"Few
Africans
[that Felicia knew in Zimbabwe]
were truly Christians. The problem stems from the fact that there is just too
much
of this 'cultural' (read demon worship) approach to almost all aspects of life
even amongst said Christians."
Examples:
-
When a baby is born into
a family there is some slaughter of an animal and sprinkling of blood so
as to "welcome the baby into the clan" and it is then named. The baby too
has to have charms worn around his/her waist in protection from evil spirits
when the child reaches puberty there is an initiation ceremony.
-
Wedding ceremonies usually
have the marriage being consecrated to the ancestral spirits for
blessings. death ceremonies dedicate the soul into the hands of the ancestral
spirits for safe travel into the hereafter.
-
In every culture across
the whole continent, business men usually have their businesses protected
and flourish under the aid of demons. Basically, they have to kill
a member of their family (sacrifice to Satan) for all this to be effected.
They are then given a spiritual "guardian/protector" who gives orders which
they must follow in order to be successful. They can also be given a human
zombie to be their slave (e.g.: sew clothes for sale from morning to night).
Healers/Prophets.
These are to heal the people
of illnesses they can not afford medicine for or which a white man's medicine
has failed. Of course the cures do have demonic components to them but most
don't know......as long as it works God must be there, right? [Wrong!]
These folk also help in
cases of demonic possession....I went to one when I was still so IGNORANT. I
was made to strip and the prophetess bathed me in milk and eucalyptus oil. She
made me face east, north, south, west and at each location said an appropriate
incantation. She then "blessed" a candle and told me to pray using this candle
until it burnt out. She told a friend to use salt to break curses......I now
know all these to be occult rituals.
Cultural practices.
People are innocently demonically influenced by having most parts of
their bodies pierced and inserted with either bone particles or jewelry
which would have been "blessed". Also, some prints on the fabric
worn traditionally are none other than occultic symbols. Tourism
ignorantly purchase and take home demonically contaminated curios, ornaments,
artifacts etc not knowing how they have "an accursed thing".
Barrenness.
Women who are barren
(this truly is an utterly DISGRACEFUL condition in all African cultures) go
to some healer who gives them a strange concoction to drink and utters an appropriate
incantation. A few months later the woman gives birth. I personally have always
wondered whether or not the offsprings are demon-possessed from birth. Of course
demons can cause barrenness in the first place.
General spitefulness.
If folk
clash over any issue they can consult a witchdoctor for adequate procedures
to follow in order to get their own back [revenge]. They can "learn" astral
projection in order to go and physically go and wreak havoc on their assailant
invisibly [they go there by their spirits].
Satanism.
This
is really on the increase in Africa. The initiates are tested deep in the heart
of African jungles in what the west would call satan's pits. Also they have
rebirthing ceremonies and they meet under the sea [really]. Some people are
influenced into this by sex with satanists (transference of spirits).
Double-minded Christians.
The SAD truth is that Christians
for the most part do not want the cross and really love mammon more than God.
Also they prefer the ostrich approach (i.e. bury their head in the sand). They
actually glory in their ignorance and fear of all things satanic BUT at the
same time Satan has his way with them.
I will testify to this since in my family ALWAYS reprimands
me for my research in Satan's tactics on Christians. 99% Christians are church
goers who pay allegiance to the local witchdoctors/witches/sorcerers so they
will not be "tormented". The word of the cross is utter foolishness to them
and I really wonder if most of them are saved to begin with. Satan loves to
counterfeit the gifts of the Holy Spirit on them especially "slaying in the
spirit", spiritual experiences with UNholy spirits, false prophesies and words
of knowledge ad infinitum.
These obviously only are the tip of the iceberg! Professing Christians are at
church on Sunday and off to mediums for guidance during the week. NEARLY EVERY
FAMILY I KNOW HAS FAMILIAR OBJECTS IN THEIR HOMES. These as you know are little
figurines of the demon-gods for protection or simply in the ignorance as curios
(ornamental objects).....all my family members have these no matter what I have
explicitly said. (Recall the story of Achan who bought spoils from the battle
when God forbade this and Paul and John do warn to keep away from idols since
demons obtain legal ground from God to wreak havoc on the persons involved).
I hope I have been of assistance to you. Please feel free to reproduce
any of the above and mail me if you have ANY queries.
Oh.... I do understand that God does expect us to test the spirits [1 John 4:12]
and recall how Paul really recommended the Bereans. So do wait on the Holy Spirit's
confirmation as to the validity of all this.......you most certainly will not
offend me. The world is evil and I do encourage you on this point.
In the Master's service,
Felicia

People traffickers 'flung 12 human
sacrifices from Italy-bound boat in voodoo ritual to calm stormy seas'
: Five people have been
arrested on suspicion of murder after more than a dozen illegal immigrants [from
Libya headed for Italy] were thrown from a boat in a 'voodoo ritual to calm
stormy seas,' an Italian prosecutor revealed today. Survivors gave police an
horrific account of how human 'sacrifices' were picked from a ship crammed with
400 people after the engine failed. The captain, a Nigerian, allegedly picked
the victims on ethnic origin or nationality. Witnesses described a number of
women performing a macabre 'magic dance' before the victims were flung overboard
to 'calm the seas and placate the devil'. ...Prosecutor Ignazio Fonzo...said,
'Survivors told us that the captain of the boat, a Nigerian, was the leader
of the rituals that began after the engine on the boat failed and they were
left stranded in stormy seas. Mr Fonzo said: 'Survivors told us that the captain
of the boat, a Nigerian, was the leader of the rituals that began after the
engine on the boat failed and they were left stranded in stormy seas....'One
man was selected taken down into the hold and beaten before being led back up
on deck and then thrown into the sea with his hands tied. 'As this happened
prayers, chanting and dancing took place and it was said he was sacrificed to
cast out demons and calm the seas. 'This happened several times...'One man was

Sacred and perfect am I:
"In November 1993, that allure [of feminist
spirituality] drew over 2000 women from mainline churches in 49 states and
27 countries to Minneapolis, Minnesota. They came together to re-imagine
Jesus, themselves, their sexuality, and their world. Like their spiritual
sisters in local circles, they wanted a new god with a feminine face....
Funded in part by their Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist and Lutheran denominations,
the four-day conference sent shock waves across our nation that are still shaking
the Church.....'We invoke Sophia, Divine Wisdom...' prayed 2000 women and about
sixty men at the opening ceremony to the RE-imagining conference in Minneapolis.
'Let her speak and bless us throughout these days.'"

"Child
Sacrifice in the New Age: Salem's Witch Cult and America's Abortion Industry":
[By Jay Rogers] "20th century
Nazi Germany is yet another example of how a revival of neo-Paganism led to
adult human sacrifice. In The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, William
L. Shirer points to a sterilization law passed in 1933 as the event which began
the persecution of Christians and Jews throughout Germany. Abortion was also
made legal during this time. This was the spiritual impetus which brought
a revival of human sacrifices being offered to ancient pagan deities - complete
with [occult] Nazi rituals - to the forefront. The Holocaust was preceded by
vast pageants which Hitler used to promote neo-Paganism. Resolutions were drawn
up requiring all pastors to take an oath of allegiance to Hitler.... Pastors
who resisted were jailed.
"History tells us that neo-Paganism
has experienced sporadic revivals, but also that the Church has had great success
in openly confronting witchcraft and the practice of child sacrifice. But
whenever the Church has compromised with pagan culture, she herself has become
paganized....Pagan cultures that have worshipped false gods and practiced
human sacrifice - Canaanites; Carthage; the Celtic tribes; and Nazi Germany
- faced immanent destruction. This scenario is being replayed today.... We are
facing the immanent paganization of our culture."
