[Psalm 51:17]

Any occultic practice, ouija board, horoscope, tarot, numerology, altered states of consciousness, etc. as well as participation in any ritual of the other religions to include yoga, karate, and reiki can indeed open a door. The curse is due to seeking out solutions from supernatural beings other than God. The judgment is that He will let one do it. The beings claim a right to occupy the host due to agreement. Ex-witches, when trying to move toward Christ are often surprised to find out that they have these things inside them.

Biblically, there’s only one reason to ever communicate with these things - to get them to vacate.

I agree that Jesus Christ is the ONLY person that can and does deliver people from this.

You've probably seen my "Help" thread in the Fellowship forum - I had this encounter with a "Christian missionary" in Israel in Dec. One minute, he was telling me that God told him that b/c I have fear of driving a car, I have no love of God walk in darkness, and have idolatry in my heart to boot, which is why I was headed for the lake of fire. Next thing I knew, he crept up on me and told me to look into his eyes and take deep breaths...and almost immediately afterward he asked me to repeat a couple of words, while he started yelling at demonic spirits to come out of me.

At the moment, it felt like a knife was put at my throat, but the Holy Spirit was telling me that what he was doing was NOT right, so I just cried to the Lord to help me and save me from this. I regretted that I didn't stand up for the truth and recite bible scriptures at him, but nonetheless I am very thankful I didn't submit to his wicked nonsense. I mean I pretty much hinted at him that I was resisting this(when I didn't respond to what he wanted me to do like looking into his eyes), but he still subtlely forced himself on me.

I mean the whole thing he was doing was just STUPID to begin with - he said NOTHING about me having demonic spirits(like said, he said I lived in darkness, have no love for God, and am an idolator), but he nonetheless snuck up on me and tried to pull off this charade under our noses. Yes, he was pretty much literally YELLING DIRECTLY at (supposedly)demonic spirits to come out of up.

Even worse, he did it RIGHT in our OWN LIVING ROOM(in front of my parents, and in front of my mom's pastor) - Shame on that pastor for falling for what he was doing. And I'm still trying to convince my parents what he was doing was witchcraft and necromancing(my mom said my face grew white, although I tried to tell her it was b/c I was horrified). Ultimately, he did NOT point me to the word of God.

BTW - 95% of this world walk in darkness and are adolators(b/c they reject Jesus Christ, of course), does that mean they're all *demonically possessed*?
