Occult Objects Can Give Demons Legal Ground
.
By Steven
Bancarz
It is
very common for people who were once involved in the occult to feel conviction
from the Holy Spirit to throw out their occult object, books, and divination
tools.
The Bible
is very clear that idol-worship is a serious sin, and that witchcraft and
sorcery are worthy of hell fire.
“Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity,
sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of
anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and
things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who
do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.“ – Galatians 5:19-21
Furthermore, the Bible equates idol worship with demon worship
in Revelation 9:20, Leviticus 17:7, and Deuteronomy 32:17 where it reads:
“THEY SACRIFICED TO DEMONS THAT WERE NO
GODS, TO GODS THEY HAD NEVER KNOWN, TO NEW GODS THAT HAD COME
RECENTLY, WHOM YOUR FATHERS HAD NEVER DREADED.”
The idol
has no will, ability to produce an effect, or independent power of its own (as
it says in Jeremiah, Isaiah, etc.), but it is possible that an object can carry
a certain spiritual oppression or presence along with it because of
what it is attached to in the spirit.
We all
know there is a different in spiritual nature between an alter used for child
sacrifice to Molech, and a bag of potatoes.
One
carries a spiritual oppression and attachment along with it because of the
demons it is associated with, and one is neutral.
“NO, I IMPLY THAT WHAT PAGANS SACRIFICE THEY
OFFER TO DEMONS AND NOT TO GOD. I DO NOT WANT YOU TO BE PARTICIPANTS WITH
DEMONS.” – 1 CORINTHIANS 10:20
This
spiritual oppression can cause a change of atmosphere in your house and attract
nasty spiritual activity into your life, which may include some of the
following things:
1. Oppression over a certain room in your house. A dead, hazy
atmosphere.
2. Disturbances and activity in the spirit.
3. Foggy headedness and a cloudy mind.
4. Doublemindedness, an urge to go back into the occult.
I noticed
that there was dark spiritual activity in my house after I got saved, and it
was because my house with filled with New Age books and idols that I had not
thrown out yet from when I was involved in the occult.
So, I put
together a video recently talking a little bit more about occult objects, and
giving a list of things that should be thrown out or burned:
