December 01, 2017 Reconciliation
Occult Invasion: The Subtle Seduction of the World and the Church, addresses the subject of God’s created beings desiring to be God. And that’s what we’re going to be discussing today. Dave, I’m sure the idea that mankind has the potential to be God is shocking to some, but it has an overwhelming appeal to a great many others. Now, according to the Bible, desiring to be God was the first sin committed throughout all creation.

November 24, 2017 Buffing Up Your Spiritual Exercises
Now, we’ve covered many of the worldly occult influences of our kids, but last week we pointed out with great concern occult practices which are becoming popular and are being promoted in growing numbers of evangelical churches. Specifically, we’re concerned about the contemplative movement, which is an attempt to revive the prayer exercises and techniques practiced by the Catholic mystics during the Middle Ages.

November 17, 2017 Kids Are the Primary Targets of the Occult Invasion
If you’re a first time listener, we begin each program by discussing a topic which we think might be of interest to our audience. I intended to discuss Chapter 17 today – the chapter title is “Playing God: The Lust for Power.” But a couple of items were sent to me this week which I think are important to discuss with regard to last week’s topic, which was “The Occult Seduction of Youth.”

November 10, 2017 Is the Occult Invasion a Sign of the End Times?
This is an update with correct audio for this week.
The Bible is very clear that there will come a time when the entire world will submit to a world leader, one who will be empowered by occult abilities (powers, lying signs and wonders) for the purpose of deceiving the masses and subjecting them to his absolute control. Second Thessalonians 2 and other scriptures lay this out quite clearly. But this doesn’t happen overnight; there has to be some preparation, and that’s what your book addresses.

November 03, 2017 Is Alcoholism a Disease?
We’re picking up where we left off last week on the topic of 12 Steps, which is the psycho-spiritual approach developed by Bill Wilson of Alcoholics Anonymous in order to help alcoholics overcome their drinking problem. And if you’re interested in the documentation of much of what we’ll be saying, it’s found in Dave Hunt’s book Occult Invasion: The Subtle Seduction of the World and Church.

November 01, 2017 Knowing What We Believe and Why
We’ve seen over and over that the New Testament defines and defends the true gospel and condemns all false gospels. We also can see why this is the case: the battle for souls is between God’s truth and Satan’s lie. Thus, each person’s eternal destiny depends upon what he or she believes. One cannot believe both the Truth and the lie. Even though one believes in God (who is He?) and that Christ is our Savior (what does that mean?), if God’s truth has been compromised or perverted, such a gospel doesn’t save but eternally damns those who believe it.

October 27, 2017 Are 12-Steps Programs Occultic?
Now, Dave, the topic for this program and perhaps for the next one or two is the 12-Steps approach to solving so-called psychological problems such as alcoholism and other drug abuses, codependency, etc. Twelve-steps programs are becoming an established part of church ministry throughout the country, and they’re being praised by leading evangelicals who see them as a blessing to the church. Yet we are including 12 Steps in the realm of the occult. Now, why would we do that? Aren’t we being told that AA has Christian roots?

October 20, 2017 What's Wrong with Alternative Healthcare?
In other words, as we mentioned already, I think, you would see a triangle – mind, body, spirit – for the sign for holistic medicine. Holistic, “h-o-l” could be spelled “w-h.”, and it sometimes is: whol- it means, “the whole person.” So instead of the doctor or nutritionist or whoever it is dealing just with the body, now they want to get into the whole person, and that includes the soul and the spirit. Well, what qualifications do they have for dealing with that, and what is their basis of truth? The Bible deals with the soul and spirit of man. It deals with his spiritual relationship with God, and the relationship with God is what is important about spirituality.

October 13, 2017 Is Holistic Medicine Holy?
I want to begin by quoting from USA Weekend: “With one in three Americans turning to alternative healers, a government panel has prescribed a change in doctor’s training. Now more MDs to be are studying cures from herbs to prayer. In 50 of the USA’s 135 medical schools, anatomy and biochemistry are being supplemented with acupuncture, homeopathy, nutrition, massage, and prayer. A panel at the National Institutes of Health recommended all medical and nursing students be exposed to alternative theories and techniques.”
