The prologue to my testimony may be an extensive one, but consider, my story is not hearsay. I am telling you what I personally experienced. My intent is to expose witchcraft in the church and manifest the power of God by sharing some experiences along with various scripture references. All acclamations to Jesus!
Witchcraft and false prophecy are two activities that Satan uses to deceive and control people; yet, many people cannot discern these demonic activities in the church. According to Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee….”
When I discuss witchcraft, some people might immediately think that I am ignorant or am just using the term as a crutch for my own weakness. I have heard people describe Christians that way also. Such thoughts are far from the truth. There are many questions that I could ask you right now to find out how much you know about witchcraft and false prophecy. Do you have anyone or do you know of anyone who has a sickness of which the symptoms are hard to explain to a friend or even to a doctor? Do you ever wonder why there are people who would congregate to conspire to harm or control other people for no apparent reason? Do you know that witchcraft can affect an entire community? Read Daniel 10:13 where it tells us how Daniel’s prayer was hindered. Do you find it strange that some small communities only have three or four funerals a year while there may be one community of the same size with nearly twenty funerals in a year? Do you know that there are people who worship Satan and request supernatural powers from Satan to send demonic spirits your way just to torment, control, or even destroy you because they cannot have power over you in the natural realm? Have you ever heard of witchcraft? Open your eyes and open your ears that you might hear the truth! Are you hungry for the truth? Well, Galatians 5:19-23, (emphasis added) reads: “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, WITCHCRAFT, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, 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.” Just pause and think for a second: do you agree that if adultery still exists, then so does witchcraft, since it is also a work of the flesh?). Do you know that there is a counterfeit to the Holy Spirit? Do you know that there is such thing as a ‘religious’ spirit?
I preached a sermon one Sunday entitled “Copy Cat.” The sermon informed the congregation that Satan could present himself to us like he is God. Satan has people strategically planted to oppose the things of God. These people can act spiritual by shouting, speaking in tongues, healing the sick (surely Satan can take sickness away since he gave it to you), prophesying, etc. Matthew 7:23 declares, “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” These people want the anointing that God’s people possess but they don’t want to fast, pray, seek God’s face and wait for power from God.
