A podcaster and Bible teacher recently exhorted Christians to be aware of the occultic spiritual practices of Black Lives Matter (BLM) and to practice discernment instead of linking arms with the organization.
“When the apostle Paul said that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against spiritual wickedness, this is what he was talking about,” said Abraham Hamilton II during his Aug. 19 “Hamilton Corner” broadcast entitled “The BLM Connection to Witchcraft.”
He played segments of a Zoom discussion between BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors and Los Angeles chapter co-founder Melina Abdullah to provide evidence of the group’s communication with the dead in their very own words.
“Maybe I’m sharing too much, but we become very intimate with the spirits that we call on regularly,” Abdullah said at one point during the interview. “Each of them seems to have a different presence and personality. I laugh a lot with Waukesha [Wilson] (who was found dead in a Los Angeles jail cell in 2017). And I didn’t meet her in her body, right, I met her through this work.”
Hamilton also noted that Cullors and Abdullah talked about summoning the spirits of the dead to work though them and accomplish their purposes, a practice in the Yoruba religion Odu Ifa.
“Hashtags are for us way more than a hashtag,” Cullors said. “It is literally almost resurrecting the spirit so they can work through us to get the work … done. I started to feel personally connected and responsible and accountable to them both from a deeply political place, but also from a deeply spiritual place.”
“In my tradition, you offer things that your loved one who passed away would want, whether it’s honey or tobacco or things like that,” she continued, referring to the creation of an “ancestor altar,” which is sometimes practiced in African cultures. “It’s so important, not just for us to be in direct relationship to our people who’ve passed but also for them to know we’ve remembered them. I believe so many of them work through us.”
Adullah talked about pouring out libation at the place where the African American person lost their life. Libation is an act that is defined as “a ritual pouring of a liquid as an offering to a god or spirit, or in memory of those who have ‘passed on.’”
“In case you don’t know it yet, they’re not talking about the Holy Spirit. They’re talking about channeling the powers of the ancestors, that it is the spirituality that enables them and empowers them to do this ‘justice work,'” Hamilton outlined.
He said that, consequently, the burgeoning “say their name” practice may not be as innocent as some think.
“They’re not doing what you think they’re doing. You think they’re just honoring people. They are conjuring up spirits,” Hamilton lamented. “These people really believe that the names of the folks that they’re saying have become ancestral gods that they are summoning when they require the attendees at these marches and these rallies to say their name.”
He pointed to Deuteronomy 18:9-12, which prohibits communication with the dead.
“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 … 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,” the Scripture states.
“We have churches that are putting up BLM banners in their churches. And I’m saying, ‘Lord, where’s the discernment?'” he lamented. “We have got to evaluate everything through the word of God.”
Hamilton said that while racism may be an issue that needs to be addressed, the ways of BLM are not the righteous means to accomplish it. “None of this is to say that there aren’t situations that exist where we need to grow in our demonstration and in our internalization of our love for our neighbors,” he stated. “But we don’t need to adopt some pagan spirituality Marxist organizational rhetoric to do it. We don’t need wicked help to obey God.”
As previously reported, an article published by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs explained that “The Fight for Black Lives Is a Spiritual Movement.”
“The movement for Black lives … infuses a syncretic blend of African and indigenous cultures’ spiritual practices and beliefs, embracing ancestor worship; Ifa-based ritual such as chanting, dancing, and summoning deities; and healing practices such as acupuncture, reiki, therapeutic massage, and plant medicine in much of its work, including protest,” the article states in part.
I congratulate you on your work, and I too am your brother in Christ, the Redeemer of all who believe in Him.
But when I first heard the Beatitudes, I was a ten year old kid. When it said, “Blessed are the peacemakers” I thought,
“Wow! Colt .45 Peacemaker six-shooters in Scripture!”
(couldn’t resist)
Seriously, there are demonic forces confronting us in the possessed flesh of BLM/Antifa. Nothing else explains their evil acts.
Jesus cast out demons from living men. What happens when a demon possessed human is killed? This is a real question.
The shooting hasn’t started yet.
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.
“Republicanine?”
My GSD is too goofy to be political.
You don’t think that ignorance, brainwashing, and mental/emotional derangement explains things?
I could tell you a horrifying story of what happened to the librarian in my high school, a barely secret ‘witch’.
That’s old and trite.
When ‘the devil’ actually bothers me, I’ll get back to you. I’ve never had a problem with the old, imaginary fake.
My Dobermans can somehow sense liberals.
Crazy but true.
The boy, especially, loves everyone but he went berserker when he sensed liberals in the area when we went to see the Trump bus.
*Never* saw that dog act that way, before.
You can’t ignore it. You can pretend you’re ignoring it, but it’s still there waiting to take hold of whoever is gullible enough to think it doesn’t exist. Or you can fight it.
I would highly recommend to you & anybody you love that you & they avoid everybody dabbling in such evil practices.
Ephesians 6:12-13
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
I’ve seen a few folks come to a bad end who did the natural magic thing.
He can and will if you ask Him to.
The horrifying aspect of it is that most people believe it’s ‘innocent’.
I’ll let you wallow in it. I’m not interested.
(It seems to me that creating, and fostering, a belief in nebulous dark forces that are out there to GET you, seems like a great ‘control system’.)
I think the important thing we need to know is that the spirit of the antichrist is running the left, their demon-crat politicians and the globalists (Soros,Gates, Fauci,Obama, the Chinese, the pope etc). They are actively engaged in insurrection to destroy America and rule the world.
The only way to stop it right now is to pray, hope that Trump wins and root out fraudulence in voting.
Otherwise, there will be civil war.
The satanic spirit of the antichrist will give these people power through their various demonic religious practices, but not enough to stop God’s will.
If God wills it, Trump will win regardless. Just like in 2016 and that drove Hillary into a psychotic break because according too everything she knew-such as voting fraud, leftist polls, etc. she was a sure winner. When it didn’t happen she knew “some other entity” had intervened. She could not handle that and flew into a rage. The spirit of the antichrist in her and the left had been defeated. They have never accepted this and have never recovered from it, That is why they hate Trump, but it is really God’s will that they hate.
Don't get me wrong; I walk without fear. It's just that I don't need complications in my life.
Yes that’s what I’ve noticed too.
Folks who do a “simple palm reading” get more than they ever bargained for when that door opens.
Dogs have a way of sensing bad actors. Can’t tell me they don’t.
I don’t know what it is, but they can do it.
To get all hipster doofus about it, maybe their innocence makes them sensitive to evil. Or maybe they can read hostile body language.
My one experience with an ‘authentic’ gypsy palm reader was hilarious.
(Don’t wear any jewelry when you go. They are experts at getting it off of you - and you seem like the perfect mark.)
Hers was as bad as it gets.
Check your mail.
Very true!
God will determine who runs the show, regardless of what the demonic hordes wish for.
With Prophecy playing out right before our eyes daily now, it’s hard to not see how this election will go and the aftermath will play out.
Maybe, I have an old friend who did that, she’s had man problems, but she’s always had man problems. The ones who seem to be at risk that I have seen are the ones who give offered items as a means to seal a magical contract. The contract with “other gods or powers” seems to be where the problems crop up. I haven’t seen the same thing with garden variety woo.
We’re talking about DemocRATS here. RATS being involved in Satanic rituals doesn’t surprise me even a little bit.
