That would be a drug problem, possibly demonically motivated, but not a witchcraft problem.

Heh. They want to look smart... "pharmakeia" is used for "sorcery" in the book of Revelation.

Hello houston.

Perhaps I can help here.
I will be addressing some of the other issues that were brought up along
the way as well.

The best way for you to know if you are a victim of baneful magik is for God
to show that to you. As a general rule, witches in the western world tend
to leave christians alone for various reasons, including it not being worth the
trouble to get something to work on them. As with other attacks of the enemy,
magik won't work on a believer unless our Lord allows it, and that didn't ever
seem to be the normative case when I was a practitioner of those arts.

Sometimes, though, there can be a stirring up of the demonic forces that is
downright oppressive to the christians in the area, even if they are not
the actual target.
Best advice is to pray and praise our Lord for His goodness and mercy.

Mark

while that is true, I hold that where the Bible says sorcery, that is indeed what
it means..

Re: witchcraft

Have you hand any spiritual manifestations or oppression in your family or home? These can include:
Objects moving by themselves
Strange noises
Apparitions
Appliances turning on and/or off on their own
Hearing voices
Unexplainable sickness that comes and goes quickly
Sleep walking into dangerous situations
Nightmares
Feelings of dread, depression, or uneasiness that are out of character
Temptations towards deep perversion that are out of character
Thoughts of murder or suicide
Demonic possession
Of course the list above isn't comprehensive. Nor are these things on the list sure indicators of witchcraft. Ultimately only God can reveal if one is under the enfluence of witchcraft. But if any of the above are present the are fairly decent indicators that one is under spiritual attack from witchcraft or demonic forces.

LOL

Hey bro. I know it sounds funny. But if it happens to you, you will feel like your dreaming and want to wake up... only to realize... you are awake. It's not pleasant. You'll be saying to yourself, "Did I really hear that?" And it will happen again. Or you'll be saying, "Did I REALLY see that???" And it will happen again. It's really no joke if it happens to you. You also fear for your loved ones because these forces will do all that they can to bring death or ruin to peoples lives.

Sorry, that one single line I bolded made me think of the infamous Ghostbusters commercial.

And I actually do have a fascination with the supernatural/aka, the afterlife, insomuch as I wonder about the nature and physics behind it. I am convinced that there can be spirits (NOT souls) which continue to "haunt" locations after a persons death, although their exact nature is a mystery.

As far as witchcraft goes and "curses", I have much harder time believing in certain parts of it. In other words I do NOT believe I will suddenly drop a bowling ball on my feet because someone somewhere placed a curse on me. Now I MAY drop a bowling ball but it would be from my own clumsiness and not from someone making a witches potion using some of my hair that they stole from a hairbrush.
