Witchcraft Terms and
Teaching
 This article cites some of the
witchcraft words, phrases,
and teachings found in the book, Created to Be His Help Meet (copyright
2004) by Debi Pearl of No Greater Joy Ministries.
Witchcraft terms and teachings are a form of darkness.
The Bible tells us that there is no darkness in God and that whoever believes in
Jesus will not walk in darkness: This then is the
message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that
God is
light, and in him is
no darkness at all. (1 John 1:5)
Jesus said, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me
shall not walk in darkness but
shall have the light of life." (John 8:12) I am come a
light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in
darkness. (John 12:46)
Sex is Worship
Created to be His Help Meet
promotes the Pearls' "wife
worshiping the husband via sex" theme in the form of a letter from a reader of
Michael Pearl's Holy Sex book: "Times when I kissed
and touched him from head to toe, for me were feelings of adoration and
sometimes worship of him, and I felt it was wrong. I loved him so much and
desired to pour all my being into him, but I struggled with whether it was right
to do."
Created to Be His Help Meet
(p. 171) Debi Pearl's commentary on this letter
reinforces her husband's "sex is worship" Luciferian teaching that he promotes in his Holy Sex book.
According to the Pearl's teaching, the act of sexual intercourse illustrates
God's relationship with his people: "Marriage between
a man and a woman is a picture of our relationship with Christ. The
physical union between a man and a woman is so beautiful, so otherwordly, that
God uses sexual intercourse to illustrate our relationship with him." (Bold
emphasis in the original.)
Created to Be His Help Meet
(p. 172) The first sentence in
in bold text as if it is meant to be emphasized, but that is not the case. Actually, it is the second
sentence that is the focus. This sentence is perverse and is a reinforcement of Michael
Pearl's false teachings in his Holy Sex book. God does not use sexual
intercourse to illustrate or depict our relationship to him. It is Satan
who uses sexual acts to illustrate his followers' relationship with him, not the
God of the Bible. Debi Pearl repeats the second part of the
same statement on page 175: "The physical union between a man
and a woman is so beautiful, so otherworldly that God uses
sexual intercourse to illustrate our relationship with him (Ephesians 5:22-33)"
Debi provided scripture references this time but these verses do not teach or
even support what the Pearls are teaching. Debi Pearl dissects
the marriage relationship and sections off the sexual component for inordinate
focus. She is teaching that God uses one act in marriage to illustrate the
Christian's relationship to him. This one act is sexual intercourse. The idea of
sex being centrally important to worship is found in witchcraft, not
Christianity. Notice that Debi Pearl used the word,
"otherworldly" in this passage. Otherworldly means, in this
context, "relating to an imaginary or spiritual world." (1) Synonyms for
otherworldly: alien, ethereal, mystical,
transcendental. (2)
Debi Pearl is teaching her
readers that sex is about relating to the spiritual world. Because she says sex is
worship, she means a real spiritual world. This is witchcraft ideology and is foreign to the Bible.
Debi teaches that having sex is divine worship:
In reference to being sexy for your man:
"It [sex] is intended by God to be an earthly example of
divine worship and intimacy."
Created to Be His Help Meet
(p. 176)
Since the God of the Bible does not accept sex as
worship to him, which god does accept "divine worship" in the form of sex?
"The divine" that witches worship: In sex magick, the body
literally is the temple in which the divine is worshipped. The genital area is
the altar. (2a)
Otherworldly Spiritualism Debi Pearl used
witchcraft terminology in describing a certain woman's walk with the Lord:
"She was given to 'words from the Lord.' Her spiritual passions and commitments
were deep, according to her, and he was convinced so as well. He was intimidated
by her because he carried guilt from past sins , which she never let him forget,
and he was somewhat awed by her otherworldly spiritualism."
Created to Be His Help Meet
(p. 59-60) Debi wrote that
the woman's husband was
somewhat awed by her otherworldly spiritualism. That is communicating the idea
that
he was somewhat awed by the fact that she was a medium—a
witch who communicates with evil spirits who
pose as spirits of the dead. I defined "otherworldly" earlier
in this article.
Spiritualism means:
a system of belief or religious practice based on
supposed communication with the spirits of the dead, especially through mediums.
(3) Notice that Debi gave the phrase, "otherworldly
spiritualism" a positive connotation because the woman's husband was impressed
that his wife had this kind of spirituality. Debi chose to
use this particular phrase. There are many other terms she could have used in
this passage that have nothing to do with witchcraft. God's Novel About Sex
In reference to the Song of Solomon, Debi Pearl wrote: "As
you read God's novel about sex, ask yourself if you feel toward
your husband that same hunger as the shepherd girl did for her lover."
Created to Be His Help Meet
(p. 176)
A novel is a fictional work. The Bible is God's word and God's word is truth.
(John 17:17) God is not capable of telling a lie. (Titus 1:2)
Debi Pearl's act of downgrading a book of the Bible into a
mere novel is not artistic or creative license. It is profanation.
Profanation is:
blasphemous behavior; the act of depriving something of its
sacred character
degradation of something worthy of respect; cheapening (4) Debi
Pearl has degraded and cheapened the Song of Solomon by referring to it as
"God's novel about sex."
God's Novel is Graphic in
its Description of Sex Debi Pearl, who lowered the Song of
Solomon to a mere novel, also debased its character in her description of this
book of the Bible: "The Song of Solomon is dedicated to
singing praise to God for the joyful expression of love in the sexual union of a
man and his wife. It is so graphic in its description of erotic pleasure
that it is embarrassing for some to read or hear read aloud."
Created to be His Help Meet (bold emphasis added p. 166)
This is what erotica does. Erotica is "literature
or art intended to arouse sexual desire." Debi is teaching that the Song of
Solomon is graphic—vivid and explicit in
detail—of erotic pleasure. If that was true,
then it would indeed arouse sexual desire. Debi's statement
that this book of the Holy Bible is so graphic in its description of
erotic pleasure that it can embarrass the reader sends the message that God's
Holy word is capable of inciting impure thoughts (lust) in the reader. This is contrary to God's character and contrary to the
purifying character of his word. The Bible does not defile; it sanctifies:
Sanctify them through thy
truth:
thy
word
is
truth. John 17:17
What really embarrasses the reader is what false
teachers say about the Song of Solomon.
There is a big difference between love and erotica. The Song
of Solomon is about love: The Song of Solomon is about love,
expressed in poetic form. Yes, it depicts in a largely figurative manner the
physical expression of love in a beautiful and pure manner that reflects the
pure nature of God.
Erotica is about lust: Debi Pearl lowered
the Song of Solomon to the lowest carnal denominator possible by calling it
"God's novel about sex" and claiming that it is graphic in its description of erotic pleasure
(sex).
The Song of Solomon is not a book of erotica (lust) because
every word of God is pure. (See Proverbs 30:5)
Luciferian Slant on the Fall of
Man
Debi Pearl, like her husband, Michael, teaches Luciferian
doctrine about the fall of mankind:
"Remember that the sin of Eve was to seek deeper knowledge and to be like the
gods. Independent of her husband, she sought to go deeper.
Created to
be His Help Meet (p. 181;
underlining in the original) According to Debi Pearl, Eve's sin
was to seek "deeper knowledge" and to be like the
gods." In this statement, Debi Pearl taught Luciferian doctrine.
Luciferians refer to the fall of mankind as "enlightenment" and, like Debi,
refer to Eve's sin as seeking deeper knowledge. Debi also
taught her Christian readers the Luciferian belief that Eve sought a
"higher state of being": "Satan knew that the man could not
be deceived, but the woman could. So, when she drew near to the tree, he
convinced her that life would be better if she sought the higher state
of being, "like the gods"—gaining spiritual
insight into the nature of good and evil."
Created to be His Help
Meet (p. 107, bold emphasis added) And here she
wrote that Eve wanted "deeper spiritual insights": "She
wanted deeper spiritual insights than those provided by God."
Created to be His Help Meet
(p. 107, bold emphasis added)
The Bible does does not convey the idea that Eve coveted a higher state of being
and deeper spiritual insights.
Scripture says: And when the
woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make
one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also
unto her husband with her; and he did eat. (Genesis 3:6) Eve
saw that: (1) the tree was good for food, (2) it was pleasant to the eyes, and
(3) a tree to be desired to make one wise. Yes, in addition
to wanting to eat the fruit and appreciating its pleasant appearance, Eve wanted to
become wise—but she was deceived by Satan into seeking to become "wise." She was
innocent and did not understand what wise meant or what evil meant. She was
deceived into disobeying God because Satan caused her to think she would benefit
by knowing evil as well as good. Eve was not knowingly seeking a "higher state
of being," which is the meaning Luciferians ascribe to the fall of man.
It is important to understand that Luciferians do not view Eve's descent into sin as
as a fall. Because they view Lucifer as a "god of light" and a "god of
knowledge," (4a) they believe she was
enlightened, which is what the words Debi Pearl selected suggest:
deeper knowledge, higher state of being, deeper spiritual insights
Channels Her Mind
In Debi Pearl's list of "Traits of a Good Help Meet," she wrote this
regarding being an obedient wife:
She channels her mind into positive ways
of saying "yes."
Created to be His Help Meet (p. 274; bold emphasis added)
Christians do not channel their minds. Channeling one's mind is a term and
practice found in the occult/New Age Movement, witchcraft, Numerology, Hinduism, Buddhism, Kundalini,
and more.
Here are a few examples of how "channel your mind" is used in the occult:
Hinduism: You are the son of God Sivan who wears the Ganges
river and cyanodon grass in his long, braided hair. It is therefore prudent to
channel your mind towards concentrating on the holy feet of
Murukan to get salvation. (5)
Kundalini:
It is good to know that the consistent practice of doing this shaking meditation
for 30-60 minutes a day with these 3 core spiritual understandings above, will
naturally channel your mind towards focusing on the Kundalini
energy within you. (5a)
Yoga (Purpose of Yoga is to united with Brahman):
Yoga is the art to channel your mind in a specifically assigned
direction. (5b)
Occult meditation:
But the way meditation is commonly sold, it’s as if calm and enlightenment are
inherent aspects of meditation itself – that all one has to do is sit and
channel your mind into a single point and voila, your life is
changed. The dream appears! (5c)
Casts a Spell
Debi Pearl wrote:
"Oh but I would be remiss in not
telling you: long hair casts a spell on men that is
unparalleled."
Created to be His Help Meet (p. 252)
Christian women do not cast spells; witches do.
Love Potion
Debi wrote: The Bible is far more literal than you may think. A broken
spirit and dry bones result from not having a merry heart. A merry heart is very
good medicine. It is a love potion."
Created to be His Help
Meet (p. 26)
Love potions are very common in witchcraft. (6)
Traveling in Spirit
Here Debi used the witchcraft term, "traveling in spirit":
"Modern inventions have provided a way for a woman to stay at home and still not
be a keeper at home. We can sit at home in body while traveling in
spirit by means of the telephone and the computer." Created to be
His Help Meet (p. 212)
"Traveling in spirit" is an older term for what is now called astral projection:
Astral projection was long ago known as 'Traveling in Spirit' and may have been
a more common experience before modern times when we all became more focused on
physical reality as the cultures changed as the cultures changed and our
physical needs became more demanding." (7)
