20 OPEN DOORS to DEMONS (even if you’re not into religion, this is just natural laws, dogg).
- Acupuncture
- Any form of WITCHCRAFT (even “good magic”)
- Anything to do with “contacting spirits”
- Anchoring
- Attempts to “Manifest” something
- TRAUMA
- Hypnosis and/or Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)
- Yoga
- “Meditation”
- “Shadow work”
- “Affirmations”
- “Incantations”
- Ouija Board
- Tarot Cards
- EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing “therapy”)
- Ketamine
- LSD
- Dream-Catcher
- “Ankh” (Key of Life)
- Prosperity Gospel/”Name it and Claim it” or even “Blab it and Grab it” (Lol I am not making this up hehe)
- Fasting and Praying for a particular outcome
- Drinking alcohol (or using any substances) for reasons of “calming down” or even just “getting socially-lubricated” (nasty term, sorry; I know you’re not a Camaro)
- Acupressure, Dopamine-Flooding (these I’m on the fence about, but I’ve seen weirdness with these; it COULD however be related to other stuff from this list that was going on that I wasn’t made aware of
This is to say naught of the obvious ones like “watching horror movies” or “going to seance.”
Am I saying these things “don’t work” ? (For the things related to “feeling better” or even “getting better” ; smoking up coz you’re bored isn’t the same as smoking because you’re having flash-backs, for example.)
NO. Many of them DO work–inasmuch as you’re trying to “calm down” or “get past trauma” or “feel better about yourself.” OR “talk with my gramps one last time” (ouija), get some help for the future (via divination aka tarot, which AIN’T divine, nor is it down With God. Or, like, God Is Down on it, coz it’s divination. Which isn’t divine, Which He Is, so, like… look. Just trust me on this one, lol.)
Then there’s the whole thing about “blanking one’s brain” (imagine nothing and all that), “relax your consciousness” (kind of like blanking, but also meant to “give up control”–yes, in order to calm down and de-stress, but, like, if there’s a mosquito around, I’ma be vigilant against it, you know? Even if I can’t see it.).
Apart from that, fasting and praying TO GET THAT JOB OR MAN OR WHATEVER, that’s called witchcraft (again, even if you ain’t down with JC). Any time a person tries to “force the hand of the universe,” that’s called witchcraft. (Let’s just do a quick Galatians 5:19ish but there be lots of other verses against it, including tons in The Old Testament.)
What of yoga? The word means YOKE, which any Christian (I pray) understands; if we aren’t supposed to have close friends of other faiths (like if my only and bestest friend was agnostic Shinto or whatnot–I know, I know), if I’m not supposed to marry someone who isn’t born again (trust me, I have no desire to, and they would die from my hourly prayer lol), if I’m ONLY supposed to be or allowed to be YOKED With or To Jesus and my Covenant Man (aka husband), then yoking with brahma or the universe or any god or idol or demon be asking for company.
Same with “energy work” or even Acu-whatever (Qi Gong, Chi, chakra, maleesh da3wa, etc.)
Any time you invite something supernatural to visit, they will always say yes.
(I’m not saying it’s BAD, just that you WILL necessarily get a roommate if you do these things.)
I am so SO SORRY to also say this: TRAUMA is a HUGE open door. (I KNOW, IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT OR MY FAULT. :(
It’s bad enough to be treated badly. But on top of that you get unwelcome guests that make you NEED more from other people–but also be IMPOSSIBLE to satiate. Are we broken vessels? Perhaps (not unfixable, though). BUT… with a parasite latched on, even if you are NOT broken, you can still feel empty with all the adulation and great friend group and even family that you’d ever dream of. 🙁
So what kind of trauma?
ALL kinds, but the ones I see most often include:
Sexual Abuse.
Physical Abuse.
Bullying.
Even Narcissist boss or parent.
(No, you don’t have to only be a child to suffer abuse–or be scarred by it. And one-time can be as bad as or worse than on-going. Ugh. What is WRONG with humans to do stuff to each other? Sigh. I’m sorry, friends. Big virtual hugs to anyone who sees beastly stuff when you close your eyes to sleep. <3
Anyway, back to trauma as a pathway to the demonic, it can “manifest” itself (oops, sorry feminists) as body dysmorphia, depression, gender issues, sexual issues or confusion or even being unable to view that side of one’s life in a “healthy” manner (whether “lust but can’t connect emotionally” all the way to feeling “dirty” even within a safe, stable, and (ostensibly-) long-term relationship (well, the physical part).
This is why many people with depression or identity or body image stuff or sexual/ity-related issues/confusion/trauma WHO SEEK TREATMENT and are truly “good students” about it (like they do the work and really do try to make positive changes) often NEVER seem to shake free of that spirit of heaviness, no matter what.
These demons may cause you to doubt yourself, feel you’re unworthy, and just have something like a constant drain (like those Gatorade keg things with a spigot, pretend it’s left 1/4th open, and with that leak comes the drainage of all that hard work you’re doing. :(
Defiled appetites, sometimes even lost time. An insatiable need or drive or thirst for whatever you seem addicted to (food or naughtiness or affirmation) and once you get it and take a breath, you’re back at one, hating yourself for giving in, but also needing more even if you just swore “never again.”
Other demons make you think you have power, like everything you “thought” or “forecasted” came true, and they’re ok to let you keep thinking that you’re in the driver’s seat. As long as you don’t try to control THEM. The second you rebel, get ready for a bumpy ride, yo (and I know all about this coz I was into the occult in high school, for some reason).
This is actually more disjointed than I’d originally intended (I’m actually working on a book which has a chapter or two on such things), but I’ve had several troubling (or heartening) discussions about these very same things over the past several weeks, and have felt Holy Spirit Prompting me to post this now and not wait for the book chapter edits.
So here we are.
Happy to provide more information about any of these or others (my book list has 49 so far but I’m just getting started, lol).
Apologies if you take offense to something that’s part of your culture; I mean no disrespect, but just because I love you doesn’t mean that cultural thing isn’t harmless. It is harmful to the person who wants to avoid demons. And I’ve had enough warfare in just the past few months to last me 50 thousand lifetimes, just so you understand why I seem to have gone off the rails in this Demon-Slayer thing, lol.
But you know, I’ve also seen more miracles in my life than lots of people have (I’m not talking about nature or sunrise or puppies, I mean God Did stuff that literally should NOT have happened, and could NOT have happened–but for a STRONG and KNOWING Supernatural “Force.” (Remind me to tell you about THE GLASS DOOR IN THE SNOW-STORM one day, or the college and the grad school editions of WHO ON EARTH HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING TO, SALLY??? (Word Of Knowledge, hehe. They could hide it from me but not From My BOY JC (Jesus) <3<3<3 (No, I’m not converting to Pentecostal, don’t worry, lol.)
Ok, then!
God With you ALL and even if you want to diss the trash out of me, please feel free to write with any and all concerns (I’m not going to try and convert you, promise. But I really hate demons because they hate HUMANS! And want to make us DESPAIR! (Too bad for them I’m SUPER-HAPPY, and was even when my K. died in my arms on the floor. And E. not long after. (Make no mistake, I wept for MONTHS and still do now, years later. But The JOY Of The LORD IS MY STRENGTH! And like for serious, friends–when I thought I was severely depressed (yep it was demonic, even though I was saved. But like satanic and saved are like… you know? Lol.), I literally would have done ANYTHING to be free.
And I want you to be free, too.

So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:36)
