Terrible Evil Does Exist
About this sermon
In “Terrible Evil Does Exist,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about Satanic opposition, prayer, idolatry and occult influence. Drawing especially from Hosea 4, Ephesians 4, 1 Peter 5, the teaching emphasizes that Satan’s work is described through deception, accusation, temptation, and opposition to God’s purposes. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that prayer expresses dependence on God and prepares believers to hear and obey Him.

that's a that's a complete myth and of course we know that the Easter Bunny and the colored eggs goes back to ancient Babylon and the goddess Ishtar right and the sacrifice of babies and the dipping of the eggs in the baby's blood that's where that goes comes from right so this time really is a pagan Festival starting around the March 21st the Spring Equinox it's a big time for satanists for witches uh they believe it they call it because of of winter dying and spring and Life coming so to them it's about Resurrection as well but it has nothing to do with the resurrection of Jesus um and so I don't know I was just thinking about all that because most of you don't pay attention to how Witchcraft and the powers of darkness and the forces of Darkness increase around these particular Pagan satanic High days now there's eight main satanic High days you need to pay attention always there's going to be more spiritual activity and what I mean spiritual activity I'm talking about demonic satanic witchcraft activity now of course there's a lot of Christians that believe that witchcraft can have no effect over you if you're a Christian but I'll show you that that's different here in a second and that that Warfare increases upon Christians particularly this time but the eight High days of Satanist where they practice human sacrifice okay where they do powerful spells and incantations within pentagrams and those incantations for the most part are focused upon Christian leaders and Christians that are having an impact on people around the world and the more impact that you're making the more attention you will get unless of course you're just happen to be around some of these powerful people that are in uh into Witchcraft and Satanism and the Occult world but the eight days are real simple to remember four of them are the equinoxes the four equinoxes are solstices you know summer winter spring fall always around those times there's going to be a meetings of satanic worshipers and and wiccans and pagans they'll meet in their different covens and their different groups um and they'll use those times to either do their powerful incantations and spells or their powerful rituals and of course if it's Satanism there's going to be sexual rituals there's going to be human sacrifice rituals but you know for the

most part what's amazing is most Christians most Christians do not believe that this goes on they don't believe it and I sit there and I wonder what Bible do they read because it was such a a human sacrifice ritualistic torture and human sacrifice and the sacrifice of children these things were commonly practiced by all the Pagan groups of people in the Bible and the Bible talks about them the moabites and the ammonites all the Canaanites practice these things sacrifice children and grown people adult people to molec and two Bale and two ashtaroth and and I mean it just the the names of the different demonic Gods just go on forever but people this is this was such a common practice in the Old Testament times that God when he pulled his people out of the land of Egypt and gave them the law through Moses he had to tell them do not do this do not cause your children to pass through the fire he was talking about the specific sacrifice of children to the demon god Molech I mean so I I get a little I don't know I get a little indignant I guess when I start thinking about that there's Christians who actually think I shouldn't talk about this right there's Christians that think well you know why don't we talk about well it's in the Bible and you know the Holy Spirit through Solomon made this point he said there's nothing new Under the Sun right there's still this terrible evil and in fact I believe from what the Bible teaches us is that this kind of evil would grow an increase in the end and you know I was trying to look this morning early after trying to find some of the latest statistics on missing an abducted children and it's hard to get any real numbers because some of the children are abducted you know that are reported as missing or abducted by their own parents you know or parent disputes so that gets reported as an abduction and then you you have the ones that run away or may run away multiple times and so that that one kid can be counted missing like you know five or six times if they keep running away um but let's just say putting all that aside that number is up around for just in the United States in a year is close to 1 million okay and the number though the number of children and teenagers and people that go missing that is believed by the FBI

and others to fall into you know nefarious hands and bad situations of whether it be the sex trafficking movement or used in Satanic rituals or sacrifices that number is in the tens of thousands in America per year now I do know this I remember looking at the FBI statistics back in the late 90s early 2000s and and the FBI back then acknowledged that in America there were 60 to 80 000 ritualistic that means a satanic occult element to it but there were 60 to 80 000 ritualistic homicides in America per year this is in the late 90s right and you know I started writing a book that I never published and back in fact I started it in 99 and I wrote a while on it and then I started again in 2004 and I wrote some on it and then I did some more in 2008 and I just never finished it and I've never gotten to it but it's really about spiritual warfare and this terrible evil that exists all around us but we just don't want to acknowledge in fact where's my phone this this just for the sake of bringing this into the present this article was just posted let me see who it was yeah I guess this is a UK paper our news agency but it's basically here's the here's the title of the article that that uh mirror.co.uk I guess that's what it is they just posted it says where human sacrifices are still taking place throughout the world now this is an article from 2015 but that's not that long ago right so here we are still talking about this and they talk about how drug gangs which doctors and weird cults are carrying on the terrifying modern face of human sacrifice now this article though doesn't even deal with the real problem the hardcore Satanist and satanic Covenants that are all over the world this is just dealing primarily with India and Africa this doesn't even deal with you know our sophisticated Western Satanist like Tony Blair and the Bush family it doesn't talk about them um but this stuff is going on and this stuff is powerful and I want to read something just so we you know we stick with what the Bible says let's go to Second Kings chapter three real quick and then I'll read some to you from some things I wrote some some documented
