“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God will all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” (Matthew 22:37).
These are the conditions for successful deliverance from demons: Humility, absolute honesty, willingness to turn from and confess all known sin, renunciation of all contact with evil spirits, the [...]
The Martial Arts are more than just a method of self-defense or a system of health exercises. They actually involve a life philosophy derived from eastern religions. The testimonies of Karatekas (a devout practitioner of karate or other form of Martial Arts) do not hide the fact that the Martial Arts are more than just [...]

Filed Under #08 INVITING DEMONIC ATTACK, PASTOR WORLEY'S WRITINGS (EXCERPTS)
When I was told that I could take free Karate lessons at my university, I jumped at the chance. As a born-again believer, I had some qualms about Karate’s rather obvious connection with the pagan religions of the East. Foolishly I brushed these aside for I was having too much fun and was really quite [...]

An outstanding feature of rock music is the unprecedented emphasis it gives to rhythmic beat. This overemphasis on rhythm can have a devastating, hypnotic effect on listeners. The extremely high volume of electronically amplified rock music has actually damaged hearing permanently in some cases.

GROUNDS FOR DEMONIC ATTACK
Filed Under #08 INVITING DEMONIC ATTACK, PASTOR WORLEY'S WRITINGS (EXCERPTS)
Demons are not able to attack people at will. They must have legal holds, legal grounds or other open doors to justify their entry. Although Satan’s forces are not invincible they sometimes seem so because of our ignorance of the ground rules, all found in the Scriptures.

Many people endorse so-called “Christian Rock” or “Jesus Rock.” I am forced to disagree. Because rock music is deeply rooted in the occult rhythms and demon worship ceremonies of the Eastern mystery religions it is innately evil and demon laden. We should beware of contact with it lest we be cursed. We have fought with [...]
