Biblical passage: Nahum 3:1-5
The coven, which is the operational base of witchcraft, is characterized by many evil activities. It is indeed the dark place of the earth and as such full of lies, thefts and tortures.

In addition to this, our biblical text says that they shoot spears and swords at the victims, resulting in a multitude of casualties and deaths. This explains why you sometimes dream of being shot with a gun or spear only to wake up and feel terrible pain in the same place.

What happens in the spiritual realm manifests physically. Some people we see who are physically ill have been afflicted by the coven and such illness often defies medical solution. It takes divine knowledge, backed by fasting and prayers to recover from such afflictions.

Again, many of the people we see moving around have long since been killed in the coven; they are just waiting for an incident to fall physically dead. The scripture says that horsemen stumble over corpses and the haste with which they commit their atrocities is very alarming. Indeed, each member of a coven is assigned a quota, which must be reached within a given time. You can see why in certain seasons, particularly at the end of the year, the recorded mortality rate is abnormally high. In the coven, they feed on human blood and flesh. You don’t have to play with witchcraft; it is man’s public enemy number one. If you also discover that you have symptoms of witchcraft within you, don’t hide it, take the time to fast and pray, and possibly seek help from a true spirit-filled man of God.

When witchcraft takes place in certain families, it drives them to prostitution as we see in the fourth verse of our text. As they have sexual contact with an increasing number of people, they spread witchcraft. Ladies are almost never satisfied with just one husband, they normally bear children for different men. These children in turn also spread witchcraft. The powers manipulate them and they are never satisfied with just one man.

In doing so, they sell their families to witchcraft. These powers ensure that there is a wizarding representative in each family in order to maintain their agenda. If that representative leaves, either by relocation or death at an advanced age, they ensure that another person is recruited and initiated into the coven. That’s why you have to guard your children and your own soul, watch what you eat and drink. Trust no one, even your loved ones, and be spiritually alert.

They target and initiate those who are spiritually weak. Initiation can be through food, drink, sweets given to you, and even your own food when they eat with you in public. This can also be done through eye contact; You must be careful.

A lady was distressed on her wedding day by eye contact. The initiation came through the piece of cake she watched and ate during her wedding. She then suffered from pain and sickness for a few years until she met me in one of our deliverance services where God revealed everything to her and she was delivered.

Another way people can be initiated is through their dreams. You must pray very well, especially for your children before going to bed. Maybe you could anoint them every night. Witchcraft powers could go as far as suppressing the memory of your dreams to ensure that you have no record of your dream activities, leading to what is known as the “blind witch”.

Initiation can also be done through the sharing of personal effects like clothes, underwear, shoes, and even weaves. Let go of all that and when you buy a new one, pray over it before use.
