Spiritual
Adultery and Death
The Scriptures condemn all forms of occultism
and sorcery, and warn that ...they which do such
things shall not inherit the kingdom of God (Gal.
5:19-21)
but ...are an abomination unto the Lord (Deut. 18:12)
and ...shall have their part in the lake which burneth
with fire and brimstone
(Rev. 21:8). From earliest times God forbade occultism
as spiritually defiling
(Lev. 19:31 and made participation in it it punishable
by death (Ex. 22:18; Lev. 20:27) and cause for
rejection of that soul by God (Lev. 20:6).
The results of consulting or practicing the occult
leads to demon possession for you and your
descendants, and finally to be tormented in Hell for
eternity! There isn't any ultimate reconciliation!
Almighty God calls
seeking after other gods (occult) as spiritual
adultery, fornication and whoring!
Ancestors, parents
or yourself can cause curses to come on you or your
children. This is the inheritance of the curse.
WARNING
AGAINST CONTACT WITH THE OCCULT (EXCERPTS)
According to the Scriptures, the sins of the
fathers are visited upon the third and fourth
generations of those who disobey God. It is carefully
pointed out in Exodus 20:5 when the law was given, and
is specifically connected with the commandment
prohibiting the construction and worship of graven
images which constitutes the worship of demons. For
those who disregard this stark warning and make
contact with occult spirits, there will be terrible
and certain repercussions in the form of sickness,
misery, insanity, and sometimes an early death.
There are many, many
ways in which the occult spirits are given ground
through various contacts, and cause marital upheaval
and other problems of all kinds. Unless the curse is
broken, it will continue to plague the family and its
descendants to the third and fourth generations. It
predisposes people to be physically oriented and
sensitive, and through psychic heredity, to pick up
more curses and spirits, thus extending the hereditary
blight to many generations.
TYPES OF
OCCULTISM (EXCERPTS)
Occultism is participation or involvement in
any way with fortune telling, magic practices,
spiritism, (or false religious cults and teachings.)
Contact with the occult may have occurred in
childhood. Occult involvement can come from previous
generations (Deut. 5:7-9). Check yourself out with the
following lists:
Fortune telling
(Proverbs 3:5-7): Palm-reading, crystal ball, cards,
tea leaves, handwriting analysis; games such as Ouija,
ESP, Telepathy, Kabala, Horoscope, Clairvoyant,
Voodoo, etc.; pendulums, horoscopes, and astrology;
anything that predicts your future or advises your
life (Isaiah 47:13; II Kings 1:1-4).
Magic Practices and
Spiritism
(Deut. 18:9-12): mediums and seances, table- tipping,
levitation, necromancy, communicating with the dead or
spirit guides, automatic writing, divining,
water-witching, or dowsing with forked sticks or other
objects for water, oil, minerals, underground sewer
and water lines, etc.; ESP, PK (psychokinesis),
telepathy, clairvoyance, Coloradans psychic powers,
second sight, hypnosis, self-hypnosis, remote
influence of the sub-conscious mind of others, auras,
metaphysics, mental science, self-realization,
visions, trances, dreams; superstition, witchcraft;
black, white, and neutral magic, charms, good luck
items, fetishes, runes, amulets, talismans, mascots,
medals, crux ansanta (ankh), birth signs, spells,
incantations, potions, sorcery, curses,
materialization or apport, apparitions, ghosts,
poltergeists; magic healing thru wart or burn
charming, powwow, spiritualism, psychic spirit or
metaphysical healing, Christian Science healing, rod
or pendulum diagnosis, trance diagnosis, acupuncture,
yin-yang. All books, literature, music, etc. dealing
with occultism.
SPIRITUAL
ADULTERY (EXCERPTS)
Divination - A very general term taking in
any supernatural process of gaining hidden knowledge
that cannot be discerned through the natural mind or
senses. For example, water-witching, use of Ouija
boards, fortune tellers, mediums and horoscopes. (The
Bible has three approved ways of gaining hidden
knowledge: (1) prayer to the Father in Jesus' name,
(2) the legitimate spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit,
and (3) divine revelation from the Word of God.)
Observer of
Times
The following of horoscopes, omens in the sky
and nature, astrology and monthly prognostication.
(Rom. 6:3-11 tells us that Christians have been
crucified and buried with Christ Jesus. II Cor. 5:17
tells us that if any man is in Christ Jesus he is a
new creation in Jesus. This being true there is no way
to plot our lives by the heavens or good and bad omens
seeing how we are now identified with the Creator and
not the creation.)
Enchanter
One who uses the human voice or music to
bring another person under psychic control. Hypnosis
and spell casting comes under enchantments. (The
believer should be controlled only by the Holy Spirit.
He does not need an enchanter to get into his mind to
discover the past, present or future. All he has to do
is ask God who will give him all the wisdom he needs
(James 1:5).
Witch and
Wizard
Female and male, respectively, who practice
white, grey, or black magic. Anyone who use
clairvoyant or psychic powers such as ESP, mental
telepathy, levitation of objects, astral projection,
etc. In the Old Testament physical death was the cure
for witchcraft (Ex. 22:18); in the New Testament
eternal damnation (Galatians 5:20:21).
Charmer
The use of amulets, potions and symbols to
hypnotize, cast spells, bring good luck, to charm away
warts and diseases, and to give protection from evil.
Some of these are pictured as follows: 1. The Ankh or
Luv Knot symbolizes sexual intercourse, eternal life
and is often used in the Devil's pentagram. It has
nothing to do with the eternal life purchased by the
cross of Jesus Christ and should not be worn on the
body. 2. The devil's or witches' foot, an old symbol
in black magic. It has nothing to do with peace. 3.
The Word tells us that the believer can have health
and good success through obedience to the Word (Psa.
1:1-3; Prov. 4:20-21). We can appropriate divine
health through and because of the stripes of Jesus by
prayer with faith. (Psa. 103:2-4; I Pet. 2.24; James
5:14-15)
Consulter
With Familiar Spirits
A medium who uses a demon or evil spirit to
tell them about the present or future of individuals,
or the location of lost persons or objects. (In Acts
16:16-18 Paul met a fortune telling girl who had a
familiar spirit or a spirit of divination. Paul cast
the spirit out of her. He would have never done this
if it was a gift from God.)
Necromancer
This is a medium who consults a demon that
mimics a dead person. The necromancer will often go
into a trance and let the evil spirit take over his
body and speak through him. (Ecc. 9:5-6) tells us that
the dead do not know anything, that they have no
emotions, and they have no portion of the earth. It is
appointed unto man once to die and after that the
judgement (Heb. 9:27.) The spirit of a dead person
either goes to heaven or hell when he dies.
PRAYERS FOR
BREAKING WITCHCRAFT CONTROL AND CURSES (EXCERPTS)
"We break all curses and control of
witchcraft as uttering a wish of evil against one; to
call for mischief or injury to fall upon; to execrate,
to bring evil upon or to; to blast, vex, harass or
torment with great calamities; individuals working in
concert with an evil specific form of evil spirit
activity; Satanic covens of witches and warlocks;
persons dabbling with witchcraft and sorcery, casting
spells, potions, enchantments and curses: wrong kinds
of psychic prayers; and witchcraft control (Pro.26:2;
Psa.109; I John I:9; Gal. 3:10-15.)"
"I am now closing
any door I may have opened to you, Satan, through
contact with witchcraft, occult, and similar
activities. I am closing the door against all these
things I know about and all the things I don't know
about. I renounce you and all your demons and I'm
closing every door I may have opened. Christ redeems
those who put their trust in Him. Jesus Christ became
a cursed on the cross for us and blotted out the
handwriting of ordinances against us. We claim and
apply these principles. We break the curses back to
ten generations or even to Adam and Eve. All legal
holds and legal grounds are removed in Jesus name."
"We break all
curses, spells, hexes, etc. sent upon us by envious
enemies who seek to harm us or kill us or wreck havoc
physically, emotionally, and / or spiritually. We bind
and order any demons to come out of us and return to
the senders escorted by angels to destroy that seat of
witchcraft. The demons are commanded to confuse and
sow terror and panic in the hearts of witches and
warlocks."
"Since we have power
over the demons through Jesus' Name, they are our
slaves and they must obey us as we command. We command
the demons to attack their own works and to destroy
each other and to shake the kingdom of evil to its
very foundation (Rom. 6:16; II Pet. 2:19; Matt. 12:28;
Luke 11: 20."
"Lord Jesus Christ,
I believe you died on the cross for my sins and rose
again from the dead. You redeemed me by your blood and
I belong to you, and I want to live for you. I confess
all my sins - known and unknown- I'm sorry for them
all. I renounce them all. I forgive all other as I
want you to forgive me. Forgive me now and cleanse me
with your blood. I thank you for the blood of Jesus
Christ which cleanses me now from all sin. Thank you
Lord Jesus for dying for my sins, for your glorious
resurrection, and for making me a new creature in
Christ-- by faith in Your precious blood. Now that I
am washed by the blood and free from sin, I have a
right to attack the enemy and command the enemy to
attack itself."
"Dear Lord I
have a confession to make:"
Through ignorance, stupidity or willfulness I have
sought supernatural experiences apart from Your Word
and I ask You to help me as I renounce all these
things. Cleanse me in body, soul, and spirit I pray.
Satan, I am closing any door which I may have opened
to you through contact with the occult. I renounce all
contact with witchcraft, magic, Ouija boards, and
other occult games; I renounce all kinds of fortune
telling, palm reading, tea leaf reading, crystal
balls, Tarot and other card laying; I renounce all
astrology, birth signs, and horoscopes; I renounce the
heresy of reincarnation and all healing groups
involved in metaphysics and spiritualism; I renounce
all hypnosis under any excuse or authority; I renounce
all rock music, including acid, hard and Jesus rock; I
renounce all transcendental meditation, yoga, Zen and
all eastern cults and religious idol worship; I
renounce all martial arts, including Judo, Kung Fu and
Karate; I renounce all water witching or dowsing,
levitation, table tipping, bodylifting, psychometry
(divining through objects), automatic writing, and
handwriting analysis; I renounce all literature I have
ever read and studied in any of these fields and I vow
I will destroy such books in my possession. I renounce
astral projection. soul and out-of-body travel and
other demonic skills. I renounce, in the Name of the
Lord Jesus Christ, all psychic heredity that I have
and break any demonic hold on my family line back to
ten generations on both sides of my family; I do now
renounce and forsake every psychic and occult contact
that I know about and those which I do not know about;
I renounce every cult that denies the blood of Jesus
Christ and every philosophy which denies the deity of
the Lord Jesus."
"Lord I have another
confession to make. I have not loved, but have
resented certain people and I call upon you to help me
forgive them. Lord Jesus, I do now forgive the
following people for anything they have ever done to
hurt or disappoint me (insert here the names of
persons, living or dead, who come to mind). In Jesus
Name, Amen (Deut. 7:26; 17:2-5; 18:10-12; Matt.
18:22-35; Mark 11:25-26; Acts 19:19; Heb. 12:15; I
John 4:7-12)."
"Father, I come to
you now in the Name of Jesus. I believe He is the Son
of God that takes away the sins of all who repent and
confess Him as Lord. Father this day I come to confess
as a sin and renounce my contact with all forms of the
occult and false religions. I hate Satan, all his
demons and all his works. In particular, I confess and
renounce the following: going to fortune tellers,
reading horoscopes, believing in reincarnation, etc.
(Confess all sins you can remember that the Holy
Spirit may have brought to your mind.) I also confess
and renounce as a sin any contact that I cannot
remember. I count all that offends you, Lord, as my
enemy. Father, I want to be holy even as you are holy.
Father, I thank you for forgiving me and now I rise
clean and in newness of life in Christ Jesus. In Jesus
Name. Amen."
