I can not believe the things of the devil that exist to the magnitude that they do and so many people are so unaware of it. Maybe you're aware of it but don't realize its demonic, maybe you know its “evil” but you just don't think its a big deal. We watch movies and tv shows like Paranormal Activity and Once Upon A Time. We play games like Magic: The Gathering or read Harry Potter books. Maybe you don't watch this but you allow your children to watch it because “its JUST for fun, its JUST a movie, its JUST a book, its JUST a game”. I wrote an entire post of what we see here in the spirit realm titled Peek into my window: Witchcraft in Africa, and I simply could not post it. I do not want to just write an entire blog about the demonic realm in Africa, I could blog for days about sacrifices and cultural rituals, or about how people pay fortunes to hang plants in the homes in hopes of healing. All of these things are true, yes EVERYONE here practices or has practiced witchcraft, and EVERYONE here believes in spirits. Instead I want to discuss a few things that I have realized over the past 5 years or so and have been made more real since I have called Africa my home. Why is it that the people of Africa encounter the spirit realm more? Be it light or darkness? I believe that we as westerners have been desensitized to the spirit realm. I love red box don't get me wrong- but when I go there I cant help but notice ALL of the gazillion horror films. As we watch these movies for pleasure we blatantly go against the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 13:6 Says Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. If we believe that God is Love then we should read this as God does not delight in evil and if God is in us and we in Him then we should not delight in it either. Delight: n. joy; happiness, something that gives great joy. Pleasure: n. a cause or source of enjoyment or delight Habakkuk 1:13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on wickedness Behold: v. To observe; look at; see This is just two scriptures talking about looking upon and finding joy and pleasure in evil things. I have never read the Harry Potters series but I have read many articles about it and its relationship to the occult, you can research these articles on your own, if you are not aware of the relationship to the occult and demonic realm and you read these or allow your children to, I would suggest researching it, one thing I found important in the articles was the use of spells in the books and how they are actual spells and the names of some of the characters are actual demons that the occult summon. My point in mentioning books is that we read stories about witches and wizards and think its just a fantasy world, well I am here to tell you that it is not a fantasy world and we encounter these people here in Africa, its not made up and it is in the western world as well. Books and “fiction” have warped our view on reality. There is a game out called Magic: The Gathering, I know MANY people who play this game so I decided to research it and of course there is quite a bit f controversy out there from christians whether or not it should be played by believers. Some have a strong NO and some have a more justified approach that “its just a game” and that there are “good spirit” cards too. Basically there are different color cards that do different functions, wizards, spells blah blah blah. I am not going to get into how to play it and all the reasons that its definitely demonic not to mention a great way for open doors to your spirit, but I will say that in my bible it says in Galatians 5 that sorcery is a work of the flesh, -you can also put “lust of the flesh” which is why so many people have a desire for darkness. Sorcery: n. The art, practices, or spells of magic, black magic, witchcraft, powers granted by evil spirits Again I said that I believe that we have become desensitized to the spirit realm because we allow so much darkness into our lives for the pleasures of our flesh. If we looked at these things through the eyes that Habakkuk mentioned that we ALREADY HAVE because we are a child of God then we would guard our lives from darkness. Are you aware of they enemy’s tactics in keeping the western world in darkness or are their areas where you need revelation? What do you thin that it would take for you to become aware of the tactics of enemy in this area? These are just some things that I have been think about lately since we deal with so many demonized people here in Africa. Please if you want leave some feed back I would love to hear what you have to say or discuss any topic further. I just wanted to share what I have had on my mind, especially as America is going into the Halloween season and my facebook, pinterest and instagram, social networks are being infiltrated with, goblins, ghosts and zombies, it has me wondering. Love you all and hope you are all enjoying some delicious pumpkin lattes, and beautiful fall colors. Blessings Tawnya
