WITCHCRAFT IN THE CHURCH I. RECOGNIZING WITCHCRAFT IN YOUR LIFE WITCHINCHURCHIs it possible for witchcraft to have power over Christians? Yes. Many Christians discard witchcraft as superstition or fantasy without any real power behind it. People say, “If you don’t believe it will do anything to you, it won’t.” Witchcraft is anything but harmless fun. It is about using unseen supernatural demonic powers to control your soul, mind, and body. Since God is against witchcraft (Galatians 5:19-21), then He is not the power behind it. Any supernatural power that is not of God is of Satan. Millions of Christians go through life each day and miss out on what God desires for them because they do not realize the subtle influence of witchcraft in their lives. Below is a list of characteristics that can indicate the presence of witchcraft in a person’s life. A. Emotional Manipulation – Influence with the intent to deceive; dishonesty. When people work underhandedly and deceitfully using misleading methods to work their way to the top and influence people away from God and/or godly leadership. Watch people who try to approach you and probe you in a particular area of your life. For example, someone may say something like, “I know what you’re going through. I’ve been there. Always know I am here for you if you ever want to talk.” Or they may say, “God gave me a word for you that you have been hurting and going through, and He wants me to pray for you.” People will use the name of God for manipulative purposes because they know that others cannot say “No” to anything God says. Men, beware when a woman says that God told her that you were going to be her husband. If she trusts in God, she should want to wait until God shows you. Emotional manipulation is a form of witchcraft. B. Super-Spiritual – “God told me this...” ‘God told me that...” “God had me up all night praying for you.” They’ll pray in tongues and praise God all the time. Everything they say starts with, the Lord.” It’s like nothing ever comes from them. They take credit for knowing everything God is doing. C. Intimidation – This occurs when threats or statements of possible harm or evil are made to control things. For instance, “If you don’t do this, pastor, we will stop giving or leave the church.” D. Encouragement to Sin – Witches work in the church to tempt people to sin, commit immorality, or participate in idol worship. Many men of God have been pulled down by women operating under the influence of a witchcraft spirit. They gain spiritual and leadership influence; then they deceive others into thinking it is alright to sin. This can happen with both pastors and/or laymen
