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.
Please do. It is Saturday after a long week.
Yes, Supression/repression unfortunately can make it worse. Women especially are prone to hysteria where the inherent nature of sex comes all of a sudden bursting out through artificial religious barriers they only learned by rote.

Yes boxlunch,
I am aware of the prayer event with Franklin Graham and have scheduled to pray/online with that event.
Did not know about the ifapray.org, although I am very familiar with that organization.
Thank you.
Wow. That’s a presumptuous mouthful.
(Where did you get your doctorate, and how long ago?)
I know one thing, whatever they are, conjuring up demonic spirits will end very, very, very badly for them. /Captain Obvious
Complete insanity and antichrist behavior.
Fits right in with the Democratic Party since 2008 especially.
“You don’t think that ignorance, brainwashing, and mental/emotional derangement explains things?”
Yes, absolutely they do. It’s just that I’ve believed all my life that God didn’t make me very intelligent, and that most others have accomplished far more than I.
How then, are these smarter people now commanding vast forces to force evil things upon the rest of us?
Maybe intelligence doesn’t explain it. Maybe the force of pure satanic evil does.
Speaking of David Wilkerson, Nicky Cruz spoke at The Return last night and what a powerful speech.

They look for a new host just like the Gadarene demoniac and the pigs. Even though they man didn’t die, they had to leave him and so went somewhere else.
God takes it seriously enough.
Jesus certainly kept busy dealing with demons that you claim aren’t real.
Unless you are claiming that He was wrong or that you know more than Him.
Is God lying in Scripture about the demonic and the devil?
Still posing?
You are absolutely right...they are all around us.
In 1901, under guidance of Otto Weininger.
Yes, it is true:
Are Black Lives Matter leaders calling on the spirits of the dead?

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.

BLM leaders are like a mixture of Hatian Voodoo and Marxism. Deep Dark Evil.
I’ll hazard a guess. They go straight to Hell. I don’t believe a true Christian can be demon possessed. They may be oppressed, but not possessed. I also do not believe a true Christian can be taken against his will, in a so called “alien abduction.” I don’t believe these are aliens at all, but fallen angels, trying to make more Nephilim. 😁🤪🤗👍
I saw Nicky Cruz speak in person, in Del Rio, Texas, in 1974. 😁 I was active duty Air Force at the time. 👍😁
Amen.
