Compelled to employ symbols. In the world of the occult (i will say i have some slight familiarity with it) is the use of symbols, coded words, alert to portents... all of these AND MORE reflecting back to one the "weather" going on in one's environment, in communications, as well as in practice. IMHO, one had to be so very aware of these things, for in that world it often is a matter of power and survival, if i may say so, of the fittest, or at least have some baseline capability/capacity to work in that realm. Imagine literally dark to light, when surrendering to Christ Jesus. One needs not have to "ward off" spells nor entities, nor does one have to carry anything in one's hand, nor any ritual required and correct phraseology. There is much freedom when one does not have to have all of the trappings. One is entirely free in Christ Jesus. One is covered by the most potent substance on Heaven or Earth. His Blood. This protects from all of the things that one formerly needed "protection" from. Heh, could walk through a crowd of "practitioners" and they cannot touch thee, they would have to physically lay hands upon you. The Blood disarms and overpowers. I do not say this lightly. Never to be taken for granted. Thank You, Jesus. Only One Drop will do it. No fear. God wins. ALL of that WILL be [their] downfall. And oh how heavy will be the crash of it. In Jesus' Name.
