Hi. I was raised a Southern Baptist. Went to church every Sunday with my father. I later spent some time as a Jehovah's Witness. Then my friends at school gradually got me involved in Satanism and Devilworship. I went very deep into the occult. They initiated me into their secret Satanic society. It's hard to leave.

I have a bible, and I like to study it. I pray often. For deliverance. I thought I'd join a forum of Christians to help me free myself from the grip of the occult.

God Bless!

Welcome. May I suggest that you ask Lord Jesus to help you? The occult is rarely a bondage that we can break ourselves. Also, I would suggest that you get rid of any books or occult related artifacts.

Hello @Amy x, WELCOME TO CF :wave: I'm ~very~ glad to hear that the Lord has helped you leave Satanism and the Occult, PTL.

I should quickly add this however, that even though you have come to a place where you can talk to/find support from a large number of Christians, I believe that church is the place that you really need to be now, first and foremost anyway (in your situation particularly). Have you begun to attend church again yet, and if you have, have you let your pastor know about everything that's going on with you right now (so that he can help/support/counsel you as you fight to get away from your former life/lifestyle, as well to let him know how he can be praying for you through all of it .. cf Hebrews 13:17)?

Praying for you.

God bless you! (Proverbs 3:5-6; Romans 12:2; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

--David

Psalm 1
1 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.

Man, I knew them baptists were bad news...
Just kidding :)
Great news that you are seeking deliverance!
My advice is to get new friends. Seriously;

Proverbs 13:20 "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools will be utterly destroyed."
Psalm 1:1
"How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!"

Stay strong!

Praying. Check this out.

Matthew 8: NASB


1When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.2And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”3Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

5And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him, 6and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented.” 7Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” 8But the centurion said, “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.9“For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.10Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel. 11“I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;12but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed that very moment.

Turn your face to G-d.
ISAIAH 55:6-7. 6 Seek the L-rd while he may be found, call upon him while he is near; 7 let the wicked forsake their way, and the unrighteous their thoughts; let them return to the L-rd, that he may have mercy on them, and to our G-d, for he will abundantly pardon.
