Combating New Age Witchcraft

The New Age movement is basically a combination of witchcraft and Hinduism, disguised to make it acceptable to white collar professionals. There is an important reason why this form of spiritualism is targeting this group.

For almost 5,800 years of the earth's 6,000 years of recorded history, nearly 95 percent of all workers were agricultural. In just a little over a century, that statistic has been reversed so that now less than 5 percent of the workers in the West are agricultural. This change was the result of technological advances. The 5 percent who work in agriculture now produce more than the 95 percent could in the last century.

In the mid 1950s, white collar workers exceeded the number of blue collar workers in the West. Since that time, this majority has grown until it is now estimated that blue collar workers will go the way of agricultural workers in the near future, composing only a very small fraction of population. When it was predicted that "knowledge will increase" (Daniel 12:4) in the end times, few could have comprehended the degree to which this would happen.

Information is now the most valuable commodity in the world, and the job of accumulating, interpreting, packaging, and transferring knowledge is the largest industry.

Those involved in the "knowledge industry"

are not only the most numerous, they are also the wealthiest and most powerful. They are also a group that the church has become increasingly unsuccessful in reaching, which has made them an appealing target for the New Age movement and other cults. Man was created to have fellowship with God, who is Spirit, and because of this there is a spiritual void in man that hungers for the supernatural.

The day of supernatural neutrality is over.

Those who do not know the true supernatural power of God will become increasingly subject to the evil and counterfeit supernatural powers of the enemy. Those whose fears or doctrines have led them to avoid the supernatural power of God will find themselves, and especially their children, easy prey to evil, supernatural power.

Kingdoms in Conflict

Paul explained, "For the kingdom of God does not consist in words, but in power" (I Corinthians 4:20). Satan knows this, and is therefore quite content to fight the battle on the level of words and doctrines. Regardless of how accurately we can argue doctrinal positions, Satan will have little problem conquering us if we do not know the power of God, which is a fundamental aspect of God's kingdom. Those who really believe the Bible will walk in power.

Righteousness is the result of believing in our hearts, not just in our minds, and those who do not know the power of God are only believing Him in their minds.

Considering the foolish antics often zing those of us who have known the power of God in the Pentecostal, charismatic, full gospel, and the third wave movements, it is easy to understand why many would shy away from the gifts of the Spirit. But this too is
