Lawful Captives



 

Lawful Captives


Witchcraft is from satan, and anyone who practices it does what is abominable before God. If you know anyone involved in witchcraft or any of its associated practices (like sorcery, fortune-telling, magic, palm reading, the invocation of the dead, etc.), prayerfully try to help them save their lives, but if they refuse your help, stay away from them and when I say stay away I mean away. No friendship or communication of any kind. When we dabble in witchcraft, we open up ourselves to demons and their influences. We invite them to create spiritual and physical frustrations for us. We surrender to the leadership and control of the devil. We make ourselves lawful captives Here are a few scriptures about witchcraft and all of its related practices. Anyone who reads these scriptures and still thinks that witchcraft is okay and normal should think again. 


1. We are warned to stay away from any form of witchcraft 


Leviticus 19:26 (NLT) - Do not eat meat that has not been drained of its blood. Do not practice fortune-telling or witchcraft. 


Leviticus 19:31- Do not look for advice from people who get messages from those who have died. Do not go to people who talk to the spirits of the dead. If you do, they will make you unclean. I am the Lord your God. 


Leviticus 20:6 - I will also turn against those who commit spiritual prostitution by putting their trust in mediums or in those who consult the spirits of the dead. I will cut them off from the community. 


Leviticus 20:6 - Suppose someone looks for advice from people who get messages from those who have died. Or they go to people who talk to the spirits of the dead. And they do what those people say. Then they have not been faithful to me. So I will turn against them. I will separate them from their people. 


Deuteronomy 18:10-13 - There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. 13 You shall be blameless before the Lord your God. 


2. Practicing witchcraft leads to eternal damnation 


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. 


Galatians 5:19-21- Now the actions of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, promiscuity, 20 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of anger, quarrels, conflicts, factions, 21 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. 


3. The consequence of practicing witchcraft is death


Leviticus 20:26-27- You must be holy because the Lord is 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. 


1 Chronicles 10:13-14 (NLT) - So Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord. He failed to obey the Lord’s command, and he even consulted a medium 14 instead of asking the Lord for guidance. So the Lord killed him and turned the kingdom over to David, son of Jesse. 


Exodus 22:18 – Do not suffer a witch to live. Micah 3:7 (GWT) - 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. 


4. Trust God for guidancenot mediums Isaiah 


8:19-20 (NIRV) - Some people get messages from those who have died. But these people only whisper words that are barely heard. Suppose someone tells you to ask for advice from these people. Shouldn’t you ask for advice from your God instead? Why should you get advice from dead people to help those who are alive? 20 Follow what the Lord taught you and said to you through me. People who don’t speak in keeping with these words will have no hope in the morning. 


Proverbs 3:5-8 (TLB) - If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself. 6 In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success. 7-8 Don’t be conceited, sure of your own wisdom. Instead, trust and reverence the Lord, and turn your back on evil; when you do that, then you will be given renewed health and vitality. …….. As you can see, witchcraft is a serious issue. 


It is not what the world says it is. It is not what movies and films say it is.  The first step to dealing with witchcraft is to understand what it is in all its ramifications according to Scriptures. By being able to comprehend witchcraft, we can first and foremost separate ourselves from its appearances and manifestations. Then we can pray and renounce its activities against us.
