The Legal Rights that you give the enemy-Occult and Occult Practices

There are several different ways that a person can give the enemy the legal right to come into your life and invade your space. That is why it is so important that we read the Word of God and study to show ourselves approved (2 Timothy 2:15), that way you will know God’s Biblical outline on how we are to live our lives.

He doesn’t give us rules and stipulations to follow because He’s a “mean” God or He just doesn’t want us to have fun. That is very far from the truth! In fact, He gives us His Biblical outline so that we won’t fall victim to the devil and his demonic kingdom.

One thing that we need to make very clear is that the legal rights that we give the enemy are given to him because of a door that we have opened ourselves. The Scriptures reveal to us in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” That knowledge that it is referencing is the Word of God.

Make no mistake about it, the devil knows God’s Word very well and will use It against you any chance that he can! One of the major ways that we allow him and his demons into our lives is by dabbling into the occult and occult practices! It is one of the most dangerous things that any non-believer and believer can do!

God warns us very clearly in both the Old Testament and the New Testament when it comes to the occult and anything having to do with it!

In the Old Testament we can find it plainly stated in Deuteronomy 18:10-12 as it states, “There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you.”

Also in the New Testament as Galatians 5:19-22 details, “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

There is no getting around the strong warnings that the Lord gives every one of us regarding the occult and anything that remotely looks like it! The reason why He is so adamant about the warnings that He gives us when it comes to these practices is because of the “kind” of demons that you are inviting into your life by doing it! Let’s break down what the occult actually is so that you can have a better understanding of the dangers of it!

What is the Occult?

Secret practices and knowledge pertaining to the supernatural realm and all things supernatural used for personal gain, financial wealth, control, and power. Make no mistake about it; this is one of the most powerful tools that the devil uses to put people in demonic bondage legally where they become victims of heavy demonic oppression.

We are spiritual beings and because of that reason we all have a desire and interest when it comes to spirituality. The Lord wants us to connect with Him on a spiritual level through the Holy Spirit, but what happens with most people is that they don’t want to have a relationship with Jesus. So, that spiritual void that can only be filled by the Lord will remain empty.

So, what does Satan do? He will come to you as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14) with the hopes that he can persuade you into believing that a spiritual encounter through demonic occult practices is what you need to fill your spiritual void. Unfortunately, a lot of people including many Christians fall for these schemes. Before you know it, he has you so chained and shackled up that it will be extremely difficult to break free.

I had to fight some powerful demonic forces that tortured me mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally for years. I fell victim to the demons that enticed me to open many doors that were really hard to shut. That is why I am writing this information and spreading awareness to as many people as I can to prevent others from falling for the same traps that the enemy ensnared me in! I am going to list some of the occult practices in this article and the ones to come so that you can have an idea of what they actually are!

That way, if you are dabbling in any one of these areas or even thinking about doing so, you can get out of it now! These doors are very easy to open up but will take the Power of God and God alone to shut. The Holy Spirit is the only One more powerful than the demons that are invading your life because of those strong demonic doors that you opened!

Interacting in any way with Psychics, Mediums, Fortunetellers, or fortune telling (crystal ball gazing and palm reading)

The Word of God tells us in Leviticus 20:6 “And the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.”

The Lord is very adamant about how wrong it is to speak to mediums, psychics, fortune tellers or anyone that communicates with familiar spirits. The reason why this is important to understand is because as Christians we are to seek God and God alone for the answers or questions that we may have regarding our lives. Seeking another god through mediums or fortunetellers is where we can get ourselves into a lot of trouble.

The Lord makes it clear in Exodus 34:14 “(for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God).” This is not a request; He commands us not to put anything or anyone else in front of Him. When someone goes to a psychic, medium, fortune teller, etc. for answers we are telling the Lord that He is not the source that provides us with everything that we need. As Christians He should be the only One that you go to for answers.

Reiki Meditation & Transcendental Meditation & any other Meditation that does not involve Meditating on the Lord and His Word

Joshua 1:8 states, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

In other words, the Lord is letting us know that it is to our benefit that we meditate on His Word day and night. That way, God’s Word becomes engrained in our hearts and minds allowing us to know when we are in disobedience to His Biblical principles.

The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth, John 16:13, warning you when you go astray. The fact of the matter is when we disobey God’s Biblical rules and regulations; it leaves us vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. They will entice you, tempt you, and even use the people around you to get you to give them a legal right to wreak havoc in your life.

Reiki Meditation

Reiki is a meditative practice that has its roots in ancient Chinese and Japanese medicine. Sounds innocent enough right? So far from the truth, the word Reiki literally means “Universal Life Force Energy” which has nothing to do with God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit. The way that it lures you in is it seems innocent and harmless and is actually promoted as a way to help you “support your body’s natural healing abilities.”

Remember, Satan comes to you as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14) bringing you any alternative other than Jesus to try to get you to give him legal access to cause chaos and destruction in your life! When I first heard about Reiki, it was told to me by someone that I worked with that made it sound like it was so calming, soothing, and stress relieving that I just had to try it.

Me: being unsaved, uneducated in the things of God, and not knowing any of the Spiritual laws that the Lord provides us with, I fell right into that trap. This was the second door that I opened up ignorantly giving the enemy access into my life. The Word of God is clear when He states that His people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, Hosea 4:6. Unfortunately I was going to gain the understanding of exactly what that meant.

This kind of meditation is extremely dangerous as it advises you to open up your chakras, or energy points in your body, which is a wide open door for demons to torture and terrorize you and that is exactly what they did to me. The more that I meditated on opening up these chakra portals, the more demonically oppressed I became.

The devil almost took me out! I suffered this torment for almost 4 years; mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Had it not been for the grace of God and the divine power in the Name of Jesus Christ helping me win the spiritual battle that I was in, I wouldn’t be alive today to tell share my testimony. So, when I tell you how dangerous these practices are and the dangerous demonic doors that they lead to, I am speaking from experience.

Transcendental meditation

This is a form of silent mantra meditation that claims to promote a state of relaxed awareness as well as access to a higher state of consciousness. The word mantra means to make an utterance and or sound believed to have magical or spiritual powers. Any time that you are attempting to reach some form of spiritual knowledge or enlightenment other than the spiritual knowledge led by the Holy Spirit which will point to the Word of God, you are going to find yourself in a very dangerous situation.

A lot of times people will engage in these meditative practices ignorantly not realizing that they are opening up doors to very powerful demons. There is a constant spiritual battle for your soul, the Kingdom of God versus the kingdom of the devil. The enemy is very sneaky and will use these devices to lure you in because you think it is something harmless. How can meditation lead to demonic oppression? The Word of God is explicitly clear; we must meditate on His Word day and night, Psalm 1:2.

The Lord gives us His Word so that we don’t fall victim to demonic attacks, but a lot of us do not take the time to read it, learn it, and apply it. As the Lord was teaching me how to gain my life back out of the devil’s hands, He began to train me in spiritual warfare.

I had to learn about the enemy that I was being tormented by. Like a lot of people, I thought that Satan was just a made-up figment of someone’s imagination. Not so, he is very real and is here to steal, kill, and destroy you in any way that he can, and he will, John 10:10!

Conclusion:

With the quick access that we have to the internet today, it is normalized to involve yourself in occult practices. The thing is it is so easy to get yourself involved in these practices, but extremely hard to get out! I know first-hand what it feels like to deal with severe demonic oppression for almost 4 years and am making it my mission to bring awareness to anyone that I can.

The devil knows that his time is short and is wreaking havoc openly and his primary target is our children! We need to be vigilant about what our children are getting involved in through their devices: iPad, computers, gaming systems, TV shows, etc. In the articles to come, I am going to continue the list of dangerous occult practices that you need to avoid at all costs!
