Pastor spills secret on kids summoning 'demons'
WND EXCLUSIVE
14 hours ago
'We are seeing more of this because it was predicted in the Word of God'
Young people around the world are trying to summon a demon in the latest trend sweeping social media – but a well-known pastor and Christian author believes those who participated in the “Charlie Charlie challenge” are fooling themselves about the realities of the spiritual realm.
Pastor and bestselling Christian author Carl Gallups told WND: “The ‘Charlie Charlie’ trick is just that – a trick. In fact, it’s an old bar room parlor trick that originally involved putting two cigarettes on top of each other, only now it’s two pencils. It’s very easy to manipulate and make it look like something is happening by itself when actually it’s just someone breathing on the pencils, usually the person filming the ‘challenge.’ So these kids are not actually summoning demons or anything like that.”
But the mundane reality isn’t stopping media outlets around the world from discussing the phenomenon and more broadly entertaining the possibilities of conjuration. MTV even lightheartedly suggested nine other demons people can summon.
In the “Charlie Charlie Challenge,” participants align two pencils in the shape of a cross and ask, “Charlie, Charlie are you here?” Supposedly, the pencils then move to indicate the entity’s presence. On YouTube, videos of participants filming themselves doing the “challenge” are racking up tens of thousands of views.
Gallups sees real significance in the massive reaction to the “Charlie Charlie Challenge.”
“This story is everywhere in mainstream news coverage, even though there’s nothing actually there,” he said. “People are utterly fascinated by it. And interestingly, much of the fascination seems to be coming from the United Kingdom.”
The author of “Final Warning: Understanding the Trumpet Days of Revelation” believes while the challenge itself is bogus, the spiritual world and demons themselves are real. And Gallups believes the massive reaction to the challenge by a post-Christian culture reflects the hunger people have to experience spiritual realities.
He observed, “We live in a secular culture and here we have all these people that are so aggressively secular, so aggressively anti-Christian, who believe in evolution, and yet they are so quick to want to contact a demon.”

The Danger of "Calling On Spirits"
Belle Ringer
May 29, 2015
...Every generation must deal with the latest repetition of age-old practices that threaten to infiltrate and destroy the relationship between man and his Creator. Throughout the ages, man has intuitively known that "something" exists beyond this earthly realm, and has been tempted to communicate with the spirit world. In our youth, we were introduced to the Ouija Board, a board "game" in which one could supposedly summon spirits from "the other side", who would respond to questions by moving a pointer around the board. Little did we know how dangerous that so-called "game" really was.
...
Scores of short video clips, posted mostly by teens, show players shrieking and running out of view when the pencil apparently moves on its own and points to a “yes” or a “no” after they say a phrase inviting the demon.
But Spanish exorcist Jose Antonio Fortea told ACI Prensa (the Catholic news agency serving the Church in Latin America) that the so-called #CharlieCharlieChallenge involves the very real, occult practice of “calling on spirits.” In an interview May 27th, Father Fortea warned that “some spirits who are at the root of that practice will harass some of those who play the game.” Even though the priest thinks that players “won't be possessed” necessarily, the spirit that has been invoked “will stay around for a while ... resulting in other spirits beginning to enter into even more frequent communication.”
I must tell you that such communication with spirits is not confined to children or teenagers. My husband and I were contacted by a woman who we have been quite close to, who said she had a message for us from a "Spirit Master" who has appeared to her. Supposedly he told her that she needed to convey to us some important information that she wished us to know about our future. We politely and firmly declined her offer.
This woman, who professes to be a strong Christian, described channeling spirits "with long white beards" who were her "spirit guides" to a closer connection with God. When we refused to hear what they had to say, she tried to tell us anyway, and my husband had to tell her we did not want to hear one word of what she, or they, had to say.
Folks, this is not just some old history that we read in ancient Scriptural passages. People are just as interested in invoking spirits and messing around in the spirit world today as they were in the Bible. And God's warning to us is as relevant as it was in Leviticus 19:31: "Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them."
The problem is that people who entertain contacting such mediums aren't aware that most modern channelers learn the art through the practice of Eastern meditation. Meditation involves "emptying" or "clearing" one's mind in order to "receive messages from the spirit realm". But what everyone should realize -- especially Christians -- is that we are to be filled with the Holy Spirit, who will give us unity, light, and wisdom with our Savior and Father in Heaven. Emptying our minds only presents the opportunity for a spirit imposter to enter our consciousness. Remember, demon spirits have no problem telling some of the truth to hide their deception; and just because a spirit can tell the truth and acknowledge the authority of Jesus, doesn't mean it is a good spirit.

God Forbids You to Summon 'Satan's Demons,' Play 'Charlie Charlie Challenge,' Pastor Robert Jeffress Says
By Samuel Smith
May 30, 2015
The "Charlie Charlie Challenge," the newest game sensation being played by children and adults throughout the world, should have Christian parents concerned that their children are committing an act "detestable" to God by summoning a forbidden demon, Dallas megachurch pastor Robert Jeffress said Friday.
...
Jeffress, who is an author and pastor of the 11,000-member First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, explained in a Friday statement provided to The Christian Post that the Bible explicitly warns Christians not to try to summon a demon spirit.
"The Bible is clear that Christians should run — not walk — away from any attempt to contact or harness demonic powers through games like 'Charlie, Charlie,' Jeffress wrote.
"Deuteronomy 18:10 uses the term 'divinations' to refer to activities that involve contact with demons and warns 'whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord' (Deut. 18:12)."
"Any parent who takes the Word of God seriously will do whatever is necessary to keep his or her child away from games like these, which God has strictly forbidden," the 59-year-old Jeffress added.
Jeffress further advises Christian parents who witness their children playing Charlie Charlie, to use that as an opportunity to have their children connect with Jesus, rather than the devil's demons.

This is nothing more than a simplified Ouija Board.
Would you let your families use a Ouija Board?

Children hospitalised with mass hysteria, 'mysterious bruises' and a 'Mexican demon': How a video in the Dominican Republic spawned the 'satanic' Charlie Charlie game sending teenagers into a panic across the world
By Alasdair Baverstock for MailOnline
9 June 2015
...Christopher French added: 'Even the slightest [draft] or someone's breath will cause the top pencil to move... and the precariously placed pencils will move around regardless of whether you summon a demon after balancing them.'
But parents at the Juan Pablo Duarte Primary School in the town of Hato Mayor in the Dominican Republic, where the original video came from, say their children were 'possessed by Satan' after playing the playground game.
'Three students were absent from class because their parents believed they were possessed by the devil,' deputy headmistress Jovita Jimenez told MailOnline.
Ms Jimenez's school is one of various throughout the Hato Mayor region of eastern Dominican Republic, a country where voodoo black magic is common, that has been subjected to what she describes as the 'satanic craze'.
The pastime has since gone viral over social media, as people film themselves asking 'Charlie' whether he's there to hurt or kill them, and then uploading their terrified reactions to YouTube marked with the hashtag #charliecharliechallenge.
...
The trend was picked up by Dominican television station Telenoticias which reported on the game's mysterious effects at a local school in Hato del Rey.
'The students and parents alike have been terrified. Many have appeared with inexplicable bruises on their bodies,' said Ms Jimenez following the day's classes in the Caribbean island community.
'It's a craze that has gone too far... It's very dangerous for a young child to play with contacting the paranormal and diabolical,' Doctor Kelven Guerrero, who works at the Hato Mayor del Rey Hospital, told MailOnline.
He added: 'It can cause a great amount of trauma in a young person... The entire community has been very disturbed by it. It's caused a lot of discomfort.
'One of the major problems has been that in order to start playing a child must ask permission of Charlie to play.
'But Charlie also has to give permission for the game to end,' he ominously added. 'There have been many times when he has not done so and it has caused great trauma in the child.
'It's dangerous for a child to stop playing "Charlie Charlie" without his permission.'

This rang alarm bells for me in the article :
**** 'It's dangerous for a child to stop playing "Charlie Charlie" without his permission.' ****
There is absolutely ********** no difference ************* using this "game" to using a Ouija board.
There is absolutely ********** no difference ************* using this "game" to using a Ouija board.

There is absolutely ********** no difference ************* using this "game" to using a Ouija board.
When I was a teenager ( and before I came to Christ ) my mother got the whole family involved in using a Ouija board. I never liked it, and was wary from day one.
Eventually I refused to use it and the "nice spirits" who were involved through the board, all of a sudden turned nasty, and started issuing threats directly against me.
I eventually got bad pneumonia, which for a healthy 16 year old, was unusual.
My mother swears she was pushed over by a demonic spirit that smacked her face first into the footpath/sidewalk, after she destroyed the broard.
Later on, a spiritist said to us that threats and injury were not un-common by the demons who use ouija borards to seriously mess with people.
*************************** DO NOT TOUCH THIS SIMPLE OUIJA BOARD ********************
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. ( 2 Corinthians 11:14 ESV )
“If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.
( Leviticus 20:6 ESV )
“Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.
( Leviticus 19:31 ESV )

The complete, true story of Charlie Charlie, the ‘demonic’ teen game overtaking the Internet
By Caitlin Dewey May 26
If you are one of those crotchety people who believe the kids these days are somehow less inspired than generations before, then I come bearing new evidence: Even their superstitions are lamer than ours!
“Charlie Charlie,” a game/Internet urban legend of sudden and inexplicable popularity, surged to the top of the global social media charts this weekend after kicking around on the Spanish-language Internet for much of eternity. As of this writing, #CharlieCharlieChallenge has been tweeted more than 1.6 million times. More people are Googling “Charlie Charlie” than virtually any other news event.
...
Why is it popular again right now?
It’s always hard to say exactly why these things trend, but the latest bubble seems to have begun in late April in the Dominican province of Hato Mayor, when a local TV news station broadcast a very alarmist (and unintentionally funny) report about the “Satanic” game overtaking local schools. From there, social media users in the Dominican Republic began tweeting, Instagramming and Vining about the game; by mid-May, the phrase “Charlie Charlie” was trending on Dominican Twitter, an easy jump away from the rest of Spanish-language Web.
Meanwhile, over the weekend, a 17-year-old girl in central Georgia Instagrammed her game and slapped it with the hashtag #CharlieCharlieChallenge. That hashtag was, apparently, all the kids needed: It’s been tweeted 1.6 million times since then.
