The term amulet (Latin amuletum and means "an object protects a person against a problem ") bears some relation to the term talisman (the Arab طلاسم tilasm , and Greek Telesma or telein "which means" to initiate someone into the mystery. ") Is any portable object that superstitiously ascribed any supernatural virtue: good luck or ensure the protection of their own ( apotropaic effect ). The amulets are usually: gems or stones , statues , currencies , drawings , hanging , rings , plants , animals ... even prayers used at specific times.
Amulets are some of the oldest objects of humanity, as the man saw in them the way to escape the evils that afflicted, were physical, moral or spiritual.

The belief in amulets is rooted in the hearts of the peoples and cultures, as a faithful reflection of the need that man has to believe in something or someone, you beware of the dangers of witchcraft, of demons. And as has become part of the folklore of peoples, it is hard to uproot the soul of a culture. Christ said, "You will know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Only the Word of God is absolute Truth can change the way people think, because of course, the beliefs and customs, often known as a tradition, rather than liberate, tie, instead of giving birth, the people surrounding them subtly. The sad thing is that people have even made the Bible and God himself an amulet, a "Contra." Many leave an open Bible near the birth of their babies, or business, or the living room of their houses, and argue that by having it open automatically make the miracle of protection against demonic attack or intrusion by thieves, other amulet deal Psalm 91, and even have it framed on the wall of his house, thinking that way will be delivered from evil. The same applies to the name of God, many written on the front door of their home or business, the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and not for the purpose of identifying themselves as faithful servants of the Lord or as Christians, but they do with other intentions, and for them the name of our Redeemer, connotes only an amulet that may save from all dangers.
The name of Jesus Christ and His Word are not amulets, or are part of the folklore of the people, Jesus Christ is the Incarnate Word, our Redeemer, is God us, and said in the Gospel of John He came to give life and life in abundance, not only to save the lives of people or make them free from sin, He wants you to eternal life by his side, also looking for Jesus who does not see how a simple charm, an object to tread it in a purse or pants pocket, he wants to live in the human heart and it has permanent communion with him in the Gospel of John says that seeks worshipers who will worship Him in Spirit and truth. He lives and is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and promised to never leave you nor forsake ever.
As the Word of God in Hebrews 4:12 says
" For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart. "
And in Psalm 119:105 says
is a lamp to my feet your word,
and a light unto my path.
The Word of God is not a simple charm, is the map of humanity, the mirror that reflects the condition in which the human being is without Christ, is the port and hope for the tired, the promise of God to you and me, is the rule of faith and behavior.
In Psalm 1 tells us to meditate on it day and night, and everything we do will prosper.
The Word is the manna, and Jesus is the Bread of Life, Soul Food. Rhema Word should be in our hearts, and live knowing that his promises are true, we must not forget that "God is not man that He should lie, nor a son of man to repent " Numbers 23:19
is the time for we turn to Christ and His Word, and obey what the Word says in Colossians:
2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Let us live according to Christ 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of Deity
2:10 and you are complete in him, who is the head of all principality and power.
now do not know Christ and His Word a simple charm ...
With love to you and me ...
