Anne Heche may be in heaven today. I know some hardcore Christians may not agree but hear me out. August 5, just a little over a week ago, she drove her Mini Cooper nearly 100 mph into a house. Her car, and the home she hit, burst into flames. After being rushed to the hospital, for over a week she remained in critical condition. Last Friday doctors declared her brain dead and removed life support. Preliminary toxicology reports said she had cocaine and fentanyl in her system.

We reported a week ago the story of her sad life in a blog entitled “Anne Heche Possessed by Death Demon.” (To read click here.) That prophetic word has been, regretfully, proven true. In my previous blog, I pointed out the tragic details of her life being raised in a born-again, Christian home. In her memoir “Call Me Crazy,” published in 2001, she revealed that her father repeatedly raped her as a child. He lived a secret gay life and eventually died of AIDS. I also explained that before Anne was born, she had a sister, Cynthia, who died from a heart defect at two months old. During all this tragedy, Heche, a saved and baptized Christian, sought the help of a psychic medium. One sister died of brain cancer. Her brother died from a car accident, which some think was suicidal.  

No question there was a curse of death on Anne Heche, further empowered by the curse of incest that was on her father. So, how can I say she night have gone to heaven? She gave her life to Jesus at a young age. Baptized as a child. Spent her early years in a gospel-preaching church. I understand that many Christians will argue that her lesbian lifestyle with Ellen DeGeneres, her abuse of alcohol and drugs, her death-bent end means she can’t be in heaven. But salvation is about God’s grace. I’ve known people who confessed Christ when young but afterwards went on to spend decades in the occult, sexual sin, and heavy drug use. Most, like Anne, were victims of horrible physical, emotional, and sexual abuse that warped their view of life and God.

John 10:28 says, “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand” (KJV). John 3:16 promises eternal life by trusting in Christ. If that is revocable, how, when, where, and why? If you are sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30) how does one get unsealed? This matter is complicated, and theologians have argued about it for centuries. There are issues of apostasy, heresy, and being saved “as by fire” (1 Cor. 3:15). But let me be clear. I believe in holy living, growing in grace, sanctification, seeking the fullness of the Holy Spirit, and consistent obedience to the Word. But every day of my life I deal with broken people, like Anne Heche. Some were demon possessed from childhood, many from birth. They come to Jesus, but the odds of generational curses are so stacked against them that it’s hard to live for the Lord consistently.

Those in deliverance and inner healing ministry understand what I am trying to convey. Instead of pointing the finger of condemnation at Anne Heche, we need to call to account those in Christian leadership who deny deliverance and give no way out from the torment of demons and curses. If Anne Heche could have been set free, she would have been a powerful witness for Christ. I wonder, how many Christians along the way condemned her and didn’t tell her that her demons of death could be cast out? I believe Anne Heche may be in heaven. She certainly went through enough hell on earth.

Last Friday, actor Anne Heche, long-time lesbian partner of Ellen DeGeneres, crashed her Mini Cooper car into a house and an apartment complex. The house was nearly destroyed by the fire than ensued. Heche barely survived and was severely burned. Her ex male boyfriend, Thomas Jane, says she is in stable condition. Police say she had an open vodka bottle in the car. Fifty-nine fire fighters struggled more than an hour to save her life. Not long before her wreck, she had bragged on a podcast about how much alcohol she regularly consumed.

As the story played out, long buried and even unknown facts about her life surfaced. Her father was a well-known Baptist minister and choir director when Anne was growing up. He was also a closet homosexual who cruised gay bars at night. Anne claims that her father raped her and gave her herpes when she was just a child. Her father eventually died of AIDS. Her mother, who had to have suspected something, nevertheless dug into her religious beliefs and later told Anne she was going to hell for being a lesbian. The death of her father triggered her brother, Nathan, just 18, to commit suicide by driving into a tree. And even more death stalked the family.

Before Anne was born, she had a sister, Cynthia, who died from a heart defect at two months old. In the midst of all this tragedy, Heche, a saved and baptized Christian, sought the help of a psychic medium, Tyler Henry. The psychic said that she had a message from Anne’s dead brother: “He’s proud that you’ve been able to talk about these things and discuss these things, because you’re doing it for him too. And he appreciates that.”

As if all this were not enough pain, Anne’s sister, Susan Bergman, died of brain cancer at the age of 48. Bergman was a well-known writer who lectured at New York University, Northwestern University, and the University of Notre Dame. Her widower, Jud Bergman, was killed at age 62 when his taxi was hit by a drunk driver. Anne’s only living sibling is Abigail, a jewelry designer.

It is obvious that before this car wreck, Heche’s life has been a wreck, including a psychotic break some years ago when she walked on to a private property in only her underwear. She told children that she was taking them to heaven on a spaceship. Heche has also admitted she has DID, multiple personalities, and has one alter-ego she calls Celestria.

Now you can see why I believe that Anne Heche is possessed by demons of death. Of the five siblings in the family, three are dead and Anne nearly killed herself last Friday. Plus, her father died young as did a brother-in-law whom I just referred to. Somewhere in her dad’s bloodline there must have been a powerful curse of death and incest. If the truth were known, it’s likely she wasn’t the only one in the family who was incested. As to her mother’s crusade against Anne’s lesbianism, the mother would have been better to look in the mirror and see what kind of fantasy world she was living in. I’ve counseled hundreds of dysfunctional families like this and in most cases one or more family members lives in abject denial. The issue here isn’t Anne’s sexual choices, but the demons that infected all or most of the family, demons of death that a Baptist family forty years ago would have been ill-equipped to handle. Their theology wouldn’t have allowed it. And demons of death now have at least four, and nearly five, victims to show for their efforts. Our prayers are with Anne that she will reach back to her Christian faith and somehow separate it from the craziness of her family. Anne Heche needs our prayers, and she needs deliverance before her demons once again attempt to kill her.

There are three categories of curses that have the potential to destroy your health. I call these intended curses, invited curses, and enabled curses. I’ll explain the nature of each kind of curse and then tell you why I believe your emotional and physical health may be at risk if these curses are unbroken.

INTENDED CURSES: These curses come from deliberate, malignant intentions. The source might be someone who hates you for whatever reason; an ex-lover, spouse, friend, business associate – anyone who has aught against you for any reason. Their intentionality may include actual rituals, spells, or incantations. Intended cursed may have been invoked by ancestors whose actions genetically sent forth evil consequences.

INVITED CURSES – These are the curses that your own evil and sin summoned. You may have opened doors to invited curses by indulging in the occult or New Age, getting involved in toxic relationships, abusing alcohol or drugs, as examples. When you fail to cancel these curses and, worse yet, harbor them in your new life as a Christian, you are inviting maledictions of evil. And the demons attached to these behaviors enter by a door you personally opened.

ENABLED CURSES — The enabling of a curse occurs when you fail to take action once you become educated about curses and their consequences. You allow the evil of the curse to enlarge by neglect of spiritual discipline such as remaining in unhealthy soul-tie relationships. You may also fail to deal with unhealthy emotions such as bitterness, anger, rejection, or self- hatred. To enable a curse is to sanction and entitle it. That may not be your plan, but your actions could say otherwise, and Satan will take advantage of that.

Why is your emotional and physical health at stake if these curses aren’t broken? First, the general consequences of sin, including invited and enabled curses, brings disease and suffering. You may be sick because of invited curses of substance abuse or sexual promiscuity. Cirrhosis of the liver, as a case in point, may afflict an individual because of alcohol abuse. AIDS or venereal disease are often the result of sin. People who indulge evil behavior often suffer from a weakened immune system or infections.

Here is what Scripture says:

•  Psalm 107:17 declares, “Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, were afflicted.”
• Psalm 38:3 adds, “There is no health in my bones because of my sin.”
• Micah 6:13 warns, “I will make you sick, striking you down, Desolating you because of your sins.”
• And if we want to get really graphic about the consequences of curses on physical health, Zephaniah 1:17 says, “I will bring distress on men so that they will walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the Lord; and their blood will be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung.”

In the emotional realm, negative attitudes of the mind, brought on by the effect of curses, leads to hopelessness, depression, and anxiety. The body’s hormone balance is upset, brain chemicals damage the immune system. Infections and sickness follow with colds, flu, and worse. The chronic stress from an enabled curse may shorten one’s lifespan. Doctors call this the mind/body connection. Your physician may not treat curses, but he may have to treat you for high blood pressure, a stomach ulcer, other gastro-intestinal issues, or a mental breakdown, even psychosis or schizophrenia.

It’s clear from the Bible and medicine that evil living has physical and emotional consequences. The solution is forgiveness of sin, healing of broken relationships, inner healing, deliverance, and the breaking of curses whether they are intended, invited, or enabled.

Let me tell you the three best ways to get rid of demons. First, we must assume that the diagnosis regarding demonization is accurate. To get rid of demons presumes that there are indwelling evil spirits that need evicted. Determining that requires objective evidence, not someone’s prophetic word or personal assumption. If possible, the activity of demons needs to be confirmed by verbal identification by a person other than the host. 

There may also be some supernatural confirmations. These might include odd facial expressions, the demonstration of supernatural strength, or physical symptoms for which there is no medical explanation. Also, mental health issues need to be eliminated as a cause for the designated demonic behavior. Once the demon’s presence has been confirmed, then the victim/host can decide which course of immediate action is most advisable. If you are such an individual, consider these options for deliverance. 

#1 – FORCE THE DEMON OUT: This is sometimes referred to as “self-deliverance.” It’s a good place to start but likely won’t be successful if your case is egregious. Self-rebuking and binding of demons can be effective, but stronger demons won’t usually leave by this method. As a practical matter, they will take over the consciousness of the host, possibly trancing them. That can be dangerous. Also, if the demonization involves dissociate identity disorder (multiple personalities), it is impossible in a practical way to properly access one’s own internal alter-ego states without external help. The mind of the host can’t effectively dialogue with his or her own compartmentalized aspect of dissociated consciousness. A trained third party is needed to navigate this mental terrain. 

#2 – STARVE THE DEMONS OUT: Minor, weak demons will leave with this approach. Fasting, prayer, scripture memory, Christian fellowship, and reading classic Christian literature will help. Your goal is to irritate and frustrate lesser minions. But beware. Even though evil spirits may not like this opposition, it generally won’t make powerful demons leave voluntarily. There is benefit in diminishing the internal structure of the demonic system by spiritual discipline. Even though you may not starve out spirits like Lucifer or Leviathan, for example, any attempt by spiritual discipline to weaken Satan’s kingdom is beneficial. 

#3 – CAST THE DEMONS OUT: This is the only sure way to get the job done. And it isn’t something you can do on your own. It requires another individual to enforce God’s judgment on the devil. This is the biblical model. Never once did Jesus tell people to drive out their own demons. Those commissioned by His authority to remove demons were sent personally by Him, the two, the twelve, the 70. And in the Great Commission Jesus instructed all believers to engage this mission. Just as the gospel needs human hands and feet to spread the Word, it is the same with deliverance. That means your search for freedom from demonic attack must begin with finding someone who believes in the power of Christ to deliver and knows how to put that truth into practice. 

In summary, it’s a good idea to try to force out demons by self-deliverance or starve them out by more fully surrendering to Christ. But it’s likely that, unless you have what we call a “minor possession,” you’re going to need a deliverance minister, an exorcist, to enforce God’s will by casting out the evil spirits. 

Before I get to the point of this blog concerning abortion as a possible demonic doorway, I want to make a point that should be obvious. In the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s overturn of the Roe v. Wade abortion ruling, the incendiary language and actions of abortion supporters has been alarming. A man intent on murdering Brett Kavanaugh was apprehended outside the Justice’s home. What also caught my attention was the persistent use of the F-word. The mayor of Chicago used it in reference to Justice Clarence Thomas. Pink used the F-expletive repeatedly in concert as did many other pop stars. Here’s what is ironic. 

The sexual act which this vile F-verb refers to is the reason most pro-abortion advocates are upset. Most abortions are sought as a form of post-coital birth control because of fornication. The Guttmacher Institute, not exactly a conservative Christian organization, states that 74% of women seek an abortion because having a child would interfere with THEIR education, THEIR work, or THEIR ability to care for a child. In other words, what drives the decision for most abortions is unwillingness to control lustful passions, not extenuating health issues. 

There is not enough space in this short blog to consider the nuances of abortion law and decisions regarding circumstances such as rape or incest. Neither will we address at what point an abortion should not be considered, whether after a certain time such as the first trimester. Sadly, some lawmakers and politicians refuse to condemn so-called partial-birth abortions. (That is a situation where the unborn child can viably survive outside the womb but instead is cruelly dismembered.) Some political leaders actually declare that a woman has the right determine whether a baby should live AFTER delivery, if the mother finds the newborn unacceptable for any reason. 

As an exorcist I deal every day with demons. Whether an individual has had an abortion is often a crucial issue pertaining to deliverance. Demons argue that life begins at conception and termination of that life at any point constitutes a right of demonic entry to the mother. Most woman who come to me for deliverance have repented of their abortion. But they still must face the issue of cancelling potential curses of murder and death. This process is separate from forgiveness for what has been done. In addition, I have discovered that an individual’s life can be cursed because their parents considered an abortion but didn’t go through with it. That consideration by itself brings a curse to the unborn child which can lead to spiritual misery after birth. 

Demons know when life begins—at conception. Any abortion considered or attempted beyond that gives demons the potential right to torment the mother. This is an issue explained in our International School of Exorcism. We point out that parental authority plays an important role in the life of a child, born or unborn. A parent speaks for their child from conception until the age of legal consent.

Certainly, coming to faith in Christ will mitigate what the devil can do to someone who has had an abortion. But salvation won’t necessarily terminate the entire curse of death until it is specifically broken. As Jeremiah 1:5 declares of the prophet, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I sanctified you.”  This is also true of every person born of women. Each of us is a God-ordained being infused with the breath of life at conception. We are not the product of an evolutionary process. Every human being is created by God and has the breath of life from the moment sperm meets egg. 

Scripture teaches this and demons know it, no matter what Taylor Swift or Pink may think and no matter what any political leader legislates. Termination of life from conception onward should be fearfully considered. In the event of a health tragedy, every attempt should be made to save the life of both mother and child if that is possible. James 2:19 reminds us that demons believe and “tremble” at the reality of God’s judgment. So should every person and politician who favors unrestricted abortion, the taking of a human life at any time for any reason! 

On July 4, 2022, Robert Crimo III unleashed a hail of bullets on a crowd attending an
Independence Day parade in Highland Park, Illinois. He used a Smith & Wesson M&P 15
to carry out the attack, killing seven and injuring 47. He now faces at least 7 first degree
murder charges. The attack had been planned for weeks with detailed drawings of his intentions.
With a ladder he climbed to the top of a sporting goods store and began firing on innocent men,
women, and children below. Afterwards, his family said little, but his father issued a statement
saying, We are good people. Sorry, the facts dont support that. Why this kid killed isn’t all that
puzzling when you know the truth. Lets break this down by sharing facts about the killer and
his family. You’ll see that, not only was this evil predictable, but it was demonically rooted in the
family dynamics.

THE FAMILY IN GENERAL (The killer — Robert Crimo III; the dad — Robert Crimo II; the mom — Denise Pesina): Nearly a dozen calls to the family home were made by police over the years. Pesina gave contradictory statements about marriage problems, and Crimo II, the father, usually left for the night without arrests being made. The killer’s father claimed that his wife, Pesina, hit him with a screwdriver, scratched him, and threw his belongings on the floor. Both parents were frequently intoxicated. His father sponsored the gun permit used to buy the murder weapon because the killer was underage. He did so although his son had threatened to kill the family. Crimo II was cited for selling alcohol to minors out of a deli that he ran.

ROBERT CRIMO III: During his formative years he was traumatized. He was deprived of a sense of empathy for others because of how his parents treated him. His mother left Crimo III in a hot car as a toddler for 27 minutes. She was charged with endangering the life and health of a child and sentenced to 100 hours of community service. One must wonder what this trauma did to the infant. Crimo III, had been cited for underage tobacco possession and theft from a Macy’s store. He owned a sex doll he called Sophie and posted photos of the doll hanging by its neck in a closet saying, Sophie killed herself. He ranted online against black people, Jewish people, and denied the Holocaust. He tried to kill himself multiple times. Family friends warned the parents who did nothing. He also indulged in self harm. He threatened to kill his whole family and the police confiscated 16 knives from him in addition to a 24-inch samurai sword. His parents claimed they knew nothing of their son’s social media and his self-proclaimed rap career as ‘Awake the Rapper’ or his obsession with the number 47, linked to the day he committed the crimes.

But it’s his mother who gives us the deepest spiritual insights into why this happened.   

THE MOTHER (Denise Pesina, 48): Before marrying the killer’s father, she had an illegitimate child with a man named Steven Brown. In 1999 she sought a protective order against Brown claiming he sexually assaulted her 4-year-old daughter, the killer’s half-sister. Brown killed himself by carbon monoxide poisoning. Whatever was already spiritually skewed in the life of Denise, this suicide passed on to her a spirit of death. In 2012 she was sentence to a year’s probation and 100 hours of community service for a DUI and a failed sobriety test. Though married to the killer’s father, she apparently had a boyfriend named David who once called the police claiming that Pesina had bitten him, drawing blood. He alleged that Pesina was hit by her husband, Crimo II. The murderer’s mother was immersed in occult witchcraft. Pesina ran a business named Trilogy Energy Systems, a Reiki energy healing enterprise. According to her Facebook page she studied Traditional Chinese Medicine at Shanghai University and Hindu occult medicine at the Ayurvedic Institute. The web site for Trilogy features the demonic eye of Horus, the Egyptian god, a symbol believed to have magical powers and used by the Illuminati. The site also claims that Pesina is a graduate of the New Age Spa Institute, belongs to Universal Life Church Ministries (a religious credentialing mill), and she also practices “Shamanic Indigenous Plant Medicine” from witchcraft in Peru and Brazil. To quote her web site directly: Trilogy Energy Systems is committed to the wellbeing of ALL energy systems. One person has the ability to influence innumerous lives. Beginning with your healing, you have the ability to emit higher vibrational frequencies affecting all of those around you. These vibrational frequencies are filled with healing energy affecting patterns of lower vibrations, thus changing thought patterns and cell consistency. The universal frequencies accessed through healing will reach a broader spectrum of space and time, opening up new levels of abilities and resources. These new levels of abundance will not only be accessible in your life, but in the lives of all of those you love, reaching ever so farther than you can imagine. Imagine intertwining these frequencies with others on a healing path, creating a web of transformation across the universe, healing all of those who cannot heal themselves.

Here’s what we can conclude from this tragedy. This horrible happening was preventable if one or more of the egregious circumstances had been different. Dad probably had demons. Without question, the mom had demons. And it’s unquestionable that the demons this kid inherited (and then picked up on his own) orchestrated the murders.  

1)This family gives new meaning to the word dysfunctional. Crimo the killer was raised with little empathy, emotional security, or core spiritual values. He was a murderer waiting to kill or cause bodily harm at some point.

2)The father seems clueless, disconnected, and devoid of sensibilities on how to raise a child. But being married to Jezebel didn’t help this Ahab. 

3)The mother is a full-blown witch in biblical terms. Some have suggested she has also embraced Mormonism which didn’t help matters spiritually. Whatever demons Robert Crimo III had a birth were augmented by the extra demons his mother’s beliefs piled on him.

Jeremiah 31:29 speaks of a generation whose fathers have “eaten sour grapes” and as a result the “children’s teeth are set on edge.” The evil of one geJeremiah 31:29 speaks of a generation whose fathers have “eaten sour grapes” and as a result the “children’s teeth are set on edge.” The evil of one generation visits the next. Obviously, Ephesians 6:4 was not a scripture known to the Crimo home: “Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath.” In the Crimo family, that is exactly what happened. And this Ahab father and Jezebel mother set the stage for immeasurable death and suffering. Politicians need to stop blaming guns and start demanding that American families get their homes in order. That’s the real truthful takeaway from the Highland Park Shooting.

How can you fight off demonic attacks? I spend much time ministering to people who are internally bound by Satan. In that case, an exorcism is in order. The presence of evil must, in most cases, be interrogatively confronted and cast out. It must be removed and expelled from an internal habitation. But what if a tormenting demon is “out there” somewhere, hanging around and looking for a right of entry? This is sometimes referred to as demonic oppression. Being dogged by a demon. Harassed. Intimidated. Influenced. 

In such circumstances the person still needs deliverance but not necessarily an exorcism. What approach should be pursued if this is the case? Most people who are spiritually attacked aren’t possessed. They are oppressed. The devil hasn’t gotten inside yet. So, the goal of spiritual warfare is to keep the devil out. There are three biblical ways to do this: resist, reprove, rebuke. 

RESISTANCE is a defensive action described in James 4:7: “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”

REPROOF is referenced in Ephesians 5:11 which speaks of reproving evil and having “no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness.”

REBUKING is an offensive action mentioned several times in scripture. Jesus did this on many occasions.

Here is more detailed breakdown of these three actions against the Evil One:

RESIST – – As previously stated, this is a defensive action. It is an exertion of opposition. You recognize hostility and declare against it. When we say to Satan, “I resist you in the name of Jesus,” we are drawing a line in the sand. We’re telling the devil to back off, that he can come no further. Resisting is not pursuing the enemy but ensuring he stops in his tracks. Resistance can be a verbal command. It can also be a decision of personal conduct such as no longer watching pornography or getting spiritual help to repair damaged relationships. To resist is to dig in, to make healthy changes in one’s life, or to stabilize spiritually in preparation for reproof and rebuke.

REPROVE — To reprove is to issue a strong reprimand, a harsh criticism. It is telling the devil that whatever actions he has taken won’t be further tolerated. It is a stronger step from resisting. A directive of reproof might be something like this: “I command you Satan, in the name of Jesus, stop what you’re doing. I belong to Christ and reprove you by the power of His blood. I declare that you must back away and not return to torment me again under penalty of the Holy Spirit.”

REBUKE — To rebuke is to repel. It requires doing something against that which is adversarial. You declare and assert yourself in a directional way. There is no passivity in rebuking. You are directly confronting a demon. In Mark 1:25 Jesus rebuked the demons possessing the man in the synagogue. In Mark 4:39 Christ rebuked a storm which could have taken His life and the lives of those with Him. In Matthew 17:18 Christ rebuked the demon possessed son of a man who sought His help. Jesus rebuked demons, He rebuked sickness, and He even rebuked Peter who spoke the mind of Satan when denying Christ should die on the cross (Mark 8:33).

All three of these action verbs may be needed to keep the devil at bay. Your choice of verb will depend on the severity of your situation, but when in doubt, do all three: resist, reprove, rebuke. The devil is stubborn and won’t give up easily, but victory is eventual through Christ. Satan has been defeated, he is defeated, and he will be defeated.

A real-life witchdoctor to the stars in Hollywood is engaged to a real-life princess. You can’t make this up. Shaman Durek, (real name Durek Verrett), practices witchcraft on behalf of big-name actors and is about to marry Norway’s Princess Martha. I call him a witchdoctor because that’s what he is. Shaman is a nice, less offensive way of putting it. The bisexual Durek claims he is a sixth-generation shaman and has supernatural powers. He counts among his clients and friends people such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Selma Blair, and Rosario Dawson. Durek says he can communicate with the spirit world and cure cancer for just $1500 an hour. His bride-to-be is even wackier.

Princess Martha is the oldest child of the King and Queen of Norway. She is the divorced mother of three, whose husband killed himself on Christmas day 2019. Martha has her own demonic inclinations. She claims to be clairvoyant and calls herself a “high sensitivity light fountain.” To promote her views, she founded the Astarte Education Center teaching how to “create miracles with angels.” (Astarte is a Jezebel demon I commonly deal with. The name comes from a Greek-named fertility goddess worshiped by the Canaanites and Phoenicians. The name is another form of the demon Ishtar.) Martha claims to have met Durek during a past life. Taking a cue from Meghan Markle, the couple argues that any opposition by Norwegians to their marriage is “racism.” In fact, this witchdoctor was once convicted and sentenced to five years in prison for organizing a party in an abandoned house that was set on fire! They may want to keep an eye on him when he’s in the palace.

It should come as no surprise that the shaman is of Haitian lineage. Or so he says. He openly claims to be born into the tradition of voodoo. Among his other ideas are that chemotherapy doesn’t work and that children get cancer because they want it. It gets worse. He also says that sex can attract subterranean sprits that affect a woman’s private parts for which he prescribes exercise for spiritual cleansing. And worse, he says he is an alien reptilian from Andromeda and that he possesses energy from ancient spirits. No wonder he fits in well with Hollywood. It’s clear that this is a marriage made in hell, and after it inevitably crashes will become another asterisk on Durek’s resume.

It’s said that like attracts like. In this case, demons attract demons. It would be cynical to say that they deserve each other. In fact, they are both victims of their own demons. As Jesus said in Matthew 15:14, they are the blind leading the blind, and sadly both will fall in a ditch of self-destruction. With a curse of death and suicide coming from her ex-husband, the princess is in peril. And since both are Jezebels, I wonder, who gets to be Ahab?

As most of you know, I have close ties to the people of Ukraine. I have ministered there on a yearly basis for more than a dozen years. I have been referred to by Ukrainian church leaders as the apostle of deliverance to the Ukrainian people. I have ministered in more than 50 cities in Ukraine, including all the places that you’ve heard about on the news. I have been a visiting professor of spiritual warfare at the largest Bible college and seminary in Eastern Europe. I humbly say all of this so that you know my roots in Ukraine are deep. But I am increasingly concerned about the direction this present war has taken. When I find the political, far left, anti-Christian factions in America supporting Ukraine, the most Christian country in Europe, I get suspicious. As Shakespeare famously said, “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.”

Now in its fourth month, the war in Ukraine, starting on February 24, drags on. Will it end with a settlement or victory on either side? Whichever occurs, I believe that the stage for World War III is being set as we watch. A wider conflict seems inevitable. Unlike some preachers who may claim supernaturally-revealed words on the matter, I’m going to give you hard facts about what’s really going on. The truth isn’t obvious but must be seen against the backdrop of political and economic factors. First consider some facts you aren’t hearing in the mainstream media. Here’s why Ukraine is so important. This nation at the crossroads of Europe and Russia has the following distinctions:

#1 in Europe in proven recoverable reserves of uranium.

#1 in Europe in arable land.

#2 in Europe in total land area.

#2 in Europe in titanium ore reserves.

#2 in iron ore reserves in the entire world.

#3 in Europe regarding shale gas reserves.

#4 in worldwide value of natural resources.

Ukraine is a country worth controlling, and Russia knows it. The fighting has now become a war of attrition with no end in sight. And the cost is worldwide, a fact which has the potential to draw all of humanity into the fray. Nearly 7 million Ukrainians have left the country. Russia has seized the industrial heartlands and is blocking Ukraine access to the sea. Russia is not backing down, and neither are the brave Ukrainians. Russia has aligned with the two largest countries in the world, China and India. And after pouring tens of billions of American dollars into Ukraine, President Biden is only hoping, by admission of his Secretary of State, for a political solution lest he offend the Russians. Meanwhile, Putin threatens nuclear war and, unless deposed, won’t stop no matter what the cost. To give him what he wants would mean him asking for more at some point. What and when that breaking point would be no one knows, but it would inevitably lead to a world war of some kind.

My emphasis here isn’t Bible prophecy. I’ve discussed in earlier blogs how the stage is being set for a Russian coalition to invade Israel. Here are the basic facts you need to know as I see it:

1. The Biden administration never intended for Ukraine to win this war. They only need to give enough weapons to keep it going and deflect attention from America’s domestic problems. Putin knows that and is acting accordingly. He is only too happy to let the President blame him for America’s present woes.
2. The current conflict is all about oil. Russian has made its way around the embargos. But now our government wants to buy oil from our enemies, such as Venezuelan communists. Barely more than a year ago America was self-sufficient in oil and even exporting oil. Now Washington wants to make oil deals with Iranian Islamic militants. The climate change agenda took over and forced us into energy dependency. The energy map of the world has been redrawn. This pits America against China, India, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, all of whom have ideologies that are oppositional to Christianity. The demise of America would delight them. Then, the dollar as a default currency would no longer be essential to the world economy.
3. The embargos on Russia haven’t worked. Europe still receives about 95% of its natural gas from Russia. And with America and Europe committed to the insanity of immediately ending fossil fuel investments, Russia and their partners in crime against Ukraine will have a stranglehold on the West. Solar windmills will be a joke in the face of such a cabal of evil. Renewable energy is decades away at best, and that gives plenty of time for Russian’s conquering ambitions to intensify. Has anyone noticed that Arabian Oil Co. has taken over Apple as the world’s most valuable company? Middle eastern regimes consider it laughable that zero-carbon countries like the U. S. are now begging for Saudi Arabian oil production to be increased.
4. The taking of Crimea in the south and the Donetsk region in the east is exactly how Hitler started, when European nations conceded to him by giving up a small chunk of land called the Sudetenland. This was the historical German name for the northern, southern, and western areas of former Czechoslovakia which were inhabited primarily by Sudeten Germans. Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister of England, appeased Hitler leading to WWII. The European Union and President Biden, are the Chamberlains of our age.

This is a war that could cripple America. Not because there is fighting on our soil, but because the economic consequences could be devastating. And Putin could use this as a pretext to launch nuclear warheads into America, complicit with the Chinese. As the stage is being set for WWIII we need to be aware that Daniel chapter 11 prophesied a series of such battles. Some will take place before Armageddon and some after. Even more crucial are references to a king of the north attacking Israel. Ezekiel 38-39 seems to clearly identify this as Russia, at least at the end of the tribulation. Many Bible scholars believe that, in fact, both Russian and Ukrainian people are Rus people descended from ancient Scythians.

Thus, if the Russians/Ukrainians are Rus (Rosh in Ezekiel 38) the devil must find a way for Russia to defy America, conquer all or part of Ukraine, and then make his move on a climate-change weakened United States. That is happening now, and the stage is set for an even greater implementation of this demonic agenda. This is especially true if part of the biblical Magog includes what we now know as China. The only bulwark against this is enlightened Christians who truly understand what is at stake spiritually and politically. We can’t let Ukraine be another Vietnam by proxy. Our economy can’t afford it and the rush to Armageddon must be slowed. The souls of many who don’t know the Lord hang in the balance. The end is near, but not yet. The command to occupy (Luke 19:13 parable) until He comes mean constant exertion to preach the Gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons.

Let me introduce you to rock star Machine Gun Kelly, real name Colson Baker. He’s a popular rapper, musician, and actor with nine million followers on Instagram. He has an illegitimate daughter born in 2009. He openly brags about using marijuana and tells his youthful fans he smokes it daily, describing it as his “source of happiness.” He has also struggled with heroin, cocaine, Adderall, and alcohol. He claims to be a political anarchist. He is noted now for his relationship with actress Megan Fox, who constantly appears in photo-ops with him, blatantly baring her sexual attributes in the most lustful way possible. He has picked fights, in music and onstage, with other artists including Eminem and the highly demonic, metal band Slipknot. His entire body is tattooed except for his face. The symbol for anarchy is just above his belly button. One of his albums was called “Hotel Diablo.” His stage name comes from a notorious gangster in the early 20^th Century who ran booze during prohibition. Kelly robbed and kidnapped, using his favorite weapon, a machine gun.

Why bring MGK up now? Because at 32-years-of-age he has been publicly reunited with his mother who abandoned him at the age of nine. He broke the news online featuring a photo of him next to his mother, she giving the V-victory sign. He is smiling at the camera with both hands extended giving the middle finger. In one of his rap songs he referred to his mother with these lyrics: “How’d you leave your child at nine for another dude?” In the song “Burning Memories” he said, “I took acid (LSD) just to burn all my memories of you. All the years you ignored me, left me sleepless in the bed. I hope he got some kids because your only son is dead.” Kelly admits he contemplated suicide.

How can I be certain Kelly has demons? Here are four reasons:

#1- MGK’s parents were missionaries who traveled the world spreading the gospel. He tagged along as a child. But when he was nine, his mother left the family for another man. His dad fell into depression, so Kelly went to live with an aunt. The hypocrisy of his overly strict, religious parents impacted him. We don’t know why his mother committed adultery, but the facts can’t be good. This is where Kelly’s rebellion stemmed from. Being in Christian ministry and living a double life was an opening for demons. He became embittered against God, and who can blame him. But demons don’t care about the facts, they only take advantage of the situation. He was an innocent child, and his parents opened the door to the devil.

#2-His highly celebrated sexual escapades with various woman, including fathering an illegitimate child, opened more doors to demons. We’ll not get into the story of his latest love, Megan Fox, but her lustful displays say it all. He is engaged to Jezebel. She says of the relationship, “Instead of a soul mate, I have a twin flame where a soul has ascended into a high enough level that it can be split into two different bodies at the same time. So, we’re actually two halves of the same soul.” That is witchcraft.

#3-His consistent foul language, spirit of rebellion, and defiance of decency may be a good career move in today’s culture, but it is also an open door for demons. Perhaps he thinks he is entitled to rage against his parents in life and lyrics, but it’s clear Satan has used it for advantage. Kelly said it himself on his EP entitled Binge, saying, ‘I’m still dealing with some demons that ain’t really there, grew up a screw up, pierced my ear and dyed my f**king hair.”

#4-His drug use alone has given Satan hundreds of opportunities for entry. Followers of this blog and our International School of Exorcism understand how demonic possession occurs. MGK is a public prize for the devil, and Satan wouldn’t have passed up the opportunity, especially with a diet of weed every day. Even though Machine Gun Kelly suffered through a tragic early childhood that was not of his choosing, his embrace of evil now holds him fully accountable. Yet there is hope for him, as for any sinner. Sadly, the successful trajectory he seems to be on now is blinding him to truth. Satan has this young man where he wants him, but so did he Saul who became Paul. If Kelly is willing to make serious life changes and get an exorcism, I’m ready, confidentially, off-the-grid, and without obligation. That’s a better deal than Jezebel can offer him. Jesus said in Luke 12:15, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses” (NKJV). As the New Living Translation puts it, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.” Fame, as they say, is fleeting. Hell is hot and eternal.
