>>Look I know one kid who grew up on harry potter.<<
You know one kid. You know he read a series of books. There are many other factors in on that but it’s much easier to blame it on a book, because then we think we know what to avoid. And honestly if he tells you that he likes demons, it’s not from Harry Potter. No demons in it at all, just a bad human who chose evil. No amount of capital letters make that any different. Facts are very real.
My Goddaughter was born in 1989. She read the first of these books when she was 11. She attended Catholic school for 12 years and then went to Colunbia. She went to the Vatican and studied art. She has been dating a nice young man for six years and is still a virgin. Sorry, but I’ll take her as a perfect example for my girls.
I know many kids just like her. Because of her introduction to these books, my daughters and I know many “Harry Potter people”. I don’t know a single one of them into the occult. I know tons that are into Quiddich though and that is fine exercise.
The Lord told you to be not afraid. I do know people who hide from all those scary things. Me? I’ll choose to be a warrior for Christ.
I read the books too. The first two. I do not read any more. If you bring your children up with a good foundation in Christ nothing will stop them. As long as they stay in Christ. But many more are trying the real occultic practices.
Do you see more psychic stores opening up? I did in my northern town now down here in south since being here in a year. I mean brand new ones. Look around it is all connected. You think that is good? It is danger. Wrong. Seductive evil.
Genesis 3
The Fall
1"Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
**************************************************
4 “YOU will NOT CERTAINLY die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your Eyes will be Opened, and you will be Like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves."
**********************************************
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
*** Oh the sweet whispering! What do you thinking the god of this world uses to get an edge on people. This is one of them. This whole life is a trial for real Godly wisdom until the end.
I will go by the vatican exorcist who knows the enemy better than you and me. I will be praying for us. The more I pray in Christ the more I can see the subtle ways of the enemy.
