The Danger Of An Unstable Father Series

• How many parents allow their children to dabble in the occult with the excuse that it’s just a faze. Be it weegie boards, Taro cards, horoscopes or the gothic fascination with the ties to the occult.

Now the question comes at this point of our narrative as to why did people want to do this? Why would a someone want to become the house of a demon? Why would he want to have demonic involvement in his family? Why would he want to have children that would be exposed to this demon power, this demon wickedness? Why? Well certainly not because he thought it was going to destroy him, certainly not because he thought it was going to corrupt his marriage and corrupt his family and make life miserable and catapult him into eternal judgment. Do you remember Genesis 3? Do you remember when Satan went into the Garden? Eve says to Satan...God says if we eat of that tree we’re going to...what?...we’re going to die, we’re going to die." And Satan says, "No you won’t. I can beat that one. I can beat that. You do what I tell you, you won’t die. In fact, not only will you not die, you will be like God. We’ll beat God’s judgment. We’ll beat that eternal death. We’ll beat that judgment. Just do what I tell you." This is the original satanic lie. Now by the time you get into the time after the Fall, and you get into these 1600 or so years, the sentence of death is well known. Why? Because for most of this time Adam is still alive, right? I mean, Adam lived to be over 900 years. So for most of the 1600 years he was around so you didn’t need a secondhand explanation of what happened in the Garden. And Adam could tell everybody and it could be passed on by Adam’s children, "Look, we are under the sentence of death and we are going to die and we are cursed by God, and men are cursed, and women are cursed. And we’re all cursed and that’s why we have sickness and that’s why we have sorrow and that’s why we die. And it’s the curse of God." But you can just hear Satan come along and say, "Ah really, we can beat that one. You won’t die. You won’t die. Not only will you not die, I’ll make you like God."

And, folks, it’s not any different today. Join the Mormon church and guess what, you’ll be a God on your own planet having celestial sex forever and populating it with your procreation. Or what about with Natives in their smoke huts sucking in the smoke that supposedly sacrificed to God to get them to the happy hunting ground. Or classically with the Greeks, ah, the mystic river of death awaits you but across the mystic river is eternal life if you follow the gods. Or if you’re an Egyptian and you do what the gods of Egypt tell you, you will sail across the river of death into the after life and that’s why they buried boats with the Pharaohs in the pyramids. We can beat that. In fact, not only will we beat death, we’ll be better than that, we’ll make you like God, you’ll be gods in the next life. That’s the same lie. It’s the same thing as going into a pagan temple in Corinth and going up to the Acropolis just south of the city, As you climb the Acropolis and up there there’s thousands of priestesses, prostitutes in the days of the New Testament, and you go up there and you engage yourself in a sexual activity with a temple prostitute and thereby you are gaining eternal life and on the way to being turned into a god, you’re communing with the gods by doing that. It’s the same old lie. It’s the same everywhere. It’s not anything new. You can sail off into the after life and escape judgment, and escape death and even be like God. All the gods of the nations are demons as 1 Corinthians 10 records. So when you connect with any false system, you connect with...what?...with demons.
