"My tarot card readings in high school opened demon doors that will never close"
How it sounds in your head: I was curious about a girl who was into it. We did readings at parties. Now I have nightmares and bad luck. I opened something I can't shut. There's a spiritual mark on me that baptism didn't wash off.
"And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it."
-- Colossians 2:13-15Source: Occult teaching that demonic contracts survive the cross - denies Colossians 2:14 where Jesus canceled EVERY written code against us.
The nightmares started after those sessions and feel supernatural. When bad things happen now, it feels like direct consequence of inviting darkness in - like spiritual cause-and-effect.
Manasseh practiced sorcery, divination, witchcraft, consulted mediums and spiritists, sacrificed his own sons in fire, and set up carved images in God's temple. God brought him to Babylon in chains. The moment Manasseh humbled himself and prayed, God heard from heaven and brought him back to Jerusalem - INSTANT restoration despite being the worst occult king in Israel's history.
I REFUSE the lie that my occult past created doors the cross can't close. IT IS WRITTEN that Jesus DISARMED every principality and power, making a public spectacle of them through the cross. Every claim against me was NAILED to that cross and WIPED OUT. IT IS WRITTEN that if the Son sets me free, I am free INDEED - not mostly free, not free except for that one thing. I am Abraham's seed, heir according to PROMISE, and the BARAK blessing protects me NOW. The blood of Jesus speaks better things than any tarot card, Ouija board, or demonic ritual. I am DEAD to that old life and ALIVE in Christ - a new creation where the old has PASSED AWAY.
Your Father saw every tarot card, every séance, every dark curiosity - and still RAN toward you the moment you turned toward home. He's not demanding a spiritual cleansing ritual or deliverance marathon - He's placing the RING of authority back on your finger and declaring you CLEAN by the blood.
