WITCHRAFT AND GENERATIONAL CURSE

Wicca would be called the “religion of choice” in our high schools today.

Isaiah 47:12-14: “Stand now with your enchantments and the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth – perhaps you will be able to profit, perhaps you will prevail. You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels; let now the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from what shall come upon you. Behold, they shall be as stubble, the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame; it shall not be a coal to be warmed by, nor a fire to sit before.”

The Wiccan worshippers call themselves proponents of “white magic”; some traffic in “black magic”

 They believe there are two gods; “The Lady” and “The Lord”

 They do not believe in the personification of evil 

 They believe in reincarnation

 They believe there is no Satan and there is no Hell

 The Wiccan religion is now one of the official religions recognized by the governments

 Witches are not our enemies; they are people who need Jesus Christ!

Because of what is said in the O.T., many Wiccans believe that Christians want to kill them

 Wiccans will say that they worship nature

 The Wiccan religion may very well be a resurgence of Gnosticism

 The Wiccan’s goddess is the “Queen of Heaven” mentioned in the Bible

 “Magic” is used to influence the course of others by compelling agencies, either spiritual beings, or bringing into operation some occult principles of nature (spirit guides, angels, etc.)

 Two methods used to employ magic:

·         Psychic powers

·         Demonic powers

 Spiritism: The practice of attempting to communicate with departed spirits

 Necromancy: The art of using objects to consult with spirits

 Mediumism: When a spiritist allows a spirit to enter his or her body

Point: There can be generational spirits that follow particular families and bloodlines; these spirits will try and manifest themselves to members of that family as lost loved ones or friendly personalities

 About Satanists:

·         They worship Satan and do satanic rituals

·         Their rituals almost always involve bloodshed for spiritual empowerment

·         They can dispatch demon spirits

·         They pray and intercede against Christians

·         They will plant fetishes or occultic objects in the ground of churches to bring a curse against its members and cause disruption

 Appeasement: The wearing of something or giving of gifts to ward away the attack of evil spirits

“Thus says the Lord, “Woe to the women who sew magic charms on their sleeves and make veils for the heads of people of every height to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people and keep yourselves alive?” -- Ezekiel 13:18

 Point: There are pastors who have fallen into sexual sin as a result of occult spells operating against them

 If they have any generational strongholds, then there is a weakness already in them

·         Then they may be bombarded by demons that try to promote sexual sin in their life

 Incubus: a male spirit that comes to promote sexual dreams and lustfulness in women

 Succubus: a female spirit that promotes sexual dreams and lustfulness in men

Bewitchments

 Sacrifice: when human sacrifice has been done against a leader, it can open powerful doors of attack!

 Point: There is no innocent participation in witchcraft!

·         Indulging in any form of witchcraft or occult involvement can result in spiritual attachment and oppression, and can open the door to future attacks in your life

 Types of Occultic Curses:

·         Stun & Numb (causes inexplicable paralysis in the body)

·         Death

·         Accidents

·         Sudden or unexplainable fever, pains or headaches

·         Things repeatedly breaking down

·         Extreme confusion

How Do You Break a Curse?

Luke 10:19 – “Behold, I give you power to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

 Say, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I declare you curse of (name the curse) broken, in Jesus’ name!” If there is a spirit attached to that curse, you will then command that spirit to leave.

 Make sure the person being delivered is not in agreement with the curse; in other words, they didn’t perform some act that brought the curse. They will need to renounce that act.
