Standing Strong in Christ: How Christians Can Resist Astral Projection and Overcome Spiritual Attacks
In an age where spiritual boundaries are often crossed through occult practices like astral projection,
Christians must understand both their vulnerability and authority. Astral projection — the practice of willfully separating the spirit from the body to traverse the spiritual realm — is a form of witchcraft condemned in Scripture. While some may attempt to project their spirits to invade the spiritual space of others, God's Word provides clear direction on how to remain protected.
No Curse Without a Cause
Proverbs 26:2 says, “Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause shall not alight.”
This means that if there is no legal ground — no open door through sin or generational iniquity — curses, demonic assignments, or spiritual intrusions cannot take root in a believer's life.
Spiritual attacks, including those attempted through astral projection, often seek entry through:
-
Unrepented personal sin
Unforgiveness towards others or self
Fear
-
Generational curses
-
Involvement in occult practices, even unknowingly
When there is a spiritual “cause,” the enemy has a legal right to harass, deceive, or oppress. That’s why it is critical to deal with both personal sin and generational patterns that may still be active.
Identifying Open Doors
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where sin, trauma, or ancestral practices may have opened a door to the enemy. These might include:
-
Occult involvement (even horoscopes or “harmless” spiritual games)
-
Bitterness or unforgiveness (Ephesians 4:26–27)
-
Sexual sin or soul ties
-
Freemasonry or witchcraft in the bloodline
James 5:16 encourages us to “confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed.”
Healing and deliverance come through repentance and bringing things into the light.
Break Legal Rights Through Repentance and Renunciation
Once revealed, the next step is to repent and renounce any known sin or generational iniquity. Speak it out loud in prayer:
“Father, I repent for any known or unknown sin in my life or in my family line that has given the enemy access. I renounce all involvement in witchcraft, rebellion, and occult practices. I apply the blood of Jesus over myself and my family line, and I cancel every assignment, curse, or projection sent against me in Jesus’ name.”
Galatians 3:13 tells us: “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.”
Through Jesus, every curse can be broken.
Put On the Armor and Stand
Ephesians 6:11 says, “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”
You don’t need to fear the enemy — you need to be equipped to resist him. Fear is itself an open door. But God has given you everything you need:
-
The Belt of Truth — knowing God's Word
-
The Breastplate of Righteousness — walking in holiness
-
The Shield of Faith — extinguishing every fiery dart
-
The Sword of the Spirit — speaking God’s Word with authority
Declare out loud:
“I am clothed in the full armor of God. I am hidden in Christ. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. Every spirit sent against me must go, in Jesus’ name!”
Engage in Fearless Spiritual Warfare
Spiritual warfare is not about shouting louder — it’s about standing in your God-given authority. Fear has no place in a believer’s response.
2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
When you sense an attack — whether it be nightmares, spiritual oppression, or the perception of another presence — calmly and confidently rebuke it:
“In the name of Jesus Christ, I bind and rebuke every spirit not from God. You have no place here. I command you to leave and never return.”
You are not a helpless victim. You are a blood-bought child of the Most High, and the devil is terrified of a believer who knows their identity.
Cover Your Home and Mind with the Blood and Word
The blood of Jesus is your covering. Revelation 12:11 says, “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.”
Plead the blood of Jesus over your home, your room, your mind, and your dreams. Surround yourself with worship and the spoken Word of God. Darkness cannot abide where light dwells.
Final Encouragement
You don’t need to fear astral projection, curses, or spiritual intrusion. But you do need to be spiritually
alert and rooted in the Word. As you close doors, break legal rights, and stand in the authority of Jesus, you will walk in peace and protection. Let your warfare be based in truth, not fear — and remember, “greater is He that is in you than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
Methods of discernment:
• Who was the founder of this modality?
• What was his/her spirituality?
• What culture did it come out of?
• What were their beliefs?
• Who is their God or gods?
Many occult practices in Christianity need to be discerned. Another method of discernment is the Word of God. The word of God is our measuring stick. The more we read the word, know the word, and have a relationship with the Lord, the more we discern right and wrong. We perish from a lack of knowledge.
Hosea 4:6 declares, “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.”

If you've been involved in a new age, occult, or cult, it can invite demonic spirits to torment you. If you feel tormented, you may need deliverance.
