The Counterfeit of the Real: A Discussion of the Occult with Matt and Jenn Lozano
Summary
Do recent box office earnings and award ceremonies indicate a growing cultural interest in infernal supernatural forces? Should we be concerned?
Check out this serious and solid episode that defines the occult and offers compelling reasons why people turn to it. The occult involves acts of the will which give an invitation to the spiritual realm. The good news? Within Unbound prayer these can and need to be revoked.
Matt provides examples and tips for praying the Five Keys when someone has a history of occult practices. “It’s a combination of compassion and encouragement,” offers Matt.
Jenn emphasizes the importance of listening to someone’s story and blessing their identity – reminding them that they belong to the family of God. They are searching and longing for something.
Many people in today’s culture are growing up unchurched but still desire a connection to the spiritual world. The occult can bring about what Matt calls the “catechesis of demons.” A person needs to be untied so they can give their “yes” to the Lord.
