4 Levels of Spiritual
Warfare Against Demonic Spirits
n the realm of spiritual warfare against demonic spirits, I believe there are 4 basic levels in which an individual believer may have to face – depending on what you may be dealing with in your present set of circumstances and what you may have in your past background.
Having the specific knowledge on what each one of these 4 levels are all about can really help you in being able to plan and carry out the appropriate battle strategy in which to defeat demons should they ever move in for an attack on either you or any of your close loved ones.
But before I get into exactly what these four areas are, I want to give you some very basic verses from the Bible showing you the importance that God the Father is placing on that we realize the reality of demonic spirits in this world, and that we not be afraid to engage and cast them out of people when we do run across them in this life.
Here are 8 very powerful verses from the Bible, all showing us that we are not to be afraid of demons, and that we are to directly engage with them if we have to, operating under God’s authority and anointing to be able to do so.
- And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe. In my name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues, they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.” (Mark 16:15-18)
- “Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee … the Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor, He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” (Luke 4:14-18)
- “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19)
- “Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” (Luke 9:1)
- “And He called the twelve to Him, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits … And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.” (Mark 6:7,13)
- “And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.” (Matthew 10:1)
- “But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” (Matthew 10:6-8)
- “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” (1 John 3:8)
If you will notice, every time Jesus gave His apostles the power and command to go out and walk with His anointing, He always told them to cast out demons as one of His specific commands – no exceptions!
So if Jesus was constantly casting out demons, always telling the apostles to cast out demons, and the apostles too were always casting out demons, then it should only be logical that the Church should continue to still cast out demons when needed.
It has been estimated by many Bible scholars that approximately 25% of the miracles Jesus had performed were Him casting demons out of people. Satan and his demons are not confined to the Bottomless Pit at this time. This event will not happen until Jesus returns back to us in His second coming. Until that event happens, Satan and his demons are still free to roam in the “air” seeking who they are going to try and devour next.
As Christians, we always have to remember that the devil and his demons are already defeated foes. Jesus has already defeated Satan at the cross when He was crucified.
What is now left is that all Christians have to realize that the victory is already ours. We thus have to learn how to engage and defeat the devil and his demons when they do try to move in on a person or a situation – and sometimes this means a real live deliverance – because demons can attach themselves to people when they do move in for an attack. And once they do, the only way to be able to drive them out is by the power of God!
Before I get into the four specific areas in which demons will try and come against people, especially Christians, there is one more big debate going on right now in the Body of Christ about how far demons can go with Christians. This debate is whether or not a demon can actually enter in on the inside of a Christian.
Many believe that once you are saved and become born again, that demons cannot enter in on the inside of you. The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit will literally come in and enter in on the inside of your human spirit at the moment of your conversion with Jesus. As a result of our bodies now becoming the temple of the Holy Spirit, they believe there is no way that a demon or a group of demons can enter in on the inside of your body.
At first glance, this does appear to be a very logical argument. However, what they are missing is the fact that the Bible tells us that we have three, distinct, separate parts to our being. We have a body, a soul, and a spirit. The Holy Spirit is living and dwelling in your human spirit, but He is not living up in your soul or body area.
If a Christian ends up committing a severe, door-opening sin and transgression against the Lord giving the demons full legal right to be able to directly attack him, then what the demons will try and do if they can get away with it is try and enter into that person’s body and soul. They will not be able to enter into the Christian’s spirit because the Holy Spirit is already living in there. But they will be able to enter into the body and soul of that person if the transgression has been deemed to be severe enough by the Lord.
Talk to any deliverance minister who does deliverances on a regular basis, and every single one of them will tell you that demons can enter in on the inside of a Christian, and that they then have to be cast out of them by way of an actual deliverance. In fact, they cannot cast the demons out of a person unless that person is a Christian to begin with, or unless that person is willing to become a Christian if they are not saved.
If an unsaved person has demons living and operating on the inside of them, they will have no spiritual authority to be able to cast the demons out of them. This kind of deliverance is only available for born-again Christians.
One of the things Christians can do to totally safeguard themselves from ever having a demon try to enter in on the inside of them is to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. We have an article in the Bible Basics section of our site on exactly what this gift is all about and how to properly receive it.
What happens with this second experience is that the Holy Spirit will release from your spirit and come up and enter into your soul. Once the Holy Spirit is residing in both your spirit and soul areas, then the demons will not be able to enter into your soul since the Holy Spirit is now living in there as a result of having received this gift.
This is why after a Christian gets delivered from demons, a deliverance minister will try and get the person to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit – to help safeguard and prevent the demons from ever being able to get back in on the inside of that person ever again.
This debate has been going on for a long time in the Body of Christ and will obviously never be resolved anytime in the near future. The only thing that I can personally tell you is that I have come across quite a few Christians who have had demons literally dwelling on the inside of them and they all had to have the demons cast out of them by way of an actual deliverance.
At the end of this article, I will give you a list of the best books ever written on the subject of deliverance and engaging with demons. Each one of these books have been written by very creditable, anointed men and women of God who have learned much in this area of spiritual warfare. And what you will find out very quickly when reading from each one of them is that they have all found out in the real battlefields of life where this kind of activity does exist, that Christians can draw demons on the inside of them if the demons have the appropriate legal rights to be able to enter in.
As I get into the four specific areas where demons can directly attack a Christian, you will see me break this down into two very basic areas. If demons come in for an attack, they will either try and attack you from an outside position, which means they are attacking you from the “air.” When they are attacking you from an outside position, they are not on the inside of your body or soul. These attacks are coming at you from the outside of your being.
The other position that demons can attack you is from the inside position, which means they are attacking you from the inside of your body. And if they are on the inside of your body being able to attack you from this inside position, then something has happened that has given them the legal right to be able to enter in on the inside of you.
Your job will then be to find out what their legal right is so that you can get it properly broken before God the Father. Once you have properly broken all of their legal rights before God the Father, then you can turn around and command them to now leave you in the name of Jesus.
But whether you are dealing with demons attacking you from an outside position or from an inside position – the rules are still the same. Find out what their legal rights are, properly break those legal rights before God the Father, and then turn around and verbally cast all of them out in the name of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
As much as I hate to say this, there is a real war game going on between God and the devil for all of our souls. And in this war game are real, live, demonic spirits who will come after people, especially Christians – and they will try to get away with inflicting as much death, terror, destruction, and oppression as they possibly can.
This is why the Bible is telling us that we are to resist the devil – that we are to cast out demons when and where needed – and that we are to become good soldiers of Jesus Christ. We are to be as bold as lions, and we are to learn how to walk in the anointing of God so that we can properly use the power and authority that God has already given to each one of us through His Holy Spirit.
The Bible makes it very clear as to what kind of big picture we all have to deal with. Each Christian thus has to make up their own personal mind as to how they will deal with this big picture and the war games that are really going on behind the scenes between God and the devil. The apostle Paul could not have said it any better when he said that our real battle in this life is not with flesh and blood, but with principalities and powers, which are demons and demon powers.
You can either learn how to rise up and walk with the anointing and power of God in your life so as to be able to do battle against your enemies, whether they be demons or other evil people – or you can choose to hide your head in the sand and let demons and other evil people keep tearing you and your family to pieces.
We have another article in the “Spiritual Warfare” section of our site titled, “Battle Verses of the Bible.” In this article, I give you 100 of the best battle verses from the Bible showing you that God the Father is a “Man of War,” that He does have a war side to His personality, and that He will not hesitate to go into battle for you and your close loved ones if you are willing to stand up and fight your enemies as a true soldier of Jesus Christ. But before God can go into battle for you, you will first have to be willing to march onto that battlefield and face your enemy head on like David did with Goliath. The choice is yours.
In the “Testimonies” section of our site, we have several powerful testimonies from people who were taught how to directly engage with their enemies, and in several of these cases, their enemies were demonic spirits. These people were all getting torn apart with what these demons were able to get away with – and this was all occurring because they did not know how to directly engage with them and how to drive them off them and their current situation.
Once we showed them how to go on the offensive and directly engage with these demons, every single one of them received complete and total deliverance – and in most of the cases, deliverance came within 24-48 hours. This is how powerful a thing it really is if you can learn how to go on the offensive against your enemies by operating under the authority, power, and guidance of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
Now onto the four different areas you may have to face when dealing with any type of direct attacks from demonic spirits.
1. Demons Attacking – With No Legal Right To Be Doing So
For most Christians, this first level will be the one they will probably have to face the most from time to time. This first level is when a demon or a group of demons start to attack you from an outside position with no real legal right to be doing so.
Jesus Himself had to face Satan head on with this kind of an outside attack when God led Him into the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights. In that wilderness setting, Satan was allowed to literally tempt Jesus with three specific temptations.
If God allowed His Son to be tempted in this manner, then you know the chances are very good that many of us will have to face this same kind of demonic attack from time to time from this same kind of outside position.
We already have another article in our site titled, “Battle Command Against Demonic Spirits” in the “Spiritual Warfare” section of our site. In this article, I show you exactly how to deal with a demonic attack coming at you from this kind of an outside position. I also give you a good, basic, simple battle command that you can use to drive any demons off you that are attempting to come directly against you.
Jesus has already given us His power, His anointing, and His authority to cast out demons and to trample over all the power of our enemies. It simply is a matter of each and every Christian being willing to take up his sword, which is the Word of God, and verbally command the demons to leave you in the name of Jesus Christ. It really is that simple in this first level of spiritual warfare in dealing direct with any kind of demonic attack.
2. Demons Attacking – As a Result of a Legal Right To Be Able To Do So
In this second level, things start to get much heavier. This second level is when demons start to come in for an attack, but this time they have a full legal right to be able to do so.
This is the realm that gets many Christians in trouble with demons. What happens in this second level is that the Christian has given some kind of legal right for the demons to be able to launch a full scale attack against them.
The Bible tells us from the Book of Job that we apparently have some kind of protective hedge around us that protects us from demonic spirits. If we did not have this kind of protective hedge, then you can bet that many more Christians would be coming under direct demonic attack. Here is the verse:
“Have You not made a HEDGE around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side?” (Job 1:10)
As a result of this protective hedge, there appears to be some kind of spiritual law in operation that demons have to abide by. They may occasionally be able to come against you as described in level one, but they can easily be cast off from you by just issuing a good, basic, battle command – telling them they now have to leave you in the name of Jesus Christ once you realize that it really is them that have been attacking you.
However, what demons do is just wait for any Christian to cause a hole to occur in their protective hedge. And how do you cause a hole to occur in your protective hedge giving demons a legal right to be able to come directly after you? By engaging and crossing over into any direct sins and transgressions that are expressly forbidden by God the Father in His Word.
Obviously not every sin and transgression will cause a hole to occur in your protective hedge with the Lord. The Bible tells us that we are all sinners and that we have all fallen short of the glory of our God. This is why Jesus had to come down to die on the cross – to pay the penalty for all of those sins, and to be able to give us full forgiveness and a full pardon for all of our sins. If demons had a legal right to be coming after us every single time we sinned or transgressed, then none of us would ever be safe from their attacks, and we would all be in a state of constant warfare with them.
However, what many deliverance ministers have found out in the actual battlefields when having to deal direct with real live demons – is that there are certain sins and transgressions that will give demons the legal right to be able to launch a full scale attack against a person, even if that person is already a Christian!
Once you become saved and born again through the Blood that Jesus has already shed for you on the cross, this does not give you the right or the license to be able to keep on sinning.
Though we have all been made perfectly righteous in the eyes of God as a result of Jesus’ righteousness now being imputed to us, we still have to make every effort on our end to stay on the righteous side of the fence in our walk with our Lord. We have to do the best we can to try and live righteous lives and stay out of any serious sins and transgressions against our Lord – especially those of the heavier kind that will be listed below.
In this area of spiritual warfare, there are certain types of sins and transgressions that will give demons the legal right to be able to come directly after you if God should so choose to allow this to happen. If you choose to engage in some of these heavier sins, then you could possibly break the protective hedge that you have around you with the Lord.
The demons will then be quick to see that opening when it does occur, and they will waste no time in trying to come directly after you. Demons just wait for people, especially Christians, to cross over into any kind of door-opening, hedge-breaking sin and transgression, which will then give them the full legal right to be able to launch an all-out, full scale attack on that person and their life.
When looking at what some of these kinds of sins and transgressions are, the first thing you will notice is that they are a much heavier type of sin and transgression.
Here are some of the heavier sins and transgressions, if committed with any type of frequency or intensity, that can get you into major trouble with the Lord where He will then pull back His hand of protection and cause a major hole to occur in your hedge – which will then give demons the full legal right to be able to start coming directly after you for a major attack.
As Christians, we can have absolutely no part in any of the following areas:
- The occult
- False religions or cults
- Any part of the New Age Movement
- The homosexual lifestyle
- Any type of Satan worshiping group
- Any involvement with abortion or the abortion industry
- Abusing alcohol
- Doing any type of drugs – including pot
- Any type of extreme verbal and/or physical abuse on your mate or children
- Any type of promiscuous, sexual lifestyle
- Any type of criminal activity
- Murder
- Bringing a cursed object into your home
If you will notice, all of these sins and transgressions are things that you have to do operating out of your own free will and volition against the Lord. These are not things that are being done to you or against you – these are all sins that you are doing and committing against the Lord all on your own volition. In other words, these are all direct willful sins being done against the Lord.
Each one of these areas are major, I repeat, major door openers to the dark side. All of these sins and behaviors are totally unacceptable in the eyes of God and He will not put up with any of His own engaging in any of this kind of activity!
In the areas having to do with the occult, we have another article in our site titled, “Dangers of the Occult.” In this article, I give you all of the main verses from the Bible that will tell us that none of us can engage with anything having to do with the occult, and that if we do, we will risk having God set His face directly against us.
Deliverance ministers who deal with demons on a regular basis have all found out that some of the more evil and wicked demons in Satan’s hierarchy are demons that have attached to someone as a result of that person delving into some area of the occult. This is why God has given all of us such strict warnings in His Word that we can have absolutely nothing to do with any area of the occult – no exceptions!
If you have drawn demons into your life as a result of engaging in one or more of the above door-opening sins, then what you will have to do before you can cast the demons out of your life is that you will have to fully break all of their legal rights.
You will first have to realize that you have been sinning and transgressing directly against God by delving into any of the above areas. Once you have full realization and understanding that these are all unacceptable sins and behaviors before God, then you will have to go before God, fully confess out each one of the transgressions as actual sins, and then fully renounce each one of them – telling God that you will never, ever go back into any of them ever again.
Then once each of these sin areas have been fully confessed and fully renounced before the Lord – then you can turn around, take the authority that God has given to you to trample over all the power of your enemy, and cast the demons off you for good.
What happens to some Christians, once they realize they have drawn demons into their lives as a result of being involved in some of the above sin areas – is that they will first try and cast the demons out before breaking their legal rights with God the Father. If you try and do this before you properly break their legal rights before God the Father, they will not go!
The reason for this is that they know they still have the full legal right to stay attached to you since their legal rights have not been properly confessed out, renounced, and broken before God the Father.
In the “Spiritual Warfare” section of our site, we have another article titled, “Battle Prayer to Break Legal Rights of Demons.” In this article, I give you a good, basic, battle prayer on how to go before God the Father and fully break all of the demon’s legal rights by properly confessing and renouncing these types of heavier sins.
In this article is a battle prayer that I had given to another woman who had drawn heavy demonic activity into her life as a result of engaging in some very heavy sins. This woman has given me permission to release the exact prayer that I had given to her so as to be able to help other people who may be having the same kind of problems with demons.
To any of you who may have drawn heavy demonic activity in your life as a result of engaging in some of these heavier sins – remember – the only sin that cannot be forgiven is a direct blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. All other sins and transgressions can be forgiven, no matter how bad, how vile, and how severe you think they may be.
If you are truly sorry for having engaged in this kind of activity, fully willing to confess and renounce all of this activity before God the Father – then God can fully forgive you and fully deliver you from these demons and restore order back into your life. This is not a hopeless situation.
The Bible tells us that God the Father is no respecter of persons – which means what He will do for one, He will do for another. God has an equal and unconditional love for each person He has created, and He will thus work equally with each person who is willing to come to Him for their deliverance.
We have come across plenty of people who have drawn heavy demonic activity into their lives, and all of them were able to get fully delivered from the demons once they were taught how to fully break their legal rights.
For those of you who may be battling this kind of spiritual problem, I would highly recommend that you read my article titled “Battle Prayer to Break Legal Rights of Demons,” and then form out your own personal battle prayer to God the Father to handle your personal situation.
Once you have fully broken all of the legal rights that the demons have been feeding and operating on, then you will be able to turn around and verbally command them to now leave you in the name of Jesus Christ. In this article, I give you both the prayer to go to God the Father with to break their legal rights, along with a good, basic, battle command to drive the demons off you for good!
This will now lead us into the third level of spiritual warfare when having to deal with the reality of demonic spirits invading our lives.
3. Demons Attacking – As a Result of What Someone Else May Have Done to You
This particular area has always been one of the most bothersome areas that I have ever come across when investigating and researching this part of our walk with the Lord. It’s one thing to draw demons in on you as a result of your own sins and transgressions that you have committed against the Lord. Most of the time in that area, you have nobody to blame but yourself for choosing to cross over into areas that you knew were forbidden territory by the Lord in the first place.
But this now brings us into the third major level when having to deal with direct attacks from demons. What happens in this area is that sometimes demons will be allowed to come in and attach themselves to a person as a result of what someone else may have done to that person.
Some examples of this would be women who have been raped, people who have been ritually abused in Satanic groups, people who have been victims of certain types of crimes and assault, women who may have been severely physically abused by their husbands or boyfriends, and children who have been severely abused by one or both parents – either physically, verbally, or sexually.
When I first came across this phenomenon, I wondered why God could allow demons to attach themselves to people who have been horribly abused or wronged by another person. This person was usually completely innocent of sinning or transgressing against God. So why would God allow demons to launch a full scale attack against the victim, especially if that victim is a born-again Christian? Christian woman are being raped, molested, and physically beaten every day across this country.
What happens in some of these types of extreme cases is that demons, once they see that person being physically violated to this kind of an extreme degree, will realize that there might be a hole in that person’s hedge. Once they see this kind of an opening, they will then try and move in to see if they can attach themselves to that person.
What demons are looking for in these kinds of extreme cases is what that person’s response is going to be to the violation. If a woman has been raped, the demons will see if that person will start to exhibit and manifest emotions of hate, anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness.
God will obviously allow the person to have some of these kinds of emotions right after all of this has occurred as a result of the initial knee-jerk reaction most of us would have to this kind of severe trauma. I do not believe the demons can get a foothold into that person right off the bat.
But if that person does not start to work themselves out of these kinds of negative emotions over a certain period of reasonable time, then the demons will have something they can attach themselves too, and that something are the negative emotions of hate, bitterness, and extreme anger that will settle in that person’s mind, spirit, and emotions over a certain period of time. And once the demons attach themselves to those kinds of negative emotions, they will then start to try and work it – trying to increase the frequency and intensity of those emotions.
If a person has drawn heavy demonic activity into their lives as a result of being the victim of some kind of extreme behavior from another person, then what that person will have to do before they can cast the demons out of them is to fully forgive the person who has viciously wronged them – no matter how evil and vicious that wrong may have been.
We have another article in our site titled, “How to Handle Negative Feelings When Wronged by Someone Else.” This article is in the Psychological Issues section of our site. In this article, I give you all of the appropriate Scripture verses on being able to deal with this kind of heavier problem.
The Bible tells us that whenever we get ready to stand before the Lord to pray to Him, that we have to be willing to fully forgive anyone else who has ever trespassed against us – and that will include any vicious criminal who may have raped, assaulted or robbed you, or any violent and psychotic boyfriend or husband who may have physically abused you.
The Bible tells us that if we do not forgive others who may have trespassed against us, then God will not be forgiving us when we trespass against others. And then to top it off, God may not even be willing to hear any of our personal prayers with the way He has this particular verse worded. And if He won’t hear any of our personal prayers, then we may have little or no chance on getting delivered from any type of demonic attack that may have come our way.
The first thing any good deliverance minister will do on these types of heavier cases is to make sure the person will be willing to fully forgive all of the people who have seriously wronged them in this life. Until this person is willing to fully forgive all of their trespassers, the demons cannot be cast out.
The demons have been feeding off those negative emotions for quite some time and as a result, a mental stronghold has developed in that person’s mind and thinking. To start God’s inner healing process, this person has to be willing to fully forgive the person or people who may have hurt them in these more extreme types of cases.
Once the person is willing to fully forgive all of their trespassers in the eyes of God, then that person can turn around and verbally engage with the demons, telling them that they now have to leave them in the name of Jesus Christ.
4. Demons Attacking – As a Result of a Generational Curse Line
Another very disturbing area in the realm of having to do battle with demonic spirits is the area where demons can sometimes jump from abusive and dysfunctional parents onto some of the children – trying to get some of the children to manifest the same aberrant and dysfunctional behavior of their parents.
A perfect example of this would be a severe alcoholic parent. The children grow up seeing and watching their parent live a good portion of their married life in this state. As a result of that parent crossing over into this kind of heavier sin area with the Lord, demons will be allowed to come in and attach themselves to the alcoholic parent. And once they attach themselves to the alcoholic parent, they will then look to see if they can target anyone else in the family to attack.
Again, the children are completely innocent. They themselves are not an alcoholic. They have done nothing themselves to draw the demons onto their alcoholic parent. So why would God allow the demons to be able to jump onto some of the children to try and get them to do the same thing they have been able to get their dysfunctional parent to do?
In some of these types of extreme cases, one or two of the children could end up becoming alcoholics themselves. What is happening behind the scenes in the spiritual realm is that the demons will try and get some of the children to move into this same kind of extreme activity, especially as they get older and move into their own marriages.
Demons cannot make you do anything. You will always have your free will to choose whether or not you will act out on their evil suggestions and promptings. All demons can do is try and persuade you to cross over into these kinds of extreme realms.
Many children who end up crossing over into some of these same extreme areas are really operating under heavy demonic influence. This is a perfect example of God telling us in His Word that His people will go into captivity for having lack of knowledge. Many children are crossing over into the same extreme realms that their parents were walking in as a result of not having the appropriate knowledge to fully understand what is really going on behind the scenes in the spiritual realm.
Once again, God the Father gives us some keen insight from His Word as to why this kind of activity is being allowed to happen in some families. God tells us in His Word that the sins of the fathers can be visited down to 3 or 4 generations of future children.
Here is the verse where God is making this specific statement. This verse is from one of the actual 10 commandments, the second commandment.
“You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” (Exodus 20:4-6)
Notice in this verse that God is using the word “visiting” – visiting the sins and iniquities of the father directly onto the children, traveling as far down as 3 or 4 generations of these future children.
What does God mean by the word “visiting?” I believe what God may be trying to tell us is that there will be severe consequences for certain types of sins and iniquities committed by parents of children. The Bible tells us that the “wages” of sin will be death.
If the father of a family is an extreme alcoholic, then the family could end up living in a miserable, oppressive and terrible environment. As a result of this kind of severe transgression against the Lord, the family could end up living in poverty.
As a result of living in poverty, the children may end up not getting the best education or the better opportunities to progress and grow into what God may have been calling them to become in Him in the first place. As a result of being raised up in this kind of a poor and oppressive environment, some of these children will never find God and what His purpose and divine plan would have been for their lives.
Some of them may end up becoming alcoholics themselves. And then from there, they will marry, and then they will end up treating everyone in their families in the same way their fathers had treated them. And then they have children, their children see and watch their dysfunctional behavior, and then some of them end up repeating the same behavior as they grow older and move into their own marriages.
You thus have the sin of one father being visited down several generations – all because no one knew how to break the curse line that had developed as result of the original sin from the first sinning alcoholic father.
All of this kind of negative activity could perfectly describe what God is trying to tell us in this verse. And then to possibly top it off, you have demons who will come in and feed off this kind of extreme behavior through the alcoholic parent, making everyone else’s life in the family miserable as a result. You walk into these kinds of houses, and you can literally feel yourself walking into a dark oppressive cloud.
What happens in this kind of scenario in reference to actual demonic activity is that demons will target some of the children to go after. They will try and attach themselves to the child at an early age and start to try and pull them into this darker way of living.
If that child is a born-again Christian, they will try and sever the child’s personal relationship with the Lord. They will attack their mind, their emotions, and their sense of self-confidence and self-esteem. Many of these children grow up with low levels of self-esteem and self-confidence as a result of all the verbal abuse they have had to put up with from their dysfunctional parent or parents.
When the child gets old enough to leave the home, the demons will follow the child and will still try and stay attached to them. I have personally run across several woman who had demons following them into their adult life and literally attacking them on a periodic basis. They would then command the demons to leave them in the name of Jesus, but that would only work for a short period of time, and then the demons would come back for additional attacks.
What is happening in the spiritual realm behind the scenes is that the demons apparently have developed enough of a legal right to stay attached to that child as a result of the sins and transgressions of the original sinning parent. What the demons have now formed out as a result of the original parent’s severe transgressions against the Lord is a curse line between that parent and the child.
What this now means is that before you can cast the demons off you for good – you will first have to fully break the curse line that the demons have been feeding and operating on over all of those years from living with the original sinning parent.
We have another article in our site titled, Spiritual Warfare” section of our site.
In this article, I give you a step-by-step process on how to properly break a generational curse line that may have originated from a dysfunctional parent or parents. Once you properly break that curse line, then you can turn around and verbally engage with the demons and command them to now leave you in the name of Jesus Christ.
In this article, I also give you the exact battle prayer I drew up for a 16 year girl who had this exact problem – with demons literally attacking her from time to time – and sometimes quite severely as a result of the demons who were on her natural father. What these demons were attempting to do was to jump and transfer down to her so they could then form out that curse line, which would then make it easier for them to be able to follow, torment, and harass her as she was growing into her adult life.
This girl was spiritually wise beyond her years. She had a very close powerful walk with her Lord and Savior, and she had quite a bit of knowledge on spiritual warfare. But what she could not figure out was why these demons were being allowed to chase after her and torment her like they had been doing for quite a number of years.
Once I received the background information on her and her family, it was very easy to spot where the demons were coming from. This article will explain to you how the father got the demons on him in the first place – and then how they were attempting to jump and transfer from him onto his daughter to form out a curse line so they could then continue to chase and follow after her into her adult life.
Conclusion
I believe that our God is a God of perfect order. I believe there are reasons for everything. For those who are seekers with the Lord, I believe many of the times God will give you answers as to why things are the way they are and why certain things happen the way they do.
Though we are all stuck with having to deal with the reality of demonic spirits in this life as a result of the curse Adam and Eve brought upon this earth, there is still a divine order in all of this and God is still running the entire show.
What I have personally found out in the area of spiritual warfare in having to deal direct with demonic spirits is that there are rules to the game, and there are limits as to how far they can go and how much they can get away with. For all Christians, there is complete deliverance from demons, no matter how bad and how hopeless the situation may look to you in the natural.
What we are trying to do with the spiritual warfare section of our site is to break these articles down accordingly so that you can pick and choose which ones will be best suited for the battle situation you may be forced to face.
In the area of having to deal direct with demons, I once again want to summarize your possible options per the articles we have done to date.
1. If demons are attempting to attack, harass, or torment you from an outside position, but have no real legal right to be doing so, it would be our recommendation that you read our article titled, “Battle Command Against Demonic Spirits.” A good, simple, basic battle command against these demons should do the trick and you should be able to drive them off of you very easily and very quickly.
2. If you have committed any type of door-opening sin and transgression against the Lord giving demons the full legal right to be able to come directly after you, we recommend that you read our article titled, “Battle Prayer to Break Legal Rights of Demons.”
Before you can verbally command the demons to leave you in the name of Jesus, you will first have to break their legal rights – and this article will give you a good, sample, battle prayer on how to properly do this with God the Father.
3. If you have had someone violate, abuse, or harm you in any type of extreme way, and have drawn demons into your life as a result of what that person or persons may have done to you, it would be our recommendation that you first read our article titled, “How to Handle Negative Feelings When Wronged by Someone Else.”
After you read this article and have made a commitment to the Lord to fully forgive all of your trespassers, then you can form out your own personal battle command as mentioned in the first two articles above, and then cast the demons off you for good.
4. If you have demons that have been nipping, attacking, tormenting or harassing you as a result of being raised up in a dysfunctional family where either one or both of your parents have committed some severe transgressions against the Lord, it would be our recommendation that you read our article titled, “Battle Prayer to Break a Generational Curse Line.”
This article will give you a step-by-step process on how to fully break the generational curse line that may have formed out from one or both of your dysfunctional parents – and then how to verbally command the demons to leave you in the name of Jesus Christ once you have properly broken that curse line with God the Father.
As I have said before, you do not want to get so paranoid and spooked that you are seeing demons around every possible corner. But you also do not want to take the other extreme position and turn a blind eye and keep your head in the sand ignoring the reality of demons and the different ways in which they will operate.
Many of God’s people are getting torpedoed and taken out of this life way too early as a result of not having the appropriate knowledge on spiritual warfare and how to do battle with their enemies – whether those enemies be demons or other evil people in this life.
The Bible has made it very clear. God’s Word has told us that we have all been called to be good soldiers of Jesus Christ. Notice that God is using the word “good soldiers.” When God is using the word “good soldiers,” I believe He is meaning exactly what He is trying to tell us. Good soldiers are warriors and they know how to directly engage with their enemies if they have too. They are strong, bold, and fearless.
God tells us in His Word that He wants us to be as bold as lions and that we are to directly engage and cast out demons when we have too. He tells us that if we faint in the day of any kind of adversity, that our strength will be considered small in His eyes.
Per all of the Scripture verses I listed at the top of this article, Jesus Himself had specifically told the apostles to cast out demons every single time He commissioned them to go out and walk with His anointing. We are to save, heal, teach, disciple, and cast out demons when we do run across these types of extreme situations.
I believe God is looking to raise up more well-rounded, anointed soldiers in these last days to battle some of the more increasing evil that we are starting to see more of. As we approach what I believe will be a coming Rapture, and then the coming of the 7 year Great Tribulation where this entire world will literally be ruled by a real, live, living Antichrist, I believe God will be pulling out all of the stops to try and get as many people saved and on that rapture train as He possibly can.
In order to do this, I believe God will be raising up an incredible army of anointed believers who will walk and fly with His supernatural power in a way that the world has never seen before and will never see again. Many of these anointed, chosen ones are being worked, trained, molded, and shaped right now into the eagles that God is calling them to become in Him.
For those of you who would like to read a direct prophecy on this coming army and what Jesus will be doing with this army, go to our article titled, “Prophecy from Jesus to Mary Baxter on Joel’s Army to Come” in the “Prophecies” section of our site. In this article is a direct word that Jesus gave to this woman on this coming army that He will be personally raising up, and some of the things that will be happening with this army.
Jesus says that this army will be the army of Joel as spoken by the prophet Joel in the Old Testament. In this article, I give you the full verse from the Book of Joel and the description that He gives of this army. He says this army will be the greatest army that God has ever raised up, that there never has been an army as mighty and powerful as this army is going to be, and that there will never be another one like it ever again.
I personally believe that this army could be coming out of our generation, and that our baby-boom generation may end up being the generation that will see and experience the Rapture.
Recommended Reading
For those of you who would like more detailed information in this area of spiritual warfare, here are 7 very good books on this subject that I would highly recommend, with all of them being written by very creditable, anointed men and women of God who are very experienced in this level of spiritual warfare and have learned much in the actual battlefields with demonic spirits.
All of these people are real pioneers in this area. The Bible tells us that we are to cast out demons, but it does not tell us exactly how to do it. Many of these people have had to learn how to do this all on their own as the Holy Spirit was guiding and teaching them along the way. As a result of all of their learning experiences, there is now an incredible amount of knowledge and revelation on this subject for those who want to learn more about it.
If I had to rate which one of these books would be considered the best at this time, I would definitely have to say the very first book I will list below. The title of this book is“Defeating Dark Angels” by Charles Kraft. This man gives the best, easiest, most logical, rational, and thorough analysis of this topic that I have seen to date. You cannot go wrong with this man’s teaching on this subject.
Two other books that are extremely good are “Healing Through Deliverance – Volumes 1 & 2″ by Peter Horrobin.
Here are seven of the best books the Body of Christ has to date on this subject:
- Defeating Dark Angels
By Charles H. Kraft / Gospel Light
-
Healing through Deliverance, vol. 1: The Foundation of Deliverance Ministry
By Peter Horrobin / Baker -
Healing through Deliverance, vol. 2: The Practice of Deliverance Ministry
By Peter Horrobin / Baker -
How to Cast Out Demons: A Guide to the Basics
By Doris M. Wagner / Gospel Light -
Pigs in the Parlor
by Frank Hammond, Ida M. Hammond - In The Name Of Satan How The Forces Of Evil Work And What You Can Do To Defeat Them
by Bob Larson
- Larson’s Book of Spiritual Warfare
By Bob Larson / Thomas Nelson /
If any more good books on this subject become available, I will add them to this list.
We also have several other good books listed on this subject in the Christian Book section of our site. Just scroll down to the “Deliverance from Demons” section and you will see additional books listed on this topic that are also very good. But these seven are the best of the best in my own humble personal opinion.

Prayer Request: my husband requires transfer back from vellore to chennai. he was transferred
due to administrative reasons . while attendng a prayer meeting it was revealed that some one
close to us have done witchcraft on us so that we split and lead a miserable life. he always
goes into depression, both the extreme moods. one extreme he doesnt eat, dress properly not
interested in his job, the other extreme, he used to spend lavishly, speak filthy, watch porn
movies even when children are at home, physical and verbal abuse due to which i moved out of
the house. now we are living separately from my husband as he had physically, mentally abused

my husband’s face also looks evil, his palm is black, (for others usually it is white)
my eldest son also seem affected by a curse or witchcraft doesnt show interest in his studies and but pray that he finishes his engineering degree in 4yrs, and get job immediately. he has become very rude and arrogant as he feels that there is no one to control him. he is very selfish and if he wants something then only he behaves well otherwise, he shouts at me and even raises his hand on me. what all his dad did to me my son is doing on me now.
my eldest son should forgive and reunite with his dad. .
regards/agnes
I have a question for you: Do you have any teachings on curses that are placed on one from another person? I have experienced what I believe may be that kind of situation. I was involved in a casual friendship with a neighbour who became very angry at my simple expression of my faith. She was so angry that she became very vicious and spread malicious gossip. I seemed to sense destructive forces arrayed against me following that incident and eventually left the community. Can such situations be due to a curse?
Thank you. Karen
Go to Spiritual Warfare section and go to article titled, “Dealing With the Legal Rights of Demons.” We have a caption in there on curses.

Wow – I know a woman who said number 9 of the list “no part in the following areas” concerning verbal abuse in the home was creating spiritual problems, but this is the first time that I’ve heard of this. What more could be added to get this through to her spouse?
DEAR SIR,
MYREASON IS THAT IWANT TO KNOW SOME OF THE SPIRITUAL EQUIOPMENT TO PRAY MY SELF OUT WHEN IAM IN TROUBLE FOR EXAMPLE SPIRITUAL ATTACK, [A ] TOSPIRITUAL ATTACK [ B] TOSPIRITUAL FAVOUR, SO I WANT KNOW THE SPIRITUAL THINGS TO USE AND PRAY MY SELF OUT PLS HELP ME , YOURS SINCERELY , BRO JOHN LINK +234 70 63 89 94 82 johnlink512@yahoo.com
I found this very helpful. I do believe that sin that is not confessed and repented by a parent can pass on to children. What if you confessed and repent for your sins in the past. Does that give a legal right to demonic attack? I thought after all sins were confessed and repented through the blood of Jesus that it is forgiven. Also is it OK for Christians to start warfare? I thought as Christians we do not and can not judge anyone. I also find that some Christians are liars too, I mean boldface liars! That is the reason why so many people that really need Christian guidance don’t go because they are afraid to be judged or people acting holier than thou. No one is perfect, but please don’t act like you never done anything wrong. I know some athiests that are nicer and morally correct than some of the Christians I know.
Ephesians 6: 10 – 18 specifically tells us to put on the whole armor of God when dealing with grave matters as these. In these verses God is speaking to us telling us not to be afraid for this is his realm, his issues, we are to invoke the HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH Jesus’s name, read the bible and ask the Holy Spirit to wrestle with these spirits as we quote this verse and Matthew where Jesus was resurrected so that we could have eternal life.
Although I will agree with you that the Holy Spirit enters us when we are baptized, because we have free will, we have to ask the Holy Spirit to reign in us daily, by praying, asking God to forgive us, forgive others, show us our errors including pride and arrogance. They are on the top of this list because that was Lucifer’s great sin…jealous of Jesus he lied and convinced angels with half truths and judged our Creator.
Furthermore, God warns us not to deal in witchcraft multiple verses in the bible warn us …which includes marrying out of faith (yoked). I believe if we should not engage in speaking with spirits or approaching these spiritual realm by just calling out Jesus name, since it places us in as vulnerable position as the angels of heaven were placed in..God asks us to rely on him for protection, deliverance and all of our worries and concerns, this applies to spiritual warfare and demonic possession as well.
If we worship God the way Jesus worshiped God, we will be following God’s commandments not man’s commandments (remember man changed God’s day of worship from Saturday (Sabbath) to Sunday (sun worship day because Constantine wanted to invite the Pagans to join Christianity) and the Jews who were influenced by worshiping graven images..look at your church to make sure you are not bowing down to a saint which is a graven image, also Jesus said to pray to God the father and was specific when he gave us the Lord’s prayer as the prayer we should pray. (I know tradition in church makes it difficult to recognize what God has told us not to do..but man has perverted God’s commandments).
Having witnessed supernatural events as a child and not knowing what they were ghosts (the bible is clear that the dead are asleep and know not one thing) and that these ghosts are satanic spirits, often imitating loved ones etc to confuse humanity from reading their bibles and having the reliance they should on God and his will in our lives.
I appreciate this site and hope that others will begin to read their bibles asking the Holy Spirit to guide them to truth. Furthermore, allow God to eradicate these spirits as I believe Jesus was given authority to do so and the disciples as they were ordained by Jesus with God’s direction. Although we have good people on earth that God uses (remember he even uses the unclean to do good) and wants us to be ambassadors for Christ, this area is a very dangerous one to delve into.
A hedge of protection is given when we sing hymns in our homes, praying calling out on God’s tender mercies and thanking him for everything we experience, we use positive speech, we fill our homes with positive reading materials, books, we turn off the TV (mostly filth), turn off internet sites etc that do not edify God or each other.
Prayer is essential for Christian growth..but so is reading the bible to understand God’s character, to give us guidance and provide strength and hope. Faith is personal it must be built and it will be tried..salvation does not come to us from what our parents did or what our spouse does..we are accountable for our time, our spirit and our actions…Praying that this has blessed you and others..
I believe my current husband is a level 4. As a matter of fact he is. There is actually a divorce pending that he filed, but we are going to be stuck at least until next year. I don’t know how to help him realize what the enemy is doing. His father is a preacher. I tried to minister to him but I did come off kind of harsh, and had to ask God to forgive me. Shortly, after i found the verse that says if you see a brother in sin then restore him gently..i left out a few words but it’s Timothy 5:1-2. I can tell the spirits have taken over him just by looking in his eyes. It is sad. I guess my focus is breaking the curse so my sons will not cursed. ALso praying that i do not regress. I will still pray for him, but find it odd that his parents just stand by and do nothing.
I need warfare prayers for my friend , who is 21 years old. He met this girl about 3 months ago who is 29 years with 2 children and has decided to marry her in the next 2 months. Within the time they are together they have had up and downs. Both she and his mother has cast a spell on him, his mother wants to control his life. He had a precious previous girlfriend within his age range and they were getting along very well with no problems. They were together for 2 1/2 years, but the mother did not like her. Recently he just got up and walked out of her life and went to meet this lady whom he is about to marry. He really needs powerful prayers to get out of there. This is exactly what the mother did to his father and he is in a bad condition right now. So Please pray for my friend and his father for the spells to be broken before he goes to live with the girl and they gets married in jesus name amen.
I think watching pornography should be listed as number 14 on the list of items christians should not be engaged in. Over 10 years ago, I received a word from God regarding the subject. I used to watch it, thinking nothing was wrong with watching as long as I wasn’t actually participating in the act. Well, as I prepared to watch a movie the Lord spoke to me and simply said ” that is the devil “. I haven’t watched a pornographic movie since that time. I think watching that type of movie is another way to put a hole in your hedge of protection to allow demons to attack. I think it is one of the main avenues the revolution used to wage his war on christians and their families.
My case is pretty differnt, I was under demonic attack because of something that had happened to my daughter . She was 4 when she was molested and I never knew because she had only stayed with a babysitter who was also a close friend she suffered from nightmares as a infant and I never knew why but i could just sence something wrong but she never talked about it i just assumed the sleep problems were normal untill i realized it was a demonic atack of some sort I took her to a local church and explained to the minister what i had been experiancing I did not know she had been sexauly abused untill he prayed over her a few hours later she told me what had happen and that night the demonic activity was bad it lingered around my home still for a while and once in a while it still lingers around to bring distrought in my life !!!! The word of God is strong and I belive it does help to truely belive !!! The activity still once in a while picks up i have no open door ways and my daughter is 6 now …. I just pray it leaves her alone it was a women who had molested her is there a certain demon i should pray against ???? The county that I live in just arrested the person who commited the crime and the night before they arrested her I came across some doors slamming in my home something letting me know there was something there . I just wonder if my daughter is soul tied to this paticular individual in some way . My daughter has had no contact with the person in 2 years I just wish I knew what I was messing with but very few people are helpfull in this area. I have said every prayer I can I just belive my daughter may need additional help but i also know that there was demonic activity that took place because of what happen to her
Nice article, like the others I have read so far. In terms of this one. I am being led by God (in my Belief today at this hour), the people become confused between between as good and true morally vs. because OF God’s vicious love and grace, walking in Spirit and in Truth. As noted, an Atheist can be morally correct, but much perceived morally good behavior is sociologically oriented. What works in some foreign land might not work in one’s home country, which could also include the prevalent religion to that area. In Spirit and Truth, there is only One, fulfilled through God’s vicious Love through Grace, which is bestowed to any and all through Enlightenment / Jesus / New Life /Rebirth. Heard of “A Course in Miracles”? Little known trivia, the main author had been an Atheist before their Enlightenment. THAT is powerful. In regard to practicing a homosexual life style. I have been Enlightened that this could be a form of prejudice, BUT, many of them have improper (like many do as well) ‘lifestyles’…which separate them from God. It is not the person, it is the behavior. I know homosexuals who are devout Christians and do not live ‘the lifestyle’. They have a special place in God’s kingdom. Old Testament rhetoric under the laws of Moses and projections from that might imply differently…but Jesus never said a thing about this. God’s Love knows no bounds..there is only one thing to know….LOVE. It is not for me to judge what is Love and what is not…it is in the Spirit of the Believer. As far as the moral issues and atheism as well as Christians. Morals becomes a moot point when walking as well as possible (we are not Saints all the time, being in the flesh)…Morals are just another way of “Laws of Moses” thinking. It’s a means to an end..it is cause and effect. There is no cause and effect , nor means to an end in my Spiritual Walk. It just IS..no comparisons, no relativity to anything else. That is all materialism..including my very thoughts of the material mind/brain. Upon the amazing Lightning Storm, the Crashing of walls falling, the layers of the onion pealing away..the one God STILL wakes me with before sunrise (BEST TIME OF DAY!)..I always Bear in mind: Truth, Love, Righteousness, Forgiveness. Remove all judgement. Those were brought to me..before ever picking up a book..even the Bible. The Bible is now verifying the very thing Jesus delivered..which to me for my life..is nothing short of an all out miracle.
I will sit down with my Bible and this study as there’s much to learn. Praise God that greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. Yes brother it’s all about relationship, although lifestyle should reflect that relationship. Yes, miracle of miracles, priciples list #44! Another miracle to get books from the library — I need a miracle
Wow did you know that homosexuality is not a choice it has to do with the genes so if your god is so great then why would he let that happen by the way im a spiritual satanist and we don’t hate anyone
Looks like andre Well’s god has lied to him yet again.
This is a really good study and I am surprised Andre is all that has poked his head up out of the scientific genetic studies to disturb the peace.
what happens to Born Again Christians who still struggle with sin and they die?I feel like I should know this, not sure and very concerned.Some Loved ones who love the Lord have died struggling with addictions. Looking for God’s Word to answer this. Can anyone HELP? The Word please, the Word. thank you.
My shoe came untied I think im cursed
The battle over what we refer to as addictions is a situation where we have not understood our freedom in Jesus Christ because if we are lead by the spirit then the flesh should not be in control i.e. addictions. The lies promoted by human wisdom does not support this truth.
Your spirit, if you are born again/born from above, does not and cannot die. John 11:26
Andre Wells does not understand what it means to be free in Christ Jesus.
If you really want to open a can of worms search Buddhism and Jesus. Addictions, I think are poppycock which aid in the realm of medicine and psychology to support them It goes down to philosophy, science (of which is psychology), and religion…cannot have one in total without the other…and within man is body, soul, spirit..(the Trinity of Father, Son, Holy Ghost)…is there the science of God.. in my mind is Love. Everything else is degrees of separation from that. Okay, off topic…what were we talking about? I do know that within a period of 3 days when it came to finality I was healed of bipolar, alcohol, eating disorder, anxiety…now..the rest is getting my head straight again and contemplating Jesus, Buddha, etc…to Enlightenment..the shebang. Never a dull moment…where was I? I do not know, but some where within the masses and churches and bowling alleys. I have Faith and religion..but will not always find them in the same place. 12 Step AA/NA? Have to start somewhere….it scares me though …but so does politics.
Seija,
I think it’s safe to say that ALL christians suffer with sin. Even Jesus was tempted with sin from the Devil and tested for 40 days and 40 nights. All that matters is that the blood of Jesus washes us, redeems us from every sin and circumstance. So every sin has already been paid for by the blood of Jesus, regardless of what that sin is. All HE requires to go to heaven is that we have accepted Jesus as our savior; believe that we have been redeemed – then HE writes our names in heaven. That is the only requirement to enter into heaven. Christians are not without sin. The difference is that as Christians we have spiritual freedom in Christ in knowing no matter what comes our way, we have eternal salvation that can NEVER be taken away. Here are scriptures that back this up:
“the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth
us from all sin.”
Leviticus 17:11, 14 (cp. Deuteronomy 12:23) “For the life of the flesh
is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an
atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement
for the soul…. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life
thereof …”
Revelation 12:11 “And they overcame him (Satan) by the blood
of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony …”
7. Hebrews 9:14 “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who
through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,
purge your conscience …”
There are many more scriptures that back this up…so many more. So please don’t be worried about the passing of your loved ones. Remember that it is the Lord’s timing and HIS alone. God does our battling for us and takes us home when it is time. Rest assured they are in a better place, now FREE from all addiction and sin, smiling and laughing with Jesus Christ. I hope this helps. Don’t listen to the lies of the enemy. He wants to use this as a wedge between you and the Lord to cause you to doubt your faith. Blessings to you and I hope this message reaches you soon enough. Father, I just come to you now and I plead the blood of Jesus over Seija and I come against any attacks of the enemy in the name of Jesus that are trying to confuse rob or steal from Seija’s faith. I ask for peace that passes all understanding to flow into Seija now. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen.
To Andre Wells,
I understand how you must feel. Could up please just read the book of John and then the book of Luke in the bible. Only God, not man has the right to condemn and I am not condemning you. I just believe that if you read both of these books, I would recommend newer versions – not King James – so that is easy to understand. I firmly believe that once you do this, you will open up the heavens and you will feel God’s eternal love for you and NO condemnation. Our God gently reveals the truth to us in a way that is comforting. The enemy causes us pain and destruction for EVERYONE. Please read and then if you have a moment post your thoughts on what you think after reading. Blessings to you. :0)
Thank you so much, indeed Peace that passes all understanding. I receive it, Praise God.
Laura,
Please do not take offense to me for correcting but Jesus fasted and prayed for 40 days and nights. This was preparation for the inevitable temptation brought by Satan to doubt God and God’s Word. Jesus showed us how to overcome satan by His example.
And Stephen, there is no Buddha connected to Jesus. You have accepted a lie or a few of them. If Jesus has set you free then you should know this.
Maizie,
No offense taken and thank you for explaining that way better than I did – LOL – in re-reading, I realize I didn’t quite state that correctly. I just wanted to get the point across that even Jesus had to deal with temptation, without trying to get too legalistic and keeping the focus on the fact that HE died for us on the cross – which is enough, as long as we have accepted him as our savior, we have the blessed assurance that we know where we are going when we die, regardless of what we go through here on earth and for each individual Christian, this may be different. And I also felt like Seija might be tested in this way also from the enemy, to doubt the God. Anyway, this was the point and I hope it helped.
Totally agree with you on no Buddha being connected to Jesus…Jesus IS the only way.
Blessings to you Maizie!
I agree, was mainly referring to a uhhum..’website’ making that claim. There seems to be a connection, as many of the words are quite similar (parables). Any explanation as how that can be? There also is a connection in the islam faith with Jesus, but do not know what exactly to believe other than what I’ve read on Wikipedia. Jesus remains the key for myself…thank you for making the call on this, Maizie. I have found writing now in CS Lewis in his book “Miracle” (he had been Atheist for a time)…regarding that few will accept Miracles without having gone through what all to many call being re-born…vs….redemption…vs (another word cannot recall). There is confusion in the terms out there, but I personally know what happened in the past year and it was nothing short of meeting God upon claiming Jesus as the redeemer. (hope I have terms correct). That book goes into also using close scrutinzation over lots of half-baked ‘truth’ out there in books and publications, as well as even clergy not fully ‘getting it’ by virtue of the very positions they are in to get lost in doctrine of their theologies and mind…can only not think to receive the Word of God in prayer and meditation, and understand the Bible more deeply in that way. Until 3 months ago, I had hardly cracked it open for a long time, now it is most fascinating. To find that much research is going on out there during Jesus’ ‘missing years’ in the Bible is a big puzzle, requiring a lot of scrutiny…the missing links.
The whys of othere religions using Jesus’ name in whatever way they do is for the universalism which is strongly coming our way. And to be sure satan copies and mimics (never creates). Once we have established in our heart that God is true, never lies or changes like shifting shadows then we can be confident in understanding the methods the enemy uses so he can steal, kill and destroy.
This article is exceptional. I have been praying, asking God to teach me about the legal rights and how to break them. After reading this article, He answered my prayer, plus a few more and He made sure it with step by step instructions which makes it so helpful.
Nobody really understands what these demons are capable of doing until they actually experience it for themselves. I’m a new Christian for about a year now and what I have experienced so far, I never would have believed before and I never would have been able to imagine either. Someone tried to tell me some of it years ago and I thought he was crazy and never wanted to talk to him again. This stuff is true no matter how much someone tries not to believe it and it doesn’t keep you safe from it either. Even my husband, who was an atheist at one time, believes because he saw and experienced it too. One can continue to be ignorant of the truth if they choose to do so, but I feel sorry for them because they’re missing out on so much.
What I don’t understand is when we don’t know about something, we usually read a book, take a class or find some way to learn about it. How can we say we know about something if we’ve never checked it out to find out for sure. I could never tell a carpenter, chemist or a brick layer they’re not doing their job right because I never learned about it. The same thing applies to God and the supernatural world, how does one know if they haven’t checked it out long enough to know anything about Him.
I never understood what “if you seek Me with all your heart, you will find Me” meant until this year and so far, it has been truly incredible. I feel like this whole world of God has been kept secret from me for all my life and in a way, I feel cheated, but the good thing is, I know it now and it’s only the beginning, I can’t imagine what else there is to learn because everyday I’m finding out more and more.
May God truly bless everyone and removes every blinder from their eyes, mind and heart, so they will be able to see the truth, be set free and have a very happy life.
I thought we were supposed to be like sheep holding on to just our faith. But I saw the verse saying if you have the strength and do not use it you will have your day of judgement. These are truly bad times with the worse to come. I constantly find myself asking dumb questions and finding wonderful answers. Thank you for being there.
It’s the first time visiting your site but now that God has shown me the way I’ll be back and spread the word.
thank you

Disarming the Saints: The Bible as Defective Weaponry
In Ephesians 6, the Bible calls itself “the sword of the Spirit.” Believers are told to take “the whole armour of God” so that we “may be able to withstand in the evil day.” Scripture is hereby likened to a weapon, and we are therefore expected to wield it. 2 Corinthians 10:4 makes it clear that we as followers of Christ are in a state of warfare. As believers, we are furnished by God with a variety of armaments with which to fight our battles. Since God has given us the ultimate offensive weapon, his word, it is to be used, not ignored or shunned.
Further, it is imperative that the believer trust his weaponry. No soldier wishes to go to battle with defective or unreliable armaments, and in the case of we saints, our God has not demanded of us that we fight battles with tools in a state of disrepair.
Knowing this, Satan has fought his side of the battle in part by attacking God’s word itself, and by convincing believers that they can not, and should not, rely upon it.
The Power of Scripture for the Believer
Jeremiah 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
In 2 Corinthians 10:5, we read that we are to actively resist “every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God” and that we are to bring “into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” How are we to do this, though? How do we take our thoughts captive and maintain obedience? The Bible tells us:
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
It is through God’s word that our thoughts are discerened. It is also knowledge of Scripture that prevents error:
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Scripture is our source of knowledge of doctrine and righteousness; our means of reproof and correction:
2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Many Christians believe that they will stay away from error simply through prayer and influence of the Holy Spirit. And yet in denying the power of God’s word, and refusing to rely on it, they reject the very means God has given them to avoid error. Is it any wonder that the Lord said:
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
The Power of Scripture Against Satan
We see the power of Scripture in the temptation of Jesus Christ by Satan:
Matthew 4:1-11 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Three times Satan tempted the Lord, and three times the Creator of the universe (John 1:3), who had the power to simply strike Satan out of all existence, answered: it is written. Let this sink in. Consider that your God in the flesh, while being tempted by the Devil himself, used the sword of the spirit as his rebuke! If Scripture is the weapon of choice for Christ, how dare anyone who claims to follow Christ assume a greater weapon is at our disposal.
Satan’s Attack on God’s Word: Yea, Hath God Said?
Satan knows the power of God’s word. In the temptation of Christ, we saw Satan twist Scripture to his own ends. Satan’s attack on the words of God is as old as Man:
Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
From the very beginning, Satan has cast doubt on God’s word in man, and then moving from doubt to outright denial:
Genesis 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
We see in Eve’s deception that Satan’s attack on God’s word begins with a seed of doubt, and then grows into open denial of God’s promises. Any such form of attack on God’s word, beginning with “Yea, hath God said,” must be instantly and completely rejected.
The Threat from Within: Manufacturing Defective Weaponry
2 Corinthians 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
Satan’s outward attack on God’s word is not enough for him. His battle against truth continues:
2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Scoffing Scholars and Dull Swords: a Seed of Unbelief
As we saw in the temptation of Christ, “it is written” is the ultimate rebuke against temptation and error. Remember that the Bible likens Scripture to a sword, which is a weapon used both offensively and defensively. In our protracted spiritual warfare, we must take on the armor God has promised us — we have no right to request otherwise, and will have no excuse if we ignore the Sword at our disposal.
Recall Satan’s method of planting the seed of doubt in Eve: “yea, hath God said?” And now consider how modern scholarship has planted seeds of doubt in believers about the trustworthiness of God’s words, in effect doing Satan’s bidding and asking, “yea, hath God said?”
Example: The deity of Jesus Christ
1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Have you ever been asked by someone caught up in a cult about the deity of Christ? Where do you turn to to answer? Can you say “it is written?” The above scripture quotation is taken from the King James Bible and it leaves no doubt whatsoever about the deity of Christ. It is written: God was manifest in the flesh!
But what of the “other swords” Christians may use?
And by common confession great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Beheld by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory. (NASB)
Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory. (NIV)
Much has been written about the reading of this verse, but the point here is that the reading “he who” does not provide for an authoritative “it is written” rebuke. Just “who” is he? The scholars say that you can go to another verse or footnote to deduce who “he” is, and that may well be the case2. But those scholars have given you a dull sword: the one God has given us answers with one swift slash, while the others require thrusts upon thrusts to deliver a similar blow.
Example: The Triune Nature of God
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Notice the powerfully decisive text of the King James Bible. In one verse, the very nature of God as a triune being is disclosed clearly. This is the most clear statement of the Trinity in the entire Bible. It is the only verse that mentions all three persons of the Godhead as being one. It should come as no surprise that the true reading of this verse has been viciously and ruthlessly under attack since the book of 1st John was written3. But what of the modern “swords?”
And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth. (NASB)
For there are three that testify: (NIV)
These modern swords, when it comes to the Trinity, are rusty and dull.
Instead of boldly proclaiming “it is written,” mounds of commentators have sheathed their swords with comments like these:
“It would be much easier to prove the doctrine of the Trinity from other texts, than to demonstrate the genuineness of this.” –Albert Barnes
“Though a conscientious believer in the doctrine of the ever blessed, holy, and undivided Trinity, and in the proper and essential Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, which doctrines I have defended by many, and even new, arguments in the course of this work, I cannot help doubting the authenticity of the text in question…” –Adam Clarke
“It is generally agreed that v.7 has no real authority, and has been inserted.” –C. I. Scofield
All three of the above commentators have generally good teachings in their writings, but they have all fallen prey to Satan’s attack on the veracity of Scripture in this instance. Contrast the unbelieving tone of the above statements with these bold writings:
“an express testimony of the triune Deity, by whatsoever carelessness or ill design left out of some copies, but sufficiently demonstrated by many most ancient ones” –Matthew Poole
“That there are three persons, yet but one God, that do bear witness to the divinity of Christ, and of the plenteous redemption wrought by him” –William Burkitt
“…which is to be understood, not only of their unity and agreement in their testimony, they testifying of the same thing, the sonship of Christ; but of their unity in essence or nature, they being the one God. So that, this passage holds forth and asserts the unity of God, a trinity of persons in the Godhead, the proper deity of each person, and their distinct personality, the unity of essence in that they are one; a trinity of persons in that they are three, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and are neither more nor fewer; the deity of each person, for otherwise their testimony would not be the testimony of God…” –John Gill
Mighty in the Scriptures or Just Disarmed?
Apollos was “mighty in the scriptures.” (Acts 18:24). One can scarcely imagine Apollos afraid to use the sword God gave him because a scholar claimed it wasn’t trustworthy. He “spoke boldly” (verse 18:26), and once he had the way of God expounded to him more perfectly, “he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.” (verse 28)
The critic will argue that there are no doctrines missing from modern versions, and that even when one verse is weaker than in the KJV, the whole of the doctrine can be found elsewhere. But this attitude towards God’s word is not Scriptural. Modern scholarship cannot deny that its teachings are often started with “yea, hath God said?”
When their new versions of the Bible contain footnotes telling the reader that the “oldest and best” manuscripts do not contain the last twelve verses of mark, or that 1st John 5:7 does not belong in the Bible, what is it except a seed of doubt? We have seen that this method of questioning what God said is Satan’s method for growing outright rebellion against God, as in the case of Eve’s deception. It is also clear that Satan wishes Christians to be ineffective warriors, and has been at work deceiving many into accepting defective weaponry. It is Satan’s goal to dull our sword, making us unwilling to trust it and wield it boldly.
Claiming that every doctrine is in there somewhere, each time something is weakened or deleted from the Bible, is not being “mighty in the scriptures.” Instead of clinging to a rusty, dull sword, boldly wield the complete and sharp sword of the Spirit: the King James Bible.
Thankyou so much for this site and the excellent information contained within it. I have been a Christian for nearly five years, I turned to God after many years of delving into the occult, at different times I read about, or sought teaching in the areas of astrology, wicca, clairvoyancem mediumship, astral travel, etc etc. I felt drawn to anything “new age” and also practiced a type of meditation called “kundalini” which I now understand prepares the path for possession. I now realise that I probably had not one but a number of demons working from inside my body, impelling me deeper and deeper into sin, and what was worse, I now understand from your site that I had given them ‘legal right’ to be there. Even as a Christan, worshipping god on Sundays, attending mass, and going to confession, these demons have remained inside my body for four and a half years, tormenting me when I try to sleep, attacking me during the night, sending me evil dreams, souring my relationships between friends and family, and taking away an pleasure in activities I used to enjoy including doing my artwork, eating food, and being intimate with my parter. I have suffered from horrible hallucinations (e.g. blood dripping down from walls) a horrible pressure inside my head, piercing noises when I try to sleep, the list goes on and on. I hope others will read this and learn from it. Now however I have hope, I am going to fast today and prey, and then ask the holy spirit what to do to get them out. I don’t feel able to combat them myself, I don’t feel strong enough and in my deepest of hearts, while it goes against what this site recommends I don’t feel that people should try to do this sort of stuff on their own. While god gave righs to the disciples I feel these were specially chosen people by God on earth to do his work for him. I think I am going to seek out a prayer ministry or some kind of other deliverance.
Clare, I am so thankful you are getting set free from those lies which entangle us.
I am going to put your name on my prayer wall which is in my kitchen.
Did you know that many false shepherds have introduced Kundalini to the church as the Holy Spirit?
I thank God for you.
“A demonic spirit’s favorite activity is making a person feel religious without an understanding of the Word of God.”
AC,there are spirits which specifically follow a particular person because of the nature of the person’s activities.
I once saw a spirit of gossip outside of a church. It looked like a cross between a cat and a monkey and it ran across my path and into the shadows of a vehicle parked in the parking lot. I was only visiting the church and when I told the friend who had invited me she said that they had had a problem in the church with the pastor’s wife gossiping. Perhaps it had been rebuked and sent away which is what I had seen. I didn’t see it with human eyes except I didn’t realize that until later.
The point is there are spirits which flock to a particular scene such as a spirit of lust in a bar.
There is an excellent list on this site which gives the demonic spirits and their heads. I have seen a spirit of murder roaming the streets. New Years Eve is a favorite for this spirit. I saw the spirit of murder looking to enter someone and the Lord told me to bind it and I did as He said. What a difference if more people would pray with the Lord’s leading.
I wanted to Thank You for the Artical above and for the Deliverence part of this prayer. I too was under Extream demonic attack. No one on this earth could free me of it. After finding your website… which I was lead to it By The Lord I believe I have taken the steps you suggested. It only happened this morning so I need to give it some time but I feel so much better and I know I will be free of them soon! My situation is very complicated But I wanted to Thank you and I thank God he brought me to find it. I was not even searching for this type of Information yet I eneded up here! Thank you so much! I feel as though after 50 years I have finally gotten my life back! God Bless you!
Hello, I have just read your article and plan to read the articles on all the links. I am concerned that my brother has been entered by a demon. I have always attributed his wild eyes, wild physical demeanor, pornography, hatred of not just me but of all women (he was accused of rape in the past, it did not go to court due to “lack of evidence” )to his drug and alcohol use. He is 46 and been using marijuana, alcohol , cocaine, and recently bath salts, since his teen years. However, recently on two occasions (March 14 at my other brother’s funeral and March 29 in my elderly mother’s home) I saw his eyes change in front of me, to a state I had never before seen. The first time was in a church, his eyes looked at first just the usual wild rage state – large, darker than normal and ‘wild” but then, suddenly , they appeared as dark holes for a few seconds. The second time was when he was in a rage state , although not physically aggressive, he was extremely verbally aggressive, his rant was sprinkled with perverse sexual references. (toward me – he has hated me since he was about 5 yrs old and I was about 14 yrs old. Brief history : he was adopted at several months old, he was the product of a drug/alcohol user pregnancy. He began exhibiting what I now know is paranoia at the age of four. I recall telling my parents “something is wrong with him Can’t you talk with his Dr? ” I even told them I had heard about doctors who help children whose “minds are not right” I knew little about psychiatry at that time , I know much more now. My parents, though staunch Roman Catholics, held no trust in psychiatric treatment, and felt prayer was the only answer, created an atmosphere at home in which everything my brother ever did was “hush hushed” We were a family of secrets…Good , wonderful parents who just wanted all of us to “be a happy family”. We looked great from the outside, but there was this growing problem with all of us , but most particularly with this brother I am writing to you about. He purposely and cruelly broke my other brother’s arm by twisting it behind his back until it snapped. He chased me, threatening my life, I slipped in a hole and fractured an ankle. Both times, he laughed and laughed in a clearly evil way. That particular laugh is not something human…. He tortured animals, I do not mean mistreat, I do mean TORTURE, caught once by me, twice by neighbors. He was fascinated with matches and fire, guns and knives, and also locks and deadbolts. He has rarely been in any legal trouble at all; he has lived quietly and stays home most of the time. He works in a business for himself where he sets his own schedule and can work that around his drinking and so on. People in the community think he is just so nice, friendly and so on. He is very much the con artist type of personality. Although there are those who have told me of their concerns for his “strange personality” and his “anger and hatred”. I have always chalked up his complete and I do mean complete brainwashing of my elderly mother to his “personality” – conning and other skills. On March 10th a few weeks ago , my other brother, 47 yrs old and mentally challenged, passed away unexpectedly. He was my mother’s “golden child” – her “forever baby”. She doted on him and is at this time in deep grieving and is extremely vulnerable, due to that and her moderate dementia. At his funeral, and at my mother’s home one evening, I have seen the brother I am writing about says horrible things to me, even aloud DURING my brother’s funeral, in the church. When I looked at him I saw his physical state and eyes change to a darker color (anger, rage) but suddenly, I saw two black holes , just for a few seconds and his face contorted just as fleetingly; the smile on his face was so sinister, like nothing I had ever seen before. The first time, I heard a voice say – or a thought put into my head? – “My presence is stronger than Satan and I am here.” I had instant peace and began to pray. At that moment , my brother broke eye contact with me and would not make eye contact with me at all over the next few hours. (he usually glares at me when we are at family functions ) The seecond time, at my Mom’s home on March 29th, I simply said “Satan be gone from this man” and I really had no idea what to say or do… I had just been recently told by a friend to say that. His response was to scream a few more disgusting things, and then he slumped into a chair and would not look at me anymore. I repeated the phrase, saw him slump more and then a friend of my mother’s led him by the arm out of the room, this amazed me. He would not normally allow ANYONE to do that.
I have no idea what to do. I feel like a toddler trying to take a college class. I do not talk about this with many people at all or they will think I am “nutz”. You must know how these things are perceived by many others if you talk about it . BUT, I am truly and firmly convinced I am witnessing something I have never ever seen before. I have heard of it in the Bible many places, and of course Hollywood has taken great and misinformed liberties with such things in blockbuster movies. Movies are where I found out that possession, oppression , by Satan and his demons is possible. Later, I learned more, the truths, in the Bible.
I do not feel afraid, I feel ill equipped to know what to do. I want this resolved (what a benign word for such a thing) because my brother will never be well physically and will never be Saved with this happening . I want my mother to be safe from him too, psychologically , physically. I know she has no idea what is happening.
Since the first time this happened on March 14th, I have enlisted 7 prayer teams, 7 different churches , to pray for his release, or deliverance. I will ask more as I encounter folks from different faith traditions.
One last thing, my brother has on several occasions screamed at me that he is a Catholic (although he does not practice and is as far as I know, not saved either.) And in these wild moments, these rants, he will throw up to me that I am STILL a Catholic no matter what. He knows this will endear my mother to him, who was always upset about me “leaving the church”. In fact, I now suspect that has been one of his ways of re-endearing himself to her – because some things that he was screamed at me, she has said to me in THE EXACT SAME WORDING. Or at least, that is what I used to think when he raised this topic. I have now come to believe this is Satan using her zealous Catholicism and his lack of any commitment to Jesus Christ as tool. And it now seems to me that Satan is , through his demon(s), is taunting me and challenging my Christianity, my full acceptance of Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, my love of Jesus. When my brother has raised this topic, his voice deepens and is “scratchy”, his eyes go wilder, his neck is taut. He also leans in toward me more than usual.
Can you or anyone else reading this suggest any course of action for me? thank you
This spirits in your brother can be bound. You have authority over demons in the name of Jesus/Luke 10″:19 and to be sure, satan is a liar.
This means you can tell the demons to be quiet, to be still and to not manifest, speak or communicate to anyone or thing and bind the strongman who is the doorkeeper of demons in your brother and then when all is bound, gagged and been told to desist(this is on this site and its about commanding the demons thusly)
I do not believe that your brother has ever been allowed by satan to receive love. Satan has “owned him” and has tortured him the whole of his life it seems.
Think about this: When Abraham gathered the animals for the covenant with God as per God’s instructions and Abraham cut them in half except for the birds and placed them opposite each other, Abraham had to fight the vultures off. These vultures were demonic and were trying to prevent God’s covenant from being effected.
We are still running vultures and buzzards off even today. They have to flee when we tell them to flee in Jesus name! Praise God!
Does anyone still help cast out, suicidal demons,homosexual demons??
I would be willing to cleanse the evil jinn
If there is any that is multifaithed an willing…
