Question: Hi Father I have done some things that I believe hold my blessings against The Lord. They are 1) reading horoscopes 2) two times I play with Oracle cards ( I think they are pretty much Tarot cards but with a different name) 3) I don't what it is called but I think it's called I Ching. It's some Chinese fortune telling by having coins in your hands and you shake them in your hand and you let them go. And if they land on heads or tails you add them up as numbers. And that number will take to the page of the book what's happening in your currently life. 4) I don't know of this is a sin too. But reading online ghost stories and Ouija board stories . I use to watch ghost hunting shows. But I don't anymore. 5) I once spoke to this young lady who claim to connect with my ancestry. And one more question. I have OCD and I take medicine for it. Just asking is having anxiety or mental illness in the family is from demons? I have OCD since I was kid. My father has some thing but he never sorted it out. AnTo set your His father was in jail in war world 2 and after the war he suffer from something. Anxiety and bad stomach problems. In which my dad has and so do I. So what pray do I need to say to set me free? Have a good day or night God bless Alexandra
