​​​​​​​​My late mother had invited me and my three brothers into her court that night September 1964. School had started [yech] but so had the fall television season, so all was not lost. Bewitched the new television series was starting that night. This show produced many theories as what a witch was. Some many years later when I read what the Bible said witchcraft was, I was disappointed.  What? No pointed hats and flying brooms. But at that time that’s all my carnal mind could see and not what was hidden to my eyes of flesh. Job 10:4Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth? Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? O Foolish Galatians Who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth? You have been bewitched yourself when you or I  DO NOT OBEY THE TRUTH. Not only do we disobey the truth but rejects it as well, even as King Saul did. 1 Samuel 15:26  And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. We repeat when we disobey the truth we are been Bewitched by our carnal mind. We believe our own carnal interpretation on God’s word and think there is no other interpretation. We then think we are some great one as Simon the sorcerer. Act 8:9  But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one.Psalm 25:11 For thy name's sake,O Lord, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great [See our article ''The Tongue] 
 Thousands of today’s Preacher proclaim great thoughts on the word of God’s bewitching millions of people. Modern day Sorcery or let us use the word mind-control. Pastors ways or their thoughts on God’s unrevealed word is hidden from their carnal mind, they are lost and do not ever know it. 2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost. Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. Men has their own truth or wisdom that their carnal mind put on God’s word; they makes God's truth their unrighteous truth.Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.   1 Samuel 28:7  Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at En-dor. King Saul was a wicked man therefore an evil messenger was sent to him, his own spirit.  Proverbs 17:11  An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him. When the carnal minded man refuses to wait on God’s spirit he uses another spirit his own a familiar spirit. No you do not need to go out a buy a Ouija Broad. You were born with one, the carnal mind. Psalm 51:5  Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Leviticus 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits. The carnal mind is a familiar spirit and as the witch of Endor it can only bring up something dead with we go to God's word. !We trust our own thoughts more than we do God’s word because there are familiar to us in fact we fear them.  Instead we should fear God’s word, his truth and we never have. Psalms 86:11  Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. If your heart is united to fear His word then we are no longer in rebellion. 1 Samuel 15:23  For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. In modern time men rebellions against the power that be or Governments. Carnal man rebels against God’s government in thoughts and deed or work. When think we got saved and filled with Holy Ghost in a 90 minute Church service, we have been bewitched. In the television show the lead character Elizabeth Montgomery played Samantha the witch and her mother played by Agnes Moorehead name was Endora. Now in the Bible, King Saul found a women who had a familiar spirit at Endor. Have you been the Endor? At Endor you are in the flesh and you will perish there. Psalm 83:10Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. Michael Rudolph Hodges 6/13/2016/ amended 5/8/2021 /amended 7/20/2022
