Essential oils have been used by those practicing Wicca in ritual and spell work, put one in touch with the invisible powers of the universe and to place a person into an altered state of mind that can empty ones mind while letting in demons.
Once again the devil is introducing into the mainstream society seemingly innocent practices that are deeply rooted in witchcraft.
These witches claim to bring healing in body and spirit as well as bringing wisdom and knowledge to those who use them.
Does this sound familiar folks? To assign physical and spiritual healing to anything or anyone other than Christ is to deny Him.
The favorite tactic of the devil is to fool people into thinking they are engaging in harmless feel good activities when in fact they are glorifying themselves and satan rather than Christ.
Satan did this in the garden when he told Eve she could be like God. All she had to do was think eating from the tree was just innocent and would even give her some knowledge that God was withholding from her.
The devil is using the same old tactics he has always used, he might say in someone's head, "don't worry, we'll just add the name of Christ to this pagan practice and that will make it alright. Or he might say, "You're too sensitive about the letter of the law, its just innocent fun." He may even say, "look how intellectual and smart you are that you have this special knowledge even God doesn't know about."
The devil loves to build pride in people to make them focused on themselves and their own perceived greatness, that way they will push God out of their lives and replace Him with the devils that come to dwell in them.
That old serpent is slimmy and sneaky, just when you think you have it all figured out he comes along and flatters, mocks and confuses his victims to bring them under his control and bondage.
One of the biggest tricks the devil uses is to make people believe these practices are in the Bible in some obscure way. Taking a verse out of context to make the point that using pagan things is actually in the Bible
Jeremiah 10:2-3 " 2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the pagans or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, although the nations are terrified by them. 3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; "
We are not to use the ways of the pagans nor are we to add Christ's name to them to justify them. God hates it when His people try to fit into paganism just to have something new to do and believe in.
Jeremiah 6:15-17 "…15 Were they ashamed of the abomination they committed? No, they were not at all ashamed. They did not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; when I punish them, they will collapse,” says the LORD. 16 This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask for the ancient paths: Where is the good way? Then walk in it and find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it!’ 17 I appointed watchmen over you and said, ‘Listen for the sound of the ram’s horn.’ But they answered, ‘We will not listen!’…"
