Overview

Advertisements from Psychic and Reiki Therapists, Life Coaches, Mindfulness/meditation practitioners, Akashic Records consultants, Tarot Card readers, Channelers, Hypnotists, Energy Therapists, and more are offering their services to a generation of people who are largely unaware that these are occult practices and that they are spiritually and emotionally dangerous. Yet these therapists are convinced they are not engaged with evil influences and other malevolent beings and that they are only working with benevolent spirits and entities to help and heal people who engage their services. Sadly, the reality is that such practices are an invitation to being exposed to and being subject to demonic forces. Such practitioners, therapists, and consultants are convinced their activity is safe and helpful; they are not usually aware that they are tapping into demonic forces, and of course, neither are their clients or students. Some become aware that they are encountering spiritual entities, but they generally do not realize the true demonic nature of these beings. Some, however, do know the actual source of their powers, but their desire for this power and knowledge is sufficient for them to ignore the truth. The same is true for the clients/patients, since there is usually a sense of being helped, at least at first. And this is the primary reason for this book. This is an eternal issue-there is a heaven and a hell, and that awful serpent, also called Satan, is coiled up in these psychic therapies and empaths. Kent and Katie Philpott have extensive experience in deliverance ministry-casting out demons. They have used the knowledge gained from those efforts alongside research, especially from publications of current occult practitioners and interviews with several people who have denounced their own involvement plus internet searches to bring the most commonly practiced new age and occult practices into focus regarding their tendency to put adherents in danger of demonic possession. Pathways to Darkness: Exposing the Dangers of Contemporary Spiritualities might surprise the general reader who thinks these activities are harmless.

"Recently one of my students who had graduated from the seminar where I was teaching returned to speak about his church planting experiences. I asked him what had he not learned in Seminary that he really needed in his ministry? His answer was He did not learn how to combat the evil spiritual forces that he met every day. Dr. Philpott has seen the need to inform the modern-day Christian of the need to understand the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. This book is a must for all who are ready to understand that the church today is involved in spiritual warfare. If our battle against the enemy is to be won, we need to better understand Satan and his methods. This book will help in informing the interested believer of the enemy and his methods. Professor William Wagner Founder Global Strategy Forum The Philpotts give overviews of a wide variety of occult practices popular in the culture today and provide a biblical response to each. Christians can benefit from reading about these, because in order to share the truth of Christ, we should be prepared to come across people with these views. The book can also be handy as a reference on specific topics. These subjects are not discussed much in the church, and many congregants are unaware of the views that go along with them, so the Philpotts have provided a needed and useful service with this book. Marcia Montenegro, Christian Answers for the New Age, and former professional astrologer It is my privilege to encourage Christians and non-Christians alike to read this book. It will open your eyes to the many seductive avenues that Satan uses to lead people astray and away from the True Living God of the Bible. It has also grieved my heart to see my fellow Christians who are ignorant of the dark spiritual realm. I believe a large degree of the deception we see in the church today is the result of a lack of deep biblical instruction - both from the pulpit and in one's private study of the Scriptures. If we are not armed with the infallible, inerrant, unchanging Truth from the Bible, we are prone to fall for lies and half-truths. I know Pastor Philpott to be a learned teacher, as well as a kind servant of Christ, who cares deeply about others' spiritual conditions. This book is a great tool for unmasking many forms of ""spirituality"" - ones that even many Christians embrace today - to their detriment.
