Steve Wohlberg’s special focus on Harry Potter airs July 21
Over 325 million Harry
Potter books in 64 languages
have been sold
during the last 10 years, and
on July 21 the last installment,
Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows, is expected to become
Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows is expected to become
the fastest-selling book of all
time.
the fastest-selling book of all
time. But what’s holding so
many spellbound?
“Simply put, witchcraft is
a search for power,” says Pastor
Steve Wohlberg, and that’s
exactly what he addresses in
his new 13-part Battles of Faith
series, “Magic, Ghosts, and the
Bible.”
“There are two dangers that
are like parallel train tracks,”
he explains. “The first track
is Hollywood’s obsession to
make witchcraft look cool.
The other track is real witchcraft,”
he continues, “and many
young people are turning to
Wicca, incantations, and spells
on high school and college
campuses, looking for a way
to access the power of the
universe to do their will. In
contrast, Christianity is about
submitting to God’s power to
do His will.”
The Harry Potter novels
and films are part of a deceptive
trend sweeping the globe,
desensitizing young and old
to the incredible dangers of
sorcery.
Pastor Wohlberg points to
Pharaoh’s magicians before the
Exodus, and Simon the sorcerer
in Samaria, as examples of how
Satan uses witchcraft and the
occult to confuse people and
prevent true revival. “As our
final exodus from Planet Earth
draws near,” he adds, “God is
working worldwide to lead us
to repentance, revival, and the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit.”
Don’t miss this incredible
series about Hollywood, witchcraft,
spiritism, and the cross,
which includes a special program
on July 21 outlining the
dangers of Harry Potter. Consider
the facts, and your eyes
will be opened, too!
