DOES GOD BRING NATIONAL JUDGMENT? LOOK AT THE VOODOO OF HAITI!

When the earthquake hit Haiti, every Christian bled for all of the problems that came upon the innocent women and children. Almost the entire nation was destroyed!    But we said right off that this was a judgment from God because of the evil voodoo that is birthed and prevalent in the population. Now even the secular media is "getting it." Haiti is horribly backward because of the demon worship, and it is not done by just a few but by almost the entire population! The statistics are staggering!    Many who know the country well admit that the suffering presently comes about because of its past. The nation, when breaking away from the French, called upon voodoo and "swore a pact with the devil" to overthrow their control. Ever since, "they have been cursed by one thing or another." Many do not realize it but voodoo is one of the official religions of Haiti, and its designation in 2003 merely granted official acknowledgment to a longstanding reality.    Today, it is estimated that between 50 percent and 95 percent of Haitians practice some elements of voodoo, often in conjunction with Catholicism. Some Haitians are honest about the issue. They admit that the poverty and political instability of the nation is brought about by the national practice of this witchcraft. Voodoo is by its nature fatalistic and primitive. Some had correctly said "The kind of religion one practices makes a huge difference in how the community lives."    Socially and religiously, voodoo lacks a visible infrastructure, but Catholicism is symbiotic with voodoo. The priests rarely try to stop its practice. The Church goes along with what the people do so that they will not be driven off from their Catholic practices.    Without the gospel, it is doubtful that voodoo will disappear from Haiti. It is very "close to the ground—it's a neighborhood to neighborhood, courtyard kind of religion." America is moving into demonic practices. Our nation is changing rapidly and shedding off any restraints of Christianity. Prepare for persecution soon! -- Dr. Mal Couch (Mar., 10)
