Are the occult, mysticism, demonic possession, curses, or witchcraft real?

[Suze]

Has anyone ever dealt with the supernatural, occult, paranormal, voodoo, seances, demonic possession, curses,or witchcraft?

Personally I believe that witchcraft ( so called ) is akin to all other false religions , that's what they r , just other false religions . To me , if u r going to believe in witchcraft u may as well believe in hinduism . What's the difference ? We know that other religions r false , r they the work of the devil ? Or of man's imagination ? They r all the same to me , just false religions . There is only one God , the Holy One of Israel . Everythng and anything else is just false and comes from the same source , human imagination and sin , delusions and depravity . Nothing more .

What you need to know is 'Luke 10:19 a verse from the Bible that says, "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you". We have the armor of God also, a spiritual defense that He's blest us with, so no worries🙌 Still a wise to pray over our loved ones for divine protection every day, we receive it by faith🙏

Col 1:21-23 therefore stand and stay in belief to God, no matter what it appears as
The air I breath is alive and do not see normally. The Hills are alive, the trees and all life planted by God is really alive, in different ways and forms
Respect to God for reconciliation given through Son 2 Cor 5:17-20, and see verse 16, read it all from verse 1. verse 16, wen once (The Disciples) knew Jesus (Emmanuel) in the flesh, today no more.
seeing. this when he said to Thomas, "Thomas, you beleive because you have seen me and touched me as risen". How much more will others be, that do not see and have not touched me as risen, are blessed over all evil out there in this world to not be afraid or worry anymore.
Matthew 6, will worry add any moment to anyone's life here and now? Worry has never helped me, anyone else? Thank you Father for Son as Won for us to be new in love and mercy given us first

As real as the air I breath, and yet not seen easily un less Daddy, PaPa, Father reveals this to anyone. for to be wise as a serpent and remain harmless as doves. This present world, is not mine, and I see I asm not a part of this world, yet have joined in on it, and see not to anymore, not being good for my Soul., anyone else, Father knows best for me anyways

Yes. God's word says to avoid all that is of the occult, including putting a witch to death. Satan is real and he operates in the supernatural realm (as opposed to the spiritual). Sadly, too many believers do not know the difference between supernatural and spiritual. A recent survey revealed that 30% of Americans have some involvement in the occult, even if only out of curiosity. Much of Europe is deeply entrenched in the occult. Australia is little better.

When the gospel was preached in Ephesus, one of the consequences was that believers burned their occult books. Those books were worth a fortune at that time.

I was born while my father was overseas fighting the Korean war. My well meaning relatives had a seance and sought a "guardian angel" for me. I was also born with a hereditary bondage to the occult. I could not state this more strongly: avoid it like the plague.

Correlation is not causation, I believe that the witch had powers, for instance she saw through Saul’s disguise, but Samuel could have come on his own accord or been sent by God. But the fact that the witch was more concerned with Saul than Samuel makes me think she thought she had summoned the prophet.

No witch could summon a prophet of God from the dead, she summoned a demon.

I understand, thank you I agree
Been around and have got in past caught up in things also. walked away and see to not go back there at all, ever again. Thanks I did gain a lot of awareness from that mistake made back then at age 14 then, 68 now

I have had to deal with witchcraft from my sister who is a wiccan it is real and sometimes very powerful but God is more powerful and if you deal with the occult just know that you have the authority of Christ in you they have no real power over you
