“Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be [in the meantime] in holy behavior [that is, in a pattern of daily life that sets you apart as a believer] and in godliness [displaying profound reverence toward our awesome God], [while you earnestly] look for and await the coming of the day of God. For on this day the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the [material] elements will melt with intense heat!” -1 Peter 3:11-12
“For rebellion is as [serious as] the sin of divination (fortune-telling), and disobedience is as [serious as] false religion and idolatry.” -1 Samuel 15:23
Witchcraft isn’t only just people dressing up and trying to cast spells and make potions and try and speak with demonic entities… it’s also rebellion, becoming addicted to drugs, and not listening to the authority that our Father has placed us under.
See what verses you can personalize to combat witchcraft coming from other people against your life, and to curb any witchcraft you might be indulging in by living your life in pride instead of submitting to His will.
Idolatry
“Sexual immorality began when idols were invented. They have corrupted human life ever since they were first made. Idols have not always existed, nor will they exist forever. It was human pride that brought them into the world, and that is why a quick end has been planned for them.” – Wisdom of Solomon 14:12-14
“He is not greater in this house than I am, nor has he kept anything from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin against God [and your husband]?” -Genesis 39:9
“Run away from sexual immorality [in any form, whether thought or behavior, whether visual or written]. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the one who is sexually immoral sins against his own body.” -1 Corinthians 6:18

Find out what an idol is in your life, and remove them with joy as you know He blesses those who tear down idols! “Now when all of this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah, and smashed the [pagan] pillars (obelisks, memorial stones) in pieces, cut down the Asherim (wooden symbols of a female deity), and tore down the high places and the altars [of idolatry] throughout all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the sons (descendants) of Israel returned to their own cities, each to his own property.” -2 Chronicles 31:1
