Occult Symbols and Repentance

[LuluLala]

First, the passage from Revelation is referring to something else.

Second, you may be battling against evil forces, but having the tattoos isn't the reason. You've renounced that way of life, and that's what matters. However, I'd agree with those who have advised you to cover, remove, or alter those tattoos if only for peace of mind.

Thank you for your help and advice. God Bless.

In Rev just before that its written those whos names are written in the lambs book from the foundation of the world will never worship the beast. See so many jump to taking the mark yet everyone has to worship or you die before the mark ever happens. Now since your NAME IS WRITTEN in the lambs book you never have nothing to fear.

So sis tattoos are just that no more no less. The enemy uses fear and can not tell the truth only lie. So flip what he says You have no fear since God your FATHER HELLO! Has not given you the spirit of fear but power and love and a sound mind. For you ARE strong in the lord in the power of HIS might. You have the JOY of lord your FATHER!

So rejoice your name is written in heaven. Again a tattoo is not the mark..

Ahh, thank you! This is comforting and warm to hear, thank you so much and God Bless.

Thank you for your advice, I feel a pull towards getting them removed. Money sadly is an issue due to having a family now but I will keep them covered until I can finally get them removed. I appreciate the help so much. God Bless.

That is probably a good idea but don't let anyone make you feel bad about them. Everyone has something they feel shame about only yours are more visible.

Don't rush to just anyone for removal either, make sure to go to someone well recommended and do them one at a time. I believe they are notoriously difficult to remove and you do not want to raise your risk of infection anymore than you have to. If you have one done and find it too much to handle do not feel you must keep going back to have more done as some kind of penitence either. We do not became more favoured in God's sight by doing any form of penitence. It is God's grace towards us as a gift, nothing that we can add to it.

This has been very eye-opening and I'm very thankful for this reply also. I have began to have a look into the options available and the website provided. I shall begin my search, thank you kindly for your help. God Bless.

Every Diocese should have an official exorcist, at least they should have one. Begin by finding the Archdiocese for the area in the UK where you are, and ringing them and asking to speak to his secretary and leave a message regarding discernment of spirits.

With all of the occult activity, my heart is with you on what you are sensing, and is most likely a reality.

However, only a trained professional can discern this appropriately and pray over you and direct you on how to be liberated and blessed.

You do not have to be Catholic to be seen and helped.

There's such freedom receiving deliverance.. According to Scripture, to maintain deliverance we need to pursue God and His Word.

Revelation 13:16
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads"

Now, I would like to raise a question from an ex-pagan/occultist. Though now, I've dedicated my life to the one and only true God. When reading this chapter, I was struck with shame and fear - I've been marked with tattoos (on my right hand no less) that relate to the occult. I can't help but feel I am in constant battle with something evil. Being rather new in my journey here, I have prayed and I have repented, I have cried with Christ. What further action could I take to show repentance and are there any possible ways I could know if there any demonic entities surrounding me and what I could do about it?

Thank you kindly in advance Brothers and Sisters.

may i ask what symbol you have tattooed on your right hand ...

Thank you for the guidance, I shall begin looking quickly. I really do appreciate this as it's been a struggle. God Bless.

It's only a wolf, but rather aggressive looking. I felt it fit my old life at the time. God Bless.

yes ... time has a way of changing our perception of a thing, and why we should not trust in it whether it be good or evil, understanding one can not have the one without the other ...

"And the wolf will dwell with the lamb,
And the leopard will lie down with the young goat,
And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little boy will lead them." - Isaiah 11:6

 

[timothyu]

And a little boy will lead them."

Well then, no need to pay attention to politicians

I'm a relatively recent convert to Christ after close to two decades of occultism and, like you, have the tattoos to prove it! While I cover them up with a long shirt when I'm in church, I don't worry about them beyond that. They're a visible reminder of a dark and sinful past, but can't have any further effect on our souls and consciences. In fact, they're quite an effective reminder of a) what a sinner I am, and b) how miraculous God's grace was when he chose to forgive me for such horrendous blasphemies.

Whatever the mark that St John speaks of in Revelation, I strongly doubt it's anything to do with tattoos. In all likelihood will not be at all obvious to humanity until the moment Jesus returns and nothing more can be done about it anyway.
