A Revival of the Devil’s Witchcraft Is Rising

Watching old videos of healing evangelists like Kathryn Kuhlman, A.A. Allen, Jack Coe and Oral Roberts is one of my favorite things to do. In the last few months alone, I’ve consumed hundreds of hours of videos showing the miracle-working power of God and bold revival preaching that makes no apologies for the Rock of Offense.

While watching an A.A. Allen miracle reel my ears perked up when I heard the late Brother Allen declare a revival of the devil’s witchcraft. Of course, this was back in the 1950s. What was a revival of witchcraft then has turned into a full-blown movement.

“An awful lot of people are sick, diseased and afflicted under a curse, under a spell because of the present revival of witchcraft around the world,” Allen declared. “There has never been a time in history when there has been such a devil’s revival of witchcraft.”

Think about it for a minute. In Allen’s day, there was no such thing as Harry Potter. Allen made this declaration before popular TV shows like Bewitched, Charmed and The Witches of East End—and before films like Rosemary’s Baby, The Blair Witch Project and Season of the Witch. Indeed, it was before children’s media like Meg and Mog, The Witch Family and Witches in Stitches hit the mainstream.

A Revival of the Devil’s Witchcraft

In recent weeks alone, we’ve seen the devil pressing hard to bring witchcraft deeper into our schools, our homes and our entertainment venues. We reported on how a new witchcraft-inspired challenge is luring kids into summoning demons. It’s called Charlie Charlie and it’s sweeping the nation and the world under the guise of a carefree fortune-telling game. Faith leaders are sounding the alarm.

Recently, I wrote about a new devil-inspired show called Lucifer on, of all stations, Fox. “Bored and unhappy as the lord of hell, Lucifer Morningstar has abandoned his throne and retired to L.A., where he owns Lux, an upscale nightclub,” the show’s description reads. “Charming, charismatic and devilishly handsome, Lucifer is enjoying his retirement, indulging in a few of his favorite things—wine, women and song—when a beautiful pop star is brutally murdered outside of Lux.”

Meanwhile, theaters in Miami are putting on a play based on John Van Druten’s Bell, Book and Candle, which is about a witch who puts a love spell on a publisher who is soon to be engaged to his sweetheart. Of her new album, Florence and The Machine singer Florence Welch says she “got into obsessing about the LA witchcraft scene, and I was imagining this concept album about a witch trial in Hollywood, and someone falls in love.”

And you may have heard that Eddie Radmayne inked a deal to play Newt Scamander in a new Harry Potter spin off called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I could go on and on. There truly is a revival of the devil’s witchcraft, as Allen put it, and it’s far darker today than it was in his time.

A Dangerous Awakening

I’m believing for a Third Great Awakening. But the devil is clearly driving toward a great awakening of the occult. This revival of the devil’s witchcraft is unto an awakening to the occult that will set the very elect up to be deceived, it if is possible (see Matt. 24:24). False signs and wonders will rise, along with false prophets and false christs.

As you may know, I’ve written a book dealing with spiritual witchcraft called Satan’s Deadly Trio: Defeating the Deceptions of Jezebel, Witchcraft and Religion. Many times, infirmities are rooted in the devil’s witchcraft—and sometimes it comes from the spirit of Jezebel. The Bible talks about Jezebel and her witchcrafts (2 Kin. 9:22). Witchcraft can’t heal you, but it can release confusion, sickness and disease, depression and other ailments. At our recent women’s conference, Jesus healed 23 ladies—and several of them were afflicted with witchcraft.

We need to pray. A generation of youth has been exposed to witchcraft games, television shows, movies and more. The enemy is seducing people who are looking for the supernatural into a counterfeit movement could have dangerous eternal outcomes. In the book of Revelation, God has made it clear the fate of those who practice such things: sorcerers will have their portion in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone (see Rev. 21:8). Let’s keep pressing back this darkness.
