Signs in the End Times Church (Part 2)

Part 2 – Christian Witchcraft Continued from http://mitchellmalloy.blogspot.com/2012/06/signs-in-end-times-church.html I feel like the last year or so has been a sort of rediscovery… to again understand what I previously knew but had in part unwittingly forgotten. I’ve realized that I’ve strayed slightly in my understanding. I’ve tolerated certain teachings and beliefs that quite frankly don’t line up with God’s Word. As my mind has cleared, I’ve adopted a phrase to describe a particularly nasty issue within the Church: “Christian Witchcraft”. This practice is not “Christian” in it’s orginal sense as a “follower of the Way”; rather, it has found its way into some church cultures. It’s a strong phrase and it should raise concerns, but I believe it’s scripturally sound. I’ll explain, starting first with my understanding of witchcraft.

Signs in the End Times Church

Part 1 – My Journey into Signs and Wonders I’d like to be writing about God’s love – how to rest in His love and how to walk in it. And to be honest, I want and need more of His love – second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour… forever! But I feel compelled to write first about signs and wonders in the end times church.  I believe we are either in or very near to the end times. Sure, Christians have believed this for ages, and I don’t doubt that some people will scoff at my beliefs (2 Peter 3:3), proposing other ideas (Jude 1:18). I’m not saying that we are definitely near the end times, but it’s my belief that we are… and it’s been my belief since a very young age that I would live through the end times. I don’t know the day or the hour, but I do know that the time is nearer than it has ever been and that the Church fathers warned us of its proximity (Rom 13:11, Rev 1:3, Rev 22:10). One thing is certain, we are nearer to the end times now than we have ever been before.
