I would like to state clearly that the only Christian activity that generates overcoming power for victory over all the devices of Satan is prayer. Let no believer in Christ imagine he can overcome Satan or witchcraft without a strong prayer altar.

A Christian convert who is a son to an African witch doctor recounted how his father counselled him that there are only three types of Jesus followers he cannot fight and win. The first is a Christian who prays at night; number two is one who prays intermittently throughout the day; and the third is one who prays for long hours. According to his Voodoo internship, he must avoid these three Christians.

Before you go ahead, there is a post exposing the mortar and pestle witchcraft pounding. Click here to read and gain some background knowledge (View Post).

Now how exactly does one overcome this sorcery of pounding and witchcraft, which is used to steal, kill, and destroy?

• You need an upgrade.

Like I established in the first post, initially my prayer did not seem to do anything to them. I prayed, but they continued to do their thing. This continued until one night, as I was praying, I heard a voice that said, “I have upgraded you.” Instantly, the pounding activity stopped. Ever since that day, the spirit of God in me assumed a shape that could interfere with the pounding voodoo. All I have to do is channel my prayer against them by sending their sorcery back to them. This always works.

Therefore, one needs to be upgraded in spiritual might and Christian capacity to counteract this witchcraft. And upgrades don’t happen to prayerless believers. If your prayer is not affecting any battle you are facing, do not give up; continue in prayer until God upgrades your capacity.

• Relentless prayer

One day the Lord gave me wise counsel using an unusual means. And this happened in a time of strong opposition. He said, “No one who continues fighting is ever defeated.” So the more the enemy wields his devices against us, the more we must continue to pray whenever we can.

In those days when they tried to destroy my prayer life, yes, I did quite struggle to pray, but I never stopped praying. In fact, it was in a prayer session that the Holy Spirit told me that I was in a hidden battle.

As long as a Christian has an effective and efficient prayer altar, the works of Satan will have minimal effect on him. And even if they have done any work against us while asleep or without our knowledge, by prayer we can resurrect what was killed, recover all that was stolen, and mend all that the enemy had destroyed.

• Do not stay within the place where such things are done.

This sorcery is positional; it only works within an immediate surrounding. So that if you suspect or are sure that they are using this demonic weapon against you, leave that area. The device works most when you sleep. So, do not sleep within the horizon of this attack unless you have no choice and you have a strong prayer life.

• You will get a covering and help if you prevail in prayer.

One of the things I have learnt about spiritual battle is that there is a covering coming. When a true believer who has a strong altar of prayer is relentless in any battle he faces without succumbing to the darkness, a day comes when the Lord increases him above that level of battle. I call this a covering.

Upgrading our capacity gives us the power to resist and overcome, but a covering makes the attack almost null and ineffective on us. It will be like pouring water on a duck. It touches the duck but does nothing to it.

For instance, I do not need to be in an active prayer session for certain levels of voodoo witchcraft to fail against me. There is a covering over me because I have dwelt in the secret place for so long.

The scripture that backs this experience is Psalm 91:4, which says, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high... He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust; his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.“

The experience I had was that God increased me to a level that the sorcery had almost no effect on me.

• You need a saviour.

No matter how strong or careful one may be, Satan the architect is always stronger, more prudent, and wiser in his approach. As believers, we need God’s help if we must truly win any spiritual battle. The role of the Holy Spirit in spiritual warfare can never be overemphasised. He will keep you alert, he will keep you alive, he will strengthen you, he will drive you, he will upgrade you, he will give you knowledge, and he will give you understanding, revelation, power, and much more.

So that anyone who is not in communion with the Holy Spirit, anyone who is not genuinely born again, cannot win any battle against the kingdom of darkness. As it is written, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4
