You just gave the answer to your problem; your family is Christian yet you are messing with "witchcraft." You subconsciously realize that you are treading on forbidden territory.
...Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
And He shall be for a Sanctuary; but for a Stone of stumbling and for a Rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
Bind up the Testimony, seal the law among My disciples.
And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth His face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for Him.
Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
To the law and to the Testimony ( The Word of God): if they speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no Light in them.
And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness. iS.8:13-22
God is a jealous God, and the Way that He has predetermined must not be turned from. A missionary named Lester Sumrall was teaching oriental people a few miles from the Chinese border during the reign of Mao Zedong in Hong Kong. As he went to the border and looked across, he realized that if he crossed that line into communist territory he would no longer have the protection of the British army.
So likewise when a Christian turns from the territory of the Spirit of God to the domain of darkness.
Nevertheless, if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrightessness.
That's why noone else in your household is being afflicted, they can't touch them because they have not crossed their bounds. And that is also why you had no authority in the Name of Christ.
Of all the occult philosophers that wrote of the grimoires, or, books of black magic, there is but one who spoke with the greatest degree of clarity and knowledge: Theophrastus Bombastus Paracelsus. Paracelsus was a man of humble beginnings. Though some have stated that they believed him to have been castrated by a drunken soldier in his youth, and others an effeminate ( as many "theologians" today claim that the Apostle Paul was a suppressed homosexual), but by the knowledge he revealed I do not believe him to have been either. Indeed, that which was found as his only literary possession upon his death amongst his possessions, a Bible, a concordance, and a commentary, leads me to believe that he made a deal with God to forsake all in exchange for the 100 fold promised by Christ. Most of his life was spent in wayward travels where he shared the Gospel, practiced medicine, and performed some miraculous healings such as those that were afflicted with elephantitis. It was also said that he was able to heal the wounds of those distant with an article that belonged to them as Paul sent out his handkerchiefs to heal the diseased and devil possessed.
Like Martin Luther, he was quite unpopular with the Roman Catholic Church which he deemed as being anti-Christ and the false prophet. He was also quite unpopular with the medical profession whose outdated practices that yet included bloodletting for blasting them so bombastically that his middle name became synonomous with a loud and boisterous personality. Many, however, claim that he could not have been a Christian because he was in the habit of drinking and then starting arguments over religion and politics; a thorn in his flesh that was his ultimate undoing as he was beaten to death during one of his such antics.
Of witchcraft however, he was an absolute enemy, and even recommended spiritually knowledgable and capable men be appointed to break such sorceries by local governments. He in no way, shape, nor form denied the reality thereof and declared the only defence thereto to be FAITH. For indeed, by an illuminated imagination was it formed, by the will was it sent, and by faith was it activated. Afterwards, strict silence must be maintained lest the spell be broken.
According to Paracelsus, man was made in the Image of God. And, as such, he possessed powers to affect the natural realm in manners that the beasts do not possess. One of these attributes was the "will." By the will of man many miraculous things can be done when combined with faith. Verily there is a spirit world, wherein which when projected, our thoughts become as loud to the denizens thereof as a loudspeaker to a crowd here in this material realm. Though some may find this incredulous, it is actually possible via your own imagination to create an elemental being that will hearken unto your will, and via faith enforced go forth to harass or even kill another man. The Scriptural references to this may be seen in Christ's statements, He that looketh after a woman to commit adultery with her has already committed adultery with her in his heart..., and in 1 John, ...he that hateth his brother is a murderer. As a sniper's bullet is the extension of his will, so the will of murder can bring about a death; and the person who possessed such hate to send it forth shall give an account of that murder upon the Day of the White Throne Judgement, the devil itself that was sent testifying thereto.
Although most practicioners of such arts use such things as the " magic circle", the "triangle of Solomon", the pentagram, the Seal of Solomon, and a vast collection of various signs, symbols, and apparel; the such likes are a vast sea of deluding vanity leading to an evil karma that shall not rest until the uttermost mite is paid. Wherefore? To better understand why, let us take a look at the purposed meaning behind each :
1- The magic circle is inscribed upon the ground for a place wherein which for the artisan to stand. Inscribed along the inside edges of the circle are the names of God. By so doing, the circle representing creation as a whole, with the Names of God surrounding the inside, the praticioner then steps inside proclaiming himself to be God and Lord of the spirits of the elements and the devils themselves who must obey his commands.
2- The triangle of Solomon is drawn outside the circle with the pointed end facing away symbolizing the realm of the spirit. In it the spirit evoked is to appear. Within the triangle the symbol of the spirit is placed with fumigations and/or fresh blood. The smoke from the fumigations provide the spirit with an ability to provide a visual presence while the fresh blood is a treat to the spirits who lap up the "mumia"
( or, vital essence contained therein) ...For the life of the flesh is in the blood Lev.17:11. (It apparently provides a form of satiation for the spirits that are damned to the "dry" place.)
3- According to the grimoires of black magic each devil has its own symbol and may be summoned thereby. However, we shall come back to the reliability of these symbols in a moment.
4- There are various articles of clothing and garnishments meant to symbolize spiritual power over the spirits. For instance a garment of priesthood, a sword of spiritual power, an ornament for the head representing Lordship over the elements, etc...,
Howbeit, think thou not that the spirits are deceived by great pomp in dress. Nor be so deceived as to believe that an oration of certain words will have any effect either. As it is written,
...Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them evil spirits the Name of the Lord Jesus, saying, we adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, that did so.
And the evil spirit answered, and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped upon them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. Acts 19:13-16
And here is found the prophesy of Paracelsus for the such like that practice such things, saying,
"...But the spirits are not subdued by such conjurations, nor can they be forced to speak the Truth; then comes that day when they say, 'Thou hast not drawn thy circle as thy ought, or, thou hast not chastised thyself enough, or, thy pantacles ( or, symbols) are false, or, thou hast not drawn thy circle properly...', and they leave some eminent mark upon them, or maim them, or quite break their neck: whereby which they become their executioners... I say therefore that all conjurations are against God and His Word, the Divine Law, and the Law of Nature...And what grievous plagues shall come to them at the last, and what fearful and horrible accusations shall they hear the devil make against them before the wrath of God? If afterward it were lawful for them to signify unto such men, their misery which they endure, they who do such things, many thousands of them would be brought to repentence..."
With that, I pull out of this, for noone can help but yourself.
