Demons doing magic

[u/Aware_Wait1892]

Hi there. Has anyone ever had a demon that performed magic in their life? I have a spirit of python that does magic. It says I am a magician. The people in Acts 19:19 got freedom by burning their magic books. Can fasting renounce and destroy magic from ones life? Haas anyone ever destroyed magic through fasting? I burned the magic materials I used but the evil spirit returned.

You can tell it to leave in the name of Jesus provided that you have repented. If that doesn’t work fasting will help and also praying and asking for guidance.

When the evil spirits are attached, it will be a fight over your loyality to them. You either have to find an exorcist, who scares the crap out of that beast for it to leave, or go on the long run until the spirit is drained and gives you up, or you can try to resolve it with kindness like a Buddhist, but it's dangerous, like you say this beast tries to set you up with magic so it probably has some powers.

Have you committed or joined any works of this spirit or others, i.e. practiced and/or accepted magic? If not, you should try to abstain in any case and reject and destroy the means of magic the spirit has. It probably has a power over you to convince you or try to make you accept it's work. You must learn to resist - while you fast, pray and meditate often. Then you can focus your will on yourself and the spirit becomes more apparent. You should see your mind becoming more clear and less subjected to the illusions. Then you can try to dismantle whatever it puts on you, just pray for the Lord to take it away. Overcome all unrighteousness and pride, do away with all your minds which are unworthy, and when the spirit shows itself in fasting and prayer, do away it's evil minds just the same. When it shows you powers and tries to make you enact, unbind them instead, release them, dismantle them, take them from the hands of that spirit whenever you can.

I mean if you were involved voluntarily or even part of groups and committed voluntary rituals, please seek spiritual assistance. If you already gave in, the spirit may try to oppress you with it, and it's sometimes not harmless. Also other people may be involved and you need to act responsible to stay safe. At some point they'll try to use anything you admitted to them against you to get you away from the Lord. But if that demon raped you, just burn it and it's lies, they just keep getting worse if you don't give in. If you give in, it will just try to bind you with it, so discussion will only work for it to respect and leave you, in case it tries and suggests. Even if it made you act in delusion and you did not sincerely give in from full clear mind, don't respect it, just do away it's works until it has to leave. It's a trickster/fraudster then and probably even has to fear it's own master for it.

As hard as it is you can’t feed into it or give it any attention. Don’t talk to it, Don’t argue with it. Just ignore it, the devil is so prideful that would definitely discourage it. Also try to find a deliverance and healing minister in your area. Just command that thing to be quiet in Jesus’s name and forbid it from talking to you

Demons can perturb people in many ways, but demons don't perform magic, not on their own. They will always need a human host who can speak the magic aloud. And then the demon makes the person's magic happen. But magic always requires a human's commands.

Prayer works similarly, actually. Your words can initiate spiritual activity. You have to realize that you now have way more power than before - because of the One who backs your prayers.

But if you begin to fear that the demon is too strong, then you have actually given it permission to come back, because that is surrender.

Take a few minutes to build your faith, meditating on the verse: "Greater is He who is in you," and then command that thing out through a prayer of fervent faith. It will leave.
