Brother, I would strongly advise that you skip this thing entirely. I was involved in the occult before I was saved, and I know these people. If you go to one of their events, you're dealing with them on their own turf, and, even worse, you're dealing with them as a group. I'm not downplaying the wonderful power of Christ, but this is not the way to do it.

The way to deal with occult people is individually. You need to get such a person away from his friends, where it's one on one (or two on one; taking a brother with you is even better), and his friends aren't backing him up. In such situations, the deck is stacked against you - - - no pun intended.

When you deal with them as a group, the unclean spirits are more powerful than at any other time. It's like dealing with drunks: when they're all together and having a good time, reveling in their sin, they're much less likely to listen. You need to get them alone, where the Spirit can work on them individually and intimately, and they won't have their "support group."

I'm not trying to discourage you in your witness, but I'm warning you: this is a dangerous situation, and only the most mature believers could handle it. I've been saved for 39 years, and even I wouldn't go to this sort of thing.

There's a reason your friend was "cast down" by the end of the night. He was probably just overwhelmed by the unclean spirits. Do you think it's God's will to put yourself in such a position?

Please, brother, skip it. Deal with them one on one. This isn't like passing out tracts at a beach or a rock concert; this is invading the Enemy's home territory in a way that is, I think, unscriptural. Paul dealt with the "intellectuals" as a group, in Acts 17; but when he or Peter dealt with occult or possessed people, it was always individually.

If you go, you will be opening yourself up for horrible Satanic oppression, if not outright possession. Please pray about this.

As I say, I speak from experience.
