Do children’s books have indeed such a positive influence on the development and life of a child, as claimed? Many people consider children’s books harmless, beneficial, and educational, but is that true? Unfortunately, this rule doesn’t apply to all children’s books. There are many children’s books that don’t have such a positive influence on the child but have a negative influence on the mind of the child. Many people often underestimate the negative influence of children’s books on the mind. For most parents, the danger of children’s books is hidden. They are not aware of the spiritual dangers and what their child is exposed to. What is the danger of children’s books?
Most children’s books are inspired by the kingdom of darkness
Behind the visible realm is the spiritual realm. Everything in this world has its origin in the spiritual realm. For example, look at the creation. God created out of the spiritual realm, through His Word and His Spirit, the heavens and the earth, and all there is within. What existed in the mind of God, God brought into existence through His Word and His Spirit. That’s why the creation testifies of the Almighty God because the origin of creation is in Him.
For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse (Romans 1:20)
It is the same thing with books. They come forth out of the mind of a person. The mind of a person can be inspired by the Holy Spirit (the Kingdom of God), but also by demonic powers (the kingdom of darkness). Unfortunately, most children’s books are inspired by the kingdom of darkness.
Therefore through books, many children are exposed to the kingdom of darkness. Evil spirits enter and captivate the minds of the children and control their lives.
What is the result of reading books,
that are inspired by the kingdom of darkness
Therefore, it’s no wonder, why children become more rebellious, hyperactive, restless, louder, aggressive, disobedient to parents, selfish, prideful, narcissistic, manipulative, have strong wills, go their own way, and so on.
Psychologists and psychiatrists can give all kinds of names to ‘deviant behavior’. They can analyze behavior and through the philosophies of man, determine the cause of their behavior. But the truth is, that the cause of the behavior that deviates is not found in the natural realm, where psychologists and psychiatrists are operating, but in the spiritual realm.
Therefore psychologists and psychiatrists, who operate in the natural realm, will never be able to ‘heal’ the patient and solve the problem completely.
They can treat the patient, by applying human methods and/or using medication to relieve and ‘control’ the problem, by changing the chemical balance in the brain and nervous system, but they can’t solve the problem and heal the patient.
The problem will always return and/or will get worse. Because they don’t get rid of the root of the problem, which is found in the spiritual realm.
How you raise a child and protect a child, as a believer, contributes to the development and behavior of a child.
God has given the responsibility to the parents to raise their children in the Word of God. God has given them the instruction to teach their children His way and to protect children against evil. Even if this means that you, as a parent, have to take a stand against the knowledge and methods of the world (Read also: ‘The lost child‘).
Innocent children’s books are often not fascinating enough
According to the world, books are very important for the development of a child. Therefore many parents read bedtime stories to their children from a young age.
As written before, not all books are dangerous for children. But unfortunately, children’s books that are ‘innocent’ are very hard to find. Because ‘innocent’ books are often not exciting and fascinating enough to captivate the child’s attention.
A writer wants to sell as many books as possible, because the more books the writer sells, the bigger the revenue. A writer is not concerned about the well-being of a child, but about the well-being of himself/herself.
Many children’s books are full of lies, magic, sorcery, witchcraft, fortune-telling, violence, and so on. By reading these books, parents make their children acquainted with the occult dark realm.
From a young age, children are exposed to the occult world by the drawings in books, like strange (one-eyed) monsters, minions, creatures, sorcerers, elves, goblins, witches, magicians, spirits, and so on. Children will be fascinated by these occult creatures and will eventually consider them as ‘normal’.
Are fairy tales innocent?
The world has taught us, that fairy tales are innocent and that there is nothing wrong with it, but that’s a lie from the devil. Because when you look at fairy tales, they are full of fantasies (lies), magic, sorcery, witchcraft, violence, evil behavior, death, etc.
The devil uses fairy tales to enter the mind of the child. A young child doesn’t know the difference between reality and fiction. The child will listen to the words and look at the images and through delusions, the child will wander in an imaginary world. Demonic spirits will enter and take the mind of the child captive.
These evil spirits will reveal themselves and manifest themselves in the child’s life through the behavior of the child.
The child may have sleeping problems, nightmares, fears, become aggressive when something doesn’t go the way he/she wants, be easily angry, rebellious, manipulative, and disobedient to parents, etc. Evil spirits can also manifest themselves in the flesh through sickness and diseases. When a child is sick all the time, it is a sign, that something is not right.
Remember, what happens in the spiritual realm, will eventually become visible in the natural realm. That’s why you know, what kind of evil spirits are operating in the spiritual realm. All you have to do is look at the behavior and the life of a child. When a child has a deviant behavior (behavior that doesn’t line up with the Bible; the Word of God) you know that the (spiritual) cause is an evil spirit.
Demonic influences in children’s books from 4-11 years
Now let’s have a look at some children’s books. I won’t mention any names of books, or names of authors. I will only mention the demonic influences of books.
Let’s start with children’s books for 4-11 years. We read about:

The child will be fed with all this information and it will be stored in the mind of the child.

Books can cause mental health problems
Reading the wrong books can be a gateway for demonic powers. Demonic powers can enter the life of the child and cause mental health problems. Maybe these evil spirits won’t manifest themselves immediately, but eventually, they will manifest themselves, especially during puberty.
Books can create other personalities; alters
Some children and teenagers consider books an escape from reality. Especially when the child’s situation at home is not too good or when a child suffered (a) traumatic experience(s). By reading books, many children wander in an imaginary world. This can become very dangerous. They will identify themselves with the main character of the book, and copy his or her personality and behavior and make it their own.
They pretend to be this person and as soon as they pretend and act upon it, they will create another personality within themselves. Psychologist calls these personalities alters. But in reality, the child has invited a demon spirit into his/her life.
At first, it may seem very normal for the child to withdraw from the real world and enter his/her own imaginary world and pretend to be someone else. But eventually, these ‘imaginary personalities’ which are in reality, evil spirits, will become real personalities in his/her life and will take control of the child’s mind.
The child will develop multiple personalities within him/herself, also called a multiple personality disorder or a dissociative identity disorder. These multiple personalities; which are in reality demons, will control the life of the child (young) adult). These demons will control the mind, speak lies to the child and command the child what to do. They will hurt the child and cause destruction in the child’s life, which could eventually lead to suicide.
Have you ever wondered, why so many actors are not happy, addicted, depressed, suicidal, and have lots of mental health problems?
Children can copy wrong behavior through books
Besides the development of multiple personalities and other mental problems, children can also copy wrong behavior. For example, they can read a book about a person, who experiments with drugs, sex, or has an eating disorder, and copy this behavior. By copying this behavior, an evil spirit will enter and will control the life of the child.
Children can sell their souls to the devil
When children or teenagers read a book, in which the main character is involved in occult practices, like being a member of a sect or freemasonry, channeling with spirits and inquiring them, practicing sorcery, witchcraft, magic, etc., they can become so fascinated by it, that they will bring into practice what they read. By doing that, the child enters the spiritual realm, from the soul and connects himself or herself with the devil.
A loss of reality
A child can lose sight of reality by reading all kinds of books and wandering and living in a self-made imaginary world.
Let’s have a look at a book, which is written for teenagers. The book is about a person, who is traumatized. The person struggles at home and doesn’t feel loved. To make a long story short, she blames her parents. Her parents are the cause of all her problems. Then she meets a guy and has sexual intercourse with him. But this guy doesn’t have a good influence on her life. But according to her, her parents drove her into the arms of this lover. Therefore her parents are the ones to blame for her actions. Her parents are the cause of her misery. In this book, we see a spirit of self-pity, trauma, rebellion, and perversion.
Now, let’s have a look at the influence of this book on the life of a teenager. Let’s say that this teenager, who reads this book, is a girl.
When one of her parents corrects or disciplines her, she will identify herself with the main character of the book and put herself in a victim role. The correction of her parent is normal, but the child will not consider the correction as normal and turns it into something big.
A spirit of self-pity will cause her to feel not understood, not valued, mistreated, neglected, etc. while in reality, this is not the case at all. She will drown herself in pity and cry. She will become disobedient and rebellious towards her parents (spirit of rebellion) because she considers her parents as her enemies.
Her parents are the guilty ones, they are the ones to blame, just like in the book. She will follow the example of the main character. She will copy her behavior and will look for affection outside her elderly home, which could lead to sexual intercourse (perverse spirit).
The child’s mind developed in a negative way
These are just a few examples, of what kind of demonic influence a book might have on the mind of a child, a teenager, or even a (young) adult.
When a child reads a lot of books, the child may lose sight of reality. He/she will consider his/her self-made imaginary world as the truth. The child may become delusional, because the child’s perception of things, will not correspond with reality.
The child will not be able to discern reality and fiction. This may cause a lot of problems when the child gets older, especially in relationships with others.
He/she shall perceive and interpret things differently, than what happens in reality. He/she shall imagine and make things up, which are not true. This is not surprising, because the child’s mind is fed with all these lies and his/her perception of reality is affected by this imaginary ‘filter’ of the mind.
Let’s not forget, there is always something with the main character of books otherwise books won’t sell.
The main characters feel different, they don’t feel loved and understood or feel rejected, dwell in self-pity, are traumatized, struggle with (terminal) sickness or addictions, have mental health problems, have a special occult gifting, have special powers, are involved in the occult realm or in criminal activities, etc..
Are comic books innocent?
Most comic books are also influenced by demonic powers. They are full of new age, channeling spirits, sorcery, spiritism, magic, crystals, supernatural powers (occult), reincarnation, witchcraft, war, violence, etc.
Who is the author?
When you buy a book, have you ever looked at the life of the author? Do you know from what mind the book is coming from? What do you know about their mental state? Have you ever wondered why so many successful authors have mental health issues and suffer from a.o. severe depression, bipolar (manic depressive disorder), is suicidal, DPD, schizophrenic, struggle with addictions, etc?
Many times, creativity is connected with demonic powers.
When writers open themselves to these evil spirits, they will become inspirited and write the most awesome novels. But what they don’t know is that they have invited evil spirits into their lives, who will cause a lot of harm.
Yes, they will inspire the mind of the writer, but the writer has to pay the price.
The devil never gives something freely, the devil always requires something in return (sacrifices).
You cannot use his powers, without paying the price. And the price will often lead to the total destruction of a person and/or his/her family.
Just like the Bible is inspired and written by the Holy Spirit, through the use of man, many books are inspired and written by demonic powers, also through the use of man.
When a book contains magic, sorcery, witchcraft, violence, occult objects, addictions, sickness, rebellion, sex, etc. you know, who has inspired the author.
What do you do when your child is psychic?
If your child is exposed to occult books, then there is a chance that these occult powers have entered the life of your child. Maybe you experience, that your child has become psychic and has supernatural experiences. Maybe your child talks about the supernatural and spiritual things or spiritual beings or feels and sees things in the unseen world that you don’t see, or maybe your child has a spirit of divination.
When your child is psychic, it means that your child has been taken captive by demonic powers. These evil spirits control the life of your child. In Today’s society, being psychic seems exciting and interesting, but it is certainly not! That’s what the devil wants you to believe.
These evil spirits have only one mission, and that is to destroy the child. Therefore, it is for the benefit of the child, that he/she will be set free from these evil spirits.
Wake up, Christians!
Wake up, Christians! Don’t expose your child to these occult powers, who will not only enter through books but also through other forms of entertainment, like television, music, computer games, martial arts etc.
It’s about time, that the believers in Jesus Christ wake up from their spiritual sleep so that they will see the dangers around them.
If you want to prevent your child from becoming a victim of the devil, then you need to protect your child against these evil occult powers. Don’t let your child be taken captive by demonic spirits and be drawn into the kingdom of darkness.
How to set your child free?
Pray with your child, repent and ask forgiveness from God for the fact that you have exposed your child, through ignorance, to the kingdom of darkness and connected your child to evil spirits.
Renounce and break every connection with occult spirits and every spirit that doesn’t confess Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. Command them to go, and leave the body of your child immediately.
Teach your child the way of the Lord
God has appointed parents to not only protect the child but to raise the child in the Truth; the Word of God. So that, the child will get to know the living Jesus Christ. Teach your child the fear of the Lord, Who created the heavens and the earth. Share your testimony and raise your child up in the faith and teach your child good and evil.
Protect your child, instruct your child and correct your child. Teach them the way of the Lord, so that they will become followers of Jesus Christ instead of followers of the world.
