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.

The End-time Sign Seed
62-0319 §19
A very odd little scripture reading... When you go home, I'd like for you to read the chapter. Amos, the 3rd chapter, and the 7th verse---odd, strange setting for the text. But you know, God does things kind of strange and odd; works in peculiar ways, mysterious ways, his wonders to perform. Amos 3:7: Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Now, the text that I would like to use is this: The "End-Time Sign Seed." And as I've just told you yesterday, preaching...
Oneness

So the seed that was in her then was a union of a unlawful act, which was death. She was already pregnated with the serpent's seed, 'cause she had lived with the... And she turned and said, herself, "The serpent beguiled me." That's right. And immediately, Cain come on. Oh, we know she said she got a child from God. Certainly, every child that's born, illegitimate and anything else, has to come by an act of God. He's the only One Who can make life. Certainly. That is right. See, she was already to be mother. And th...
And then Jesus came
57-1213 §56
You know, friends, Jesus never said, "Go into all the world and build churches." They're all right. He never said, "Go, build schools." They're all right. But where we failed, He said, "Preach the Gospel." The Gospel isn't building churches or schools---though they're fine---but the Gospel come not in word only but through power and demonstrations of the Holy Spirit, is the Gospel. It's a living Gospel, not enchanting words, but a living faith in the Lord God, who is alive forevermore among us. Now, if He is alive...
Possessing the enemy's gates

In the church of the living God, this morning, lays the power to heal all sickness. In the church of the living God lays power to overcome all temptation. In the possession of the church of the living God, this morning, lays the power to change sin and throw it away, and receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, in the church of Jesus Christ. "Whatsoever you desire, ask in my name and it shall be given to you. A little while and the world (not seed; the unregenerated seed) will see me no more. Yet you'll see me, for I...
Looking at the unseen
58-1003 §50
Lord, You see their hands, and may the Holy Ghost, which has now told them to raise their hands, may He come and set them free from the vibrations of the world, till they could get beyond the paralyze charm of the serpent, that the snake bite of sin, the enchantments of this modern world will not lure them any longer. May they raise their eyes to Christ just now and receive Him as their Saviour, and we will praise Thee. In Jesus' name we pray. And now before we call for the sick and the afflicted, is there some in...
