Exposing Witchcraft: Discerning How Witchcraft Attacks

WITCHCRAFT SEPARATES AND ISOLATES IT VICTIMS FROM THE POSITIVE INFLUENCE OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

One who is being controlled feels the loss of personal identity and self-esteem. Depression and fatigue quickly follow as the super spiritual controller gives abnormal attention to those it desires to manipulate.

SEPARATION THROUGH ISOLATION

Beware of separation through isolation. Isolation is a solid weapon of witchcraft. It wants to separate you from your friends, your church, or anyone whom it perceives can speak truth into your life. I have witnessed people that have two close, stable friends and watched this force of wickedness separate and isolate its victim from their comrades. This happens when witchcraft attempts to cause a separation from others in your life through the introduction of strife. Your other friends are its perceived enemies. People operating in witchcraft are masters at pitting people against one another in order to separate and isolate them.

This spirit will do whatever it takes to control the environment around it. It likes to be in the limelight of your life. A person that is humble of heart doesn't care about being the center of attention. They are interested in pleasing God rather than taking front stage. The spirit of witchcraft, in contrast, likes abnormal attention, but most importantly, attention behind the scenes. People operating in witchcraft don't want to share your attention with others but want to keep you totally for themselves.

A person operating in the spirit of witchcraft focuses conversations around themselves. They want to talk about them, them, them and them. They don't like to talk about anybody or anything else and as soon as you try to change the subject they will quickly cut the conversation short. These conversations are extremely abnormal and signify a bizarre attempt to cut off any other relationships in your life.

SUPER SPIRITUAL PERSONA

Acting super spiritual is another tactic. If need be, witchcraft will even get super spiritual in its effort to manipulate you. A person operating in this spirit might even call you up and say, "I was up all night praying for you. I just couldn't sleep last night. The Spirit of God just really impressed on me to call you first thing this morning (at 6:30 a.m.) and tell you that you need to hear from God and not fear man."

People releasing witchcraft will often get spiritual with you by ending their conversation speaking in other tongues or some super spiritual saying. They will do whatever it takes to add a spiritual sounding punch to their manipulation. This, too, is a form of witchcraft; especially if they didn't stay up all night and God wasn't really talking to them about you. Instead, they were probably just up all night trying to figure out how to manipulate you. People who walk in witchcraft have an uppity air of spiritual superiority about them. They think that they have it altogether and you don't. If they can get you to lose your composure publicly by putting you on the spot, then they will. They will push you out on the proverbial limb for all to see. They are not necessarily flaky, but they can act super spiritual.

One time, while overseas, I was asked about this particular church service we attended. I said, "I thought it was God until --." It got real quiet after I explained what I meant by until. I noticed that those under the influence of witchcraft were looking at their spiritual leader for a cue as to how to respond. I asked their leader, "What did you think?" This person looked at me directly and gave me the deepest spiritual answer I had ever heard. His statement was totally non-relative to our conversation. Then he got up and left us all pondering his great spiritual depth. Witchcraft forces cause one to act so super spiritual that you can't even have a normal conversation with them. If witchcraft can, it will get you so far out there in spiritual wonderland that nobody can reach you. In reality, the more spiritual a person gets the more balanced and relatable that person should be.

LOSS OF IDENTITY

The force of witchcraft will cause people to be confused about their individual identities. Your identity is your sense of who you are, what you're all about, your focus in life, core values, purpose, goals, aspirations, life experiences, education and interrelationships. Those influenced by witchcraft begin to wonder who they are. They doubt their unique purpose and role in life. I have even seen pastors attacked by witchcraft doubt their calling into ministry - even after many years of service.

Witchcraft will make you feel that without the person operating in this demonic spirit (the controller) you have no personal identity of your own. When you find yourself losing purpose and wondering why you feel the way you do that is a sign that the spirit of witchcraft is trying to steal your identity. Witchcraft's control will make you feel like you are out of place and have no personal value as you watch your self-esteem disappear. Beware of drawing your sense of value from someone else other than Christ.

ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS

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

• Do you feel like less of a person at times in the presence of someone else?
• Do you think that you have no meaning in life apart from your relationship with someone else?
• Do you feel like you have lost your personal identity?
• Do you feel like your ministry is insignificant?
• Have you ever felt that one of your friends or relatives tried to isolate you from other people?
• Do you know anyone who gets super spiritual with you when you try to have a normal conversation
• Is this person always telling you what God told them that He wants you to do?
• Have you lost close friends because someone began to talk spitefully about them?
• Has anyone pitted two of your friends against each other?
• Is there anyone who releases fear at you whenever they want you to do something?
• Has anyone ever told you something terrible was going to happen to you if you didn't do what he or she said?

SICKNESS

Sickness is a key weapon of witchcraft. When you are battling witchcraft, you might start getting severe headaches or feel like you are choking and can't breathe. One time, when I was battling with this spirit, I felt like someone was standing on my chest. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. The force against me was real and the battle was raging. But, through prayer, pleading the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony I won!

I have met many people, especially intercessors, who felt sick and got headaches when witchcraft was attacking them. Others felt an oppression that rested on their faces. I know of others who had various "old" sickness symptoms appear during intercession. Still others who felt flue-like symptoms attack their bodies. When you are ignorant you don't know what to do, but when you know the Word of God and your authority as a believer you can fight back.

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death" (Revelations 12:11 KJV).
