Why Christians Are Attacked by Occult Agents

An occult agent is a human being or spirit that serves as an instrument or representative of demonic powers to carry out evil spiritual assignments, influence, or control. In biblical and deliverance ministry terms, an occult agent is someone (knowingly or unknowingly) used by Satan’s kingdom to attack, deceive, monitor, manipulate, or curse others through occult means.

Who or What an Occult Agent Can Be

• Human occult agent:
  A person who has joined or been initiated into an occult group, knowingly serving the kingdom of darkness.
  Examples include:

  • Witches, warlocks, sorcerers, shamans

  • Occult healers, psychics, mediums

  • Satanists, astrologers, or “energy workers” (Reiki, crystals, etc.)

  • False prophets or pastors who operate under demonic power

  • Individuals sent to infiltrate Christian churches or families through charm, seduction, or monitoring

• Spiritual occult agent:
  Demonic spirits assigned as messengers, watchers, or enforcers to carry out curses, delay, confusion, or sickness (Ephesians 6:12).

• What Occult Agents Do

  Occult agents often:

• Monitor and report believers’ lives through familiar spirits (spiritual surveillance)

• Cause confusion, division, and strife in ministries or families

• Project sickness, depression, or financial hardship

• Infiltrate churches pretending to be Christians

• Transfer demonic energy through touch, gifts, food, sex, or objects

• Release spells, enchantments, or astral projections

• Biblical Examples

• Simon the Sorcerer (Acts 8:9–24) – Used witchcraft to gain power and control people’s attention.

• Elymas the Sorcerer (Acts 13:6–12) – Tried to turn people away from faith in Christ.

• Jezebel (2 Kings 9:22; Revelation 2:20) – A witch-queen who operated in manipulation, seduction, and false prophecy.

• How to Overcome Occult Agents

  • Live a holy and consecrated life (Ephesians 6:11–18).

  • Repent of any personal involvement in occult activities.

  • Break covenants, soul ties, and curses through deliverance prayers.

  • Anoint your home and yourself with oil as a symbol of protection.

  • Declare spiritual warfare scriptures (Psalm 91, Isaiah 54:17, Luke 10:19).

  • Ask the Holy Spirit for discernment to identify occult infiltration.

💥 Why Christians Are Attacked by Occult Agents

When someone belongs to Jesus Christ, they are a threat to Satan’s kingdom. The devil and his human or spiritual agents target believers to discourage, weaken, or silence them. Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10).

Common reasons Christians become targets include:

1. Spiritual light: Darkness resists light (John 1:5). Your prayers, worship, and obedience disturb demonic operations in your home or city.

2. Calling or destiny: Those anointed for ministry, intercession, or deliverance are often singled out for warfare.

3. Open doors: Unforgiveness, fear, habitual sin, or occult objects can invite attacks.

4. Generational covenants: Family bloodlines sometimes contain unbroken curses or witchcraft pacts that need to be renounced.

5. Proximity or confrontation: Helping someone under attack, or exposing occult practices, can draw counterattacks from demonic forces.

Spiritual Protection and Deliverance Steps

1. Recognize that the thought is not your own.
   Say aloud:

   “That’s not my thought — I reject it in Jesus’ name!”

2. Use Scripture immediately (e.g., Psalm 118:17 – “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord”).

3. Break every curse and send it back to the sender:

   “Every suicidal projection or word curse released against my mind, I return it to the sender, covered in the Blood of Jesus Christ!”

4. Pray warfare prayers daily.
   Use the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:11–18).
   Speak life over yourself.

5. Anoint your head and home with oil and pray for the cleansing of your environment.

6. Seek prayer support.
   Never battle suicidal thoughts alone. A mature deliverance minister, pastor, or prayer group can intercede and break the attack’s power.

🛡 How a Christian Can Protect Themselves

1. Stay in right standing with God.

   • Confess sin quickly and keep your heart pure (1 John 1:9). Forgive thoughs who have hurt you. 

   • Walk in obedience and humility.

2. Use the armor of God daily (Ephesians 6:10-18).

   • Belt of truth – live honestly and biblically.

   • Breastplate of righteousness – reject condemnation.

   • Shield of faith – extinguish fiery darts (lies, fear, projections).

   • Helmet of salvation – guard your mind with the Word.

   • Sword of the Spirit – declare Scripture out loud.

3. Cover yourself with the Blood of Jesus.
   Pray: “Lord, I cover my mind, body, and home with the Blood of Jesus Christ.”

4. Anoint and cleanse your environment.
   Dedicate your house to God; remove any occult, pagan, or cursed items (Deut. 7:25-26).
   Anoint doorways with oil and declare Psalm 91.

5. Pray daily warfare prayers.
   Example: “Every demonic monitoring spirit or occult attack sent against me, be bound and cast out in Jesus’ name. I decree divine protection over my family and purpose.”

6. Fill your mind with Scripture and worship.
   The presence of God repels darkness. Keep praise music and prayer active in your home.

7. Stay connected to other believers.
   Isolation gives the enemy room to whisper lies. Fellowship brings covering and strength.

8. Use discernment.
   Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any hidden agents or manipulations around you (1 Cor. 12:10).

Example Warfare Prayer:

“Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I renounce every connection, contact, or assignment of occult agents against my life.
I cancel every demonic surveillance, manipulation, and projection sent against me.
By the blood of Jesus, I break every curse, charm, or spell sent to harm me.
I release the fire of God to destroy every monitoring spirit and occult network.
I decree divine protection over my family, ministry, and destiny, in Jesus’ name. Amen!”

Remember: you’re not powerless.

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” — Luke 10:19

When you stand in the authority of Jesus, keep your life surrendered to Him, and apply His Word daily, no occult agent can prevail. God’s light always exposes and overcomes darkness.

Would you like me to create a one-page “Spiritual Protection Checklist” you can share with your ministry followers (including daily scriptures and prayer declarations)?

A Christian walking in holiness can be harrassed but they know the weapons to fight it off and cover themselves.

The enemy throws fiery darts of lies at all Christians. We have to discern who is talking and not accept it. If more intense, then follow the directions above. Hebrews 5:13-14.

That is how the enemy works, he lies about our past, he accuses since he is the father of accusation. He gets you to believe you are not forgiven, or reminds you of past failures, etc. We stand on God's word of truth but we must know God's word to fight back. Jesus did this in the wilderness when he was being tempted and the enemy was lying to him and accusing.

 Can a Christian have a demon?

A Christian can have a demon—but a demon cannot have a Christian. Someone once told me they disagreed that Christians could have demons. I asked them, “Can a Christian open the door to a demon?” They said yes. So I replied, “Then a Christian can have a demon.”

Demons are like flies or mosquitoes. If you open a window, they come in. You can post a sign that says, “Mosquitoes not welcome,” but they don’t read signs—they see an opening. Likewise, demonic spirits look for entry points. Just because a mosquito is in your house doesn’t mean it owns the house; the same applies to demons.

There are three main categories of open doors:

1. Inheritance: Some demons are passed down through family bloodlines or can enter the womb if a child is rejected by their parents, often manifesting as a spirit of rejection.

2. Intrusion: These occur through traumatic experiences—abuse, broken families, or emotional wounds—especially in childhood.

3. Involvement: Habitual, unrepentant sin or engagement with the occult. This can include witchcraft, abortion, drugs, pornography, or possession of occult objects. Such practices invite demonic spirits to influence or control specific areas of a person’s life, though not necessarily the entire person.

1. Witchcraft and New Age

When we step into witchcraft or the occult, we’re stepping onto the enemy’s territory. When you step into Satan’s territory through sin or witchcraft, the devil will no longer just “bark” (tempt)—he will attack and torment.

If demons can’t stop someone from coming to Jesus, their next goal is to prevent them from growing in Him. People with unclean spirits often feel intense restlessness or resistance when pursuing God.

Think of Lazarus—he was resurrected but still bound in grave clothes. That’s what it’s like for someone who loves Jesus but is spiritually restricted. Or like Israel in Egypt: alive, chosen, but oppressed.

2. Restlessness around Spiritual Things

Sometimes, people experience a persistent struggle with sleep, particularly when trying to read Scripture or pray. Now, not every instance of tiredness is demonic—our bodies naturally need rest—but if you notice perpetual resistance to the things of the Spirit, even when your heart genuinely desires them, it may point to a spiritual issue rather than a physical one.

3. Hostility Toward Deliverance Ministry

One of the clear signs of demonic influence is hostility toward deliverance. In Scripture, we see that when Jesus entered the synagogue, a devout Jewish man suddenly became violent. It wasn’t the man himself—it was an unclean spirit reacting to the presence of Jesus.

Today, the same thing happens. During deliverance services, people sometimes feel nauseous, dizzy, or overwhelmed by a sudden urge to leave. Others may even hear voices telling them to run. When prayer begins, the person can become physically resistant or agitated. This reaction is not from the person’s will but from the spirit inside that fears exposure and expulsion. The closer the light gets, the more darkness resists.

4. Intrusive Thoughts or Voices

Another sign is the presence of intrusive thoughts or hearing voices within the mind. The enemy loves to plant thoughts that imitate our own internal voice. Scripture says that Satan placed thoughts into Judas’ heart before entering him, and Peter rebuked Ananias for allowing Satan to fill his heart with deceit.

Demons often manipulate a person’s thoughts from the inside. The difference between the flesh and a demon is this: the flesh doesn’t speak—demons do. A person may hear a distinct, intrusive voice in the mind that blasphemes, promotes self-harm, or encourages suicide. Temptation comes from the outside; torment speaks from within.

5. Surges of Violence or Self-Destructive Behavior

Sudden bursts of uncontrollable anger, violence, or self-harm can also reveal demonic activity. We see this with King Saul—during a family meal, he would suddenly throw a spear at his own son. The Bible says a distressing spirit came upon him.

I’ve ministered to people who, during violent episodes, acted in ways completely out of character—throwing objects, attacking teachers, or harming themselves—and afterward, they said, “I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t in control.” While we still hold people accountable for their choices, we must also recognize when something spiritual is taking the driver’s seat. Deliverance restores self-control—the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

6. Attacks During Sleep

The Bible says in Matthew 13: “While men slept, the enemy came and sowed tares.” The enemy loves to attack in the night, when our defenses are down. People often experience terrifying dreams—falling, being shot, chased, or attacked by animals. Others suffer recurring sexual dreams involving unseen partners, sometimes called incubus or succubus spirits.

Such dreams can lead to fatigue, marital problems, and even infertility. In deliverance sessions, demons have been known to claim a false spiritual marriage, calling themselves the “husband” or “wife” of the afflicted person. Once those spirits are expelled, peace, freedom, and physical restoration follow.

7. Heaviness, Fear, and Depression

The Bible calls it “a spirit of heaviness.” This isn’t ordinary sadness—it’s a spiritual weight that medicine and therapy can’t lift. Emotional exhaustion can often be treated by rest or counseling, but when heaviness is a spirit, only the Holy Spirit can remove it.

The same is true for fear. Scripture says, “God has not given us a spirit of fear.” This kind of fear is paralyzing and oppressive—it grips a person so tightly they can’t leave their house or function normally, even when everything seems fine externally. Deliverance replaces that spirit of fear with the peace of Christ.

8. Intense Desire for Defiled Things

Demons feed on defilement. Their appetite is for what is impure—pornography, profanity, violence, and perversion. The flesh desires sin, yes, but the difference is that the flesh can be disciplined; a demon cannot.

Jesus said to cut off the hand or pluck out the eye that causes sin. That means remove the trigger. But if the triggers are gone and the desire still burns uncontrollably, it’s not flesh—it’s a spirit. Flesh must be crucified; demons must be cast out.

9. Chronic Illnesses

The Bible reveals that evil spirits can sometimes be the cause behind physical sickness. Acts 10:38 says that Jesus “went about healing all who were oppressed by the devil.” Not every sickness has a demonic root, but many do.

I once ministered to a man with leukemia who had been given only a few years to live. He spent much of his savings on medical treatments and eventually came to a deliverance service—not for healing, but because he believed a demon was tormenting him. As we prayed, he began to vomit—thick saliva, blood, and other things left his body. Afterward, he felt peace and freedom.

When he returned to the doctor for his next round of treatment, tests showed no trace of leukemia. Six months later, the results remained clear. Today—seven years later—he’s still completely healed.

I’ve seen similar results in people with asthma, arthritis, tuberculosis, sleep apnea, and other chronic conditions. When the demon is removed, the sickness often leaves with it.

10. Paranormal Activity

Another clear indicator of demonic presence is unexplained supernatural activity—objects moving on their own, crosses falling from walls, strange voices, or shadowy figures appearing in your home.

When such disturbances occur repeatedly in one location, it may be a demon attached to that place. But if the same phenomena follow a person wherever they go, the problem isn’t the house—it’s the spirit influencing that individual.

These manifestations are warnings that something spiritual needs to be confronted.

Eight Common Open Doors to Demonic Influence

There are certain objects, habits, and symbols that invite demonic presence into our lives and homes. Many people unknowingly keep these things, not realizing they serve as open doors to oppression.

1. Objects Tied to Native or Pagan Practices – Items such as pottery, jewelry, or dream catchers connected to spiritual traditions outside of Christ can attract demonic spirits. Dream catchers, for example, are not harmless decorations—they are spiritual traps that invite demonic influence.

2. New Age Materials and Symbols – Books, tarot cards, crystals, or any item associated with channeling, astrology, or energy healing open doors to demonic power.

3. Witchcraft Objects – Items like Ouija boards, spell books, and occult paraphernalia are direct invitations for demonic activity.

4. Good Luck Charms and Crystals – Anything that promises protection, luck, or power outside of the Holy Spirit operates from an unholy source. There are only two kinds of power: God’s power and demonic power.

5. Religious Idols or Statues – Statues or images from false religions may seem harmless, but Scripture shows that behind every idol there is a spirit that promotes deception.

6. Games that Glorify Darkness – Certain video and tabletop games rooted in sorcery and demonic themes (like Dungeons & Dragons or Diablo) normalize witchcraft. You don’t fight demons with spells—you overcome them in real life through the name of Jesus.

7. Movies and Music that Glorify Sin – Horror films, violent entertainment, and pornography are not just media—they’re gateways. The word entertainment begins with enter for a reason. Spirits can enter through what we watch and listen to.

8. Objects or Gifts from Toxic Relationships – This one surprises many people. Letters, jewelry, or gifts from former partners—especially from ungodly or controlling relationships—can maintain unhealthy soul ties. These ties hold part of your heart in the past and hinder your future. When a relationship ends, cut off the spiritual connection by removing those objects.

Remember, soul ties are real and biblical. Scripture says Jonathan’s soul was knit to David’s, and that a husband and wife become one flesh. But ties with people who no longer walk in your destiny must be broken to restore spiritual freedom.

---

How to Get Free

If you recognize any of these ten signs in your life—or if you have objects or connections that could be open doors to demonic influence—God wants you free. He never intended His children to live under oppression.

Here are the five biblical steps to freedom:

1. Recognize – Acknowledge that there is a problem. Denial gives demons permission to stay.

2. Repent – Turn away from sin and place your full trust in Jesus Christ. Repent not only for your own sins but also for the sins of your ancestors who may have opened the door through occult practices or idol worship.

3. Renounce – Verbally cut ties with all demonic connections. Renounce every form of witchcraft, soul tie, vow, or curse that has linked you to darkness.

4. Remove – Remove by casting it out - and get rid of every object associated with sin, the occult, or unhealthy relationships. Burn, destroy, or dispose of them completely.

5. Release and Rebuke – Forgive those who have wronged you. Unforgiveness is one of Satan’s strongest weapons. Then, in the name of Jesus, rebuke the demon and command it to leave your life.

Deliverance doesn’t require a stage, a crowd, or a special event. You can experience freedom right now—right where you are. Stretch out your hands and invite the Holy Spirit to fill every area of your life. Jesus is willing and able to deliver you today.

 The Courts of Heaven Deception: Why This Teaching Contradicts the Finished Work of the Cross

⚖️ Why the “Courts of Heaven” Teaching Is a Deception

Why would a holy God ever allow Satan, the most evil abomination in all of creation—whom God cast out of Heaven—to come back into His holy presence, to accuse believers after Jesus Christ already paid the full price for our sins on the Cross?

Heaven is a pure, sinless place. That is why Satan was permanently cast out. He has no right to visit the Throne of Grace. Our Lord Jesus, who came to earth and shed His blood for all humanity, forever closed that door of accusation.

🔥 The Finished Work of the Cross

“For there are three that bear witness in Heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are One.”
— 1 John 5:7

“And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the Blood; and these three agree as One.”
— 1 John 5:8

When Jesus cried out, “It is finished!” (John 19:30), every accusation Satan ever brought against the people of God was nailed to the Cross forever.

“Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
‘Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come,
for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down!’”
— Revelation 12:10

At the Cross, Jesus permanently and absolutely stopped Satan’s accusations in Heaven. He disarmed and defeated all principalities and powers. (Colossians 2:15)

Yes, believers still face accusations here on earth through demonic voices, guilt, and spiritual warfare, but never again before the Throne of God.

👑 There Are No “Courts” in Heaven

Heaven is not a courtroom. God’s Throne is not a legal bench. It is the Throne of Grace and Mercy (Hebrews 4:16). God invites us to come boldly, not fearfully, before His throne to receive mercy and help in time of need—not to defend ourselves in a courtroom drama with Satan present!

The “Courts of Heaven” doctrine dangerously suggests that believers must appear before a spiritual court where Satan prosecutes and Jesus defends us. This is unbiblical and insults the finished work of Christ.

🕯️ The Real Danger Behind This Teaching

Those who practice the “Courts of Heaven” rituals may unknowingly open doors to lying spirits posing as Jesus or angels of light (2 Corinthians 11:14).

This false teaching often leads to spiritual bondage, deception, and witchcraft, as demonic spirits mimic the voice of God to trap the soul in false legalism.

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God.”
— 1 John 4:1-3

Many sincere believers have been spiritually oppressed after engaging in these “heavenly court” sessions. What they hear may seem holy or judicial—but it is counterfeit revelation designed to replace repentance and the Cross with legal rituals.

🙌 Jesus Alone Is Our Mediator and Judge

“Therefore He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”
— Hebrews 7:25

“Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.”
— Hebrews 9:12

Jesus doesn’t need to “plead our case” before God in a courtroom setting—He already won the case!
He is both our High Priest and Judge of all the earth (Genesis 18:25, Psalm 9:8).

The only “court” left will be the Great White Throne Judgment, where the lost are judged, not the redeemed (Revelation 20:11–15).

⚠️ Come Out From Among Them

The Apostle Paul warned:

“What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God…
Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord.”
— 2 Corinthians 6:16–17

Any teaching that mixes truth with occult principles or legalistic rituals must be rejected. The “Courts of Heaven” movement is a mixture of New Age legalism, Gnosticism, and witchcraft, dressed in Christian language.

God’s desire has always been to dwell with His people—first in the Garden, then in the tabernacle, and soon, in His Kingdom established on earth. He doesn’t invite us into a courtroom but into relationship through the blood of His Son.

---

✝️ Final Truth

When Jesus said, “It is finished,” the case was closed.
No believer ever needs to “enter the courts of heaven” to seek a verdict.
You already have been declared righteous by faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).

Stand firm in the freedom of the Cross, not in the deception of spiritual legalism.
Reject counterfeit revelations and cling to the Word of God alone.

Understanding Spiritual Warfare: How Satan Attacks & How to Overcome

 

Understanding the Enemy: How Satan Attacks and How to Overcome Through Spiritual Warfare

Before believers can walk in total victory and transformation, they must understand their enemy. Jesus warned in John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.” Satan’s goal is to destroy every area of a Christian’s life—finances, health, family, purpose, and peace—so that God’s people never manifest the fullness of who they are in Christ.

This is why discernment of the enemy’s strategy is essential. You cannot fight what you do not understand. Just as an army studies the tactics of its opponent, so must the Body of Christ understand the kingdom of darkness and how it operates in the unseen realms.

The Three Realms of Existence

To understand how Satan attacks, we must first understand the three realms of existence revealed in Scripture:

1. The Third Heaven – This is the throne of God, the place of divine authority and eternal light. It is where Jesus Christ reigns as King of kings. (2 Corinthians 12:2-4)

2. The Second Heaven – This is the realm of principalities and powers, the spiritual dimension where Satan and his fallen angels operate. It is the unseen battlefield between heaven and earth. (Ephesians 6:12)

3. The First Heaven – This is the natural realm where mankind dwells—the earth. This is the physical stage where spiritual forces of good and evil contend for human souls.

When Adam and Eve sinned, they surrendered the dominion God gave them over the earth. Through disobedience, they opened the door for the second heaven—Satan’s realm—to influence and control the first heaven. From that moment, the enemy gained access to humanity through sin, thoughts, and emotions. The key is disobedience, and the enemy has a legal right to you.

---

Satan’s Fall from Heaven

Satan was once a beautiful archangel named Lucifer, created with splendor and power (Ezekiel 28:12–17). Pride led him to rebel against God’s authority. He desired to exalt himself above the Most High (Isaiah 14:12–15). Because of his rebellion, he and one-third of the angels were cast down to the earth.

This fallen being did not lose his ambition—he redirected it. Since he could not overthrow God in heaven, he now seeks to oppose God’s image in man on earth. Humanity became his target because man carries the likeness and authority of God. Through deception, Satan continues his war, attempting to draw people into sin and separation from God.

---

Understanding Satan’s Nature and Strategy

Satan’s character has never changed. He is still the accuser, deceiver, and destroyer. In Revelation 12:10, he is called the “accuser of the brethren.” His primary weapon is deception—planting thoughts and lies to distort truth and lead believers into disobedience.

Just as he deceived Eve in the Garden, he continues to whisper, “Did God really say?” (Genesis 3:1). His purpose is to make you doubt God’s Word, question your identity, and act on emotions instead of faith.

Once you agree with his lies, you give him legal access. This opens doors for oppression—sickness, confusion, anxiety, poverty, and fear. He builds strongholds in the mind through wrong belief systems, lies, and unhealed wounds.

The enemy attacks the spirit, soul, and body:

• In the spirit, he tries to separate you from intimacy with God.

• In the soul (mind, will, emotions), he injects fear (fiery darts), rejection, shame, and self-accusation, and more.

• In the body, he manifests his work through disease, infirmity, and exhaustion.

Remember—every attack begins with a thought. If the enemy can control your thoughts, he can control your emotions, and then your actions. That is why Scripture commands: “Take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:5)

---

How Satan Gains Access

1. Through Sin and Disobedience – When we choose to act against God’s Word, we step out from under His protection. Like David, who numbered Israel against God’s will (1 Chronicles 21:1), disobedience opens the door for demonic influence and consequence.

2. Through Unforgiveness and Bitterness – Ephesians 4:26-27 warns, “Do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil a foothold.” Unforgiveness invites tormenting spirits.

3. Through Fear and Anxiety – Fear is not from God (2 Timothy 1:7). When we agree with fear, we align with Satan’s nature. Fear opens the door for torment and disease.

4. Through Rebellion and Pride – Like Saul, who sought the approval of men over obedience to God, rebellion causes the Spirit of the Lord to withdraw. It allows an evil spirit to enter (1 Samuel 16:14).

5. Through Occult Practices and False Doctrine – Satan’s kingdom thrives on deception. False gospels, New Age practices, witchcraft, and occultism open spiritual gateways for demonic power to infiltrate lives and even churches.

---

Recognizing the Invisible Battle

Ephesians 6:12 tells us, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places.”

This means your real battle isn’t with people—it’s with invisible entities that influence thoughts, emotions, and actions. Every negative emotion, every accusation, every lie that contradicts God’s Word is a spiritual voice from the kingdom of darkness.

When you hear thoughts like “I’m worthless,” “God doesn’t love me,” or “I’ll never change,” those are not your thoughts. They are fiery darts from the enemy designed to separate you from God’s truth. The moment you agree with them, they become strongholds.

But God has given believers the authority to overcome. Jesus said in Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy.”

---

How to Overcome the Enemy

1. Recognize the Source of the Attack – Ask, “Where is this thought coming from?” If it contradicts God’s Word, cast it down immediately.

2. Repent and Close the Door – Confess any sin that opened the door to the enemy. Repentance shuts off the devil’s access.

3. Renew Your Mind with Truth – Fill your mind with the Word of God. When you replace lies with Scripture, you uproot the enemy’s influence. (Romans 12:2)

4. Use Your Authority in Christ – Speak the Word of God out loud. Command the enemy to flee in Jesus’ name.

5. Walk in Obedience and Faith – Satan cannot touch what is covered by the blood of Jesus and walking in obedience.

6. Stay Filled with the Holy Spirit – A clean but empty heart invites reentry of evil spirits (Luke 11:24–26). Fill your life with worship, prayer, and the Word.

 Why Christians Must Not Celebrate Halloween or Harvest Night

Introduction: The Lie of “Harmless Fun”

Ex witch - Riaan Swiegelaar was a practicing witch, psychic, and Satanist, living his life deeply embedded in the occult. He Quoted what Anton Levey said...

The founder of the Church of Satan, Anton Lavey, said: “I am glad that Christian parents let their children worship the devil at least one night out of the year. Welcome to Halloween.”

Every October, Christians around the world face the same question: “Is Halloween really that bad?” Some say, “It’s just candy and costumes — my child is dressing as a princess, not a demon.” But before you shrug it off as harmless, consider this: Halloween is not a game. It has deep occult roots and spiritual consequences for those who participate.

The Bible warns,

“Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” — Ephesians 5:11

What many believers call “fun” is actually fellowship with the kingdom of darkness.

My Story

I used to work with SRA's - Satanically ritually abused people, generational satanists. They told me a lot of their secrets in how to protect yourself from witchcraft. Some, the Lord already taught me, so they confirmed. 

They told me that Halloween is their highest holiday on their satanic calendar. On Halloween night, that is when blood sacrifices take place, either animal or human. A lot of initials take place for them to go up the ranks.

1. The Dark Roots of Halloween

Halloween began in ancient Celtic paganism — Samhain — a night when the dead were believed to walk among the living. Rituals, animal, and even human sacrifices were made to appease demonic entities.

Today, it remains the most important day on the satanic calendar. Former satanists confirm that this night is used for rituals, curses, and blood sacrifices worldwide.

As ex-Satanist John Ramirez testified:

“I spent 25 years in Satanism. I had a demonic wedding on Halloween. I used to prepare for weeks to curse regions, destroy lives, and dedicate souls to the devil on that night. Why would Christians want to celebrate the devil’s high holiday?”

That chilling statement should stop every believer in their tracks.

Halloween was not celebrated in the United States until the mid-1800’s. The Irish flooded New York in 1845-46 fleeing the Potato Famine. They brought with them old Druid Holidays called Samhain,   (Sowen), a Celtic holiday which marks the end of summer. It was important to celebrate the living and the dead that came together, the spirits of the underworld. The Druids were the pagan priests of the Celts. They were idolaters, occult practitioners, and witches. Their holiday was known as the Lord of Death.

This pagan god was shown as a ghostly, skeleton holding a sickle in his hand. He later came to be known as “The Grim Reaper.”

Deuteronomy 12:31 You must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because in

worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates. They even burn

their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifice to their gods.

2. The Spiritual Atmosphere of Death - Hidden Agenda

Halloween glorifies everything Christ came to defeat — death, fear, darkness, and witchcraft.
The Lord said in John 10:10,

“The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy.” John 10:10

When you decorate your home with tombstones, skeletons, and ghosts, you are aligning with a spirit of death. You may think it’s pretend, but in the spiritual realm, symbols are invitations.

As another former occult practitioner explained:

“If even one home in a neighborhood celebrates Halloween, that entire area becomes a hotspot for demonic activity that night.” 

That means your street, your neighborhood, and your children are exposed to spiritual portals opened through this dark celebration. It is a hot spot for demonic activity, regardless of whether you are a Christian or a non-Christian; your neighborhood is an open door.

Pray over your neighborhood but make sure there is no hidden sin for the enemy. Stand strong in your authority you declare God's word since we are dealing with a territory to close those spiritual portals. We will pray tonight together over our neighborhoods.

The Celtics worshipped the Lord of Death calling wicked souls that, within the past twelve months, had been condemned to inhabit the bodies of animals in punishment for their evil deeds. This demon god then allowed them to return to their former homes to visit the living. 

To appease the Lord of Death and keep the spirits from harming the people, the Druid priests led the people in worship ceremonies in which horses, cats, black sheep, oxen, human beings, and other offerings were rounded up, stuffed into wicker cages, and then burned to death.

Who is celebrating today? Wiccans, Satanists, Witches, Worlocks, soothsayers, sorsorers those deep into the new age, people in high positions in government or corporations. This is when they pray and release curses over individuals, churches, governments, government leaders, presidents, - praying and cursing with sickness and death. 

Did you know there is a network of satanic churches and 12,000 or more that agree to do a certain curse on an individual, group, or church on Halloween? That is why it is important for Christians and their children not to participate with Halloween to not open the door for demonic attacks. Symptoms of open doors and manifestations - Children out of control, strife between spouses, or unexplained sicknesses.

Did you know there was a network of witches praying the death on Charlie Kirk? Look what happened!

If you are standing in righteousness with God in covenant with no open doors, then no curse will touch you according to Proverbs 26:2. One witch witness curses on an individual through a network and she never died. It perplexed this witch to seek God and he got saved. 

That means, no bitterness, willing sin, soul ties, 

Druid ceremonies mainly centered on sacrifice by shooting to death by arrows, or by impaling, and the burning of human and animal victims. “They deemed it indeed a duty to cover their altars with the blood of captives and to consult their deities through human entrails.” The consecrate a human being to death, drive a dagger into his belly, above the abdomen, and draw conclusions about events to come from the squirming of the victim and the spurting of his blood. They believed the immortal gods can only be appeased, and man’s life redeemed, by offering up human sacrifice. 

The Druid priests and Celtic people would gather together on these pagan worship days either in a grove of trees, or in a stone circle. There are many stone circles in the British Isles and in Western Europe. Stonehength most famous. 

The pagan worship rituals of the Druids originated, it turns out that they go all the way back to the time of Nimrod.  Many of Halloween’s customs are derived from the ancient Baal Festivals from the taking of omens from the struggles of victims in the fires of druidic sacrifices. The worship of Bel (Moloch) and Astarte was very early introduced into Britain along with the Druids, the priests of the groves.

3. Trick or treat

Trick or treat originated not with the Irish Celts, but with a ninth-century European custom called Souling. 

The pagan belief that spirits rise from the grave and roam the earth on the evening before November 1st led to all kinds of superstitious behavior. The “treat” part of this holiday came from attempts to “buy off” evil spirits by offering gifts. 

It was believed that one way to “exorcise” spirits was to present them with treats. Because the souls of the dead were thought to return to their original homes and visit relatives, people would set out food as a treat. 

These included dainties, sweets, and bread cakes, which came to be called “soul cakes.” If satisfied, the spirits would leave in peace. If not, they would cast spells and cause absolute havoc to the inhabitants of the home.

On November 2, All Souls Day, or sometimes called Day of the Dead, which is an early Roman Catholic holiday, where poor Roman Catholics would walk from village to village begging for “soul cakes,” made out of square pieces of bread with currants. It was believed that the dead remained in a place called Limbo or Purgatory for a time after death, and that prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a soul’s passage to heaven. 

The pagan roots that eventually grew into the Catholic religion as doctrine —something that is not biblical at all!

Halloween parties at school, work, and homes are common. But unfortunately, at the same time, much of the focus of Halloween for many is still centered on horror, mutilation, death, devils, ghosts, witches, evil, and the occult. Present-day adults who practice witchcraft still lay claim to Halloween as their memorable holiday, as the day to worship their pagan gods and goddesses and Satan with demonic rituals.

 

Tony Agpaoa: The Filipino Psychic Surgeon and His Spiritual Practices

Exploring the Life, Beliefs, and Cultural Roots of Tony Agpaoa's Psychic Surgery

Introduction of Tony Agpaoa, Phychic Surgeon

Tony Agpaoa, a Filipino spiritual healer, gained international attention in the 1960s for his practice of psychic surgery. Claiming to perform operations with his bare hands without anesthesia, Agpaoa attracted thousands of patients seeking alternative healing methods. However, his practices have been met with skepticism and criticism, particularly from a biblical perspective.

---

Who Was Tony Agpaoa?

Born in 1939, Tony Agpaoa was a Filipino spiritualist healer who claimed to perform surgery using only his hands, without the use of instruments or anesthesia. He would pass his hands over the area to be operated on, and an incision would appear. Using his fingers or scissors, he would remove tissue and then move his hand over the incision, which seemed to close instantaneously without scarring, Encyclopedia.com.

Agpaoa's center in Baguio attracted thousands of people annually. However, magicians and skeptics were convinced his feats were the result of conjuring tricks. In 1968, Agpaoa was arrested and charged with fraud in the United States for pretending to mend a bone in a patient's neck. Instead of facing the charges, he fled back to the Philippines Wikipedia.

The Beliefs Behind Psychic Surgery

Psychic surgery is a form of spiritual healing that originated in the Philippines and Brazil. Practitioners claim to remove diseased tissue from a patient's body using only their hands, without making any incisions. The procedure is often accompanied by the belief that the healer is channeling spiritual energy or entities to perform the surgery Wikipedia.

Agpaoa's practice was rooted in spiritualism and occult beliefs. He was associated with the Union Espiritista Christiana de Filipinas, a Christian Spiritist organization. This organization blends elements of Christianity with spiritualism, believing in communication with spirits and the healing power of spiritual entities Wikipedia.

---

Cultural Origins of Psychic Surgery

The practice of psychic surgery has its roots in Filipino folk healing traditions. It gained prominence in the mid-20th century, particularly in the northern regions of the Philippines. The practice was influenced by indigenous beliefs in spirits and the supernatural, as well as by the Catholic faith introduced during Spanish colonization Wikipedia.

Agpaoa's claim to be from Pangasinan, a province known for its miracle shrine of Manaoag, suggests that his practices were influenced by the region's rich history of folk mysticism and spiritual healing traditions Christianity Today.

---

Biblical Perspective on Psychic Surgery

From a biblical standpoint, practices like psychic surgery are considered incompatible with Christian teachings. The Bible warns against engaging in occult practices, as they are seen as avenues for demonic influence and deception. For instance, Deuteronomy 18:10-12 condemns practices such as divination, sorcery, and necromancy, labeling them as abominations.

Engaging in practices like psychic surgery can lead individuals away from the teachings of Christ and open doors to spiritual deception. Christians are called to discern and reject practices that do not align with biblical teachings, as stated in 1 John 4:1, which advises believers to test the spirits to see whether they are from God.

---

Conclusion

Tony Agpaoa's practice of psychic surgery represents a fusion of Filipino folk healing traditions and spiritualist beliefs. While his methods attracted many seeking alternative healing, they are rooted in spiritual practices that conflict with biblical teachings. Christians are encouraged to seek healing and spiritual guidance through faith in Jesus Christ and adherence to biblical principles, rather than through practices that deviate from the teachings of Scripture.
