What is Witchcraft?

Witches are modern "soothsayers" or "diviners", people who tell you your future or perform curses on other people for you.

They may use tarot cards, tea leaf reading, palm reading or crystal balls, etc. These sort of objects that draw demons to them are like talismans. We don't want to give any ground to the enemy by having these sort of items in our homes.

Neither should we have books, DVD's or other material that refers to witches and witchcraft or idols of gods or even figurines of gods. In fact, we shouldn't even have statues of the Virgin Mary in our home because Mary was never a god.

All that to say that we should be very careful about things of witchcraft and the occult.

Three Ways to Summon Demons:
  • Sight
  • Sound
  • Smell

Idols draw demons through sight. Pounding drums and noise or humming draws them through sound. And incense draws them through smell.

When we burn incense to an idol, the demons know they are being worshipped (even if we don't know that ourselves). Offering incense to an idol is the same as idol worship. Of course, no Christian should ever take part in this.

The "Dragon Dance" or the "Lion Dance" of the Chinese is also a form of devil-worship. Demons love noise, clanging and the beat of the drum. They also love the sound of "Om" used for meditation.

Rebelliousness is Witchcraft

Why does the Bible say that rebellion is like the sin of witchcraft? Because, when we rebel against God, we are denying His power and authority and handing it over to the devil.

Give no place to the devil. Make sure your home is not accidentally inviting demons in. Allow the Holy Spirit to do a thorough cleansing of your heart and home if you have any heaviness or depression in your life.

Fill up on the Heavenly Holy Ghost and let Him haunt your house.
