>Does having a past experience or a family connection with the occult will affect you negatively?
From my personal experience I would say it effects you in ways that many think to be negative. Some things are definitely harder, some easier. I lack a good way to explain it.
I’ll say this much and it may give you an idea.
With no family ties to the occult a person is able to draw close to Christ and become a Christian and strengthen himself and his faith before actually battling dark forces. A person in the occult or with family ties to it immediately finds himself at the battleground having to fight demons with little experience on how, but Christ is with him through the process and victory is, in many ways, more possible and drawing closer to Christ comes quicker than to the one that doesn’t have those family connections to the occult.
The whole thing may seem chaotic but it’s very possible.
When a person like this becomes a Christian they are immediately God’s property, the demonic blitz that follows is just satan panicking and trying to scare his lost property back. You don’t need to fight satan to be free, your already free because of Christ. However, you have to fight satan in order for him to accept his loss, because he’s either in denial or spiteful about it. Such a person that has family ties to the occult is seen as a liability by satan, and once free and at peace, this person who is now a Christian, must watch his/her steps carefully to never sin a serious sin against God. In most cases such a person is always under satan’s watch. If satan can’t beat this person and retreats, then he keeps an eye out just in case this person gets too comfortable and strays outside of God’s protection.
