I've seen a common theme in two breakout groups I've been a part of now. Occult tricks people into thinking that "sure, it's on the occult list, but I don't mean it that way, so it's not harmful" or "I don't really think I have a problem with this stuff, I can control what I think when I see this stuff".
If you find yourself justifying your actions it's a good time to REPENT and leave that junk in the dirt where it belongs. NOTHING is worth letting this creep into your life. No book or movie or TV show is worth my freedom. Stop defending it, get rid of it and move on (really).
Good point, Rachel. I just saw this verse today:
ReplyDeleteFor rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
That's I Samuel 15:23, and that word 'stubbornness' is striking to me. I want to be easy with what God gives me to repent of! I can easily agree with the occult (witchcraft) if I'm slow to clean out my heart and life. FLEE from sin, ladies! RUN THE OTHER WAY! Repent, indeed. Thanks Rachel.
