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.

Now then, I think there is something else you ought to know. The seven churches which are addressed by John are in Asia Minor and are all Gentile churches. He does not speak to the church at Jerusalem which was mostly Jewish with perhaps just a few Gentiles in it. The reason is that God had turned from the Jews to the Gentiles. Thus the whole of the church ages is God dealing with the Gentiles, and calling out a Gentile Bride to Himself. That makes the 'Church Ages' and 'The Fulness of the Gentiles' the one and the...

The Holy Spirit In Every Age Revelation 2:11, "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." There is not one church age where this verse is not mentioned. Every single age has the same admonition to the people of every age. "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith." But it is absolutely impossible for all men to hear what the Spirit says to the different ages. I Corinthians 2:6-16, "Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world,...

Now let us stand like Joshua and Caleb. Our promised land is coming in sight even as theirs did. Now Joshua means "Jehovah Saviour", and he represents the end-time leader that will come to the church even as Paul came as the original leader. Caleb represents those that stayed true with Joshua. Remember, God had started Israel as a virgin with His Word. But they wanted something different. So did the last day church. Notice how God did not move Israel, or let her go into the promised land until it was His own appoin...

But the Jews back there in the time of Jesus did not want to accept that sacrifice. The blood of bulls and goats made nothing perfect. It was once God's ordained method. But now Christ having appeared in the flesh, and by the shedding of His own blood has put away sin and by that offering of Himself has made us perfect. The Jews would not take that. But what about that Philadelphian Age, and, yes, the other ages, too? Did they really accept this reality in Christ? No sir. Even though Luther brought the truth of jus...

But to go on. These elect were not only the eternal thoughts of God which were to be expressed in flesh in their due season, but these same elect are called by another name. Romans 4:16. "Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all." Romans 9:7-13, "Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, in Isaac shall...
