From Psychic Medium to Follower of Jesus: The Love That Broke the Occult’s Grip
Jessica Murray once earned her living as a psychic medium. Clients paid her to contact the dead, read tarot, and open spiritual doors she believed were helpful. The deeper she went into black magic and the occult, the darker her own life became.
Then Jesus found her.
In a testimony published this week, Murray describes how the practices she once thought empowered her instead left her exhausted, fearful, and increasingly oppressed. What began as curiosity and a desire to help people became a weight she could no longer carry. The spiritual realm she had entered was not neutral. It was not light. And it was not free.


One night the true Light walked into the room.
Murray did not go looking for church or a Christian counsellor first. She encountered the living Jesus. The presence she met was different from every spirit she had summoned. This One did not demand performance, payment, or endless rituals. He simply was — and His love was stronger than the darkness she had spent years entertaining.
The decision that followed was costly. She shut down her psychic business. She deleted platforms and content. Like the new believers in Acts 19 who publicly burned their occult scrolls, Murray turned away from the old life completely. What she lost in income and identity she gained in freedom.


Why This Story Matters Now
As Halloween approaches and interest in the occult rises again in popular culture, Murray’s testimony cuts through the glamour. She speaks from the inside. She knows the emptiness that sits behind the candles, the cards, and the promises of hidden knowledge. She also knows the power of the name of Jesus to break those chains.
Her story is not rare. Across the world, people who once practised witchcraft, mediumship, or New Age spirituality are finding that the same Jesus who set the demoniac free in the Gospels is still setting people free today. Some come through dreams. Some through crises. Some, like Murray, through a direct and undeniable encounter.


The profound truth at the centre of her journey is simple:
No darkness is deeper than the love of Christ.
No chain is stronger than His cross.
No past is beyond the reach of His mercy.
Jessica Murray once spoke for the dead.
Now she speaks for the living Saviour who rescued her.
And her message to anyone still trapped in the same darkness is clear:
He can rescue you too.
