Those who have control issues simply have not given the control of their own lives over to the LORD and therefore operate in the witchcraft of controlling others – something that God forbids as they usurp HIS place in the lives of others. True repentance needed and to denounce the sin of self-idolatry, spiritual adultery, and witchcraft.

Undue control over others is “witchcraft” which is a soul damning sin (Galatians 5:19-21). God has not called us to control others or even seek to but rather allow them the freedom to grow in His grace as they work out their own salvation as God works in them (Philippians 2:12-13)…… Prayer is the greatest divine weapon whereby God makes us free from all control …. Personally, the last time I checked, I am a full-time job to keep crucified (1 Corinthians 9:27)…. so why O why would there be time to encroach upon others, to be unduly preoccupied with someone else’s walk… . GOD is able saints!

“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” 1 Peter 5:1-7

God Grants all of His Children Liberty in Non-Essentials

“Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.” Romans 14:4

Beware of those who infringe upon the God-given personal liberty granted to each individual born again believer (in non-essentials). Read Romans 14 and 15 to discover how the LORD instructs His people concerning judging other believers in non-essentials.

God is going to be working in the hearts and lives of His people till we are home with Him forever (John 15; Philippians 2:12-13; Psalms 138:8).

In Galatians 5:19-21 the apostle lists 17 soul damning sins. One of them is “witchcraft” which involves seeking to control another life other than your own. This is a soul worthy of eternal damnation. Oh and we are never to add to this list or that which is specifically named in Scripture as a sin against God.

“Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.”  2 Corinthians 1:24

Paul and those who ministered with him viewed their ministry calling as helping the joy in Christ of other saints – not usurping Christ’s place and exercising “dominion” over them.

Discerning Witchcraft in Leaders

“Witchcraft” is a Bible word and it has no bounds (Galatians 5:19-21).

“Witchcraft” or undue control of others, is found in the world and in the church world. One example is: The Galatians saints were “bewitched” by false leaders (judaizers) and brought into false doctrine – brought back under the law (Galatians 3:1).

Paul told them this was “another gospel,” and that those preaching it were “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) The apostle of Jesus then called them to get back in the Spirit, in the cross of Christ (Galatians 3:3). “Witchcraft” is a work of the flesh, not of the Holy Spirit, and is a soul-damning sin listed in Galatians 5:19-21. “Witchcraft” occurs when a person seeks to control another person – because they themselves are not giving control over to Christ in their own daily life. The person operating in control/witchcraft is not crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20). The Bible forbids seeking out witches, warlocks, etc. There is no such thing as a born again Christian who seeks Satan’s witches or warlocks for direction of any kind. Such is absolutely spiritual adultery. God will judge. “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3)

“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: 15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; 16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.” Exodus 34:14-16

Even the sending out prayers and breaking this and that over people can be witchcraft….. much of what is called “spiritual warfare” today in the apostate modern church is actually “spiritual witchcraft.” God will not deliver any person who will not turn their heart toward Him in real repentance (2 Corinthians 3:14-16; James 4:7). We should simply ask God in Jesus’ name and trust Him to do things and stay clear of adding to that simple Scriptural prescription. “Let your requests be made know unto God.” (Philippians 4:6)

Witchcraft Wielded Over the Rebellious

Because they Trust Mere Men, Many Today Forfeit the Blessing, the Healing, the Wholeness that the Great Physician Alone Can Grant God understands your sin? No He doesn’t! God understands that He crucified His only begotten Son to grant you His grace (divine ability) to overcome all sin – to the end of your life! (Matt 1:21; Jn 1:29; Tit 2:11-12; 1 Jn 3:8) Jesus died and rose again from the dead to give you the whole, complete victory over all sin in this world – and if you are still living in sin, you are hell bound (Rev 21:8).

Beware of the Manipulating Monsters: Spiritual Identity Theft [podcast]

Instead of fostering a deeper love for CHRIST in their hearers, local churches have diverted that loyalty, the faith of their hearers to themselves (1 Corinthians 29-2:5). This is “the spirit of antichrist” at work (1 John 2:18; 4:1-3). Anti  in “antichrist” means “in place of” and the vast majority of local churches seek to replace Christ with themselves – to intercept the heart affections of their audience from loving Jesus Christ supremely – to rob Him of His glory for their own self-serving agenda! Beware! This was Paul’s warning of Colossians 1-2. Christ alone is the Supreme Creator, Sustainer, […]
