I Prayed have prayed
Lord Jesus, we are seeing an increase in darkness and occult practices in our world as people seek the wrong kind of enlightenment. We pray they would understand that You are the only source of wisdom, truth and light.

According to New Agers, a “powerful cosmic and celestial happening” known as the Lion’s Gate Portal of 2024, is taking place right now. Followers are seizing the moment by participating in occult rituals that they believe will impart dynamic divine power.

The Lion’s Gate Portal opens when the Earth, the star Sirius, and Orion are in alignment, forming a distinctive triangulation. Its name comes from the zodiac sign of Leo, which the Sun transits through during this time. Astrologers insist that this galactic portal was unlocked on July 28 and will remain accessible until August 12, 2024. During this time, it’s believed that powerful transfers of spiritual and cosmic energy can occur between the universe and humans. When this gateway opens, spiritual forces can be channeled on a higher level, which could reveal hidden mysteries, provide psychic downloads, create third eye awakenings, or grant supernatural prosperity and abundance.

Astrologers claim that August 8th is the best day to “step into your power” by accessing the Lion’s Gate Portal because it “marks the midpoint of the Leo season” and energies will manifest themselves at the highest level. Consequently, they suggest this can “fast track” your enlightenment. While it’s believed that the Lion’s Gate Portal opens every year, some followers are saying that this year’s occurrence is special because it takes place during a “dramatic Mercury Retrograde in Virgo and Leo.”

Witches Love Portals Like the Lion’s Gate Portal

The Lion’s Gate Portal is considered sacred to witches and wizards alike. Incantations and charms are thought to be more powerful, while rituals such as submerging and cleansing oneself in water, wearing amulets, or burning red candles can bring about spiritual transformation. The gateway is also revered as an access route for “divine,” dark feminine energy.

Rachel Stavis, author of Sister of Darkness, stresses that the season of the Lion’s Gate Portal is a “magical time” when one must “face the dark.” She says, “There are two major spiritual aspects of ourselves: our light and our darkness. Many people actively work to avoid their darkness: they ignore it, stuff it down, or bypass that part of themselves. But this is to their own detriment because we can’t move forward–even in abundance–without seeing, understanding and integrating our whole being.” Stavis unapologetically suggests it’s time to forget the “peace, love and light bull–t.” Instead, “thank your darkness,” and embrace your shadow self because it’s uniquely part of who you are.

Astrology and the Occult are Abominations

As Christians, we know that practicing astrology, accessing portals, channeling spirit guides and aligning ourselves with universal energies are forbidden. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 states, There shall not be found among you anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes, or interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord.

Additionally, Isaiah 47:13-14 reads, You are wearied with your many counsels; let them stand forth and save you, those who divide the heavens, who gaze at the stars, who at the new moons make known what shall come upon you. Behold, they are like stubble…they cannot deliver themselves from the power of the flame.

Light Exposes the Works of Darkness

Former professional astrologer Marcia Montenegro was delivered from the occult. She warns, “The belief that the patterns and movements of the planets, sun and moon reflect our lives is contradictory to the view of a living, omniscient God who created the heavenly bodies to reflect and proclaim His glory, not ours. Astrology is also often intertwined with the teaching that since we are all connected to the universe by a force or energy (which is sometimes considered to be divine or to be God), then everything in the universe is one and therefore, there is no true distinction between man and nature; this is called monism (all is one and one is all).”

Montenegro explains that astrology is an unfruitful work of darkness that’s intricately connected to the paranormal. During her days as a practicing astrologist, she often experienced distinct energies and psychic flashes as she was guided through charts and readings. She eventually realized that these demonic forces were feeding her data that she would relay to her clients. These deceptive bits of information would “hook” her clients and make her feel like the work was validated.

After being delivered from darkness and receiving the light of Jesus, she candidly shares, “Spiritually, I had been in a grave with the buddhas and the gurus and the seekers of wisdom who had rejected the truth of Christ. The complicated and intricate studies that had enthralled me, the endless layers of truths and realities I had pursued, the constant effort to evolve, the paranormal experiences, the need to believe in one’s own goodness at all costs, were all a maze and a trap.”

The Lion’s Gate Portal Is Just One Part of Heightened Occult Activity

These days, the occult is no longer hidden, but instead it’s being lifted up on a pedestal for all to see. The opening ceremonies of the 2024 Olympic Games in France, which featured drag queens, half-naked men and blatant pagan imagery, shamelessly brought the occult out into the open on the world stage. Prior to this, the 2023 Grammy Awards show publicly glorified Satan when a dominatrix clad Madonna introduced trans artists Sam Smith and Kim Petras, who performed a demonically inspired song called Unholy. If this weren’t enough, the Super Bowl halftime shows have been riddled with occultic imagery and themes for many years.

Lion of Judah v. Lion’s Gate Portal

When it comes to the occult, the truth is that many people are searching for a way to fill the void in their own hearts and souls. Sadly, in their quest for wisdom, they find darkness instead of light. New Agers and occultists want to access the Lion’s Gate Portal, but they don’t realize that what they really need is Jesus Christ, who is the LION OF JUDAH. He is the source of all wisdom, knowledge, healing, and divine energy in the universe.

People in this world hunger for transformation and divine manifestation, but those things can’t happen with a spirit guide, a deck of tarot cards, or through a mysterious portal. Thankfully, there’s good news because God provides a foolproof way to receive these things and more. 2 Corinthians 5:17 tells us, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”

Jesus commanded and commissioned us to go and tell the good news that salvation is found only in Him. Let’s pray that those seeking the Lion’s Gate Portal would encounter the Lion of Judah!

Lord Jesus, we pray for all those who are seeking enlightenment from the wrong source. Additionally, we ask you to close any portals that have been opened. We pray that you would boldly reveal yourself to the lost and deceived so they could find truth, healing, deliverance and salvation. Let them receive strength and power from the Lion of Judah, rather than a demonic portal.

This is just one more of the enemy’s tactics that we need to take authority over in the mighty name of Jesus. Satan, you are a defeated enemy. The first drop of our Savior’s blood rendered you useless. In the mighty name of Jesus, I drop the tip of the sword of the Spirit upon the head of all confusion, chaos, deceptive spirits that have their being through the enemy. I especially decree that you must cease to harass or harm President Trump immediately, in Jesus’ name. May the Angels of heaven replace the hounds of hell in his election bid. Thank You Jesus.

All 3 of our adult children are under demonic oppression which is blinding them, deceiving them and robbing them of natural relationships with family and robbing them of their destinies!

This situation is further enhanced by poorly trained pastors from seminaries that place denominational destinations ahead of sound BIBLE TRAINING.
This alone is the primary reason for the profoundly fractured Body of CHRIST.

This great article highlights what Father is showing us and the accompanying discomfort it brings. That discomfort is a signal for us to pray. Matthew 7:13 says many travel / go in by way of the wide road that leads to the wide gate and we must pray that Father empty that wide road and jam pack the narrow road.
To do that we must reject what we have allowed to infect our houses of worship which Yahweh will shake so that Mitzrayim will see that Pharaoh is not a god and so be saved.
Father, for Your name, for Your glory, for Your fame. Amen.

Abba, we cry out to You for those so deceived by the enemy. Please intervene in their lives to bring them to a recognition of their need for salvation, and Your provision through Yeshua. May they not embrace the darkness, but abhor it and repent of it. Wherever the occult has gripped individuals, families, and even whole communities we pray that the enemy’s grip would be loosened and destroyed by the light of Your glorious and incomparable Gospel.

The evil one makes nothing new or original, but rather takes the good gifts that God gave us and twists them. Read Psalm 19:1-6 “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech,…” God created the lights in the firmament of the heaven “for signs,” says Genesis 1:14, the signs are a proclamation of the Gospel in the stars. The constellation Leo is a picture of the Lion of Judah, the sub set or decans under that constellation flesh out the rest of the Gospel story – God crushing the serpent and redeeming us. The constellation Virgo – the Virgin Mary, Libra – the scales, man weighed, Aries – the Lamb. Cancer was translated incorrectly, it’s actually a picture of the Shepherd with His sheepfold. The constellations, and the decans under them that complete the story, are all pictures of God and what He has done for us. God wrote us a love letter in His Word, the Bible, but He also wrote it in the sky, “there is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.” Of course the evil one wants to usurp this gift, he doesn’t want you to know how much God loves you and the great cost He paid to rescue you!

    Jennifer is there a book which correlates the stars to the gospel story? I love the references to God and His creation, rather than Satan’s imitations. Thank you for sharing!

It takes The Whole Kingdom of God And His Christ to bring every victory and not giving up on HIS WORD!
Still believing for my family and HIS PROMISE. He’s watching over them because of what He knows has gone on and set HIS Plan into motion to set them free from the the deceiving captors to set them free from that captivity. Isa 29:24_25. Believing in the stretching of HIS PROMISE to cover multitudes.

You are right especially regarding the increase activity of the occult. I also think the present administration does not seek Jesus and obey Him. People get into the occult and have no idea what is really happening. The occult will destroy each person who is in it, unless Jesus helps them get out. The occult will killed each person involved. Satan has greatly deceived people with lies,lies,lies.
We, God’s children, in our churches, should be teaching and praying day and night to destroy the occult. We should not hide it, but pray and fight, Spiritually, to destroy the devils lies.Praying that all Satan’s lies will be revealed, and they will receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. Amen

Father God, wake up the churches to repent and seek your ways. I repent on behalf of my churches in my region of being social centers and bless us clubs, not a place that you call to intercede and pray for the lost souls. Forgive us. Let us turn to you at this time. In Jesus’ name.

Lord, we do lift up those caught up in the darkness. Reveal truth and bring these many men and women to the knowledge of the Lion of Judah!!! You are the LIGHT of the world. You are the key to TRUTH and FREEDOM. Break the chains of bondage and release those who have been operating in a web of sin, separated from their loving Creator. Through the blood of Jesus and POWER OF HIS NAME we commit these people to be rescued and drawn into Your kingdom by Your saving grace. Amen.

Dear Father, I pray specifically for each and every city, town, village, corner place in New England that harbors darkness from the occult be brilliantly exposed by the Light of Jesus and fall to their knees and thank the Lion of Judah for rescuing them from horrible, deceptive destruction. In the name of Jesus, the name above all names I pray this take place.
