...but that it can open doors for people to seek out the real thing.

It can also open the door to evil spirits.  Do Christians kids really need this kind of fantasy?

And that is a perfectly valid quotation.  Someone did the research from a Christian perspective and exposed the Harry Potter series.

Sorry but frankly I find their research ridicules. No one is going to become a witch from reading Harry Potter anymore then becoming one from watching the Wizard of Oz.

Evidently you do not take the realm of evil spirits seriously. They look for every avenue to access and influence humans, especially children. As we look around us and see the news being reported from all over the world, we see only the human aspect. But Scripture tells us that Christians are in a serious battle, and it is not with flesh and blood (Eph 6:12) but with powerful spirit beings.

We do not even know who actually controls J.K. Rowling and her writings. What we do know is that Christians are to have nothing to do with witchcraft (which includes drug abuse).

King James Bible (Galatians 5:20)
...Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,...

Well I do agree that Christians should have nothing to do with witchcraft. Though I do not believe that Harry Potter is witchcraft. I am not sure why you through in drug abuse. But I also agree we should avoid that as well. I think J.K. Rowling  controls her own writing. I have watch movies and documentaries about her and I do not think that she as anything to do with real witchcraft.

That is your choice for diving into the world of Harry Potter. It is the magical world of wizardry, magical creatures,casting spells. Is Harry Potter a wizard or a warlock? Do you know what a warlock and a wizard are Lady? You might want to google the terms.

The problem with researches like that is they sound good to the Christian ear but sound way off base and clueless to those who have actually read the series, as I pointed out previously. 

I have a question - do you have first hand knowledge or experience with witches or with the Harry Potter series, or is your opinion molded solely by what others have said about it?

How do you know?

What is your experience with demons?

What evidence do you have that a person was afflicted by an evil spirit from reading or watching HP?

Philippians 4:8  Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

No one said anything about becoming a witch.  All you have to do is open the door a crack an evil rushes in. Satan is subtle and Harry Potter is just the type of thing he will use to captures kids minds.  Instead of keeping their minds on Jesus they want the fantasy of Harry Potter.  And really the Wizard Of Oz?  There is a huge difference.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
