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.

CAB 5:E-28
Now let me tell you, I was shocked. How could I not be? Here were two men, one of which was a real believer and the other was a sinful impersonator. YET BOTH WERE MANIFESTING GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT. I was troubled by this confusion. I left the meeting to seek God for the answer. I went alone to a secret place and there with my Bible I prayed and waited on God for the answer. Not knowing just what portion of Scripture to read I casually opened the Bible to some place in Matthew. I read for a while and then laid the Bib...

So Satan said, "Now, I know the Word." I know that he knowed the Word when he come to Eve. So he had it by head knowledge, but it wouldn't work.

He knowed that He was a predestinated creature of God, that God Himself was manifested in Him. It wasn't Him doing the works, it was Father that dwelt in Him. Amen! Let the devil fly w...

Now, listen. Does not the Bible say that in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God ... and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us? Now, to you Bible readers, does not the book of Hebrews tell us, in the fourth chapter, that the Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing to the ... sunder of the marrow of the bone, and a discerner of the thoughts of the heart? The Word. And when the living Word, which is Christ, comes into our midst, is not it still a discerner o...

Then you... The devil will punch at you, and he'll say everything to you and accuse you and try to make you think that you're not, but don't you listen to him. Now, you know you've passed from death unto life, you know the things that you once loved you don't love no more, you know that you have believed every word of God. You've seen God working right among us with infallible proofs that He is the great I AM. You've noticed that ever what has been said in his name ... never has one thing been prophesied in his nam...
