Does God Let Witch and Wizard Attack Spells Work on the New Testament Believer?
1) Direct Answer
No. A true New Testament believer, walking in the Word and under the Blood of Jesus Christ, cannot be conquered by witchcraft, spells, or curses. The devil may try to harass, but he cannot cross the Blood line. God does not permit enchantments to prevail over His covenant people.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- “Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel” (Numbers 23:23). If Balaam couldn’t curse a people under God’s covenant, much less can a spell bind those in Christ.
- “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law” (Galatians 3:13). Redemption breaks the legal ground of every curse.
- “Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
- “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17).
- “Behold, I give unto you power… over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19).
- “In my name shall they cast out devils” (Mark 16:17).
- “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).
- “He that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not” (1 John 5:18).
- “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony” (Revelation 12:11).
- Sorcerers could not withstand the apostolic authority: Elymas was judged (Acts 13:8–12); Simon’s sorcery could not impart the Holy Ghost (Acts 8:9–24).
- The Passover type shows it: “When I see the blood, I will pass over you” (Exodus 12:13). The enemy cannot enter where the token is applied.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Witchcraft is of the devil. Jesus spoiled principalities and powers (Colossians 2:15). If the stronger Man has bound the strong man, the strong man’s tools cannot rule the house that belongs to Christ.
- Spells require a foothold. Scripture says, “Neither give place to the devil” (Ephesians 4:27). Unbelief, willful sin, fear, and dabbling in occult things open doors to oppression. But that is not the spell’s “power”; it’s the person yielding ground. Close the door, and the devil must go.
- God’s order for protection is clear:
- Submit to God, then resist the devil (James 4:7).
- Put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10–18).
- Renounce and destroy occult materials and agreements (Acts 19:18–19).
- Stand and speak the Word in Jesus’ Name (Luke 10:19; Mark 16:17).
- If spells truly worked on the believer, Balaam’s curse would have stood. But the Bible says the opposite: “He hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it” (Numbers 23:20). What God has blessed, the devil cannot bind.
4) Short Reinforcing Statement
Now notice, the Blood is the line the enemy cannot cross. Stay under the Blood, stay in the Word, refuse fear, and use the Name of Jesus. No enchantment can prevail against a believer sealed with the Holy Spirit.

Wisdom versus Faith
62-0401 §184
Now, if Jesus knew who He was... He was a predestinated creature of time. You believe that? Jesus, the body, He knew that He was the predestinated Word, the person of God that was to stand in that day to be the sacrifice for sin. And He knew His adversary (as I preached on a couple Sundays ago), He knew His adversary, and He knew who He was; therefore, those two great forces come together, knowledge and faith. Jesus knew who He was. Satan knew the Bible as good as Jesus did, but it wouldn't work for Satan. No matte...

"I know thy works." These are the identical words uttered to each of the seven messengers relative to the people of God in each age. As they are spoken to the two vines (true and false) they will bring joy and gladness to the hearts of one group, but they ought to strike terror in the hearts of the other. For though we are saved by grace, apart from works, true salvation will bring forth works, or deeds that will please God. I John 3:7, "Little children, let no man deceive you; he that DOETH (worketh) righteousness...

There's only two classes of people spoke of in the New Testament, the children of God and the children of the devil. Did you know that? Do you want to put a Scripture down for it? I John 3:10, if you want the scripture. I'm reading it right here, got it wrote out. All right. All right. In Ephesians 2:2, they are called the children of disobedience, like Eve was, disobedient to God's Word. The children of obedience and disobedience have nothing in common. Then how can the bride of Christ associate in a denomination...
Does God ever change His mind about His Word?

But what happened? Balaam, he succeeded in weakening Israel. What did he do? He weakened their camp. God let him go and weaken their camp, and it polluted the whole camp. And when some doctrine starts that's not the Bible truth, it pollutes the whole camp. Somebody raise up with a different idea, like Korah, and say, "Well, this, that, and the other, and I've got a different idea," it pollutes the whole camp. And that's what's done the whole church camp today. That's right! Teaching, as he did, weakening the whole...

God looketh on the heart. That has never changed. Neither will it ever change. Here, as through all the ages there are two groups, both proclaiming their revelation from God and their relationship to God. "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them which are His." II Timothy 2:19. "The Lord searcheth the reins." The word 'search' means to 'track' or 'follow up.' God tracks down our thoughts (reins); He knows what is in our hearts. He sees our works which are a definite...
