Dear Debelynne,
Debelynne said: ''I don't know what to do! Everyone says I am taking my concerns a little too far... ''
Debelynne you are right! You are not taking this too far. Witchcraft, sorcery, and magic are very real. These videos are subtely teaching children about the very REAL world of the OCULT. Don't listen to the voice of the libral mind they are decieved. Most people no nothing of the spirit world all around us. Preaschers are afraid to preach about it because there people might think there charismatic or something. For those of us who before salvation have had our spiritual eyes opened to the spirit world around us, we do not take this subject so lightly. Thats why we have such a strong stand on the wrong beat in music and also on magic of any sort.
The bible says:''Phi 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
We as christians are to live by faith. We are to put our trust in nothing but God. We are not supose to intertain these such thoughts(magic) it opens doorways we are not to open.
We do not want our children to intertain these thoughts that man might be able to do unnatural things like make things move or make things happen.
This is for God to do in our lives if he sees fit. If we need something moved we are to pray and ask God not wave a wand or chant Abra Cadabra (or other spells) to make it move. If we need something or need something to happen in our life we are to pray and ask God (our Heavenly Father) to help us and He will do what he sees fit in our lives and we are to be happy with His decission.
We are not to wish, but hope. We need to change wrong wording. We are to put our trust in God. The God of heaven (the creator God) not the god of this world. We are not to put our trust in man or mans abilities eather. (ours or others abilities)
Before I recieved Christ as my personal saviour,(got saved, became bornagain) I use to love horiscopes, (that was the least of my dabbleings) When I gave my heart and life to Jesus I also had to give up this so called by many, innocent practice.
When we go to a chinese restarant I turn over my place mat because it has a horiscope..( I have to admit it is quite interesting trying to figure out what Animial everyone is like and who is attracted to or who gets along with who.) It is my gesture to show the devil that I am differant now my life belongs to Jesus and I honor Him with my life even with something as little as that. Actually it's not so little it opens doorways and gives satan a foothold even if we do it innocently.
We are commanded by scripture to stay away from such practices of darkness, even on tv and videos. The bible says''
1Th 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.'' 1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. I use evil, when see out in public to teach my children, but I
DO NOT bring it in our home.
Evil has no place in a christian home. ( What! are we teaching our dear children?) We are accountable to God for all we teach our children.
When we go to the store and see immodest women/girls, or immodest maggizines. We tell the children don't look there immodest. ( I turn immodest maggizines around at the register, because I don't want my husband or son(nor me and my girls) to see immodest women trying to look sudictive and sexy. There body is none of my busness or anyone elses. It's ungodly and sinful.
Most christians have become numb to those magizines and to immodesty around them. As my preacher use to say they have lost there blush.
Most christians have a TV and VCR and fill there mind with vanity and compremise. It is a waste of ones time to watch a TV and Videos.
We totaly once and for all got rid of our TV and VCR, our rewinder and over 100 videos, back in 2000 and we have never missed it. Our children are creative not only in projects, but in play, and have learned to get along with eachother much better. They don't get board and they help with house work and even have learned how to bake and make meals, and many more wonderful things which aren't a waste of their time or talents.
:)The Lords ways are pleasant and full of joy and they honor God. Christian come up higher!
When we go to the chinese restarant we turn the mat over we teach the children that this is fortune telling which is witchcraft. That Gods children are to have nothing to do with the works of darkness.
When we see people with black clothing, body piercing, satanic t-shirts, etc. We tell the children they are in bondage to satan and that we need to pray for them to be saved.
At halloween we teach our children just what a jack o lantern was used for by the druids. We teach them it is a satanic holiday. That Gods children have no busness having anything to do with it. I can hardly believe some churches have something to do with it.
Please! No comment's are needed on how your church practices this satanic holiday! ( For those who feel the need to explain.) I know all too well the many ways Gods people practice this. We do nothing, but call it wicked. Well we do, do something, before mid-night we go outside and we PRAY for the works of darkness to be thwarted. Much dark evil is committed on that day and other satanic holidays throughout the year.
God is not pleased!
We try to teach our children what is good and evil by what they see when were out in public.
When we see guys looking like girls or acting like girls, or girls acting ,and dressing like a guy we use this as an oppertunity to teach them that God wants us to dress like what God made us to be and act like what God made us to be. And we're to be attracted to the oppisite of what we are. God made us to be a girl to one day have a husband (boy) or He made us a guy to one day to have a wife (girl). It sounds simple, but in this day and age, this is something that is really happening in our country. This use to not be such a problem in years gone past. This is unnatural and against God and His purpose for man and woman.
Speaking of sodomites and unnatural affactions. Disney World, has gay pride day where Mickey and Mini walk around where there are two Mickeys together holding hands and two Minis walking around holding hands in support of this wicked perverted lifestyle. I have nothing to do with Disney! We don't have any toys, baby clothes, any clothes, including diapers or pull ups, or any other item in our possesion. We do not like any toy that has to do with any cartoon or trendy item.
We try to honor the Lord with every item in our life and every thing we do. Our music, entertainment,the places we go, the people we fellowship with etc.
We teach our children to love the sinner (care for there soul,wittness to the lost and those gone astray, to pray for them and be kind to them, but to not ever compermise there walk with the Lord or there bible convictions.)
We as christians do not have to be like the world to be effective. We have more to offer if we have overcome the world and it's allurements and deceptions. Then we can truely help others. The christian can live a victorious christian life that brings much glory and honor to the Saviour!
I hope this has been helpful to someone!
