A word of Knowledge: The Deception of Witchcraft

A word of Knowledge:

The Deception of Witchcraft

(Not what you think)


Deuteronomy 18:10-12 KJV

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, 

[11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 

[12] For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.


1 Samuel 15:23 KJV

For rebellion is as the sin of Witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. 

Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, He hath also rejected thee from being king.


Galatians 5:19-21 KJV

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; 

Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 

[20] Idolatry, WITCHCRAFT, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 

[21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: 

of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.


The greek for witchcraft is "pharmakeia" and is the root word for "Pharmacy".


Strong's Definition

From G5332; medication ("pharmacy") that is (by extension) magic (literal or figurative): - sorcery witchcraft.


Thayer's Definition

1. the use or the administering of drugs 

2. poisoning 

3. sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it 

4. metaph. the deceptions and seductions of idolatry


Usage by Word

sorceries (2), witchcraft (1)


In addition, the word "pharmakeia" is also being translated as "sorceries" in the book of Revelation.


Revelation 18:23-24 KJV

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy SORCERIES were all nations deceived. 

[24] And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.


By now, you should have an idea of what kind or form of "pharmakeia" is prevalent in this modern times. 

It may not have appeared simply as "witchcraft"  or "sorcery" to the modern world but the deception has now been unveiled.

The root word of the seemingly innocent "pharmacy" is "pharmakeia" which is witchcraft.


Matthew 24:24 KJV

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.


Brethrens, this is the end times spoken of by Jesus and the prophets. 

"Pharmakeia" has been used to show great signs and wonders to deceive and lead the world and even the very elect away from God and unknowingly going against God.


1 John 4:1-3 KJV

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 

[2] Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 

[3] And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.


Herein, "Pharmakeia" is one of that spirit of antichrist.


Matthew 13:9 KJV

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

A Real-life Deliverance Account

My sister and I had just done a deliverance on my mum yesterday (Tue, 28 Nov 2023).  It started when she kept vomitting and feeling very giddy and we laid hands upon her as usual according to the Word for divine healing.  However, it merely gave some relief to her, unlike other times as after a while, the extreme nauseousness and giddiness attacked her again. Then right around this point the demon took over her mind (soul) somewhat partially. The symptoms was that she looked dazed and kept repeating over and over again a number of questions like "Why am I sitting here" etc.  At this point when we talked to her, she did not remember anything that she did for the whole day (current time around 4pm+). It is very much like how a person with dementia would behaved and conversed.  To keep the long story short,  we took 2-3 hrs of casting out the demons in her and she is well now. Fast forward, It appeared that the demons came from H***i B***r (American Missionary) who...

Contending With the Devil

Contending With the Devil By Don Dickerman, People, Pigs and Principalities I think Christians make a mistake when they believe they have been given authority to challenge these powers in the heavenly realm.  I will simply ask,  “If we have that authority, why then does it not work? And why limit it to a particular location?”  If through a human being’s declaration to principalities and powers we can change their actions, why not extend it to the whole earth?  I have never seen a positive result from Christians engaging in spiritual warfare with heavenly realm powers. I have seen the opposite happen with churches dissolving, ministries crumbling, and individuals suffering sickness and multitudes of difficulties.  Our God-given authority has to do with individuals—it is to pray for nations, not against principalities and powers.  Jesus sent His disciples to the people, not against heavenly realm powers.  He did not bind the evil prince of Jerusalem; ins...

A word of Knowledge: Easter?

Image
A word of Knowledge: Easter? The Origin of Easter Easter {or the feast of Ishtar) actually originated as an ancient pagan celebration of the spring equinox and the renewal of life. In Christianity, the day was dedicated to observing the resurrection of Jesus Christ, celebrated around the time of the Jewish Passover. However, it is the Resurrection Day we are celebrating and nothing at all to do with the pagan day Easter.  The Church has sadly been making the grievous error of celebrating the "Resurrection Day"  as "Easter" .  Let us look at how the word Easter was used in Scripture. Acts 12:3-4 KJV And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) [4] And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.  This is the only place where the word "Easter" was used and i...
