The following is a suggested list of items to remove from our homes and churches; however, it is not an exhaustive list. God may place something on your heart to remove from your home that is not on this list.
AFRICAN MASKS (see my document on ‘voodoo/witch doctor’)
ALL AROMA THERAPY (a new-age product, the label will typically say for the mind, body, and spirit – aroma therapy is holistic healing:in holistic healing they try to treat not only the body but the person’s spirit, the problem is this physical/spiritual healing has nothing to do with God’s Holy Spirit; also see my document on ‘perfumed oil’)
ANKH CROSS (named after Egypt’s king Tutankhamun whom they falsely believed was a god)
ANY BOOKS OR MOVIES THAT ATTEMPT TO BRING THE SALVATION MESSAGE USING MYTHOLOGY (Job 14:4:Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?not one.Christians are embracing mythology without realizing the evil that is associated to it – or the evil spirits that are inspiring it.Myths are lies – and Satan is the father of lies.John 8:44:Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. How can you tell God’s true message of salvation using a lie – myth?)
ANY CHARMS/AMULETS (anything used as an instrument of good luck, power, healing, fortune, etc all are witchcraft; *this includes charms or pendants with Jesus, saints, angels, or Mary)
ANY MOVIES CONTAINING HORROR, ESPECIALLY VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES (*for important information about the vampire and the very real evil sexual spirit behind its legend see my document on ‘Lilith and vampirism’; and for important information on the were-wolf see my document on ‘Lycanthropy or mental shape-shifting’ – watching these movies is not entertaining but is spiritually dangerous*)
ANY TYPE OF FETISH (Encarta Dictionary:“magical object, object of obsession, or object arousing sexual desire”.This can even include having a picture or poster of a famous person who sexually arouses us!)
ANY PICTURES OR STATUES OF EGYPTIAN GODS
ANY TYPE OF FREEMASONRY SYMBOLISM (their personal logo is the draftsman compass and ruler with a ‘G’ in the middle – Freemasonry is an organization that follows and practices Egyptian mysticism and ancient mythology, including phallus worship.This is reinforced and proven through all of their pagan and idolatrous symbolism; see my document for more about the cult of ‘Freemasonry’)
ANY STATUES OR PICTURES THAT ARE PART HUMAN AND PART ANIMAL (animal spirit guides are symbolic of the shaman – shaman means witch doctor)
ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANIMISM OR ANCESTOR WORSHIP (Encarta Dictionary:“animism is the belief that things in nature, e.g. trees, mountains, sky, have souls or consciousness” – in ancestor worship they pray to their dead ancestors (a practice called necromancy), they also light candles for them, asking them to be their spirit guide; see my document on ‘voodoo/witch doctor’)
ANYTHING HAVING A DEATH THEME (including death masks; taxidermy animals; or animal hides with teeth, ears, and eye sockets in tact – this is ritualistic; also remove all crucifix and saint images/amulets/statues because they represent death (see my document on the ‘Roman Catholic Church’)
ANYTHING TO DO WITH FALSE GODS (example:African, Indian, Mayan, Egyptian, Eastern, Roman, Greek, Norwegian [example of a Norwegian god is the Norske god Odin], etc. – Exodus 20:3 and Deuteronomy 5:7:Thou shalt have no other gods before me.)
ANYTHING TO DO WITH FALSE RELIGION AND/OR ITS PRACTICES (including its pagan images/icons).Note:Christianity is the Only True religion; however, the religious icons and images associated with Christianity are just man’s tradition, and man’s tradition is false.Though the names of these traditional images and icons have been changed and they have been given Biblical names the origin behind religious images and icons is still pagan – it is still idolatry!
ANYTHING TO DO WITH HOROSCOPES (the belief that a person’s future can be told “based on the position of the planets in relation to the sign of the zodiac” [Encarta Dictionary]; in other words astrology – astrology is witchcraft)Deuteronomy 18:10-12 [observer of times], Galatians 5:19-21 [witchcraft]; astrology is not the same as astronomy – [Encarta Dictionary] “astronomy is the scientific study of the universe”)
ANYTHING FROM MARDI-GRA (check history of mardi-gra and you will find this involves the worship of Tammuz, a vegetation god; see Ezekiel Chapter 8 for God’s response to the worship of Tammuz!)
ANYTHING TO DO WITH MARTIAL ARTS (based on the false religious principle of Taoism; see my document on ‘martial arts’)
ANYTHING TO DO WITH PORNOGRAPHY – INCLUDING CHRISTIAN PORNOGRAPHY (see my document on ‘pornography’)
ANYTHING TO DO WITH MYTHOLOGY; INCLUDING CHRISTIAN MYTHOLOGY ABOUT DEMONS (see a dictionary Thesaurus for a list of mythological characters, the thesaurus classifies them as ‘demons’ – these characters are popularized in most children’s books and movies; also see my document on ‘myths and fairy tales’ and ‘mythology’.*Very important, see my document on ‘Christian mythology’)
ANYTHING PERTAINING TO VOODOO; VOODOO MASKS, VOODOO DOLLS, OR ANY VOODOO PARAPHERNALIA (see my document on ‘voodoo/witch doctor’)
ANYTHING TO DO WITH NATURE WORSHIP (Romans 1:25:Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.Amen.The Greek word for ‘creature’ in Romans 1:25 is “ktisis, ktis’-is; …creation, creature”.Hebrews 11:3:Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.The New Living Translation reads:By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.Nature did not create itself – and nature is not to be worshipped!)
ANYTHING PERTAINING TO NEW-AGE (“Generally the New Age borrows its theology from pantheistic Eastern religions and its practices from 19th century Western occultism”.Quotation from Watchman Fellowship’s 2001 Index of Cults and Religions.Pantheism is the belief in all deities.See my document about the ‘new-age movement’)
ANYTHING TO DO WITH PALM READING, OR READING TEA LEAVES
ANYTHING WITH SUPERNATURAL POWERS/ENERGY SOURCES INCLUDING GAMES, VIDEOS & TELEVISION SHOWS
ANYTHING TO DO WITH WITCHCRAFT/WICCA (this includes fairy tale books, movies, decoration, toys, clothes, jewelry, etc) – a perfect example of wicca [white witchcraft] is BEWITCHED AND ENDORA, if you think these names were just randomly picked then look at the names in the following scriptures!
·Acts 8:9, 11:But there was a certain man called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one.I Samuel 28:7:Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her.And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.I Chronicles 10:13:So Saul dies for his transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the Lord:therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
·Galatians 5:19-21:Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.I amnot saying that you will not go to heaven for watching Bewitched.I am just showing you through scripture how serious witchcraft is!
ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOGA, PILATES, AURIC HEALING, REIKI [channeling energy], FENG SHUI, REFLEXOLOGY, HEALING MAGNETISM (includes magnetic bracelets, bands, insoles, back braces, mattresses, etc. – healing magnetism allegedly generates a life-force within one's own Self)
AVATAR (a popular children’s cartoon this is the name of a supreme god in Hindu philosophy/religion – in their religion, their false gods even have their own false god [avatar] who reigns over them)
BEAR STATUES AND AMULETS (power animal spirit guide; see my document on ‘bear statues and amulets’)
BEVERAGES NAMED AFTER NATURE (such as:earth, wind, fire, rain, etc; or beverages that are for the mind, body, and spirit; this includes tea; always read labels)
BONES OR TAXIDERMY (All bones are to return to the ground; Genesis 2:19:And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.Ecclesiastes 3: 19-20:For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.Genesis 3:19:In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it was thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.Psalm 146:4:His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.I know that in taxidermy they put a mold under the animal’s skin and that it is not really the animal’s bones; however, the mold itself is still a sculptured or graven image and a likeness of the animal.)
BONSAI TREES (one’s that have been shaped as a false god at the time of purchase, or that have a paper claiming they bring good fortune)
BOOKS CONJURING UP ANGELS, VISIONARY DREAMS, OR LUCID DREAMING (Jeremiah 29:8:For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.Jeremiah 23:25:I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.Ecclesiastes 5:7:For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also diversvanities: but fear thou God.Books on lucid dreaming teach people to control their dreams and how to experience astral projection – out of body.)
BUDDHA STATUES AND PICTURES (some Buddha statues even have rosary beads [see my document on ‘Roman Catholicism/Catholicism’ for information about rosary beads, all rosary beads are witchcraft]; also see my document on ‘Buddhism’ for additional information about Buddha and how his images (fat and skinny) are linked to both anorexia and bulimia)
CROSSES WITH A ROSE ON THEM (symbolic of Rosicrucianism)
CRYSTAL BALLS, OR NEW-AGE BALLS (some new-age balls look like a crystal disco ball)
CRUCIFIX (see my document on ‘pictures of Jesus’)
DIFFERENT CROSSES (see my document on ‘pictures of Jesus’)
DRAGON BALL Z (Japanese animation, its uncut versions contain “villains either threatening or committing acts of mass murder or outright genocide”; quotation from Wikipedia, The free encyclopedia)
DRAGON STATUES AND IMAGES (In scripture Satan is referred to as a dragon and he can surely use an image/idol of one as a spiritual doorway into a person’s home!Psalm 91:13; Revelation 12:3-4, 7, 9, 13, 16-17; 13:2-4, 11; 16:13; 20:2.A dragon is paraded in the street during the annual Matsuri (Japanese religious festival) an event originally created to “appease the gods” [Wikipedia Encyclopedia].The dragon is often akin to the serpent – and both the dragon and the serpent are Biblical comparisons to Satan.Dragons are also very popular in martial arts.See my document on ‘martial arts’)
DUNGEONS & DRAGONS
EAGLE FEATHERS/DREAM CATCHERS (These donot take away bad dreams, the fact is, they encourage evil visitation.Witchcraft/wives tales.I Timothy 4:7:But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.Also, see my document on ‘eagle image’)
EASTERN MEDITATION BALLS OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH EASTERN MEDITATION (see my document on ‘Eastern transcendental meditation’)
EGYPTIAN SOUVENIRS (We are supposed to be coming out of Egyptian bondage, not bringing it into our home and turning our home into a house of bondage.Deuteronomy 8:14:Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.)
FAIRIES (popular in new-age false religion; also see my document on ‘myths and fairy tales’)
FANTASY ROLE PLAYING GAMES, VIDEOS, & BOOKS
FROG STATUES/AMULETS (in new-age false belief frog amulets supposedly have healing properties, however, these man-made images do not bring healing but spiritually promote infirmity/sickness; see my document on ‘frog statues/amulets’ – important scriptural reference included)
GARGOYLES (usually placed on the outer walls at Roman Catholic Cathedrals as some sort of protectors; Ezekiel 8:9-10:And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.)
GAZING BALLS (usually found in yards, gardens, etc all are new-age)
GEISHA DOLLS AND PICTURES (Though some of the geisha’s arts may not include prostitution they do include false ritual dance to Shinto gods called “kami”.See Shintoism in Japanese history.Kami are the same false gods sumo’s entertain during each fight.For more on the ‘Geisha’ see my document on ‘Geisha’)
GNOMES (see my document on "myths and fairy tales")
GREAT SPHYNX (bestiality)
HAWAIIAN LEI (those worn by hula dancers are usually dedicated to false gods; check Hawaiian culture)
HEAVY METAL MUSIC (this includes the so-called Christian heavy metal)
HOODOO (African folk magic)
IMAGES (STATUES/PICTURES) OF LIONS, EAGLES, AND LEOPARDS (see my documents for information on the ‘eagle image’; ‘leopard skin or leopard pattern’; and the ‘lion image’)
IMAGES OF SUN, MOON, AND STARS WITH FACES ON THEM, OR STARS THAT GLOW IN THE DARK; usually placed on the ceiling in a child’s room (Deuteronomy 17:2-3:If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded.Also see Deuteronomy 4:19; II Kings 17:16; Jeremiah 19:13; Zephaniah 1:5; Acts 7:43.In Acts 7:42-43 the Greek word for ‘host’ is “stratia, strat-ee’-ah; …the angels, the celestial luminaries”.Celestial luminaries are the sun, moon, and stars.See my document on ‘Roman Catholicism/Catholicism’ for information concerning worship of the host of heaven, especially sun worship; also see my document on the ‘host of heaven’ for an important comment)
INDIAN MEDICINE WHEEL (shaped like an encircled plus (+) sign it represents the directional, or elemental, spirits in witchcraft – this encircled plus sign [Indian medicine wheel] is divination (witchcraft); this design is also found on the Roman Catholic wafer, commonly referred to as the ‘host’.Deuteronomy 4:19:And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.)
INFORMATION ON FAMILY TREE (only if you have a lot of bondage in your family history: i.e. homosexuality, divorce, alcoholism, suicide, etc.)
KACHINA DOLLS (Indian spirit lore; they symbolize false gods)
KOKOPELLI (in Hopi mythology symbolic of abundance and fertility)
MAGIC EIGHT BALL
MARY AND ALL ROMAN CATHOLIC SAINTS (paintings/pictures, statues, or jewelry; anything symbolic of their rituals [sacraments], rosary beads, holy water, etc; see my document on the ‘Roman Catholic Church)
MASKS MADE OF REAL ANIMAL HYDE (especially if they still have ears, teeth, eye sockets, etc this is ritualism)
MOVIES, BOOKS, AND VIDEO GAMES CONTAINING HORROR, MYTHOLOGY, WITCHCRAFT, OTHER SATANIC CONTENT, SCI-FI, ETC
MOVIES IMPLYING ANY TYPE OF SEXUAL ACT, THIS INCLUDES MOVIES ABOUT FORNICATION, ADULTERY, PEDOPHILIA, AND HOMOSEXUALITY; OR SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THE DEAD, WITH SPIRITS, OR WITH ANIMALS (Leviticus 18:23:Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith:neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto:it is confusion.Leviticus 20:15:And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death:and ye shall slay the beast.Deuteronomy 27:21:Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast.And all the people shall say, Amen.The Bible is very clear on its stand against fornication, adultery, and homosexuality.I Corinthians 6:9:Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind.The Greek word for ‘effeminate’ in I Corinthians 6:9 is “malakos, mal-ak-os’; of uncertain affection; soft, i.e. fine (clothing); fig. a catamite.A catamite is a pedophile!The Encarta Dictionary definition of a ‘catamite’ is:“young partner of gay man; a boy kept by a man for sexual intercourse”.The Greek word for ‘abusers’ in I Corinthians 6:9 is “arsenokoites, ar-sen-ok-oy’-tace; …a sodomite… abuser of (that defile) self with mankind”.Leviticus 18:22:Thou shalt not lie with mankind, and with womankind:it is abomination.Donot lie with your own kind (gender).This means homosexuality!Leviticus 20:13:If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination:they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.Also see Romans 1:21-27)
MOVIES THAT PROMOTE TIME/MIND TRAVEL – the equivalent to out of body [astral projection]; or the false belief that a person could have lived before in another time, which is the false belief of reincarnation.(Ecclesiastes 3:1-2:To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.A time to be born, and a time to die…; Hebrews 9:27:And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.)
MUSIC OR MOVIES CONTAINING IMMORAL WORDS AND SUGGESTIONS (Galatians 5:19-21:Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.)
NATIVITY SCENE (includes image of Mary; mother/child images were used by the Egyptians as objects of false reverence; also, when the wise men brought gifts to Jesus He was not a baby but would have been approximately 2 years of age – the nativity scene is scripturally inaccurate – and it is nothing more than idolatry)
ORIENTAL MASKS/ORIENTAL CLOWNS (ritualistic face painting; see my document on the ‘geisha’ for an important comment about face painting)
OUIJA BOARD (this is not a game but a spiritual doorway to Satan’s evil spirit realm; also promotes necromancy which is forbidden by God in Deuteronomy 18:10-11;The Hebrew word for ‘spirits’ in Deuteronomy 18:11 is “owb, obe; …a mumble …skin (from its hollow sound); hence, a necromancer (ventriloquist, as speaking from a jar)… bottle… familiar spirit”.)
OWL STATUES/AMULETS (Hebrew meaning of the word owl (taken fromIsaiah 34:14) is Liyliyth or lee-leeth. The Hebrew word ‘owl’ in Isaiah 34:14 is “Liyliyth, lee-leeth’; a night spectre, screech owl”. *Very important see my document on Lilith)
PICTURES WHERE BABIES LOOK AS IF THEY ARE GROWING OUT OF THE GROUND OR OUT OF VEGETABLES OR FLOWERS (these pictures insinuate that babies come from nature; but all babies are created in the image of God; Genesis 1:26-27)
PICTURES OF A PERSON IN A CASKET (the clothes they died in, or their hair, teeth, etc.); any obituaries of a person who may have committed suicide (or their suicide note); any letters you may have written directly to a person after they died (whether their death was through suicide, accident, or a natural death) writing to the dead is necromancy – and necromancy is forbidden by God (Deuteronomy 18:9-12); also remove any ashes from the dead, they should not be in your home, they need to be buried.Scripture tells us in both Genesis and in psalm that people are to return to the dust of the earth from which they were created.Genesis 2:7:And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.Genesis 3:19:In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it was thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.Psalm 146:4:His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.[The ashes of cremation are not really the dust of the earth from which people are created, but if you have someone’s ashes you still need to bury them!]I also strongly recommend that you put any pictures you may have of a person (taken while they were alive, but now they are passed away) into a photo album.Do not hang them on the wall where you will see them every day because this will make it emotionally harder for you to heal after their death.By placing their pictures in a photo album you will not see them daily but can periodically take the photo album out in remembrance of them, allowing yourself time to heal.And never keep any pictures or videos of a person who is actually dead in the picture!You need to get rid of those. *Also see my document on ‘suicide’ for additional information)
PICTURES OF CEMETARIES
PICTURES OF MUMMIES, OR BURIAL GROUNDS
PICTURES AND STATUES OF ANGELS (this includes the male, female (which is actually Lilith), and the so-called baby angel, which is really cupid; ask for my document on ‘cupid’, and for my document on ‘angel statues and images’ and most important on ‘Lilith’; also in Acts 7:42-43 the Greek word for ‘host’ is “stratia, strat-ee’-ah; …the angels, the celestial luminaries”.)
PICTURES AND STATUES OF JESUS (including pictures found within the pages of the Bible [especially old Bibles], or pictures that someone claim is the actual image of Jesus, pictures of the Lord’s Supper, pictures of the finger of God touching the finger of man, or any of the so-called religious and many times naked paintings by Michelangelo and Davinci; *Very important: see information concerning religious pornography in my document on ‘pornography’, also see my document about ‘pictures of Jesus’.Scriptural warning against pictures of Jesus!Acts 17:29-30:Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.Colossians 2:8-9:Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.Romans 1:20-32:For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.*)
PICTURES/IMAGES OF ANY PAGAN MONUMENTS (this includes the Statue of Liberty and the Washington monument, or obelisk; see my documents on ‘Freemasonry’ or on ‘Paganism and the Statue of Liberty’ for more on America’s pagan monuments)
PICTURES/IMAGES OF ANY PYRAMIDS (including Mayan flat-topped pyramids because they were used for human, many times child, sacrifice)
PICTURES OF STONEHENGE (astrological monument)
PICTURES OR STATUES OF WARRIOR INDIANS (full headdress and/or peace pipe; each feather being symbolic of an achievement done while under the direction of a false spirit guide, and usually accompanied with meditation)
POKEMON (this is nothing more than dungeons & dragons for kids)
POWER CRYSTALS AND BEADS (this includes jewelry, such as: necklaces with a power crystal, karma bracelets, mood rings, etc)
SCIENCE FICTION (Ephesians 6:12:For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.)
SNAKE STATUES AND IMAGES (In scripture Satan is referred to as a serpent; he also used a serpent to beguile Eve – he can surely use an image/idol of one as a spiritual doorway into our home!II Corinthians 11:3; Revelation 12:9, 14-15; 20:2)
STAR OF DAVID (Pagan image the bible refers to as the star of Remphan. Acts 7:43: Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. Though you may not worship it remember it is still an object of reverence (worship) and is a pagan object. Also see my document on "host of heaven".)
SWASTIKA
TALISMAN (amulet)
TIKI (a large talisman – magical object)
TOTEM POLES (are associated with ancestral spirits; also, totems usually depict the false animal spirit worshipped by the family as the clan’s spirit guide. Isaiah 44:19: …shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?)
TAPES OR CD’S ON GREGORIAN CHANTING
TAPES OR CD’S OF INDIAN/AFRICAN DRUMMING, ETC; AND/OR THEIR CHANTING (ritual of channeling spirits)
TAPES, CD’S, OR EVEN INSTRUMENTS (i.e. rain sticks) WITH THE SOUNDS OF NATURE (used in false eastern meditation)
TAROT CARDS
THEATRE MASKS WITH A SMILE AND FROWN (cause mood swings of extreme happiness or extreme sadness)
THINGS DUG UP FROM ANY TYPE OF SACRED GROUNDS (especially sacred burial grounds)
THINGS FROM A FUNERAL (such as: statues of angels, wreaths, etc; see my document on ‘wreaths’)
UNICORNS (in Psalm 92:10 scripture mentions the word unicorn but it is not themythological unicorn. It comes from the Hebrew word “rem, rame; a wild bull”)
VENTRILOQUISM DOLLS AND/OR ANYTHING TO DO WITH VENTRILOQUISM OR PANTOMIME (The Hebrew word for ‘spirit(s)’ in Leviticus 19:31; Leviticus 20:6; Leviticus 20:27; Deuteronomy 18:11; I Samuel 28:7-8; II Kings 21:6; II Kings 23:24; I Chronicles 10:13; Isaiah 8:19; and Isaiah 19:3 is “owb, obe; …a mumble …skin (from its hollow sound); hence, a necromancer (ventriloquist, as speaking from a jar)… bottle… familiar spirit”. Owb, obe is also the same Hebrew word for ‘spirit’ in Isaiah 29:4: And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust. This scripture more accurately describes the voice of ventriloquism! Also see Deuteronomy 18:10-11 and Isaiah 8:19. (Important, see my documents on ‘ventriloquism’ and ‘pantomime’)
VIDEOS, GAMES, TOYS, AND BOOKS ABOUT SHAPE-SHIFTING AND ANIMAL MORPHISM (this is a form of lycanthropy – mental shape-shifting; see my document on ‘Lycanthropy or mental shape-shifting’)
WIND CHIMES (in Chinese false religious philosophy it is believed that some wind chimes ward off what they refer to as bad chi [life energy], wind chimes are tuned to ward off evil – but in reality draw evil spirits)
WITCHCRAFT BOOKS
WOLF STATUES/PICTURES (popular image/power animal of the shaman; also see my document on ‘Lycanthropy or mental shape-shifting’)
WREATHS OF GARLAND (a plant used as a form of false worship is ‘garland’; this information is found in the Bible. Acts 14:11-15: And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and ‘garlands’ unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out. And saying sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein. The Greek word for ‘garlands’ in Acts 14:13 is “stemma, stem’-mah; …a wreath for show”. Today we use wreaths of garland as decoration when they were used to worship the false gods Jupiter and Mercurius. Sacrifice was also part of this false worship! (Which may explain why some wreaths are used today as a symbol of death! If you have a wreath(s) from a funeral I would not keep it, even if it is not made out of garland!)
YIN/YANG SYMBOL (based on the Taoistic principle of the balance of forces, Taoism is a false religion; see my document on ‘martial arts’); TRIPLE YIN/YANG SYMBOL (known as "gankyil" or "wheel of joy" is Buddhist in origin third part represents Tantric Yoga which is sexual in origin)
YU-GI-OH (Japanese animation involving “magic and wizards”; quotation taken from Wikipedia, The free encyclopedia)
Note: I have included a list of scriptures (for easy reference) at the end of this document regarding images/idols, but it is not an exhaustive list. Check your Bible concordance for other scriptures. Also, see my document for information on the subject of ‘unholy sexual cords’. In the case of unholy or unnatural cords it may mean getting rid of personal items that a person(s) you had an unholy connection with gave you, such as: pictures, letters or love letters, cards, clothing, jewelry, trinkets, and especially religious décor, etc.In extreme cases you may even need to remove their pictures from your school year book.
The following is a list of un-Godly practices. If you (or your ancestors) have ever participated in any of these, please say the prayer of repentance that follows. Again, this list is not exhaustive.
ABORTION (either had an abortion or performed an abortion)
ALCHEMY (using divination to try and change metal into gold)
ANIMAL ABUSE OR TORTURE (Proverbs 12:10:A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.)
ANY COMMUNICATION WITH FAMILIAR SPIRITS, SPIRIT GUIDES, ANCESTRAL SPIRITS
ANY USE OF INSTRUMENTS SUPPOSEDLY REPRESENTING GOOD LUCK, OR WISHES/WIVES FABLES (I Timothy 4:7: But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.)
ANY TYPE OF LEVITATION (Whether lifting a person, or object; levitation is done through evil spirits who lift the person or object off the ground! People need to beware what they are practicing.)
ANY TYPE OF BODY MUTILATION (see my document on ‘body piercing’ it contains information about how our young people are dangerously hanging from meat hooks in order to obtain an out of body experience)
ANY FORM OF MARTIAL ARTS (the many different styles of martial arts are all based on the spiritual principle of Taoism, which is a false religion; martial arts yin/yang symbol signifies their connection with Taoism which is the balance of forces; see my document for more information regarding ‘martial arts’)
ANYTHING TO DO WITH VOODOO (black magic), OR HOODOO (African folk magic)
ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOGA, PILATES, AURIC HEALING, REIKI [channeling energy], FENG SHUI, REFLEXOLOGY, HEALING MAGNETISM (includes magnetic bracelets, bands, insoles, back braces, mattresses, etc. – healing magnetism allegedly generates a life-force within one's own Self)
ASTRAL PROJECTION OR OUT OF BODY (see my document on ‘hypnosis’)
ASTROLOGY
AUTOMATIC WRITING/PAINTING (see my document concerning ‘trances’)
BELIEF IN DÉJÀ VU (In this false belief an evil spirit attempts to persuade a person into believing that they (the person) have visited a certain place before, a place that the person has never really been; then the evil spirit will give the person false memories of that place, the place which they have never visited – but the evil spirit has!)
BELIEF IN EASTER BUNNY (Before teaching your kids this you need to look up the pagan fertility goddess “Ishtar”)
BELIEF IN KARMA (Hindu & Buddhist philosophy)
BELIEF IN REINCARNATION (Hebrews 9:27: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.)
BELIEF IN SANTA CLAUS (Many think it is alright to teach their kids about Santa as long as they tell them there was once a real man named St. Nicholas who gave gifts. The problem with this is that St. Nicholas is now dead. So in their eyes how are the presents getting under the tree? By teaching them about the real St. Nicholas they are teaching them the practice of necromancy (which the Bible forbids in Deuteronomy 18:11)! They are in essence teaching their kids that the spirit of this dead man is coming to their home to leave gifts. Or, that the mythological Santa is a channel for the real St. Nicholas. Any type of communication or interaction with the dead is forbidden by God! See my list of subjects under necromancy. Also, the word santo means ‘holy’ in the Spanish language. In Spanish, the Holy Bible is called the “Santa Biblia”. Use of the word santa during the Christmas season is an obvious depiction of holiness, especially since he is supposed to be a type of representation of a Saint (St. Nicholas). The mythical Santa Claus is a mockery because he is neither holy; nor is he all knowing – as the world tries to portray him. God is the only one who is all knowing (omnipotent). If you do not think that teaching your children to believe in Santa Claus is spiritually harmful you are deceived, because to the world Santa is the spiritual replacement or equivalent to Jesus Christ. Santa Claus is even portrayed with white hair just like the Biblical description of Jesus in Daniel and Revelation. Daniel 7:9: I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.Revelation 1:14: His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire. Again, if you do not believe the world compares Santa Claus with Jesus then why does the mythological Santa look like the Biblical description of Jesus? Santa even has a throne! Santa is also supposed to know everything you have done and judge you on the list he has made of your works. Does this sound familiar? Revelation 20:12: And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Also, why is Santa portrayed with a sparkle in his eye – comparable to the flames in Jesus’ eyes in the book of Revelation? You also need take a look at what scripture says about the so-called Christmas tree! Jeremiah 10:2-4: Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. We had better be careful what we are participating in – especially when we do not know the real spiritual nature behind it!)
BELIEVING IN MOTHER NATURE (see my document on the fallacy of believing in ‘mother nature’; Genesis 1:1: In the beginning Godcreated the heaven and the earth.)
BIO-FEEDBACK (learning to control your body through altered states of consciousness)
BLACK OR WHITE MAGIC (white being Wicca)
BLOOD DRINKING (Leviticus 17:10, 14: And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.)
BLOOD PACTS (This includes becoming blood brothers through cutting and exchanging blood from your open wound to another person’s open wound; without realizing the spiritual danger of this practice many consider it to be a childhood game – but it is far from a game!)
BODY PIERCING IN PRIVATE PARTS (a person who is in sexual slavery [bondage] will many times unwittingly pierce certain parts of their body. They in essence become a slave (physically and spiritually) to the sin they are committing using those body parts. In the Bible piercing was a symbol of servanthood, or slavery. Exodus 21:6: Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever. Deuteronomy 15:17: Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise. Also, see my document on ‘body piercing’)

CRYSTAL BALLS
CUTTING/SELF-TORTURE/RITUAL ABUSE (I Kings 18:28: And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. They were cutting themselves as part of a ritual to their false god Baal! Also, see my document on ‘Gnosticism’ and on ‘Buddhism’)

INCUBUS AND SUCCUBUS (evil sexual spirits; see your dictionary)
INDIAN/AFRICAN DRUMMING, ETC; AND/OR CHANTING
INDIAN SWEAT LODGES (false spiritual cleansing and rebirth, supposedly a means of spiritual purification from evil spirits; it is considered to be the spiritual womb of mother earth – belief in mother earth is unscriptural and it is nature worship; see my document on the fallacy of believing in ‘mother nature’; Genesis 1:1: In the beginning Godcreated the heaven and the earth.)
IRIDOLOGY (similar to palm reading except they read your eyes)
LAMAZE (this is a controlled breathing method that can have a lasting, and spiritually evil, affect on both mother and child)

Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. The Greek word for ‘curious’ in Acts 19:19 is “periergos, per-ee’-er-gos; …magic”.)

Necromancy is forbidden by God in Deuteronomy 18:11. Important, see my document on ‘necromancy’)

TABLE LIFTING OR LEVITATION (evil spirits are the ones lifting the object)

Owb, obe is also the same Hebrew word for ‘spirit’ in Isaiah 29:4: And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust. This scripture more accurately describes the voice of ventriloquism!Also see Deuteronomy 18:10-11 and Isaiah 8:19. (Important, see my document on ‘ventriloquism’)
VISIONARY DREAMS (God does at times give His people dreams, but we had better make sure they are from God, and that they always line up with scripture! Jeremiah 29:8: For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. Jeremiah 23:25: I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. Ecclesiastes 5:7: For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also diversvanities: but fear thou God.)
VISUALIZATION (The false and dangerous practice of visualization is not only being taught by worldly counselors, but also by Christian counselors. Christian counselors are teaching people to try and visualize Jesus, unaware there are actually evil spirits who visit – appearing like the men in the false pictures people call Jesus!)
WALKING ON OR TOURING CURSED GROUNDS (i.e. pyramids, Mayan temples, Indian temples or burial grounds, Buddhist temples, etc)
YIN/YANG SYMBOL (based on the Taoistic principle of the balance of forces, Taoism is a false religion; Encarta Dictionary defines Taoism as: “a popular Chinese religion that seeks harmony and long life through the philosophy of Taoism combined with pantheism and magical practices”. Pantheism is the belief in all deities, and magic is witchcraft; see my document on ‘martial arts’)
YOGA (Sanskrit [Hindu] word meaning ‘yoke’; see my document on ‘yoga’ to see what you are yoking with)
Definitions for most of the above practices can be found in dictionaries, or with a little research!
ALCOHOLIC’S ANONYMOUS; includes Al-anon (like other false religions, they try and connect you to a higher power and they do not go through Jesus Christ to do it! John 10:1: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

If either you or your ancestors have had any involvement in the ‘un-Godly practices and organizations’ listed previously; or if your family has a history of abuse, divorce, depression, anorexia, bulimia, gluttony, suicide, cutting/self-torture, sadomasochism, alcoholism, smoking, marijuana, any drug addiction, anger, control, jealousy, pornography, stealing, poverty, lying, fear, witchcraft, idolatry, stubbornness, rebellion, racism, etc; or have practiced any form of martial arts, yoga, eastern meditation, etc; or even in rare cases have committed murder (including serial murder), or rape – please say the prayer that follows. No matter what the sin (or generational pattern of sin) God can forgive and set the captive free! Isaiah 61:1-4 (also Luke 4:18-19): The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
Please say the following prayers (say the things listed, or anything else the Lord may lay on your heart when you get to the blanks below). You may also say the following prayer for your spouse (or ex-spouse’s) family to cover the bloodline of your children with prayer:
I proclaim that I am a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ my Risen Savior. Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (the true Messiah), I confess to you my sin(s) and the iniquity of my ancestors for _________ _________ _________. Not only have I confessed my sins, but the sins (iniquities) of my forefathers. Nehemiah 9:2: And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. By doing the things they did they have (knowingly or unknowingly) allowed, and invited, evil visitation into my life. I ask you to forgive me for anything I may have done to reinforce this evil visitation. Forgive me for any way that I have (knowingly or unknowingly) reconnected this generational chain in my life. Please destroy this evil chain [pattern] of sin from my life, and I will remove any unclean objects or décor from my home. I acknowledge these things as sin, and I ask you to separate me from all evil visitations which I have allowed or invited into my life (due to my own sinful actions and/or unclean objects of décor). In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, and because of the Blood He shed for me, I command any and all evil spirits to leave me and my family. I destroy every evil assignment against us in the name of Jesus Christ closing every evil door that has been opened in our life through sins, evil dedications, and/or decorations. I ask you to cleanse me, and my family, with the shed Blood of Jesus Christ – and to remove every evil door, so that they may never be opened again. Psalm 18:2: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Proverbs 30:5: Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. From this day forward I receive only generational blessings in my life and my family. In Jesus name! Amen. I Chronicles 16:15: Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Deuteronomy 7:9: Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations. Psalm 105:8: He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
***
If either you, or your ancestors, have committed murder or been involved in (or have given money to) any organizations (i.e. witchcraft, Freemasons, Roman Catholicism, etc) which practice or participate in ritualistic blood worship please say the following prayer (also please say this prayer if you have had, or have performed an abortion):
Even if you yourself have not been involved in these organizations, or have participated in abortion or murder, but you have an ancestor who has, please say the following prayer. Or, if to your knowledge, your spouse’s family may have participated in these things please say the following prayer and cover your children.
I proclaim that I am a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ, and Him only shall I serve. Matthew 4:10 and Luke 4:8: 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. Right now in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and through His precious Blood I cancel and destroy every vow, pact, and promise that I or my ancestors have ever made to Satan [including all ritualistic sacrifice and/or blood drinking and blood bathing]. I also renounce any and all blood pacts I have made with Satan or with any person in any way…I even repent if I have been cutting myself! I also cancel and destroy any and all dedications made to Satan, especially if I or my kids were ever dedicated to him. I come against any spirit of destruction that Satan would try to place on me or my family in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I take authority over all his evil assignments against me and my family. I cancel them all in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Because of the Blood that Jesus shed for me on the cross, and because He is alive and sits at the right hand of God (even now) making intercession for me, all evil vows, pacts, and promises made to Satan are destroyed. I, and my family, belong to Jesus Christ! From this day forward I will serve Jesus Christ, and I will pray and study His Word (the Bible) and will teach my children the truth of God’s Word. Ephesians 6:10-18: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. 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. James 4:7: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
In scripture Jesus tells His people that the gates of hell will not prevail against them. He tells us that He has given us (His church) power to bind and to loose. Matthew 16:18-19: And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. However, due to our own lack of knowledge Christians have neither bound nor cast the enemy away from their life, but instead have allowed evil spirits into their life – through unclean doorways in their home. We, the Church, have not been able to bind and cast out evil spirits (and their evil influence) from our lives because we have allowed them access into our homes – which has in essence become their home. Matthew 12:29: Or else how can one enter into a strongman’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.The Greek word for ‘strong’ in Matthew 12:29 is “ischuros, is-khoo-roos; forcible (lit. or fig.):- boisterous, mighty (-ier), powerful”. In this scripture Jesus is talking about devils (evil spirits) referring to them as strongmen.This scripture is an excellent scenario of how strong evil spirits have infiltrated the homes and lives of Christians. It is time for us, as Christians, to learn and follow the truth of God’s Word – to bind the evil strongmen – and to cast them out of our homes and our lives. As Christians, we must take back the authority (which we have allowed Satan) over our homes, lives, and our families. Getting his unclean things out of our homes is our first step, now we must bind and cast his unclean strongmen out of our lives, and the lives of our family. Jesus Christ cast many evil strongmen (spirits) out of the lives of people during His earthly ministry and tells us in His Word that we have this same power and authority through His name. John 14:12: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Mark 16:17-18: And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Let’s start walking in the power and authority that God has so freely given us, and take back what Satan has stolen from us!
The following is a list of evil spirits (strongmen) mentioned in the Bible. Also included at the end of this list is a prayer of deliverance from these evil strongmen, as well as a list of blessings from God’s Holy Spirit.
If you are a Christian and you feel that you may be in bondage to any of these strongmen please say the following prayer (filling in the blanks with the names of the strongmen):
Father God, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (the true Messiah). According to your Word you have given me power and authority over Satan and his evil strongmen (evil spirits). I take you at your Word because your word is true, and right now in the name of your Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ and by the power of your Word I bind the evil spirits of ________________ ________________ _______________ ____________. I cast them out of my life, my home, and out of the lives of my family. The truth of your Word has set us free! John 8:31-32, 36: Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Your Word in Matthew 16:19 also tells me that I have the power to loose blessings, so I loose the following blessings from your Word into my life and my family...
Spirit of Truth (John 16:13)
Spirit of Adoption (Romans 8:15)
