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.

Does God change His mind?
65-0427 §35
And I told you I was going to quit at nine, and I looked up, and it's time now. And I got a book full of notes here. But I want to say this in closing, that God never changed His mind. His direct will was for Balaam not to go. And when God makes a statement it has to ever remain true. Now, the Bible said, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Now, that don't mean in a certain way, that means He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus said in St. John 14:12, "He that believeth on Me, the...

And then, 'course there was some of the great orthodox standing by that didn't believe this. And they had to answer to their congregation, and they said, "This man is Beelzebub. He has the spirit of Beelzebub [and Beelzebub was a devil, which is a fortune-teller, or a witch], and that's how he does that. It's a telepathy--that he reads their minds through witchcraft or something on that order--and this makes him a devil." Jesus had said to them that all manner of blasphemy shall be forgiven the son of men, except b...
Attitude and Who is God?

...what I'm talking about. Jesus judged a man a believer, a different type of a character. Jesus, the last Words that He said when He left the world, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." Is that right? "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be damned." Is that right? Now, every church will come that far, but what about the rest of it? He said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." Do you believe it? "These signs shall follow them that belie...

Like they claim that Pentecost, now, is something ... many of the people say it was something that was. And way years ago, two thousand years ago, they had a Pentecost, and the Holy Spirit fell upon the people, and they did great things. Well, now, you can't get warm by a painted fire. No, you'll freeze to death, see. That's just something that's painted. That's something that was. And if the God that was with them then isn't the same one today, then... Just like feeding your canary bird vitamins to give him good s...
Demonology

Now, when the Jews questioned (the 19th verse), He said, "Verily, verily." Now, you Catholic, in--in your translation, in the Douay translation, it says, "Amen, amen." And the real translation in the King James, from the original Greek, it says--it says, "Verily, verily," means, "Absolutely, absolutely, I say unto you, that the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise." Is that right? Now, how many knows the Bible said that? Raise your hand. Saint John 5. Right....
