You do not know the evil of the beasts
you are dealing with!

I WANTS WHAT I WANTS WHEN I WANTS IT
We are living in a 'Popeye' society 
POKEMON is by Dungeons & Dragons 
It is a mind control game and NOT good for kids!

BIRTHPLACE of POKEMON - HELL
POKEMON means POCKET MONSTER.  Here are excerpts
from an article I got in email on POKEMON. I cut out
a lot to be brief. Included is info for anyone
wanting to know more. 

Pokemon originated in Japan. Here is an exact quote
from the Web page of the producer: The Pokemon
Trading Card Game is a new collectable card game that
is made by Wizards of the Coast, who made the best
selling game Magic: the gathering. They own TSR, the
producers of Dungeons & Dragons materials.

Mental health professionals say the things you let
into your mind shape your thinking
and thinking directs your actions.

MIND CONTROL: The problem with Pokemon is its subtle
suggestions & images manipulating the minds & feelings
of children. Heavy involvement blurs the player's
ability to distinguish between fantasy & reality.
Pokemon is designed to be a stepping stone to harder
occult oriented games. Some cards deal with casting
spells. Young children are learning they can solve their
problems or get out of trouble by casting magic spells.

Its not as innocent as it seems. Pokemon is everywhere.
Pokemon characters are headstrong, stubborn, constantly
quibbling, & vindictive. Promotes loose and sick sex.
Are these your kind of role models? It has been
reported that some schools have forbidden Pokemon
cards in school because children were fighting each
other over them. One kid was knifed. 

ALTERNATIVE

Find out what sports your children like, and get them
interested in buying trading cards, Veggie Tale videos,
biblical character games, & comic books from Christian
bookstores are good. You may not be popular around
the house for awhile, but whoever said parenting was
easy! You are PARENT, not 'friend'!
Ask yourself where are the players' thoughts
and imaginations being directed?

Dr. David Brown believes there is a battle going on
for the minds of our children. He is a college teacher,
lecturer on the occult, and a recognized researcher.

POKEMON CREATES CRIME WAVE  December, 1999

Some say Pokemon bigger than past obsessions with
Beanie Babies or Star Wars. Even adults are committing
Pokemon violence. A North Carolina man was charged with
assault for punching a Burger King cashier after he
did not get a Pokemon toy with his meal.

QUEBEC, Canada: A student was stabbed during a fight
over the cards. Pokemon has become so distracting,
schools have banned the games and trading cards.

PHILADELPHIA: Four children from one middle school were
arrested for attacking other students to steal Pokemon
cards. Pokemon has become a nationwide craze, and
children are fighting over the trading cards.

NOTE: Philadelphia: City of Brotherly Love.
Revelation 2 & 3 have 7 churchs, one is Philadelphia.
Remember from where you have fallen and repent
Revelation 2:5

PARENTS or Grandparents 

Before you judge the kids, what example do you set?
Road rage? Impatience? Do you have an
'outta my way' or 'me first' attitude?

Integrity & Responsibility 
rather than 'rights' make a healthy society.

Pokemon is a craze out of control. An obsession that
has spread throughout America. Stabbings, assaults
and fights over the cards. There are Pokemon card
sharks out there

 

Religious view: 
There have been questions raised as to the spiritual
ramifications and possible dangers of Pokemon.
The other day a college academic friend sent me an
article from a Christian Homeschoolers Newsletter
           
"The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will
abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and
things taught by demons" 1 Timothy 4:1
Can there be any doubt that children are a major
target of the devil?  The Bible says that he is the
god of this world. Just because our secular culture
calls something popular and innocent means nothing.
In fact, that makes it all the more suspect.
A good question: Does Pokemon draw children
closer to the Lord Jesus and the truths of His Word,
or away from them? Another question: Are there things
about Pokemon that are antithetical to Bible truths
about reality that might condition children to buy
into the distortions?

Let the facts speak, then you be the judge. 


HARRY * POTTER the WIZARD



The newest book was released July 7, 2000
`Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'
It was the publishing event of the summer.
Did the media make such a fuss over THE INDWELLING?
The newest in the LEFT BEHIND series?  NOOOOOOO!!

Harry Potter is a wizard in training at the
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft. WISE Christian parents
and pastors are NOT happy. These books encourage a
favorable view of wicca, witchcraft, satanism,
New Age. Harry casts magic spells, invokes spirits.

Having had an experience with my own daughter and
improper cartoons when she was only 4 years old,
the Lord made it clear that some cartoons are a tool
of the enemy to wreak havoc in the souls of our
children. As a result, I wrote a testimonial for
John Paul Jackson's book (listed below) about the
seemingly innocent Pokemon. 

Some prophets are given the task of warning the
Church of things that seem innocent on the surface.
Many words are disbursed warning the church of
deceptive things. Here is one that is worth
listening to. by Steve Shultz, ELIJAH LIST (follows)

BUYING & SELLING the SOULS of our CHILDREN
- By John Paul Jackson

In recent years, our culture has developed an obsession
with the dark side of the supernatural. To the untrained
eye, it may seem as if we are living during a time of
heightened spirituality, but what is being promoted is
NOT Christianity. It s a form of New Age spirituality
where pagan practices such as sorcery, necromancy,
channeling, clairvoyance and psychic healing are
being mainstreamed into society.

A multi-billion dollar entertainment industry is playing
an important part in this paradigm shift towards the
supernatural. Shortly before the Oscars, a chilling
ghost story that promoted necromancy as a gift to be
embraced, The Sixth Sense, raked in a total of
$281.2 million propelling it to the twelfth highest
grossing movie ever made. Another supernatural film
that garnered big returns was 1999 Blair Witch Project.

WITCHCRAFT on the RISE
Witchcraft has had a surge of popularity in our culture
over the last few years.  In fact, clubs for witches
now outnumber Christian clubs in schools.

Equally disturbing has been the popularity of
television programs like Charmed, Buffy the Vampire
Slayer or Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and movies like
The Craft. Their heroines are young, hip and alluring
witches. They serve as role models to our children and
casually train them how to practice sorcery.

HARRY POTTER CASTING SPELLS OVER PEOPLE

Many in the publishing industry have been surprised
by the astronomical sales of the Harry Potter books,
where the hero and his friends cast spells, read
crystal balls and turn themselves into animals.
Our culture is shifting toward the dark side
of the supernatural.

Imagination and make-believe can cause children to
emotionally experience the role being played. This becomes
dangerous when the acts are violent in nature. Tactics
such as inflicting pain through slashing, psychic power,
fits of rage, and draining the life force out of an
opponent which are role-played in games like Pokemon,
belong to Satan, not to God.

Role-playing games can desensitize children toward
violence. Distinctions between good and evil often
become blurred. Therefore, what was once unthinkable
behavior becomes acceptable or normal behavior.
This is known as gradualism.

THE FROG PARABLE

Remember the parable of the frog that jumped into a cooking
pot on the stove?  At first, the water was temperate,
even comfortable for the frog who was stranded in this
strange human abode. Gradually, the temperature became
warmer and more uncomfortable. When the water began to
boil, the frog didn't notice.  It never felt the increasing
heat. Despite the fact its skin was burning, the frog
wasn't alarmed. Not long thereafter, the frog lost
consciousness and became dinner. In a similar way,
what is true in the physical sense is true in the
spiritual or ethical sense. In a culture of increasing
darkness and depravity, it s easy to drift along,
unaware of impending danger, until it is too late.

NO VOODOO or PENTAGRAMS, but PAGAN GAMES are OK?

While many Christians would not allow their children
to bring a pentagram or voodoo into their homes,
they have unknowingly opened a door to the demonic
simply by allowing their children to read books,
watch programs or play games that are pagan, and
that employ principles practiced in occult worship.

It is surprising how many Christians are deceived
concerning the dangers of witchcraft and sorcery.
God does not consider sorcery or witchcraft to be
innocent fun for children or adults. He confronts
it in the strongest of terms.

Leviticus 19:31
Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits;
do not seek after them to be defiled by them:
I AM the LORD your God.

SORCERY

There shall not be found among you anyone who makes
his son or his daughter pass through the fire,
or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer,
or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer,
or one who conjures spells, or a medium,
or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead.

ALL who do these things are an abomination to the Lord,
and because of these abominations the Lord your God
drives them out before you.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12

Nothing good can come out of trying to communicate
with the dead. If someone believes they are speaking
to the dead, then it is something  to be feared,
not embraced. Demons will gladly disguise themselves
as the dead, if it will gain them an audience.
The medium calls up the FAMILIAR SPIRIT demon,
NOT the actual person.

Centuries ago, Jesus predicted there would come a day
when many would reject God s truth and accept the
counterfeit - FALSE! - gospel of Satan.
He warned:
False christs and false prophets will rise and show
signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Mark 13:22

A TIME of GREAT DECEPTION 



THIS IS THE JUDGMENT
that the Light has come into the world, 
and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, 
for their deeds were evil.  

GOD so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have
Eternal LIFE. For God did not send his Son into the world
to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

He who believes in Him is not judged;
he who does not believe has been judged already, 
because he has not believed in the name of the only 
begotten Son of God.  John 3:16-19

Looking at the times and the seasons facing us,
I am convinced we are living during a time of great
deception in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12
Blindly following an ingenious counterfeit, many will stumble
headlong into evil, unaware they are being deceived.
Sadly, many will never stop to heed the warnings that
foretell of the deception and will allow themselves
to be hardened to the Truth.

The apostle Paul describe this time as being one where
Satan would try to deceive even the elect, if that were
possible (Matthew 24:24) Veiled by a magnificent illusion,
even Christians would have a difficult time recognizing
the evil masquerade, were it not for the
gifts of the Holy Spirit.

BABYLON Revelation 18

We are living in an age described by the apostle John in
Revelation 18. He foretold of a time when the entire world
commercial system, also called Babylon, would be dominated
by Satan and where merchants of the Earth would buy and sell
everything from gold and cattle to the very souls of men,
women and children (Revelation 18:13). By the use of sorcery,
every nation on Earth was tricked, defrauded and led astray.

Children at an early age can become indoctrinated
into the ways of sorcery. It does not matter if the sorcery
is blatant or unrecognizable, its seeds can be sown into a
childs heart and mind through games like Pokemon. As the
seeds of sorcery grow, strongholds will develop, which are
often undetectable to the natural eye. Over time, such a
child will become desensitized to the Holy Spirit and will
be increasingly unable to discern the darkness from the Light.

AFRAID to be LABELED INTOLERANT

Sadly, some parents do not want to be labeled as intolerant
and therefore, give their approval to role-playing games like
Pokemon. However, God has strong warnings about dabbling
divination, witchcraft, necromancy, psychic power, channeling,
wizards, charms and fetishes.  We are wanted to have nothing
to do with these counterfeit acts of darkness.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness
for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and
sweet for bitter.  Isaiah 5:20



TO REMAIN CLEAR-MINDED

Christians are exhorted to not be ignorant of the devil's
schemes (2 Corinthians 2:11). We are to remain clear-minded and
attentive, because our adversary the devil walks about like a
roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8).  In fact,
we should expose the works of darkness and walk wisely as
children of light - Ephesians 5:11, 13

As our children are being lured into the mysterious realms of
deception, we need to heed God s prophetic call (Revelation 18:4)
to come out of Babylon to separate ourselves from the world and 
its seduction and snares.

DEEDS of DARKNESS

The views being espoused by our secular entertainment industry
train our children in deeds of darkness. Sensual passions and
desires are the seeds that produce evil behavior. As Christians,
whatever we fantasize about matters to God. Therefore, it is
critical to censor our imaginations, because wrong thoughts can
easily lead to wrong attitudes, which give birth to sinful
actions. Emotions can manifest with equal force, whether
incited by fantasy or reality. This fact alone fuels the
pornography industry. So its important to censor what we gaze
upon and what we feed our imagination.

Daily, our culture bombards us with worldly values and
philosophies. Our resolve to live a holy life is often weakened
by the battering ram of cultural compromise. All of us can
easily be seduced into drifting away from that which is holy
and good. The Bible encourages us to not forget, to hide away,
to retain and inscribe in our hearts, and to meditate on
God s Word. As followers of Jesus, we should place a high value
on His Word and position it at the center of all we do.

THE AMAZING DESTINIES OF OUR CHILDREN

Our children have an amazing destiny awaiting them, part of
a prophetic generation foretold by the prophet Joel.
(Joel 2:28-32). Although the Holy Spirit had rested upon
prophets and priests in the past, he described a massive
outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Under the anointing of the
Holy Spirit, prophetic utterances would arise from young
children, not just those who are mature in the Lord.

As our children mature in Christ, they will walk in greater
anointing and hear from God more clearly than previous generations.
They will perform miraculous signs and wonders and accomplish
great exploits for the Kingdom of God.  They will boldly speak
forth God's Word to a lost and dying world. Many will lay down
their lives for the cause of Jesus Christ.

The SIN in POKEMON and HARRY POTTER - JOEL'S MIGHTY ARMY

This generation will resemble Joel's mighty army, trained to
walk in obedience, patience and endurance. They will have
supernatural strength and great courage, the like of which
has never been seen on the Earth. Joel 2:1-11

Satan hates this. He seeks to silence future prophetic voices
through abortion or to render them powerless through the
misuse or misdirection of their gifts. Thru lies,
the enemy camouflages his deceptions and seductively
indoctrinates the unsuspecting into the principles of his
diabolical kingdom one characterized by chaos,
deceit, strife, rage, confusion, greed, and power.

Therefore, we need to keep alert and remain in prayer,
so that we may escape all the things that will come to pass.
(Luke 21:35-36) Since our children have such an awesome
destiny awaiting them, we should walk wisely,
redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:16
