Are You Trusting God or a Charm?*

 Are You Trusting God or a Charm?

Charms in the occult or New Age are objects people believe carry spiritual power, protection, luck, healing energy, attraction, money, love, or power. They may include crystals, amulets, talismans, bracelets, symbols, oils, candles, herbs, written spells, “protection” necklaces, evil-eye jewelry, pentagrams, charms for love, money charms, or objects prayed over by occult practitioners.

From a biblical standpoint, charms are dangerous because they shift a person’s trust away from God and toward an object, ritual, spirit, symbol, or hidden power.

Who Was the Founder

There is no single founder of charms in the occult.

Charms, amulets, and talismans are ancient practices that developed in many pagan and occult cultures over thousands of years. Britannica explains that charms are connected to magical formulas, amulets, and talismans, and that in ancient Egypt, spoken magic formulas were eventually written on amulets and worn for power or protection.

Amulets are even older than many organized occult systems. Britannica says prehistoric peoples used natural amulets in burials, and some man-made amulets may date back to around 25,000 B.C.

What God’s Word Says About Charms

The Bible directly warns against charms, sorcery, divination, witchcraft, and occult practices.

Isaiah 3:18–20 mentions charms among the objects of pride and spiritual mixture that God would remove:

“In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments… the chains, and the bracelets… the tablets…”
Isaiah 3:18–20 KJV

The word translated as “tablets” has been understood by many as amulets or charms worn for protection or spiritual influence.

Deuteronomy 18:10–12 gives a strong warning:

“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination… or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits…”
Deuteronomy 18:10–11 KJV

God calls these practices an abomination because they open people to counterfeit spiritual power.

Psalm 115:4–8 warns about trusting in objects made by human hands:

“Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands… They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.”
Psalm 115:4–8 KJV

A charm may look innocent, beautiful, or harmless, but when someone believes it carries spiritual protection or power, it becomes an idol and a doorway to deception.

Why People Get Into Charms

Many people turn to charms because they are afraid, wounded, curious, or searching for control. Some wear charms for protection from evil. Others use them for good luck, healing, money, love, beauty, spiritual energy, or emotional peace.

People may also get into charms because:

They want protection without surrendering to God.

They are looking for power without obedience.

They are searching for healing but do not know Jesus as Healer.

They want control over outcomes, relationships, money, or the future.

They are deceived by New Age language such as “energy,” “vibration,” “manifesting,” “spiritual alignment,” or “universal protection.”

They may have inherited occult objects or practices through family traditions.

Many people do not realize they are participating in occult practices. They may say, “It is just jewelry,” “It is only a crystal,” “It helps me feel safe,” or “I do not worship it.” But the spiritual issue is this: What are you trusting in?

If the object gives you comfort, protection, power, guidance, or spiritual confidence apart from God, it has become a substitute for Him.

Why Charms Are Dangerous

Charms are dangerous because they can open spiritual doors. The Bible teaches that there are only two spiritual kingdoms: the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness. If something is not empowered by the Holy Spirit, then it is drawing from another source.

Charms can become:

A doorway to familiar spirits.
Occult objects may invite demonic spirits to attach themselves to the person, home, or family line.

A false source of protection.
Instead of trusting Psalm 91 and the blood of Jesus, the person begins trusting an object.

A form of idolatry.
Anything we depend on spiritually instead of God becomes an idol.

A trap of fear.
Many people become afraid to remove the charm because they believe something bad will happen. That fear is bondage.

A link to witchcraft.
Some charms are prayed over, charged, dedicated, or used in rituals. This connects the object to spiritual covenants.

A counterfeit comfort.
It may feel peaceful at first, but the enemy often uses false peace to gain access.

What Should Christians Do?

Christians should renounce charms, repent for trusting in any object or occult source, and remove them from their homes, bodies, cars, purses, or property.

Acts 19:19 shows that when people came to Christ, they destroyed their occult materials:

“Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men…”
Acts 19:19 KJV

They did not keep them as souvenirs. They separated from them completely.

Prayer of Renunciation

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I repent for trusting in charms, amulets, crystals, symbols, objects, rituals, or any occult power for protection, healing, luck, money, love, guidance, or peace. I renounce every charm, spell, talisman, New Age object, occult covenant, and familiar spirit connected to these things. I break every agreement I made knowingly or unknowingly with the kingdom of darkness. I declare that Jesus Christ alone is my protection, healer, provider, peace, and deliverer. I command every spirit attached to charms, witchcraft, fear, superstition, divination, and idolatry to leave me now in the name of Jesus Christ. I cover myself, my home, and my family with the blood of Jesus. Holy Spirit, cleanse me and fill every place where the enemy has access. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Strong Closing Thought

Charms promise protection, but they produce bondage. They promise power, but they open doors to darkness. They promise peace, but only Jesus Christ gives true peace.

God’s people are not called to wear spiritual substitutes. We are called to trust the Lord completely.

“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?”
Psalm 27:1 KJV

35-Second Video Script: Charms in the Occult

Charms may look harmless, but many are used in occult and New Age practices for protection, luck, love, money, healing, or power.

God’s Word warns us not to trust in divination, witchcraft, charms, or spiritual objects.

Deuteronomy 18 says these practices are an abomination to the Lord.

The danger is this: when you trust a charm for protection or power, you are putting faith in an object instead of Jesus Christ.

That can open spiritual doors to fear, bondage, familiar spirits, and deception.

You do not need a charm.

You need Jesus Christ.

Repent, renounce it, remove it, and trust God alone.


45-Second Video Script: Charms in the Occult

Many people wear charms, amulets, crystals, evil-eye jewelry, or talismans, thinking they bring protection, luck, healing, love, money, or spiritual power.


But God’s Word warns us not to seek power through occult objects, witchcraft, divination, or charms.


Ezekiel 13:18, 20 says  God directly opposes magic charms, stating, "Woe to the women who sew magic charms on all their wrists.


A charm may look innocent, but if you trust it spiritually, it becomes an idol and a doorway.


It can open doors to fear, superstition, familiar spirits, deception, and spiritual bondage.


Jesus Christ is your protector.
Psalm 91 says God is our refuge and fortress.
Remove the charm, repent, renounce the occult connection, and put your trust fully in Jesus Christ.
