There are evil familiar spirits specifically assigned to our family by Satan to try and tempt us to repeat the same pattern of sin as our ancestors. They are familiar with our family’s history and know the weaknesses. Evil persuasion is allowed to continue in our life when we are ignorant to the truth of God’s Word and His commandments. Jesus Christ is not going to walk our Christian walk for us, but with us, as we follow after His Word. We must recognize that after salvation it is the truth we know about God’s Word and our obedience to that truth that will continue to keep Satan’s evil assignments at bay. The bloodline of Jesus Christ separates us from our sinful past, but as Christians it is our responsibility to know and follow God’s Word as a means of reinforcing that separation. Many Christians reading this may feel that what they do not know about Satan and his evil devices will not hurt them; however, it is because of our spiritual ignorance that Satan and his evil spirits have been able to infiltrate our minds even after salvation. It is our own spiritual ignorance and disobedience to God’s Word (and the spiritual ignorance and disobedience of our ancestors) that has allowed Satan and his evil spirits to continue deceiving us as Christians. It is this evil deception that has, in some instances, even caused a Christian to become so spiritually misled they actually believed the evil things they did were being inspired by God. Though this is not always the case because most people, especially a Christian, should know if they were committing a horrible act that what they were doing was evil; but many may not know why they were doing it or how to stop. They only know they continue committing horribly evil acts and feel they are unable to tell anyone what they are going through, thinking no one would ever be able to understand or help them stop. In either case, they are in bondage to evil spirits of deception. This evil deception can, and does, happen to people who love God, and most do not know how they got this way. Depending on circumstances, to name a few:
1. The personality of the deceived person.
2. How deeply their ancestors, either one or both sides, may have been involved in forms of false worship (never leading their future generations to the truth).
3. The depth of the deceived person’s own continual sin (which in many cases is a generational pattern of sin/iniquity).
4. And/or, equally important, allowing cursed items (including so-called religious décor) into their homes – which in a Christian’s case usually results from being raised in a religious family lacking Biblical knowledge (who themselves displayed the traditional religious décor in their home).
All these things combined may have extremely dangerous results. Due to a combination of things a person, even a Christian, can be tempted to do very bad and extremely harmful things. Some might even start to do evil things at a very young age. Then after they become a Christian they continue doing these things because they do not know how to stop. Now knowing the truth of God’s Word, or how to use God’s Word to combat evil suggestions, they continue hearing Satan’s evil suggestions even after they are saved. They do not know what is wrong with them and are afraid to tell anyone the terrible things they are thinking (especially when they come from a religious family) so they just hold it all inside. The end result is temptation by these evil spirits to do extremely harmful things to others. Some may even be prompted by these evil spirits to commit murder – i.e. even serial murder. Note: Sin can increase in anyone’s case, Christian or not, if the sin continues to go unrecognized and un-repented. Several prayers of repentance are included in this document!
Evil visitation does not always come from the non-Christian side of the family; usually it is just the opposite. Why would Satan direct his strongest effort towards the side that is not following after God? Satan already has them. The strongest temptation is usually directed towards the side of the family having a strong history of Christianity, (not knowing the pagan history and cursed background) they are usually the side having all of the ‘religious’ decoration, which ultimately leads to or invites evil visitation. Religious decoration provides Satan with the most secure doorway through which many are deceived. Who would ever expect Satan and his evil seducing spirits to be associated with the religious decoration we have all become so familiar with? People would never think Satan could seduce someone using a false picture of Jesus! Think of it this way, why is it that often when someone commits murder they say that Jesus told them to do it? Or, in some cases, the person committing the heinous crime may even think that they are Jesus Christ. (After all, they might even look like the long haired man in the picture!) They are listening, and responding, to evil familiar spirits that lurk behind their false and cursed religious objects – including their false picture or statue they believe represents ‘Jesus Christ’. See important note at the end of this document. If a person starts to hear a voice in their head, or coming from a false picture of Jesus Christ, they will listen because they really believe the voice is actually Jesus talking to them. Many times they will do anything the voice tells them, thinking they are obeying Jesus. But, the voice is actually an evil spirit! Some have even been sexually intimate with this spirit they thought was Jesus Christ. People have given testimony of how they were physically kissed or caressed by Jesus Christ. Not realizing that they were actually coming in contact with an evil spirit of seduction. They did not realize they were being visited by evil sexual spirits disguised as the false images popularly referred to as ‘Jesus’, or even as angels. See dictionary for exact definition of the extremely dangerous evil sexual spirits referred to as incubus and succubus.
Evil spirits can come to a person imitating whoever the person may long to see – whether Jesus, a dead loved one, or an angel; or even a sexual fantasy figure. Then when the person begins to trust and believe these false and evil spirits will start doing un-Godly things to them, causing confusion and even fear. In the case of Jesus or an angel, because the person believes they are really being visited by a Godly spirit they are afraid not to do whatever it asks, even if they know it is wrong. People who encounter these evil spirits really believe it is Jesus or an angel visiting them; though, if the spirit is touching them sexually they are very confused about why they are being caressed in a sexual manner. Their confusion is probably due in part to its resemblance to the familiar pictures they have viewed all their life. They were ignorant about these false pictures of a man they thought was Jesus (and did not realize the pictures would actually attract an evil familiar spirit) so they did whatever the evil spirit told them. Some people are also being visited by spirit beings they believe to be angels (maybe looking like a statue or picture they have in their house or an image popularized by the media). Many people (including Christians)are being awakened at night, feeling as if they just had sexual intercourse. Some may even experience extreme pain. The concept of this happening (especially to people who are supposed to be Christians) may sound ridiculous but there is an evil spiritual realm, and Satan counts on our ignorance to this fact.
Any person that may be visited by a spirit claiming to be Jesus Christ or an angel must take heed – especially if the spirit tells them to do something they know is wrong. Note: The spirit may start out telling them to do good things and then slowly after gaining the person’s trust they start telling them to do bad things! We must be careful, as Christians, to always obey scripture and test every spirit with the Word of God. John 4:1: BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. If we do not obey scripture we will be deceived by Satan, who is portraying himself to Christians as an angel of light. II Corinthians 11:14: And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Whoever would believe that the Lord would ask them to harm themselves or someone else must realize that it is not the Lord who is asking them. He would never ask someone to cause injury or bodily harm to any person or thing. If you are a Christian and you are hearing a voice that you think is Jesus then you should find another Christian to confide in (someone who will not ridicule you) and ask them to search scripture with you and pray with you so that the Lord will reveal His truth to you. You may think this could never happen to a person who is a Christian, but Christians are the ones who Satan tries the hardest to deceive. Many times Satan is successful at deceiving Christians simply because many do not know the Word of God. Some of the worst crimes often are committed by a person who comes from a very religious family. What many Christian families do not realize is that evil temptation attacks the side of the family that appears to be the most spiritual – and many times the attack is allowed because of the unclean religious décor they have throughout their home. By having this unclean religious décor in their home they give evil spirits easy access to their family. By bringing these cursed abominations in they have allowed evil temptation to advance against their family. Satan uses these unclean objects to create evil doorways into their home, to gain access to either them or their children. If their children began seeing a spirit in their home and this spirit told them it was an angel, or even Jesus, their children would believe it simply because it might resemble the pictures or statues in their home. Pictures or statues they are familiar with. The same can be true in the case of a dead loved one. If a spirit came looking like a picture of a loved one, who was alive in the picture but has since passed away, then a child or other family member would believe it was them. Not knowing that the Bible forbids necromancy, which is any attempt at communication with the dead (Deuteronomy 18:10-11). It is not really their dead loved one, but an evil spirit trying to communicate with them. I must make one thing clear; a picture of a loved one (who is alive in the picture) is not a spiritually unclean object, because it is actually the person in the picture; though the spirit visiting is not, but is only an evil spirit masquerading as the person in the picture. Having a picture of a loved one is alright because it is really them; but with a picture of Jesus it is not really him in the picture! Although it is alright to have a picture of a loved one you must express to your children that the loved one cannot come to visit them after the loved one is dead. Again, it is alright if you have a picture of a real person because the picture truly represents them, and you are neither reverencing nor worshipping it – or at least you are not supposed to. Note: If you do idolize the person in the picture and you are being visited by a spirit calling itself them then I would get rid of any picture you are idolizing. As long as you are not idolizing them it is alright to have a picture of a loved one. I only mentioned their picture because a familiar spirit can masquerade as anyone you, or your child, may be familiar with. Or anyone you may deeply desire to see – or even as anyone to whom you or your child were extremely attached. You need to tell your children that their dead loved one is with the Lord and that they will see them again one day in heaven – but they cannot and should not be seeing them now! The only exception to having a picture of a loved one is that you should never have a picture of them in a casket. If you do have a picture or movie of a loved one, or anyone else, while they are lying there dead you should not keep it. It will attract evil spirits – evil spirits are attracted to death and will masquerade as the dead person. It has also been my experience that having cassettes or CD’s of a loved ones voice, of course recorded before death, can have an impact on a person or child who is desperately wanting to hear their (now dead) loved one’s voice once again. I am not necessarily telling you to get rid of the cassette or CD unless someone in the family is hearing something that sounds like the dead loved one’s voice. I have personally come across this deception and after the cassette was thrown away the voice stopped talking to the child. The voice was telling the child to burn down the house with their parent in it!
Parents should never allow or encourage their children to talk to spirits, or with imaginary friends. They may actually be seeing an evil spirit and talking to it. As parents we may not see anything our self but it is our own disobedience to God’s Word that has allowed an evil door to be opened in our home. We have become a link through which Satan and his evil spirits have continued to remain and operate in our generation, and will continue in future generations if we do not stop them. We must repent to God and ask for forgiveness if we are going to make it easier on our future generations. Our unclean objects have allowed Satan to have a spiritual doorway in our home with which to tempt or entice us, and most important, our children. Due to Biblical ignorance we allow and invite Satan’s evil spirits to attempt communication with our children. In some cases, as mentioned previously, a child may communicate with these evil familiar spirits and do whatever the spirits tell them – not knowing the spirits are bad. In time they begin doing bad things that they really do not want to do, and are afraid to tell anyone about, and so they grow up in bondage to evil spirits.
A person from one generation may be in bondage to evil thoughts or temptations, while a person in their next generation is not (and vice-versa). Evil temptation does not necessarily affect each generation the same, but may skip some generations before finding the one(s) that will give into the temptation. But, each generation that brings cursed objects of décor into their home (sometimes even passing it from one generation to the next) is still a spiritual link of reinforcement. Whether they have participated in the same sins as their other family members, or not, they have still been a spiritual connector to Satan’s realm by allowing his abominations into their home in the first place. Unknowingly they have invited Satan to continue tempting each generation into a pattern, or cycle, of sin(s) through their false religious décor. This unclean cursed decoration does not have to be passed down from generation to generation to reinforce this pattern of sin – any cursed objects will do. This is why it is so important to remove all spiritually unclean (cursed) items from our homes, even the unclean décor that we ourselves have purchased, because all unclean items are a link through which Satan and his evil spirits operate. By possessing unclean objects Christians are being visited with the iniquity of their fathers – just as it says they will in Exodus 20:5 and Deuteronomy 5:9! The Hebrew word for ‘iniquity’ in Exodus 20:5 and Deuteronomy 5:9 is “avon, aw-vone’; or avown; perversity, i.e. (moral) evil… mischief, punishment (of iniquity), sin”.
All people are tempted by Satan but by living among Satan’s things the temptation to sin will become even stronger. This temptation can become so strong that many will give in to the same, or a similar pattern of sin, as their ancestors. But, to them the temptation will usually be much stronger and far worse. Example: A previous family member may have been drawn by evil spirits toward alcohol but their next generation toward hard drugs. Evil spirits may even draw a person(s) from one generation to watch sexually seductive programs, but a person(s) in the next generation will be into hard core porn or homosexuality. By our own repeated sin and/or religious décor we (as Christians)re-connect the same generational chain from which Jesus Christ has set us free – unless we repent and stop our continual participation in this pattern of sin and throw away our unclean seemingly relgious décor. Satan and his unclean familiar spirits can, and will, gain access into our life (even after salvation) through our repeated sin and our sinful and cursed abominations. Deuteronomy 7:26: Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Joshua 6:18: And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing lest ye make yourselves accursed when ye take of the accursed thing and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. Deuteronomy 23:14: For the Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. When we live among Satan’s things God cannot work in our life the way He wants to. We have given Satan an open door! Satan is only waiting for the right family member, with just the right personality, to fall for his temptations – and he will take them as far as they will allow him. Satan will wait for just the right family member, and he doesn’t care if he has to wait a few generations to do it. He will just keep on trying until he gets the right one. We must understand that because of our cursed objects, images, and/or practices we have allowed a pattern of evil visitation to remain in our life and our family. Through lack of knowledge about the unclean pagan history of the objects in our homes we have helped Satan maintain his pattern of sin in our family. I know this may seem harsh, but with what our children are facing in this world today through television, music, drugs, sex, and even false teaching (cults) we, as Christians, had better wake up! Jesus Christ does not want his people to be caught in Satan’s deceptions. These last days are going to be unlike any we have ever seen. We, and our children, need to be spiritually wise to Satan’s devices so we can stay out of his traps. We need to be Spiritually armed and prepared. 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. (I have a prayer to put on the armor of God under separate document.)
We must understand; a person who does bad things is not the enemy. The enemy is the devil that has the person bound. Satan is our enemy, not people. Ephesians 6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against the rulers of the darkness of the world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
We must tell people (starting with our family) the truth about God’s Word and tell them that there is hope through Jesus Christ. They deserve a chance. If they do not take it at least we will have tried! Ezekiel 3:19, 21: Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. Psalm 139:23-24: Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. God has us here for a reason, and we need to help others by warning them.
We need to stop playing religious games and have a real relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Calling ourselves a Christian does not necessarily mean we have a relationship with God. To be a true Christian is to be ‘Christ like’; this does not mean pretending to be Christ, which is the abomination being taught in New-Age and Eastern religion. To be a Christian means following the example that Jesus Christ has set for us. Acts 11:26: And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Luke 14:27, 33: And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. John 13:35: By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Luke 9:23: And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. John 12:26: If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. III John verse 11: Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. John 10:4-5, 27: And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 14:15: If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:21: He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Our example of Christianity has been traditional, following after the ‘traditions of men’, and not after the Word of God – and this tradition has gotten Christians into a spiritual mess! Colossians 2:8: Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the word, and not after Christ. Matthew 15:3, 9: But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Mark 7:7-9, 13: Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. The Greek word for ‘vain’ in Colossians 2:8 is Kenos, Ken-os’; meaning empty. The Greek word for ‘vain’ in Matthew 15:9 is Maten, mat’-ane; through the idea of tentative manipulation, to no purpose – in vain.
True Christianity is a real relationship with Jesus Christ, following after His Word. A relationship with Jesus Christ, who is the Word, will set people free from bondage. John 1:14: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 8:32, 36: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. If the Son (Jesus Christ) therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (scriptural parenthesis added for emphasis). Religion (man’s tradition) does not bring freedom, it brings bondage. A true relationship with Jesus Christ will set people free from bondage. Religion portrays and follows after the flesh, and this is why religion has traditionally owned fleshly portraits of a man they refer to as Jesus Christ. A true relationship with Jesus Christ will not draw us to the flesh, or to what we think His flesh looked like. II Corinthians 5:16: Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. A true relationship with Jesus Christ (not religion) will draw us to God’s Spirit, the Holy Spirit, and to the truth of God’s Word, the Bible. John 4:23-24: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 17:17: Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
The Word of God is the only true portrait of Jesus Christ, and the only true way to follow after God. God’s Word (the Bible) will show us the way to true freedom, the freedom that only comes through Jesus Christ. Portraying the flesh draws people to follow after the flesh, and its lusts thereof, leading them into bondage. It is because we have tried to portray Jesus Christ, and tried to bring him down to our level, that we have made our greatest mistake. This has caused people to think they can compare themselves to Jesus Christ, and in some cases think they are Him. The flesh, including the works of the flesh, is the foundation that man’s religious tradition is based on. Religious tradition keeps people bound, and because they have been following it, they have not been following the truth of God’s Word. Religion (man’s tradition) will not save us or anybody else! Jesus Christ is the relationship we must have for eternal life. Jude: 21-25: Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
If you are a Christian and you are hearing voices, or seeing evil spirits, then please say the following prayers:
Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (the true Messiah), and by the power of the Holy Spirit I ask that you would destroy every evil assignment against my generation(s). I command every evil spirit and every evil familiar spirit assigned by Satan to be removed from my life, and my family (all present and future members). I apply the blood of Jesus Christ to my life and the lives of my family members. I ask that all evil assignments against my generation and my future generations would be cancelled from this day forward. By faith in Jesus Christ I believe you have heard and answered my prayer! Amen.
Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (the true Messiah),I take authority over every evil spirit that I have allowed into my mind or mid-brain (even from childhood) through my eyes, ears, and mouth (this includes evil spirits associated with music, T.V., videos, computers, pornography, drugs or alcohol, smoking, etc). I also ask forgiveness for every unclean word that I have spoken due to the influence of these evil spirits. I give Jesus Christ complete authority over my heart, my mind, my thoughts, and my mouth. I ask you to help me gird up the loins of my mind. I Peter 1:13: Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Please cleanse the conscious, unconscious, and subconscious areas of my mind (setting me free from all fantasy pictures, mind travel and out of body experiences, or times of blackout and trance-like states of mind). I ask you to forgive me for anything that I may have done to my family (including my grandparents, my parents, my spouse/ex-spouse, or my kids). I also ask you to forgive me for anything that I have done to cause them to reject me – and I especially ask you to forgive me for anything that I have done, or said, that would cause them to reject you. I repent for not knowing or obeying your commandments, and I repent for not teaching them to my children. I give everything in my life to you Lord Jesus and I ask you to renew my mind, covering every area of my mind and soul with your precious blood. I ask you to please do the same for my children. Cleanse their mind (including their mid-brain) from all evil influence, and please forgive me for allowing my children to put any unclean things in their eyes, ears, and mind. I ask you to remove all evil spirits and all evil suggestions from our minds and keep our minds and lives free from every evil device. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, my generation and every future generation of my family are forever free from every evil assignment directed towards us (due to our own disobedience, or the disobedience of our 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. I ask that you would heal me, and my family members (present and future), from any type of mental or physical illness that may be caused by these evil spirits (this includes the evil spirits of fear, torment, or physical and emotional pain). I thank you Lord for hearing and answering all my prayers. In Jesus name! Amen.
I now declare before heaven that I acknowledge and accept Jesus Christ of Nazareth as my Risen Savior. I know, Jesus, that you died for me and that God has raised you from the dead – and you are alive. Matthew 28:5-7: And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples the he is risen from the dead… Because you (Jesus) have been given new life, I have been given new life. I ask you Lord Jesus to put a filter on my memories and completely cleanse every un-Godly echo from my past. Please cover my old memories and my old hurts with your precious blood. I refuse to let Satan continually echo things from my past into my mind any longer, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I completely surrender my mind to you Jesus Christ. I want to hear only the things you tell me. Create in my mind, heart, and my life new memories. Echo your thoughts and plans to me. Help me remember only what you want me to remember, and never what Satan wants. I thank you Jesus that not only have you removed the un-Godly echo’s of my past but from this day forward you will also filter anything that goes into my eyes, ears, heart, and soul. I ask you to protect my mind and allow your Holy Spirit to work in my life. I Peter 1:13: Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Isaiah 26:3: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Ephesians 4:23: And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. I am surrendering my life to you and the lives of my family from this day forward and forever more. I thank you Jesus because your Word says if I ask anything in your name you will do it. John 14:14: If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. Amen!

Please pray the following prayer also, filling in the blanks with whatever the Lord may lay on your heart:
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 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.

Important note: We are deceived when we do not believe that Satan is using religious icons and images as a form of spiritual deception. An article appeared in a ‘2004’ issue of the Tennessean newspaper (a Williamson County Review Appeal) – where they quoted a December 2003 story from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution – telling the story of how a picture of Jesus was used as a tool of correction for a small child. The child was at times locked in a closet, by his own parents, and told to pray to this supposed picture of Jesus. He was beaten on several occasions, with what the newspaper referred to as “a 2 or 3 foot long whip like glue stick”, while an older boy was sometimes ordered to hold him. Eventually, this abuse led to the child’s death! According to the newspaper the day he died his mother said he had gotten “several whippings”. The horrible act was done by people who portrayed themselves as Christians, and used their false picture to try and reinforce this. They were deceived by Satan – and their child paid the price for their deception! Accusation was made by the family that the child was “demon possessed”. One thing is clear; those who were possessed were the parents. According to the newspaper not only were the parents responsible for this awful crime, but the paper also mentioned the church leader with whom the parents were affiliated. It is true that not all churches follow after Christ, but who do you think Satan is really trying to point the blame at for his own evil deceptions? Satan is using his tool of deception in these last days to point the finger at the church as a whole – because it is the church that is supposed to represent true Christianity. Satan is successful in using the church as his tool of deception because many churches lack Biblical knowledge about their false (and so-called religious) images. They have made it easy for Satan. It is sad but Satan’s deception, so far, is working in both the world and the church. The world uses our traditionally deceived churches as the model through which they fashion all Christians, and many want no part of our Christianity. Why? Because our churches are not following God’s commandments and setting a true Godly example – leaving a bad example for all Christianity. The world sees that something is wrong in the church – which makes it look bad for the true Christians who know it too and are still being compared with it. The incident reported in the newspaper is not an isolated incident. People who refer to themselves as Christians (who attend church regularly) are killing their children, and many of them are saying that Jesus told them to do it. The sad thing is the unsaved world will not only point their finger at all Christianity, but due to Satan’s deceptions they will also point their finger at Jesus! After all, people believe that the real Jesus looks like those false pictures and images, and when a person says a spirit looking like the familiar pictures told them to commit awful crimes who do you think the world will blame. People in the church, and the world, do not realize these false pictures do not really represent the real Jesus Christ. When someone is seeing a spirit, or hearing a voice coming from these pictures and the voice is telling them to do bad things, many will do it. Not realizing that it is not the real Jesus that is talking to them – but it is Satan’s deception. The real Jesus would never tell someone to do something that goes against scripture. Satan has been using false imagery and false visions as a part of his strategy against Christianity for a long time. It is his attempt to lead us towards spiritual destruction. It is my prayer that after hearing the truth he will no longer be able to deceive people. It is time for true Christians to throw out their idols and pick up their Bibles!
