Aviad Cohen found this interesting quote on the internet
pertaining to the Harry Potter bewitchment:
 

"As a former witch, I can speak with authority when I say that I have examined the works of Rowling and that the Harry Potter books are training manuals for the occult. Untold millions of young people are being taught to think, speak, dress and act like witches by filling their heads with the contents of these books..." -Anonymous

If you are a believer in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and if you know Yeshua as your Messiah (Jesus), or if you are not a believer (I hope you get to know Yeshua soon), you are going to have to take a stance. You are either standing with Yahweh, Yeshua and The Ruach Ha'Kodesh (The Holy Spirit) and hold to Yahweh's Word, The Holy Scriptures or you choose to roll with Satan, who holds no good everlasting promises for you. To keep it real clear, Satan is frauding you, if you are rolling with him. Harry Potter is a sorcerer and Disney, among other other companies are in the business are witchcraft and sorcery promotion and mind-programming (Fantasia, etc). As for the Wizard of Oz....there is no such thing as a "good witch" - all witches are an abomination to God. Just keep that in mind as you read the following.

SHEMOT (EXODUS) 22:18
Do not allow a practicer of witchcraft to live.

Dictionary Word Check:

Witchcraft:
The art or practices of a witch; sorcery; magic.

VAYIKRA (LEVITICUS) 20:27
And a man or a woman in whom there is a medium, or who are spiritists, shall certainly be put to death, they are to stone them with stones, their blood is upon them.

Dictionary Word Check:

Medium:
A person thought to have the power to communicate with the spirits of the dead or with agents of another world or dimension. Also called psychic.

DEVARIM (DEUTERONOMY) 18:10-14
10 Let no one be found among you who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices divination, or a user of magic, or one who interprets omens or a sorcerer, 11 or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 For whoever does these are an abomination to Yahweh, and because of these abominations Yahweh your Elohim drives them out from before you. 13 Be perfect before Yahweh your Elohim, 14 for these nations whom you are possessing do listen to those using magic and to diviners. But as for you, Yahweh your Elohim has not appointed such for you.

Use of supernatural power over others through the assistance of spirits; witchcraft.
The belief in magical spells that harness occult forces or evil spirits to produce unnatural effects in the world.

(Aviad Cohen's note: Nowhere in dictionaries does it state that sorcery is FAKE. This is REAL. Satan uses author J.K. Rowling to cast a spell on her readers, bewitching them into learning about and reading sorcery. Even worse, Harry Potter who is a sorcerer is the reader’s HERO. Imagine that. Your Heavenly Father loves you. Why do you love what He absolutely hates? Books like these are a gateway into the occult.

(Aviad Cohen's note: When you delve into the practicing of magic and read a book titled, Harry Potter, in which the hero is a sorcerer, you anger Yahweh).

 MIKAH (MICAH) 5:12
"And I shall cut off witchcrafts out of your hand, and let you have no magicians."

Dictionary Word Check:

Magician
A person who is skilled in magic; sorcerer.
An entertainer who is skilled in producing illusion by sleight of hand, deceptive devices, etc.; conjurer.

Aviad Cohen's note: There are many sorcerers masking themselves as "Christian Illusionists" that are sharing The Gospel through their crafty craft. Do not be deceived by these wolves in sheep's clothing. Magicians and Tarot Card Readers are also hired to also appear at Jewish Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, claiming that what they do is "entertainment only," when in actuality, they are enticing children to enter into black magic and white magic. Both are evil and dangerous, especially to that person. I have personally witnessed this in both the Christian and Jewish circles. I testify that this has been going on and is still going on. If you are a parent, you MUST ask if there will be any Illusionists, Magicians, Tarot Card Readers, Astrologers, etc at an event that you will be “dropping your kids off at.” If there is, do not allow them to attend. They will be around demonic activity.

2 TIMOTHY 4:1-5
1 In the sight of Elohim and the Master Yahshua Messiah, who shall judge the living and the dead, at His appearing and His reign, I earnestly charge you: 2 Proclaim the Word! Be urgent in season out of season. Reprove, warn, appeal, with all patience and teaching. 3 For there shall be a time when they shall not bear sound teaching, but according to their own desires, they shall heap up for themselves teachers tickling the ear, 4 and they shall indeed turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to myths. 5 But you be sober in all matters, suffer hardships, do the work of an evangelist, accomplish your service completely.

Dictionary Word Check:

Myth
A traditional or legendary story, usually concerning some being or hero or event, with or without a determinable basis of fact or a natural explanation, esp. one that is concerned with deities or demigods and explains some practice, rite, or phenomenon of nature.
An imaginary or fictitious thing or person.

Aviad Cohen's note regarding Greek Mythology: C.S. Lewis uses half human-half animal creatures fused in with mystical (magical) stories to supposedly elude to Jesus. This is NOT how Yehovah would ever want His Truth presented. It is anti-Christ - which means "instead of Christ"). If you want to learn about Yeshua, read The Holy Scriptures, not some mythological, mysical witchcraft book by C.S. Lewis. Christians need to stop defending C.S. Lewis and his evil works and instead, START STANDING WITH YEHOVAH (GOD) AND HIS TRUTH.

Aviad Cohen's note regarding "tickling ears": J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter (witchcraft, sorcery, wizardry), J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of The Rings (wizardry, sorcery, etc.) as well as C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity, The Lion, Witch And The Wardrobe, The Chronicles of Narnia series have made their way into public, Christian and Jewish private schools, as well as churches, etc (Disney too). Instead of listening to Yehovah's Word, people have allowed Satan to indoctrinate them and their children. They would rather have their ears "tickled" than hear the Truth. Take a stand right now. Are you going to be played out by Satan or will you roll with Yehovah and live for Yeshua. You can repent right at this very moment and ask Yeshua into your live and ask to be forgiven for your sins. Take these books and destroy them and throw them away so that nobody else can make any use of them.

Dear Mr. Cohen:

Recently via E-mail,, you expressed your views on the agenda behind the Harry Potter series and other media so popular among the youth. In response to your proposal that Harry Potter books be submitter to you (to be destroyed) in return for a free, signed copy of your CD's, ######## is sending you:

Harry Potter & ...

The Goblet of Fire
The Half Blood Prince
The Order of The Phoenix
The Prisoner of Azkaban
The Sorcerer's Stone - 2
The Chamber of Secrets

These books were purchased solely for business purposes, as part of a library used by children and adults for educational therapy. ######## will be pleased to offer your CDs as part of its library. Would it, however, be possible to receive 3 or 4 copies (for library use only) for our several hundred clients who represent varied faiths and religions?

Thank you for sharing your views and concern for that which concerns us as well. The welfare of children and adults can truly be acquired when they are given positive and appropriate messages.

Please give me a call at ###-###-#### or email me at ############### if you have any questions.

Dear Hebrew Homie,

My name is #####. I am seven years old. I am sending you these movies for to reasons. They use lots of witchcraft and other occultic stuff.

#####

P.S. Can I get a signed CD? My mom and I love your music and I write my own worship songs too!

Dear Aviad,

We have truly been enjoying your music and videos. Thank you.

We are enclosing our Chronicle of Narnia collection. We've also added some other videos we want disposed of. The Christmas video you sent out really opened our eyes to truths we were already somewhat aware of but had not fully surrendered to. It was goo to get the history and origins from so many of these traditions. It is sad that Christians reject the appointed times of G-d but embrace all these pagan festivities. Last year we didn't do Christmas "all the way" and did Chanukah, but this year we will only be doing Chanukah as Messiah did (WWJD????). Pray for us as I know we are going to get a lot of slack from believing & non-believing family and friends.

Thank you for reaching out to the youth. Our kids 11, 9, 7, 4 and 1 1/2 love your music (especially our son #### who is 9).

We already have your CD, but would really like an autographed one for the kids.

Thank you.

In Messiah,

(names withheld for privacy purposes)

P.S. Just so you know, it took a lot for ####### to let go of her C.S. Lewis collection. Only through the Holy Spirit was she able to! Praise Yah!

VIDEO

Harry Potter: A Spirit Conspiracy? (VHS FORMAT) Price: $19.95 Watch The 7 Min. Preview

The Occult Agenda documentary series is designed to awaken the church and non-believers alike to the spiritual warfare happening in the world today.

Part I focuses on the Harry Potter phenomenon that has swept the world since author J.K. Rowling introduced her best-selling book series. But is Potter-mania merely the result of imaginative writing and clever marketing? Or could there be a hidden power behind the craze that has “cast a spell on adults and children alike?”

Pastor Joe Schimmel has spent nearly 25 years researching cults and the occult from a Biblical perspective. His research has led him to believe that the “seducing spirits” prophesied of in the Bible are today at work preparing the world for the coming of Antichrist. Can Harry Potter be a part of this occult agenda?

Guest speakers include Dave Hunt and Caryl Matrisciana.
