The newspapers are loaded with propaganda. There was a little thing in the paper this morning that somebody handed me, a little ad, 'Gifted spiritualist. Please call for consultation.' It gives a phone number, 'Come and see this lady who has God-given powers.' And there's a picture of Jesus Christ here. 'She has never failed to help and will tell you what you want to know.' This is a very common thing today. We see a tremendous surge in the whole occult area. Now, I do not propose myself to you as any expert. I am not an expert. I only know what I learn in the Bible. Outside of that, I have very little experience in the examination of these other matters. And so for that which was gleaned tonight, I am indebted, not only to a limited amount of research on my own part, but to various books that have been a great help to me, and I'd like to stop a moment to give them credit. Demons in the World Todayby Unger, Between Christ and Satanby Kurt Koch, Angels of Lightby Hobart Freeman, The Fortune Seekersby Gary Wilburn, and What About Horoscopes?by Joe Bayly. A dear brother in Christ, John Weldon, who's recently done a lotta research, has been sharing some things with me.

Confusing It seems that he is believing every claim of demonic activity that people proposing. Just because people claim demons helped them write a book doesn’t mean they did. It could have been a marketing scheme. We don’t believe it when people claim they went to Heaven. Why give these claims so much credit? All people who are not children of God are under the control of Satan. However, superstitions, horoscopes and and fortune tellers are often as wrong in their predictions. I believe dabbling in which craft is wrong and forbidden by scripture.

Great Sermon! Very good information on the occult and 35 years later it is much worse. It has taken over the children's books and movies.
