Jackie Hill Perry's Witchcraft Warning About Christians, Satan, and the Occult

Jackie Hill Perry, an author, speaker, and poet who inspired millions with her story of leaving a gay lifestyle and finding true fulfillment in Jesus, issued a warning earlier this year that Satan is trying to destroy an "entire generation of Christians with witchcraft" Perry, who is out with a new book, "Upon Waking: 60 Daily Reflections to Discover Ourselves and the God We Were Made For," made these comments in January during Passion 2023, warning about young people increasingly engaging in "witchcraft."

The author expanded on these statements during a recent interview with CBN Digital, reflecting on why she believes the church sometimes neglects to address the spiritual warfare we see detailed in Ephesians 6 — and why she so boldly tackled the issue from the Passion stage.

"Witches are bold," Perry said. "Witches are very out loud and bold about their rituals, and their altars, and the means by which they can access the spirit realm independent of Jesus, right?" Perry continued, "And you have an entire generation that is on TikTok being introduced to these powers and this ability to find strength, to find peace, to find some sort of control over their lives, over their minds, and even over others through supernatural means."

But she warned about these quests and said it's essential for Christians to talk about the issue out of love and concern for others. "We have to speak to the fact that people believe that there is power and other dimensions apart from Jesus himself," Perry said. "But Jesus came and said that you cannot worship the Father, you cannot access God if you are not doing it in spirit, by the power of the spirit, and in truth, according to God's Word."

In the end, Perry said a failure to discuss these issues means we're "leaving a lot of people lost," and implored Christians not to fear Satan. "We can't be scared of the devil," she said. "He's defeated, but we also can't be so rational that we think everything is a matter of logic and not also a spiritual reality at play." Perry said the devil is "crafty" and that believers can often improperly come to believe that what happens in churches is all "flesh and blood" when, in fact, spiritual matters could be at play.

I love that she is more concerned for people than afraid. She fears God more than man. Respect.

[Monika]

This is so refreshing -
I use to be transgender, God reconciled me to the truth -
More people need to hear these stories -

[armyantlocsta]

She seems “biblically brilliant.” I’ve never used this adjective with anyone until now. Praise the Lord.

[honeylavender]

“The truth sets people free. I have no intention of lying to you just to make myself feel more comfortable.” That’s so good!

[readingoutpost]

God bless this dear young woman! She has gained so much wisdom on her new journey with God.

[cherisemckenzie]

I love that CBN invited Jackie. We need more of her voice!

[donnascott]

Powerful! The church is more concerned about building big platforms with millions of followers but not preaching and teaching sin. We motivate more than anything else because that’s what majority wants to hear.

[christnme]

I love how she's on fire for God & teaching the gospel. People practicing witchcraft are becoming more bolder with it. We must be even Bolder for CHRIST & spreading the Gospel.

[TheKweenNaNah]

I love how she uses scriptures to speak and affirm what she has to say i can’t wait till I have that strength in scripture in the tongue cause just listening to scripture through her talking is so fruitful.

[mbalenhlebuthelezi]

Lord, Yahweh, Jehovah.. protect Jackie.. keep her, protect her family and her marriage.. may your hand always be on her .🙏🙏

[martinleslie]

Amen! What sister Jackie said at 11:29 is exactly what happened when I first lay my life down at the feet of Jesus back in May 2020. I was 15 and going through a major identity crisis ✝️🥹. Jesus really saves and a verse that always reminds me of this is Psalm 18:6 “In my distress I call out to the Lord, I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, my cry came before Him into His ear”🥺❤️‍🩹 . Indeed “who the Son sets free is truly free indeed”, “Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom.” Romans 1:16, “ For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus the Christ, because it is the power of God unto salvation for all those who believe. First to the Jew and also to the Gentile.”

[rickyt]

I like her...she's real
hadn't heard of her, but ill look her up.
thank you!

[mmmonkay]

i love that, “write what you want to see”.

[ss]

I love this girl, been following her for a while. She's been a huge blessing to my God walk, so I'm very glad to see personalities on here that are more likely to influence the younger generations 🙏

[elenadavila]

So powerful and also so simple. I love this lady, God bless her.

[ksuvia]

I love her with passion cos she is speaking Jesus Christ language that’s all . God bless You Jackie and May The Holy Spirit keep guiding u.

[lonebutterfly]

Those HONEST conversations I had with the Lord is how I was finally able to see Him visible and working in my life. Trying to find my place in and trying to find how I can serve God's Kingdom are what I am "working on" at this point in my life. I never fit in anywhere I go. I now understand that I have been set apart for purpose. I still don't know what that is but He will reveal it to me.

[rhondahart]

I so love this woman! she walks with the Lord. I'm reading holier than thou right now, so good. Thanks for interviewing her!

[maryhansen]

That's why I am not satisfied in my quiet time with just a short devotional. Jackie nailed it. I am eager to see Jackie's Devo. Loved her Jude Bble study---It was intemse, thought-provoking and brilliant. It took me a loooong time to finishe the homework, but I learned a lot and was nourished by Jackie's scriptural insights and questions. She's a gifted teacher.
