Man is created in the image and likeness of God, Satan in his fall has bewitched the serpent, the most cunning of animals. the satanic duo (satan-serpent) will then bewitch Eve in order to get the better of Adam. So for there to be witchcraft, there must be an alliance of these three entities, namely the devil in an animal, and then both in a man. The Bible calls this demonic possession. Thus, demons enter a man’s body, possess him and make him capable of transforming into an animal of their alliance. The latter therefore becomes a sorcerer, in whom impure spirits dwell. During our teaching, we will talk about these satanic deviations.

• Man dominates (have power over) animals.
• Man has the power to subjugate (submit to, enslave) animals.
• Man is the representative of God on earth. He ensures the proper functioning of the earth and everything it forms.
• The animal became food for man and not the other way around (Gen 9:3-4).
• Man has power of life and death over animals and not the other way around (Gen 9:5/Ex 21:28).

When a man becomes a sorcerer and is transformed into an animal… (Deut 18:10-11) - When a man becomes a sorcerer, he demotes to the rank of demons (impure spirits).
– It becomes a habitation of impure spirits
– He is under the control and power of demons and carries out their wills and not his own
– He becomes inferior to men, because man is superior to the angels. - When a man turns into an animal
– It is under the power and control of man
– Man has the power of life and death over him
– He is no longer the representative of God on earth
– He is under the curse
– He demoted to the rank of animals
– He is no longer eternal and will now experience the fate of animals and fallen angels.
Conclusion:
It is therefore beneficial to give your life to the LORD JESUS CHRIST to be saved. The wrath of God to come is unbearable, and read in the Bible, the deplorable end of all those who served the devil before you, and know that no ungodly person will be able to escape, neither from wrath, nor from judgment, as well as ‘to the condemnation of God. Today, Christ extends his arms of love to you, ready to restore you from the disappointments that pushed you into the arms of witchcraft and magic. Amen! Read: 2chron 33:6/ Isaiah 2:6/ Acts 8:9-11.
