Scene 1, Part 2
Whate'er thou art, for thy good caution, thanks. Thou hast harped my fear aright. But one word more—
Macbeth, Macbeth, Macbeth: beware Macduff,Beware the Thane of Fife. Dismiss me. Enough.
The Three Witches summon apparitions to convey Macbeth's future to him. The first one (An Armed Head) tells Macbeth to "Beware Macduff", which confirms his suspicions.

Scene 1, Part 3
Then live, Macduff. What need I fear of thee? But yet I’ll make assurance double sure, And take a bond of fate. Thou shalt not live, That I may tell pale-hearted fear it lies, And sleep in spite of thunder.
Macbeth! Macbeth! Macbeth!Be bloody, bold, and resolute. Laugh to scorn The power of man, for none of woman born Shall harm Macbeth.
The second apparition ( A Bloody Child) tells him that no one born of a woman will harm him.

Scene 1, Part 4
Be lion-mettled, proud, and take no careWho chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are. Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane HillShall come against him.
That will never be. Who can impress the forest, bid the tree Unfix his earthbound root? Sweet bodements! Good! Rebellious dead, rise never till the wood Of Birnam rise, and our high-placed Macbeth Shall live the lease of nature, pay his breath To time and mortal custom.
The thrid apparition ( A Child crowned with a tree in his hand) tells him that he won't be defeated until Birnam Wood marches down Dunsinane Hill

Looks like my position is saved.
The WITCHES dance and then vanish
After the witches and apparitions disappear, Macbeth believe that his power is overall safe. Except the fact that Banquo's children still inherit the Throne
