Exposing Witchcraft: Discerning How Witchcraft Spirits Attack

Page 2

Those under witchcraft's control think they never do anything wrong. When caught, they say there is nothing for which to repent.

They never manifest any true repentance or humility. Whatever humility they may demonstrate is false and used only as a tool to manipulate you. SUPERFICIAL REPENTANCE is a common witchcraft deception. Beware of their motives because witchcraft never examines self.

Review these questions to help you identify if witchcraft has been released at you through the methods we just discussed.

• Do you ever feel that everything is your fault?
• Do you know someone that feels like they have not done anything wrong after they have abused you?
• Do you always blame your problems on someone else?
• Have people told you they were sorry but you knew they weren't?

Legitimate Fronts

The spirit of witchcraft seeks a legitimate front. To look good, those operating in witchcraft surround themselves with men and women of character. They try to associate themselves with credible people and others with good reputations in an attempt to make it look like they're part of that group. Simon, a sorcerer, for example, joined Philip's ministry team in Samaria (Acts 8). The Apostle Peter discerned Simon's motives and rebuked him.

Soul Ties

Prayer to break soul ties

Have you ever heard the word soul ties? Well, that's what witchcraft wants to create with its victim. If your emotions can be hooked, then they can gain a soul tie with you. If they can form a soul tie with you, then they can control you. All abnormal soul ties need to be broken by the power of the Name of Jesus. There are natural soul ties and abnormal soul ties.

A natural soul tie could be formed if you were involved in a plane crash, landed on a remote island with several survivors and helped each other endure. The result of that accident could lead to a positive emotional bonding with the others. That's a healthy bonding because everybody successfully went through a great trial together.

When you have sexual relations with someone there is a soul tie (emotional bonding) that generates because two fleshes become one (Genesis 2:24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.Genesis 2 verse 24).

I know of times when people have lost their children through some unfortunate accident. Just being there with them has formed an emotional soul tie. In essence, there are some good soul ties that bring stability into a person's life to help get them through something. Then there are soul ties used solely for the purpose of manipulation, control and selfish gain.

Review these questions to help you identify if witchcraft has been released at you through the methods we just discussed.

• Have you ever been emotionally bonded with someone who used that bonding to manipulate you?
• Have you met the person who tries to make himself or herself look important through the use of other peoples' reputations?
• Do you know anyone who insinuates that they are part of an organization through name dropping?
