HOW ARE CHRISTIANS PROTECTED FROM THE OCCULT AND WITCHCRAFT? What is God’s way to deal with the occult? Especially for those practicing witchcraft and the occult, demonic possession is all over our world today. But it can also happen to anyone who puts themselves into an altered state of consciousness. Here is Mark 9, which has one of many Bible passages where Jesus deals with demon possession, and this is a man in the crowd addressing Jesus: "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit [demon] that has robbed him of speech. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him on the ground, he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. And I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not."; Jesus replied, "You unbelieving generation.” Isn't that exactly like the world we're living in today; even including much of the Christian Church? Talk about an unbelieving generation; today we don't believe what we're reading right now about how actual demonic possession exists. But it is our reality even now and on a scale greater than anyone can imagine. Oftentimes people become demonically possessed when they get involved with the occult. I have been there, done that, and wish I hadn't bought the T-shirt. Another way to risk becoming demonically possessed is through drug use. But the good news is I was saved by calling on the name of Jesus, Who can cast out demons just like we Christians can in His name. For those not saved, accepting Jesus as your Savior provides your only available protection from evil.
