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.

"Here is what I am trying to say to you. The law of reproduction is that each specie brings forth after its own kind, even according to Genesis 1:11, "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, and the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so." Whatever life was in the seed came forth into a plant and thence into fruit. The very same law applies to the church today. Whatever seed started the church will come forth and be like th...

Now comes this very good question I know that you are all anxious to ask. Why isn't the manifestation an evidence of being baptized with the Holy Ghost, because you surely could not manifest the Holy Ghost unless you truly were Spirit-filled? Now I wish I could say that is right, because I don't like to hurt people or walk on their doctrine; but I wouldn't be a true servant of God if I didn't tell you the whole counsel of God. That is right, is it not? Just let us take a little look at Balaam. He was religious, he...

Here is where we receive the true revelation of the 'Serpent's seed.' Here is what really happened in the Garden of Eden. The Word says that Eve was beguiled by the serpent. She was actually seduced by the serpent. It says in Genesis 3:1, "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made." This beast was so close to a human being (and yet was pure animal) that he could reason and talk. He was an upright creature and was somewhat in between a chimpanzee and a man, but closer to...

Just to seal this point on the True and false vines mingling and demonstrating the two spirits that are at work, let us look into I John 4:1-4, and Jude 3, 4, 12. "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is tha...

But now He is standing in the midst of the Church. As He stands there revealing Who He is in this last age, He calls Himself the "Author of the creation of God". This is ANOTHER CREATION. This has to do with the church. This is a special designation of Himself. He is the CREATOR of that church. The heavenly Bridegroom created his own bride. As the Spirit of God, He came down and created in the virgin Mary the cells from which His body was born. I want to repeat that. He created the very cells in the womb of Mary fo...
