| Submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee [Jam 4:7] |
Never in my life have I encountered such resistance (hindrances) over such an extended period of time. It weaves in and out between the physical and the spiritual realm like the slippery serpent Satan represents. It is surreal, yet very real.
Satan cannot heal, but he can remove an infirmity or sickness that he put upon an individual. The intent is deception, and the motive is to cause a falling away from the faith, a turning away from Jesus the Messiah (Yeshua the Christ).
Way back in September, when Charlie Kirk first got shot, I went through a gamut of emotions, but as stated, it was not for the reasons people might speculate or conclude. I had never heard of Charlie Kirk, although I was certain I had seen his face (online) somewhere before.
The emotions were due to the division that was occurring within me. On a human level, I felt compassion for what would be a grieving widow and her two young children (as well as parents, siblings, other relatives and friends).
Most would have some level of compassion, or so one would think, but oddly enough, there were 'haters' coming out of the woodwork. From a Christian perspective, I was moved to pray because grieving often comes to people in waves, particularly when the cause of death has been sudden and violent (tragic).
To minister comfort, I posted the words of Christ Himself:
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. [Jn 12:24]
A small handful of scriptures were sprinkled throughout the opening paragraphs. As a child of salt and light, "some" of the leading to post a scripture was not for the purpose of comfort, but rather as a sharp rebuke. The articles would have to be read to keep things in context.
I did express that my original intent was not to jump on the bandwagon at all, but there was a grieving in my spirit, not over the death of a man I did not know, but over those who were using Charlie Kirk's death as 'clickbait' to advance their platform, or to make themselves known. Using his name or pretending they had new information was the bait they used to hook people into clicking on their site.

They would pick a title with his name in it, or TPUSA, or something to stir up viewers to "click" on the video. Then, once the viewer began watching, they soon found out that the content had nothing to do with the title, or it was not "new" at all, but simply rehashing what the news or some other channel had already reported on.
I did not post until 10 days after the incident. It seemed the news flashed across the entire globe, which astounded me, especially when I read testimony after testimony of people saying they did not hear of him before Kirk got shot. I was not along in that.
What shocked me were the people who hated Charlie Kirk, who were actually calling him vile names (the language that is printed these days is mind-boggling). However, it was not the language or name-calling that was such a shock, but the sheer evil, the cursing and rejoicing over the darkness that took him out, which is exactly what those who practice witchcraft do.
Remember, there were reports that the magazine "Jezebel" printed an article boasting about how Esty witches were paid to put a curse upon Charlie back in August.

| article removed by magazine itself |
It should be said that along with those mentioned in the article, like Barack Obama, Jezebel magazine itself condemned the shooting. They did not condone it.
Then, it was a matter of days later (although whoever was behind the witchcraft asked for a two or three-week window for the spell to take effect), when Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Due to public pressure, the article was removed from their website shortly after.
There was a cold, raw spot in the pit of my stomach ever since I watched Erika Kirk at the Memorial. To me, it seemed more like a political rally, with Jesus as the attracting magnet to draw people in.
Comparing people in leadership to men of God in the Bible was over the top for me. Charlie Kirk was known as a debater and a podcaster, mostly amongst the youth and pastors.
(This article was halted halfway through the sentence below...one week ago. I will finish the thoughts, including a link, before moving on to the next post.)
I have had the above in the cue for SIX days, I can hardly believe it... what happened? Distractions...and much more. Lord, have mercy. I kid you not.
Every single time in the past (for the past several... I would guestimate 3 or 4 years?), whenever I go to write about the subject of "Witchcraft", major hindrances begin to happen like an onslaught.
So, I will finish the thought* below...
* Calling out to pastors to join his newly-launched Turning Point Faith in 2019, Charlie Kirk began encouraging the youth not just on college and university campuses, but on high school campuses as well.
He urged them to "get involved and have a say in the direction of your country, or you'll leave a void that someone else who doesn't share your values will fill." In 2018, Kirk "strongly criticized the evangelical political movement."
In 2024, Kirk reversed his position. NBC News reported: "It's a transformation that, according to political and religious scholars, embodies and reinforces a growing embrace of Christian nationalist thinking within the Republican Party in the era of Donald Trump."
I will insert this and then continue. I am not going to start all over again. I have articles "starts" all over my desktop. I will carry on, Lord willing.
And this series, War in the Air, Witchcraft in the Fog began last October 2024. I will take a screenshot to show the date it went into the cue. Once I do post this, though, Google (which owns Blogger) will adjust it to the current date, which will be November 17, 2025.
Let us hope so. The reason 'why' is because the Hebrew meaning associated with the number 17 is: overcoming the enemy; complete victory
SOURCE: Biblestudy.org Ha! Wouldn't that be great!? Obviously, it's a shoe-in because I wrote the article and just have to copy-and-paste it in. Then, of course, comes the editing. Arranging text, picture selection, colour-coding scriptures etc., does take time, but when we surrender to God, we will not stress.
Whether it posts or whether it does not, Yahweh's will be done. Thank You Jesus (Yeshua)! Okay, now I will take the screenshot.

God rules in His Sovereignty and Providence.
There is no way I am going to get nearly enough done in time, but I have to post what I have and continue on as soon as possible.
A Time to Speak
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. [Eccl 3:7-8]
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man. [Col 4:6] (Emphasis mine-BP)
Say what you mean, mean what
you say, and never be mean when you say it. [Rev. Harry L. Reeder III
(1948-2023)]
I like that…it’s exactly how
I do my best to operate now, that is – now that the Lord has done so much
work in me over the ‘decades’- but there is still so much yet to do. Be
of good cheer! Adonai is doing a work in you as well…
From the moment when God moved
upon you, and you were broken – and there in that solitary moment of aloneness,
you were filled with godly sorrow. The Spirit of the Lord had melted your cold,
sinful heart, and you responded by repenting.
Yahweh did not force you. He
does not do that. He honours the freedom to choose that He grants each one of
us. You chose wisely. You responded by repenting. It is then that you were
saved by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ.
That is the place all of us
who are born-again can relate to, the place of humility; the valley of
decision. It is not because of anything any of us has done. Nor will it be by
anything we will do. Works have nothing to do with it.
How beautiful it is. Salvation
truly is a gift of God. None of us can boast. [Eph 2:8,9] All of us can
give thanks for His goodness, for Jesus is also Faithful and True. [Rev 19:11]
Now is the time to
speak about many things. I have been trying for nearly two weeks, but
things are moving far too quickly. Can anyone keep up? Yet, it is not just how
quickly the world and all the events are moving; it is the unbelievable
distractions.
DISTRACTIONS are
like an onslaught!
Major distractions
There are interruptions, disruptions, interferences…and then there are distractions! The whole world notices, but not everyone is aware. That statement is akin to saying that the whole world hears, but not everyone listens.
It is time to speak
about God, His beloved Son (our Saviour), and His precious and Holy
Spirit. Bless His holy name. It is time to speak about certain
distractions, but more importantly, the prophetic timeline we are on. Things are
happening according to scripture.
A dear sister in Christ and a
close friend reminded me of this scripture recently (my adult son and one of
my adult daughters live with me; we all share a small rented house)
And they said, Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house. And they spoke to him the Word of the Lord, and
to all that were in his house.
[Acts 16:31-34]
All who have faith in Jesus –
I never realized how corrupted
and blackened I had become due to my sins. It is only now that my blind
[spiritual] eyes can see that I notice good fruit is beginning to show. I humbly
acknowledge how much work the Vinedresser did (the Saviour and Redeemer,
Jesus), and is still doing. How can I adequately thank Him?
He does that in all of us if
we are willing to surrender to His will, get out of His way, and let Him do
what He does best – let Him be the true living God. There truly is none beside
Him; none can compare. The way He loves us individually and corporately
staggers the mind. It is incomparable, preeminent, matchless – I sigh as I now
realize that there are no words to perfectly describe Adonai.
I have said the wrong thing at the wrong time before. I
think we all have made mistakes that way, whether due to being emotional, overzealous
or perhaps insensitive, or just being plain naïve.
I have been trying for almost two weeks to get something
up, but here I go again…distractions (majorly). And interruptions. It matters
not. Either God is fully in control or He is not. Therefore, I will not allow
stress to get to me (as I was in the past), but I will rest in His timing and
His will…
(Thank You Jesus for all You have done, all You are
doing, all You teach, and Your patience. You are exalted on high, and I glorify
Your name, blessed King of kings and Lord of lords!)
It has been my desire not to get caught up in the
emotionalism regarding Charlie Kirk. There is no way I want to show disrespect,
but in truth, the whole situation smells of a rat. There are reasons the Lord
gave me certain Words, which I did blog, and forewarn as well.
Season of Judas’ (plural) back in June, 2025. Writing
about sabotage (from a dream a friend had years ago about a cat named Sabotage
(black cat, how appropriate. I would have to ask her, but it was several
years ago).
Betrayal. In the first article that I wrote about this, I shared the scripture the Lord gave me when I had prayed regarding the Charlie Kirk assassination. “Take heed no man deceive you.” [Mat 24:4] (words of Jesus)
Season of Judas' - I wrote back in June 2025...
I was very torn because of my grief. As stated, the grieving
was not over the murder of Charlie Kirk, although that was very tragic; I did
not know him. My grieving was due to the fact that I felt appalled at the
actions and behaviour of his ‘widow’, Erika Kirk.
She had a long speech prepared. It seemed very long for someone who just lost someone so close and dear to her, such as her husband. I thought it was tacky to have a camera at his coffin, but also a microphone! What? A microphone so that everyone can hear her say, “I love you, baby.”
It
felt like a low-budget movie. It seemed unnatural. People took pictures of her
from several different angles. She wore his clothes, his necklace, her nails
were done, and all the huge diamond and gold rings. It seemed theatrical, like
a reality show (and she was on one in the UK in years gone by.)
Erika Kirk would be dab, dab, dabbing at the same eye,
but I saw no tears. I almost wondered if there was cayenne or something on the
tissue, where it would make the eye water if someone dabbed it enough. Then, she would… lower her voice to a bare,
yet emotional whisper, then immediately, talk normal, without emotion.
When she ‘forgave’ her husband’s killer, it seemed
ingenuous. She scrunched up her face emotionally, but I saw no tears. All these
things were churning over and over in my mind.
That is why I was grieving – the grieving was over my
thinking. How could I be so callous, so suspicious of her, or consider her
insincere? I was afraid my heart had turned cold and hard…and for that, I wept
and wept before a holy God.
There was no delight in my heart, or even a surety that I
was ‘right’. In fact, I was more inclined to believe I was wrong. What a
horrific place to be. Here I am a Christian, commanded to love the Lord God
with all my heart, soul, mind and being, and to love my neighbour (others) as
myself.
And here I was suspicious of a young widow with two
children, and believing something was not right, something was off. Even though
I knew hundreds of thousands, if not millions, would be praying for her, I
prayed also. It is what we are told to do, and I longed to be obedient.
How I longed for the Lord to rebuke and correct me, and
set me upon the path that I should go, and to help me to discern, and love as
He loves, but mostly, for His wisdom. Because in His love, God is no fool, and
no one can fool Him.
That is what I longed for, the wisdom to see as God sees,
love as He loves, but to know truth and not be fooled, not by any demon, the
world, or any person, or my own flesh, in Jesus’ name. I also went on a
seven-day fast to repent and to pray to God.
Witchcraft, Sorcery, Magic
And the light of the lamp will shine in you no more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard in you no more, for your merchants were the great ones of the earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery. [Rev 18:23]
Sorcery is written more often than witchcraft is in the
Bible. What I learned through research is that witches believe they are “born
into it”, that it comes down through a bloodline. They connect with ‘nature’
and ‘spirits’, more modern being Wicca, witch doctors, herbalists, healers,
etc., and the love of nature is in the belief we are one in nature, and it is
in us.
Therefore, the spells depend on natural energies (earth,
wind, fire, water), seasons, the moon, and spirits. Their magic or power is
directed more at individuals through spells, incantations, and rituals.
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the
detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers,
idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with
fire and sulfur, which is the second death. [Rev 21:8]
Witches will also delve into necromancy (talking to
the dead), divination, and casting spells. This is a subject all in itself.
I am barely touching upon it here. Witchcraft has much to do with the flesh and
its deeds. Why do you think the living God tells us that rebellion is as the
sin of witchcraft (divination), and stubbornness is as iniquity and
idolatry? [1Sam 15:23]
Sorcery is more of a learned skill, hence the [g] magicians,
enchanters, diviners, necromancers, and wise men/magicians in the courts. This is like dusting the furniture, but
leaving the dirty floors and walls untouched. In other words, this barely skims
the surface. Pharmakeia [Greek] translates to sorcery.
Yet, with the wickedness and evil that has embraced all
of creation, witchcraft does not limit itself. Full rituals are carried out
onstage to the ‘ignorant’ fans who do not know better. The celebrities that
laugh and tease how they ‘sold their soul’ to the Master; they laugh but they
are not hiding it anymore, nor are they ashamed.
How many speak about being onstage and “something” or “someone”
takes over them, and they are a whole other personality onstage? It is obviously demonic
possession. Lucifer was heaven’s music.
For now, reminders, but later on, deeper discussion, but
who remembers the Sikh prayer (and song) at the Republican National Convention,
or the witch who prayed and blew on all those on the World Economic Forum WEF
stage.
It is understood that some people (Christians) say, ‘Focus, grasshopper…focus on Jesus.’ Of course…and one skim through my archives would reveal that Yeshua, my Lord Jesus is always and forever first.
Oh, and just so you know, you may call me “grasshopper”,
but I will not listen. It is not me, nor does it define me. I am on the side of
Joshua and Caleb. In fact, my son has Joshua in his full name in honour of the ancient
warrior. I love the Word of God, and also the brethren who were forerunners, as
well as our examples.
Ten out of the twelve Israelite spies that Moses sent to
spy out the promised land were so full of fear when they saw the giants, they did
their best to dissuade everyone from going to the land God promised them,
reporting that they were like “grasshoppers” compared to the giants in
the land.
And there we saw the giants,
the sons of Anak, who came from the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers,
and so we were in their sight. [Num 13:33]
However, with the fast-approaching revealing of the False
Prophet, followed shortly after by the revealing of the man of perdition, the
Antichrist of all antichrists, we cannot turn a blind eye to the undeniable foreboding
cloaking the globe right now.
Cleansed by the Blood of Jesus
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For you make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they
are full of extortion and excess. [Mat 23:25]
Yes, first the inside of the
mess has to be gotten rid of, and cleaned up by the precious blood of Jesus
Christ. Clean the inside of the cup first, then the plate. The plank has to be
removed from our own eye to help another with a little splinter in their eye.
At this time, there is more of a willingness to listen,
but who people choose to listen to is still up for grabs. Jesus/Yeshua
repeatedly warned of false Christs, false teachers, and false prophets.
The Messiah did not sugarcoat or lighten the reality of
the depth and level of deception in the last of the last days. He also made the
dividing line very clear over who would be seeking truth and who would reject
it, embracing lies instead.
He spoke of increased persecution rising to levels unseen
before. Are we not witnessing persecution manifest and rise globally at an
alarming rate in the past few years?
We see people rejecting what is being said due to all the
fake news, misinformation, disinformation, and deception that have corrupted
the world. We are also witnessing the rejection of what we see now, due to AI,
deepfakes, Photoshop, and other manipulative tools that alter, create, or
misrepresent visuals.
AI can produce fake documentaries by cloning an
individual and reproducing even the same voice pattern. Most people are tired
of lies, but some are now in their glory, with nobody trusting anyone —not even
God. Any hesitation, apprehension, skepticism or caution that we witness is
because of the constant barrage of falsehoods.
Deception Beyond Measure in the Last Days
People are desperate for the truth. All of us have had
our fill of lies and deception, but unfortunately, we have not seen anything
yet, compared to what is coming. On the Mount of Olives, Jesus/Yeshua
emphasized deception.
I remember times reading it, but never had any idea of
the depth or severity of Christ’s warning until about ten or so years ago. Three
times He used the word “deceive’ in close proximity to each other [Mat
24:4, 5, 11, 24], with the fourth and final time driving home the importance of
being and staying on guard/alert.
Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary
the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour. [1Pet
5:8]
Lest Satan should get the advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. [2Cor 2:11]
To be continued...
Remember, Jesus is the one who BALANCES all things. That way we do not bury our head and go into denial with any news that troubles us, or go to the other extreme. We truly need Jesus...and if any lack wisdom...
And if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, without reproach, and it shall be given him. [Jam 1:5]
for His glory alone
