The Magic Circle: Occult Practice That Opens the Door to Demonic Torment

🔥 The Deception of the Magic Circle: A False Sacred Space

The Magic Circle is a ritual boundary drawn by occultists, witches, and practitioners of ceremonial magic. They claim it "protects" them from harmful forces while allowing them to summon spirits or “channel energy.” However, this false shield doesn’t guard them at all—it opens the door to demonic infiltration, torment, and death.

These circles are rooted in pagan spirituality, drawing from Babylonian, Egyptian, Celtic, and Greco-Roman magical systems. Instead of looking to the true and living God, practitioners invoke elemental spirits, angels, or gods from false religions—gods that the Bible calls demons (1 Corinthians 10:20).

These rituals are never spiritually neutral. Whether done out of curiosity or deep occult devotion, magic circles invoke spiritual laws that violate God’s commandments and invite demonic torment.

---

🚫 What Happens Spiritually When a Circle Is Drawn?

When a person creates a magic circle, they are stepping into forbidden spiritual territory. These actions often result in:

• Hearing tormenting voices

• Seeing terrifying apparitions or lights

• Experiencing sleep paralysis or night terrors

• Sudden psychological breakdowns, depression, or suicidal thoughts

• Feeling "watched" or spiritually attacked at night

As they open these spiritual gateways, demons are legally allowed to afflict them—causing panic, madness, or even death. This is not fantasy. It’s real spiritual law.

📖 What Does the Bible Say?

God warned Israel not to seek the dead or engage in divination, sorcery, or spiritism:

“Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.” —Leviticus 19:31 (NIV)

King Saul consulted a medium and was cursed (1 Samuel 28). In Acts 19:19, new believers burned their magic scrolls as a public sign of repentance—proving these practices are incompatible with following Jesus Christ.

God’s truth protects us for a reason. His Word is clear:

“There shall not be found among you anyone who…practices witchcraft…or calls up the dead.” —Deuteronomy 18:10–12

God’s Warning Against Inner Listening and Channeling Spirits

Inner Listening and Channeling: A Deceptive Door to Demonic Influence

In today’s age of spiritual experimentation and New Age teachings, many are drawn to practices like “inner listening” or channeling for personal guidance, emotional healing, or deeper enlightenment. These practices involve quieting the mind to receive supposed messages from spirit guides, ancestors, or other unseen entities. While these methods may appear harmless—or even beneficial—at first, they often open the door to dangerous spiritual influences that can lead to mental torment, confusion, and even death. As Christians, it is crucial to discern the spiritual roots of such practices and to understand why God strictly forbids them.

What Is Inner Listening?

Inner listening refers to the practice of stilling the mind to receive internal guidance, usually attributed to higher beings or universal consciousness. It's often promoted through meditation, channeling, automatic writing, or spiritual coaching. Many practitioners claim to hear messages from ascended masters, spirit guides, deceased loved ones, or extraterrestrial beings. These messages usually come in the form of thoughts, voices, visions, or inner impressions.

The intent behind this practice is often spiritual growth, emotional healing, or personal empowerment. However, it also reflects a deeper desire for secret knowledge and divine insight—outside of God.

Who Uses It and Why?

Those who engage in inner listening come from diverse backgrounds—psychics, mediums, spiritual healers, energy workers, and New Age seekers. Many are genuinely looking for answers, healing from trauma, or purpose in life. Some seek to awaken hidden abilities or establish a direct link to the spiritual world. However, the source of this “guidance” is not the Holy Spirit but unclean spirits that disguise themselves as beings of light.

2 Corinthians 11:14 warns, “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”

Historical and Cultural Roots

Inner listening and channeling have deep roots in ancient pagan cultures. These practices are found in shamanism, Hinduism, spiritualism, Theosophy, and Eastern mysticism. One key figure in popularizing channeling was Alice Bailey, a Theosophist and medium who claimed to receive messages from a spirit named “Djwhal Khul.” Her writings laid the foundation for much of today’s New Age teachings.

Bailey’s spirituality was steeped in occultism, esoteric knowledge, and Luciferian principles. She saw Lucifer as a bringer of light and knowledge—a blatant contradiction to the truth of Scripture. Her god was not the God of the Bible, but the so-called "universal consciousness" or cosmic force—impersonal and morally neutral.

The Spiritual Danger: Demonic Influence

What many do not realize is that opening oneself to unknown spiritual voices is equivalent to giving demons legal access to torment the soul. These unseen beings do not come in peace. Once invited, they begin to influence the mind and emotions, often leading to mental health issues, hearing disturbing voices, seeing flashing lights or shadowy figures, sleep paralysis, depression, or suicidal thoughts.

While these manifestations are often dismissed as psychological, they are spiritual in origin. People inch closer to madness without realizing the enemy is using their desire for divine connection as a trap.

King Saul: A Biblical Warning

Scripture gives us sobering examples. In 1 Samuel 28, King Saul, after losing favor with God, turned to a medium to call up the spirit of the prophet Samuel. Though he once banished such practices, Saul's disobedience led him into direct contact with the occult. The result? He was told of his impending death. His descent into madness and death was the cost of consulting the dead.

This is not just an Old Testament story—it is a severe warning. When people reject God’s voice and instead turn to lesser spirits for answers, they are stepping into enemy territory.

What Does the Bible Say?

Deuteronomy 18:9–12 clearly forbids inner listening, channeling, and any form of occultism:

“When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.”

Why does God forbid these things? Because they are not innocent. They involve communion with demons who offer counterfeit guidance that leads to bondage, deception, and spiritual death.

God desires His children to hear His voice—through His Word and the Holy Spirit—not from dark spirits masquerading as guides.

The Occult’s Empty Promises

The occult promises enlightenment, hidden knowledge, and healing. It tempts seekers with control, power, and deeper understanding of life’s mysteries. But in reality, these “gifts” are a baited hook. The knowledge they offer is counterfeit. The power they deliver is slavery. The enlightenment they claim is darkness disguised as light.

Many who enter into inner listening end up spiritually oppressed, emotionally unstable, and physically ill. Deliverance ministries around the world are full of testimonies from people who dabbled in these practices and paid a heavy price—until they turned to Jesus for freedom.

Jesus: The Only True Source of Light

The good news is that Jesus Christ is the only door to true peace, wisdom, and spiritual connection. He doesn’t speak in riddles or manipulate. He says, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me” (John 10:27).

Jesus demonstrates throughout the Gospels that His power and authority are far greater than the demonic realm. In Mark 1:23-27, Jesus casts out an unclean spirit simply with His word—no rituals, no incantations, no “inner listening.”

Unlike the spirits that demand submission through fear, Jesus brings love, truth, and deliverance.

God’s Invitation to Freedom

If you’ve been involved in inner listening or channeling, know this: You can be free. Repent, renounce the spirits you’ve listened to, and turn to the living God. He will not shame you—He will forgive and deliver you. He longs to speak with you through His Spirit and His Word. You don’t need a spirit guide. You need the Holy Spirit.

Jesus says in John 8:32, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Let His truth be your anchor. Reject the counterfeit. Receive the true and living God.

---

CONCLUSION

Inner listening and channeling may sound spiritual, but they are dangerous deceptions. Rooted in occultism and guided by demonic spirits, these practices open the door to torment and death. God's Word warns against them not to restrict us, but to protect us. Only in Jesus can we find truth, freedom, and true connection to the One who created us.

Choose the voice of God—not the voices of darkness.

Methods of discernment to not fall into these false demonic practices:

• 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 within Christianity require discernment.  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.”

By Teresa Morin, President of Touch of God Int'l Ministries of Healing and Deliverance.

Symptoms of Unforgiveness

The Silent Destroyer: How Bitterness and Unforgiveness Open Doors to Mental Torment and Spiritual Bondage 

Symptoms of Bitterness

Bitterness is a deeply rooted spiritual and emotional toxin. It often begins as a smoldering resentment—a response to being wounded or wronged. Left unchecked, bitterness can morph into judgment, cruelty, gossip, and even violence, whether through words or actions.

Bitter people tend to dwell on what was done to them, replaying offenses over and over in their minds. This behavior can manifest as chronic complaining, self-pity, passive-aggressive responses, or even physical violence. Bitterness is not just a feeling—it becomes a spiritual stronghold that gives the enemy legal access to torment the soul.

The Victim Mentality and Emotional Bondage

Many who struggle with bitterness live in a victim mindset. They rehearse their stories of hurt, seeking sympathy or validation rather than healing. This fosters a spirit of self-pity and can attract more rejection, keeping them in cycles of pain. Bitterness feeds on unforgiveness, creating an internal prison from which many cannot escape.

Bitterness doesn’t stay passive. It fuels long-term mismanagement of anger, frustration, and irritation, which eventually wears down mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Psychological research supports that unresolved anger and hostility are common roots of many mental disorders, including depression, anxiety, and paranoia.

When Bitterness Becomes Mental Torment

Bitterness distorts perception. People tormented by it may have exaggerated negative thoughts or irrational fears. Some become isolated, distrustful, or even paranoid. In deliverance ministry, we’ve seen that persistent unforgiveness often correlates with spirits of fear, suspicion, and mental torment.

For example, a woman with prophetic gifting began misreading others due to her unresolved bitterness. Her spiritual discernment was clouded by paranoia, leading to broken relationships and spiritual confusion. This is how the enemy uses bitterness to fracture the community, distort reality, and isolate believers.

Bitterness Within Families and Churches

The sting of bitterness often strikes hardest in families. Bitter individuals frequently lash out at those closest to them—siblings, spouses, or parents. Their wounds fester in silence or explode in rage. Sadly, these patterns often carry over into churches. A person who cannot forgive a family member may also hold grudges against fellow believers, leading to disconnection from the Body of Christ.

Some even withdraw completely, cutting themselves off from people out of fear of being hurt again. They may start “throwaway relationships” online, easily discarding others at the first sign of disagreement.

Bitterness Affects Your Walk with God

Bitterness and unforgiveness separate us from God. Scripture is clear:

“But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matthew 6:15)

God cannot fellowship with unrepentant sin. When someone refuses to forgive, it hinders their prayers, blocks blessings, and removes divine protection.

Physical Manifestations of Bitterness

Bitterness often has physical consequences. It can lead to sleep problems, digestive issues, high blood pressure, and immune dysfunction. People may experience chest pains, migraines, or chronic fatigue rooted in internal stress and resentment.

In deliverance, we've ministered to many who harm themselves—cutting, burning, or sabotaging their own lives—because they’ve never dealt with the root of unforgiveness. When asked, nearly all admitted to harboring bitterness toward someone who wounded them in childhood.

Warning Signs of Bitterness

You may be dealing with bitterness if you:

• Feel a “ping” in your heart when someone’s name is mentioned.

• Rehearse the offense in your mind repeatedly.

• Gossip or share the offense to gain attention or sympathy.

• Get angry, cry, or withdraw when facing someone who hurt you.

• Feel coldness or disgust around certain people or groups.

• Constantly seek validation through retelling your pain.

How to Be Free from Bitterness

There is hope. Jesus came to free the captives (Luke 4:18), and bitterness is one of the chains He wants to break in your life.

1. Forgive from the Heart

Forgiveness is not a feeling—it’s a choice. It’s not excusing what was done, but choosing to release the debt.

2. Confess and Repent

Admit the sin of bitterness and ask God to cleanse your heart. Choose to walk in love and trust Him with justice.

3. Renounce the Spirit of Bitterness

In Jesus’ name, renounce the spirit of bitterness and any related spirits (anger, rejection, fear, gossip). Command them to leave.

4. Fill the Void with God's Presence

After deliverance, ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with peace, love, and joy. Spend time in worship, Scripture, and prayer.

5. Get Help if You Need It

You don’t have to walk this out alone. Touch of God Ministries offers personal and group deliverance ministry to help you heal.
