"Because I played with occult games like Ouija boards or Dungeons & Dragons, I'm still under spiritual attack."
How it sounds in your head: You weren't just playing games—you were invoking spirits, role-playing demonic characters, opening portals. Now in your sixties, you still have nightmares, sudden fears, or spiritual oppression that you believe traces back to those teenage years when you invited darkness through games.
"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."
-- 1 John 4:4Fear-based teaching that gives games and objects more power than the blood of Jesus.
You remember feeling genuine spiritual darkness during or after those games, and certain fears or nightmares seem connected to that time. As a man, admitting you're afraid of something from your youth feels weak, yet the fear persists.
These Jewish exorcists tried to use Jesus' name without relationship and got beaten by a demon-possessed man. Yet Paul, carrying the PRESENCE, had handkerchiefs and aprons taken from him that healed and cast out demons. The difference? PRESENCE. You HAVE the Presence that sons of Sceva lacked. You win by PRESENCE, not technique.
I REFUSE the lie that occult games from my past still grant demons access to me. IT IS WRITTEN: I am of God and have OVERCOME them, because He who is IN ME is GREATER than he who is in the world. No Ouija board, no role-playing game, no teenage séance has authority over a blood-bought son carrying the PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit. IT IS WRITTEN: 'No weapon formed against me shall prosper.' I am not under spiritual attack—I am VICTORIOUS. I am sealed, protected by the BARAK blessing, and the enemy is under MY feet. I am FREE. I am SAFE. I am VICTORIOUS.
The Father doesn't see you as a man haunted by games from the '70s—He sees you as a son carrying the PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit. Greater is He in you than anything you faced in your youth. Your nightmares end where His presence begins. You are SAFE in Him.
