The Enemies We Face Pt. 9

Derek Prince examines divination, or fortune-telling, as the "knowledge" aspect of witchcraft, illustrating it through Acts 16:16-18, where a slave girl with a "python spirit" accurately proclaimed Paul and Silas as servants of the Most High God, yet was delivered because her power came from a divining spirit rather than from God. He highlights how this deliverance stirred satanic opposition in the heavens, causing riots, and links this to Paul's later reference to "a messenger of Satan" in 2 Corinthians, suggesting genuine revival often provokes real spiritual conflict.

Prince then explores sorcery as operating through objects, potions, music, and drugs, citing Revelation 9:20-21 to show its close connection with idolatry, immorality, and violence in society. Turning to witchcraft within the church, he examines Galatians 3:1-5, where Paul rebukes the "bewitched" Galatians for allowing a satanic influence to obscure the revelation of Christ crucified, leading them from grace into carnality and legalism despite having received the Holy Spirit and witnessed miracles.
