Glossary of Terms
The enemy thrives in darkness and in ignorance. One of his most effective weapons is keeping believers without language — without the words to name what is happening to them. This glossary exists to remove that weapon from his hands.
The foundational operating principle of the spiritual realm. Everything in both kingdoms moves on the engine of agreement. Agreement means alignment — what you align with, you empower and give access to. Agreement can be verbal, mental, physical, or spiritual.
In the New Testament, the believer himself becomes the altar — the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, the meeting point between heaven and earth. Wherever you go, you carry the altar.
A spiritual structure — physical or purely spiritual — where evil covenants are made, dark sacrifices are offered, and demonic spirits are assigned and dispatched. A person, place, object, or practice can function as an evil altar.
The practice of a person's spirit leaving their physical body and traveling to other locations in the spirit realm or natural world. In witchcraft practice, used as a tool of surveillance and attack.
The spiritual authority given to believers to restrict the activity of demonic spirits (binding) and to release the activity of God's kingdom (loosing). Binding restricts; it does not destroy.
The most binding form of spiritual covenant — sealed with blood, literally or through ritual. These covenants do not expire with time or dissolve through ignorance; they must be specifically broken through the blood of Jesus.
The pattern of multiple simultaneous, seemingly unrelated problems that characterizes a witchcraft attack in full effect — financial hits, accidents, conflict, sickness, all within a compressed timeframe.
The spiritual protection that comes from being properly aligned under legitimate authority and walking in obedience to God. Your covering is not your intentions — it is your obedience.
A spiritually charged negative declaration spoken over a person, place, or situation. A curse requires a landing place to operate — sin, open doors, or agreement. An undeserved curse cannot land.
A physical item deliberately placed on an evil altar, prayed over with dark intent, and given to a target as a means of establishing an ongoing spiritual connection. The object becomes a spiritual antenna maintaining the link.
Food prepared, offered, or prayed over at an evil altar and given to a target with the intent of creating spiritual access through the act of eating. Eating is a covenant act.
Clothing is an extension of the self, representing covering, identity, and authority. Leaving clothing in another person's home is a deliberate act of establishing spiritual presence and access in that space.
The act of consecrating a person, place, or object to a spiritual power — either to God or to darkness. What has been dedicated to darkness carries that assignment until specifically broken and re-dedicated to God.
The God-given ability to perceive the spiritual reality behind natural appearances. Discernment is not suspicion — suspicion comes from fear. Discernment comes from proximity to God.
The practice of seeking supernatural knowledge through occult means — tarot, astrology, palm reading, crystal balls, pendulums. Accuracy does not indicate legitimacy.
The spiritual dimension accessed during sleep in which the spirit man is active and the conscious mind is at rest. Both God and the enemy operate in this dimension.
An agreement entered into during the dream realm — through actions taken while dreaming — that creates a legal access point. Established by eating, receiving an object, sexual union, or obeying an unidentified voice.
An agreement made in the dream realm through actions taken while dreaming. Every dream agreement not renounced upon waking remains legally valid in the spirit realm.
A physical representation of a person — cloth, wax, clay — used in witchcraft as a proxy for the target in rituals and spells, creating a spiritual link between the ritual and the individual.
What we allow in through our eyes and ears creates a pathway for spiritual influence. What you consistently see and hear shapes what you believe and ultimately what you give access to.
A person presenting as speaking for God using spiritual language and apparent supernatural gifts, but whose words carry a spirit contrary to the Holy Spirit. The test is not their words — it's their fruit.
A declaration spoken in religious or prophetic language carrying a spirit contrary to the Holy Spirit, designed to redirect calling and create agreement with a false destiny.
The voluntary abstinence from food as a deliberate act of consecration and spiritual intensification — bringing the body into submission to the spirit so spiritual sensitivity and authority increase.
A specific point of entry the enemy holds within a person's life as a result of sin, agreement, or open doors. A foothold is the beginning stage — if unaddressed, it becomes a stronghold.
A spiritual consequence, pattern, or demonic assignment passing through a family bloodline as a result of ancestral sin, ungodly covenants, or occult involvement. Requires specific repentance and renunciation to break.
The breaking of every generational covenant, curse, and demonic assignment operating through a family bloodline — so what held your ancestors does not have to hold you or your children.
The fundamental orientation of a person's heart toward God, which determines what spirit can flow through them. Heart posture is not about perfection but about the direction of the heart.
The spiritual basis upon which the enemy is permitted to operate against a person's life. The enemy cannot attack freely — he requires a claim. When legal rights are revoked, he must withdraw.
Literally "hidden" — the body of knowledge and practice related to supernatural powers outside of God. Occult involvement creates legal access for demonic spirits even when entered casually or in ignorance.
A dream in which God reveals something about the future. Prophetic dreams often require time to unfold and are not always immediately understood.
Physical or relational closeness that gives a person functioning in witchcraft the access needed to operate effectively against a target. Evil altars require proximity to function at full strength.
The ongoing, active process of replacing old thought patterns, lies, and agreements with the truth of God's Word. A renewed mind is a fortified mind.
The verbal, deliberate, specific act of rejecting and breaking an agreement with darkness. It must be spoken and specific, followed by commanding the spirit operating through that right to leave.
A complete change of direction — not merely feeling sorry, but actively turning away from sin and closing every door it opened. Genuine repentance is specific, not general.
The personal, Spirit-led process by which a believer identifies every legal right the enemy holds, repents, renounces every agreement with darkness, and commands every spirit operating through those rights to leave. Not a one-time event — a lifestyle.
A spiritual bond formed between two people through intimate relationship that creates an ongoing connection in the spirit realm. God designed soul ties to be good — marriage is one. Ungodly soul ties form through sexual sin, abuse, or occult-laced relationships.
The three-part nature of every human being. The spirit is the innermost part, made alive by salvation. The soul — mind, will, emotions — is the battleground. The goal: spirit leads, soul follows, body is under authority.
The God-given right and power to act in the spiritual realm on behalf of the kingdom of God, flowing through delegated dominion restored fully to believers through Christ.
The inability to perceive spiritual reality clearly. The enemy's ideal operating condition — he thrives when unseen. The cure is more of God; proximity to Him brings light.
A pervasive, unexplained sense of weight, oppression, fatigue, or depression descending without clear natural cause — one of the primary symptoms of a witchcraft attack in progress.
An unchanging, governing principle of the spiritual realm — as reliable as gravity. Ignorance of these laws does not protect you from their consequences; it exposes you to them.
The invisible dimension that underlies and governs the visible, natural world. It is more real than the physical world, because it's the source from which the natural world flows.
A demonic spirit assigned to produce fear, hesitation, and withdrawal in a believer, particularly regarding their calling or willingness to confront evil.
A demonic spirit whose assignment is to produce sickness and physical affliction — particularly when sickness arrives suddenly, resists treatment, or clears when a spiritual root is addressed.
Freedom that holds over time because the legal doors have been closed and the spiritual disciplines that maintain freedom are in practice. Deliverance without discipleship rarely produces sustained freedom.
A high-ranking demonic entity assigned to influence and control a specific geographic region, people group, or sphere of society. Operates at the level of principalities and powers.
A human being who knowingly or unknowingly acts as a representative of a territorial spirit, resisting any move of God in their territory. Recognizing them requires discernment, not suspicion.
Prayer specifically directed against demonic assignments, evil altars, and the legal structures that give the enemy access. The believer engages the enemy directly, using the authority of the name of Jesus.
A dream sent by God to alert the dreamer to a specific danger requiring immediate action. Unlike prophetic dreams, warning dreams should be heeded promptly.
A person who knowingly operates in partnership with demonic spirits to perform supernatural acts. Their power is real but has a ceiling — no weapon formed against a protected believer will ultimately prosper.
Any use of demonic power — through people, objects, words, or rituals — to manipulate, control, curse, or destroy. Includes manipulation operating through a demonic spirit even when the person doesn't identify as a witch.
A coordinated spiritual assault on a specific person or family, launched from an evil altar. Usually targeted and strategic, not random. Hallmark is the cascade.
A person who externally presents as a believer but is internally aligned with the enemy. The most dangerous category because they're the hardest to identify — they pass every surface-level test.
A believer who takes responsibility for the spiritual state of a territory, family, church, or their own life — standing guard in prayer, especially during the night hours.
A spiritual connection to a person, system, or pattern that pulls you in a direction contrary to your God-given destiny. A bad yoke drains your spiritual energy and redirects your focus.
