Victory Over Witchcraft | Bishop Kyle Searcy

 VICTORY OVER WITCHCRAFT


Deuteronomy 18:10

the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a

sorcerer,

Galatians 5:19-21

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness,

lewdness, 20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, contentions, Jealousies, wrath, strife, seditions,

heresies, 21  envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand,

just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the

kingdom of God

I. CHRIST THE VICTOR

5. Creation

Luke 10:17-20

17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your

name.” 18  And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19  Behold, I give you

the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and

nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20  Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are

subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.

Colossians 2:14-15

14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to

us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15  Having disarmed

principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it

Matthew 16:18-19

18  And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates

of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19  And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and

whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be

loosed in heaven.

Matthew 22:44

44 ‘The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”’?

Acts 16:16-18

16 Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with

a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-

telling. 17  This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the

servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” 18  And

this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the

spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he

came out that very hour.

1 Kings 19:1-3

1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the

prophets with the sword. 2  Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So

let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one

of them by tomorrow about this time.” 3  And when he saw that, he arose and ran

for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant

there.

Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.”
