Under Witchcraft or Demonic Attacks?
Have you or your family experienced tormenting dreams, confusion, mental fog, recurring sickness, or an invisible heaviness in your home or mind? You may be under spiritual attack—not by accident, but because a door was opened. That door may have been through personal involvement in the occult, New Age practices, or even through your ancestors.
π₯ What Is the Occult and What Does "Occult" Really Mean?
What is the Occult? The word "occult" comes from the Latin occultus, meaning hidden, secret, or concealed. But biblically, we can trace similar meanings in Greek and Hebrew that show how God views such hidden knowledge and forbidden practices.
Greek: The word pharmakeia (ΟΞ±ΟμακΡία) is used in Galatians 5:19–21 to describe witchcraft or sorcery. It refers not only to drug use but to magical arts and spellcasting.
Hebrew: The word qesem (Χ§ֶΧ‘ֶΧ) means divination—a forbidden practice of seeking supernatural knowledge outside of God (Deuteronomy 18:10).
Anything that seeks spiritual power or hidden knowledge apart from the Holy Spirit is considered occultic, even if it appears good or peaceful. The devil often disguises danger as light (2 Corinthians 11:14).
God forbids nine practices in His word.
The occult, as He warns the Israelites to avoid and abhor it. Pronouncing it as towebah God, in His wisdom, lays out the Nine Forbidden Practices. They are:
1) Passing Children Through the Fire (Child Sacrifice / Moloch Worship / Abortion)
π‘ Leviticus 20:2–5 – warns of severe judgment for offering children to Molech
π‘ Jeremiah 32:35 – “They built high places for Baal... to cause their sons and daughters to pass through the fire…”
2) Divination The Heart of the Occult. Manipulation from demonic sources.
π‘ Deuteronomy 18:10
π‘ Ezekiel 13:6–9 – warns of false prophets using divination
π‘ Micah 5:12 – “I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand...”
3) Astrology We either trust God or the Zodiac, but not both!
π‘ Isaiah 47:13–14 – condemns astrologers and star-gazers
π‘ Leviticus 19:26 – “You shall not... practice divination or soothsaying.”
4) Enchantment/Encantations Someone satanically endowed to produce seductive spells.
π‘ Isaiah 47:9–12 – speaks of enchantments and sorceries
π‘ Psalm 58:5 – mentions the enchanter enchanting skillfully
5) Witchcraft and Witches Include its modern, organized counterpart, Wicca.
π‘ Exodus 22:18 (KJV): “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”
π‘ Deuteronomy 18:10: “There shall not be found among you… anyone who
practices witchcraft...”
π‘ Micah 5:12: “I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers.”
π‘ Sorcery - Galatians 5:20 – “...idolatry, sorcery (pharmakeia)...”
π‘ Revelation 21:8 – sorcerers listed among the damned
6) Charmer One manipulates objects or beings via demonic power.
π‘ Deuteronomy 18:11: “Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits…”
π‘ Psalm 58:5: “Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.”(This refers to snake charmers, but figuratively shows manipulation by magical means.)
π‘ Isaiah 19:3: “...they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits...”
7) Consulter with Familiar Spirits One who gleans knowledge from demonic contact.
π‘ Leviticus 19:31 – “Do not turn to mediums... I am the Lord.”
π‘1 Samuel 28:7–20 – Saul consults the medium of Endor, which leads to his downfall
8) Wizards Practitioners of magical arts
π‘ Leviticus 20:6 – God sets His face against anyone who seeks spiritists
π‘ Isaiah 8:19 – “Should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living?”
9) Necromancers Those who claim to be in contact with the dead.
π‘ Deuteronomy 18:11 – forbids communication with the dead
π‘ 2 Kings 23:24 – Josiah removes those who work with spirits and the dead
π« God Strongly Forbids All Occult Practices or New Age Modalities for Healing
“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…”– Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (NKJV)
This includes:
Horoscopes and astrology
Yoga and Eastern meditation
Crystals and energy healing
Reiki and chakra alignment
Communicating with the dead (necromancy)
Ouija boards, tarot cards, and spirit guides
Burning sage or using pendulums
Channeling, astral projection, or dreamcatchers
and many more. See checklist.
Many people, even believers, do these things unknowingly, believing they are “harmless.” But in reality, they open legal doors for demonic spirits to enter.
𧬠Generational Doors You Didn’t Open
Even if you didn’t participate in the occult, your ancestors may have. The Bible tells us that sins can be passed down:
“...visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation...”— Exodus 20:5 (NKJV)
If your parents or grandparents were involved in Freemasonry, witchcraft, divination, New Age religion, or false religions, you may be inheriting demonic consequences like:
Mental torment
Poverty and failure cycles
Sexual perversion
Addictions
Fear and anxiety
Unexplained illness
π¨ Do You Have These Symptoms of Occult Oppression?
If you’ve ever dabbled in these practices, or if you notice the following signs, you may need deliverance:
Nightmares, sleep paralysis, or seeing shadowy figures
Chronic anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts
Unexplained sickness that doctors can’t treat
Spiritual confusion or blocked prayer life
Constant fatigue or heaviness without reason
Financial loss, job trouble, or repeated relational failure
Feeling a “presence” in your home or on your body
Voices in your mind, paranoia, or sudden fear
These are symptoms of demonic torment. They will not go away with medicine or positive thinking. They must be broken spiritually.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”— Hosea 4:6 (NKJV)
