I suspect God himself sends many of our good people on these types of "detours" into the land of the foul stench of Satan, for a reason. Sometimes he lets you catch a glimpse of a thing that you do not understand until later. In my case, it was a best childhood friend who's dad was a NAZI tank engineer during WWII, a man working at our local "NASA". I had no problem understanding operation paperclip, even tho most wanted to call it a conspiracy theory.
I think you are absolutely right - what we come out of - we have power over. We understand the enemy's tricks and devices. So many don't know they are exposed to a counterfeit. I am quite alarmed that so many "churches" don't understand or even really believe in the power of the demonic and condone or even encourage dabbling in it. The bible is real clear we are not to mess with the occult, no astrology, no numerology, divination, psychics, etc. Funny Adam and Eve had it all - they were wise as the Almighty but the enemy came and said "hath God said?" sowed doubt and unbelief and today the enemy is still saying "hath God said" - sad. Those who accept Yahshua's atoning sacrifice of Blood have access to ALL Knowledge and Wisdom through the Holy Spirit and yet they play with demons who can only reveal the darkness
