Occult: Pertaining to the supernatural, that which is beyond the range of natural knowledge
Occult: From the Latin occultus, meaning secret, hidden, or esoteric knowledge and practices. It is comprised of three basic categories -- divination, magic or sorcery, and spiritism.
Though there are many theories today as to how or why it works, according to God it originates from, and constitutes interaction with, demonic spirits. Hence, it is expressly condemned in the Bible.
The only way of deliverance from occult activity is through the Lord Jesus Christ. He came to break the bondage of sin, including the sin of occult practices. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, we can have forgiveness of sin and a relationship with the living God. He alone can break the bondage of the occult.
God stands unalterably opposed to the occult. He has condemned it in His Word and will eventually judge its practitioners. It is an abomination to the Lord.
