Isn’t magic/witchcraft an outdated topic? Why then is it that when Jesus gave it to me is he called it a “modern topic”?


This illuminating chapter will deal with all the ways modern magic and witchcraft are manifesting today, in plain sight, in ways we don’t even know. It will address aspects like:


· Why God is so against magic/witchcraft.

· Magic in our modern age in areas like Astrology, QAnon (and similar conspiracy theories), Wicca, New Age and even Self Help.



I have no known experience with the occult, and I never wanted to deal with this topic but I am commanded by my Lord to deal with the supernatural and more so, he has given me power, as do all spirit-filled Christians, over all forces of the devil. The Bible says:


I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. Luke 10: 19 (NIV).


The closest I have probably come to magic/witchcraft in real life is about 20 years ago in Africa when I was a prodigal son. I found in a certain house of someone close to me, a basket hidden in a cupboard.


In this basket was a cow’s hoof, a red cloth with needles and some money. I can’t recall if it also had fetishes and charms.


I was so angry, I went and burnt the stuff while shouting, “In the NAME OF JESUS.” I later confronted the person and they told me it was for a “good purpose” to protect someone from their CO-WIFE who was bewitching them and causing them to literally run mad.


“Good magic/witchcraft” to protect someone from “bad witchcraft”? This is one of the lies Jesus wants me to tell you about for he says: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? (Matthew 12:26).


All magic is from Satan yet the lie we believe as perpetrated by many popular shows, movies and books is that somehow there is “good magic”, perhaps from God and then “bad or dark magic” from Satan. This is not true as I will show you, because the God of the universe doesn’t do magic. Miracles are not magic.


He also commands me to cover it in this season as I am fulfilling what Jesus started to do: to set the captives free. Jesus delivered this message when he began his ministry:


“The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Luke 4: 18-19 (NIV).


He wants his people to be free – so they can experience mountain moving faith, which is what this book is about.


To confirm his call to me in this area, he has also shown me in dreams/visions things taking place presently and, in the future, around me in relation to this area. However, before I start tacking this subject, let me start by laying the foundation in the Bible.


In the beginning… Satan was a liar


In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. He separated the light from the darkness.


In the beginning the prince of the darkness, Satan, pretended to be an angel of the light. He came to the light and lied to Adam and Eve, but the lie was not fully a lie. The Bible shows this:


Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’? “The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3: 1- 4 (NIV).


The woman ate the fruit and then gave it to her husband who was besides her.


The serpent, that ancient dragon also called Satan actually told her the truth in some ways. For example:


· Half Truth 1. He told her “You will not die”. This was partially true. After they ate the fruit, they did not immediately drop dead but Satan has always been concerned about only the things of this world. He was indicating that they wouldn’t die physically but he deceived them. He didn’t tell them that they would immediately die spiritually – which is what happened and then he didn’t tell them that spiritual death brings physical death. Why? Because the Bible says this about the beginning:


“By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.” Hebrews 11:3 NLT


Humans were created in the same essence as God that is, his Spirit whom he breathed into them and thus they became living. The breath here (the Hebrew word is “Ruach”) wasn’t just physical breath, but also spiritual breath – that’s why the Spirit is called the “breath of God”. God is Spirit and when Adam and Eve sinned, they lost the “breath of God” and thus died spiritually and this is what then brought later physical death for it’s the spirit that sustains the physical – not the other way round, as our science driven world thinks.


·Half Truth 2. Satan also told Eve: “you will be like God, knowing good and evil”. This was partially true for in Genesis 3:22, God himself confirmed this as the Bible notes: Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil.”


So, Satan did tell a partial truth, indeed man became like God, knowing good and evil. The difference is that man now knew evil personally, for evil was now in him! By comparison, God knows good and evil, but he has never been infected with it. This was the lie – a lie about God and about who they would become.


Because Satan has always been a deceiver, we should not be surprised if we hear truth from him, even accurate information. Why? Because his true intent is not to tell you the truth, so as to set you free (as Jesus) but to tell you a half-truth (or even a full truth) but ultimately so he can steal, kill and destroy (John 10: 10). He starts by stealing your peace and truth, then he kills your relationship with God and then he destroys your body and soul when he takes you to hell.


Many of us think that if we hear the truth, for example from a medium or a witchdoctor, then they must be “good”. This is part of Satan’s lies for he can indeed speak truth, but with an ulterior motive as I have mentioned and there are many examples in the Bible to confirm this such as the one below:


One day as we were going down to the place of prayer, we met a slave girl who had a spirit that enabled her to tell the future. She earned a lot of money for her masters by telling fortunes. She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, and they have come to tell you how to be saved.” This went on day after day until Paul got so exasperated that he turned and said to the demon within her, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And instantly it left her. Acts 16: 16 – 18 (NLT)


We see here that this slave girl with this spirit of divination, was speaking the truth – that Paul and his associates were servants of God and were there to tell others how to get saved. But there was an ulterior motive. The spirit was ultimately about amassing money for her masters and was likely also causing these masters to be respected and feared – instead of fearing the living God.


This is why Jesus who tells you the Truth that sets you free (John 8: 32) declared that Satan was a liar from the beginning of the world – and the father of lies (John 8: 44). Knowing that Satan is the father of lies and often masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11: 14). Knowing that he doesn’t play fair but will take you to hell, means you sit up and learn all the wiles of the enemy – these are the wiles I am revealing in this topic by shining the Light of Jesus on this darkness.
