HOW WITCHCRAFT TARGETS VOICES, LEADERS, AND WOMEN IN AUTHORITY

Witchcraft does not just attack power… It attacks influence.

It attacks:

– people who move people.

– voices that shift atmospheres.

– anything that threatens control.

1. THEY TARGET THE VOICE

The enemy knows your voice carries authority… Proverbs 18:21, “death and life are in the power of the tongue.”

So if he can’t stop what God put in you, he’ll try to silence how it comes out of you.

He’ll try to:

– make you second-guess yourself.

– make you overthink every post, sermon, decision, word.

– make you feel like, “It’s not worth it.”

– wear you out until you go quiet.

Because if your voice goes quiet, your assignment slows down.

That is why you feel the most resistance right before you speak truth. That’s not random… That’s warfare.

2. THEY TARGET LEADERS THROUGH ISOLATION & DISTORTION

Leaders are not always attacked directly. Sometimes the attack comes through:

– Confusion

– Misunderstanding

– Offense

– False narratives

– People twisting what you said and acting like you said something you never said.

Zechariah 13:7, “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.” THAT is still a strategy!

If the enemy can isolate the leader, distort the leader, and make the leader feel like they have to explain everything, then the leader stops leading.

Witchcraft wants you self-monitoring instead of Spirit-led.

But you cannot lead effectively when you are controlled by the fear of being misunderstood.

3. THEY TARGET WOMEN IN AUTHORITY

Let’s call a thing a thing… Women in authority have always been a target.

Throughout Scripture we see that the enemy has always hated women who carry influence, obedience, and authority. Why? Because women in authority disrupt illegal control.

So what happens?

– They attack her character.

– They question her motives.

– They call her emotional.

– They call her controlling.

– They call her too much.

– They attack her credibility because they cannot handle her content.

– And then they misuse Scripture to try to silence what God actually authorized.

If she was ineffective, she would be ignored.

The fact that she is being targeted means somebody recognizes what she carries.

4. THEY TARGET TIMING

Witchcraft does not just attack obedience… It attacks timing.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says there is a season for everything.

So watch when the pressure comes…

– Right before the release.

– Right after the breakthrough.

– When visibility increases.

– When obedience starts costing something.

– When God starts opening doors.

That is when:

the backlash comes.

the accusations come.

the distractions come.

the pressure comes to shrink, soften, delay, or go quiet.

BUT THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!

Do not shrink!

Do not go silent!

Do not let accusation make you abandon your assignment!

Stay submitted to God.

Stay in the Word.

Stay covered in prayer.

Stay clean in your spirit.

AND KEEP SPEAKING TRUTH!
