We understand your concern and stand with you in prayer against the influences of witchcraft, especially as portrayed in media such as the movie "The Descendants." The Bible is clear that we should avoid all forms of sorcery and witchcraft, as they are detestable to God. Let us come together in His Holy Name, Jesus Christ, and pray for deliverance and protection.
Take note of the following scriptures from WEB:
Acts 19:19 Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver. This is a clear example of turning away from witchcraft and the importance of renouncing it.
Galatians 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies. The use of sorcery and witchcraft is listed among the works of the flesh.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or someone who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh.
Let us pray in Jesus' name:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your protection and deliverance. We rebuke the influences of witchcraft, especially as portrayed in media like "The Descendants." We pray that You would shield our minds and hearts from such influences and help us to discern and avoid all forms of evil. Please point out this evil in the world so we can avoid it.
We pray for those who may be affected by witchcraft, and for the family members of the cast who may be affected by these evil roles, that You would set them free and bring them to the knowledge of Your truth. We pray for the writers, producers, and cast members that they would acknowledge the evil themes in this movie and reject their acting roles. We ask that You would raise up godly influences in the entertainment industry, that Your light may shine in the darkness.
We pray as the Apostle Paul did for the Ephesians, that we may be strengthened with all power, according to the riches of your glory, to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith; to the end that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that we may be filled with all the fullness of God. May we be strengthened to discern evil and to stand against it in Jesus' name.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Remember, it is only in the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. As believers, we should stand firm against all forms of evil and trust in God's power to deliver us. Be encouraged by the words of James 4:7, "Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
In Jesus' Name:
