Just as prayer is real so is witchcraft. In Prayer, one
communicates with God and can intercede. In witchcraft, one communicates with
Satan and can influence. The question becomes 'whom do you serve?' The Bible
speaks clearly about both. The Bible says that this world's domain is Satan's,
and that he has great influence and many followers. Therefore, spiritual
warfare is happening today. The Church pushes back, can gain ground, and
prevent the attacks of the enemy in the spiritual realm by praying. Powerful
prayer in the Church results in it repenting of sin and trusting in God , and
realizing what authority is had in Jesus Christ's name. It's all bigger then
politics, but politics is a battle ground.
“I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness
of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that
raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right
hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or
power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world
to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him
head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body;
it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with
himself.”
Ephesians 1:19-23 NLT
Ephesians 1:19-23 NLT
“After that the end will come, when he will turn the Kingdom
over to God the Father, having destroyed every ruler and authority and power.
For Christ must reign until he humbles all his enemies beneath his feet. And
the last enemy to be destroyed is death. For the Scriptures say, “God has put
all things under his authority.” (Of course, when it says “all things are under
his authority,” that does not include God himself, who gave Christ his
authority.) Then, when all things are under his authority, the Son will put
himself under God’s authority, so that God, who gave his Son authority over all
things, will be utterly supreme over everything everywhere.”
1 Corinthians 15:24-28 NLT
1 Corinthians 15:24-28 NLT
“What we do see is Jesus, who was given a position “a little
lower than the angels”; and because he suffered death for us, he is now
“crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death for
everyone. God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to bring
many children into glory. And it was only right that he should make Jesus,
through his suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring them into their
salvation. So now Jesus and the ones he makes holy have the same Father. That
is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters. For he said
to God, “I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise
you among your assembled people.” He also said, “I will put my trust in him,”
that is, “I and the children God has given me.” Because God’s children are
human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For
only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power
of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could he set free
all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.”

Those who practice witchcraft will lose.
25 Reasons to Renounce Witchcraft
1. Revelation 21:27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will
anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are
written in the Lamb’s book of life.
2. Revelation 21:8 “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt,
murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all
liars–their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur.This is the second
death.”
3. Galatians 5:19-21 Now the actions of the flesh are obvious:
sexual immorality, impurity, promiscuity, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,
rivalry, jealously, outbursts of anger, quarrels, conflicts, factions, envy,
murder, drunkenness, wild partying, and things like that. I am telling you now,
as I have told you in the past, that people who practice such things will not
inherit the kingdom of God.
4. Micah 5:11-12 I will tear down your walls and demolish your
defenses. I will put an end to all witchcraft, and there will be no more
fortune-tellers.
5. Micah 3:7 Seers will be put to shame. Those who practice
witchcraft will be disgraced. All of them will cover their faces, because God
won’t answer them.
6. 1 Samuel 15:23 Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and
stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols. So because you have rejected the command
of the LORD, he has rejected you as king.”
7. Leviticus 19:26 “Do not eat meat that has not been drained of
its blood. “Do not practice fortune-telling or witchcraft.
8. Deuteronomy 18:10-13 For example, never sacrifice your son or
daughter as a burnt offering. And do not let your people practice
fortune-telling, or use sorcery, or interpret omens, or engage in witchcraft,
or cast spells, or function as mediums or psychics, or call forth the spirits
of the dead.Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord. It is
because the other nations have done these detestable things that the Lord your
God will drive them out ahead of you. But you must be blameless before the Lord
your God.
9. Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no
more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be
heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the
earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
10. Isaiah 47:12-14 “Now use your magical charms! Use the spells
you have worked at all these years! Maybe they will do you some good. Maybe
they can make someone afraid of you. All the advice you receive has made you
tired. Where are all your astrologers, those stargazers who make predictions
each month? Let them stand up and save you from what the future holds. But they
are like straw burning in a fire; they cannot save themselves from the flame.
You will get no help from them at all; their hearth is no place to sit for
warmth.
11. Isaiah 8:19 Someone may say to you, “Let’s ask the mediums
and those who consult the spirits of the dead. With their whisperings and
mutterings, they will tell us what to do.” But shouldn’t people ask Godfor
guidance? Should the living seek guidance from the dead?
12. Leviticus 20:26-27 You must be holy because I, the LORD, am
holy. I have set you apart from all other people to be my very own. “Men and
women among you who act as mediums or who consult the spirits of the dead must
be put to death by stoning. They are guilty of a capital offense.”
13. 1 Chronicles 10:13-14 So Saul died because he was unfaithful
to the LORD. He failed to obey the LORD’s command, and he even consulted a
medium instead of asking the LORD for guidance. So the LORD killed him and
turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.
14. 1 John 5:18-19 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth
not;but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one
toucheth him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in
wickedness.
15. 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome
them:because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
16. Ephesians 5:11 Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil
and darkness; instead, expose them.
17. 3 John 1:11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but
what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is
evil has not seen God.
18. 1 Corinthians 10:21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and
the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of
demons.
19. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for
whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
20. 1 John 3:8-10 The one who does what is sinful is of the
devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the
Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of God
will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on
sinning, because they have been born of God. This is how we know who the
children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not
do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their
brother and sister.
21. 1 John 4:1-3 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but
test the spirits to see whether they are from God,because many false prophets
have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God:
Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from
God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is
the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is
already in the world.
22. Revelation 9:20-21But the people who did not die in these
plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They
continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and
wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk! And they did not repent of
their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
23. 2 Kings 9:21-22″Quick! Get my chariot ready!” King Joram
commanded. Then King Joram of Israel and King Ahaziah of Judah rode out in
their chariots to meet Jehu. They met him at the plot of land that had belonged
to Naboth of Jezreel. 22King Joram demanded, “Do you come in peace, Jehu?” Jehu
replied, “How can there be peace as long as the idolatry and witchcraft of your
mother, Jezebel, are all around us?”
24. 2 Chronicles 33:6 Manasseh also sacrificed his own sons in
the fire in the valley of Ben-Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and
witchcraft, and he consulted with mediums and psychics. He did much that was
evil in the Lord’s sight, arousing his anger.
25. Nahum 3:4-5 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the
wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through
her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts. Behold, I am against thee,
saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I
will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
