I have been doing some real searching and praying and God revealed to me the dangers of Twilight and paranormal books and movies….there are occult practices in them, and in other things there is witchcraft…and God clearly told us to stay away from these things…He told us to focus on what is True and Noble and Righteous….I mean twilight has vampires…vampires are considered dead….so that is technically necromancy…which God warns about and He calls detestable…Vampirism is rooted in occult lore and vampires are thought to be the physical manifestations of diabolically empowered entities, sometimes called the undead Twilight taps into the seductive, but delusional, occult theme that there are both good and bad demons and that a relationship with the right occult entities can help one ward off the really bad demons. Twilight is especially huge among many Wiccans and neo-pagans because of its occult themes and due to the positive PR it gives to the idea of “good” witches and “good” covens.
Tragically, many Wiccans have been deceived into believing they can have relationships with good spirits and cast good spells, when in reality, they have opened the door to demonic oppression and even demon possession. After many Wiccans open the door to the demonic realm, they are then taught that they can use counter spells to summon good spirits to protect them from evil spirits. This device has been effectively utilized by Satan to delude the prospective Wiccan by promising power, while enslaving them to an occult construct. Sadly, the vampire, Edward, is cast as a romantic supernatural hero, whose net affect in the real world gives ample fuel to the occult lie that there are good dark spirits.Many Wiccans, sadly, never come to realize that Satan is running a good cop, bad cop con game, or in their case, good demon, bad demon as though one can be played against the other. God has revealed in His Word that spirits contacted by occult means are evil and part and parcel of Satans original rebellion (Ephesians 6:10-12). Gods Word is saturated with categorical warnings against all forms of the occult, including astrology, sorcery, divination, magic and witchcraft. (Gen. 3:1-6; Ex. 22:18; Lev.19:26, 31-32, 20:6, 27; Deut.18:10-12; 1 Sam.15:23a; 2 Kings 21:6, 23:24; I Chron.10:13; Isa. 2:6, 8:19-20, 19:3, 47:13-14; Ez.13:20-23; Dan.2:27-28, 5:15-17; Mal. 3:5; Acts 13:7-10a, 16:16-18, 19:19; Gal. 5:19-20; Rev 9:19-21, 21:8, 22:15, etc.)
I am also not watching harry potter anymore, because it is blatent witchcraft…now God NEVER distinguishes between “white” or “black” magic….its all witchcraft to Him and He says stay away from it all…anyway I’m not going to judge anyone about this…this is just my personal choice and that was why I deleted my last blog…
anyway this website was very informative to me: http://www.goodfight.org/a_co_twilight_harrypotter.html
so yeah that’s my stance on it all now…and I mean it was SO hard for me to decide because I was what you would consider a “Twi-hard” I LOVED twilight, I loved edward, bella, etc…and it took away from my time with God.
now I had a friend tell me that it would only effect non well grounded Christians….now I know that this friend meant that it wouldnt effect me…but it hurt because how it sounded was that I wasnt a “well grounded” christian…now I KNOW this friend did NOT mean it like that in the least, but yeah it doesnt just effect baby-christians….I’m pretty well grounded, and I can honestly say it took away from my time with the Lord, it took away from bible reading, worship, everything….I didnt “let” it happen….but by choosing to read and watch those I subconsiously allowed the enemy to come in and mess with me….and it actually did effect me...I mean I started reading other books like the immortals series...and they have blatent spells and witchcraft in there, among all the other occult related stuff in there...I started watching true blood, which is on HBO so you know there's all sorts of stuff, but it had vampires, voodoo, witchcraft, you know...all the stuff that God says to stay away from...so it was really a downhill spiral...I didnt WANT it to but it effected me, my attitude, what I said, just everything....looking back now I hated it...I stopped hearing God, worship was actually work to try and get to that place...so yeah...

anyway so that’s my heart…my goal is to now start majorly focusing on God’s presence, repent, and get back into the Word, and major worship
I know that God is going to bless this so I’m hopeful….anyway I ask Blessing and openness on anyone who reads this…let the Holy Spirit speak to your heart :)
With Love
