I get that I’m the crazy mom. The one with too many rules. The one that thinks “everything’s a demon” and the one that is the only mom that doesn’t give her kid her own phone number and can still read her texts. I get that not everyone understands the spiritual warfare that actually goes on in this world. I’m crazy for saying horoscopes are witchcraft, I’m crazy for saying don’t dress up for Halloween. I’m crazy because they’re just kids and let them have some fun. I’m the mean mom because I wouldn’t let Leah act out a play with her friends because I saw it had murdering in it through watching her texts. I’m sorry but no, you shouldn’t be acting out crime scene murders at the age of 10. Game or no game. I’ll be that mean mom.
Consider this. There are so many things we don’t know anything about. Think about car shows and racing. Those folks that are into that can tell you all the specs, the track info, they know the backgrounds of all the other drivers and their strengths and weaknesses. If you’re not a car buff, you’re clueless.
What about fishing? Those who do it frequently know which bait attracts which fish. They study the water, their migration habits, they change their bait, their lures, they use certain boats in certain areas, while those who don’t fish are clueless.
Think about professional bakers. They know exactly how to mix the ingredients. They know which flavors pair well with others. They know the consistency, the taste, they know how to mix the icing just right. They know all the little tricks to the trade because they are professionals.
Think about accountants. They know all the ins and outs of financial transactions. They know tax laws. They know stocks. They know everything they possibly can about every monetary detail possible. Because they are professionals.
Think about teachers. They provide information to our children. We trust them. They’ve gone to school to learn how to be good with children, how to communicate effectively and how to instruct our children to learn to the best of their individual abilities. We trust them because they’re professionals.
Think about gamers. They know the difference in PS5 and PS4 and Xbox live. They have computers dedicated to having enough ram and the best graphics. They have multiple screens and play with headsets coordinating multiple people at the same time, while many of us were lost when Nintendo went to Super Nintendo. We still think of sonic on sega. We are clueless to the details of their rapidly changing detailed world.
Think about the music scenes, the different organizations, the different professional societies for HR, Medical, Accounting professionals. All of these small scenes and groups are known inside and out by professionals or those who are interested and drawn to those small groups, yet the general public is clueless to their existence and operation.
So when we trust all of these professionals to know all of these areas we know little about ourselves. Why do we not trust a professional satanist that turned to Christ when he says that Christians should have no part in Halloween? Why do we not realize that just because we don’t understand spiritual warfare doesn’t mean it’s non existent. Just because you never saw a demon manifest in your lukewarm church doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Why do we scoff at ministers that walk in the supernatural but line up at the door of psychics? Why do we consult the horoscopes instead of consulting the one who made the stars?
Demons are real, they’re affecting each and every one of us. They bombard our thoughts, they cause fear, anxiety, panic, sickness, nervousness, headaches, and prevent us from healing. They hide behind the curtain stealing moments of joy from our lives just enough to keep us frustrated but never enough to make us aware that our issues are demonically driven. They prevent us from experiencing what the Bible is speaking to us through the Holy Spirit. They suffocate our finances, keep us bound and prevent us from walking in the fruits of the spirit.
If we trust all of these professionals because they know their areas of interest so well, why do we not trust ministers who function in deliverance and healing? Those who have studied it, walked in it, experienced it hands on? Those who have been through hundreds of hours of deliverance?
Wake up to the fact that demons are real. Wake up to the fact that we all deal with them. Wake up to the fact that freedom comes with deliverance. Trust the Experts! Stay away from what the Bible instructs us to stay away from. Drive demons out, don’t pretend they’re not there.

Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
