Demons use the fear of an individual to manipulate that individual. The object holds no power in and of itself, it is a prop. It is assigned value or significance by the misinformed and superstitious. If you have Christ's Spirit and you acknowledge the sovereignty of God over all things then you have nothing to fear from curses, charms, amulets, pictures, invocations.
1 John 4:13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. 18There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 19 We love because he first loved us.
The love is of course his sovereign and electing love of the Father, through the Son, by the administration of the Spirit. Nothing can separate us from this love for it's not based in anything outside of God.
Demons have the power to deceive and from a basis of deception they can raise all kinds of havoc. But if the truth of God's sovereignty is firmly established in the believer than the demon has no 'foot hold' to stand in.
Fear God more than anything else and you will fear nothing.
I pray for you regularly dear one.
