Are Black Lives Matter leaders calling on the spirits of the dead?
Christian Post ^ | 09/03/2020 | Michael Brown

Is it true that leaders of the BLM movement, including one of the co-founders, are calling on the spirits of the dead? That they claim to receive spiritual power from the deceased? That they talk with these spirits and even give them names? The answer to all these questions is yes. This is now an open secret.

Lest you think that this type of “spirituality” is exceedingly rare, I remind you that in October, 2019, the New York Times ran a story titled, “When Did Everybody Become a Witch?” The article claimed that, “We have reached peak witch,” noting that, “Real witches are roaming among us, and they’re seemingly everywhere.”

Yes, “Witches are influencers who use the hashtag #witchesofinstagram to share horoscopes, spells and witchy memes, and they are anti-Trump resistance activists carrying signs that say “Hex the Patriarchy” (also the title of a new book of spells) and “We are the granddaughters of the witches you weren’t able to burn.”

I documented this phenomenon in my book, Jezebel’s War with America, also arguing that many of the major trends in our society could be traced back to this “Jezebelic” spirit. These include the rise of pornography; the shout your abortion movement; radical feminism; the emasculating of men; the war on gender; the rise of witchcraft and sorcery; and the silencing of the prophetic voice of the church.

With the rise of the BLM movement, we have further evidence of this Jezebelic influence, as the co-founders are all radical feminists, with two of the three identifying as queer. (Please note that I use the initials BLM to distinguish this Marxist-based movement from the important affirmation that black lives do matter.)

We can now trace this demonic influence one step further, with the open, unapologetic statements of two key BLM leaders. I’m speaking about BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors and Prof. Melina Abdullah, chair of the department of Pan-African Studies at California State University, Los Angeles, and a co-founder of the Los Angeles chapter of Black Lives Matter.

Their relevant video discussion on Facebook was posted on June 13. But even before that, on June 9, Heba Farrag posted an article on the Berkeley Center website titled, “The Fight for Black Lives is a Spiritual Movement.”

Farrag explained how Prof. Abdullah met with a BLM group in front of the house of Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti: “She led the group in a ritual: the reciting of names of those taken by state violence before their time — ancestors now being called back to animate their own justice:

“‘George Floyd. Asé. Philandro Castille. Asé. Andrew Joseph. Asé. Michael Brown. Asé. Erika Garner. Asé. Harriet Tubman. Asé. Malcom X. Asé. Martin Luther King. Asé.’

“As each name is recited, Dr. Abdullah poured libations on the ground as the group of over 100 chanted ‘Asé,’ a Yoruba term often used by practitioners of Ifa, a faith and divination system that originated in West Africa, in return. This ritual, Dr. Abdullah explained, is a form of worship.”

Yes, this helps fuel the fires of the BLM movement: worship of the dead; calling on the dead; asking the spirits of the dead to empower the living today.

Abdullah and Cullors discussed this openly on their Facebook video, which Abraham Hamilton, III, brought to national attention on his daily radio show on August 13, playing relevant clips, in context.

In the video, Prof. Abdullah stated that “we become very intimate with the spirits that we call on regularly. Right, like, each of them seems to have a different presence and personality. You know, I laugh a lot with Wakisha, you know, and I didn’t meet her in her body. Right, I met her through this work.”

Yes, the spirits of the dead even have names, like Wakisha, with whom Abdullah exchanges some laughs.

Cullors, in response, explained how she has been empowered by these spirits and how the mantra to “say his (or, her) name” was more than a slogan. It was an appeal to the spirits of the deceased to rise up and work through her and others.

As summed up by Cullors, “The fight to save your life is a spiritual fight.”

Of course, she is entirely right. The battles we fight in our society are, ultimately, spiritual battles. But victory is found, not in calling on the spirits of the dead but in calling on the Spirit of the living God.

As we have been emphasizing for months now, one is from below; the other is from above. One brings death, the other brings life.

Let the reader be aware. Fully aware. Calling on the spirits of the dead is a practice you want to avoid at all costs – for your own soul’s sake.


Dr. Michael Brown (www.askdrbrown.org) is the host of the nationally syndicated Line of Fire radio program. His latest book is Evangelicals at the Crossroads: Will We Pass the Trump Test?

He holds a Ph.D. in Near Eastern Languages and Literatures from New York University and has served as a professor at a number of seminaries.

I don’t know about spirits but those guys will definitely be voting - probably in about 20 states.

They might be calling on spirits, but it’s not the dead that are answering.

Wow. African Traditional Religion (ATR). Because it has worked so well in enlightening Africans.

On a side note, there is a STRONG argument that ATR is the reason for slavery because of their lack of cultural advancement, when compared to whites, was interpreted as the Genesis 4 curse in Old World Christian theology: the mark of Cain was read to be “blacks” and were to serve whites forever.

Of course they are calling upon the spirits of the dead so they can rise and vote for Biden/Harris. Democrats and leftists have raised more people from the dead than my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Kanye is trying to tap into this and turn it into the best of everyone Movement. His song Kids see Ghosts is very telling. Kanye is taking the best of leaders to channel through him. Earl Little, Marcus Garvey, MLK, Malcolm X and others.Kanye is on a personal mission and hopefully it will be helpful.

Genuine question: I've never understood why Jezebel has become associated with seduction and harlotry. She was a faithful wife who is not recorded as being involved with other men. I get that she introduced the worship of other gods and goddesses into Israel etc, but there's nothing about unfaithfulness or sex.

Why has the term 'Jezebel' come to mean an unfaithful, sexual woman? She put on her makeup as an act of defiance at the end, as she knew here death was coming.

Yep...sounds like necromancy to me. Expressly forbidden in the Bible (Deut. 18:10-12).
Remember that King Saul sought the spirit of the long-dead Samuel. Didn’t turn out quite the way Saul intended, did it (1 Chron. 10:13)?

We need to be casting out demons in the name of Christ on our streets and at these coven rituals.

Evil dont care about sides it just loves destroying things. While it may seem like it is working for them (at times) it will only come back to destroy them. Like voting Democrat!

Could it simply be a marketing tool, in response to inner-city black churches supporting Trump?

This Jezebel things sounds like xian nationalism.
“Either Americans are xian, and good, or Americans believe something else, and are bad. No matter what they have right in their lives, it is this or that.”
