Month: June 2020

Recently I did a virtual encounter with an individual from a European nation. She had recently found the Lord and was escaping a background of occult/New Age beliefs. Among the things she got involved in were healing stones, laying on of hands, tarot cards, yoga, zone therapy, and German psychic Bruno Gröning. This intelligent and educated woman was being attacked mentally and physically. She discovered me on YouTube and sought help. Unfortunately, she is one of millions who’ve been deceived by energy healing.

The basic ideas behind energy healing are these:

• An undefined energy pervades the universe and all living things. Live in harmony with it and life will be successful. It flows in the body through 12 meridians (in deference to the zodiac of astrology).
• This energy has no objective component and is known by different names in different religions and cultures. “Mana” to the Polynesians, “prana” to Hindus, and “chi” to Buddhists and Taoists, for example. This energy has no moral code and can be cultivated by anyone of any religious persuasion. 
• Physical, emotional, and spiritual health is possible by re-distributing or disrupting the flow of this energy by techniques such as the laying on of hands, non-touch hand movements over the body in wave-like motions, pressure points (reflexology), disruption by needles (acupuncture), burning (moxibustion—fire from dried mugwort), and body motions such as yoga,  tai chi, or qui gong.
• Often, a spiritual healer or guru is needed to move the energy, a supposedly advanced being. (None ever profess orthodox biblical faith.)

The late Bruno Gröning, mentioned above, was a German/Polish mystic who rose to fame after World War II. He’s still followed by millions across Europe. His beliefs are typical of energy healers. He claimed access to “ancient wisdom” that had been lost. He believed that health, not illness, is humanity’s natural state [Christian Science]. Wellness is possible by absorbing a “divine life force” by daily tuning in to a “healing wave.” He predicted that humanity was about to experience what he called a “great reversal” when everyone would live in harmony with nature. He died at age 52. So much for ancient wisdom.

If you have been involved in energy healing, as a practitioner or recipient, you are likely demonized and in need of an exorcism. You must immediately make a list of all related practices in which you’ve engaged and find someone who understands spiritual warfare to agree with you in prayers of renunciation. Better yet, contact our offices for an in-person or virtual encounter. The energy you may have manipulated or ingested is demonic and has nothing to do with true biblical healing such as prescribed in James 5:14, prayer in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. 

Last week’s blog “Pastors Shouldn’t Protest” caused a furor with some of our readers. They missed my point. I stated that NOW was not the time for clergy to march in the streets. Yes, black and white pastors marched with Martin Luther King, but things were much different then. There were no leftist, Antifa-anarchists in the crowd egging on violence. There were no criminal looters in Selma. To march with Black Lives Matters today often means direct involvement in a mixed multitude, some of whom are genuinely sincere and others who are intent on destroying property and taunting police.

What’s more important than protest signs highlighting a single, tragic incident, is identifying the roots of racism and pulling them up. One root is slavery. In some ways its worst legacy was destruction of the family unit. Slaves were considered less than fully human to be bought and sold as individuals without regard for spouses or children. Slave owners cared little for the familial connections of slaves.  Bonds of love and stability between husbands, wives, and children were disregarded. African American pastors tell me that this curse still haunts fragmented, black families today. That curse of slavery must be broken by all African American Christians.

We must also confront the racist root of white supremacy which comes from Nordic, demonic powers. Hitler based his antisemitism on the occult worship of Nordic gods like Odin and Thor. The curse of these false gods comes from Scandinavian regions, and it’s no coincidence that George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis. Nearly 17% of Minnesotans claim Norwegian heritage. White Aryanism and Nordic witchcraft foment hatred of Jews and those of color. I’ve dealt with many demonic possession cases involving these demons.

Our Advanced Academy of Deliverance explains the Scandinavian curse of Jante which facilitates this diabolical racism. The Jante curse enforces a belief in conformity to the collective norm of the majority, which may include a white plurality. I believe that some blacks in Minneapolis have been victimized by this curse. George Floyd might have been one of them. As Christians we need to look behind the gut-grabbing headlines to understand what’s really going on in spiritual warfare! To heal our land, we must go beyond identity politics and embrace the power of prayer to break ancient curses of hatred for any stigmatized group. If you are of Scandinavian ancestry, break the curse of Jante. (I’m half Norwegian, and I have.) If you are African American, recognize slavery as a social evil but also a demonic curse. Break it. Renounce what was done to your ancestors and its consequences of poverty and despair. Ridding ourselves of such generational evil is the only way to pull up the spiritual roots of racism and cast them into holy fire!

Some evangelicals are joining public protests. Like Hillsong leaders who’ve endorsed Black Lives Matter. In my opinion these politically correct Christians are being coopted by Antifa anarchists with violent intentions. Can Christians really support slogans like, “No Justice, No Peace,” and “PROPERTY CAN BE REPLACED. GEORGE CAN’T BE.” Those intentions aren’t subtle. The threats are obvious. Do pastors really want to be connected to rioters, looters, and those who want to defund police forces? The injustices of today pale by comparison to the brutality of Rome. But Christ never sent his disciples to march against Caesar. He told them to cast out the demons behind these injustices.

This social gospel has been tried before in the 60s and 70s in Latin America, and preachers led the protests. The results were brutal, communist regimes in places such as Nicaragua, Cuba, and Venezuela. Haven’t we learned anything? Racism is demonic. That knee on the head of George Floyd was demonic. But putting a knee to the ground in support of social anarchy leaves the African American community at greater risk of having their businesses burned and their opportunities for equality lessened. Are you listening Mr. and Mrs. Drew Brees?

Marches and provocative protests won’t heal our land. Genuine, national repentance for the brutality of slavery would be a start. But attention-grabbing displays of bended knees does nothing to drive out the demons of hate. America isn’t a racist nation. We elected an African-American for President. Ours is a good and great nation and prejudiced people are a small minority. Racism won’t change without prayers of deliverance no matter how many march. Pastors who kneel like Colin Kaepernick should stand up with a Bible and confront the real evil behind all animosity. The devil and his demons cause social injustice. I’ve cast out many demons of hate and human servitude from both blacks and whites. The results have led to lasting spiritual change and a color-blind attitude toward race. Instead of protesting, pastors need to stop kneeling and start rebuking — the devil and his demons. Instead of racial warfare, we need spiritual warfare. We need pastors who will pray, not protest!
