"Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices," (2 Cor. 2:11).

WHY A BOOK ON REBECCA BROWN?

God's purpose is to perfect us, to make us more like Jesus. Our warfare is in the spiritual world, not a physical war. God wants us to exercise spiritual discernment in our churches and our lives. Rebecca Brown has targeted the Body of Christ with her books. She is not writing for the secular world. If her theology is erroneousness and cannot stand Scriptural scrutiny, the Christians should welcome those who will expose her books to protect our people from deceit.

I do not personally know Rebecca Brown. This book is based upon the information that she wrote in her books and testimonies presented to the Body of Christ as Christian doctrines. I have used her own words to uncover her erroneous beliefs. I believe that her books present a very powerful Devil and a very weak Jesus. I also believe that her writings demonstrate more occult-witchcraft based religious doctrines than Christianity. The Apostle Paul warns, "Who has bewitched you?"

The Bibles says, 2 Cor. 2:11, "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices." One of his devices is to use false testimonies and ministries to sway the Church away from the truth.

Dr. Rebecca Brown's books minister more doubt than faith; more deception than truth; more sensationalism than fact; more Satan than Jesus; more New Age than Christianity. I challenge you to earnestly pray and seek the Holy Spirit concerning this topic.

The inspired Apostle Paul warned us: "Let no one deceive you" (2 Thessalonians 2:3). It is apparent that we are vulnerable to deception and we must not forget it. We must be on guard and protect ourselves against it. There is deception everywhere in the religious world. We must be alert. Paul was certainly a "heretic hunter" (as Paul Crouch calls people that are trying to discern the writings and ministries of those who give the church improper teachings that would harm their souls... better to hunt heretics, discovering and disregarding any false teachings, than to be deceived or bewitched by them! ).

The words: deceit, deceitful, deceitfully, deceitfulness, and deceive, are used again and again in the Bible. It is one of the major themes. There are warnings everywhere in Scripture about being deceived. There are numerous warnings about the users and purveyors of deceit. The underlying Greek words for deceit cover everything from self-deceit to the practice of deceit by unprincipled religious teachers and con- artists. So, we are warned repeatedly and must be ready (2 Corinthians 11:3-4, 13-14).

"Deceit" is defined as:

1. The act of representing as true what is known to be false; deceiving, or lying.
2. A dishonest action or trick; fraud or lie.
3. the quality of being deceitful. ⁽⁹⁾

British scholar W.E. Vine defines the Greek words: apate and dolos, that underlie the various English words for deceit:

"APATE . . . to cheat, deceive, beguile, that which gives a false impression, whether by appearance, statement or influence . . . In Col. 2:8, 'vain deceit' suggests that deceit is void of anything profitable . . . DOLOS . . primarily a bait, snare; hence: craft, deceit, guile." ⁽¹⁰⁾

I prayerfully ask the Father to give you discernment concerning the contents of this book. It is not intended to hurt anyone, but its mission is to reveal the true nature of Dr. Brown's books and their possible spiritual devastation upon those that read them. God bless you and according Matthew 18:18, I take authority and bind religious spirits that may try to control your mind while reading this material and loose the power of the Holy Spirit for wisdom and understanding, in the name of our Lord Jesus, to help you understand His Word and all truth.

IGNORANCE OF THE WORD

Closet Witches 1, and Closet Witches 2, these tapes are offered to the Body of Christ and are considered to be sensationalistic and farfetched by many Christian leaders. They can only be believed by "babes in Christ". Knowledge of the word will tell you that these testimonies are being given by 'spiritual fruitcakes'.

Jack Chick, of "Chick Publications Company" has published two cassette tapes, Closet Witches 1 and Closet Witches 2 and two books: He Came To Set The Captives Free and Prepare Ye For War, considers anyone who disputes these tapes and books as a spiritual enemy.

In Closet Witches 2, Rebecca describes something called "counter- petitioning God" in which she pleads with God not to let Satan do things to other Christians. She apparently gets flashes of insight into Satan's plans and then asks God not to let them be carried out. She serves a very cold-blooded, mean god!

Rebecca also details some unorthodox views of the character of God, the Father and Jesus Christ, the Son. In Prepare Ye for War, Rebecca describes a conversation she supposedly had with Jesus: "Suddenly, that gentle voice of the Lord spoke to me again saying, 'Talk to me, child.' She tells the Lord Jesus, 'I can't talk to you, Lord, I don't feel any different from before, and all you do is get mad!'' Jesus supposedly tells Dr. Brown, "But I am not mad at you, I never have been. You see, I, Jesus, know how you feel because I have experienced weakness. Father has never experienced weakness, so He usually gets angry when His people are weak." ⁽¹¹⁾ How absurd!

On the tape, Closet Witches 2, Chick says, "I think the listeners should watch carefully who in the Christian circles will attack Rebecca and Elaine (last name never given) to destroy their credibility and the message on this tape. More than likely the attackers just might turn out to be Satanists or witches pretending to be believers in Christ and it is going to be very, very interesting to watch." ⁽¹²⁾

It is easy to attack believers who do not agree and believe the credibility of Rebecca and Elaine as being valid and calling them names. However, as this book will cause to be seen, Rebecca Brown's writings are simply not sound in Christian Doctrine. We are supposed to judge the preaching that presents "Christian" teachings to our brothers and sisters in Christ. If these teachings do not line up with the Word of God, then we are called to disclose their errors for the protection of Christians. Whenever, someone claims to be Christian and chooses to write their beliefs to the Body of Christ, hopefully, the scholars in the Church will examine our work to see if it is good, sound doctrine for the Church, then, Scripturally expose it. Thankfully, there were men who bravely discerned the works of Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, and a multitude of other false teachers. We know that demons disseminate false doctrines: 1 Tim. 4:1; II Pet. 2:1; II Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 19:20.

2 Cor 11:4, "For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him."

Jesus challenged us to become discerning Christians that we could not be entrapped by "wolves in sheep clothing," (Matthew 7:15). Then, in Matthew 7:22-23, " Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me ye that work iniquity."

There are those that are preaching another Jesus and another gospel. If their testimonies do not line up with the Word of God, junk it!

JOHN TODD ~ ANOTHER "CHICK WIZARD"

Chick Publications, once known primarily as a publisher of Gospel tracts, has gained notoriety as a publisher of sensational stories or tracts and books. Most notably are those of a supposedly former witch called John Todd, who claimed to possess knowledge of an occult, conspiratorial society called, "the Illuminate". The late John Todd was uncovered by many respected ministers as being a false prophet. Demons produce deception and bondage. They work through humans and we must know how to recognize the work of demons in this last hour.

I was a hostess of a local talk show during the seventies, when Todd came to a local independent Baptist church. He accused every major Charismatic ministry in the world as receiving money from the Illuminati. He was casting aspersions on every "Holy Spirit" filled ministriy as "being of the Devil." His entire ministry amounted to accusing holy men and women of being connected to witchcraft and bribery from the Illumnati.

Fortunately, Todd was exposed!

Now Chick Publications offers Rebecca Brown and a woman she calls 'Elaine' (last names are never mentioned on tapes or books to the Body of Christ. The interesting thing about Elaine is, she claims that she was a "former" bride of the devil. She becomes, in these books, Dr. Brown's authority concerning occult experiences. Rebecca always asks Elaine questions about witchcraft and then Brown writes Elaine's answers or comments about them as though they were Christian doctrines.

Author's Note:

There are three key words identifying witchcraft: manipulation, domination and intimidation. These words translate into "control." Anytime someone asserts authority not given by God it is call witchcraft; it is rebellion against delegated authority. When one uses such illegitimate authority, one resorts to manipulating, dominating or intimidating in order to rule over other people!

ELAINE'S BIZARRE STORY

The so-called former witch, Elaine, gives her testimony of her entrance in the dark world of witchcraft. She claims that she was born with a cleft palate that required surgical repair. She says her family could not afford the cost of surgery. A nurse told her mother that the work could be done in exchange for nothing more than a thimbleful of Elaine's blood. The blood would be for experimental use. Elaine claims the blood was used in a ceremony in which she was sold to Satan. She tells of the events that lead her to further involvement in witchcraft and Satanism.

ELAINE WEDS SATAN!

Elaine describes being introduced to or forced into Satanism after being inducted into Satan's service at a witchcraft camp. She made a blood pact with Satan by signing her name in blood and began to climb the ladder of power in Satanism. She recounts of becoming very powerful, and contending for power in a national competition of witches where she surpassed all her colleagues and was named top witch. ⁽¹³⁾

Elaine claims that "A crown of gold was placed upon my head and my fellow cult members bowed down and gave homage to me ... I was treated like a queen ... I was given all the beautiful clothes to wear that I could possibly want. I was bathed, my hair fixed, and I was waited on hand and foot by servants. There were parties and I always had a handsome escort who was also my body guard ... My escort always tasted all of my food before I ate to make sure that it wasn't poisoned." ⁽¹⁴⁾

"Elaine goes on to say, she married Satan himself, who donned a white tuxedo and rented a Presbyterian church for the ceremony. After saying their vows, the newlyweds were whisked off by limousine to the airport and Satan's luxurious private jet... on their way to their "haunted honeymoon" at a mansion in California, Satan sipped "very expensive wines and champagnes." ⁽¹⁵⁾

Elaine claims that she "became Satan's representative on an international level", going around the world to meet with heads of state and foreign dignitaries to negotiate the sale of arms.

Some of her activities as Satan's bride:

"I also made a number of trips to other countries. I have been to Mecca, Israel, Egypt, also the Vatican in Rome to meet with the Pope. All my trips were for the purpose of coordinating Satan's programs with satanists in other lands, as well as meeting with various government officials to discuss aid to their countries in the form of money. A few did not know that I was a satanist, but thought I was associated with a powerful, wealthy organization of some kind. People asking for money don't ask too many questions. The Pope knew very well who I was. We worked closely both with the Catholics (especially the Jesuits) and the high-ranking Masons.

It was during this time that I met many of the well- known Rock music stars. They had all signed contracts with Satan in return for fame and fortune." ⁽¹⁶⁾ She makes claim of being possessed by a demon named "Mann-Chan" and was able to speak foreign languages fluently. ⁽¹⁷⁾

Elaine links the Roman Catholic Pope into the worldwide occult network she says she supposedly headed. "The Pope knew very well who I was. We worked closely both with the Catholics -- especially the Jesuits -- and the high-ranking Masons." ⁽¹⁸⁾

PLOT TO KILL DR. BROWN

Elaine told Jack Chick that Satan had told her there was a 'young, smart doctor' at his 'special' hospital in a nearby city. This doctor was not only greatly interfering by 'preaching and praying everywhere', but had also actually dared to interfere with a number of his top witches and their work at that institution." Elaine alleges "Satan ordered me to organize a nationwide effort among all the top witches for that doctor's destruction. He didn't care how we did it, but that doctor must be killed, and quickly." ⁽¹⁹⁾

The young doctor turned out to be Rebecca Brown, an intern. Elaine immediately started working on her assignment. Still, Elaine says, "every time I did an incantation in the direction of that doctor, the demons came back unable to get through." ⁽²⁰⁾ (This is a very interesting statement, because after Elaine's "conversion" (according to Rebecca Brown's books), they both were constantly under attack from demons, Satanists, and witches. They could never get any victory over demons, witches and wizards. Dr. Brown never gives any testimony of victory concerning their demonic warfare! Elaine says her difficulty in ruining Rebecca spiritually turned into a defeat for Satan. Through this supposed incident and other events, Elaine supposedly became a Christian.

Satan was angry. "The first thing that they (Mann Chan, and fellow demons) did was fly right off and tell Satan what I had done," Elaine told Chick. "Then the fur started to fly. That night after I had returned home Satan came to talk to me, but things were strangely different. Usually Satan would come up to me and put his hands on my shoulders or hold me in his arms. This time he stood back away from me and shouted 'What the Hell do you think you are doing?' 'I'm leaving you', I replied." ⁽²¹⁾

After a heated discussion ensued, Elaine claims that she ordered him to leave! Can you imagine that? She ordered Satan to leave (?) I have personally ministered to many former witchcraft people, and I can tell you, I've never seen one that thought that they could have order Satan to do anything! Elaine said, "Satan came to me nearly twenty times over the next two weeks. Sometimes in a very charming mood, attempting to be a lover, but usually in a rage. He tried to persuade me to change my mind." ⁽²²⁾

Truly, if you believe that testimony, you'd believe that dogs can have cat's whiskers! - especially since she described a human sacrifice and knows Satan's monstrous acts of terror and cold-blooded nature. "I watched in utter horror as a crown of huge long thorns was driven into the young man's head. The thorns going in so deep as to pierce into his skull... Finally, he was nailed to a wooden cross which was then picked up and placed in a hole in the ground, just in front of the middle of the platform. I will never forget the stench of the burned and tormented flesh, the screams of the victim, his writhing agony, his pleas for mercy..." ⁽²³⁾

And then, "Satan appeared in human form as usual, dressed completely in shining white. But his eyes glowed red as a flame and he threw his head back and gave a howl and a scream and a hideous laugh of victory as the high priest drove a long spike through the man's head, pinning it to the cross, killing him. The crowd went crazy, screaming and shouting and dancing in crazed ecstasy at the "victory." They loudly proclaimed all victory and power and honor to their father, Satan. Satan vanished shortly after that to go on to the next Black Sabbath sacrifice. At his departure the meeting turned into a sex orgy. Human with human, and demon with human." ⁽²⁴⁾

The various people over the years that I've ministered to, tell of a well -organized kingdom that is controlled by terror and fear. No human being that is engulfed in Satanism would ever attempt to challenge Satan's power. If they come out, they have to be taught that Jesus is the superior power and how to use His name, prayer, blood. The deliverance minister usually has to cover them until they can stand in their new faith!

ELAINE'S MISSION

Elaine reported that Satan's next move was to make Elaine ill and put her in "that particular hospital," where she was placed under the care of Dr. Brown. Then the story's narration is picked up by Rebecca. She states that God told her Elaine still had hundreds of demons and needed deliverance. She states "(God) told me that He wanted me to have Elaine move in with me immediately as she did not yet have faith enough to stand on her own. Her (earthly) husband had left her and remained with the Satanists." Since the hospital was under the control of Satanists, Brown alleges she and Elaine were targets of "the Brotherhood" (i.e., a group of people who are directly controlled by, and worship, Satan). ⁽²⁵⁾

Nowhere does Dr. Brown ever question Elaine's testimony. After persuading Elaine to leave the "cult", she received a disturbing letter in the mail:

"The letter to me detailed my activities of the past two weeks perfectly, right down to what I had bought at the grocery store. They knew my address and phone number. The told me that if I ever spoke to or saw Elaine again that they would come and get me and sacrifice me. Elaine's letter told her that if she ever saw me, and that if she did not return and repent and serve Satan again, that they would get her and sacrifice her at the upcoming Black Sabbath. One line in each of our letters was very similar to the letter from the field commander of the king of Assyria to King Hezekiah. They said, 'You two are fools if you think your God can protect you from our Prince of Darkness!'" ⁽²⁶⁾

Dr. Brown goes on to describe weeks and months of daily life-threatening battles casting out demons from Elaine:

"The demons began to surface and speak through Elaine. I had never seen anything like it. Her eyes, voice, and whole face changed. I will never forget the first demon. Suddenly a guttural male voice said, 'I am Yaagogg, the demon of death, and you are all fools, you cannot win, we WILL KILL this foul traitor. She belongs to Satan and he will not permit her to live.' ⁽²⁷⁾

From this testimony, Rebecca Brown weaves a powerful occult book that leads her and her readers into the depths of the world of Satan's darkness. The problem is, Brown, seemsto present a very prominent Devil and a weak Jesus Christ throughout her books. Occult/witchcraft-based philosophies are employed throughout Dr. Brown's books. She even describes her own experiences with the Prince of Darkness.

DR. BROWN AND THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS

Dr. Brown related her own encounter with the evil one:

"Suddenly, a shining figure appeared and sat down across the table from me. He was in form as a man. As I sat staring at him in silent amazement the Holy Spirit forcibly revealed to me who he was! This was the LAST being I had ever expected to personally meet. This shining figure presenting himself in radiance as an 'angel of light' was actually the Prince of Darkness, The Prince of the Power of the Air, ruler over a vast kingdom of evil - Satan, himself!" ⁽²⁸⁾

Satan had a conversation with Rebecca asking her if she really dared to come against him and told her to count the cost. He said, "Woman you had better count the cost because I tell you, I will make your life an agony and an anguish that you never knew could even exist!" ⁽²⁹⁾

Dr. Brown has many interesting stories. Once she confronted a "werewolf".

"One evening at dusk I was driving from my office back to the hospital to see a patient who had taken a turn for the worse. I was alone in the car and was driving down a stretch of isolated country road where there were no houses or buildings within at least a one mile radius. Suddenly, about a block ahead of me a huge werewolf (sic) stepped out into the middle of the road. As I approached closer, he raised up and stood on his hind legs. I put my foot down hard on the accelerator intending to swerve around him but the car didn't respond. It glided to a stop, motor still running, despite all my prayers and attempts to make it go. I sat there staring in horror at the most incredibly ugly and fierce creature I had ever seen. I felt as if I was drowning in the pure evil power that radiated from him. He threw back his head and howled - a terrifying sound which I shall never forget.

Then he looked straight into my eyes and told me, 'You can't go anywhere - see, I have stopped your car and there's nothing you can do about it. Now I'm going to enjoy ripping your throat out and drinking your blood. You have been interfering with Satan too long; I am going to punish you. You cannot stand against my power.'" ⁽³⁰⁾

Author's Note

Witchcraft is the use of a person employing Satanic power. It is Satan's way of imposing his will on your will and enforcing emotions, behaviors, or circumstances on people they would not otherwise want. Witchcraft enforces Satan's will by its power primarily though curses and spells. Many Christians get caught up in some prophetess or prophet by wanting to be told "what God is saying about them." Really, if you want to know what God is saying about you, study His Word.

REBECCA AND ELAINE'S PATHETIC SO-CALLED DELIVERANCE MINISTRY

Rebecca goes on to say God wanted to make another covenant with her to enter into the "deliverance" ministry. Rebecca says she was told by God that this covenant was her call to "directly combat Satan and his demons" which would result in "loosing [sic] my career, my family, all my friends and nearly everything I held dear." She felt that if she did not enter into this covenant with God that she would lose her relationship with the Lord. ⁽³¹⁾

Rebecca says she accepted the commission. Joining her was Elaine, fresh from an eight-week exorcism of Mann-Chan and several hundred other demons. Together they joined God to fight Satan.

Rebecca goes on to say, "Their first challenge was the Satanists at the "nearby hospital". Demons and witches -- the witches were doctors and nurses on the hospital staff...that were making patients sick. Their ministry, Rebecca says, blocked much of the witchcraft that was going on there. This defeat of Satan, coupled with the loss of his bride, Elaine, "caused Satan to 'lose face' in his kingdom." ⁽³²⁾

Rebecca writes that Satan launched a counter-attack, threatening to make Rebecca and Elaine human sacrifices. However, the Lord's protection prevailed and Rebecca fulfilled His desire to "open a private solo practice so that I would have a broader range of patients. This was necessary so that He could bring to me the people I was to minister to, especially cult members." ⁽³³⁾

Rebecca says that at her new, small-town location, she "was privileged to bring close to a thousand people out of hard-core Satanism... Every penny I made went to help these people with food, clothing, transportation out of the state, medical care and so on." ⁽³⁴⁾

Rebecca and Elaine go on to tell of encounters with Satan, his demons, Satanists and witches, curses and counter-curses, being shot at and having their house bombed. Another blow, Rebecca says, was that Satanists were "the instruments of my mother's death". ⁽³⁵⁾

One final blow sent them running for their lives, Rebecca says: "Satan struck one of his final blows to our ministry in that area. The Satanists swept in, and in one night, while Elaine and I were out of the house for a couple of hours, destroyed everything we had. They axed everything in my home, even killing our precious pets. They also destroyed my office and everything we had. Elaine and I escaped with our lives and the clothes on our backs, that is all. Satan's attack was so well planned that at the same time everyone turned against us ... We had no choice but to flee the state." ⁽³⁶⁾

HUMAN SPIRIT OR ASTRAL PROJECTION

Is it possible for a so-called "human spirit" to astral-project (soul travel) from one's body and enter another body that belongs to someone else and use that body?

Dr. Brown claims that a human spirit can possess a person, even superseding the will of the person! Before we start this expose` of Rebecca Brown's weird ideas, I challenge you to send me scriptures confirming that another person's human spirit can invade another person's body and where it is found in the Bible. It is, for sure, "witchcraft procession" that is found in metaphysical books. Let me explain.

First: Astral projection, also known as soul travel is an occult teaching that a person can "will" or, make their "spirit body" come out of their fleshly body and their spirit body is able to go anywhere in the universe. (The Bible does confirm witches and wizards can soul travel !)

Ezekiel 13:20, "Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly."

I Samuel 8:19, 20: "And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? For the Living to the dead? "To the law and to the testimony: If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." ⁽³⁷⁾

This is the manner that Bishop Vagalas Kanco, The Witch Doctor and the Man, described astral projection or soul travel... He says, "On the spur of the moment, my father blasted forth with a strong whistle sound and instantly two very powerful demons appeared. All of a sudden, I felt my spirit releasing itself out of my body. One of the demons entered into my body and took control of it to keep my body alive while my spirit was not there. I felt as free as a bird. My father's spiritual body was moving to take my hand. I looked back to see our bodies, sitting on the rock, as we started walking toward the sea. Our bodies appeared to be alive! It was eye-deceiving, as the bodies were moving and gesturing to each other against the dusk of the night, as demonic spirits occupied each body." ⁽³⁸⁾

However, if it's possible for a person to soul travel, as the occultists teach, then it would be highly questionable as Dr. Rebecca Brown teaches, that a person's spirit body could possess another person's body and take over their will without their consent and make them do things that they would not want to. Devils have to have the consent of the person to possess them totally). Dr. Brown teaches that these "human spirits" can do anything they want to because they are "not subject to obedience to God!" If Dr. Brown's theories are true, surely, we would find some Scriptures to back up these practices in the Bible, in both Testaments of the Word. Yet, these are things that are described in Rebecca Brown's book, He Came To Set The Captives Free, And Prepare Ye For War, as Christian Biblical Theology...

HERESY OF SO-CALLED "HUMAN SPIRITS", TO CONTROL OTHERS

The Bible does not tell us to cast human spirits out of a person but it does give us the authority to cast out devils. Neither Jesus nor the Apostles are ever shown casting out "human spirits." "Now The Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience pierced with a hot iron; forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth." (1 Timothy 4:1).
