HOW WITCHES & WARLOCKS TARGET VOICES, LEADERS, & WOMEN IN AUTHORITY
First, a governing truth:
Witchcraft does not attack power—it attacks influence.
It targets what moves people, what shifts atmospheres, and what threatens control.
1. THEY TARGET THE VOICE, NOT JUST THE PERSON
Biblically, the voice carries authority, not just sound.
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” — Proverbs 18:21
So witchcraft often aims to:
• Silence you
• Discredit you
• Distort how you’re heard
• Make you doubt when to speak
• Exhaust you so you withdraw
Common tactics:
• Sudden hesitation before speaking
• Overthinking posts, sermons, or decisions
• Feeling “it’s not worth it” right before impact
• Unusual backlash when truth is spoken clearly
If the voice goes quiet, the assignment slows.
2. THEY TARGET LEADERS THROUGH ISOLATION & DISTORTION
Leaders are rarely attacked head-on. They’re pressured indirectly.
“Strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.” — Zechariah 13:7
Patterns you’ll see:
• Misunderstandings multiply without cause
• Support systems suddenly thin out
• People project motives onto you
• Your words are twisted, not quoted accurately
• You feel watched, evaluated, or scrutinized
Witchcraft wants leaders self-monitoring instead of God-led.
3. THEY TARGET WOMEN IN AUTHORITY SPECIFICALLY
This is ancient and strategic.
From Eve → Deborah → Esther → Mary → the women at the tomb.
Why? Because women in authority disrupt illegitimate control systems.
“I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority…” — 1 Timothy 2:12
This verse is often misused—but the Greek context addresses disorder and domination, not God-given authority. Satan loves misusing Scripture to silence women.
Targeting patterns include:
• Character assassination
• Sexualized scrutiny
• Being labeled “emotional,” “controlling,” or “too much”
• Attacks on credibility rather than content
• Pressure to soften, shrink, or self-correct constantly
If you were ineffective, you’d be ignored.
4. THEY AIM FOR TIMING, NOT JUST OBEDIENCE
Witchcraft loves to interrupt momentum.
“To everything there is a season…” — Ecclesiastes 3:1
Expect pressure:
• Right before a release
• Right after a breakthrough
• When visibility increases
• When obedience becomes costly
The enemy doesn’t know everything—but he recognizes patterns of God.
