* DAILY PRAYER DEVOTIONAL TUESDAY 30TH. JUNE 2026*

*THEME: WITCHES AND WIZARDS IN THE BIBLE*
*TEXT: Exodus 22:18*
*"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."*

*DAILY READING*
1 Samuel 28:3–20; Acts 8:9–24; Acts 13:6–12

WITCHCRAFT IS ANY PRACTICE REPLACING GOD

Few subjects generate as much fear in Africa as witchcraft. Many people have grown up hearing stories of mysterious attacks, unexplained deaths, repeated failures, strange dreams, spiritual manipulation, and families living under constant fear of witches and wizards. While some stories may be exaggerated or based on superstition, the Bible leaves no doubt that occult practices and witchcraft are real and are contrary to the will of God.

In Scripture, witchcraft is any attempt to gain supernatural power, knowledge, or influence apart from the living God. Those who practiced sorcery often relied on occult spirits rather than the Holy Spirit. God strongly forbade His people from participating in such practices because they lead people away from Him and into spiritual bondage.

The greatest weapon of witchcraft is not always physical harmβ€”it is deception. The enemy seeks to convince people that power, protection, wealth, healing, or success can be found outside God. Many are introduced to charms, secret societies, rituals, magical objects, or occult covenants with promises of prosperity or protection. What begins as curiosity can become lifelong bondage.

Without Christ, the effects can be devastating. A person may live in constant fear, experience spiritual oppression, lose the desire to pray, become enslaved to sinful habits, suffer broken relationships, and remain separated from God. Fear often replaces faith, darkness replaces truth, and hopelessness replaces peace. Whether through direct involvement or dependence on ungodly spiritual practices, the result is a life that moves further away from God's purpose.

For believers, the answer is not panic or revenge against those suspected of witchcraft. Our battle is spiritual, and our victory is found in Jesus Christ. He came to destroy the works of the devil, set captives free, and bring people into the Kingdom of God. No occult power is greater than the authority of Christ.

If you have ever been involved in witchcraft, consulted mediums, trusted charms, or lived in fear of evil powers, there is hope. Jesus Christ offers complete forgiveness, freedom, and a new beginning to everyone who turns to Him in sincere repentance and faith.

*ADDITIONAL BIBLE REFERENCES*

Deuteronomy 18:10–12
*"There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD."*

Galatians 5:19–21
*"Now the works of the flesh are manifest... idolatry, witchcraft... they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."*

Acts 19:19
*"Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men..."*

1 John 3:8
*"For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."*

Colossians 1:13
*"Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son."*

*KEY LESSONS*
1. The Bible condemns every form of witchcraft and occult practice.
2. Satan often disguises bondage as power, protection, or success.
3. Fear keeps many people in spiritual captivity.
4. True freedom is found only in Jesus Christ.
5. Every person can receive forgiveness and deliverance through genuine repentance and faith in Christ.

*PRAYER POINTS *

2. Abba Father, forgive me for every known and unknown involvement with ungodly spiritual practices.
3. Precious Holy Spirit, fill my heart with faith and remove every fear of the powers of darkness.
4. Every covenant with witchcraft, sorcery, divination, or occult powers affecting my life, break now, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
5. Every charm, enchantment, spell, or evil pronouncement working against me, be destroyed by the power of God, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
6. Every witchcraft manipulation against my health, family, ministry, finances, and destiny, be cancelled, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
7. Every monitoring spirit assigned against my progress, be blinded and cast out, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
8. Every evil altar speaking against my life, catch fire and be destroyed, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
9. Blessed Lord, surround me with Your divine protection and let Your angels watch over me continually.
10. Heavenly Father, let everyone trapped in occult practices encounter the saving power of Jesus Christ.
11. Precious Holy Spirit, make me bold to proclaim the Gospel and lead others into the freedom found in Christ.
12. I declare that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Deliverer. Every work of darkness against my life is destroyed, and I shall walk in victory all the days of my life, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

*PROPHETIC DECLARATION*
*I declare that every chain of darkness is broken by the authority of Jesus Christ. I renounce every work of the enemy and embrace the light of God's Kingdom. Fear shall not rule my life. Christ is my Deliverer, my Defender, and my Victory. I shall live in freedom, holiness, and divine purpose, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.*

*DAILY CONFESSION*
*I belong to Jesus Christ. I have been redeemed by His precious blood. I reject every work of darkness and every influence contrary to God's will. I walk in the light, power, peace, and victory of Christ. No weapon formed against me shall prosper because the Lord is my refuge and my salvation.*

*ACTION STEP*
*If there are any charms, occult objects, books, symbols, or items associated with ungodly spiritual practices in your possession, renounce them before God and remove them from your life. Read Acts 19:19 and ask the Lord to strengthen your commitment to Him alone.*
*MARANATHA: JESUS IS COMING SOON*
