Occultism and Satanism are on the rise among youth. TikTok is showing new trends where youth are showing others how to call on their “other personalities” to help them develop multiple personalities. Naturally, they will be calling on demons without knowing it. It’s just the next step up from when schools were teaching kids to find their “imaginary friend” and talk to them. We are already seeing some real dangerous manifestations of these things when the “multiple personality” or “other” begins taking over. I’ve also seen videos of the next insane iteration of the gender blending pronouns like “ze” and “zer,” as two spiritually marred and confused kids told others they refer to themselves by their
“demons.” Only a few years ago, this would have been considered psychotic thinking. But we continue to see the results of our nation disconnecting from God. We’re not caught by surprise because Paul laid it out very clearly in Romans 1. We must not give in to the lies but, as believers, actively resist the evil. I’m grateful there is a growing movement among parents (who are finally waking up to what we’ve been warning about for decades) who are realizing that many schools and school boards and a lot of curriculum are seeking to indoctrinate and socially alter our children—and they are determined to put a stop to it. It’s not about politics. It is about resisting evil and protecting our
kids, and not just ours but others. I soberly remember what was spoken at a national educators conference in 1988 by a keynote speaker: “Our job as educators is to sweep out the last vestiges of Judeo-Christian thought from our schools.” God bless every teacher who is simply there to teach, especially those of the household of faith. They need our prayers.
The recent tragic deaths of several lives at the Astroworld “concert” was heartbreaking and alarming. We already know how many music stars are caught up in the occult, and some, like JZ, Beyonce, and Little Naz claim allegiance to the “illuminati” or Satanism in some form. I had never heard of the rap artist Travis Scott. And yet he and the other bands drew nearly 50,000 people, mostly youth and even children brought by their parents. That’s a shocking amount of
youth. And to hear what? Just a casual look at Scott’s lyrics reveals the typical filthy, violent antichrist content so many in the rap world (and other rock genres) are putting out. When you hear how over-the-top perverted and extremely x-rated the lyrics are, you realize that we’ve got a whole generation that is being drawn into that world by seduction, mesmerization, and a giving in to the demonic appeal of the music.
Watching videos from some of the youth who attended and who witnessed the horrible events of the concert in which people were crushed and trampled to death, they were using words like “It was like being in hell” and “it was like a satanic ritual.” (These were not Christian kids saying this!)
So what was it really? It is too early to know everything, but consider this: They entered the venue through a gate that was the mouth of a huge demonic skull. The concert was filled with occult, masonic, and satanic imagery. The name of the concert? “See you on the other side.”
While people were being crushed to death (and Travis may or may not have known something was happening), he said to his crew, “Y’all know what y’all came here to do – let’s go.” and then, “I’m gonna make this *** ground shake!” (Uses the Lord’s Name in vain.) And then a minute later, “Let’s rage!” That rage cost the lives of several people. After, he sent his prayers to the families and paid for their funeral expenses. Such a dichotomy: Or is it just part of what they do?
A lot of these “artists” come from Christian backgrounds and have been deluded into thinking they can sing about totally evil and ungodly things and still talk like Christians. Beyonce can do Gospel as easily as do songs that glorify Satan. It may be that they are just completely deceived. Or it may be just a manifestation of true Luciferianism: To be able to worship Lucifer and still function within Christian circles is considered a great accomplishment in their world.
That leads me to Kanye West. I remember after he became famous, wealthy, and powerful, he began talking about trying to get out of the Illuminati and how he was being threatened. He was terrified. He had several meltdowns during this time. Most people don’t remember this. Then he came out as a believer, began doing worship concerts, and released a Christian album. Was it real, or just a Luciferian turn of the coin? I don’t know, but I give him the benefit of the doubt.
But at his “worship concert” last week, everyone was dressed in white (which is both Luciferian and Druid but may just have been symbolizing purity.) Justin Bieber and the notorious Marilyn Manson were there, and they appeared to be in a prayer circle with Kanye. I heard Justin’s prayer. It seemed real. He is, unfortunately, one messed-up kid being led by a messed-up Hillsong pastor. Manson? He’s a miserable person, the last High Priest ordained by Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey. His concerts were totally blasphemous. But promoting Satan hasn’t helped him much, and he is now embroiled in several scandals, including serious legal charges.
Having said all that—wouldn’t it be wonderful if he got saved? Yes, it is possible ALL of it is a Luciferian ruse, but what if they are just messed up people, and God is trying to call them to Himself? I am praying for that and reserving judgment until we see where it is all going.
I heard kids that attended Astroworld saying that they saw the fire and smoke and were choking and thought it was like being in hell. And in fact, it was a taste of that last skull gate they will be led into without Christ that will lead to that horrible and eternal pit! The challenge is that this generation is under a demonic spell, and we need to cry out to God on their behalf that God will release them from this demonic spell and bring them to Jesus. Youth ministry and youth pastors need to abandon the babysitting model and start to shake the gates of hell. They need to boldly teach the Word and preach the Gospel. We need to pray for strategy and boldness to reach those kids while we still can!
