Introduction
Bewitching, in biblical language, refers to deception, spiritual manipulation, false teachings, occult practices and attempts to turn people away from God’s truth. Scripture assures believers that no curse, manipulation or spiritual opposition can overturn God’s purpose for those who belong to Him.
Our warfare is not against human beings. We stand against evil through the victory of Jesus Christ, the power of God’s Word, prayer and the leading of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 6:10–18).
Pray these prayers with faith, remembering that Christ has already triumphed over the powers of darkness.
