   I didn't learn about sRA (satanic Ritual Abuse) or RA (Ritual Abuse) until I was in my 20s. I was incredulous about the claims of people who survived supposed satanic rituals and torture; however, the Lord directed me to keep seeking, and as I did, I learned about a little-known but international issue with various different names: satanic ritual abuse, ritual abuse, satanic abuse, occult abuse, sadistic ritual abuse, trauma-based mind control, etc. After years of researching this RA and the often resultant DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder, one called MPD or Multiple Personality Disorder), I agree with other Christian ministers that the Church should be forefront in the fight against RA and its perpetrators and in the advocacy of the survivors of RA.

   At this link is a good book about the reality of RA/DID in the civilized world: http://www.amazon.com/Ritual-Abuse-Mind-Control-Manipulation/dp/1855758393#reader_1855758393 (or type in 'ritual abuse' at http://www.amazon.com).

   Gregory Reid, a Christian minister and survivor of RA, wrote several articles about the Church's role in the world of Ritual Abuse and Dissociative Identity Disorder. Here's one that deserves a read: http://multipletreasures.org/?p=286.

   When I was a young Christian working at Wendy's, I used to tell fellow Christians who wanted to learn patience to serve at Wendy's drive-thru window! In spiritual things, Christians are generally way behind due to our many comforts. We struggle with minor colds, thinking we are spiritual young men (spiritual warriors); yet, we never faced the flu and are far from being God's friends; fathers in the faith-- those entrusted with apostolic authority. Just like Wendy's drive-thru window was a challenge to anyone's patience, the realm of RA/DID is a challenge to Christianity. But if God be for us. This stance of 'Calebite faith' should be our message, lived in and through us everyday. The broken and dying are waiting for God's deliverance <expressed through human vessels>. (Isa. 58:6.)

   Hi ValleyAnt,

   About 10 years ago I got quite involved with a guy who had come out of a witch's coven and supposedly started following Christ.

   One of the things that He said was that christians don't know how much power they possess in Christ. He and his associates used to target christrian children at school and intimidate and bully them so that they wouldn't come to know the victory they could have in Christ.

   This guy eventually went back to his familiar surroundings.
   About 2 years after this happened I was prompted to call on him one day.
   He was snarling at me and made direct reference to me having the "sword run through me" by a "pastor" that he had no personal contact with.I knew as soon as he opened his mouth that he had got this from the opposition spirit, as this was the only way he could have known what had happened.
   I said nothing and looked straight at him. He went sheepish and said he shouldn't have said what he said as he was being told off by his guiding spirit.

   So , yes , they are organized and they do use abuse particularly on those who are called to be the truth of Christ, however they do this as they know they are defeated by anyone who truly knows the authority they possess in Lord Jesus Christ.

   We have to keep our eyes on our risen Lord Jesus Christ and follow Him to let His light and truth shine in our lives.

   To focus on the works of the enemy is to walk in their domain.

   Kevin, indeed. However, not all satanists know that Christians have a greater power than they. Many are deceived to truly believe that satan is stronger than God (and so they are stronger than Christians). After all, it would make little sense to join the loser-- to serve one you believe is defeated, will be defeated, and that you will be defeated with. There are different levels of satanists, and the one you spoke of seems to be very far down the totem pole judging by what he told you. (By 'satanists', I speak mostly of the world's ruling elite and those with them who are not lacking in satanic power and privilege).

   satanists do not use abuse mostly on Christians but on innocent and helpless children. It isn't about religion when it comes to abuse; their intention is to obtain more and more power and (yes) take over the world lock, stock, and barrel. However, you are right that they are defeated by those who are in the know, knowing the authority that Christ gives them. However, spiritual laws still apply (ie. there will be doorways into almost anyone's life), and satanists have learned them very well since satan's power is limited to legal grounds (sins, etc.) in people and places.

   As you said, we are to keep our eyes on Jesus Christ. However, we are also to be watchful of the enemy who walks about, seeking legal ground to devour as many as he can. Remember, Jesus didn't say, "The thief comes to steal" or "The thief comes to murder" but "The thief comes to steal, kill, AND destroy..." If satan can't kill, he will seek to destroy; and if he can't destroy, he will seek to steal. He doesn't always go one after the other like that; the fact is that, along with a fallen world, there are grounds in people some of which give satan the right to steal, some of which give him right to kill, and some of which give him grounds to destroy. No one should focus on the enemy, but as the Lord has angels of different duties, and as there are soldiers for different tasks, so the Lord has ministers and callings of different designs (as the example of the five-fold ministry): some people will be called to go into satan's terrain and rescue his 'rightful captives', and they will 'think about satan' more than will those not called so. We must be aware, so we aren't taken or captive and yet thinking ourselves free: "If I have forgiven... I have forgiven that one FOR YOUR SAKES in the presence of Christ, LEST satan SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE of us; for WE ARE NOT IGNORANT of his devices" (2Cor. 2). But all things must be done according to the Lord's will or else it is sin, whether spending time with the Lord or studying the satanic bible. The churches have done badly focusing on God or on satan our way; we should now try it His way which always works for the good.
