I asked if we were under contractual protection in his book.

Since the earliest saints were murdered for their faith, I don't really see it as a protection contract. Ephesians chapter 6 indicates that we need to actively put on the armour of God.

I think that's an argument over semantics, word association for Covenant is different for Contract in general, but I guess you could think of them as the same thing.

This was a contract that was made in effect when the author of the contract (Jesus) died. (Hebrews 9:16-17)

What that contract means for different people in different parts of His body can differ. The point of commonality is that it is our work to trust Him, and the Holy Spirit fills us continually as we trust Him.

Voodoo isn’t witchcraft . Katherine Dunham the dancer was a voodoo priestess . Like Wicca it just isn’t an abrahamic faith

Like alot of shamanistic religions, it can involve spirit possession, though. Which, if you go by any account of shamanism, is a real thing and potentially psychologically and physically dangerous. The Dalai Lama goes around talking about peace and compassion but doesn't talk about how his religion is potentially used for binding and enslaving evil gods, which even Tibetan Buddhists admit is physically dangerous. The Nechung Oracle is a man selected in their religion to be literally possessed by a Tibetan war god so that they can gain occult knowledge. The experience is said to shorten his lifespan because the entity is so angry and hatefu.

I don't know what 'power' it can have to do something to christians or not, but for the ones involved in this is very damaging i think, then you have those stories of people who believed in Jesus and carried with them spiritual problems that needed to be resolved because of practicing this things.

This is not 'a joke' at all, if you get involved with the devil he is going to take advantage of you and have more power over you to try ruin your life.

Hi Family,

Do you feel the enemy, through the use of Voodoo(i am being general), has any power?

Does God allow curses to rest on Christians?

As Spirit filled Christians, what can we do to protect ourselves?

I used to go out with a friend who loved to go in a particular café for a cuppa. It was a new age type of café with crystals for sale and which held regular seances. I was not afraid to go in it with my non-Christian friend but I did make a point of going to the loo so that I could pray in tongues and with my understanding for the power of satan to be blocked. Soon after that it closed down and is now a fishmongers.

No, they have no effect on the True Born Again Christian. However, for the evil person trying to curse a Born Again Christian, their intent can return to them 7 fold if it be God’s Will to teach them.

Voodoo has a very old origin, not fun to deal with.
Voodoo, witchcraft, Kabbalah, Wiccan, Paganism, it really doesn't matter. Their "power" is all through the same source. Demons. Demons have no power except what you and God allows.

What about in cases of rape and molestation?

There are powers that be as Paul states: Ephesians 6:12

No, because of what is written: Matthew 7:24-27 & Matthew 12:29

Know and focus on Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour; God in the flesh. :yellowheart:
