FIGHT AGAINST DARKNESS

VIPEROUS SIBLINGS

Which was first:  the hen or the egg??  Satanism, the occult, or drugs – or vice versa??  Let no one be fooled:  this wicked threesome are siblings from one and the same viperous brood … After all, … the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature …

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

One of the most shocking revelations I have heard during an interview with a young satanist was that he had made use of a Christian book on satanism as a guideline to enter that sinister portal of hell!  Too much confusion and too little knowledge exist among the people in the street – the fathers and mothers of those teenagers in the street – about the workings of the “Prince of Darkness” …

GOD SAVED ME FROM HELL

I myself, Ado Krige, had been an apostle of that “Prince”, that nefarious pirate of God’s ultimate pride, the crown of His creation, man.  And well knowing his prey, more so the exact soft spot, he so cunningly sinks his claws into them:  our precious, careless young ones, always eager to experiment, to learn about those forbidden fruits, as our first mother, Eve, did.  In 1968, I had committed myself to Satan – so completely that I ended up in jail, caught red-handed while swinging a deal in drugs.  But – God be praised! – He saved me from hell!  While still in jail, I had a supernatural revelation, receiving clear instructions about the course for the rest of my life.  And that is the reason why you, the reader, parent of teenagers, teenager yourself, or at whatever stage in life, are now holding this book in your hands.

CHRIST IS STRONGER THAN SATAN

The primary purpose of the book is to help you to free your eyes from the peels of ignorance about the existence and activities of Satan’s followers, Satanists, in South Africa.  We are going to show you the origin and progress of the cult of satanism, its henchmen and their followers, its casualties (maybe very near to yourself, or in your vicinity?), and, most important, the REMEDY!  For, however strong the hold of satanism or its instigator himself may be on a person, there is an even stronger power at work:  our Lord Jesus Christ, through His Holy Spirit!

RESILIENCE TO TEMPTATION

Once you have been convinced about the true extent and urgency of the matter, you will find clear guidelines in this book for proactively dealing with your children’s (spiritual) resistance to the temptation of this evil.  This of course implies an honest, unremitting spiritual strength within yourself if you are really anxious to keep your child out of the claws of this monster.  And, where your youngster has already been caught in the web but has been dragged out of it through the intervention of some Godsend person (the police, a spiritual counsellor, or whoever), there the task will rest on you, the parent, together with the rest of the family, to restore the family life to normal again, giving the “lost sheep” a safe haven of rest and security.  A crucial task, indeed, but so rewarding!  A number of cases described in the book may serve as examples.  In any case, counsellors and others keen on helping are available.

LET’S JOIN FORCES

We have found that those who have been through this ordeal, either as rehabilitated victims or their parents and others involved, have become dedicated helpers and counsellors in this battle.  I therefore invite those interested to contact me in this regard – let us join hands and forces in fighting off this danger to our youth!

GOD IS ALWAYS THE CONQUEROR

Finally, we know that, long before the creation of the universe, God had known about Satan’s rebellion, therefore He revealed His plan of redemption to Adam and Eve, as related in Genesis 3:15.  From Genesis through Revelation, where the plan is finally unwrapped, the confrontation between God and the powers of darkness continues, but always with God as the conqueror, through His special “work-force”, young and old.

Indeed, our young ones will go before us in prophecies and deeds!  May we also, all our readers, be part of God’s conquering army!  God Himself has provided us with the necessary armour:

Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness.
