She was at first skeptical about the incident being relayed by another student, but when she questioned the student practicing the craft, he said, absolutely; that he had indeed chanted a spell and an object moved by his design. It was due to this incident the teacher requested prayer.
Witch craft is alive and well; strong and growing in our world. There are schools for magic all over the internet, with classes online and you-tube explanations and videos for those interested! There are hands-on instruction and more being offered as “professional education.” Some invite attendees to be a “witch for a weekend,” with so much interest in some schools, that there is a waiting list for up to a year! One internet site which I did not enter, was about the “woes” and trials of being a witch today!
Another site tells me that in today’s world, witchcraft has actually been “re-invented” from an old religion of the pagan world. In some circles, even without internet connections, there are those offering resources on the study of this phenomenon. It seems to have become accepted in some geographic areas as, “it is what it is” and while not encouraged, it is acknowledged as part of the current culture.
I remember when in elementary school being interested in the Salem witch Trials. I found it difficult to believe people honestly believed in such things! But my young mind and heart wasn’t tuned into what satan could do, even though I completely believed in God and his powers!
What is sad, is to know that our world has changed so dramatically even over the last 25-50 years! We used to be called a “God-fearing nation.” That isn’t the case, anymore, although many will still tell you they believe in God. There are as many who choose the opposite side of the table and tell you there is no God, or are involved in satanic cults, which in effect is their god!
Where does that leave us, as Believers? I believe we must recognize the strong hold satan has in the world all around us. He and his minions have infiltrated our schools, political leadership arenas and even our church houses! We must be aware of the power he and his demons have.
The request for prayer of the teacher’s classroom is valid. While she may be a Believer, satan can still use his power to wreak havoc around her if the children there get caught into the power the dark world has. Prayer is essential for those we care about, those at our workplace, for those in leadership positions who govern our country and in our lives every single day.
Satan is out there and he’s gaining ground. The end is near. Prayer is critical for the safekeeping of our young ones and even our own lives, as he twists and turns, and convolutes the Biblical truths written in God’s Word.
