1 Samuel 15:23

Rebellion - (resisting God ordained Authority) is as the sin of witchcraft, (ie: dealing with demons or hearing voices not of the Holy Spirit).

People who practice witchcraft - caught under the fear of satan, do not prosper, but those who live daily by FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES OF GOD!

Galatians 5:19-20

Works of the flesh are manifest...witchcraft..

We always identify witchcraft with demons, but it starts with the flesh. Being disobedient to the Lord and obeying your flesh could cause demon activity of witchcraft.

Deep regret in a person's life, which is the work of the flesh, if it's unrepentant, demon activity of witchcraft could manifest.

Proverbs 29:25

The fear of man bringeth a snare... This is a perfect example of the work of the flesh, which could activate demon manipulation - witchcraft. Watch out for people who try to control you!

2 Samuel 15:6

...Absalom stole the hearts of the people... When someone tries to stop you from going to the King for counsel, by their deceitful words of prophecies, beware! - they want to contol you and that's witchcraft.

Witchcraft works in various degrees. When an individual starts to reject God ordained Authority and appoints self in Authority, through pride this person controls others.

WATCH OUT with whom you share personal things! Dogs are not clean, swine are not precious, they despise and create doubts in you. (Matthew 7:6)

WATCH OUT! GOD MAY USE A DONKEY TO TALK WHEN YOU DISOBEY!

"The Lord opened the mouth of the ass and she said unto Balaam, "What have I done that you had to smite me 3 times? Am I not your ass, upon whom you have ridden, ever since I was yours unto this day?" (Numbers 22:27-30)

WATCH OUT! Don't run with the wrong crowd!

Be not deceived: evil association corrupt good manners. (1 Corinthians 15:33)

WATCH OUT! A novice (immature) could be misleading, because of their false sense of spirituality. They have fallen into pride and live under the condemnation of the devil. (1 Timothy 3:6)

WATCH OUT! For those who cause divisions and stumbling blocks against your spiritual growth. Keep away from them who stand against the truth, that has made you free. (Romans 16:17)

WATCH OUT! For those who deceive the minds of the innocent by their good and fair speeches, such are not in the service of our Lord Jesus Christ, but for personal gain. (Romans 16:18)

WATCH WHAT and HOW YOU SEE! SO THAT YOU WILL NOT TAKE WHAT DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU and HIDE IT IN YOUR TENT.

When I SAW among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I COVETED them, and TOOK them; and behold, they are HID in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. (Joshua 7:21)

WATCH OUT! WHAT YOU GREATLY FEAR IN LIFE WILL COME UPON YOU, LIKEWISE GREAT FAITH GIVES GOOD RESULTS! 

For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. (Job 3:25)

The fear of man bringeth a snare... This is a perfect example of the work of the flesh, which could activate demon manipulation - witchcraft. Watch out for people who try to control you! (Proverbs 29:25)
