How to get my family members to stop practice spiritism?

I have tried and tried to stop my family from taking part in spiritism practices.

i have shown scriptures such as:

galatians 5: 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, and they are fornication, uncleanness, loose conduct, 20 idolatry, practice of spiritism, enmities, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, contentions, divisions, sects, 21 envies, drunken bouts, revelries, and things like these. As to these things I am forewarning YOU, the same way as I did forewarn YOU, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s kingdom.

And Leviticus 19:31 “‘Do not turn yourselves to the spirit mediums, and do not consult professional foretellers of events, so as to become unclean by them. I am Jehovah YOUR God.

but they still would not leave it alone i cannot believe that they cannot see that it's demon practices.

i have even prayed personally for them to be able to see the truth, please help.

    I'm afraid you on your own cannot stop them. This is a decition that every person must take in his own heart.

    (Psalms 14:1) The senseless one has said in his heart: “There is no Jehovah.”

    (Acts 2:37) Now when they heard this they were stabbed to the heart, and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: “Men, brothers, what shall we do?”

    The only thing we can do is pray for them.

    Just pray for them and let God do the work. I understand how you feel because these are dangerous acts, but prayer does help things. God is able to do above and beyond. Just let him do the work, you've done all you can.

    I know that you know about free will. So why interfere in your relatives' free wills? Who says they even want God's kingdom?

    And trust me, if you're talking about "demon practices", or demonolatry as it is technically called, this is far-from-it. I've seen demonolatry in action and that is entirely different. Besides, if Jesus was a direct descendant of king David, that means he is also a direct descendant of king Solomon. And king Solomon practiced demonolatry himself... so, what's good for Jesus' forefather is surely good for the rest of us?

    And obviously God didn't seem to mind, because he gave Jesus to that family. I wouldn't trust my son to anyone who could do him harm...

    Just leave it be.
