I should have seen this coming. Why wouldn’t the devil find new ways to use high tech to facilitate demonic possession. His latest attempt at occult spiritualism? Audio and video chatting with the dearly departed. To make necromancy easier, a new company called AFTR will turn you into a spiritualist medium instantly. This form of high-tech divination is part of a new branch of so-called “death care” known as “death-tech.” Cameras are installed at a loved one’s gravesite with two-way virtual communication. AFTR describes this as having “an eternal connection” with dead loved ones. All this for $499, plus access to unlimited streaming for an additional $12.99 a month.

Necromancy is spoken of in Deuteronomy 18:11, where Scripture lists ten forbidden practices of the occult, which God considers “abominations,” that which is disgraceful and utterly detestable. A necromancer is one who speaks with the dead or summons their spirits to foretell the future and discover hidden knowledge. King Saul committed this evil, as recorded in 1 Samuel 28, and brought judgment on his kingdom. It resulted in the death of him and his sons the very next day (1 Samuel 28:19).

This sin of necromancy is practiced today by shamans, psychics, and spiritualist mediums. Having spent much time in Ukraine, I am aware of the practice of families having picnics at the graveyard burial site of a loved one. Sometimes food is set out for the dead to eat, also a common practice in eastern religions. All such communication with the dead is witchcraft and brings destruction and spiritual death. I have dealt with countless cases of demonic possession which resulted from attempts to talk to the dead, or practice ancestor worship. In Luke 16, regarding the story of the rich man and the beggar Lazarus, the Bible declares that there is a “great gulf” (also translated as a “great chasm” – NIV) across which the dead and living cannot cross. Any attempt to do so is deception and disobedience to God, no matter how high-tech such necromancy may be.

The recent Portland riots are the worst in Oregon’s Rose City in over three decades. Black Lives Matters protests recently took an ugly turn when some protesters went beyond burning buildings and throwing lethal concoctions at police. This time they burned Bibles along with the American flag. If this movement was originally about the tragic death of George Floyd, in some quarters the cause has been co-opted. Throwing explosives into a police station is an act of civil criminality with legal implications. Burning Bibles is blasphemy with eternal consequences.

It may be that some well-meaning protesters concerned about black justice don’t condone such behavior. But the actions of the militant few seem to be steering the cause for social equity in a dangerous direction. These anti-Christian radicals want to see both America and Christianity destroyed. May 10, 1933, the Nazis initiated the Holocaust with the public burning of books deemed “un-German.” This symbol of intolerance set the stage for Hitler’s genocidal mania. Demonic worship of pagan, Nordic deities was at the heart of Nazi Germany’s beliefs. Hatred for the Jews was based on reverence for violent, white supremacist gods like Odin and Thor. The same demons were likely summoned by the Bible-burning in Portland.

Some may argue, “It was just a few Bibles, and the burning doesn’t speak for all protesters.” But in 1933, how many Germans were worried about a small group of radicals burning a pile of books by Jewish writers? Some states in America have made it illegal to attend any kind of church meeting, blaming COVID-19. Now Bibles are publicly burned. Those who can’t see the connection between Hitler’s Reich and the Portland book burnings are naïve and spiritually blind. One Bible burned is one too many. From small beginnings, terrible evils can arise. Portland doesn’t need another protest. Portland needs an exorcism!

Last week our Wednesday Livestream on YouTube was about Freemasonry. If you missed it, it is now posted on our Bob Larson Exorcism Channel. Check it out. We heard from those who lives have been tormented because of ancestors involved in the Lodge. We explored many aspects of Freemasonry, but two underlying issues about this secretive cult need further attention. Sexually perverse activity that goes on behind the closed doors of the Lodge, and the code of silence that allows such reprehensible deeds.

The lies. All Freemasons from the very first Entered Apprentice degree are bound by a death oath, enforced by a vow. Our new book FREEDOM FROM FREEMASONRY exposes the actual words which are spoken by the initiate. The neophyte declares that he will never tell anyone the secrets of the Lodge. He agrees to “promise and swear” to the following: “Binding myself under no less penalty than to have my left breast torn open and my heart and vitals taken from thence and thrown over my left shoulder and carried into the valley of Jehoshaphat, there to become a prey to the wild beasts of the field and the vultures of the air.”

In addition, they also agreed that if they ever reveal any Lodge secrets that their throat is to be slit from ear to ear. Your family members, your ancestors who belonged to the Lodge declared these demonic curses on their heads and on you.

Sex? Not all Lodges are guilty of perversion and pedophilia, but some are. I’ve personally heard testimonies of ex-Lodge members that tell of acts so vile that I can’t speak of them here. Manifesting demons in the descendants of Freemason, demons who are there because of demonic dedications from ancestors, speak about sexual evils that know no bounds. I’ve heard such things in hundreds of deliverance sessions.

How can such evil exist with a group whose motto is “making good men better?” The lies. The secrecy. The vows. The oaths. Even those who leave the lodge are terrified to tell the truth. Will Freemasons deny such things? Of course. Either they are unaware because their Lodge is less evil, or they are lying. No Christian of good conscience can be a Freemason. If you are, get out. Get free from the sex, and lies of the Lodge.

We live in the End Times, and we’re now experiencing the most widespread persecution of Christians since saints were fed to the lions in the colosseum. This attack on faith has many faces. Some are overt, such as communism in North Korea and Islamic State in the Middle East. What’s less obvious, and more concerning, is the subtle assault on faith in western nations.

Recently, a church in America had a statue of Jesus decapitated. A well-known protest leader has called for all images of Jesus to be torn down. In Florida, a man plowed his car into a Catholic Church during Mass preparation. He poured gasoline in the foyer and set the building on fire. In California, a statewide order has forbidden any churches to be open, blaming COVID-19 for the decision. Public prayer in the house of God has been outlawed. Of course, for the public good. See the pattern?

And now this. A prominent physician in Australia, Dr. Kristin Small, has made news by calling for renaming body parts and diseases. The female physician calls her mission an effort to “decolonize” the language of medicine by getting rid of 700 medical terms, most named after male doctors. And guess which body part draws the most ire? The Adam’s apple. Because – and you can’t make this up – it was named after the biblical Adam. To be accurate, we don’t know that the fruit which Adam and Eve ate was an apple. That is myth. But it was an act of disobedience, sin against the Lord’s commands.

This creeping exclusion of Christianity from any place in modern life is designed to marginalize all Christian influences. Expelling God from every aspect of life, leaves room for demons to fill that void. Getting rid of Adam’s apple by calling it misogynistic is one more way of eradicating any reminder of humanity’s connection to a creator God. Demons want a world in which the only god will be the Antichrist, and we’re moving quickly in that direction.

George Washington. Thomas Jefferson. Theodore Roosevelt. Abraham Lincoln. Those are the great Americans whose likenesses are carved in granite on Mount Rushmore, in South Dakota. This symbol of freedom, democracy, and the American dream draws more than three million visitors a year. Now, this colossal sculpture is in danger of being blown up. Because two of these presidents were slave holders, some activists want it dynamited to smithereens. The most prominent backer of this scheme is none other than Kimberly Ford, the great-granddaughter of Gutzon Borglum, who carved Mt. Rushmore.

Why? She argues that the monument violates “sacred Native American Land.” And, according to Ford, the faces look out upon the location where Native Americans believe that Mother Earth is believed to breathe. She condemns her great-grandfather for carving a monument that is “symbolic of white, male leaders who have utterly, aggressively failed enormous swans of people who lived on this continent before them.”

I don’t know whether to laugh or feel disgust at this politically correct, “woke” agenda. New Age and occult believes obviously motivate her conclusions. Her idea of sacralizing “Mother Earth” is witchcraft. This thinking is part of the New Age Gaia (Earth worship) movement which believes that the Earth is a living goddess. In Romans 1:25, the Apostle Paul speaks of those who “exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator.”    

Mt. Rushmore is a national treasure remembering men who sacrificed much for our freedoms. Its rejection is based on idolatrous ideas rooted in paganism. Ford’s plea that land is sacred is pantheism, the belief that God and the universe are one and that deity dwells in all living things, even the inanimate. My advice to Ford is, “Go hug a tree, but don’t mess with the rights of patriotic Americans who revere real heroes, even flawed ones.” Mother Earth, the goddess of dirt under our feet, is a demonic concept of witchcraft, not a reason to blow up Mt. Rushmore.

COVID-19 has brought us a lot of things: mandatory face masks, stay-in-place sheltering, closed churches, and record unemployment; and now, with coronavirus as a justification, legal domestic partnerships with sexual couplings of three or more. A week ago, the city of Somerville, Massachusetts, became the first city in America to legalize polyamorous relationships. Polyamory is engaging simultaneously in multiple forms of sexual relationships of any gender with mutual consent of all involved. (In contrast, polygamy is almost always exclusively heterosexual.) The logic of the city council was that polyamorous individuals should have the right to visit non-marital sexual partners who might be sick with coronavirus in the hospital.

And what’s next? If polyamory, why not polygamy and incest? In fact, the mostly Mormon state of Utah just recently lowered the punishment for polygamy from the status of a felony punishable by a prison term to an infraction the equivalent of a traffic ticket. The Mormon church made so-called “plural marriages” part of church doctrine in 1852. In 1890 the practice was officially abandoned as a requirement for attaining statehood. Today, the LDS has come full circle.

For millennia, marriage has been viewed as the spiritual and civil bonding of a man and woman. On June 26, 2015, with the encouragement of President Barak Obama, the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision legalized gay marriage. On June 15, 2020, this same court in a 6-3 decision expanded rights to those of self-identified genders, a decision sure to upend locker rooms, bathrooms, and the use of pronouns. Is polyamory next? By the logic of the Supreme court, why should any sexual coupling for any reason fail to have full legal status? Are gay rights activists willing to oppose incest and polyamory? Where on this slippery slope should any anchor be placed?

All the issues related to these matters are too complicated to dissect in a short blog, but I must point out that polygamy is a form of incest. The women in such arrangements are known as “sister-wives.” In many cases involving fundamentalist Mormon groups, polygamous brides are well below the legal age of consent. Combining them into one sisterhood is a form of incest. Polyamory is also a variant of incest, especially if legally sanctioned. As an exorcist, I can tell you from experience that incest demons are some of the nastiest, most powerful evil spirits in the kingdom of darkness. If the legalization of threesomes, foursomes, and who knows how many more “somes” are recognized legally, that will be a fatal spiritual blow to America. Jesus warned in Matthew 24:37 that the End Times would be like the days of Noah. We have arrived at that point, and the city council of Somerville, Massachusetts is the canary in the moral coal mine of the apocalypse.  

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!
