‘Witchcraft Killed My Dad’: Ex-Witch’s Horrific Journey Out of Terror to Christ

Julie Lopez says she was walking in “darkness” until her father’s horrific suicide sent her and her family on a path that snapped them out of generations of witchcraft and into a relationship with Jesus. “I basically come from five generations of [witchcraft],” she recently told CBN’s Faithwire. “I think it actually goes [father back], but … it ends in me. I cut that generational course.” Lopez, who is now a Christian working to help others discover the Lord’s voice, explained what practicing witchcraft looked like for her and her family. “Witchcraft is, basically, when you are controlling and manipulating people … through rituals and through things,” she said, noting that there are different types of witchcraft. While some believe they are practicing “white magic” — a supposedly “good” practice — she said there’s no such thing as safe or appropriate magic. This white magic takes the form of healing rituals and other such practices. The opposite, which is black magic, looks quite different. Lopez also shared her own harrowing journey out of the occult, and why she now clings to Christ.
