"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." ~Philippians 4:13

You are a beautiful daughter of the Most High, and He loves you with an everlasting love. Accept no substitutions!!

Personally, I find it helpful to read the Psalms, 145 is one of my favorites.

Whenever you think of or see or hear something that reminds you of Wicca, replace your thoughts of Wicca with these words of God: POWER and GRACE.

If anyone is in Christ, he (or she!) is a new creation. The old is gone, the new has come!!
You are a new creation in Christ, the LORD will never abandon you!

I will pray fervently for your relationship with the LORD of love to flourish.

when you are flooded with those memories, yes, you need to know that certain things are evil and need to be recognized as so. HOWEVER, you also need to realize that when those thoughts flood your mind like that, it is satan trying to discourage you and through you off track of keeping your mind on God. you can't let him get away with it. he cannot win unless you let him...

believe in God with all your heart, with all your soul and strength, and have faith that He will help bring you through this. . .

i'll be praying for you...

“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to have you, to sift you like wheat” (Luke 22:31)

“Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live,” (Exodus 22:18).

“When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable way of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord, and because of these detestable practices the Lord your God will drive those nations before you. You must be blameless before the Lord your God.The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the Lord has not permitted you to do so” (Deuteronomy 18:9-14).

“He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, followed the detestable practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites” (2 Chronicles 33:2).

“He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced sorcery, divination and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, provoking him to anger” (2 Chronicles 33:6).

“For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king” (1 Samuel 23).

(Isaiah 2:6). “Crawl into the caves in the rocks and hide in terror from his glorious majesty, for the day is coming when your proud looks will be brought low; the Lord alone will be exalted. On that day the Lord of Hosts will move against the proud and haughty and bring them to dust… All the glory of mankind will bow low; the pride of men will like in the dust, and the Lord alone will be exalted. And all idols will be utterly abolished and destroyed” (Isaiah 2:10-18).

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:19-21

“Temptations to sin are sure to come; but woe to him by whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung round his neck and he were cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin” (Luke 17:1-2).

Acts 19:19, “And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of all; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.”

(“Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name” Luke 10:17).

Michael Sherif practiced mantra yoga (meditated silently on a supposedly "meaningless" sound which was really the vehicle that drew him into a "Hindu" deity or really a demon from our Christian perspective). He was in bondage to this, in combination with hatha yoga for six years. According to his testimony this was a horrible experience for him. Yoga involvement is really an exercise in a demonic activity which is portrayed as "fun" and "healthy" that can lead to demonic possession. He experienced different states of sensory consciousness which were dark and sterile until Jesus set him free. Since then he has written many articles exposing the works of darkness and New Age philosophies. You may read them at his website: www.earthharvest.org

Praise God, that you are trying to rid this Wiccan out of your life, and trying to serve God, Hallelujah!
We all are tempted to fall on our weaknesses, but if we just keep on trying, we can persevere and succeed, but you need God's help also. Look to God for everything, and He'll be there, He's with you everyday!
I'll pray for you!

s'hard isn't it - but you gotta remember that any power you had back in those days is well exceeded by the power of God who can do more than you can ask or imagine. Also by keeping your eyes fixed on him he can be building you up and giving you the strength to get thru each trial and each day. I don't know how deep you were involved and whether any of the other members you used to meet with are tracking you and trying to get you to rejoin but remember the blood of Jesus protects you and they can do nothing to harm you spell wise etc... Just pray the blood of Christ and his protectoin over yourself. Speak Jesus name to them too - it will freak them out or at least make them stop in there tracks giving you an extra minute or two in a face to face situation. I'm here for you if you need to chat - just pm.
