Christian Help for Victims of Ritualistic Satanic Abuse

skyMoon.jpg

This read is aimed at believers in Jesus who want to offer Bible-based, Christian help for survivors of ritualistic child abuse as well as those who have been victims of hardcore satanism, which is generally "defined" as a horrifically violent form of satanism, including the torture of animals and people. These vile and unspeakable acts perpetrated by demon-infested individuals constitute worship of Satan, which also demands sacrifice of animals, usually baby animals, as well as people, including babies and children. Among the victims are:

1. Children who have family members who are followers of hardcore satanism

2. Children and adults who have been abducted to be sacrificed

3. Children and adults of both genders who have been abducted to be converted into prostitutes

4. Unsuspecting immigrants seeking a better life outside of the third world

5. Runaways

What We Must Realize About Hardcore Satanism


In his autobiography, Angelic Defenders and Demonic Abusers, Mr. Kerth Barker reveals the extreme secrecy maintained
among satanists. Part of the reason for the secrecy is the ghastly violence that is so shocking and repulsive even to other practitioners of the dark arts that some have actually taken measures to expose and bring hardcore satanists down. It is needless to say their attempts have failed, and will continue to fail for three reasons:

1. The Bible tells us that Satan does not fight against his own kingdom. In the scripture of Matthew 12:26, the Lord Jesus
said, "If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?" It is true that some followers of the dark arts are not merciless. Nevertheless, they are still children of the devil. It's just that they will not cross certain lines. But the fact that they won't cross certain lines does not mean they can be useful in the battle against the works of hardcore satanism.

2. The works of the devil are spiritual, they must be spiritually fought. These particular satanists are very very wealthy through the sell of pornography, "underground" films depicting real-life torture, which literally produce vomiting and fainting even in people who could be considered desensitized, such as emergency medical staff. In addition to the sale of these real-life horror movies, they generate a sizable income through blackmail. Politicians, highly paid athletes, company heads, and entertainers figure among the clients who are served by enslaved prostitutes. With access to millions, power in internationally recognized organizations, governments, showbiz, the medical world, and law enforcement; hardcore satanists have amassed the money, power, and influence to sway, threaten, pay off, and "knock off" anyone who attempts to expose them.

Where Are the Victims of Hardcore Satanism?


Believers in Jesus who desire to offer Christian help for survivors of ritualistic child abuse must realize why they rarely receive such requests. Where are these people? Why are they not asking for help? Keep in mind that you cannot ask for help if you were murdered as a sacrifice to the evil spirits hardcore satanists worship. You cannot ask for help if you die under the torture designed to utterly break the victim's spirit, turning them into robotic prostitutes and sex slaves. You cannot ask for help if you are locked away in a padded cell. You cannot ask for help if you are controlled through hypnotism and/or drugs in an attempt to keep you from ever coming to Christ. Remember, satanists are highly invisible, secretive; and often very normal in appearance and behavior. They are doctors, lawyers, presidents of companies, police officers, sheriffs, psychologists, social workers, school counselors, principals, college professors, and even clergymen in disguise. Just as they know how to cloak themselves, they know how to cloak their captives.

Does Satanism Really Exists? What Does God's Word Say?


The Bible not only actually reveals that people do worship Satan, it also reveals, in a discreet way, the abominations they commit. The scripture of Matthew 4:9 reveals that Satan not only wants to be worshiped, he also grants favors in exchange for worshiping him. He said to Jesus, "All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me." And, the following scriptures reveal that people do actually worship the devil and demons (idols):

Revelation 9:20 says, "And the rest of the men...yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worshipdevils."

1 Corinthians 10:20 says, "The things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils."

In Acts 19:35 we read, "The city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter."

Leviticus 18:21 is one of the Old Testament scriptures that let us know there have been victims of hardcore satanism since
ancient times. The scripture says, "And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Moloch." Moloch was an
idol, and the apostle Paul lets us know that idols are devils (1 Cor. 10:19); therefore, Moloch is an evil spirit. He is a devil.

The term "pass through the fire" means to sacrifice. The Bible is clearly telling us that since ancient times people have been
worshiping Satan to the extent of sacrificing their own children (their seed) to devils. There are many ways of sacrificing an animal and a person to a devil; all of them are chilling. Again, since ancient times there have been victims of hardcore satanism. Just as in the ancient days they would not have survived to ask for help, because they were sacrificed; likewise many in our modern times are not around to call out for help. They are dead, having been sacrificed to demons.

Deuteronomy 18:10 also speaks of this type of sacrifice. And Ecclesiastes 1:9 lets us know there is no new thing under the
sun. The ghastly acts perpetrated against people in ancient times are still being carried out today. The only difference is the great secrecy with which they are done, because modern laws label sacrifice as murder.

The Link Between Child Prostitution Rings and Hardcore Satanism
Child prostitution rings run by hardcore satanists is just one way of amassing huge sums of money used to promote the spread of hardcore satanism, to buy people off, and fund mansions that are hidden deep within the woods where sacrifice and torture take place. The children, as well as adults who are sex slaves, are used to bring in their fortune. In order for these slaves to perform their abominable acts with clients, among whom are famous athletes, politicians, heads of companies, entertainers, and even men and women who pose as Christians; they must be brainwashed, broken in their spirit, brought under the control of demons, and held captive spiritually and physically.

Should we really believe people are profiting from other people being demon oppressed and even possessed? Yes! The Bible reveals such a case. The biblical passage of Acts 16:16-19 says, "It came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel POSSESSED WITH A SPIRIT OF DIVINATION"--a devil--"met us, WHICH BROUGHT HER MASTERS MUCH GAIN BY SOOTHSAYING. The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the market place unto the rulers, and brought them to the magistrates...."

There are extremely important truths to be gained in this passage:

1. Servants of Satan actually profit from others, including children, when they are possessed and controlled by evil spirits. The scripture even revealed that this was a young girl. She was called a "damsel".

2. Although Paul did not say he had a ministry of deliverance, God used him to deliver the young girl from her masters and
from demonic possession. Paul was a missionary to the Gentiles, not a "specialist" in dealing with victims of hardcore satanism. Jesus said that EVERY true follower of His has a role to play in the deliverance of captives. Why? Because, He gave us power to tread on serpents and all the power of the enemy. The casting out of devils is not a specific ministry for some Christians. Every believer should walk close enough to God to be His instrument to set captives free. Christ said, "These signs shall follow them that believe. In my name shall they cast out devils" (Mark 16:17).

The Unseen Weaponry of Hardcore Satanism - Molestation


The saying, "know your enemy", when in war is true. Learning to offer Christian help for survivors of ritualistic child abuse, and abuse of adults too, requires knowing what is going on and what is wrong. Jesus revealed that, "the thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy" (St. John 10:10). We see the works of the devil in the world in general and in the underworld of hardcore satanism in the following examples.

1. Destruction of the earth through genetic engineering of plants, foods, and people.

2. Destruction of the body, because man is made in the image of the one he hates.

3. Destruction and suffering of animals, which are tortured and sacrificed.

4. Destruction of the mind.

5. Destruction of the spirit.

6. Theft of a person's personality and his or her God-given talents and gifts.

7. Robbery of a person's of salvation.

8. Robbing the physical body through sacrifice or suicide.

9. Theft of the innocence of children by turning them into murderers, prostitutes, and torturers.

The list could go on. But, how do hardcore satanists actually accomplish the above? Horrific sexual molestation involving
people, animals, and demonic spirits is a most powerful tool of our enemy. There is a reason why God told Israel not to
practice bestiality. God said, "Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto. It is confusion (perversion)" (Lev. 18:23).

Are these captives actually being molested by demons?

There is a reason why the mythology of every culture on earth
recounts when the gods had offspring with mortal women, producing demi-gods, which became mighty men. In Genesis,
the Bible speaks of when the sons of God produced offspring with mortal women who became giants, mighty men, and men
of renown. (Gen. 6:1-4). Given that the Bible uses the term "sons of God" to refer both to angels and to mortal servants of
God, why say the Genesis passage is referring to angelic beings? There are three reasons for this. First, the passage says, "When the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men...." If the sons are mortal men, why aren't they called "sons of men", like the women are called "daughters of men"? A clear distinction is being made: The sons are of God, but the
daughters are of men, which translates to: "The sons are divine, but the daughters are mortal."

Second, if the sons and the daughters are mortals, why does scripture specifically mention that the offspring are giants,
mighty men, and men of renown? Some say that the sons of God were the righteous male descendants of Seth who married
unrighteous women. When has being unequally yoked ever produced giant offspring, mighty men, and men of renown? The
Bible forbids being unequally yoked, because the two cannot walk together in agreement, not because the couple will
produce wicked and giant offspring. Clearly something supernatural was going on in the Genesis account. Third, let us not forget that the sons of God, who are angelic beings, have the power to take on the appearance of mortals. Were this not true, Hebrews 13:2 would not have warned us to be careful how we treat others, because they might just be angels. Victims of hardcore satanism are forced to participate in the above mentioned forms of perversion.

Experiences Typifying Death


Victims also are subjected to terrifying experiences typifying death such as placing the child in a coffin with a corpse. This
is one way of symbolizing the "death" of the God-given spirit of the victim. Once the mind and spirit are suppressed, he or
she is vulnerable to the entrance of evil spirits that will allow the captive to serve the masters. Keep in mind that Satan
attempts to imitate and mock what God does. Believers, through immersion in water baptism, typify the death of the old man and the resurrection to a new life in Christ. Despite the terror these victims suffer in an attempt to kill their spirit, remember that God is the only one who can actually
kill a spirit. Hardcore satanists have extremely effective techniques that break and shatter the spirit into so many pieces that it appears to have died, but it is still alive. Psalm 51:17 lets us know the spirit can be broken: "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit." However, the Lord Himself said He's the only one who can kill the spirit. He declared, "Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell" (Mat. 10:28).

Threats and Fear


God's Word reveals the power of fear to debilitate and control not only individuals, but also the masses. This is why God
told Joshua, "Fear not" (Jos. 8:1). And Jesus tells us, "Fear not, little flock" (Luke 12:32). God doesn't want us to be
controlled by fear of the enemy who holds many of his captives through fear, a most powerful weapon. Psalm 73:19 reveals
a time when the people were "utterly consumed with terrors". It is no wonder that people can literally be scared to death.
Psalm 55:5 speaks of people being overwhelmed by fear. And in Genesis 9:12, we have the account of when God put fear in
the animals to control them, so they would keep their distance from man.

Kerth Barker, one of many victims of hardcore satanism, was controlled by threats that his family might be murdered, or
that his family would lose their livelihood; if he ceased to serve his masters as a child prostitute.Forced Participation in Torture, Sacrifice, and Murder Child victims of hardcore satanism are often forced to participate in the torture and murder of animals, often baby animals, other children, and adults, including the elderly. Why? First, this opens the child up to receive demonic spirits. Second, it trains the child to carry out orders of the masters. Third, the longer the child performs these acts, the greater assurance he will become a murderer in his very being. Certainly if a man is as he thinks (Prov. 23:7), he is as he does. The ability to murder in the cruelest ways imaginable is crucial within hardcore satanism. In the passage of Nahum 3:1-4, we are told of mass murder that occurred regularly due to witchcraft. Some forms of witchcraft are not this bloody; therefore, it is
perfectly logical to conclude that this type of blood bath resulted from what would be called hardcore satanism in our times.

Torture: Another Powerful Satanic Weapon


Torture is a most effective method of breaking a person's spirit. Remember that Saul of Tarsus forced Christians to
blaspheme through the torture he inflicted on them. We read, "And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled
them to blaspheme" (Acts 26:11). Just as the Bible spares us the gory details of crucifixion, we are spared the gory details of the punishment Saul of Tarsus inflicted on the early Christians.

In Genesis 49:5-7 we read, "Simeon and Levi are brethren; INSTRUMENTS of cruelty are in their habitations. O my soul,
come not thou into their secrets, unto their assembly, mine honor, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down a wall. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel". This scripture plainly calls cruelty an instrument. "Digged down a wall" refers to the mutilation of an animal. We also read that they maimed and killed in secrecy. We see that these works of Satan we're seeing today have been practiced for thousands of years.

We have further proof of how Satan seeks to use physical cruelty to steal, kill, and destroy a person when we look at how he physically attacked Job's body. "And Satan answered the Lord and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life" (Job 2:4-7).

We do not believe that God has said such a thing regarding the innocent victims of hardcore satanism, especially the
children. However, the autobiography of Kerth Barker, a survivor of ritualistic satanic child abuse, moves us to believe that God has spared the life of many of these victims. On more than one occasion, Mr. Barker could have died under the
unspeakable torture inflicted on him. These souls were not spared by God to continue to be captives who suffer. They were
spared to come to know the resurrection power of Jesus, because by all natural appearances they are dead--dead in their
mind and in their hope of ever knowing what happiness is.

Signs and Symptoms


Among the signs and symptoms of ritualistic child abuse are:

1. Personality changes

2. Displays of violence toward dolls, animals, and other children

3. Physical injury that is often "explained away" by the perpetrator/s

4. Verbal clues

5. Repeated nightmares

6. Fear of a toy, particularly a doll or teddy bear, given to the child as a gift

7. Strange stories

Deception is another major weapon of the enemy. It is extremely common not only to drug a child to cause him or her to forget certain events, but also to include some form of fantasy, so no one will believe the child. For example, Mr. Barker tells of when one of the satanists dimmed the lights in the room, put on a Halloween mask and robe, and walked across the room on a tightrope strung across the room. When the child tries to tell someone that a monster walked on the air across the room, he or she immediately loses credibility, which is exactly what the abusers want.

Also, if a child is terrified of a toy given as a gift, he or she should not be forced to keep it. What is more is that the fear should prompt an investigation into the reason for the fear. Mr. Barker as a child was given a teddy bear that had been used in a satanic ritual that included the torture of a cat. A demonic spirit had been attached to that "toy", which in turn haunted him at night. How sad that no one loved this child enough to get to the bottom of the nightmare in which he lived for somany years.

The Conclusion

Can all these weapons of satanists really fling evil spirits into another individual? Based on scripture, we do not believe that evil spirits can simply be placed into people at the will of others. However, we do believe the Bible says that people can be opened up to the entrance of demons through torture and through being forced to participate in certain acts. In the scripture of Matthew 18:6-7, Jesus said, "Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offenses!"

While "little ones" does not refer exclusively to children, it does refer to people who believe in Jesus, regardless of age. An offense is something that causes them to lose their faith in the one who hung on the cross for them. If an offense, which is an action taken by someone else, can cause them to fall away, why would we not believe that the actions of satanists are not causing a state of mind and a spiritual state in their victims that opens them up to demonic possession?

Christian Help for Survivors of Ritualistic Child Abuse


Whether demon oppressed or demon possessed, victims of hardcore satanism are captives, because they are tormented and
controlled in thought and behavior by demons. Some are captives who want to be free, but the spirit is broken. The scripture of Proverbs 18:14 asks, "Who can bear a wounded spirit?" Psychologists and psychiatrists will never be able to put a broken spirit back together; they don't even believe in the existence of the spirit. Many still reject the truth that man is a three-part being composed of a physical body, a mind, and a spiritual body. You cannot treat what you deny exists.

Even those who do accept the truth of the existence of the spiritual body are not able to put a broken one back together. Jesus said that is why He was sent. Let us hear again why Christ came. He said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised."

Jesus said the brokenhearted captives are in need of HEALING. This tells us they are not simply sad or depressed. Were that
the case, they would only need to be cheered up. The apostle Paul, king David, Jeremiah and others spoke of being deeply
depressed, even despairing to live. However, not once did they say they needed to be healed. This lets us know that something very different and very serious is taking place with the brokenhearted who need healing. They are broken spirits.

In the spiritual world, they are humpty dumpties who can only be put back together by the power of Jesus. Let us take a look at one more scripture: Psalm 147:3-4. Notice that the psalmist, in this same passage, speaks of the Lord's majesty in knowing the number of stars, and in having infinite wisdom at the same time that he says He is the one who HEALETH the broken in heart, and binds us their wounds. Again, these people aren't simply sad or depressed. Their spirit is broken, and only God's power can put it back together.

"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3). And he is this same Lord who, "telleth the number of stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power. His understanding is infinite"
(Psalm 147:4-5).

He truly has come to set the captives free!
