Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)
Another way you could define a work of the flesh is an evil (ungodly) act that is common to human nature. In fact, it was Derek Prince who said that witchcraft is the natural religion of fallen man. When left to our own devices, man who craves power, who craves the ability to put their own will into motion, is inevitably inclined to witchcraft, be it the more subtle manipulations of people with words and actions or the more overt domination of forces and elements.
And it is not only sorcery that is condemned in Scripture, but all forms of magick.
Scripture shows us that when it comes to petitions as witchcraft often encompasses, we must absolutely not rely on our own will to be done, but rather that of God's.
In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
(Matthew 6:9-10)
There is not much difference between a prayer to God and a petition or spell for the working of magick, not much difference except whose will is being done—yours or God’s.
