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.

The greatest battle ever fought
62-0311 §177
Now in closing, I want to say this: that old devil, now you think he's brazen; you think he'll attack a child? He'll attack anything; he attacked Jesus Christ. He come at Him with three wild attacks. Did you know that? Satan didn't just only attack once. He attacks you with a disease, then here he'll come back and attack and tell you, "The days of miracles is past. You didn't get healed; there's nothing to it." You know that's right? He attacked Jesus three time. Three wild attacks he run in on Jesus with his unbel...
Token

Now, remember, Hebrews, 13:10-20, a "everlasting covenant." God's Blood-bound promise makes us free from sin. Amen! There is no sin in Him. Sin, self, flesh. Worship Him, and show forth His promised power. God's Blood-bound, Token-bound covenant people, has the Spirit of Jesus Christ in here that "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do, shall he do also." Displaying the covenant, see. New Testament, "testament" means covenant. That is right, isn't it Dr. Vayle? Testament means covenant. The New Testament mean...
God's Word calls for a total separation from unbelief

But now, as I have said this, in vindication of what has been said, let us just bow our heads just a moment. You that's praying and you're sick and do not have prayer cards, you pray and say something like this: "Lord Jesus, I know the Bible says that the prayer of faith shall save the sick; God shall raise him up. And it's also said that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." If He is the same, well then, He will have to act the same, do the same. And then again, the Bible said that the Word of G...

These Midianites and Amorites, and so forth, had all come over and eat up all their land. And so the enemy had challenged, and he must be met! Their armies couldn't do it, and their priests couldn't do it, and their churches couldn't do it. So, it took the Word of God to meet his challenge. The enemy speaks today. The enemy tries to say that the days of miracles is past, that there is no such a thing as the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and this is only emotion, it's only a work-up. So the enemy has challenged, and h...

Notice, the new offer blinded him. He ought to have knowed what God said, God will do. But it blinded him. And as a prophet of God, he should have not been influenced by such a group. He should have got out of that group to begin with. And if I'm talking to some man of God here, when they try to tell you at the headquarters that the days of miracles is past, and this what we're doing here, and the Lord Jesus is blessing us, and that's a bunch of fanaticism, work-up, and emotion, and there is no such a thing as divi...
