CHRISTIANS DABBLING IN THE OCCULT http://www.miracleinternetchurch.com/the-discerning-of-demons-by-pastor-pat-holliday/deliverance Can a Christian be subjected to occult powers? When they dabble in the occult; reading black arts books can bring spiritual, mental and spiritual distress. A Christian who might wish to learn more about this subject should only consult books written by evangelical Bible scholars. “Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils: Ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s Table and of the devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?” (1 Cor. 10: 21, 22). Christians should never seek service, direction or healing from an occultist or psychic. Seeking healing from demons, they will be bewitched and guided by the demons. Many discovered to their surprise, horror that Satan who is willing to divulge supernatural affairs and give them momentary assistance. Often too late, they see the real source of their advice and supernatural ability is demonic. Confusion results; many end up going into insane asylums and never return! Occult powers come from Satan. When one uses occult power he or she opens a door for the devil to enter into their spirit. Once the door is opened, very few victims ever get it to shut again. Christians should never look for guidance or healing from an occultist or psychic. Yes, if any Christian seeks healing from these demons, they will be lured and lead by the devils. Aman whose wife had lung cancer; some Christians  encouraged him to take to see a New Age faith healer. He was warned that it was an occult healing being done by Satan. He said, “I don’t care if she is hurling conch shells, I just want my wife to live. This man was serving on a Christian international ministry board. His wife died!
