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.
Wish I was wrong.

Elcid, we know that in Matthew 12:43 reads:
“When an evil spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.”
Also in another place, Paul speaks of demons returning to the same human after having been cast out… he makes the point it would have been better for that human never to have those demons cast out in the first place… Because they come back seven times as strong.
Evil spirits/demons/fallen angels have been here since the world began… And they will be on earth right up until the last day… I think it’s safe to assume that if a human dies that had been possessed by an evil spirit/demon/fallen angel when that human dies the angel simply goes looking for another target… Someone who does not know Jesus Christ… Someone who is open and ready to accept that kind of evil power.
Believers in Jesus Christ cannot be “possessed” by evil spirits… We Can be and are, every day, subject to Constant oppression by them… It’s called spiritual warfare… We are called not to be ignorant of the devil’s devices… To be aware.
But I thank God through Jesus Christ the victory is ours!!
Demonology is a fascinating theological study… But know this, demons don’t waste their time on “Christians” who are not a threat to their kingdom… They concentrate on believers who are in active warfare against them..... Born again believers we’re doing battle for souls
Whether that is good news or bad news depends on how a ‘last days Christian” views salvation.
Blessings to you always.
Time to turn in...
Thankyou for posting this REvelationDavid.
I have felt much like Salamander, at the bottom.
I’ve been crying out to God for strength along with Trust and hope.
Satan is causing many believers right now to be fearful. I am sure it is due to us not staying in God’s Word.
I’ve been asking our Heavenly Father to infuse me with His Power and Trust.
Polly.
God Bless You.
What bothers me the most is that so very many are unable to discern and not recognize the Evil which is all around us. It’s as if they are under some kind of spell, which they are.
FWIW, every time I open my mouth about this stuff, my life gets worse.
I worry I’m oppressed.
Can’t imagine me being a “threat” to the devil.
:-\
“Satan is causing many believers right now to be fearful. I am sure it is due to us not staying in God’s Word.”
Oh, I don’t know. Satan is pretty scary.
I see it every day.
In many people, some of whom I consider bright and aware, normally.
Sometimes I feel I like standing in the grocery store and screaming WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR BRAINS?!? but I don’t.
They’re sleepers.
They’re the walking dead.
They’re the placid and oblivious sheep.
I often feel like I’m awake in some madman’s fever dream.
This can’t be happening.
But it is.
And it’s extremely hard to deal with.
FWIW, I’m with you.
I pray for the same things.
I did a ceremony at home one night recommended by a friend. As I began, a heavy object fell off the windowsill and broke the glass top of my favorite table into a million pieces.
End of that junk for me.
....lol....:)
Remember that the greatest trick of Satan is getting people to believe he doesn’t even exist!
.... When you talk about him…(for the sake of the kingdom of God) It annoys him and he will begin to oppress…
.... The oppression by the powers of darkness is a constant and abiding reality for overcoming believers… Remember the old saying “you take the most flack when you’re over the target”
Of to bed
Well, yikes.
:D
Good night and thank you!!!
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...and we have a Heavenly Father that hears and provides ALL our needs. Hallelujah. Truth is we need to pray for each other. Thank you Salamander
Always… Always… Always remember the following verse…
Write it down, memorize it… And doing so you will tattoo it on your heart… this versus true yesterday, it’s true today, it’s true right now!… ....And it will be true for all your tomorrows… Memorize it!!!
“”1 John 4:4
New King James Version
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.””
NOw....go read the whole chapter.....and rejoyce!...;)
I will mail you a prophecy from Jan,. 2019 which tells how things are going to transpire. It makes sense. Just let me know.
So many new age Christian’s out there embracing BLm, ridiculous
There are two huge prayer events going on in DC this weekend. Planned months ago. God knew the number of days RGB had long before Franklin Graham and Anne Graham Lotz and other planners knew and planned these events. But how wonderful this is happening when Trump will pick the SC appointment. We can cover all of these in prayer. There is a great battle going on in the heavens.

Please be praying!
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
New King James Version
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ...
Imagine if a psychiatrist conjured up the insane to delve in their mental illness as a power to torment others.
This is prostitution to the dead, and the dead are completely foreign to the living. There is a parallel reason the people for open border with devil possessed islamics want open borders with dangerous spiritualities
In plain language the basis for this is necromancy, raising the spirits of the dead by sorcery. The Bible is very blunt about those who practice this forbidden art:
Leviticus 20:27 ESV
“A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them.”
Revelation 21:8 ESV /
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
One of this pair of miscreants has a Muzzy name. The ‘Holy Koran’ calls divination and necromancy an abomination and proscribes death to sorcerers and those who consult them.
Yep. It is how Al Qaeda recruited. They captured people using Abu Musab as Suri method.
They can capture back to islam atheistic 3rd generations completely disconnected and integrated to secuar society by invoking their Djinn ancestors. The kid in a matter of 30 min will completely flip over and find it as an answer or ancestor he longed for.
Scary stuff.
We all have spiritual ancestry. Only Christ can discipline it for us.
