Whenever you stand to preach the word and the Holy Spirit directs you otherwise, maybe to teach instead, and you decide to ignore his voice and do your own thing, you get into legalism, which is another way of manifesting charismatic witchcraft. Anywhere the Holy Spirit is not in operation, what you are doing is charismatic witchcraft, legalism which means to run a place with set rules in order to obtain divine endorsement.
If people can do it by self righteous rule-keeping there wouldn’t have been need for God to send his Son to die. That was why Jesus had very harsh words for the Pharisees because they were caught in this web. They never expected Jesus to come the way he came. God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise (1 Cor. 1:27).
There was witchcraft in the Galatian Church! They were busy doing “Church” when witchcraft entered. That is exactly what happens when the fire of the presence of God is not present to keep the wild beasts away. It comes surreptitiously and it manifests to further the interest of their father, the devil. God gets his job done on earth through righteous authorities empowered by the Holy Spirit. The devil gets his job on earth done by unrighteous authorities empowered by the spirit of witchcraft.
We need to have a fellowship that is managed by the Holy Spirit and filled with people who align with him, people who are ready to make heaven, ready for the rapture and tuned to the frequency of the Holy Ghost. One of the things the devil is doing today is populating the Church with satan’s crowd. It takes a lot of courage to say no to satan’s crowd, occultists in the Church who think that Church is set up for money making.
The heart of man is incredibly wicked. You must ensure that there is no wickedness in your heart.
This is our year of strategic divine positioning.
“The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”Psalm 110:1, KJV
We are seated in Christ Jesus above principalities, powers, rulers of darkness of this world. Anyone who tries to pull down someone who is seated above will harvest judgment. The end time army will be on their lanes. They will not break ranks. And when they fall upon the sword, it will not hurt them.
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of stronghold) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ, And having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is complete.”2 Corinthians 10:3-6, KJV
What makes our weapons of warfare mighty? Divine connection! If God be for us, who can be against us (Rom. 8:31). That is why you must not allow anyone to demote or devalue you. Devaluation is a terrible thing.
