Nine years ago I watched a video of David Wilkerson warning of a great calamity that was about to strike our nation. At the time, I knew nothing about witchcraft Christianity. I knew nothing of Biblical Christianity, either. I was easy pickings.
As I watched that video, I was drawn to this man. What was it about this video and what he was saying that compelled me? He wasn't preaching the gospel message, he was weaving a witchcraft trick laced with fear to draw my attention.
It had such an impact upon me that I literally searched all over the internet to find out more about this man. That's how I found The Tree of Liberty Forum, in fact. There was a thread or two discussing Wilkerson.
I had no idea at the time, but what was compelling me was not the Holy Spirit, but deceiving spirits to lead me into a false faith and another Jesus. I was literally bewitched by this man.
I now know that David Wilkerson, among innumerable pentecostal/charismatic leaders, were/are functioning in witchcraft, empowered by seducing spirits like Paul warns would come in the latter days in 1 Tim. 4:1-2.
And even though I knew the Catholicism was a dead, religious cult because I grew up in that tomb of a church, I didn't question when I heard Wilkerson endorse them because of charismatic Catholic renewal. A "renewal" that was just another limb of apostasy that grew forth from the evil tree known as the Catholic Church. His endorsement guided me to lower my standard for truth and get drawn deeper and deeper into deception.
As I wandered through the filthy mire of modern witchcraft Christianity, becoming more and more shocked at how evil it actually was, the Lord began to mercifully reveal to me what I had actually submitted myself to.
I had become entrapped in a ministry school scheme whose founding fathers were mystics and experience-seekers. One of whom, Steve Hill, was a master magician, a minister of Satan who literally bewitched a congregation into a frenzy of a false revival that went on for years.
Steve Hill, in case you didn't know, was discipled by David Wilkerson himself, as he had entered Wilkerson's pyramid scheme ministry known as Teen-Challenge. Wilkerson saw something in Steve that led him to personally develop and train him for ministry, and what came forth was one of the most demonically charged acts of mass-witchcraft the world has ever seen in the Brownsville Revival.
And despite the fact that the Brownsville Revival got lots of scrutiny related to all the weird manifestations that were taking place there, Wilkerson never loved the truth enough to make a stand against that squirming, shaking evil that had settled upon that little church in Pensacola, Florida. He never stood up and warned people about the very disciple he had trained up. He only vaguely referenced these matters, when he was, in fact, personally responsible for the discipleship of one of the very founders of the false revival. A true shepherd of God wouldn't do that to the flock.
The Brownsville Revival spawned a ministry school, which eventually morphed into the one I was drawn into attending decades later (a school led by Michael Brown another Christian witch and colleague of Steve Hill at Brownsville).
Even though I knew I was a part of something that was off, the fact that David Wilkerson had raised Steve Hill up always fought against my God given critical thinking skills and the nudge of the Holy Spirit trying to draw me out of the false movement. It was just like the compromise I made related to the Catholic Church, leading me to embrace family members who were still staunch in their false faith, bound for hell, I spoke and interacted with them as though they were brethren when I should have been warning them of the deception they were ensnared in.
I had this great trust in a man I'd never met, someone who tricked me into following him through an appeal to my fear of end-time calamity, and it had such a powerful influence over me I jumped headfirst into the pit of apostasy and went under again and again as the tidal floods washed back and forth tossing me too and fro.
The experience was so painful, I had to back out of the fouled waters. For years I had been getting beaten about by false brethren, not understanding what I was a part of. It was always me, always my fault. I didn't fit in, something just wasn't right in all of it.
What I didn't realize at the time is that it was the mercy of God, He wasn't going to let me go under for some reason. It's nothing I deserved, certainly, I had made countless mistakes and missteps traversing the wasteland of deception. And yet, He mercifully put a reproach upon me that this movement that wanted to devour me with deception couldn't help but hate me and drive me away at the same time.
I then began to realize all the beautiful people, the ones the movement loved, they don't stand a chance against what's happening to them. The worldliness of the movement appeals to them as much as they appeal to the world. They are useful to this beast which seeks to rend and tear the true church to shreds and draw as many worldly false converts into it's whitewashed tomb as it can, leading them in an inglorious dance to destruction and the coming wrath of God.
I also realized why Jesus referred to Himself as the Truth. Because if you want to love Jesus, you had better love the truth. I realized why Jesus is referred to as the word of God, because if you want to love Jesus, you had better love the word of God. If you lower your standard on either of these counts, you have lowered your love for Jesus and you have transgressed against the greatest commandment to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind. And love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and prophets.
What is Christian witchcraft? It's demonically charged false ministry to lead people into error. When Paul found out the Galatian church was drawn into deception, he said to them, "Who has bewitched you?"
In more practical terms, this is how witchcraft works:
Witchcraft control is established through submission and authority. Every time a leader tells the congregation to do things, and to follow them in different ways, they are drawing people to deeper levels of submission. This gives them a measure of authority in their life that allows them to then pray (prey) over their hearts and minds. It's manipulative and supernatural as it will unleash seducing spirits on the people ala 1 Tim. 4:1-2 because they are operating in hypocrisy. This witchcraft trick heaps up zombie-like mind-controlled congregants which will faithfully tithe and build their pyramid scheme of a ministry.
