The Attack Upon Our Children

…to the enemy and we give you hope. Today's show is particularly a tough one. It's about our children. It's about the horrible demonic attack upon our nation's children. Please listen to this show because you do not want to perish for lack of knowledge as the prophet Hosea said; but there is hope and I'm going to give you this hope and I'm going to tell you what can be done about it, how to recognize this attack, and what you can do. Thank you again for listening to Self Talk with Dr. Ray Self.

Hello, this is Dr. Self with Self Talk. I want to talk to you today about a particular demon spirit that's been manifesting against our kids. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, I thank you for each person listening to this show. I pray Father, that your Holy Spirit will lead us and, and teach us and give us what we need to know, Father, to take authority of this attack upon our young people. I praise you for every person, Father, tuned in right now. In Jesus name, amen, amen.

Let's go back to the Old Testament just for um, just for a moment and I want to share something with you. Let's uh, let's talk about the book of Levi- Leviticus and the Canaanites or the Canaanites. So um, the Canaanites had a terrible practice and they called it passing through fire. It's mentioned in Leviticus 18:21 and this was a practice in which the, the Canaanites sought to appease the heathen god Molech and to seek his benefit and his blessing through sacrificing their children through fire. And this spirit of sacrificing to destroy our children and sacrifice our children, I believe has risen again in America and other places across the world.

Now we, the spirit, may have different names but if you have to be almost blind not to see the horrible attack upon our kids. I've never seen a generation so spiritually, excuse this tough word, but so spiritually ignorant in all my life. And I see a lot of confusion, I see laziness, I see a lack of knowledge, I see a lack of motivation, I see a lack of care, I see a lack of a real social interaction, I see a lot of evidence of this and a true, true, true- no understanding of who the real God is; and no real appreciation for who the real God is. 

Now, there are many young people saved and worshiping the Lord but there's so many who are lost and I believe a lot of this has to do with this particular spirit, the spirit of Molech, okay? This was a spirit that sought to destroy young people and I think one of the primary attacks upon our nation today; of course you see the rise of the Antichrist, obvious. I mean it's obvious there's so much Antichrist propaganda in our nation today that it's just almost overwhelming. Thank you that we have the blood and authority and the power of Jesus, amen? And the Holy Spirit within us. 

But there's so much going on, in order to do spiritual warfare it really helps to have some discernment, okay? It is interesting this kind of- tell you something that's kind of horrible but very, very interesting. So the Canaanite people would burn their children, okay? As a, as a fire sacrifice to this demon god, okay? Back in 2014 in the United Kingdom, there was a, a show called Channel 4 Dispatches and it was called Exposing Hospital Heartaches, okay? This was from March 24, 2014. And it was revealing that many British hospitals are not, are not only incinerating the remains of aborted or miscarried babies as clinical waste, but they were also burning some of these bodies as a means of heating their buildings in a program called waste to energy. I mean, that's just so disgusting it's even difficult, it's even difficult to read. 

The millions of aborted children please, that pleases Satan a lot. Can you imagine how many of these kids have a tremendous call of God upon their life? I mean, the Bible says before we're in our mama's womb that, that God knew us. These kids, these human beings, they're being killed in the mother's womb. God knew them and had a plan for them. You know, the pro-choice people, what they want is they want to make sure that it's legal for a mother to choose to kill her child and that's all there is to it. I'm not giving any condemnation but that's what it is. A mama said it's my body and if I want to choose to kill my child inside my womb, I should have the right to do that but what about the rights of the child? And science has even shown that life begins at conception so abortion is one of the key issues that this, this demon god is influencing us. But also what I'm seeing with our young people is just a lack of knowledge. A lack of knowledge of the Bible, you know, of scripture, of God, of Jesus.

When I grew up and back in, in my generation, pretty much everybody knew the basic stories of the Bible. Everybody knew about David and Goliath, everybody knew about, about Noah, everybody knew about Jonah, everybody knew about Jesus being born in a manger and we, everybody, knew about Jesus dying on the cross and Jesus resurrecting from the dead. And everybody pretty much knew what salvation was; and not everybody received it, but it was this kind of- basic biblical knowledge was very common and there was a reverence for God even if you were a believer or not a believer, there was a reverence for God and a respect for people's opinions. But not anymore.

The, the ignorance that I'm seeing in this younger generation, I'm not trying to offend anybody, but if you ever, you know, watch YouTube or any of the, the videos going around where they're interviewing um, teenagers on the street. I saw one just, just yesterday. They're asking a young girl uh, what nation was the Vietnam War fought in. She couldn't answer it and then just basic questions like what nation did we fight in the Revolutionary War, what is the capital of France, what country borders uh, the southern border of the U.S, what country borders are our northern border, what countries just north of us…couldn't answer it. That's, that's scary stuff folks, that is scary stuff. And of course, it goes with, the same with God. 

Every human being has a spiritual hunger. We're born with a spiritual hunger and another thing that's happening with our young people is they're trying to satisfy that spiritual hunger with a lot of counterfeit things and there's this spirit of Molech which I think is operating. This is what I'm trying to get at: the spirit of Molech which is a spirit that, that attacks children, I believe is active in America today and I believe we need to call out this demon spirit. In the Name of Jesus Christ, forbid this spirit from operating anymore against our children. 

This attack has not only made our children confused about God, ignorant about just basic things, that, the spirit is deadly. And it's getting our children involved in all kinds of practices that, that God forbids. Our children are wondering about their, their, their identity. Uh, their gender, their, their pronoun, their… And and it's becoming even popular to be homosexual and the, the sexuality that is being taught to kids in elementary school, kindergarten, even- it's just unbelievable, the perversion that's going on in our, our nation against the word of God. Now listen, I'm, I'm a lover of people and I love people whether you are you're a drug addict, an alcoholic. Maybe, maybe you're a homosexual or maybe you've identified as a heterosexual or bisexual. I love you, I love you. You know, I, I don't agree with you, but I care about you. I don't agree with a lot of things a lot of people do and I've sinned too. I don't want to be a hypocrite, I'm a sinner as well, but I'm not going to support your sin.

And even the fact that now if I do not agree with you and do not go along with you, then I am labeled as a bigot or a person full of hate. I don't hate anybody. Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I hate you, it means I just don't agree with you. It's, it's called freedom, folks. But the spirit I think, that’s attacking our children, that's causing this confusion, is causing them to be ignorant of the things of God, of the Holy Spirit, of Jesus Christ, of the church, of the word of God. 

The spirit of Molech wants to destroy our children because this demon spirit knows that to destroy our children is to destroy our nation; is to destroy our future. It's to ruin parents, is to ruin mothers, to ruin fathers, to ruin our hope. And so we as Christians, as Holy Spirit-filled Christians, we have a responsibility now. A responsibility to come against this spirit, rebuke this spirit, and call out this spirit because what the spirit- a demon spirit will cause confusion, that's one of the big ones. Mental confusion. It will also cause blindness and will in, and it also impairs us and impairs our ability to hear, our ability to learn, and impairs us in so many ways. 

And so once this spirit is cast out, then the way is open for the Holy Spirit to come in and have his way, and for the children- to come to our children; to come into the full knowledge of God. We need the full knowledge of God and you know, I'm a guy… When I was young, I did all kinds of bad stuff. Crazy stuff. And you know, I did drugs and um, sex, drugs, rock and roll. I lived all that era and uh, I'm showing my age now, amen. And so I'm not hypocritical about it but what I do see along with this no understanding. 

You know, I use the word ignorance which is a tough word but maybe it's better just to say complete lack of understanding of things of the spirit, and what understanding they do have usually it is some kind of dark spirit or some sort of sorcery that Disney is, is proposing or, or promoting or, you know, the Harry Potter stuff. And now of course Wicca is popular, the New Age stuff. All this uh, spiritualism that is just evil stuff but kids are drawn to it because again, we are all born with a spiritual hunger and if that is not filled with the Holy Spirit, that hunger if it's not satisfied with the Holy Spirit through the power of Jesus Christ, kids are going to seek other spirits and that's where Molech comes in. And his assignment begins to take hold and take fruit and we just we have to protect our kids.

We as Christians must protect our kids. You know, we're deliverance ministers and um, I've heard it said that, you know, certain people- deliverance ministries, or- that's not my ministry. Let me tell you something, part of the ministry of the gospel of Jesus Christ is deliverance. All Christians are called to deliverance ministry. Mark 16 says “these signs”, “these signs will follow those that believe. In My name they will cast out demons.” That's a sign of a believer, thus part of being a believer, okay? ge are part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We're ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ and deliverance is part of our mandate but it's not hard. 

Jesus said “behold, I give you authority over snakes and scorpions and all the works of the enemy.” James said “submit to God, resist the devil he will flee from you.” I don't think we're resisting these spirits enough. The Lord showed me something years ago in spiritual warfare, he said it's like a boxing match. You don't knock out your opponent with one hit, you have to punch him over and over again for them to get out and we need to start punching this demon spirit called Molech and get rid of this thing and command him to leave our children and our grandchildren our great-grandchildren alone. Get out. Your assignment is broken in the name and power and the authority of Jesus Christ.

How's the spirit manifesting? It's manifesting through darkened understanding; it's manifesting through abortion; it's manifesting through temptation, tempting our kids to, to go into sinful behaviors that God has forbidden. You know, it's one thing to fall into sin but it is another thing to celebrate it. And so much of our nation now is not only sinning but celebrating sin and that is something the demons love; and that spirit of Molech loves.

But tonight or today, whenever you're listening to this podcast, I want you to start doing spiritual warfare over your children. And it goes something like this. You begin with a prayer. Now listen, there's two things to do in prayer. You petition God and you ask for God's help and you listen to God and then you start making proclamations by taking the authority that God has given you. Now remember this, God is not an enabler. He's not going to do something for you that he told you to do. And he told us to cast out the demons. Now we can ask God to do it, and that's fine, but he told us to do it. He told us to do it.

So for me, in my prayer for my family, my children, and my grandchildren, it goes something like this: Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ I lift up to you my family. I lift up to you my sons, my daughter. I lift up to you my grandchildren in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, I take authority now over every unclean demon spirit; every spirit of antichrist, the spirit of Molech, the spirit that is trying to attack my children, my grandchildren. I command your assignment broken now by the blood and the authority and the power of Jesus Christ. I command you to get your hands off of my children and my grandchildren. Go now, your assignment is broken. I command your assignment to be broken. I command you to leave. I command you to go. I command you to stop. I command that you are null and void according to the word of God and the name of Jesus Christ, rebukes you. The authority of Jesus Christ rebukes you and I tell you, get your hand off of my children and my family this day. You will not touch us anymore, in the name and the power and the authority of Jesus of Nazareth. I thank you Lord. Amen, amen.

That's how it works. So, this evil spirit named Molech must bow to the name of Jesus Christ and any Spirit like Molech similar to Molech must bow to the name and the power and the authority of Jesus Christ. But listen to me, you folks, listen to me. You must exercise the authority that has been given you. Take charge, speak it out. They're going to trespass until you tell them no more and command them out and off of your family in Jesus name. Just do it. Just do it.

Get mad about it; get angry about it. Speak with authority. You've been given His authority. Faith without works is dead. You have faith in Jesus Christ he'll do the works. And part of the works of the ministry of Jesus Christ is to cast out demons; to expel demons. And especially off of our children. I know this has been a serious message, it's coming out during the Christmas season, but I want you to know you know I love you, I care about you and I want Satan off of your back and off of your families back. And I want you to experience the peace and the love and the abundant life that Jesus has for you.

Sometimes we have to do the hard things to really enjoy the good things and the good things of God are wonderful. The blessings of God, the abundant life that Jesus promised us. It's wonderful. The peace that passes all understanding. Being able to fellowship and go into the presence of God and feel his presence and hear his voice that is the most important thing. So don't allow anything to stop that and we want our children to experience all that you're experiencing and all that you were taught but you see, this, this attack attacks their minds and their understanding. 

But now that you break it off of them in the name of Jesus Christ, they can understand. They can see, they can know, and they can be saved. And they can turn from these, this evil assignment and be brought into the power and the authority and the wonderful kingdom of God in Jesus name. 

Thank you so much for this; for listening today. You know, I really, really appreciate you. I hope it hasn’t been too heavy. That, the goal is not to get all wrapped up in demons, the goal is to glorify Jesus Christ and live abundant life and let your family live abundant life; and let your children not be confused anymore, and not under any spell anymore from this day forward,  amen? This is Dr Ray Self. I appreciate you listening today. This has been Self Talk with me, Dr. Ray Self.
