If an Enchantment or Divination Works Against a True Seed of God, What Is the Explanation?
1) Direct Answer
No spell truly works on a true seed walking in the Light. The Bible says, “Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel” and “No weapon formed against thee shall prosper.” If something seems to “work,” it is either a bluff and fear tactic, a door opened by disobedience, or a trial God Himself permitted—never the power of witchcraft overruling the Blood.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Numbers 23:23—Balaam could not curse whom God had blessed.
- Isaiah 54:17—No weapon formed shall prosper against God’s heritage.
- 1 John 5:18—He that is born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one touches him not.
- Luke 10:19—Authority over all the power of the enemy; “nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
- Galatians 3:13—Christ redeemed us from the curse.
- Colossians 2:15—Jesus spoiled principalities and powers.
- Proverbs 26:2—The curse causeless shall not alight.
- Job 1–2—Satan could not touch Job except by God’s permission and only within limits.
- Revelation 2:14; Numbers 25; 31:16—When Balaam couldn’t curse, he enticed to sin; judgment came from God because of Israel’s disobedience, not because enchantment had power over the covenant.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- If Balaam could have cursed God’s people, why did he have to lure them into sin? Because he had no power over the blessed. The only “inroad” is when people leave the Word and give place to the devil (Ephesians 4:27). Then consequences are God’s chastening, not the triumph of sorcery.
- Sometimes God permits a Job-like trial to glorify His Name. That is not divination conquering a believer; it is God proving His child and setting bounds on the enemy.
- Many “workings” are fear, suggestion, or coincidence misread as a curse. The Cross broke the legal right of every curse. Stay under the Blood, and the spell has no landing place.
Short Reinforcing Counsel
- Renounce and break all contact with occult things (Acts 19:19).
- Repent of any known sin; shut every door (James 4:7; 1 John 1:9).
- Stand on the Word, put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10–18), and speak the Name of Jesus.
Final Conclusion
For a true seed, no enchantment can prevail. If harm appears, it is either a lie of fear, a door opened by disobedience that calls for repentance, or a strictly limited trial permitted by God for His glory. The spell itself has no authority over the Blood-washed.

Now, people rally for the phenomenal. That's right. But I'm sometimes... It isn't clear in my mind yet, whether that should be that way or not. Now, for about ten years around the world, and every case, and everywhere, God has confirmed that to be the truth. I've stood before witch doctors, demons, smart, shrewd people that tried to falsify and everything else, but never one time but what God has overrode everything and come out victorious, proving Himself to be right. This picture right here of the Angel of the Lo...

But seemingly there's no one here." And as he snugs down there in the warm sunshine, he begins to kind of think things over. Do you like to get alone and think things over. I do. Just get away sometimes, I drive my car out, way out in the country and get back in the woods and turn the key off. And just go out and sit down o...

That's all contrary to God's Word! God said here in Genesis 1:11, "Let every seed bring of its kind, for the life is in itself. Let every seed bring of its kind." But man is trying to show that he is smarter than his Creator. He wants to prove that he knows more about this thing than God does. So therefore he's constantly, through science, trying to show God that he knows more about it than He does. And God just lets him go on through his scientific research. And in doing so, he kills himself. God lets his own igno...

"Here is what I am trying to say to you. The law of reproduction is that each specie brings forth after its own kind, even according to Genesis 1:11, "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, and the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so." Whatever life was in the seed came forth into a plant and thence into fruit. The very same law applies to the church today. Whatever seed started the church will come forth and be like th...
