My husband is an unbeliever and has many pieces of eastern art and new age garbage. I was told things like that carry an evil spirit or attract demons. It is true that objects can have demons associated with them. Pagan amulets, Rock albums, etc. On the other hand, a Christian happening to be in the company of these kinds of objects should not be possessed by fear.
Objects are mere objects.
A Believer is protected. I've been so confused by the world that I didn't see my error and lack of submission. However, I've found that I've paralyzed my husband's abilities in decision making, responsibilities, etc. The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. This waiting could possibly be in length, somewhat proportionately to the length of time things were 'wrong'.
