Pondering out loud.
Hm. An excerpt, dated 1971, long before the internet:
” . . . For several months, we have taken three and four carloads of young people from the Bible class to particpate in the Saturday night servieces at Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago. One Saturday night I was left at the mission awaiting my song leader, who had driven someone home. I was witnessing to some servicemen in the Servicemen’s Center and about 1:30a.m. a young witch walked in. The Holy Spirit worked with me in a strange way, revealing to me details of her life and witchcrafrt. She was involved in some of the most depraved aspects of Satan worship, including the sacrifice of living infants at black masses. She wore a werewolf-head ring invested with strange occult powers. As I witnessed to her about the Lord Jesus, I was able to tell her that I thoroughly understood the darkness in which she was involved.
She tried to look at me, but kept dropping her eyes. Finally she gasped, “You really do know, don’t you? But you couldn’t know, only a select few know. But you do; you really do know!” She grew nervous and agitated at the knowledge God had given me and was thoroughly upset as she left. . . .”

Ah. I just noticed your tag. Yes. Indeed.
2 Chron 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
There is much Christians can do, and incredible weapons the Lord Jesus left us that we can wield, but the adversary does all he can to keep us ignorant of them.
