RESIST WICKED SPIRIT FORCES

HOW WICKED SPIRITS TRY TO  MISLEAD YOU

What is spiritism?  It is involvement with demons, or wicked spirits, either directly or through a human medium/psychic.  Spiritism does for demons what bait does for hunters:  It attracts prey. And just as a hunter uses a variety of baits to  lure animals into his trap, so wicked spirits encourage various forms of spiritism to bring human under their control.  (Compare Psalm 119:110)  Some of these forms are divination, magic, looking for omens, sorcery, binding with spells, consulting mediums, cults that worship the Devil, and inquiring of the dead. 

The bait works, for spiritism attracts people around the  world. Those living in jungle villages got o medicine men, and city office workers consult astrologers. Spiritism flourishes even in s0-called Christian lands. Research indicates that in the United States alone, some 30 magazines with a combined circulation of over 10,000,000 are devoted to various forms of spiritism.  Brazilians spend over 500 million dollars on spiritistic  items each year.  Yet, 80 percent of those frequenting spiritistic centers of worship in that country are baptized Catholics who also attend Mass. Inasmuch as some clergymen practice spiritism, many religious people think that practicing it is acceptable to God. But is it? (No! never)
