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 Seed is not heir with the shuck

Here we are presented with a picture though. The seed started, the seed of promise started, in a slightly doubted doubt of the original promise. See how it starts low in doubt in the original promise? God promised Abraham through Sarah to have this child. But now watch, the first seed of Abraham by the bondwoman come by Sarah doubting that this could happen, because she was old and passed the age of bearing. Now, that's how the church starts. That's how it always starts. You start from the bottom. You don't start f...

Some of our churches are getting to the place they deny. They deny divine healing. They don't want it in their church anymore. That's right. Our Pentecostal organizations don't want no more divine healing. What is it? Don't you see how the devil's worked? He's got around there, and said some bogus things along like that, and just intellectual men thinking they're spiritual, and look at that. And say, "Look at that one. Look at that one." I ain't looking at that. If you're Abraham's seed, you'll look at the promise...

...took this stick and went down there, and took that nation out of a nation. When he come with a stick in his hand and told Pharaoh, "Let them go," Pharaoh seen in Moses the works, that he had faith in what he was going to do, or trying to do. He had faith in the promise of the God that had made the promise. He went down to take it over. No other man would have done that, and no other man could have done it. He was ordained to do it. God, beforehand, had told Abraham that that's just what would happen. And when the...
