Scripture: Galatians 5 v 19 - 21: "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings,, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
1 Samuel 15 v 23: "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king."
Many people believe witchcraft to be mumbo jumbo and are unaware of what it really is and does to modern day people in prosperous places. It is so important to our survival as Christians that we need to discover how it may be affecting our lives because it is alive and well even in some churches.
Witchcraft is the control of people or events through any spirit that is not the Holy Spirit. It is a demonic system that invades our souls through books, movies, TV series, music, and religious practices i.e. rituals, astrology, yoga, Roman Catholic Mass.
People who practice witchcraft are witches, wizards, shamans, magicians, magi, Satanists, druids, psychics, spiritualist, sorcerers, cults. Many genres of music are steeped in witchcraft especially heavy metal, death metal, metal fusion, trance, hip hop and rap.
Through certain rhythms, chords, drum beats your guard comes down and your senses get invaded and you are captivated by words. These words can brainwash your mind to say okay to drugs, sex, abuse or violence. The words of some rap songs can destroy your chance of a good life. Gangsters thrive on rap music and the demon forces in the music thrive on destroying their personalities. Look at what's happening to P. Diddy right now! Total exposure of dark practices for a man who once followed Jesus.
The Harry Potter phenomenon, books, movies, wands etc has introduced millions of children to magic and witchcraft. Magic is defined as the use of evil spirits or supernatural forces to control people or events. So where does truth start or end in children who think witchcraft and magic are so cool? These spirits will effectively block their souls from believing in Jesus, the Bible, and Heaven.
In the first book of Samuel, the king, Saul, lost his throne because of witchcraft and idolatry. He lost his life one day after consulting the Witch of Endor because the prophet Samuel had died. He demanded the Witch to channel Samuel so He could consult him on whether he would succeed in the coming war.
To the witch's shock, horror and dismay, the real Samuel appeared and told Saul that he and both his sons would die the next day. Which happened. In many cultures today the ancestors are worshipped and channelled through witches, shamans, oracles or psychic mediums.
What they do not realise is that they never talk to the real person who died but to a familiar spirit which knows intimate details about the departed and about those using seances to talk to them. Glassy glassy or the Ouija board is a big intro into this world. So people are placing their future lives in the hands of evil familiar spirits thinking they are beneficial ancestors.
In the New Testament Paul had an encounter with a sorcerer named Elymas. Acts 13 v 7- 11: "Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand."
Paul knew exactly what he was dealing with! A demonic messenger from Hell that manifested in sorcery in Elymas. This form of witchcraft bewitched people and made them susceptible to suggestions. This was being done to the Deputy and Paul had spiritual discernment from the Holy Ghost to counteract it. He had the power to stop Elymas in his tracks, he sent blindness upon him to teach him a lesson.
There are churches which preach parts of the gospel and do ancestral worship rituals saying Jesus worshipped His Father so it's okay for us to worship our forefathers. Jesus consulted His Father so we can consult spirits too. It's dark and twisted but meets the needs of those bound by spells and trances on movies and music.
Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. People acting in rebellious fashion, rioting, violent protests, striking, destruction of property, fake news, living a lie, are under the influence of evil spirits, which love to incite mobs, gangs, crowds to do despicable things to other humans, buildings, statues and use weapons to cause mayhem.
Rebellion leads to wars. Mass rebellion leads to World Wars with nuclear bombs, biological warfare, utter chaos. All influenced by "mythological" evil spirits. We are in the midst of such a war in the Middle East right now. False worshippers of a false god are opposing the true and living God, the Creator of all things.
It's a spiritual onslaught in which annihilation of the whole world through nuclear holocaust is a possibility. Certainly the agenda is annihilation of the Jews with many former friend of Israel now sympathizing with the terrorists. Bewitching spirits have succeeded and Armageddon is not far off.
2 Peter 3 v 9 - 10: "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."
That's fine for all born again Christians and the evil side will only realise their gross mistake when its too late as the fire they started continues for eternity.
And those who are walking in the power of the Holy Spirit have authority from God to break the strongholds in the mighty name of Jesus.
Unfortunately there are not enough believers who are exercising that authority. We are in the midst of total takeover of our planet by evil spirits working through governments to control our lives through powerhouses like WEF and its agendas. We have adjusted to the new normal which keeps their control being extended. Why are governments following the plans of unelected foreigners we do not trust? We must stand against this type of witchcraft invasion through prayer to bind these demons and cast them back to Hell.
Many Christians are busy sending angels to fight their battles. Unfortunately, that false teaching came from a book of witchcraft! We cannot send angels anywhere. God's angels cannot respond to our prayers, they are His angels and He sends them if that is His best response.
Therefore the only angels who can and do respond are Satan's fallen angels which do the very opposite of the commands given. It is destroying the Church and not helping anyone.
Christians have been told they each have 64000 angels to send . So there are billions of these demonic angels being sent by enthusiastic believers who are causing utter chaos. And they never listen to reason or truth. A few of us have been fighting this never ending battle since the early 1980's.
These Christians are practicing witchcraft in the church and in the name of Jesus. How will they feel when they stand before His Throne and lose their hope of Heaven forever when He says I never knew you. It is my hearts desire to save them from hearing those words.
James 4 v 6 - 8: "But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded."
James gives us very good coping mechanisms to overcome the enemy when he attacks us. Memorize verse 7 and do what it says. When you are tempted by addictions or sinful behaviour submit to God, resist the demonic influence and he will leave. Keep doing it till he never comes back.
So the battleground to defeat Witchcraft is now clear. Rise up warriors and save the souls in jeopardy of eternal fire. Ask Jesus to empower you and show you your part to play. If we all unite with one purpose and seek God's face against domination, manipulation, control and rebellion, we will see a breakthrough.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, there is much more to say but please use this blog to inform and change people to conform to Your Word. Raise up people to fight back against evil witchcraft rather than passively expect others to do it. Lord the darkness is getting closer and its being escalated by misinformed Christians, help us to reach them to turn the tide. In Jesus' name. Amen.
