How do you fight witchcraft

[readyforachange]

Hello all!

I had a past dealing with the occult for many years which I have finally seen that it is a true deception by the enemy. Not only have I realized it is a deception but I have made it my goal to deliver other family members from it by preaching to them in hopes they would repent and change. I have already started doing so. Over the past two years I have been under spiritual attack that is getting stronger and stronger and I believe is from witchcraft from some people I am no longer friends with. I am constantly plagued with demonic nightmares, feel depressed, having weird sicknesses, car accident, incredible confusion and my cat recently died. Before my repentence last year I thought the only way to fight witchcraft is with witchcraft but I have learned that it only makes the situation much worst. Since then I have started going to bible study and learning about Christ and now the attacks are even worst! As a new Christian and a repented Christian I do not know what to do. The church I go to just tell me to continue studying the bible and praying but I still feel so lost. I pray all the time for protection and I still feel guilty as though God has written me off for good. The attacks are so strong and unbearable at times.
How can I effectively defeat this and live a new life of Christ? Why am I still experiencing demonic nightmares, weird accidents, and pains?

Have you gone through deliverance yet?

Witchcraft comes from evil spirits, and they stay inside the body until they are cast out by God, by you or by another believer in the name of Jesus. And they continue to torment us until stopped, and until we are cleansed and have let go completely of our pasts. Have you done this yet?

As for witchcraft, you simply pray against it. Break any curse or spell put upon yourself by others in the name of Jesus Christ, and ask the Lord for protection and for Him to stop the attacks. If you have done this, the attacks are coming directly from the enemy and not from other people.

I've gone through a lot of what you are describing, so please send me a PM if you want to talk. I would love to help you out.

In Christ,
Em

That Bible study should be praying over you.

Outside of praying remove anything in your house that might be an anchor from that former life. Evil music, books, crystals, etc renouncing it as you destroy it. Remember that there is no sin greater in power than Christs promise to you of salvation. Faith is trust in that promise. Pray, and have the Bible Study pray over you like they should have done. The way it increases when you try to go to a Bible Study makes me think it is something anchored to you, rather than brought on by someone else. Have you been Baptized? I would look into that if you haven't been.

I'm currently staying with someone and will be moving out in 2 weeks they have a few items such as a buddha statue, dreamcatcher and a dragon poster.
Ive been dealing with these nightmares for about two years now. I started studying with JW but they do not believe in exorcisms or deliverance in the method of praying over someone. I haven't been studying long but i'm so miserable and it's worst now that i'm trying to learn about God. The person that supposedly helped me get rid of the witchcraft took my money and I believe she made it worst my life has been darker afterwards. I need help.

Heavenly Father, I ask your grace and mercy on Your servant @readyforachange , and ask that in Your loving kindness, that You would comfort him in his loss, deliver him from nightmares and evil spirits that afflict him, forgive his sins, and guide him that he might walk closer to You, enveloped in Your love and protection. Lord, have mercy.

I have never had involvement with the occult, though I did follow Buddhism for a few years in my youth. I have been troubled by nightmares and the Old Hag (sleep paralysis, I presume) over the years. I don’t have much advice, except pray regularly (confesssing and repenting of past sin), read the Psalms at night before bed, and seek out advice and prayer from your pastor. I am sorry you are facing such suffering at this time.

Read 2 Kings 5. While you are in that house you need to create a sacred space just like Naaman did when he asked for some dirt from Isreal to take back with him. As a Christian you are a temple of God, you are sacred space. Claim that room, corner to corner for God. Give that space to God.

How do you fight witchcraft ... The attacks are so strong and unbearable at times. How can I effectively defeat this ...

Greetings. I'm sorry to hear about your troubles.

I've personally known some (myself included), who have had great success repelling negative/evil spiritual forces practicing metta (good-will/loving-kindness) meditation:

"when ... good-will is cultivated, developed, pursued, handed the reins and taken as a basis, given a grounding, steadied, consolidated, & well-undertaken, any non-human being who would think of possessing that ... mind would simply reap his share of trouble & vexation." SN 20.5

"for one whose ... good will is cultivated, developed, pursued, handed the reins and taken as a basis, given a grounding, steadied, consolidated, and well-undertaken ... benefits can be expected ... One sleeps easily, wakes easily, dreams no evil dreams. One is dear to human beings, dear to non-human beings. The devas protect one ..." AN 11.16​

We practice metta meditation by settling and focusing the mind, then cultivating the growth of feelings of loving-kindness & good-will in the mind towards all beings, mentally "radiating" that metta energy towards every direction.

One friend has a family who very visibly experienced the effects of malevolent witchcraft cast against them (unexplained scratches on their bodies, repeated illnesses, cold spots, very "bad luck", etc.), and successfully exorcised the problem within a few days when he & his whole family practiced metta meditation.

Witchcraft is based on the belief that by performing certain rituals, "spiritual powers" can be induced to grant our wishes. There is no such thing as witchcraft.

I was also once a witchcraft practitioner before Jesus saved me. After I was saved I still was being attacked by demons; I could even see and hear them. It got worse the more I learned about God. What made the big difference was getting rid of all the evil music, crystals, anything dealing with it. I then prayed the demons out of my life; I even went to the point of anointing everything in my house. Including clothes, all belongings, doorways; all in the name of Christ, the father, and the holy spirit. They eventually left after doing that. I've still found at times they will come back; but it's because you are now a serious threat to them, they are fearful of the power of Christ. If it wasn't so, they wouldn't be trying to torture you so. Keep your head up friend, do these things, pray, trust in Christ, learn, and soon it will stop.

Oh, but there absolutely is.
