Beacon of Truth
Harry Potter Release


It should NOT, be an astonishment that Harry Potter books
have sold millions upon millions of copies. For we now
live in the time when "the Devil, is disguised as an angel
of light.

I am not saying that the book itself is evil, because evil
is, IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. If one reads "Harry Potter"
and reads it thru "the understanding" of the spirit (Gods
Word), then the words alone are not enough to corrupt a
soul.
However, It must be said that, if one reads the book with
the worlds understanding (men's word) then it just furthers
the perversion of Gods word.

" He whom is not for us, is against us" Christ spoke this:
and it means exactly what it says...if there was a
disclaimer at the first of the book, telling the reader
that "the principals and ideas written herein this book,
go against the teachings of Gods word" then it would
in effect "break the teeth" of the "spiritual influence"
in which the book was written!
Parents! Wake Up! If you insist that the book is a harmless
children's tale, that "will not" effect the way your
child thinks about things......

The Lord God, and Host of Heaven sayest, EVERYTHING, you
allow your children to do, and say, effect the way the
child will think!

If you have raised up your child with Gods word, and the
FOUNDATION, of everything he believes is based on what
Gods word teaches, and he reads the book, get ready for a
lot of questions, because he will want to know, why HIS
PARENTS (Harry Potter's) "allow" their child to dabble
in the "dark side of the spiritual realm!

Even when you "explain" that "it is just a story, and is
make-believe, it will still leave them with the IMPRESSION
that it is "okay" to "play" with the "things of the DEVIL!

We need to take a LONG, AND HARD "look" at our own hearts,
and "see" if we are setting a Godly example, for our
Children's sake! The lies of the Devil, are ALL AROUND
them, at any given moment, so it is crucial for them to
"be armed" with the truth of God!

There is NO OTHER WAY, to "overcome" the enemy! It MUST BE
"done" with the testimony of one's own mouth, and it must
be done, "in spirit and in truth".

The very reason Christ spoke "beware ye of the leaven of
the pharasees" is because He was warning them against the
"lies of the Devil" (men's words).

When we "buy" the lies of the Devil, it causes us to sin,
and stumble. It only "takes" one lie, to corrupt us in the
sight of a Holy God! It also blinds us to the "truth" of
Gods word, untill we repent, and "turn away" from the sin,
we are as "lost", as we were before, our "spiritual eyes,
were opened".

Do not my Children, take these things lightly, because
WORDS, are a spiritual thing, in the sight of God! It is
the choices we make every day, they are based on the
beliefs in our hearts, it is because we MUST, "use" words
even in our minds, to decide things.

The "reason" words are spiritual in the sight of God, is
they are the only method of communication we can use, to
let God know, and others, what we think about all things.
Sure God knows our every thought, "even before" we think
them, but in His sight, if "vain imaginations" (things
which a man considers, HIMSELF, to be in control of,
instead of God) are not "cast down" in Jesus name, then
even the THOUGHTS OF THE UNRIGHTEOUS, bring them into
"bondage". (fear, lust, pride, doubt)

When this happens, we let ourselves "go into captivity"
and do not even REALIZE, what is taking place!

We all live in a "spiritual realm" either we serve sin,
and the Devil, by believing men's words over Gods words,
or we seek, His answers, to ALL THINGS!
The word of God says to "prove all things"..how can we do
this? We do this by comparing what we are hearing or
seeing, to what God says about the thing, for He says, " I
have told you all things". If the "thing" agrees with the
meanings of Gods words, then it is Gods truth.
If the "thing" agrees NOT, with the teachings of Gods Word
then it is..."the lie of the Devil".

This may sound like a "narrow minded mindset" and IT IS.
For "narrow is the path, and there be "few" whom find it!

What I am saying is this...it all boils down to WHAT,
someone "believes" in their heart to be the truth. If what
they "believe" is based on the judgments, precepts and
teachings, of Gods Words, then that person is lead "by"
His spirit! If what they believe is based on the "wisdom"
of men, then THAT is what they give their testimony to,
they are "of the world" and they "bear witness" of the
world instead of God.

They know not, that by simply speaking and believing, men's
words, that they are SPEAKING CURSES, upon their OWN
SELVES! For it says in proverbs" by moving their lips, they
CAUSE EVIL TO COME TO PASS! Upon themselves! Take a
moment, and consider, the above mentioned...for proverbs
also says " The power of life and death: is in the tongue".
What are you speaking, Gods truths or the Devil's lie?

Hello. I read a couple of articles by you, and I am impressed by your strong faith and conviction. Others reading it may be convicted as well. I just wanted to say that this article makes a very good point: If you read Harry Potter with an understanding of God's ways and don't let it change your thinking and just look at it as fantasy and pure fiction, then it is okay. (I hope that comes close to summarizing what you were trying to say!) I've gone back and forth on whether these books are good or bad, and I've never actually read them, but your article takes a good stance on the books. Good read!

Wonder how many books that had to do with sorcerery were burned and given up by those that had given their lives to Jesus Christ?
Thanks for your concern, and your article speaking out.
