To Explain Away Massive Military Losses, The Iranian Regime Accuses Israel Of Manipulating ‘Occult’ Forces

Iranian hardliners are claiming that the nation of Israel relied on occult practices during its recent war with Iran. Many, however, are pointing out that the Iranian regime is simply looking for a convenient scapegoat to explain why they could not withstand the military might of the Israeli armed forces.  

An Unmistakable Link: The Cultural Obsession with UFOs And The Rise Of Occultism

“The UFO waves of the 1960s were accompanied by the occult explosion – the rapid spread of witchcraft and magical practices. An interesting side effect of the flying saucer phenomenon is that many of the people attracted to the subject, people with very materialistic and pseudo-scientific outlooks, gradually drift into the study of psychic phenomenon..."

The Occult, The ‘Astral Plane,’ And Appealing To The Religion Of ‘Self’

Satan has fundamentally normalised the occult in our world today.  Even something as traditionally innocent as comic books has now been corrupted through the introduction of characters that obtain their supposed powers through occult practices.

Militaries Have Wasted Countless Millions Attempting To Use The Occult To Gain A ‘Battlefield Advantage’

Remote viewing appealed to military and intelligence officers for one simple reason – battlefield advantage. Paranormal activities like ESP, clairvoyance, remote viewing, etc., are a counterfeit of God’s work, empowered by the enemy of our souls in an attempt to deceive.  The modern interest in remote viewing reflects mankind’s persistent desire to access supernatural knowledge and power apart from God.

How God Used A Single Jewish Zionist To Immeasurably Bless Australia

In 1939, an organisation referred to as the Freeland League for Jewish Territorial Colonisation identified seven million acres in the Kimberley region in Western Australia as a potential re-settlement point for 75,000 European Jews fleeing rampant antisemitism. The scheme reportedly had widespread support from government committees, businesspeople, trade unions, and the church.  The scheme’s visionary, Dr Isaac Steinberg, even wrote that he could envision Jews "writing Jewish poetry about kangaroos and laughing kookaburras."

Falling Prey To False Prophets: ‘Channeling’ Is A Counterfeit Of Divine Revelation

As I said earlier, all occult practices are counterfeits of divine revelation, designed to convince mankind to trust wholly in them rather than God.  After all, let’s not forget Satan’s own declaration was to be like the Most High.  Therefore, he must offer counterfeits of divine revelation if he is to fool the masses into turning away from God.

Occultism Is Widespread In Our Society, Ready To Deceive Those Who Lack Biblical Discernment

Although some are militantly anti-Christian, it is now more common for occult teaching to be masked in religious tolerance, framing its message as open-minded compassionate enlightenment seeking good for humanity. If we thoughtlessly absorb “culture” into our lives, we will unknowingly absorb its burgeoning occult influence as well.

Meddling with Mediums: Despite God’s Warnings, Occultism Is Thoughtlessly Being Absorbed By Our Culture

Occultism is a powerful tool of deception, partly because it is so widespread and readily accepted in the modern day. Anyone in the habit of thoughtlessly absorbing modern culture into their lives will absorb occult influence. The cultural landscape is flooded with occult-friendly beliefs which permeate music, books, magazines, movies, and television shows.  In other words, occultism is paraded as entertainment. But it is not entertainment – it is demonic and it is dangerous. 

Drawn Into The Demonic: Mankind’s Attraction To ‘Divination’ Is Alive And Well In The Modern Era

Although many people are drawn to it, these powers are impotent before God.  Christians in particular should avoid any practice related to divination, including fortune-telling, astrology, numerology, witchcraft, palmistry (analysing the palm of a person’s hand), tarot cards, necromancy, scrying (looking into a reflective surface such as a crystal ball) and spell-casting. The spirit world is real, but not all of it is innocent.  Dark, demonic and destructive forces inhabit it, ready to deceive the unsuspecting.

The World’s Longing For Peace And Safety Will Play Right Into The Hands Of The Antichrist

On every continent and in nearly every country, leaders are holding out hope that somebody will be able to advance the cause of peace throughout the world.  Many are desperate for a resolution to the problems plaguing the world and we know that desperate and spiritually blind people often lack sufficient discernment to make good decisions.

‘Talking To God’ Through ChatGPT?: Artificial Intelligence Is Morphing Into Old-Fashioned Idolatry

People do not consider that AI is becoming an idol because it does not necessarily match the characteristics of historical idolatry – dumb idols of wood and stone that cannot speak.  That is why people are being influenced to anthropomorphise AI – it avoids the "idol" tag.  However, the broader problem which most remain blind to is that idolatry also opens the door to Babylon's whole religious system, which includes divination, sorcery, spiritism, and demonism. 

A Theological Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing: ‘Omega Point’ And The Offering Up Of A False Christ

Teilhard didn’t think of evolution in the Darwinian sense but claimed that evolution is like a light illuminating all facts about the universe and its relationship with God.  In other words, it is a rise of consciousness.  But since he also claimed that evolution needs to work in a particular direction and God is that direction, he once bizarrely claimed that: “Christ is the end-point of the evolution, even the natural evolution, of all beings; and therefore evolution is holy.”

‘The Divine Feminine’?: New Age Practices, Secular Psychiatry, And The Rejection Of Bible Truth

For those who hold to these beliefs, the Divine Feminine represents a goddess archetype, promoting self-empowerment and intuition above Biblical truth.  It is yet further evidence of what we already know – the world is blinded by the god of this age.  Many are trapped in New Age practices because they believe the light within it to be true and the wisdom conveyed by it to be practical.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

Katy Perry’s ‘Space Odyssey’ Reinforces Her Spiritual Blindness

What is very telling is the contrast between Katy’s reaction to being in space to that of astronaut Butch Wilmore.  Butch, a Christian, spoke at length about the beauty of God’s creation, marveling at how vast the universe is compared to how small a single man is.  Katy, on the other hand, made her experience all about herself.  Butch gave the glory to God.  Katy wanted the glory for herself.

Israel Accused Of ‘Green Colonialism’ For Planting Over 250M Trees Since 1948

Although this highly beneficial use of the eucalyptus tree is well documented, that hasn’t stopped antisemites from claiming that the planting of the trees is equal to a form of “green colonialism”.  According to one scholar: “Planting trees is arguably the most insidious form of Palestinian erasure, and a lot of times it appears as protected parks, forests or natural reserves. Some call this an attempt to greenwash their theft.” 

Why The Use Of Sorcery Will Be So Prevalent During The Tribulation Period

In hindsight, the boom in Spiritualism and the occult during and after World War I was a multifaceted phenomenon fueled by unparalleled violence, social upheaval, the influence of celebrities and the declining influence of Christianity.  As people turned away from God, they still wanted to be given hope for an afterlife, which Spiritualism and the occult sought to fulfill.

The Downfall Of World Leaders: Pride Is Not A Sin That God Takes Lightly

As we survey the political landscape and see world leaders rise and fall, it is so often the case that their fall is related to their own pride.  As we know from Scripture, God repeatedly addresses the issue of pride in the life of mankind, particularly when it comes to rulers. Although the majority of mankind is indifferent to their pride, God is not.

Mardi Gras Draws Ire Of Christians In Australia After Open Mockery Of Jesus

The theme for this year’s festival was “Free to Be”.  After witnessing one such moment, where a drag performer was pointing a spear at a person dressed as Jesus Christ, it is clear that some participants wanted to exercise their freedom to be blasphemous!  The question that organisers and participants need to reflect on is this: why is it only Christianity that is always mocked and attacked?

Prophecy And Preparations: Is The Hope Jews Place In A Rebuilt Temple Misplaced?

Since the Romans destroyed the Second Temple in 70AD, it has been the heartfelt desire of the Jewish people to rebuild the Temple.  This was a precedent set much earlier by Daniel while he was in exile. Daniel 9:17 reads: "Now therefore, our God, hear the prayer of Your servant, and his supplications, and for the Lord’s sake cause Your face to shine on Your sanctuary, which is desolate."

Israel, Take Heart — God Will Judge Your Enemies

There are currently many nations who are looking on gleefully at the violence perpetrated against Israel.  However, although they celebrate warring, they remain blind to God’s warning.  You see, whilst those nations may drink from a cup of celebration, all of the nations will one day drink of the cup of wrath that God will hand them as judgement for their treatment of His chosen people. 

‘Metatron’: When The Study Of Angels Reaches Unbiblical Heights

One of the areas of interest is the angelic realm.  This realm, hidden from mortal eyes (with the exception of incidences recorded in the Bible), is a subject which has fascinated people for thousands of years.  However, this fascination has led some people to develop ideas that are not only unbiblical, they are leading people away from Jesus.

The Secret Of ‘Manifestation’ Is Occultism And The Worship Of Self

The more you listen to celebrities, the more you realize that they really are in bondage to some very strange ideas.  The practice of “manifesting” is not a new idea, but its popularity continues as its so-called practitioners continue to proclaim its efficacy in their lives.  Celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Jim Carrey, Lady Gaga, Tom Holland, Drake and many others claim they have had success using the process of manifestation.  So, what is it? 

Why Is Silicon Valley Feverishly Working Towards The Creation Of An Artificial god?

Just as the Christian looks forward to the rapture of the church, supporters of god-like AI look forward to the introduction of technology which, according to the Transhumanist Declaration, allows them to overcome aging, cognitive shortcomings, involuntary suffering and confinement to planet Earth.  In other words, in their version of religion, it is akin to an electronic rapture into the presence of their AI-god. 

Manipulating Gender Is Not An Invention Of The Modern Era

There is nothing new under the sun.  Satan has simply instituted similar false beliefs and practices and inspired mankind to call it “gender affirming care”.  Yet, it is the same lie – that the manipulation of gender is somehow inextricably linked to a rebirth.

The enemy has cleverly devised a dual strategy to counter the influence of the church in the modern day.  In many pulpits, he has introduced deceptive doctrine, designed to subtly draw people away from the truth.  Simultaneously, he has fomented distrust of ministry leaders throughout our communities, with the intention of turning people away from God.

Nearly Half The World’s Population Holds Antisemitic Views, Alarming Poll Finds

Millions of Jews across Europe were terrorised, hunted and murdered by not only the Nazis, but those who collaborated with them.  Hatred of the Jews did not end there and it is an inescapable fact that the same antisemitism which drove hatred of the Jews in the 1930s is once again infecting the hearts of many people today.   

Western Society Has Suffered Immeasurably From The Mind Virus Of Gender Ideology

Intolerance, violent activism, antisemitism, restrictions on free speech, and radical gender ideology are just some of its symptoms.  In short, wokeism has now morphed into the modern-day outworking of Marxist ideologies that attempt to destroy the foundational systems and beliefs of Western society.

A Counterfeit Of ‘The Most High’: Why Satan Manipulates World Leaders

On the basis of Satan’s work through the proud human rulers of ancient Tyre (Ezekiel 28) and Babylon (Isaiah 14) and his future work through the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2; Revelation 13), Satan’s strategy is to cultivate pride in the hearts of human rulers in order to mirror the sin which led to his fall.

Worldly Counterfeits: The Emergence Of Christless Churches

Warren Wiersbe used to say that people like to use God’s vocabulary but not His dictionary. People are all too happy to use the word “church” and profit from it, but they deceive their followers by redefining it.  Sadly, they have no understanding what a church is or exactly how precious it is to the One who shed His blood to purchase it (Acts 20:28).

Prioritising Entertainment Over Evangelism: The Plague Of ‘Amusement’ Has Infected Our Churches

A War On The Trinity: The Problem With RFK Jr’s Praise Of Psychiatrist Carl Jung

In Jungian theory, God is not a literal deity that created mankind, but is simply a psychological reality, a symbol of the transcendent aspects of the human experience.  This is why Jungian theorists reject the true and living God of the Bible.  He has been replaced by a “god” in the human psyche who appears indistinguishable from the true “self” that mankind should supposedly seek to discover.

The World Is Quickly Becoming A High-Tech Prison… And Its ‘Governor’ Will Soon Take Up His Post

God did not establish civil government so that it could turn on its people, use its people, surveil its people and track its people.  Yet so many of us have become conditioned to the supposed need for surveillance that it no longer bothers the average person when these technologies become even more ubiquitous.  What these technologies ultimately reveal is that the world is quickly becoming a high-tech prison. 

Rejecting The Truth: Australia Government Recognizes ‘Permanent Sovereignty’ Of Palestinians

Thankfully the pro-Israel stance of the incoming US administration will be able to mitigate some of the damage done by Australia at the UN.  However, this latest act affirms that our Australian government is spiritually blind and ignorant to the dangers of its position under God’s clear declaration in Genesis 12:3.

As We Rapidly Approach The End Of The Church Age, Christians Must Be Resolute In Our Position

Christ is Captain of our salvation and, as such, He is the One who issues the orders.  If we were giving the orders, we would be inclined to hand out more blessings than battles, but we must recognise that this age is a battleground, not a playground.
