Bible Study: Witchcraft In The Bible Believers Who Practice Witchcraft

Believers Who Practice Witchcraft Witchcraft in the Bible

As you’re joining in of course you can share this broadcast let somebody hear the gospel. I’m talking to you about believers that practice witchcraft, believers that practice witchcraft and some of the witchcraft is unknowingly uh is passed down through tradition, it’s passed down through the type of parenting you have, it’s passed down through how your raised, your culture. And you don’t you may never know that that is witchcraft because you yourself may never even seek God strong enough like you may not even acknowledge Him strong enough to even want to know if it’s witchcraft. But there’s a lot of witchcraft that is not obvious to you that you grow up doing.

How witchcraft works

And see how witchcraft works over time you’ll start to see the bondages that you have in your life like you’re addicted to things and that’s why you develop goals. That’s why you develop things that you want to change because, in other words, you’re finally recognizing that this is witchcraft. You may not label it witchcraft but the fact that you want to change it your spirit that God gave to you, the spirit of man it knows that it is witchcraft. So it will alert you and let you know I need to change this. Whether it’s sometimes witchcraft is in eating. You know um something the Lord been showing me lately the holy spirit will show me how people like they’ll eat eat alive animals like the animal is still alive but they eating. It’s witchcraft. Witchcraft it’s a form of thinking and a way of doing a thing that’s in unrighteousness. You see it in first John and first John talked about unrighteousness a lot but witchcraft is and unrighteousness to doing a thing. There’s witchcraft in sexuality. We have met a lot of witchcraft people throughout the course of our life. If we go to a retail retail store, if we go to a phone store, if we go to a grocery store, if we go to a restaurant, we meet people all the time that are practicing witchcraft. But what I’m focusing on here is believers who practice witchcraft because they’re in the word there’s something they’re in the word reading it they’re hearing the word but they are committed to an unrighteousness in their life. So even though they’re hearing the word and the word is being preached to them they still have core beliefs on certain subjects. What is Satan’s purpose for witchcraft? To receive worship from man. And Satan really enjoys when the worship can come from a believer because it’s a different type of quota being made there. Okay you you have people that are serving Satan fine when they worship okay that’s the quota but that’s the usual. But when Satan could get a believer somebody that has knowledge of the word to practice witchcraft that’s a different type of quota. So what happens when somebody operates in witchcraft is Satan is being worshiped. So Satan is able to like get one of God’s teammates, one of his students and get them to mix, a lot of them to collaborate with corruption. See there is a place in one’s mind that it is completely an enemy to God. It is a complete adversary to God but that department of your mind is classified as good. So while it’s being classified as good it leaves you in a place place of not needing to investigate it, have discernment on it, or even think that is it it should be offered up to God. So that he could give you the directive and the conclusion and the summary and the answer on if this is of Him. So there’s a lot of parts of people’s life the witchcraft part of their life life is classified as good. It’s good for me to go to that conference, it’s good for me to join this Bible class, it’s good for me to join this Bible challenge. And see all these things that are the practicing of witchcraft it’s underneath the classification of good. So let me show you something even the disciples they were practicing witchcraft in Jesus’s presence and he would have to stop them many of times from continuing the witchcraft. Now this after he called them. Just think about it. He calls them and he has to rebuke them for even feeling it’s okay to do the witchcraft. Let’s watch this. Jesus takes Peter, James and John on the Mount of transfiguration. Correct? While down the Mount of transfiguration, Elijah, Moses they both appear with Jesus. Peter pops out and says, “I want to build a tabernacle, Is it okay that I build a tabernacle for you for for Peter uh uh for uh Elijah for Moses?” Jesus says, “No.” But Peter wants to practice witchcraft in front of Jesus. It’s Rebellion! It’s not from God! It’s not of God! But this is inside of his mind after he’s been called by God. He wants to start something that its source is not the will of God. He wants to start a building a tabernacle. He wants to build a place that God does not have scheduled. He wants to practice witchcraft. It’s unrighteous and Jesus has to tell but let me ask you a question. How could you be in a part of the glory manifesting, a vision you’re seeing Moses and Elijah and Jesus but you still got witchcraft practices? You still got things inside of you that when if you bring it to Jesus Jesus will say, “Stop doing it. No don’t do that.” This is a large population of people today. They are practicing witchcraft as believers.

God bless the dead

You know growing up we hear these little sly sayings. I don’t know if you all ever heard this before but I heard it growing up. Where people would say, “God bless the dead. God bless the dead.” And you’ll here God bless the dead. All right God bless the dead. God blessed the dead? God blessed the dead? Wait wait wait! How does God bless the dead? But you’ll hear people say it. They’ll have a Bible in one hand but what comes out of their mouth is, “God bless the dead.” We hear we hear things such as, Rest in peace.” Over the years it has been transitioned to rih, rest in heaven. We see people say it all the time, “Rest in peace man. I’m so shocked that you gone man! Rest in peace! I’m so shocked man! We was just hanging out the other day! Rest in heaven!” Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. So you telling me that the person is dead and you’re talking to them. What in the creepy is really going on? How do you find that okay? It’s normalized in the world because remember Satan is the god of what? this world. So Satan is the orchestrator is the uh the the offering, the suggestor. Suggesting to man to practice witchcraft. But how do believers start to do this? Going to a grave site and talking to the person that died as you stand at the grave site hope you’re doing okay. One of these days I’mma see you. Daddy going to see you. Mommy going to see you. I love you. I care about you. Huh? And Saints when people get into that zone they don’t even recognize that when they step into their vehicle they not even the same person. They have just invoked familiar spirits.

Receiving familiar spirits from practicing witchcraft

Now what happens when someone receive familiar spirits from practicing witchcraft? The job of familiar spirits is not to let you comprehend that they have apprehended you. So they don’t want you to know. So you might think, “Okay when the spirit enters me, I’ll know it!” No. Their whole goal is to silently and cautiously apprehend your body without you having no idea of their entry. But you’ll see the familiar spirits in a department of your life that is so hard to detect. You know the department? Appetites. Your appetites change. I’m not I’m not talking about physical food though it could be physical food. I’m talking about your appetite to engage in things, your appetite to watch things, your appetite to attend things. And watch this your appetite to get someone’s attention. When people become possessed by spirits there is a overwhelming desire to get someone’s favor. I hope you’re listening to me. You want someone to give you access. You want someone to like you. You want someone to include you in their personal life, their personal and private setting. That’s why when people have familiar spirits you’ll notice that they start to hang with certain people and they’ll even go to the extreme to win that person’s attention. Let me give you an example as well. In gangs, when when a young man has familiar spirits he will do more crime in the gang because he wants the gang leaders favor. So he’ll attack people that don’t got nothing to do with the gangs ops, don’t have nothing to do with the gangs adversaries but they’ll go to the extreme. They’ll rob places. They’ll do random, spontaneous acts of violence. Because they’re attempting to do what? Receive the favor of an illegal person. So hereby you understand that the practice of witchcraft are things that Satan has deemed innocent in your brain. Like when you have an enemy in this life you could easily step into witchcraft because you’ll want to deal with them and stop them from succeeding in their attack against you. When you have an enemy rise up against you it’s easy for you to grab the rhythm of witchcraft as a solution to the problem. Let me tell you something what witchcraft does witchcraft places a unrighteous approach to conflict. That’s why even in the Bible it says in in Proverbs if your enemy fall don’t rejoice too heavy don’t don’t celebrate too heavy unless God will turn away from them and focus on you because it becomes an unrighteous approach. Saints uh Saul was underneath so much witchcraft because even Samuel diagnosed him. Remember that? Samuel diagnosed and told him that he was underneath witchcraft. That’s uh uh King Saul rather King Saul was underneath so much witchcraft Saul that Samuel diagnosed him told him he was underneath witchcraft but you notice he has an unrighteous appetite, “If I just kill David, if I just kill David.”, to the degree that Jonathan was hiding David from him but he was so aggressive, focused, attentive and dedicated to the destruction of David. He was willing to do anything to get David eliminated.

What is a witch?

You know if you working at your job and you’re doing things to get somebody fired you’re practicing witchcraft. Let me say this to you. Many people that join Ministries are witches. Many people that enter into prophetic ministries are witches. What is a witch? It is a person that have become naturalized they are in common with practicing things that are unrighteous to God. He does not want that path for them but they are okay with it and even after Jesus calls them they will continue to go in that way for the rest of their days even after they’re called by Jesus. A witch is a person that witchcraft is natural to them which means it’s natural to them to be distracted, it’s natural to them to be disloyal, it’s natural to them to be unfaithful, it’s natural to them to stir up confusion wherever they feel like they’re not getting attention, they’re not being respected, they’re not being promoted. A witch is a person that enjoys the unrighteousness, they enjoy iniquity it becomes a sport to them they like it, they like the thrill to go against conviction. Whoa! So so they see it as like an adventure, “Like I feel God restraining me not to do this but I’mma break out and do it! I feel like I shouldn’t say this my my my my my body is even communicating to me don’t say it my heart beating fast but I’mma say it! A witch is a person that they have practiced witchcraft for so long that they will fight to get it done even if God sends people to tell them no don’t go through with this, no no no be peaceful no no no don’t don’t don’t. They are dedicated to perform the witchcraft. So I’m showing you if you look at the life of Saul Saul was so dedicated to kill David even his own son he see his own son like in other words saying come on dad just let it go just come on come on let’s come on I’m not telling you where he at come on come on. His own son is there as a conviction to him to let him know leave David alone. But Saul is a witch. Where else could we see that in the Bible? We see that in the story of Pharaoh. Pharaoh is a witch. That’s why he has all these magicians around him. And you see what goes on in witchcraft satanic power is conjured. Satanic power existes. Let me help you understand what happened with Lucifer when Lucifer was created. God invested power into Lucifer. Lucifer was doing what God said. Lucifer was following God’s instruction. Power was invested in Lucifer because God is a righteous judge, God is a righteous rewarder of they that diligently seek him. God invested power into Lucifer. Lucifer never lost that power. And we can see the power of the devil manifested. Where? In Revelation Chapter 12. We can go to Thessalonians and I can talk to you about the Antichrist and the power of the Antichrist how Satan going to move with power. So all power is not good power. But in Revelation Chapter 12 when Michael and his angels oppose Lucifer something happened. The Bible says that Lucifer fought back and when Lucifer fought back. What took place? Michael and his angels were struggling to defeat Lucifer. The Bible says something else amazing that Lucifer turned into a what? A dragon. Now what is the realm of a dragon? When we deal with this transition, Lucifer used to go to battle. Now the dragon carries fire inside of its loins. They could breathe out the fire as a burning mechanism. The dragon has fire inside of it. Now what did the fire represent in the book of Acts? It represented the heightened power of God, the depths of God’s power, the intensity of God’s power. So when Lucifer turned into the dragon it was a intensity of the power that Lucifer was entrusted with but now has been corrupted. Lucifer is using the power, the fire to fight Michael. The Bible said that they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony. So through words and the blood of Jesus they overcame Lucifer’s power. But my question to you is. How is they not sinning against God? Michael never sinned against God. But Michael is struggling with Lucifer’s power fighting against Michael. Now we transition let’s look at man today. Man are missing the mark every now and again and they are naive of Satan’s power. They are underneath the influence of Satan’s power even though they are hearers of the Word. That’s what James Chapter one is telling you. Apostle James is literally saying it’s very possible that you could hear the Bible and practice witchcraft. He said, “Don’t be a hearer of the Word and not a doer.” He said that you you can deceive yourself. He saying you can be underneath witchcraft even though you’re in the vicinity of the Word being preached to you. Your life can consist of witchcraft practices even though you’re around the Word being told to you. You could be a witch still. Saints, Aaron was called to be a Prophet underneath Moses. Moses is Prophet. And Aaron was practicing witchcraft right in the presence of God. Aaron he took the earrings of the people built a golden calf and said, “This golden calf is who brought us out of Egypt! This golden calf has delivered us! Let us offer up seeds and worship this golden calf!” Aaron was practicing witchcraft after encountering God. Aaron was doing witchcraft. He was so shocking! Just think about this. Aaron was practicing witchcraft after being anointed as a Prophet. Aaron showed something very very scary that when you are given the office of a Prophet, it’s possible for you to start practicing witchcraft, it’s possible for your mind to go off course. Remember Aaron is a Prophet and he’s dabbling with Satan’s power. He starts to practice witchcraft even to the degree the text said that he said, “I don’t know where this fellow went.” He talking about Moses. He said, “I don’t know where this fellow went.” He said, “We going to worship this golden calf.” He tells all the people, “Disconnect from Moses! Don’t expect him no more! Don’t look to him no more! Don’t think that we going to see him no more! Forget about him! His era is over! We in a new time and our time is for us to bow down and worship this golden calf!” He’s talking while he seated in the place of being  Prophet. Practicing witchcraft is in so many things that seem innocent. There are believers even when they talk to their children they say, “You can have an imaginary friend.” They allow their children to consult familiar spirits. Even while they are parenting their child, they tell their child, “It’s okay for you to talk to demons. It’s okay you’re just being a child.” No no no no no no no no no no no no no! It’s crazy how even in parenting there’s so much witchcraft impartation that come from the parent to the child, the parent to the child. There are believers that send their children to prom and they boast about it. “My child look at my child! They dressed up! Look they so fly! Look look at! They send their daughter away to prom! They send their son to prom and they boast about it! When Apostle Paul was teaching he said, “Do not be conformed to this world! Don’t be conformed to this world!” He said, “Be transformed! And then look what he said got to happen he said, “By the renewing of your mind!” Which means that your mind need to be delivered from all of these heritages, all of these cultures, all of these Information systems, all of these banks of knowledge, all of these mindsets, all of these focuses, all of these thoughts, all of these ways, all of these connectivities, all of these belief systems, all all of these habits, all of these!! Saints, Apostle Paul was saying, “Being conformed to this world will be a natural temptation. You’ll automatically be conformed to the world.” So when he say, “Don’t be conformed!” He’s saying because off the Jump you already conformed. This is so mighty. As you’re joining in, I know that you enjoying this but I want you to share this! Let somebody hear the word! I need, I I need you right now share the gospel! Share the gospel right now! There’s going to be a reward for you doing this, on the day of judgment! When you being judged by God, He going to reward you for sharing this!  Just think about it. Apostle Paul was saying off the jump, “You already conformed to the world.” He says, “Don’t be conformed!” Because he’s saying, “I already, I’m already letting you know. When you come into the world, when you growing up, you’re going to conform to the world. You’re going to do things that everybody is doing. If they say it’s right, you going to say it’s right. If they say it’s wrong, you going to say it’s wrong, They say that this is history month. This history Month. This history month, you going to say, you going to start saying, “This is history month. This is history month. This is history month. This is history month.” Whatever they tell you in history, you going to start repeating it. The Conformity being conformed to the world is the first things that happen, as you’re growing up. You follow what people tell you about marriage. You follow what people tell you about success. There are people watch this here let me deal with this witchcraft. There are some of you that think that being pretty is being light-skinned. That the lighter you are the prettier you are. So Satan got you doing all type of stupid stuff. “I got to be light! If I’m not light, I don’t look good!” Satan will tell you, “I need to lighten up my picture to the degree so that I can look like I’m pretty!” I’m showing you there’s all type of Witchcraft in the world that you start to take on. Even witchcraft that tells you, “My stomach should look like this. My shoulders, my neck, everything it got to look like this!!” Saints, often times you’ll look at somebody and be like, “Okay the person don’t look like this is supposed to look!!” Well how is this supposed to to look? You’ve been conformed to the world. Because even God told Samuel, “I the Lord don’t look at outward appearance. I look at the heart.” So truth be told you might look at somebody with tattoos and say, “It don’t look like God would use them.” But God not looking at the outward appearance he looking at the heart. God will use anybody in purity and in righteousness if their heart is pure and their heart is righteous. Hallelujah, hallelujah!! Thank you Lord!! There’s even witchcraft that people practice in their appearance. You know how many women go get botox? They go get all them surgeries on their face and then they look like a mummy. And you look at the original picture of the person you’re like, “What happened? Why did this person keep on going underneath the knife and getting surgery?” Witchcraft, they were practicing witchcraft! You see? Practicing witchcraft can easily happen in the sense that you start to look at your appearance and think that you’re ugly because you don’t look like that other woman. You don’t look like that other man, It’s true you might be shorter in height and looking at a tall man and saying, “Why I’m not as tall as him?” You start practicing witchcraft. You can look at someone short and say, “Well I wish I was shorter! I don’t like being this tall!!” Start practicing witchcraft. People practice witchcraft even in their bodily appearance. They start trying to look like the other person so strong. They cut their hair off. You cut your hair off saints, I came into this world with long hair that Nazarite lineage. I was already in that you know a Nazarite. Where they don’t put a razor to their head. I was already in that as a little boy. I remember remember when they cut my hair off. I remember feeling so lost. Like I lost a part of me. I felt, I felt like virtue left me when I got my haircut as a little boy. It was right after I had that encounter with the Lord and sometime after that. But I remember there was so many people they kept insulting my mother. They kept telling her, “This is a boy, he look like a girl he not supposed to look that pretty. He not supposed to look cute like that. He’s a boy! He’s supposed to have his hair, you you got him looking like a girl! They got to my mother’s psyche. This was before my mother had went all the way in with surrendering to the Holy Spirit. They got to her psyche. And she cut my hair off. Later on, I did grow my hair back. But during that state when when my hair got cut off my heart was broken. Like young!! I wasn’t bitter at my mother. It was it was just, it was just I knew what happened. I could detect in the Spirit this hair was not supposed to be cut off. Like it was a part of me! It was me! You say, “What what what is all this?” Remember, God made a covenant with Samson because it was a Nazarite covenant. He was supposed to be a Nazarite. “Don’t cut his hair off!!” Let me shock you with this. My mother started doing my hair. When I was a when I got in my teenage, she started doing my hair. At the time, we didn’t have a lot, a lot of money to like you know be paying for people doing my hair and stuff like that right. So my mother was doing it. And I remember I had to cut my hair again this around when I’m 13 around that time like that that young. I had to cut my hair again because my mother became sick. So it was constant but see Satan is inflicting this. Because its like, “I need to stop him from not having the long hair!” So now she’s doing my hair she fall sick so she can’t do my hair. So it’s like Satan has a motive for the attack. The motive is, “Okay now he got to cut his hair again!” So um I wore my hair, for a certain time, curly and stuff like that. You know. Uh what they call it? Nine-to-five type, you know that cut that. And the Holy Spirit came to me and told me, “No. You’re a Nazarite. Your hair is supposed to be long. This is how I had you as a little boy and this is how I want you at this point in your life.” See why am I telling you this? Witchcraft can happen if you don’t accept the image in which God wants to present you. If your physical appearance if you rejected, witchcraft could happen there. Saints, you know you got to understand this as well some people’s instructions from the Lord is because they’re extremely religious. So God will talk to someone different than he talks to you. You might hear how he talk to them and say, “No that’s not God! That’s the devil!!” But but you have to understand the background that God is breaking. When people are very religious, they are very witchcraft as well. They’re high-minded and they put their trust and their confidence in themselves. They put so much pride in the themselves. And they be like, “You know, I’m doing everything right! Uh you know, I’m I’m I’m so perfect!” And they start to become witches. They Harden their heart against the Spirit of God. Because now they become their own God, “And I know what’s good for me! I know what’s right! I know what’s Godly! I know what’s holy!” And when the Holy Spirit is delivering that person he will take them a different path than you and you’ll look at them and be like, “Oh God wouldn’t tell that person to do that!” And on the day of judgment, you’ll be shocked God broke that person with the instructions He gave them because they was religious. When people are extremely religious, God will set your life up. If you going to make it to eternal life, He’ll set your life up in a way that if a religious person look at you they’ll tell you, “You’re sinning against God! You’re unrighteous! You’re evil! You’re you’re you’re you need to repent!!” Meanwhile, you don’t know, “That’s why I’m walking this path because I’ve repented. If if I wasn’t walking this path, you actually would not be telling me to repent. Because I’ll be alongside of you in that same religious mindset.” And the Holy Spirit targeted me and I let him accomplish the strategy to show me that, “I am not God, you’re God and I follow your cross! I follow your way! I follow your will!” And that’s what God does when people grow up religiously they have a lot of pride about themselves. “I’ll never do that! That’ll never be me! I will never let that happen to me!!” They’re so proud! You forgot the Son of God was spat upon. They spit on Him! They punched Him! They crucified Him!! They stripped Him naked and laughed at Him!!” And here you are today talking about, “Oh and if somebody do that to me I’mma call down fire from heaven!” Who is you? You’re practicing witchcraft! You practicing witchcraft! You know when people try to avoid being attacked by people they try to avoid getting slandered. They start practicing witchcraft. Wow!! Hallelujah!!

How do you break witchcraft?

How do you break witchcraft? Meekness. Meekness. Meekness. What is meekness all about? Because the Bible say, “The meek shall inherit the earth.” I think that’s Matthew Chapter 5. Psalm thirty seven talk about, “The meek, the meek will inherit all things. They inherit the earth.”

What is meekness?

So meekness what is it all about? Meekness is vulnerability towards the Lord. And meekness is hunger for accuracy. Meekness is hunger for accuracy. How do you stop practicing witchcraft? Meekness. Meekness is hunger for accuracy. Meekness is the hatred for deception. You start to hate things that seem innocent but they are iniquity.  Meekness is betraying your forms of godliness. Every format that you’ve created for yourself in which you will say, “I know what’s best for me!” Meekness is hatred for forms of godliness. Self-righteousness becomes annoying to you. That’s why if you ever meet a meek person they will hate arrogance. They will hate anything that causes them not to learn the correct way of God. The meek person is very patient. They allow God to get out of them what’s not supposed to be in them and to purge them. I have so much to teach on this. I want you to share this broadcast! I have so much to teach on this. You know my mind, I have so much libraries on this. But it’s so common that believers practice witchcraft because they’re not asking the Lord for his opinion. They not asking the Lord about how he feels about what they do. They’re not asking the Lord no questions. And the Bible say, “Ask you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you.” And many believers are not doing this. They’re living in rebellion to God’s request. And they have done it for so long that they have become witches in agreement with Satan’s will and not disturbed. The Bible said, “That there’s a realm where you can sear your conscience with a hot iron.” Your conscience could be burned away!! Your conscious you know your conscious it’s like it doesn’t irritate you no more. “This is my culture that’s all. This is the way I was taught to do it that’s all. This is how we normally get it accomplished that’s all.” And remember witchcraft is simply unrighteousness. It’s not the right thing. It’s not beneficial for you to even learn it, practice it. But you’ll do it because it’s in your blood it’s in your bloodline. You saw somebody else do it. You heard somebody do it. It was taught to you but it’s not of God. It’s not of God. But how will you know? How will you know? Meekness is the is is the research on the activity you conduct. That’s powerful what I’m saying right there in that definition! That’s a wisdom door. Meekness is research on the activity you conduct. You’re researching it out. I’ve been stamping that this is of God. But I I never confronted the Lord about this/ I grew up hearing I should do this but I I never confronted the meekness is also researching the activity that you conduct. You see the disciples got rebuked a lot of times. They said Lord, “We saw somebody casting uh doing miracles and remember they said we went go forbid them and tell them to stop!” And Jesus said, “Don’t do that again! Don’t do it again!” What was Jesus telling them? “You’re wrong! That’s witchcraft! This was of me! Why did you went go bother them? Leave them alone!!” Imagine the disciples felt they was right. They felt that they was doing Jesus a favor. But they was wrong.
