Mind Control within Christianity

Some followers of Jesus have become victims of Christian mind control without realizing it. I’m not talking about covens of witches or a cabal of satanists. The mind control I refer to is any system that involves unscriptural manipulation of a person’s beliefs and behavior. This happens when group-think psychological tactics are used to shape an individual’s ideology and theology.

An eschatological example would be Jehovah’s Witnesses and their obsession with the 144,000 witnesses of Revelation 7:4. Or the Mormon fixation with creating what they call a “forever family” that survives death and continues in a celestial heaven where good Mormons go to procreate children and populate other planets. Other forms of religious mind control are designed to perpetuate financial sway over the money of members. Spiritual mind control creates a framework that destroys personal autonomy, creating a moral vacuum which can be manipulated by a powerful religious figure.

You may think I’m referring to something like a bearded, Eastern religion ascetic who manipulates followers with meditation and mantras. Or a separatist sect like the David Koresh cult that ended in a fiery explosion in 1993. You may also think of the mindless Moonies of the late 20th century who seemed to stand on every street corner in America selling flowers and raising money. But the most dangerous mind control may exist in your own church or prayer group. Here is what to look out for:

  1. An either-or mentality regarding the Bible, insisting that only the leader of the church or group knows what God is really saying. Add to this strong emotional reinforcement by lengthy, intense prayer sessions accompanied by a succession of spiritual revelations. This system is fortified by theological isolation, such as an attitude that “we’re right and everyone else is wrong.” Ecstatic utterances and a succession of prophetic revelations may be used to suggest that one or more leaders are hearing from God about specific moral, cultural, or political events. These may include how to prepare for a coming financial calamity, who to vote for in the next election, or detailed events that indicate the coming of Christ is imminent.
  2. Cohesive pressure to give financial support so that you’ll automatically get a hundred-fold blessing, so long as the money goes to a preacher who hears directly from God on a regular basis. Adding to the financial control is a certain dress code, lifestyle, or rule of behavior that requires top-down approval. The not-too-subtle suggestion is that by following certain rules laid down by the leadership, there will be blessing. Disobedience will bring retribution and suffering. When a religious leader is long on emotionalism and short on rationalism, some degree of mind control may be at work.
  3. Personality cults are the most egregious example of mind control among professing Christians. In most cases the websites of such leaders are short on details about education, publications, and position papers on belief. Control is maintained by the revelations the leader gets which discourage dissent. Questions about doctrine and practices are quickly shut down. An example would be questioning the biblicism of teaching that there are heavenly legal jurisdictions adjudicating events on earth. If a certain belief or practice doesn’t have historical church precedent it may be spurious or trendy. Unwavering trust in such new revelations may foster a religious system which is inspiring but won’t stand the test of time.

Not all religious mind control is intentionally evil. Some religious practices fall into error because a particular system of belief leans heavily on the pronouncements of an individual who has no theological oversight. Caution — if you find yourself being irritated by what I’ve just said, that may be the first indication that you are a victim of a splintered Christian teaching that suspends critical thinking. In short, you may be affected by mind-control Christianity. Heed the words of 2 Timorthy 4:3-4: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables (NKJV).”

You Have Demons and Don’t Know It

As an exorcist I do, on average, nearly 2,000 face-to-face or virtual exorcisms each year. These individuals who seek my help have some awareness that evil lurks inside their soul. In most instances, they don’t know what it is, how it got there, and how to get rid of it. That’s why they turn to someone with my experience. But if you add up all the people to whom I minister, and then add to that all those seeking deliverance with others who have this calling, it’s still an extremely small percentage of the Christian community. The sad truth is that many Christians have demons and don’t know it. You may be one of them.

Before you say, “Not me no way,” let me explain how demons operate. They don’t always show themselves when they first enter. In fact, they may hide for years, even decades, waiting for an opportune time to strike. That’s when they seek me out. I’m glad they finally took that step, but here’s the problem. All those years of clandestine, demonic activity have taken a toll, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Better late than never to seek deliverance, but even better to get your demons before they get you.

How would you know if a demon is hiding somewhere inside? You can consider the same clues I look for with those who seek my assistance. Is there severe abuse or trauma in your life? Does your family have a history of being drawn to the occult? Do you know of an ancestor who was a Freemason, a witch, murderer, or sexual pervert? Do you suffer from undiagnosable illnesses? Does financial success elude you no matter how well-educated you may be or how hard you work? If your bloodline is filled with troubled relationships, addictive behavior, anger, illegitimacy, and spiritual instability — take note. Having one or more of these factors doesn’t confirm that you have demons. But it should arouse considerable suspicion that evil spirits may be hiding somewhere in your soul. In most cases, only an exacting deliverance process will determine whether you have a demon and don’t know it.

Start that process of seeking spiritual freedom now. Spend more time in God’s Word. Develop the discipline of fasting. Read books like the ones I’ve written such as “Curse Breaking,” “Jezebel,” “Dealing with Demons,” and “Larson’s Book of Spiritual Warfare.” Sign up for our streaming platform XDUNAMIS and enroll in Bob Larson University. The more you become educated about how demons operate, the more you’ll be aware of possible indwelling evil in your life. And the better prepared you’ll be to confront these demons which previously may not have been detected. I’ve ministered to people who were born with demons because of generational curses. Some of these individuals never thought about being demonized until much later in life when they started to assess the source of serious spiritual problems. Take action, NOW. Push back against any demons that have secretly embedded in your soul. Don’t be the victim of demons that you didn’t know you had.

Angel Numbers are Phony & Demonic

Following on the interest in so-called Angel Cards is a spin off fad call “angel numbers.” I got a pop-up on my computer last week from USA-TODAY, what used to be a reasonably respected national news magazine. The online version of USA-TODAY featured a promotion for angel numbers. The article declared, “Have repeating eights popped up on just about everything that has numbers, from clocks to prices on receipts? If this is the case, great successes could be on your way! In numerology, angel numbers, or repeating number sequences, can be used as guides for deeper spiritual exploration as each numeral has its own significance.”

Is there any truth to this? What are angel numbers? Let’s first look at the occult practice of angel cards. Angel cards are a form of divination to receive the message of supposedly angelic beings who are willing and ready to assist spiritual seekers. The angel cards are like tarot cards but focused specifically on connecting with angelic energies or higher spiritual beings, rather than the random and ambiguous symbolism found in tarot cards. So, here’s how angel cards generally work:

  1. Angel cards typically come in a deck and each card features an image of an angel.
  2. Individuals ask for guidance on a specific issue.
  3. Just like in a regular card game, cards are shuffled and drawn.
  4. Then the drawn card’s message is interpreted in the context of the user’s question.
  5. The message on the card is supposed to give guidance, which is usually in the mind of the seeker or card reader. It might suggest a course of action or be applied to some aspects of the user’s life, depending on who reads the card.

Angel numbers are based on occult numerology, believing that certain sequences of numbers carry special messages or guidance from spiritual beings. These numbers are thought to hold symbolic meaning beyond their numerical value. For example, you might frequently see numbers like 111, 222, 333. The sequential numbers might be the time on a clock, license plates, receipts etc. Each number sequence is supposed to have a specific meaning. Here are some commonly recognized angel numbers and their supposed interpretations: 111: New beginnings; 222: Harmony and balance; 333: Guidance from your angels; 444: Protection and presence of your angels; 555: Change is coming so get ready; 666: Often associated with the antichrist.

Consulting angel cards and angel numbers is witchcraft, the sin of divination which opens one’s life to demons. Often the advice of the card reader or number interpreter may lead a person deeper into the occult. These combinations of numbers mean nothing more than what any individual reads into them. Certain biblical numbers do have meaning, like the number 7 which stands for completion or perfection. Six is imperfection, such as 666 which indicates mankind’s rebellion. I deal daily with people who have explored angel cards and numbers. Most of these individuals started out innocently but are now demon possessed and tormented day and night. If you are interested in angel numbers, beware. First Peter 5:8 says the devil is seeking to devour you. If you practice any form of the occult, he’s got your number.

Taxpayer Funded Witchcraft

In Minnesota, millions of taxpayer’s dollars are going towards funding witchcraft. And they aren’t hiding it. The Minneapolis Walker Art Center, which is largely supported by state income taxes, recently put on a display performance called “Lilit [Lilith] the Empathic Demon.” Promotional literature bragged, “Demons have a bad reputation, but maybe we’re just not very good at getting to know them.”

The advertisement also goes on to say, “The performance is inspired by Lilith, an aerial spirit demon with origins in Sumerian mythology. Families are invited to create a vessel to trap the demon that knows them best and then participate in a playful ceremony to summon and befriend their demon.” The artist behind this demonic debacle also has a website advertising “31 cards to connect with your demon.” And to make it worse, instructions are given on how to call up the Lilith demon by texting the word SUMMON to a phone number which I’ll not give out.

This is happening here and now in America. This is the same art center that on its web site features photos of children appearing to be about age 5 or so wearing PRIDE T-shirts and waving rainbow-colored gay flags. Again, mostly paid for by taxpayers who have no consent about how their money is being used. If those same T-shirts read, “Jesus is Lord,” and taxpayers funded it, there would be a public outcry from progressives coast to coast.

Our book “Jezebel: Defeating Your #1 Spiritual Enemy,” which was originally published eight years ago, featured an entire chapter on Lilith. Back then, I was the first person to put in print a theological and practical analysis of this despicable demon. I call Lilith “Jezebel on steroids.” When I first started doing deliverance decades ago, no one knew who Lilith was. Now, countless web sites and many deliverance ministries talk about confronting this demon. That’s great.

As explained in my book, the witchcraft identity of Lilith is rooted in mystical, Kabbalistic, occult Jewish speculation. Lilith is believed by black magicians to have been the true wife of Adam. As this phony take on both Hebrew and Christian theology goes, Eve sexually seduced Adam to supplant Lilith and mother the human race. It is therefore the responsibility of every practitioner of the dark arts to restore Lilith to her rightful place as Queen of the Universe and the true mother of humanity. This belief is historically unfounded, biblically spurious, and diabolical.

But the Minnesota Walker Art Center takes it further by inviting whole families to deliberately invoke demons by using “ancient Babylonian techniques.” I have no doubt that Lilith, and a legion of other demons, have responded accordingly. Who knows how many thousands of unsuspecting Minnesotans have become demon- possessed with government consent and underwriting. We need no further proof regarding how far American culture has fallen into witchcraft, and how near we are to God’s judgment. And this emphasizes how important it is to train a generation of warriors to understand how to wage real spiritual warfare. Please enroll in Bob Larson University today or sponsor someone who is willing to learn how to cast out the Lilith demon. Unless our nation has a sudden spiritual reversal and turns back to God, the next generation won’t be Gen X or Gen Z but Gen Lilith, infested by the queen of demons.
