The masthead at the top of today’s blog, was a memorable photo in 2008. The hands are those of Barack Obama, who was then running for President. He holds good luck charms which he had collected, including a small statue of Hanuman, the four armed Hindu monkey god. President Obama recently visited Asia. Much of the attention was focused on his assurances of American military presence in light of new aggressiveness from both North Korea and China. What most media overlooked was the spiritual significance of his travels. Along with the obligatory banquets, speeches, and press conferences, the President took time to display his eclectic religious belief. He regularly reminds people that he is a “Christian” but goes out of his way to be syncretistic. In India he danced with Hindus to celebrate Diwali, an important holy day for Hindus. This may be seen as honoring the local culture of a country. But it seems that he’s making more of a universalist emphasis — that all religions are equally important and valid; that all faiths are one and that differences must be ignored in theology and conviction.

 

He is the President, and he should send a message that we respect all peoples and faiths. But helping to light a sacred fire to the Hindu goddess Lakshmi (wife of Vishnu, one of the three main Hindu gods), a demon I’ve dealt with, is a bit much for me. (Some Diwali rituals are directed at Ganesh the elephant god.) Diwali may be considered benignly as a “festival of lights,” but it’s better understood in Hinduism as the dispelling of ignorance with the transcendent experience of oneness with the universal god. Some Hindus worship not Lakshmi on this occasion but Kali (aka Jezebel), a decidedly virulent demon I’ve faced many occasions. Perhaps you think I make too much of this, but as an exorcist, watching our President pay homage to a demon, though he doubtless has no idea what he’s doing, isn’t a pleasant sight. And ignorance of participating in a religious ritual is no excuse for the curse it can cause on him and on our country. First Corinthians 10:20 makes it plain that the worship of false gods is the worship of demons.

He’s become known more for his bad behavior than his music, a male Miley Cyrus. Wild parties, strip clubs, smoking weed (and maybe more), temper tantrums, sexually alluring photos,  DUI arrests, erotic gestures on stage, arrogance, and now using the “N” word and talking about joining the KKK and killing black people. Okay, the latter comes from a video he did five years ago. He has issued the spin doctor requisite apology and supposedly has Will Smith and Usher on his side. This will probably blow over, but what’s really upsetting is this. He’s using the Bible and his supposed Christian faith to gloss it over. The Instagram post above was sent to his millions of followers, using Scripture as a grace cover for his stupidity. His mom, Pattie Mallette, claims to be a Christian and has even written a book about her and her boy, Nowhere but Up. In the book she describes constant sexual abuse as a child, starting at age three. She was date-raped at 14. She also used drugs, including LSD, shoplifted, and attempted suicide. In a mental ward she became a Christian, but fell into a sexual relationship and conceived Justin illegitimately. Bieber has been seen attending cool, seeker-friendly, hip churches in New York and Seattle in the midst of his outrageous escapades.

What is to be made of all this? First, I’m not judging the relationship with Christ he and his mother may or may not have. God alone knows. But behavior can certainly be judged, and the facts can be considered. From my perspective as an exorcist, Justin Bieber lives under an unbroken curse of illegitimacy. The churches he frequents deny such curses exist so he won’t get help there. His mother’s vulnerability to sexual abuse and suicide indicates a huge generational curse in her family bloodline. My heart goes out to both of them. They are only going to experience more and more dysfunction until someone with the knowledge of spiritual warfare steps in and takes action on their behalf.  Bieber can tweet and Instagram all the Bible verses he wants, but until he is delivered from the demons that torment his destiny, expect more erratic, bad boy behavior.
