What Does The Bible Say About Witchcraft And Black Magic? | Adventures With Paul Part 5

When the Apostle Paul visited Ephesus, he found a city filled with idols, statues, and altars to pagan gods on every corner. Ephesus was notorious for black magic and the occult. They practiced witchcraft and sorcery. They had scrolls full of spells, incantations, and magic curses. The Bible FORBIDS all of this! 

You should know that if you’re a follower of Jesus Christ, you shouldn’t have anything to do with this stuff. It’s not innocent. It’s not a hobby. It’s not fun – it’s literally opening a door to the demonic. Tarot cards, Wiccan candles, herbs, astrology, mediums and psychics – even dabbling with these offers the devil a foothold in your life, because satan is extremely powerful. So, learn a lesson from the Ephesians. When they learned the truth of Jesus and saw the Holy Spirit at work, they abandoned their witchcraft and black magic. 

So, here’s a question to consider – what are your modern day idols and strongholds? When you’re in tune with the Holy Spirit, sometimes God will speak to you about everyday idols that aren’t demonic, but they are distracting, taking your time and attention away from God! Could it be a porn collection on your computer? A playlist that’s perverse? Music that pollutes your mind? If you want to live a spiritually powerful life, you need to cut ties!
