God's people know that supernatural beings are not exclusive to Hollywood folklore. We know that by man and woman's very nature, they either want to be their own gods or desire help from godly or ungodly spirits. So why would one overlook this during a season when the dark side is often glorified? Even if you consider yourself unspiritual, you must know that there are those who are after your children, grandchildren, and others to help raise mayhem, accidents, arguments, fights, and more. Many of these children are playing games using papers and pencils in hallways and on playgrounds. They trade demonic inspired cards and spawn creatures in video games. The familiar spirits called forth attach themselves on to these unsuspecting kids then show up and show out in households all across this land. If you don't believe, it doesn't matter, because if one's house is not spiritually protected and his or her mind and heart is open to all sorts of foolish things, he or she is simply guilty by association, so let the chips or demons fall where they may. Play with fire, you or children will get burned. There are countless warnings about this time of year, yet Christians place the devil's relics and God's relics side-by-side. They talk out of two sides of their mouths.
Those of you who recall stories in the Holy Bible where saints prayed and fasted as well as annointed their door posts with blood, and made various sacrifices before the one true God, were doing these things for favor with Him. They desired protection and didn't want evil befalling on their families. Then Jesus showed up and did his work on the cross and so one must go through him to be saved. With so many people ignorant, nonchalant and disrespectful of both good and evil beings, it isn't any wonder that they are blind-sided when sudden calamity falls on them and those connected to them. We can reason all we want, make excuses, and do other things to explain away trouble, but spiritual believers know that satanic forces are working day and night to bring chaos on God's chosen.
When one asks, "What would possess a man/woman to do such a thing?" when it comes to saying and doing evil things. Think about what you are saying "possess." He or she is possessed whether it is by intelligent programming via devices and doctrines created by psychopathic human beings or susceptible to being used by minions to cause much drama due to witchcraft generational curses or affiliations, either way there is indeed a possession. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out that not everyone is interested in being good, righteous, and true. The droves of people who watch violent action oriented entertainment where people, places and things are destroyed, murdered, and stolen shows what kind of influential spirits are at work. One must ponder who truly governs your temple? Who is influencing your way of life? What God or gods do you serve? Keep in mind, Satan serves himself.
