“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
–Ephesians 6:12
Those who hunger for illegitimate supernatural power–primarily accessing it from demons/evil spirits/devils/familiar spirits–are deceived.
These workers of iniquity often believe that they have achieved a great prize which allows them to exercise control over others, as well as other powers. BUT such as these have NOT managed a great blessing: they have opened up a Pandora’s box of curses.
The warnings against contacting these spirits themselves OR even consulting with those who already have access to such spirits are given throughout the Bible.
“Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.”
–Leviticus 19:31
“And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.”
–Leviticus 20:6
The end times entity called “Babylon the great” in the Bible is cursed BECAUSE it is rife with devils.
“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”
–Revelation 18:2
In Deuteronomy, very specific warnings were given to the children of Israel concerning demons/evil spirits/devils/familiar spirits. These warnings were very specific, naming all of those who accessed such spirits, calling such access an “abomination.”
“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.”
–Deuteronomy 18:10-12

The ENTIRE CHAPTER of Deuteronomy 28 is VERY specific in its warnings of what one who has such dealings can expect.
“But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee”
–Deuteronomy 28:15
Deuteronomy 16-68 continues with the types and severity of curses one can expect if one does not observe the LORD’s commandments–which include staying clear of demonic power and the spirits which have such power.
The penalty for even consulting with someone who accesses demonic power (evil or familiar spirits) can sometimes be death, as the first king of Israel, Saul, found out.
“So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;” And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.”
–1Chronicles 10:31-14
WHY would anyone believe that such spirits and the power they have is a blessing?
One huge reason is that all who access illegitimate supernatural power are deceived. Because one most usually has to jump through so many hoops to access such power, one easily believes to have accomplished a great achievement.
Demons and demonic power/possession are a judgment from God.
And such a delicious judgement!
At any time, the person with the demonic power can walk away from it, repent and start repairing his life. But because such men are so deceived, they cling to their curses.
BUT the vast majority will not change, mistakenly believing they are blessed instead of cursed.
DOES the reader believe in the tales of supernatural illegitimate power (spells, hexes, enchantments, as well as others)?
DOES the reader believe these displays of supernatural power to benefit himself?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
