Messing around in the "dark" is extremely dangerous. I may have even knocked on some doors that I shouldn't have with all this.
And I have paid for it already...
My advice is not to look into these dark places. There are things one cannot unsee...but you'll wish you could.
Love is the most powerful force and the one direction all of our minds should be fixed upon. Love will conquer all of this. Ask to perfected in Love.
You are not alone, I am reminded of an old story about
C.S. Lewis. One of his works of fiction - The Screwtape Letters
a story about an old experienced demon writing to a new
underling demon. I read the book, which was enlightening,
but after I read it, even though it did help me with identifying
very simple human thoughts that were in reality harmful,
I felt a little scared, albeit I was still young. Its not a heavy
duty work by any means.
Many refer to it as "the safest road to hell"
Even C.S. Lewis wrote of it afterwards -
"Though I had never written anything more easily, I never wrote with less enjoyment. … [T]hough it was easy to twist one’s mind into the diabolical attitude, it was not fun, or not for long. The strain produced a sort of spiritual cramp. The work into which I had to project myself while I spoke through Screwtape was all dust, grit, thirst, and itch. Every trace of beauty, freshness, and geniality had to be excluded. It almost smothered me before I was done. "

I will keep you in prayer, and remember that God is all powerful.
“The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen” (2 Timothy 4:18 NIV). Jesus never leaves us to battle alone.
Thank you so much for that.
I'd like to explain why I went digging around in this subject.
Plain and simple: I believe a family member is oppressed by an evil spirit. I went digging into all of it to learn to see signs of it. How to deal with it. Basically I was educating myself so I could wrap my mind around it all.
Back Then I was deeply involved in MK-ULTRA research. This all started with the study of symbols. I had been looking into demonic symbolism (sigils) and had been researching how these symbols are all throughout movies and TV. One thing leads to another and I ended up looking at witchcraft. I wondered if a family member had messed around with any form of Magik that may have resulted in some of our "family curse." I looked into magic, to see the rituals and how it all looks so I could learn to identify it.
I wish I had just went surfing instead...
What I found is, black magic is everywhere.
And even thinking about communing with "spirits" is nothing but danger. It will be a very bad thing for whoever attempts it.
Now, a little background. In the summer of 2018 I started to attend Biblical studies and ministry school
I wanted to be a preacher. I have studied God's word for almost a decade now. I've read the entire KJV, as well as the Catholic Bible, and all the scrolls pertaining to the God of Israel (Yahweh). That includes all the text from the Ethiopian Bible, as well as the Key of Solomon, and all his lesser books.
But, the most important piece of my puzzle is, I am strong in faith. As is my relationship with our Lord.
Otherwise I never would have attempted looking into such dark material. But even with that, I do NOT recommend looking into any of this.
I'm gearing up for spiritual warfare, and I wanted to study my "enemy."
I do not recommend it to anyone else. These things are very real, and extremely dangerous.
Thank you for your prayers. I receive them! God bless.
