World-famous streamer IShowSpeed, whose broadcasts draw hundreds of thousands of live viewers, recently entered the home of a self-proclaimed witch for a spiritual “reading.” The video has since gone viral, prompting revivalist and deliverance minister Isaiah Saldivar to issue a strong warning to believers and young viewers alike: “Run from this demonic stuff.”

“This is the largest streamer right now, period,” Saldivar said. “He’s making a huge impact on the youth, good or bad.” For that reason, Saldivar reacted to the clip to expose what he calls the spiritual danger behind “modern witchcraft” and “New Age deception.”
“Reiki is Witchcraft”
In the video, the woman describes herself as a Reiki master, life doula and intuitive, a blend of New Age spiritualism and energy work. Saldivar didn’t mince words. “Reiki is witchcraft. The Bible says it’s detestable,” he said. “Mediums, psychics and witches are talking to demons and getting information from demons. I’ve done deliverance on people who came out of this and are now Christians.”
As the woman instructed IShowSpeed to “be open” to the experience, Saldivar explained what was really happening behind the scenes. “That’s what the devil wants,” he said. “He wants you to be open so these spirits can enter. These demons want to live inside of people.”
Crystals and Chakras: “An Open Door for Demons”
The witch then handed IShowSpeed a crystal and began discussing “chakras,” spiritual energy centers in the body according to Eastern religion. Saldivar rebuked the entire ritual. “All these crystals and demonic items, they seem innocent. They’re not. The devil comes masking as an angel of light. This is how he enters into people.”

He explained that these practices are a distortion of what the Bible teaches about the body being a temple of the Holy Spirit. “It’s all demonic,” he said. “It’s a perversion of God’s design.”
IShowSpeed’s Fear and Escape
During the encounter, IShowSpeed became visibly uncomfortable. “He’s feeling the demons in the room,” Saldivar said. “He probably grew up in the church. He’s feeling the demonic spirits and the atmosphere.”
Moments later, the streamer suddenly stood up and left, claiming he had forgotten something outside. Saldivar applauded the decision. “I never thought I’d say this, but what he did was exactly what all of you should do. Run. Run from witchcraft. Run from this demonic stuff. It’s all detestable.”
This Is Not a Game
Saldivar called the situation a sobering example of how witchcraft and New Age spirituality have infiltrated mainstream entertainment. “This is the largest live streamer in the world casually going to a witch’s house for a reading,” he said. “She was about to start communicating with a demon that’s familiar with him. It’s all divination. It’s all witchcraft. Don’t get involved in this.”
He warned that once people invite demonic spirits through occult practices, deliverance is not simple. “Once you get a demon in, it’s not as easy as you think to get it out,” he cautioned. “If you’re involved in Ouija boards, crystals, seances or any of that, you’re opening yourself up to demons.”
Pray for IShowSpeed
Despite the serious tone of his message, Saldivar’s heart for IShowSpeed was clearly revealed. “Keep praying for him,” he said. “I’m praying he gets saved. If he ever watches this and wants deliverance, hit me up because he definitely needs it.”
Saldivar closed by reminding viewers that deliverance from demonic bondage is possible only through Jesus Christ. “I deal with people constantly that have demons because of this stuff,” he said. “But Jesus came to set the captives free.”
The encounter serves as a modern reminder of Scripture’s warning in Ephesians 5:11: “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness but rather expose them.” Saldivar’s message stands as a call for believers to stay vigilant against the spiritual deception now disguised as entertainment.
