Questions about witchcraft?

Question

Any christians, please help me to understand. Are there actually many people out there that are/ may be in control of powers given to them by satan? Do those people ask for it from satan or are they just being controlled by demons, or is that something totally different?

thanks so much, whynotaskdon, that basically answers my question. That is why I asked christians to answer, btw everyone, i do not hate anyone who is into witchcraft or anything like that, I just want to be VERY careful when I learn about these things and I am NOT out to seek how to get into this stuff (and im not bashing those who are) I am just saying.

Answer 1

not all which craft is bad, there is good whitch craft, and most importantly, its not from satan, its from other beings, they believe in different controlers of everything in nature, they believe in someone for the wind, and sky, and grass, and everything

Answer 2

These powers you are asking about don't come from satan or demons, not yet anyway.
People with a power to foresee the future or to know what others are thinking are not witches at all but have extra powers that most of us have but don't know how to use it. Have you ever known what someone was going to say before it was said? This is what I'm talking about and no demon or satan gave this "power" to any one, it's in all of us and some have it stronger than others because they know they have it and they use it. It's not a bad thing to have either and no you can't make someone disappear by wishing it to happen either, darn it anyway.
I hope this is what you were asking about and if not then I goofed and gave the wrong answer again.

Answer 3

Deception into what it is and ignorance of what the Bible says about witchcraft needs to be discussed here.

kashaph, kaw-shaf';
a primitive root; properly to whisper a spell, i.e. to inchant or practise magic :- sorcerer, (use) witch (-craft).
Witchcraft can be catagorized into three lists:
Intimidation
domination
manipulation
ANY one of these is a form of withcraft. All have one thing in common: control over another. This is against God's design of free will. That is why He hates it.
Yes, there is power that satan uses to get what he wants. Demons are satans followers who were cast from heaven and are determined to do everything opposite of God's will. Witchcraft, essentially, is rebellion against God.
1 Samuel 15:23
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.
NOTE: the original Hebrew says rebellion IS witchcraft, the denotion was added in the King James early writings.
It is the demons that are behind witchcraft, Ouiji Boards, "light as a feather," et al.
We are not to be ignorant of his devices, or he will take advantage of us (see 2 cor 2:11)

Answer 4

I am a Wiccan and I practice witchcraft. I do not belive in Satan and am not being controlled by demons. Witchcraft is basically using natural energies to acomplish a goal and is almost like concentrated prayer. Open a book and open your closed mind and you might actually learn something. Its people like you who make me afraid to tell people Im Wiccan. Blessed be.

Answer 5

Witchcraft has nothing to do with satan. It is basically so called natural magic using the elements of the earth. It is as basic as using fuel+heat+oxygen=fire! Back in the day people thought that was magic and called it the work of the devil. Don't underestimate the power of your true self in connection with this powerful world that God has created. The true religion is called Wicca= read about it!

Answer 6

We don't even believe in Satan, mate. And you're going to ask a CHRISTIAN about Witchcraft? How about asking a Witch or any Pagan? Wouldn't that make more sense. What is a Christian going to know about the lot of it?

Blessed Be!

Answer 7

Most people play with Wichcraft, Wicca, Satanism etc. much to the frustration of the true practicianer.

Satan is real and is waiting to join anyone who calls on him...he is not omnipreseint but his demon workers/fallen angels are available to carry messages to and from him.

These forces are not to be toyed with and CAN NOT be controled. Demons have no friends and will exploit anyone who has any contact with them.

People DO NOT CONTROL them. They only think they do.

DO NOT SEEK - you just might find.

Answer 8

The answer is in THE book. Look up Satan. You will not find Satan giving powers to anyone, that isn't his bag. Satan's gig is being too cocky. He's a smart ***. He's not a killer, he's not a thug, he doesn't give magical powers. He doesn't answer prayer. He's a petulant spoiled brat who came to think he was better than his dad, his creator. So dad kicked his *** out along with all his friends. Forget the powers thing. I tried it, still no lottery numbers.

Answer 9

If you are not born again through acceptance of Jesus being the one who died on the cross for your sins, you already belong to satan. Even those who say they are nutral are already on satans side. No one can be on the fence when it comes to which one they are going to worship. IF the power is of an evil nature, it is of satan, The power Christians have comes through the power of prayer and the Lord does the rest.

Answer 10

1st off, witchcraft DOES NOT FOLLOW SATAN.. Stop generalizing.. 2nd off, the only " special" powers we have are from the inside.. We are not being controlled by demons..WE DO NOT TALK TO SATAN, BECAUSE WE DON'T BELIEVE HE EXISTS... We just have alot more inner strength and ability to change things in our lives by using nature, ourselves,energy, and our beliefs... We do not feel the need to pray to some one else to fix our lives for us.. We TAKE CHARGE and do it ourselves... If any religion is being controlled by demons I would say it's the one were the priests MOLEST SMALL CHILDREN.. AND THE ONE RELIGION THAT TRIES TO AND HAS WIPED OUT OTHER RELIGIONS...

Answer 11

As a Christian I have to say that those who have not given their lives to Jesus Christ and trusted Him for salvation are under the control of satan (usually unbeknowest by them, but controlled nonetheless)

Now, that's not to say that non-Christians can't do good things according to the world's standards. However, the Bible says that man looks on the outward appearance but God looks on the heart. He alone can know our innermost thoughts and motives. The Bible says that "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Put another way, no one is perfect!

Unless you place your trust in God through Jesus Christ for salvation, you are living in sin and opening yourself to Satan and his minnions. This is not a popular statement, I know, but it's the truth.

Now, as for being controlled by Satan, there are people, most commonly known as psychics, who actively engage the spirit world, and this is NOT the spirit world you want to be involved with.

Most people who are actively controlled by demons now never asked for it to happen. Their involvement in witchcraft, spiritism or any of a number of occult practices gave those spirits a foothold in the person's life.

Please don't go down that path. . .
