SPIRITUAL WARFARE- GOODMORNING

SPIRITUAL WARFARE…Satan & his Agents

The possibility of the presence of witchcraft in the church:

Ps 74:3-4, 7
“Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs. 7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.”

These verses prove that it is possible for the enemies of the gospel to come into God’s house and set up their operations. According to this passage, the operations are wicked in nature, “the enemy hath done wickedly in thine sanctuary.” That alone confirms the point I am trying to make. The enemy could not be said to do wicked acts in the sanctuary if he is not in it. They come into God’s house with strange fire, burning and destroying anything in their path.

Jeremiah also intimates us of the possibility of practitioners of witchcraft as being in the church. In Jer 5:26, we read: “For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.”

Among God’s people, where the Bible is read and the word is taught. Where they worship God in Spirit and in truth, where they sing his praise and do his work. Jeremiah wrote that among them are found those who worked wickedness. They join God’s people as if they also belong to God but they are not. They may talk the language of God’s people but the Bible brands them as wicked, not righteous people.

It is worthy of note that in the King James, Version, the word “men” is in italics, meaning that it was not in the original manuscripts. It then means that the word inserted could very well be replaced with women. Witchcraft in the church is perpetrated by both men and women.>

What is the mission of these people in God’s house? Jeremiah tells us:
“…they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.”

I pray that your church will be so much on fire for the Lord that your place of worship will be too hot for agents of witchcraft to hide. I also pray that you will be so much on fire for God that no manipulation of witchcraft will be able to touch you.

From the book of Job, we also learn that it is possible for those who practice witchcraft to mingle with God’s people.
In Job 1:6 we read:
“Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.”

It should not be looked upon as a thing unheard of when Satan and his agents gather together with God’s people. It is a practice that has been in place for a long time. They read Bible with them, they sing the same songs with them, join the choir, join the working team and even become the pastor’s personal assistant, if possible. They are not God’s people, they are representatives of Satan.
