Thank you for your prayers.

In the order for Christian baptism  
we ask the candidates to renounce  
the "glamour of evil."

One of the few places in the Bible that mention  
women putting on their makeup  
is the story of Jezebel.  
Before she was thrown to her death  
she painted her face, and put on her eyeliner.  
One of the most ancient practices in the world  
is the use of kohl  
to line a woman's eyes.  
It predates civilization.  
Lining the eyes  
makes them seductive  
and intriguing.

Witchcraft gets its first hook in our lives  
when we become enticed by it.  
Once upon a time  
churches banned attending movies  
the opera,  
and the theatre.  
Now many churches show movie clips.

One time I played a game with a friend.  
I called it "Seven Deadly Sins."  
While we were watching TV  
I turned the channel any time  
we saw one of the seven deadly sins.  
Pride, Lust, Envy . . .  
My friend finally told me to stop it.  
Constantly changing the channel  
was making us sick.

There are a lot of churches  
that rely on glamour to keep  
bums on seats.  
The big screens,  
smoke machines,  
good looking worship leader,  
and slick preacher are not an accident.  
This is how you draw a crowd for your show.

This is glamour.

Glamour  
is evil.  
It is about enticement.  
It is about seduction.  
And it looks innocent at first,  
but glamour is all about manipulation.

Witchcraft=  
manipulation,  
to control,  
to dominate.

I remember one day God told me  
I had to turn from what I learned  
in my ministry training.  
"A lot of what you learned  
was how to get people  
to do things **they didn't want to do**  
for you."

Ouch.

That subtle attraction  
to the pretty thing,  
That focus on the outward appearance  
over the inner reality,  
That ability to get results  
through a smile,  
the right connections,  
and the polished performance,  
are not the kingdom.  
This is the world.  
And the world  
coddles the flesh,  
and the flesh  
leads you to the devil.

There is nothing glamourous about glamour.  
It is just the hissing of the snake  
in the garden.  
"Did God really say . . ."

This is the first step down the road  
to witchcraft.  
And once you see it,  
you see it everywhere.

Father,  
I renounce the glamour of evil  
and all the ways  
the world tries to deceive me  
into believing that satisfying my  
fleshly wants is not costly.  
Help me see everything the enemy doesn't want me to see.  
Jesus  
help me remember  
that you were despised because  
you were not enticing.  
Amen.

He Never Fails,
