This video series exposes sorcery and witchcraft in the churchworld. Although we are not the authors of this series, as additional videos are released, they will be posted here. Evelyn entitled her series "Priestcraft" and defines that as:The way false shepherds operate and the different tactics they use to draw disciples after themselves & deceive them, seduce them, manipulate, brainwash, coerce, intimidate, threaten, guilt, dominate, extort, exploit, control, and bewitch their followers (meaning to put them in awe, wonder, astonishment, and cause them to be out of their minds) .
I have heard a similar concept described by Pastor Gary C. Price as "spiritual sodomy" and it is a very apt description.
The Gospel deals with the spirit of man via the mind of man. God transforms our understanding by imparting a knowledge of who He is. In Him, we come to a knowledge of the truth that transforms who we are via the new birth.
"And be renewed in the spirit of your mind." Ephesians 4:23
In spiritual sodomy, a person uses illegal entry to man's spirit by attempting to control the soul through his emotions or lusts. Such does not result in spiritual conversion, but soulish conformity. Instead of being born again through life in Jesus Christ, one merely becomes a clone of the personality of man.
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves." Matthew 23:15
A common trait of those who have been spiritually sodomized is that they develop inordinate soul ties with those they follow. This often displays itself as people's identity being tied up in that individual. They even take it personally when these people are criticized and inwardly feel as if they are being personally attacked. These things are not normal for a born-again believer. While we should always stand for truth, but we are not to be yoked to the personalities of men.
"Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD." Jeremiah 17:5
When we look at how Jesus dealt with people, we do not see Him working people into an emotional frenzy in order to get them to receive a blessing from the Lord. Nor do we see Jesus "toning up and hooping & hollaring" in order to preach the Gospel. The entertainment that men seek so desperately is a counterfeit to the soberness we are exhorted to have in God; and it is deception.
Seeking an alternative to the disciplines of the Gospel of Christ experienced via true relationship with God, people will flock to teachers who tell them "smooth things".
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." II Timothy 4:3-4
I am sure this series will touch on things that makes some folks uncomfortable as it addresses alot of the "religious" activity which has come to be seen as a normative church experience. However, as you watch the videos, consider what is seen in the light of Scripture. Don't let your traditions or personal experiences define for you what is Godly, but test the spirits to see if in fact it is of the Lord. If so, it will be confirmed by His word.

Did you know that Jay-Z is now apparently authoring praise music to the Most High? Neither did I. Watch the video to understand.
