Valley, you have rejected good counsel I doubt you will find answers if you don't have a willingness to accept truth.
There's a lot of witchcraft, darkness, confusion, and discouragement in the churches and afflicting many christians, most of them unaware. I have to listen only to wise, godly, good, and uplifting counsel. Goodbye.

God told us to seek his face love your neighbor as yourself, and to pray for your enemies. Not go on a hunt for the "one left"

I invite you to use discernment. It's impossible to know much about anyone without spiritual discernment. I was in at least one church where five satanist plants were exposed after having been in the church for 15 years. It took that long to expose them because no one was using spiritual discernment. They were on guard (the natural state of man to judge everything primarily out of or by his/her need to remain safe from harm), and they only judged those people by outward appearances and how they 'seemed'. Well, they seemed christian but were exposed to be molesting kids, raping women, torturing men, poisoning the church gathering food they always volunteered to make, and cursing people into all kinds of sickness (and maybe death). Spiritual discernment also makes you patient with people and you aren't easily offended. The sinners, heathens, and pagans around Jesus didn't rub Him the wrong way; only the self-righteous religious leaders and people did. christians should strive to be the same.
You don't need satanists for symptoms like that. In the Bible those symptoms were caused by not taking communion seriously.

Joy and pain can both be caused by many different things. That church didn't need satanists, but in their case satanists were the cause of those symptoms.

I wrote a post two days ago about the reality of occult infiltration in churches or among God's people (a dynamic the Bible mentions and warms God's people about in both OT and NT) and christian ministries and circles but I guess it didn't pass inspection because it never posted.

Wolves among God's people (some of them christian, some of them occultist, and some of them other) is a legitimate issue and until the coming times when God releases believers who will begin to address, confront, and deal with it, it's here to stay.

Yeah, no, witch hunts don't usually pass inspection. Something about the parable of the tares or something.
