CHRISTIAN

WITCHCRAFT

e all have some sense of what

Wwitchcraft is. Some equate

witchcraft with Halloween, Jack-o’-lanterns,

caped women atop broom sticks, Wicca, or

even Dorothy’s Wizard of OZ archenemy.

The bestselling books and movies

chronicling the adventures of Harry Potter

continue to sanction witchcraft in our

society through casting spells and mixing

potions, while presenting a great saga

between good and evil witches.

5

And, of course, who could forget the

ever so popular video game Dungeons and

Dragons, the fantasy role playing game

where players engage dark forces with their

magical powers.

Even though witchcraft is often

portrayed as innocent, it is strictly forbidden

in the Word of God (Deuteronomy 18:9-14,

Leviticus 19:31, 20:6; Isaiah 8:19).

Regardless of what some think,

witchcraft opens the door to demonic forces.

Package them in the latest fashion or

present them on Hollywood’s silver screen,

but there are no such things as good

demonic powers. Jesus said,

The thief cometh not, but for to steal,

and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that

they might have life, and that they might

have it more abundantly. (John 10:10).

It would be best for all to take heed to

6

His Word.

Witchcraft is a bona fide demonic power

released through various activities such as

words, spells, amulets, charms, occult

powers, chants, magic, drugs, potions, or

directive prophecies. It's far more than

meeting in a forest to worship Mother Earth

and hugging pine trees. Witchcraft is a

power that influences people, gives a place

to demon activity, battles against the minds

of men, challenges the Church of Jesus

Christ, buffets the maturity of believers,

hinders church growth, comes against

families, marriages and relationships, and

frustrates the advancement of the Gospel of

Jesus Christ.

Witchcraft, however, is more common

that one would think. I want to break away

from the traditional look at witchcraft and

explore some other manifestations of this

7

evil force. I know a true born again believer

would never cast a spell or drink a potion,

but could there be other forms of witchcraft

mentioned in the Bible? Can a Christian

operate in witchcraft? Let’s take a look at

witchcraft operations from a different

perspective, through the old fallen nature—

the flesh.

Bewitched, Spirit and Flesh

Christian witchcraft can be released

through the rebellious and the stubborn,

both actions described in the Word of God

as workings of the flesh. Scripture says,

O foolish Galatians, who hath

bewitched you, that ye should not obey the

truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath

been evidently set forth, crucified among

you? This only would I learn of you,

Received ye the Spirit by the works of the

law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so

8

foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye

now made perfect by the flesh? (Galatians

3:1-3).

Notice the words bewitched, spirit and

flesh. The word bewitched, Greek baskaino,

means to be charmed, seduced, or to be

placed under a spell. In the Old English

language bewitched comes from the word

biwiccian, meaning the working or the

result of Wicca sorcery. The writer of

Galatians ties witchcraft to the manifesting

or workings of the flesh. The meaning of

flesh in this scripture is the Greek word

sarx, meaning the carnal mind, or better

described as the earthly nature of man apart

from the Spirit of God. A person, therefore,

who is “governed” by the actions of the flesh

(sarx), can release witchcraft upon himself

or others. No, he or she doesn’t become a

Wiccan recruit, but, nevertheless, like the

Galatians, enters into a foolish and illusory

9

area of life.

The works of the flesh, temper

tantrums, bad attitudes, negative body

language, stubbornness, and negative

words and confessions are all workings

of witchcraft. I told you this would be a

different viewpoint on witchcraft.

That Old Sarx

Have you ever been around a person

whose negative body language, tone of

voice, stubbornness, or contentious attitude

made you feel like you were walking on

eggshells around them? Or his or her actions

made you feel like he or she would lash out

at you at any moment? Did you get a sick

feeling in the pit of your stomach? Could

that feeling be the result of a subtle form of

witchcraft emanating from the flesh (sarx)!

Even though nothing much was said, did

10

you still feel some sort of force emanating

from the person? Did you understand the

nonverbal message? That subtle force from

the flesh (sarx) is a form of witchcraft. The

writer who corrected the foolish Galatians,

the Apostle Paul didn’t stop there to make

this plain to us. He said,

Now the works of the flesh (sarx) are

manifest, which are these; adultery,

fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness

(unbridled lust), idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,

variance (contention), emulations (jealous

rivalry), wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings

(evil carousing), 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.

(Galatians 5:19-21).

Here Paul directly connects the works of

the flesh with witchcraft, concluding that

those who do (intentionally practice) such

11

things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

The works of the flesh, temper

tantrums, bad attitudes, negative body

language, stubbornness, and negative words

and confessions are all workings of

witchcraft. I told you this would be a

different viewpoint on witchcraft. Now you

can see why there is so much written in the

Word of God about the tongue (Proverbs

18:21, James 3:6). We’ll discuss this more

later.

Religious Witchcraft

When religious activity is not spiritually

motivated but carnally motivated it releases

a form of witchcraft, too. Motivation is

everything because its source is the heart of

man.

Religion also releases witchcraft when it

12

intentionally avoids the ministry of the

Holy Spirit. Scripture says,

Having a form of godliness but denying

the power (dunamis) thereof: from such turn

away. (2 Timothy 3:5).

This is a powerful instruction to

Timothy from the Apostle Paul. The word

form, Greek morphosis, means to have

merely a shape or to look like the real thing.

This religious counterfeit can be identified

because it looks like the Church, yet is

carnally motivated and disregards the

necessity of the dunamis power of God. That

dunamis power is the ministry of the Holy

Spirit Himself. Paul's final instruction is to

turn away from such.

13

Religion releases witchcraft when it

is governed by the flesh. The elements

of religion are a lack of spiritual

sensitivity, legalism and debate,

hypocrisy, self righteousness, and a

form of godliness that denies the

ministry of the Holy Spirit.

There are many religious people in the

world who say they are born again yet

attack the ministry of the Holy Spirit. They

challenge the baptism of the Holy Spirit,

miracles, and healing today, speaking in

other tongues, prophecy, deliverance,

fervent prayer, the nine gifts of the Holy

Spirit, and much more. Rather than have

Holy Spirit administered lives, ministries,

and churches, they hold fast to man-made

programs, vain traditions, and secular social

activities.

Religion releases witchcraft when it is

14

governed by the flesh (sarx) rather than the

Spirit of God. It was religious people,

supposedly born again, that persistently

stirred up trouble for the Apostle Paul. They

couldn’t accept his teaching that it was

possible to be born again without

circumcision (Acts 15).

The elements of religion are a lack of

spiritual sensitivity, legalism and debate,

hypocrisy, self righteousness, and a form of

godliness that denies the ministry of the

Holy Spirit. Just get around a person who

has that nasty, contentious religious spirit

and you will experience the working of

witchcraft from religion. If you want to

know more about discerning religious spirits

check out my book 30 Pieces of Silver.

Witchcraft in the Church

Now lets examine how witchcraft works

15

in other areas of life and ministry.

Witchcraft often deceives people that

have a tendency to judge what God is doing

by comparing the number of people that

attend one church with the number of

people that attend another church. Just

because a church has a large membership

does not necessarily mean that the Spirit of

God is blessing it. Some ministers think that

the size of their church represents God’s

approval on their ministry—not true. That

church might just have great programs, or,

perhaps, requires no commitment from the

people, or the pastor or church deacon

board might just be great controllers.

You can avoid attending a church that is

deceived by witchcraft if you understand

how to recognize one. You will find that

their leaders are controlling, prideful and

will quench the Spirit.

16

When a leader continues to quench the

moving of the Holy Spirit, that is a signal of

trouble. Quenching the Holy Spirit is a

direct violation of Scripture.

Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not

treat prophecies with contempt. Test

everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid

every kind of evil. (1 Thessalonians 5:19-22

NIV).

Leaders that are afraid to allow the Holy

Spirit to flow freely in the church are

controlling churches around the world.

Then there are other leaders that think

they, and no one else, can hear from God.

These are spiritual controllers who are full

of pride. The reality is, as soon as you think

that you are the only one who can hear

from God, or “have the truth,” you are in

trouble and great danger.

I feel for the innocent believer

17

submitted under a controlling leader that

will not let God be God in His own church.

Many times these same controlling leaders

say, “We must maintain order in this church

by using any means.” I believe in order, too,

but not in control of the Holy Spirit by

carnal and insensitive leaders. I have seen

entire churches fast and pray for a move of

God’s Spirit and, when He shows up, some

religious spirit gets angry about it. It’s time

for this type of behavior to stop. God will

not dwell long in a controlling religious

church. Control is a form of witchcraft. The

Apostle Paul wrote,

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where

the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. (2

Corinthians 3:17 KJV).

Fear of Man

Fear of man and public opinion is a sure

18

sign of being infected by witchcraft,

especially in Christian circles.

Witchcraft likes to be in control of

every situation. If you will not worship God

in a particular way based on who is at

church with you, then look out, you are

infected by the fear of man. Scripture

teaches us that being a man-pleaser

disqualifies one as a servant of Christ. We

must reverence God, not man.

For do I now persuade men, or God? Or

do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased

men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

(Galatians 1:10).

The fear of man affects many people.

Some pastors will not preach a particular

way, sing a certain song, or even have an

altar call to lay hands on people and pray if

they know that some district official (or

someone who could advance their political

19

agenda) may be visiting. Peter and John had

the right attitude when they answered the

charges of religious officials.

But Peter and John answered and said

unto them, whether it be right in the sight

of God to hearken unto you more than unto

God, judge ye. (Acts 4:19).

Many times controlling preachers will

get angry if their sheep visit other churches,

even when they have no service that night.

It’s quite all right for a pastor to be

protective, but not controlling.

I don’t want anyone to think that I am

picking on pastors—I am not. Christian

witchcraft is not limited to pastoral

leadership by any means. Pastors, for the

most part, are God-loving men who have

laid down their lives for their sheep and

deserve our greatest respect.

20

Hidden Agendas

Hidden agendas are indications of

witchcraft at work. Congregations are

sometimes full of people with hidden

agendas. Their purpose is to advance up

some sort of imaginary religious ladder.

Each rung seems to give them a sense of

value. Holding to a hidden agenda is the

root to division within a local church.

Whenever someone tries to manipulate

another for the purpose of advancing a

selfish agenda that is witchcraft. Those who

operate in witchcraft like to hang around a

churches’ existing leadership waiting for

their “gifting” to be recognized. They look

for the opportunity to seize upon any open

positions of authority. (Carrying out a

hidden agenda is the operation of rebellion.)

Scripture directly connects witchcraft with

21

rebellion.

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. (l Samuel 15:23).

Those operating in Christian witchcraft

gain their strength and sense of security by

controlling others. Without you, they feel

helpless and, many times, will go into deep

depression. For the most part, those under

the influence of witchcraft will not reach

the leadership of an organization because

the leadership will quickly lose respect for

them as they recognize their self-

centeredness.

The religious spirit and the witchcraft

spirit are close cousins. A religious spirit will

not let you advance or grow in the Lord. It

will keep you bound in religious tradition

22

and works, not freedom in the Spirit.

An Unbridled Tongue

The Word of God calls the unbridled

tongue an evil set on fire of hell and the

person who has it is deceived.

If any man among you seem to be

religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but

deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion

is vain. (James 1:26).

If you think you’re not deceived, yet

you are speaking hurtful things about

yourself and others, then you're in

deception already. The Word warns how

dangerous an unbridled tongue can be.

Even so the tongue is a little member,

and boasteth great things. Behold, how great

a matter a little fire kindleth! And the

tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the

tongue among our members, that it defileth

23

the whole body, and setteth on fire the

course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

(James 3:5-6).

As you wrongly speak negative things

over people, your words affects them

spiritually. You must realize that you, as a

believer have spiritual authority and that

your words have power to release life or

death. The Scripture says,

Death and life are in the power of the

tongue: and they that love it shall eat the

fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18:21).

Your words should bring blessings on

others, not curses. Examine yourself and

take hold of your tongue. If you are a

parent, decide today to only speak blessings

on your children, even when you are

correcting them. If you are a teacher,

determine to encourage your students and

speak to their potential, especially when

24

they fail. If you are married, bless your

spouse with words of life everyday. It will

fill your marriage with joy and blessings. No

matter where you walk as a Christian, don’t

allow witchcraft to use you to hurt others or

hinder the work of God.

Christian witchcraft emanates from our

flesh (sarx), it is an enemy far greater that

any Dorothy faced as she traveled the

yellow brick road in search of the Wizard of

Oz. The good news is that we can, through

our love for Jesus Christ, crucify that old

carnal nature. Scripture instructs us to take

off our old corrupted manner of living and

put on the new man, which is created in

righteousness and true holiness in God's

likeness (Ephesians 4:22-24). So the next

time you experience the powers of

witchcraft it may not be coming from some

occult mystic, but from the Wizard of Sarx

25

—the flesh.

Let's Pray...

Lord, in the Name of Jesus, I first of all

repent for allowing witchcraft: spirits to

operate through me. Lord Jesus, please

forgive me for hurting others through my

words and attitude. Today, I choose to walk

in the love of Christ and I make a decision

to break Christian witchcraft of the carnal

man. Father, in Jesus’ name, I take authority

over the spirit of witchcraft and I crucify

my flesh. I declare right now that it is no

longer I that lives but Christ who lives in

me and I live by the faith of the Son of God

who died and was raised for me. Thank you

Lord for giving me this discernment and to

walk in the liberty and fullness of Christ, in

Jesus' Name, Amen.
