Supernatural, The Life of William Branham, Book 3, The Man and His Commission (1946-1950)
Biography by Owen Jorgensen Book may be obtained from Tucson Tabernacle, Tucson, Arizona.
Branham found that he could not single handedly meet the increasing needs of those who needed a healing touch from Jesus, so he mailed out ribbon that he prayed over as he cut each 4" strip. He based his work on the scriptural example of the the apostle Paul. Subsequently, many recipients were healed.
Branham also supplied handkerchiefs at church, when preaching per The Revelation of the 7 Seals, chapter 4. www.branham.org
Liardon, Roberts in God's Generals chapter 10 William Branham - A Man of Notable Signs and Wonders points out that Branham prayed over handkerchiefs to be carried to the afflicted.

Copeland, Kenneth John G Lake www.kcm.org
Chapter 29 Science of Healing section Lake and Divine Healing Investigated shares healing of Constance Hoag damaged kneecap by application of handkerchief that had been prayed over.
Chapter 44 Adventures in Religion - Radio Sermon 10 contends that the Holy Spirit is a tangible material that can be transmuted. Not only can it be be carried/transported/released for another's healing, it/He can also be present in clothing so that clothing does not age nor the person become diseased, as occurred to the Israelites during their 40 years in the desert under the leadership of Moses. When the Holy Spirit enters our bodies and unites with our DNA the enemy/disease must flee in the presence of God, for those who believe.

Deckard, Tom E Two Anointed Handkerchiefs November 2004 http://www.jewishprophet.com
In Malawi, Africa God instructed Deckard to lay anointed handkerchiefs on individuals and NOT to speak, "in the name of Jesus. Healings were many. Newsletter also discusses Elijah's and Elisha's mantle, which was anointed.

Hickey, Marilyn Wow Faith Marilyn Hickey Ministries
Chapter 9 Real People, Real Faith shares the biography of Marilyn's dad, who was healed of a nervous breakdown by her mom's laying on of a handkerchief, as directed by an evangelist.

Von Stamwitz, Alicia Celebrating Saint Gerard Majella by in 10/04 Liguorian magazine www.liguorian.org God is reputed to have protected a child during birth by the use of Italian Brother Gerard's (1726-1755) handkerchief being placed on the womb and to have multiplied food for the poor (through Gerard's intervention). Because of Gerard's struggles with faith and depression he was able to be an empathetic counselor.

Wigglesworth, Smith Ever Increasing Faith www.whitakerhouse.com
This book indicates that many were healed through the application of handkerchiefs. One story recounts a wife tucking a prayed over handkerchief into the pillow case of her alcoholic husband. After having slept on the pillow case, the husband found he could no longer tolerate alcohol. Another incidence is that of an unemployed son who slept on a prayed over handkerchief placed in a pillowcase by his mom. Yes, the next day the son sought and got a job.

Woodworth-Etter, Maria Signs and Wonders publisher www.whitakerhouse.com
Chapter 59 Fighting the Good Fight shares that a handkerchief, prayed over by Maria's ministry, chased evil spirits away from a bedroom, replacing them with a guardian angel.

There are many ministries that that follow the example of Acts 19:11-12,
including Cal Pierce's Healing Rooms in Spokane, Washington, USA www.healingrooms.com
and Francis and Charles Hunter's Hunter Ministry in Kingwood, Texas, USA www.healingexplosion.net

APRONS

Acts 19:11-12 God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the EVIL SPIRITs left them.

2nd Kings 20:5-6 NIV This is what the Lord...says, "I have heard your prayers and seen your tears; I will heal you...I will add 15 years to your life."
2nd Kings 20:9-11 NIV Isaiah answered (Hezekiah), "This is the Lord's sign to you that the Lord will do what He has promised. "Shall the shadow go forward 10 steps, or shall it go back 10 steps?'
"It is a simple matter for the shadow to go forward 10 steps," said Hezekiah. "Rather, have it go back 10 steps." Then the prophet called upon the Lord, and the Lord made the shadow go back the 10 steps it had gone down on the stairs of Ahaz."

Psalm 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Acts 5:15-16 KJV They brought forth the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. There came also a multitude out of the cities round abut Jerusalem, bringing sick folks and them which were vexed with unclean spirits; they were healed every one.

PUBLICATIONS

Ever Increasing Faith by Smith Wigglesworth says that it was NOT the shadow of Peter that healed ALL people; rather it was the faith of the people joined with the power of the Holy Spirit that cured.

Tenney, Tommy    The God Chasers     www.godchasers.net   Chapter 8 The Purpose of His Presence shares that "the Hebrews believed that the anointing would extend as far as your shadow reached."

Ferrell, Ana Mendez    Order Ana's "Eat My Flesh, Drink My Blood" book + "The Power of His Blood" CD #9012     http://www.voiceofthelight.com/    http://www.sidroth.org/  Ana infers (and Pastor Anne www.partoranne.org contends) that the shadow of the Apostles is really one's inner glow of God's glory beaming out to heal. Remember, even Moses glowed after God ministered to him on the mountain. It could have been glory dust on the outside, but it could also be one's communion with God, where man's spirit unites with God's Spirit. Glory dust is seen in numerous ministries more and more.

DVD is for those who want to come under the covering of this ministry. Presentation discusses our being under the (feathers and) shadow of the Almighty as it was over Mary at her conception.

Joshua 6:2-5 TNAB 2To Joshua the Lord said, "I have (already in heaven) delivered Jericho (on earth) and its king into your power. 3Have all the soldiers circle the city, marching once around it. Do this for 6 days, 4with the 7 priests carrying ram's horns (shofars) ahead of the ark. On the 7th day march around the city 7 times, and have the priests blow the horns. 5When they give a long blast on the ram's horns (shofar) and you hear that signal, all the people shall shout aloud. The wall of the city will collapse, and they will be able to make a frontal attack."
Joshua 6:34 NKJV The Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon; then he blew the trumpet (to war).

Heidler, Robert D The Messianic Church Arising www.gloryofzion.org
Subtitle = Restoring the Church to Our Covenant Roots
"God's instruction for observing this feast (of Trumpets) is to HEAR the sound of a shofar (a ram's horn)...God designed the sound of the shofar to awaken something in your spirit."
"Go and listen to the shofar" in a "church or messianic synagogue that celebrates this feast...If you don't know of a place where a shofar will be blown, listen to a CD of a shofar blast!"

Chapter 9 The Sword shares that on a certain day at a certain time the Lord said, "Now is the time." An individual blew the shofar battle cry into the heavens. Strength and courage came as a spiritual leader began to verbally dismantle the strongman over the Indian Reservation. No more suicide attempts or actual suicides occurred for almost 3 years.

Mark 7:33-35 TPNT 33After He took him privately aside from the crowd, He cast His fingers into his ears; after He spit, He touched his tongue. 34Then He looked up into the sky, signed, saying to him in Hebrew, "Hippatach," that is, (as fulfillment of Isaiah 61:1 Messianic prophecy) "You must right now be opened." 35Immediately his hearing did open, the bondage of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking correctly.
(TPNT notes that, "The spittle of the first-born son of the father was believed to have healing power.")

Mark 8:22-25 TPNT 22They brought to Him a blind man and begged Him that He would touch him. 23Taking the hand of the blind man, He led him outside the village. Having spit in his eyes, He placed His hands on him. He was asking, "Do you see anything?" 24When he looked up he was saying, "I see men that are as trees walking." 25Then He again laid hands upon his eyes. He stared straight ahead, was restored, and looking at everything clearly.

Schambach, RW and Donna (daughter) http://www.schambach.org
10/1990 Messianic Vision radio interview by Sid Roth of RW Schambach testimony of healings at AA Allen service.
CD #1088 from www.sidroth.org
In addition to the testimonies on the above CD, Schambach has many other healing tales. For instance, one lady refused to take/receive her healing until Schambach spit into her blind eyes. He finally consented and God healed her blindness. Another time a girl wanted Schambach to carry M&M candy in his pocket, instead of/in addition to prayer cloths, being impregnated with the Holy Spirit, during his ministry services. He finally consented and subsequently returned the candy to her. She took that candy to her sister institutionalized in a mental hospital for 20 years. The next time Schambach saw the sister, her sister was with her, discharged from the hospital, cured.

Numbers 12:14 KJVer The Lord said to Moses, "If her father has put spit in her face, should she not be ashamed 7 days; Let her be shut out from the camp 7 days; after that let her be received in again."

Matthew 26:67 TPNT They spit in His face, they struck Him with their fists, and they slapped Him saying, "You must prophesy to us, Messiah; who is the one who is hitting You?".

                                                    Prayer Shawl corner TASSELS

Numbers 15:37-40 NIV    37The Lord said to Moses, 38"Speak to the Israelites and say to them, 'Throughout the generations to come you (and your descendants) are to (must) make tassels (fringes/tsitsit/kraspedon) on the corners (boarders/hem) of your (outer) garments (currently represented by a prayer shawl/talit/tallit/tzitzit/mantle in which one wraps oneself in a prayer closet, God's Word and blessings as one prays), with a blue (violet) cord on each tassel. 39You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the Lord, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by going after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes. 40Then you will remember to obey all My commands and will be consecrated to your God.'"
Deuteronomy 22:12 TNAB    "You shall put (longer) twisted cords (tassels) on the 4 corners of the cloak (prayer shawl) that you wrap around you."
Psalm 91:1-4 NKJV    1He Who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust." 3Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. 4He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings (kanaph/wings of protection/corners/corner knotted fringes/tsitsiot www.rr-bb.com/archive/index.php/t-181570.html 1/7/2005) you shall take refuge. (Also see Ruth 2:12, Psalm 17:8)
Malachi 4:2 NKJV To you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings (covering/corner knotted fringes).
Matthew 9:20-22 TNAB    20A woman suffering hemorrhages for 12 years came up behind Him and touched the tassel on His cloak. 21She said to herself, "If only I can touch His cloak, I shall be cured." 22Jesus turn around and saw her, and said, "Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you." From that hour the woman was cured.
Matthew 14:34-36 TNAB    34After making the crossing (by boat), they (Jesus and His disciples) came to land at Gennesaret. 35When the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought to Him all those who were sick 36and begged Him that they might touch only the (corner) tassel on His cloak; as many as touched it were healed.
Matthew 23:5 NIV They make their phylacteries (boxes containing scripture verses, worn on forehead and arm) wide and the tassels (prayer shawl corner fringes) on their garments long.
Matthew 25:36 TPNT   "I was poorly clothed and you clothed Me (in an outer garment/prayer shawl)."
Mark 5:41-42 TPNT    41When He took the hand of the child, He said to her, "Prayer shawl, rise!" 42Immediately the girl rose and walked, for she was 12 years old. (TPNT Glossary-Prayer Shawl-
"In that case He would have placed His prayer shawl over the girl, then spoken to the prayer shawl.")
Mark 6:56 TNAB    Whatever villages, towns or countryside He entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him that they might touch only the (long corner) tassel on His cloak (prayer shawl/outer garment); as many touched it were healed.
(Tassel/tsitsit carries the tsitsiot (plural) which have 39 windings separated by double knots - Yeshua/Messiah/Christ took 39 stripes for our healing. Tallit is the hem of His garment...According to Jewish numerology/gematria, each letter of the alphabet represents a numeral, the number of windings of the tsitsit represent: YHVH = 26 ECHAD = 13; 26 + 13 = 39; YHVH ECHAD = GOD IS ONE www.rr-bb.com/archive/index.php/t-181570.html 1/7/2005)
Luke 8:43-46 KJVer    43A woman having an issue of blood 12 years, who had spent all her living (earnings/wages/income) upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, 44came behind Him and touched the border (corner longest knotted fringe/tsitsit) of His (outer) garment (prayer shawl). (Luke 8:44 TNAB says "tassle of His cloak")   The Hem of His Garment     http://www.rbooker.com/html/the_hem_of_his_garment.html Immediately her issue of blood stanched (stopped). 45Jesus said, "Who touched Me?'' All denied. Peter and those who were with Him said, "Master, the multitude throng and press You. You ask, "Who touched Me?" 46Jesus said, "Somebody has touched Me, for I perceive that virtue (power) is gone out of Me."
John 20:5-7 TPNT    5When he stooped sideways he saw the linen cloths lying, nevertheless he did not enter. 6Then Simon Peter also came, following him, and he entered the tomb, and saw the cloths lying, 7and the face cloth (napkin/handkerchief), which had been on His head, not lying with the cloths but being folded up separately in one place. (John Hagee contends that the folded up cloth is the prayer shawl. 11/14/2006 Kenneth Copeland broadcast Dialup Broadband Download MP3 )
Acts 18:2-3 TPNT    2Paul came to them, 3and because they they were in the same trade he was staying with them, and he was working; for they all were prayer shawl makers by trade.
(TPNT footnote "Prayer shawl making required rabbinic training that all 3 had...Jewish men referred to the prayer shawl as a "tent or prayer closet", because it was placed over the head to shield the eyes while praying.) (Additional insight = Paul was a "tent maker"...Jesus said to go into your prayer closet; for the Jews this meant to go under your prayer shawl/tent!)
Matthew 6:6 TPNT     "When you would pray, you must go into your secret room; after you lock your door, pray to your Father, to the One in secret; then your Father, the One Who sees in secret, will reward you."
1st Corinthians 11:14-15 TPNT    14Does not nature (also Roman custom) teach you this, that if a man on the one hand has long hair it is a disgrace to him, 15but on the other hand for a woman it is her glory? Because the hair was given to her as an ornament in place of a prayer shawl. (TPNT Glossary-Prayer Shawl-"Paul was clearly saying that women were given long hair instead of a prayer shawl.")

Fordham Medieval Sourcebook - Adamnan - Life of St Columba www.fordham.edu/halsall/basis/columba-e.html
Chapter 3 - Ernene, son of Crasen "came forward stealthily, that he might touch unperceived even the hem of the cloak which the blessed man wore." St Columba "putting his hand behind him, he seized the boy...He said, 'My son, open they mouth and put out they tongue.'...Carefully blessing it (St Columba) pronounced his prophecy...'Though this body appears to you now very contemptible and worthless, let no one on that account despise him. For from this hour, not only will he not displease you, but he will give you every satisfaction; from day to day he shall advance in degrees in good conduct, and in the virtues of the soul. From this day, wisdom and prudence shall be more and more increased in him; great shall be his progress in this your community. His tongue also shall receive from God the gift of both wholesome doctrine and eloquence.'"

Book 2 chapter 34 Columba took from the river Nesa (the Ness) a white stone which he blessed. For the lifetime of King Brude it not only floated on water but cured anyone who (with clean conscience) drank the water (from a goblet) in which the stone was placed.
Revelation 2:12 NKJV    "To the church in Pergamos write, 'These things says He who has the sharp 2 edged sword.'"
Revelation 2:17 NKJV    "'He who as an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. I will give him a white stone; on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.'"

Copeland, Kenneth John G Lake www.kcm.org
Lake had the habit of praying with his helpers over all his newsletters. They prayed that the message of Christ would be received in the reading of the literature and that the very substance of the paper itself would become filled with the Spirit of God, just like the handkerchiefs became filled with the Spirit of God in the New Testament. Inevitably, the recipients would encounter God. One lady in South America vibrated every time she touched the newsletter; next she was baptized in the Holy Spirit. Many healings resulted upon the receipt of these newsletters.
Chapter 31 The Power of Divine Healing contends that God's Holy Spirit is a tangible heavenly substance that can be stored, as in a battery, and later transmitted from the item to the sick person, thus healing or delivering.
Chapter 40 Christian Consciousness shares items God used in the Old Testament to impart His healing or miracle Holy Spirit power - stick in 2nd Kings 6:4-7, staff in 2nd Kings 4:29, bones in 2nd Kings 13:21.

Liardon, Roberts God's Generals www.robertsliardon.com
Chapter 6 John G Lake, A Man of Healing shares that before mailing the church newsletters Lake's church members would lay hands on them. "One lady said that when she held the newsletter, 'she vibrated' in such as way that she could hardly sit in her chair. She was then baptized in the Holy Spirit and spoke in other tongues."

Mentoring book on the use/application/testimonies/power of blessed salt and/or water.

MacNutt, Francis Deliverance from Evil Spirits www.christianhealingmin.org
Chapter 19 Deliverance through Blessed Objects cites Linn's book. Shows how evil spirits react violently to blessed salt/water/oil as opposed to unblessed. Note, the evil spirit and not the individual reacts. Be reminded that it is the Holy Spirit and not the object that affects the enemy.

Medieval Sourcebook - Adamnan's Life of St Columba http://www.fordham.edu/hassall/basis/columba-e.html
Book 2 Chapter 6 "By merely stretching out his holy hand, or by the sprinkling of the sick with the water blessed by him, or by the their receiving his blessing on anything, as, for instance, on bread or salt, and dipping it in water, they who believed recovered perfect health."

REMINDER All spirits do NOT have a body. They look to seek an container in which to dwell to reveal/express themselves. Holy Spirit or evil spirits. So when the Holy Spirit impregnates/indwells/lives/visits anything, He, NOT the container/communion wafer/sacrament, is the spiritual power. Likewise, when an evil spirit oppresses outside or dwells/ possesses/visits/vacations inside something, it also expresses its own nature and not the nature of its container, whether it be inanimate (idol/doll/ toy/cartoon/music/book) or living (animal/pet/human/virus/bacteria).

Zechariah 3:1-5 NIV 1He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. 2The Lord said to Satan, "The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord Who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?" 3Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. 4The angel said to those who were standing before him, "Take off his filthy clothes." Then he said to Joshua, "See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you." 5Then I said, "Put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.

Jude 23 TPNT Save others, as you snatch them from fire, and on others have mercy in fear, hating even the tunic (clothing) that has been stained by the (corrupted) flesh (and possibly indwelt by evil spirits).

Kelley, Earthquake Order book #1122 "Bound to Lose, Destined to Win" http://earthquakekelleyministries.org/books/
Chapter 1 - Life with a Wicked Man - "Having so much demonic activity in our home caused evil spirits to manifest before my eyes...Demonic spirits attach themselves to items that are used for occult purposes, so even though this witch was not in my bedroom at night, the room still came alive with demonic spirits. Grotesque and deformed creatures shook my bed, appeared in my closet, and came out from underneath my bed...One spirit, which through my voodoo training I learned was a waster spirit, sometimes chased me through the house at night...Evil spirits tormented me all night, every night. When I finally fell asleep, I had nightmares...For 11 years straight, I was so tormented by these spirits that I slept no more than 2 hours a night...I did not have a good night's rest until I gave my life to Christ."
Chapter 9 Who's Watching the Children - "I heard something tapping on the side of my bed...I turned on the light and didn't see anything. Then the Holy Spirit said to me, 'It's the toys in the box.' I threw those toys away immediately and the tapping stopped. Evil spirits attach themselves to these kinds of demonic toys...If the toy looks demonic, it probably is."
"When I was young, I was watching television late one night and saw a demonic spirit jump out of the television and jump back in."

Who Wants to Live in a Haunted House? Charisma magazine Subtitle = Is the atmosphere in your home polluted? It may be time for a spiritual housecleaning. Smith, Eddie & Alice 11/2003 editorial www.charismamag.com
"The supernatural, or 'spirit world,' is real. It exists alongside the natural world. Sharing your home - along with you and your family - may be angelic and demonic spirits alike."
"Demonic spirits seem to crave a material presence. They continuously search for physical objects - human or animal bodies or objects made of wood or stone" to inhabit. They compete with the Holy Spirit for occupancy. However, the Holy Spirit is ALWAYS superior. In 1990 a Haitian voodoo conference was held at a Houston, Texas, USA hotel main ballroom, resulting the staff subsequently being affected adversely. The Smiths were enlisted to remedy the situation. Upon entering the room, they found the atmosphere to be "oppressive, as if the room were filled with a million angry, invisible hornets swarming...Quietly we began to pray. As Nehemiah repented on behalf of others (see Nehemiah 1:6), we repented to God for what had happened in that room just days before. We asked God to remove the defilement. Then with authority we told the evil spirits to leave. Suddenly, the demons departed, and soon the room felt pure and clean."

"We are very clearly commanded to not make any idols, statues, or images of worship.
We are not to take into our house any objects that have been dedicated to the worship of false objects –
such an object is cursed and abomination to the Lord.
To keep such an object is to invite the presence of demons (to inhabit these objects) and the judgment of God.
Remove the following from your homes, work place, and city (if possible):

Supposedly Christian objects of worship – statues or images of Jesus, Mary, the Madonna & child, and saints,
venerated relics such as bones, hair, holy grails etc, or any other object that is worshipped.
Occultic or pagan statues, art, paintings, magazines, charms, medallions, pendants, rings, mutis,
sacred stones, nyami-nyamis, scarab beetles from Egypt etc.
New Age objects – crystals, pyramids, unicorns, instruments
used in channelling, holistic healing (derived from non Judeo/Christian religious practices/roots),
meditating (emptying/vacating one's mind), yoga, UFO’s, aliens.
False religion or cult material – African masks…beware of curios (gifts) , artefacts (or antiques) bought from pagan countries.
Satanic and hard rock (music) covers –
pentagrams, coffins, chains, skulls, goats heads, upside down crosses; jewellery, albums, posters, clothing.
Occultic games – Dungeons&Dragons, magic (tarot) cards, ouija boards, some video/computer games.
Occultic cartoon characters or toys, e.g. pokemons, Harry Potter, Masters of the Universe...etc.
Good-luck charms, ankhs, astrological symbols, amulets, talisman, fetishes (objects of obsession or fixation e.g. frogs, owls, scorpions, dragons, spiders, Buddha’s, etc), crystals (story of Megan feeling heat in choosing crystals).
All forms of pornography.
Drugs or alcohol (if it’s a problem)
Martial arts – karate, Tai Kwan Do, Jujitsu...etc.

Nigerian man with ring from juju doctor, Deliverance From Evil Spirits, pg 119. 'Sorcery is the use of cursed objects to influence people. I remember praying for deliverance for a man in Nigeria who had gone berserk in a prayer meeting. When we started to pray for him, one of his hands began to shake uncontrollably. When we looked more closely, we found he was wearing a strange ring. He told us a juju doctor had given it to him. We asked him to take it off, and when he did, the shaking stopped.

Seductions Exposed, teenage Dracula pg 37. The headline in the Weekly World News of June 18, 1983, read Teenage Dracula Bites 30 Children. According to the amazing article,
“Dozens of panic-stricken children shrieked in pain and terror as a real-life Dracula chased them down on the school ground and sank his teeth into their flesh. When the schoolyard horror ended, 30 youngsters, bleeding and hysterical, were rushed to a hospital where they were treated for shock, severe bite wounds and were given anti-infection inoculations. The nightmare attack was carried out by a 14-year-old student that police in Cleveland, England, would identify only as James. They said he went berserk shortly after he had watched a bloody Dracula movie on a local television station. He charged through the schoolyard during morning recess grabbing small children, holding them down and biting into their arms as they writhed in agony. ‘It was just like the movie, it was spooky,’ said one of the boy’s classmates, Angela Simmons, 13, ‘He went wild and started attacking and biting the younger kids.’
Out of the thousands of young people who probably watched that same Dracula movie, why did James “go berserk?” I suspect that he was not raised in a Christian home, under the covering and protection of godly parents, and that he was particularly susceptible to a transference in the area of horror movies because of his particular heredity and personality. The Bible warns us that Satan looks for opportunities to kill, steal and destroy us.
1Peter 5:8 (in scripture) sternly cautions,
'Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about , seeking whom he may devour.'

Seductions Exposed, D&D and occult toys pg 158…159. Some time ago, I received a letter from a woman who had decided to burn her children’s 'Dungeons & Dragons' game after hearing me speak on its occultic nature. In spite of the protest of her children, she threw the game pieces in an (incinerator) incubator. As she did so, horrendous, bloodcurdling screams were heard from the fire. The children were instantly convinced that the game was evil.

Another area where children are being bombarded with the occult is through cartoons, movies, and the toy industry. Many of the cartoons on television and the associated toys in stores everywhere are blatantly occultic while others subtly carry occultic overtones. Magic and witchcraft are portrayed as normal ways to deal with problems and overcome obstacles. In a world where true heroes are few and far between, children easily gravitate to these imaginary heroes with their magical powers. Characters like ET, He-Man, and She-Ra become more real, powerful, and exciting to them than any real-life people or Bible characters. One child I know of was recently overheard shouting, 'He-Man is more powerful than Jesus!'

Since all these cartoon and movie characters display great power obtained through occultic rituals, they simply pave the way for children to seek such power in their own lives…often they seek, the diabolical door to demonic oppression is once again opened.

Many of these toys and cartoon characters are simply modern versions of pagan gods that were worshipped in heathen cultures before the advent of Christianity. These ancient pagan gods are merely physical representations of Satan and his demonic forces that were originally worshipped in rites involving human and animal sacrifice. (Many evil spirits carry the names of such gods and attempt to demonstrate/express like personality in the children which they oppress. Such demons can enter a child from TV watching)

Seductions Exposed, amulet on necklace pg 160. Because Satan cannot legally touch or afflict Christians, he often tricks them into cursing themselves. Good luck charms, ankhs, astrological symbols, and other jewelry with occultic overtones open up avenues for demonic attack and also hinder deliverance. Pastor David King shared how he prayed for a young woman who was severely oppressed and seemingly could not receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. As he ministered to her, he noticed that she was wearing a particular necklace with an amulet on it. Sensing that it was occultic, he asked her to remove it and placed it in his pocket. As he again prayed for her the oppression left. Almost immediately she was joyously filled with the Holy Spirit and began praising God with new freedom in her heavenly language. When Pastor King arrived home that night, he showed the amulet to his wife, and together they decided to burn it. As they threw it into their fireplace, they both heard a horrible bloodcurdling scream!

Seductions Exposed, owl fetish pg 163-164. I received an interesting letter some time ago from a young couple who had at one time possessed a total of 123 owl objects. In the beginning, although they were very young, they both had good jobs and seemed to be prospering in every way. But the wife became obsessed with owls and soon began filling the home with them. Then things began to go sour. They lost their jobs and their marriage began to disintegrate. The wife even lost her desire to live and began to sleep much of the time. One day a brother of the young man who had heard my message on fetishes, including owls and frogs, told them that they could be cursing themselves with all those owls. At first they laughed at him but the husband soon decided to try an experiment. He removed all the owls from their bedroom without telling his wife. Three days later, he asked her if she had noticed a change in the atmosphere. To her amazement they had not fought for three days and actually had begun to talk to one another. They became convinced that the owls had something to do with the curses upon their marriage and prosperity. After they had removed the owls from their home, god not only restored their marriage, but their prosperity as well.

Seductions Exposed, statue of Jesus pg 166…167. Bob Curry, told me some startling stories that completely convinced me of the dangers of even possessing these statues. Bob shared that he had dinner one night in a home where the lady of the house has a five- foot statue of Jesus. When he was in her home, she admitted that she had been confused by his message about idols and images. She said, “I’m Catholic, but this statue of Jesus bothers me. Is it wrong for me to have this?” Bob opened the scriptures to Exodus and Deuteronomy and shared with her what the Word says about these statues and images. Immediately, she wanted to get rid of the Jesus statue so a team of four young missionaries came to pick it up and curry it out. To their astonishment, they could not lift the small five- foot statue. Bob’s secretary who was a very strong, athletic young man went over and also tried to pick it up with equally poor success. He soon became very ill and asked to be taken to his hotel where he became deathly sick. In prayer, the Lord revealed to Bob that a “Spirit of heaviness” had attached itself to the young man. Later, he was completely delivered as Bob and the others rebuked the demonic forces afflicting him. Interestingly, the lady later called Bob and told him that she had contacted the catholic church, and they had send over two teenage boys who picked up the statue and carried off with ease!

Seductions Exposed, jade Buddha and evangelist pg 169-170. One of my former pastors, Cecil Humphrey, shared about a very popular television evangelist who was in great financial distress, needing over a million dollars to pay for airtime and other expenses. A very influential and wealthy family donated over a million dollars worth of Oriental jewelry to his ministry including a beautiful jade Buddha worth approximately four hundred thousand dollars. The collection was worth enough to pay the evangelist’s creditors, but he was aware of the scriptural commands not to associate with occultic objects. When the evangelist shared with the donor why he could not accept the occultic jewelry, the man said he could not give it to anyone else either and asked the evangelist to help him destroy the objects. They took a sledgehammer and with the first blow disintegrated the Buddha. As they did so, the donor’s wife came running out of their palatial home, wanting to know what they were doing. She said the pain and torment she had been suffering for many years had instantly gone from her body. They left the same moment the Buddha was destroyed. Not only did the oppression and affliction leave the household, but the evangelist later received the needed finances from other sources

What to do:
Repent of all occult involvement.
Remove occult objects with owner’s permission and destroy them.
Command every spirit to leave in the Name of Jesus.
Ask the Lord to fill the house. If you like anoint with oil."
