Hocus Pocus is a stand alone sermon from Fusion Christian Church that addresses witchcraft and the occult. This sermon both clarifies biblical teaching and warns about engaging in these spiritual practices.

Are you seeking what God can give you in places God has forbidden?

The bible explicitly condemns and forbids us from engaging in the dark practices of witchcraft, the occult, necromancy, etc. One of the primary motivations for people who seek out these practices is power. Sometimes they want to use that power to help others, sometimes only to help themselves. Whether or not they desire power for selfish gain is irrelevant, because the power itself comes from a dangerous and forbidden source. No matter what reason you might have to go to the occult, the answer is not good enough. God knows better than we do, and he has forbidden it.

You cannot give God first place while giving every other voice equal authority.

God is not one authority among many, he is the ultimate authority. Everything is beneath him, and he knows who submits to his authority and who does not. One of the issues with witchcraft and the occult is that they seek gain through powers that are in rebellion to God. When we seek out these dark practices, we are siding with the rebels and rejecting God's authority. God's light does not coexist with darkness. We cannot pretend to honor God while also engaging in darkness.

Turn only to Jesus for true power and guidance.

Do not be deceived: there is some power in the occult, that is what makes it tempting. However, that power pales in comparison to the power of God. God wants us to recognize that he is the ultimate source of power and truth and guidance. There is nothing else that even comes close. Turn to Jesus Christ, the one true God.
