Witchcraft is fundamentally a craft of manipulation. Witches and wizards excel in manipulation; it is their primary occupation. They revel in it, constantly using manipulation to influence others, control them, and dominate their actions. This is the essence of witchcraft. As described in Job 5:12, “The Lord disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.” The term “devices” refers to the tactics and strategies employed by witches to oppress people. Understanding these tactics is crucial for overcoming witchcraft.
To counteract witchcraft effectively, one must recognize and uncover the enemy’s strategies. By doing so, you can engage in spiritual warfare through prayer in the name of Jesus and achieve victory. It is essential to know the enemy’s tactics and avoid engaging them in arguments or physical confrontations. Instead, you should focus on spiritual strategies.
One common tactic of the enemy is slander. Witches often speak ill of you before your divine helpers and loved ones to create separation and discord. This can be seen in the case of a sister who experienced a breakdown in her harmonious living situation after a friend of her sister’s entered the picture. The friend manipulated the sister to create conflict, resulting in daily strife.
When faced with such situations, it is vital to avoid engaging in verbal disputes with the enemy. Instead, seek refuge and maintain distance if possible. In the case mentioned, I advised the sister to find another place to stay temporarily while we engaged in focused prayer. Our prayers were directed at collapsing any power standing between her and her sister and silencing every tongue speaking against her.
Consistent prayer revealed that our efforts were making an impact. We prayed for two hours daily, and through these prayers, we discerned that the enemy’s tactics were being exposed. The enemy’s unexpected reactions validated the effectiveness of our prayers. Eventually, the witch’s actions led to her exposure, and the sister was able to return to a peaceful life.
The key takeaway is not to engage the enemy in verbal confrontations. The Holy Spirit guides us to channel our provocation and anger into prayer, not arguments. Spiritual warfare is not about physical or verbal combat but about combating the spiritual forces behind the scenes. As Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
When dealing with witchcraft, avoid letting fleshly reactions dictate your responses. Your strategy should be prayer-focused and spiritually oriented. By opposing the enemy’s tactics with prayer, you align yourself with God’s power and achieve victory.
In summary, the strategy to combat witchcraft involves recognizing the enemy’s tactics and responding with prayer rather than confrontation. By doing so, you can effectively counteract witchcraft and ensure victory in your spiritual battles.
Remember, your approach should always be different from the enemy’s strategy. Embrace prayer as your weapon, and you will find success in overcoming witchcraft. God bless you!
