The myth of ‘Lilith’ is where the winged lady angel images of today originated. You can check Babylonian history on the internetand you will find that a winged and even naked image of Lilith is on ancient Babylonian artwork. Based on Babylonian artwork depicting the winged Lilith it is certainly no surprise that they sell female images and statues with wings at the Lilith Fairs. Though today’s female winged images are more up to date and more attractive than the original they are all still the same in meaning. The spirit behind Lilith, and all the other winged lady images, is the exact opposite of what the Bible describes as the virtuous woman. In essence when a woman brings a female winged image of reverence into her home she is spiritually inviting Lilith who depicts a seductress woman – or more precisely she is inviting the evil spirit behind the image – into her home to seduce her spouse, and her entire family. Unclean seducing spirits are at the root of all male and female images and statues of reverence. Evil incubi and succubi spirits use them as spiritual doorways of entry into our homes – and our dreams. By having this pagan and so-called religious décor we give these evil spirits an open invitation. Many people will often experience deep depression when having a house full of the so-called lady angels. What they do not understand is that the evil spirits attached to these images and statues are out to destroy the family, and they mean business! Lilith, who is portrayed naked, clothed, or with wings (a supposed angel), is believed by her followers to have been the first wife of Adam. Can you see why it is so dangerous to believe that angels could marry people, or even more blasphemous have children by them, as mentioned in my document on Genesis Chapter 6? This is how spiritually dangerous myths like Lilith are! Lilith was supposed to have been rejected by Adam because she tried to assert her equality. Eve was supposed to have been her replacement, and so it is said that Lilith gets revenge by using men, and stealing their children. There is also a version of the Lilith spirit called ‘Lamia’, and in this myth she is referred to as the ‘serpent woman’; Lamia’s name is listed in your dictionary’s thesaurus under ‘demon’. This is all just a myth, but the deceiving evil spirits that influenced this myth, and many others, are the same evil unclean spirits that are in the world today. Myths are powerful tools used by Satan to draw people into an evil spiritual realm. People are being drawn to Lilith Fairs and many do not realize the evil she represents. Check the ‘Lilith Fair’ website and see how Lilith Fairs draw so many people. Also check the internet under ‘vampire Lilith’ and you will find that she is a popular children’s comic book character! But beware there are many really bad websites linked to Lilith! Many Lilith fair performers are popular worldwide. Invited to sing many may not be aware of what they are actually representing when they sing at these fairs.
The evil spirits behind the Lilith myth are the same evil spirits that are behind abortion, the feminist movement, witchcraft, the succubi and incubi spirits, homosexuality, and lady angels. In fact, these evil unclean spirits are the inspiration behind all the naked and so-called ‘holy’ imagery being reverenced by many of God’s people today.
Evil unclean spirits are also the inspiration for many movies, videos, computer games, and books that are popular today. The movies, videos, games, and books were made up from someone’s imagination, and what do you think inspired them? Just as with mythology; many of the movies, games, books, and videos considered popular today are being inspired by evil seducing spirits. Created from someone’s imagination, what do you think is inspiring them? Children and adults alike are being entertained by evil spirits and generally do not even know it. And we wonder why we are having so much trouble in the world today. Many parents are even putting their children on medication because their children are having problems with concentration and confusion. Yet, we continually allow our children to put things that have been inspired by evil spirits into their mind through their eyes and ears. Many people, including Christians, are deceived into thinking it is alright to watch, play, or read things that are myths. The problem is although the things they are watching may not be real the evil spirits that inspired them are very real. Our children will not be able to discern what is real and what is not if we keep letting them put Satan’s garbage in their head. No wonder people, young and old alike, are having trouble concentrating. People are consistently allowing fantasy pictures and messages into their mind. Not knowing that these fantasy pictures are actually being influenced by evil spirits. Many of these people who are being influenced are Christians!
Many Parents think it is good for their child to use their imagination so they think it is alright and even encourage their children to watch, read, or play with these things. However, their children are not using their own imaginations they are using the imaginations of other people that are inspired and led by evil spirits. The children are being introduced to an evil spiritual realm. Now they are seeing, thinking, and doing things they would have never thought of, or done, otherwise. Note: This evil deception also includes books and movies by so-called Christian authors who try to bring the aspect of science fiction and horror into their writing as a means of describing evil spirits. See my document on ‘Christian mythology’.
Many parents even allow, or encourage, their children to talk to imaginary friends not realizing they may actually be encouraging them to converse with an evil spirit – a familiar spirit. When the child outgrows this familiar spirit and wants it to leave them alone, it will not go. Only applying the blood of Jesus Christ through prayer and speaking God’s Word will make it leave. After all it was at first welcomed and encouraged! Because we, as parents, are not teaching our children what is right and what is wrong their reality is being distorted. Videos, movies, books, and virtual reality games are enhancing a level of imagination in our children that they could not reach on their own; and our children are even starting to act the things out.
Consider movies, books, and video games with demonic characters with names such as the vampire and werewolf; both listed under ‘demon’ in the thesaurus. Many people think this is purely fiction because they have no knowledge of what is actually inspiring these writers. In a vampire movie for example, blood and sexual contact is combined – the affect is the same as what transpires in an actual witchcraft ritual. Vampire cults exist today and many of those members do participate in blood drinking. Many also have their real teeth sharpened or special dentures made for their ritual gatherings. Sexual rituals, along with blood drinking, are very much a part of their cult gatherings. Vampirism is a virtual nesting ground for the Lilith/succubus spirit, yet many people consider vampire movies and books to be entertaining. Leviticus 17:10, 14: And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. You must see that God would not want Christians watching or playing things that contain evil content – and falsely calling it entertainment. Be assured it is not entertaining to God!
There are all sorts of cults today involved in all types of black and white magic, who practice sexual or blood pacts as part of their rituals and initiations – and Satan’s evil spirits are the influence behind all of it. Evil spirits influencing these Satanic rituals are the same evil spirits influencing the imaginations of writers who write evil books and movies. When you watch any movie that mixes blood and sex you are dangerously inviting a succubi or incubi spirit into your presence, mind and body, and into your home. A lot of the heavy metal music has an occult theme and is usually combined with sexual content. This too is influenced by the evil ‘succubi’ and ‘incubi’ spirits found in Satanic worship. Some music groups (like “Incubus” and “Bitter Suites to Succubi”) even name themselves or their music after these evil and sexual spirits, but like some who write movies or books with an occultic theme, many who write music lyrics may not actually realize that evil spirits are inspiring them. Some have even said they were asleep and the words just came to them. Any person who listens to, writes, or sings occult styles of music (or anyone who watches things having an occult theme) is opening them self up spiritually to the Satanic realm – where Satan and his evil spirits can use them as a spiritual channel, placing evil seducing lyrics or thoughts into their mind. Isn’t it interesting to note that television and radio have what are referred to as channels! Most of the time people who write books, movies, and musical lyrics do not even know they are being inspired by evil spirits. However, there are some people who know exactly what they are doing – because they are actively involved in the occult and are operating as Satan’s missionaries, trying to draw people (including our children) into witchcraft and into Satan worship!
Many people who listen to occult styles of music, or who view occult movies, books, and video games often experience the sensation of being held down while they sleep. They may try to wake up but cannot. They cannot move or talk. Eventually when they do wake up they find that their body has gone through the physical manifestation, or arousal, of a sexual act. Many times after these sexual encounters they feel as if they just had intercourse and realize that no other person participated – but it was an evil spirit (incubi or succubi). Some people have even experienced extreme pain in their private area after these evil visitations. They felt as if they were dreaming, while at the same time it still did not feel like a dream. This is part of Satan’s evil deception to make it appear as if it were only a dream. Those who have experienced this type of evil deception recognize that, although it seemed like a dream, it also seemed very real – and though no other person was present at the time every personal physical reaction was felt. Sometimes the person’s experience of being held down is not a sexual experience at all, but a terrifying one. While in terror they are unable to wake up – or sometimes they may think they are awake only to find they are still asleep and that an evil presence is with them, tormenting them. When they do finally awake they are in such extreme fear they cannot go back to sleep. Some Christians too are oppressed by these terrifying evil spirits, and are being held down or attacked sexually in their sleep. By watching, reading, or listening to things inspired by evil spirits these Christians have allowed unclean spiritual doorways to be opened in their home, mind, will, and emotions (soul) and the ‘incubi’ and ‘succubi’ spirits (and other evil spirits) are attacking their soul and flesh through lust. I Peter 2:11: Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul. Lust does affect a person’s soul. The Hebrew word for ‘soul’ in the Old Testament is “nephesh, neh’-fesh; …sense… appetite… breath… desire… greedy… heart… life… lust… mind… pleasure… will”. The Greek word for ‘soul’ in the New Testament is “psuche, psoo-khay’; …breath… heart… mind”. The Greek terms “exactly correspond respectively” to the Hebrew.
If you are a Christian and you are not watching, listening to, or reading things with evil or sexual content but are still experiencing evil or sexual attack it could mean that you are being visited with the iniquity of your forefathers; due to the spiritually unclean items you may have in your home. Or perhaps you have participated in Yoga, acupressure or acupuncture, or certain massage therapy techniques, without realizing the connection these practices have with false religion and with the evil spirits behind false religion. See my document on ‘acupuncture and acupressure’; also see my document on yoga. As a Christian you can remove all access given to these evil unclean spirits through prayer and repentance. A suggested list of items to remove and prayers of repentance can be found in a separate document. Deuteronomy 7:26: Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shall utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Joshua 6:18: And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing lest ye make yourselves accursed when ye take of the accursed thing and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. Deuteronomy 23:14: For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. II Corinthians 6:17: Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
God promises his people sleep and peace but we must stand on the wisdom of God’s Word, and obey it – then we can daily experience God’s peace and freedom. Psalm 91:5: Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day. Proverbs 3:24: When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Whether a person actually participates in the occult (i.e. vampirism, witchcraft, etc.) or just watches it on television, the evil influence is the same – and this evil influence is spiritually damaging to the Christians who watch it. The Lilith spirit, for example, is believed by some who worship her to also be the daughter of the vampire. What about the television program “The Munster’s”? Have you ever wondered why grandpa who was a vampire on the show had a daughter named ‘Lily’? Again, any person having the name ‘Lilith’, ‘Lily’, or ‘Lili’, does not mean that they, or their name is evil. This teaching refers only to the ‘Lilith’ directly connected to the Jewish myth, or to vampirism [another of Lilith’s personas], and is no reflection on a person’s given name. You may think it is just a coincidence that the writers of “The Munster’s” used this particular name but even if they did not realize it, the inspiration behind the use of that name was evil. You may have thought the show was only entertainment, but the inspiration behind the show is evil in meaning and appearance. The Bible tells us to “abstain from all appearance of evil”! I Thessalonians 5:22: Abstain from all appearance of evil. In the Thesaurus under ‘demons’ it places both the Vampire and Frankenstein in the same category as the succubi and incubi spirits. In the generation of the 60’s and 70’s when shows like the Munster’s and Bewitched came out people just thought it was only harmless entertainment, saying they knew it was not real – or was it? Even the show ‘Bewitched’ promoted Wicca, or white witchcraft, which is a very popular and growing religion in these last days. Yes, believe it or not Wicca is now a legally recognized religion! God forbid. Like the Munster’s, the writers of Bewitched may not have realized they were writing under the inspiration of evil spirits, but scripture reveals that Satan was behind this show also. Today Bewitched has seen a revival in the movie theatres! Acts 8:9, 11: But there was a certain man called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one. I Samuel 28:7 even tells us that Saul went to seek a woman having a familiar spirit (a witch), and it eventually cost him his life. I Samuel 28:7: Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor. I Chronicles 10:13: So Saul dies for his transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse. Note: The Hebrew word for ‘spirit’ in I Samuel 28:7 and I Chronicles 10:13 is “owb, obe; …a mumble …skin (from its hollow sound); hence, a necromancer (ventriloquist, as speaking from a jar)… bottle… familiar spirit”. Owb, obe is also the same Hebrew word for ‘spirit’ in Isaiah 29:4: And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust. (Isaiah 29:4 accurately describes the voice of ventriloquism!)
Scripture in I Samuel 28:7 tells us the name of the place, Endor, where she (the one having a familiar spirit) was found. I Samuel 28:7: Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor. What was Samantha’s mother’s name on the show Bewitched? Her name was Endora and she was portrayed as a witch! Although the writers may not have been aware of this you can be assured that Satan was. Scripture also proves that the name of the show Bewitched was inspired by evil spirits. Acts 8:9, 11: But there was a certain man called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one. And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. Galatians 3:1: O’ foolish Galatians who hath bewitched you that he should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you. The Greek word ‘bewitched’ in Acts 8:9, 11 is “existemi, ex-is’-tay-mee; …out of wits… insane… be beside self (selves)”. The Greek word ‘bewitched’ in Galatians 3:1 is “baskaino, bas-kah’-ee-no; …to malign” [which means to cause harm or pain]… “to fascinate (by false representations)”. Notice also that the name Samantha sounds strikingly similar to the place the people were at in Acts 8:9 – which was Samaria.
Scripture strictly forbids us to have anything to do with witchcraft; yet, we watch it and try to believe we are not participating in witchcraft. Deuteronomy 18:9-12: When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, and 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. Leviticus 19:31: Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 20:6, 27: 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. A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them. Isaiah 8:19: And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead. Isaiah 8:19 New Living Translation reads: So why are you trying to find out the future by consulting mediums and psychics? Do not listen to their whisperings and mutterings. Can the living find out the future from the dead? Why not ask your God? Isaiah 19:3: And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to wizards. Jeremiah 27:9: Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers… I John 4:1-3: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. The same evil spirits that are behind the show Bewitched, and other shows like it, are seducing our mind – just by our own willingness to watch these shows.
Satan is leading us and our children astray, yet we call it entertainment! Psalm 101:3: I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. By allowing our children to look at, and participate in, evil seducing entertainment we are passing our children through the evil spiritual fire. Ezekiel 18:10: 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. Was our generation just a steppingstone for the immense popularity of witchcraft today? The answer is yes! Just look in a Thesaurus under demons and you will find that most of the names listed are our children’s favorite cartoon characters. The evil spirit Lilith, which is a sexual spirit, is also listed in the dictionary thesaurus under demon as ‘Lamia’ another of Lilith’s personas.
