Agreed.The only reason Satan has power, THE ONLY REASON, is because he takes just enough truth that one can believe in and then distorts it.
He speaks to Eve saying "did God say not to eat from the tree of good and evil, well that's because God doesn't want you to become like him if you do eat it. Just look how beautiful it is.
The Occult didn't come first. God did, and God made it clear that all creation comes from His "GOOD" work. Understand also, that God created Lucifer and if God so desired God can un-create him real fast, like a vapor. The Occult is a distorted and fractured representation of God's goodness. It attracts those who are looking to question God.
God made a loaf of unleavened bread, Satan tempts us to add a little leaven to it, and when we do, we eat the Occult because the bread is now unholy.
I really need to say this because it needs to be said, especially since @jessicaleks93 is coming out from a New Age background.
When I came into Christianity, I was leaving the occult, and what made it extremely difficult was learning that there are a lot of New Age beliefs they will try to tell you are Christian.
I used tarot cards, i-ching, runes, astrology, tea divination- you name it, thinking I was communicating with God. I figured it's okay, as long as I am actually speaking to Jesus through the i-ching because a guy on a website told me so and gave a bunch of Bible verses that lined up with the course he was trying to sell me.
I was not communicating with God. I found that out the hard way. A spiritual attack is not something you ever want so just throw it all out.
You'll find there are a lot of "Christians" still using numerology or opening up to "random verses" and close eyes with a finger on it to find out what God is saying, or if you were me getting "instructions" on the random Bible verse generator.
All together just don't. Just read the Bible and pray and let God do what he wants.
Most of the time, the most active times I have ever seen God in my life is when he was also the most silent. He did everything without saying a word. You don't need to "hear" Him as much as you need to know Him.
