Russ Dizdar: The global rise in satanism and the occult

“[Christians] are afraid of it more than we are knowledgeable of it. We should be discipled, equipped and know how to deal with this.”

3/28/16 – This interview is an outstanding overview of what we are dealing with from the dark side right now and what is coming. Russ Dizdar has been in ministry for 30 years and is an expert in the occult and Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA). (Part 1 is above, Part 2 is below.)

Pastor Dizdar spoke about the increase of occult activity occurring not just in the US but globally, “What we’ve seen in the last three decades on the field alone is this unprecedented rise of possessions, demonic engagement with people, the rise of the New Age Movement, the rise of Satanism, the rise of Santeria, all over the world. And so you’ve got hundreds of millions involved now. Tens of thousands have become practitioners.”

“For us as believers, I think we’ve been so guarded against it we don’t want to know about it. And the idea, well, you don’t talk about Satan because that glorifies him is not true.”

Since I work in this area I too have noticed the dramatic rise in possessions, demonic crime, and increasing boldness with witches and other occult practitioners.

I work to educate the body of Christ to understand that we must walk in “power, love and a sound mind,” none of which can occur without the filling of the Holy Spirit/Ruach HaKodesh. We simply cannot ward off the supernatural assault we are facing without the supernatural intel we receive from the Holy Spirit and the power only available through the blood of Yeshua Jesus.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind.”
-2 Timothy 1:7

The power of the demonic is real! The power of deliverance is real!

“The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.”
-1 John 3:8

As believers in Yeshua, we don’t want to be overly focused on the powers of darkness, but we do need to be educated about our enemy, the Lord of Darkness, and how to stay victorious against his deception and attacks.

I highly recommend Russ Dizdar’s site which provides outstanding training for free; you can buy his books there too. It’s time for the troops to get through boot camp and understand that we are called to VICTORY, and learn how to get there using the tools and armor Yeshua has given us!

Please keep pastor Dizdar and those of us who work in this ministry in your prayers.

Shalom.
