FAMILIAR SPIRIT

A “FAMILIAR SPIRIT” IS THE DESIGNATION OF A SPECIFIC TYPE OF EVIL SPIRIT.
IT IS SO CLASSIFIED BECAUSE OF ITS CHIEF CHARACTERISTIC: NAMELY, FAMILIARITY.
IT IS A RELATIONSHIP SPIRIT, A FAMILIARITY, WITH A PERSON OR PERSONALITY.
FOR EXAMPLE, A WOMAN, WHOM PAUL ENCOUNTERED IN MACEDONIA, HAD A FAMILIAR SPIRIT WHICH GAVE HER POWERS OF DIVINATION. (ACTS 16:16-18).
FAMILIAR SPIRITS ARE COMMON WITH THE PRACTICES OF SPIRITISM AND WITCHCRAFT,.
BUT THEIR ACTIVITY IS NOT LIMITED TO THE OCCULT.
THEY OPERATE THROUGH VARIOUS MEANS OTHER THAN THE OCCULT
FOR EXAMPLE THEY CAN OPERATE THROUGH NECROMANCY OR ANCESTRAL WORSHIP
NECROMANCY A SUPPOSED COMMUNICATION WITH THE DEAD, IS A SERIOUS FACET OF THE FAMILIAR SPIRIT’S OPERATION.
NECROMANCY IS AN OUTRIGHT DECEPTION.
RATHER THAN COMMUNICATING WITH A PARTICULAR PERSON, THE MEDIUM IS IN CONTACT WITH A SPIRIT WHICH IS FAMILIAR WITH THAT DEAD PERSON.
THE SPIRIT IS ABLE TO GIVE INFORMATION AND PRODUCE MANIFESTATIONS WHICH WILL LEAD THE NECROMANCER TO SUPPOSE THAT HE HAS CONTACTED THE SPIRIT OF A CERTAIN DEAD PERSON.
EVIL SPIRITS ARE PERSONALITIES. THEY CAN REASON, DECIDE, EXPRESS EMOTIONS AND COMMUNICATE.
PERSONALITIES HAVE THE CAPACITY TO RELATE TO ONE ANOTHER.
TWO HUMAN PERSONALITIES CAN FORM A RELATIONSHIP; AND, THROUGH COMMUNICATION AND COMMUNION, THAT RELATIONSHIP CAN BE IMPROVED.
LIKEWISE, A PERSON CAN FORM AND DEVELOP A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH AN EVIL SPIRIT.
WHEN A PERSON FORMS A RELATIONSHIP WITH AN EVIL SPIRIT EITHER WILFULLY OR THROUGH IGNORANCE, HE THEN HAS A FAMILIAR SPIRIT.
COMMUNICATION IS THE CHIEF CHARACTERISTIC OF FAMILIAR SPIRITS.
THEY COMMUNICATE WITH AND SERVE THOSE WHO ARE POSSESSED BY THEM
THE SPIRIT RESPONDS QUICKLY TO THE SUMMONS OF MEDIUMS OR THOSE WHO TALK TO THE DEAD.
A MEDIUM SUCH AS THE WITCH OF ENDOR WHOM SAUL CONSULTED (I SAM. 28:7), IS A GO-BETWEEN WHICH FORMS A COMMUNICATION LINK BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE DEMONIC REALM.
THUS, ANYONE WHO BECOMES A CHANNEL OF COMMUNICATION FOR AN EVIL SPIRIT IS A MEDIUM. HE HAS A FAMILIAR SPIRIT.
A FAMILIAR SPIRIT IS SOMETHING THAT A PERSON HAS, BECAUSE IT IS A PERSONALITY IDENTIFIED WITH A CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL.
IN THE SAME SENSE THAT ONE HAS A BOOK, A FRIEND OR A COLD, ONE CAN BE PERSONALLY IDENTIFIED WITH A DEMON SPIRIT.
“REGARD NOT THEM THAT HAVE FAMILIAR SPIRITS, NEITHER SEEK AFTER WIZARDS, TO BE DEFILED BY THEM: I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD.” LEV. 19:31,
A PERSON WHO HAS A FAMILIAR SPIRIT, SERVES AS THE VESSEL WHICH CONTAINS THE SPIRIT.
THE SPIRIT INDWELLS THE PERSON.
THUS, A PERSON WHO HAS A FAMILIAR SPIRIT IS DEMON POSSESSED
GOD’S WARNINGS
THE SERIOUSNESS OF ENTERTAINING FAMILIAR SPIRITS IS PLAINLY SET FORTH IN GOD’S WORD.
UNDER THE OLD TESTAMENT LAW, INVOLVEMENT WITH FAMILIAR SPIRITS WAS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH.
“A MAN OR A WOMAN WHO IS A MEDIUM, OR WHO HAS FAMILIAR SPIRITS, SHALL SURELY BE PUT TO DEATH; THEY SHALL STONE THEM WITH STONES. THEIR BLOOD SHALL BE UPON THEM.” LEV. 20:27
FAMILIAR SPIRITS ARE COUNTERFEITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT’S WORK.
AS WITH ANYTHING OCCULT, INVOLVEMENT WITH FAMILIAR SPIRITS CONSTITUTES IDOLATRY AND CREATES SPIRITUAL DEFILEMENT:

“REGARD NOT THEM THAT HAVE FAMILIAR SPIRITS…TO BE DEFILED BY THEM: I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD” LEV. 19:31.

ANYONE WHO HAS FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD, AND WHO IS LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, DOES NOT NEED A FAMILIAR SPIRIT.
FOR GOD PROVIDES HIM WITH ALL THAT HE NEEDS TO KNOW OR HAVE.
THE SIN OF ADULTERY IS COMMITTED WHEN A MAN OR WOMAN GOES OUTSIDE OF HIS OR HER MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP.
LIKEWISE, A CHILD OF GOD COMMITS SPIRITUAL ADULTERY WHEN HE GOES OUTSIDE HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD TO GAIN SUPERNATURAL KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, GUIDANCE, BENEFITS OR POWER FROM WICKED SPIRITS.
KING SAUL SOUGHT OUT A WOMAN WHO HAD A FAMILIAR SPIRIT,
BECAUSE SAUL SOUGHT HELP FROM THE WITCH OF ENDOR, GOD’S JUDGMENT CAME UPON HIM.“SO SAUL DIED FOR HIS UNFAITHFULNESS WHICH HE HAD COMMITTED AGAINST THE LORD, BECAUSE HE DID NOT KEEP THE WORD OF THE LORD, AND ALSO BECAUSE HE CONSULTED A MEDIUM FOR GUIDANCE. BUT HE DID NOT INQUIRE OF THE LORD; THEREFORE HE KILLED HIM, AND TURNED THE KINGDOM OVER TO DAVID THE SON OF JESSE.” I CHR. 10:13-14.
GOD BROUGHT JUDGMENT UPON THE CANAANITE NATIONS BECAUSE OF THEIR OCCULT PRACTICES, AND HE GAVE THEIR LANDS TO THE ISRAELITES.
THEN, GOD WARNED THE ISRAELITES THAT HE WOULD DRIVE THEM FROM THE LAND IF THEY EVER TURNED TO THE OCCULT:

“WHEN THOU ART COME INTO THE LAND WHICH THE LORD THY GOD GIVETH THEE, THOU SHALT NOT LEARN TO DO AFTER THE ABOMINATIONS OF THOSE NATIONS. THERE SHALL NOT BE FOUND AMONG YOU…A CONSULTER WITH FAMILIAR SPIRITS…FOR ALL THAT DO THESE THINGS ARE AN ABOMINATION UNTO THE LORD: AND BECAUSE OF THESE ABOMINATIONS THE LORD THY GOD DOTH DRIVE THEM OUT FROM BEFORE THEE.” DEUT. 18:9, 11, 12

THE DECEPTION

DECEPTION IS ALWAYS PRESENT IN ONE’S RELATIONSHIP WITH A FAMILIAR SPIRIT.
USUALLY, THE ONE HAVING A FAMILIAR SPIRIT BELIEVES THAT HIS SPIRIT-COMPANION IS GOOD RATHER THAN EVIL
HE THINKS THAT SOMETHING BENEFICIAL WILL COME OUT OF THAT RELATIONSHIP.
HE ERRONEOUSLY BELIEVES THAT THE SPIRIT IS A TRUE BENEFACTOR WHO WILL PROVIDE HIM WITH HELPFUL INFORMATION.
HE MAY EVEN BELIEVE THAT THE FAMILIAR SPIRIT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT.
HE WILL; THEREFORE, BE RELUCTANT TO PART WITH SOMETHING HE BELIEVES IS BENEFICIAL OR THAT IS OF GOD.
THE PERSON HAVING A FAMILIAR SPIRIT MAY NOT RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS AN EVIL SPIRIT ENTITY WITH WHOM HE IS HAVING A RELATIONSHIP.
HE MAY THINK THAT HIS EXPERIENCES ARE ONLY WITHIN HIS IMAGINATIONS AND FANTASIES.
OR, HE MAY BELIEVE THAT HE HAS CONTACTED GOD’S SPIRITUAL REALM THROUGH HIS MIND RATHER THAN THROUGH HIS SPIRIT.
THUS, HE MAY BE ENSNARED, NOT BECAUSE HE IS SEEKING SOMETHING EVIL, BUT BECAUSE HE IS SEEKING SOMETHING GOOD IN A WRONG WAY.
GOD SAYS MY PEOPLE PERISH FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.

THE ATTRACTION

WHAT DRAWS A PERSON INTO INVOLVEMENT WITH FAMILIAR SPIRITS?
THE APPEAL OF THE OCCULT IS USUALLY EITHER CURIOSITY OR A DESIRE FOR THAT WHICH IS HIDDEN OR SIMPLY A DESIRE FOR POWER AND CONTROL OF FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS
THE SUPERNATURAL IS VERY POWERFUL AND INTERESTING BUT YOU MUST KNOW, HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE SUPERNATURAL REALM OF GOD AND THAT OF SATAN.
ALMOST EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS IN STORE.
IT IS EASY, THEREFORE, TO BE DRAWN INTO A SCHEME THAT CLAIMS TO HOLD THE KEY TO KNOWING THE UNKNOWN.
MANY, IT SEEMS, HAVE BEEN ENTICED BY THE DESIRE TO COMMUNICATE WITH DEPARTED LOVED ONES
A WOMAN THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS BEING VISITED BY HER DECEASED HUSBAND.
SHE SAID THAT THE SPIRIT OF HER DEAD HUSBAND WOULD COME INTO HER BEDROOM, SIT ON THE EDGE OF HER BED AND TALK WITH HER.
SHE DECIDED TO TEST THE PHENOMENON. WHEN THE SPIRIT RETURNED, SHE TOUCHED HIM ON THE NOSE AND SAID, “YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A DEMON. I REBUKE YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS. DO NOT COME BACK ANYMORE.”
THE FAMILIAR SPIRIT NEVER RETURNED
CHRISTIANS, ESPECIALLY THOSE SUFFERING FROM REJECTION, INFERIORITY AND INSECURITY, ARE PRONE TO CRAVE AN INTIMACY WITH THE LORD
THIS CAN DRAW THEM INTO UNSCRIPTURAL WAYS OF ACHIEVING SUCH CLOSENESS
FOR EXAMPLE, A CHRISTIAN WOMAN WHO HAD AN UNLOVING HUSBAND, WAS ENCOURAGED BY A COUNSELLOR TO VISUALIZE JESUS AS BEING HER HUSBAND
SHE WAS TO IMAGINE JESUS COMING THROUGH THE DOOR, HUGGING HER AND KISSING HER. HER VISUALIZED JESUS BECAME VERY REAL TO HER, AND SHE FOUND THIS FANTASY VERY SATISFYING.
BUT ONE DAY HER VISUALIZED JESUS BECAME SO INTIMATE THAT HE MADE SEXUAL ADVANCES TOWARD HER.
SHE WAS FRIGHTENED ENOUGH TO SEEK COUNSEL WHICH LEAD TO HER DELIVERANCE FROM A FAMILIAR SPIRIT, THE SPIRIT OF “ANOTHER JESUS” II COR. 11:4.
SATAN IS A SLY DECEIVER. WHEN FORBIDDEN THINGS ARE SOUGHT; OR WHEN GOOD THINGS ARE SOUGHT IN WRONG WAYS, THE DEVIL IS QUICK TO TAKE ADVANTAGE.

THE ACQUISITION

THERE ARE MANY AVENUES THROUGH WHICH FAMILIAR SPIRITS CAN BE ACQUIRED:
1. DIVINATION.
DIVINATION IS BROADLY DEFINED AS AN ATTEMPT TO DISCERN FUTURE EVENTS OR TO DISCOVER THAT WHICH CANNOT BE KNOWN BY NORMAL METHODS.
THE FAMILIAR SPIRIT IS SOUGHT TO ASSIST A PERSON IN HIS QUEST FOR HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE, GUIDANCE AND POWER.
THERE ARE MANY EXPRESSIONS OF DIVINATION
. DIVINATION INCLUDES THE PRACTICES OF OCCULTISTS, SPIRITIST MEDIUMS, WITCH DOCTORS, FALSE PROPHETS AND OF COURSE WITCHES.
FOR EXAMPLE, WATER WITCHING IS A FORM OF DIVINATION.
IN SOME COMMUNITIES THERE WILL BE A PARTICULAR PERSON WHO IS PROFICIENT IN FINDING UNDERGROUND STREAMS OF WATER WITH A FORKED STICK
AS HE HOLDS THE “Y” OF HIS DIVINING ROD, THE STICK WILL TURN FORCIBLY DOWNWARD WHEN HE WALKS OVER A SPOT THAT HAS UNDERGROUND WATER
THE FAMILIAR SPIRIT COMMUNICATES WITH THE DIVINER THROUGH HIS ROD.
ONE MIGHT REASON THAT SUCH A BENEFIT COULD NOT BE WRONG, BUT GOD HAS JUDGED IT TO BE WRONG
HE CALLS DIVINATION AN “ABOMINATION,” AND PRONOUNCES A CURSE UPON ANYONE WHO PRACTICES IT: “THOU SHALT NOT LEARN TO DO AFTER THE ABOMINATIONS OF THOSE [CANAANITE] NATIONS. THERE SHALL NOT BE FOUND AMONG YOU ANY ONE THAT…USETH DIVINATION DEUT 18:9-10. YOU SHALL NOT…PRACTICE DIVINATION OR SOOTHSAYING” LEV. 19:26

2. TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION

. TM, A PRACTICE ASSOCIATED WITH HINDU WORSHIP, IS ACCEPTED WIDELY THROUGHOUT WESTERN CULTURE TODAY. IT IS BEING TAUGHT IN SOME COLLEGES AND EVEN IN SOME CHURCHES
. CONTRARY TO CHRISTIAN MEDITATION, WHICH IS AN ACTIVE REFLECTION UPON GOD AND HIS WORD; EASTERN MEDITATION IS PASSIVE.
PASSIVE MEDITATION COUPLED WITH TRANCE-PRODUCING TECHNIQUES AND CHANTING, OPEN A PERSON DIRECTLY TO THE DEMONIC REALM
IN HIS ATTEMPT TO DISCOVER TRUE ENLIGHTENMENT, THE TM PRACTITIONER EMPTIES HIMSELF OF ALL SELF- IDENTITY AND WILLPOWER
HE OPENS HIMSELF TO DECEIVING SPIRITS WHO IMPERSONATE DEITY AND DIVULGE FALSE REVELATIONS OF SECRET AND HIDDEN MYSTERIES.
3. IMAGINARY PLAYMATES
IT IS NOT UNUSUAL TO FIND A CHILD WHO HAS AN IMAGINARY PLAYMATE.
THE INVISIBLE COMPANION IS VERY REAL TO THE CHILD.
IN FACT, THE PLAYMATE MAY BE INVISIBLE TO OTHERS BUT APPEAR VISIBLY TO THE CHILD.
THE IMAGINARY PLAYMATE BECOMES A COMPANION AND A TEACHER OF THE CHILD
WHAT BEGINS, IN THE CHILD’S IMAGINATION, AS A TECHNIQUE TO OFFSET LONELINESS, EVOLVES INTO A RELATIONSHIP WITH A FAMILIAR SPIRIT.
IN ORDER TO BE SET FREE, THE BOY FIRST HAD TO FALL OUT OF AGREEMENT WITH THE FAMILIAR SPIRIT AND, COMMAND HIM TO GO.
AFTER A SUCCESSFUL DELIVERANCE, THERE SHOULD BE A MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN THE CHILD’S PERSONALITY AND BEHAVIOR.
4. DRUGS
DRUGS, ESPECIALLY THE HALLUCINATORY DRUGS, PROVIDE A STRAIGHT CORRIDOR INTO THE DEMONIC REALM
5. ROCK MUSIC.
THOSE WHO ARE HOOKED ON ROCK MUSIC ARE USUALLY VERY DEFENSIVE AND UNTEACHABLE.
THIS REJECTION OF TRUTH IS BECAUSE ROCK MUSIC IS A “RELIGION
ROCK MUSIC REQUIRES AS DEFINITE COMMITMENT AS DOES CHRISTIANITY.
A CERTAIN CHRISTIAN TEENAGER LOVED THE LORD AND WAS GROWING SPIRITUALLY.
SUDDENLY, HE CHANGED, HE COMPLETELY TURNED AWAY FROM HIS CHRISTIAN CONVICTIONS.
HIS PARENTS WERE DISMAYED, AND NOTHING THEY SAID OR DID HAD ANY EFFECT ON THEIR SON.
HE HAD A DRAMATIC CHANGE IN HIS PERSONALITY.
HIS MOTHER WAS ASKED IF HE HAD BECOME INVOLVED WITH ROCK MUSIC.
THE ANSWER WAS “YES.” HIS LOVE FOR GOD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT HAD BEEN TAKEN OVER BY “ANOTHER SPIRIT” WITH WHOM HE HAD BECOME FAMILIAR.
6. GAMES AND TOYS
.THE DEVIL IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO CONTROL THE LIVES OF OUR YOUTH.
GAMES AND TOYS ARE A POWERFUL INFLUENCE IN THE TRAINING OF CHILDREN
SOME GAMES HAVE PERSONALITIES THAT CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE PLAYERS.
PARENTS, MUST BE ESPECIALLY ALERT AND VIGILANT TODAY IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR OFFSPRING FROM TALKING WITH DEMONS
THEY MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE DEVIL’S MESSENGERS
BEWARE OF THOSE CARTOONS AS WELL. REMEMBER POIKEMONS?
CHILDREN BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO THESE DEMONIC CREATURES TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY MAY EVEN GET COMFORTABLE WITH THEM WHEN THEY MATERIALIZE.
FOR EXAMPLE, INVOLVEMENT WITH THE GAME “DUNGEONS & DRAGONS.” REQUIRES ROLE PLAYING, AND THE PLAYER BECOMES TOTALLY IDENTIFIED WITH A FICTIONAL CHARACTER
OFTEN, THE PLAYERS DRESS IN IDENTIFYING COSTUMES WHICH PORTRAY THE CHARACTER THEY ARE TO REPRESENT
THE PLAYERS WILL GRADUALLY LOSE THEIR OWN IDENTITY AND TAKE ON THE IDENTITY OF THE FAMILIAR SPIRIT.
7. CONVERSING WITH DEMONS DURING DELIVERANCE
WHEN DEMONS ARE CHALLENGED, THEY SOMETIMES SPEAK THROUGH THE PERSON THEY INDWELL.
A DELIVERANCE WORKER MAY CULTIVATE A RELATIONSHIP WITH A DEMON BY UNNECESSRALLY INTERROGATING SUCH SPIRITS
IN SO DOING, THE DELIVERANCE MINISTER BECOMES A MEDIUM THROUGH WHOM THE FAMILIAR SPIRIT IMPARTS SECRET KNOWLEDGE.
IF THE INFORMATION ACQUIRED THROUGH DEMONS IS ACCEPTED AS TRUTH, THEN TESTIMONY TO WHAT DEMONS HAVE SAID BECOMES A DOCTRINE OF DEMONS:
“NOW THE SPIRIT EXPRESSLY SAYS THAT IN THE LATTER TIMES SOME WILL DEPART FROM THE FAITH, GIVING HEED TO DECEIVING SPIRITS AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS.” I TIM. 4:1, (EMPHASIS MINE.)
A DELIVERANCE MINISTER WAS SHARING WITH ONE OF HIS STAFF MEMBERS HIS EXPERIENCES IN CONVERSING WITH DEMONS DURING DELIVERANCE.
HE SAID THAT HE SAW NO NEED FOR GIVING UP THE PRACTICE OF INTERROGATING EVIL SPIRITS.
IN FACT, HE FOUND THEM TO BE ENTERTAINING.
THERE WAS ONE THAT HE ESPECIALLY ENJOYED TALKING WITH BECAUSE WHAT THIS DEMON SAID ALWAYS “SEEMED SO CUTE.”
HOW COULD ANYTHING OUT OF THE MOUTH OF A DECEIVING DEMON EVER BE CONSIDERED “CUTE?”
CONVERSING WITH DEMONS CAN EASILY LEAD TO THE FORBIDDEN ROLE OF BEING A “CONSULTER WITH FAMILIAR SPIRITS” DEUT. 18:11, KJV.
IF ONE BECOMES A COMMUNICATION LINK WITH THE DEMONIC REALM, HE BECOMES A SPIRIT MEDIUM; AND THE INFORMATION HE TRANSMITS IS A “DOCTRINE THAT DEMONS TEACH” I TIM. 4:1, NIV.
THUS, INTERROGATION OF DEMONS, AND CONVERSATION WITH THEM, IS NOT ONLY FOOLISH BUT EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS

8. NECROMANCY.

GOD’S WORD CLEARLY FORBIDS COMMUNICATION WITH SPIRITS OF THE DEAD. “THERE SHALL NOT BE FOUND AMONG YOU ANYONE WHO…CALLS UP THE DEAD” DEUT. 18:10,11.
SOME, WHOSE LOVED ONES HAVE DIED, ARE TEMPTED TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM.
BUT INSTEAD OF CONTACTING THE SPIRIT OF THEIR LOVED ONES, THEY COME INTO CONTACT WITH FAMILIAR SPIRITS WHO IMPERSONATE DEAD FRIENDS OR RELATIVES.
WHEN JACOB SEPARATED HIMSELF FROM HIS UNCLE, LABAN; RACHEL STOLE HER FATHER’S TERAPHIM OR IMAGES.. (GEN. 31).
THESE HOUSEHOLD IMAGES WERE MADE IN THE LIKENESS OF DEAD ANCESTORS
THIS PASSAGE REVEALS THAT LABAN AND HIS FAMILY WERE INVOLVED IN IDOLATRY.
NOW WE UNDERSATND WHY REBEKKAH COULD USE FAMILIAR SPIRIT TO IMPERSONATE ESAU
THEY BELIEVED THAT THEY COULD BE HELPED BY THE SPIRITS OF THE DEPARTED DEAD.
THIS IS THE FAMILY OF REBECCA THIS IS WHERE SHE GOT HER DEMONIC ATTITUDE FROM
WHEN GOD TOLD JACOB TO RETURN TO BETHEL (THE HOUSE OF GOD), JACOB SAID TO HIS FAMILY;

“PUT AWAY THE FOREIGN GODS THAT ARE AMONG YOU” GEN. 35:2, AND THE TERAPHIM WERE BURIED AND LEFT BEHIND. THEREUPON, THE CURSE WAS AVOIDED; AND THE BLESSINGS OF GOD CAME TO JACOB AND HIS FAMILY, FOR, “THE TERROR OF GOD WAS UPON THE CITIES THAT WERE ALL AROUND THEM, AND THEY DID NOT PURSUE THE SONS OF JACOB” GEN. 35:5.

SOMETIMES, DISPLAYED PICTURES OF DECEASED PARENTS, BROTHERS, SISTERS, GRANDPARENTS OR OTHER DEAD PERSONS CAN ATTRACT FAMILIAR SPIRITS.
KEEPING PICTURES OF DECEASED PARENTS AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS IN OUR BEDROOMS IS WRONG IF WE THINK THEY GIVE US A SENSE OF THEIR CONTINUED PRESENCE IN OUR LIVES.
THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL CONVICTED YOU THAT YOUR DEAD PARENTS WERE NOT HER SOURCE OF COMFORT, SECURITY OR HELP
THOSE PICTURES MUST BE PUT AWAY ESPECIALLY IF THE DEAD RELATIVES WERE INVOLVED IN OCCULTISM AND WITCHCRAFT.
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE; HOWEVER, WHO HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO PRAY TO MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS, OR TO OTHER DEPARTED SAINTS, AS MEDIATORS
WHEN MEN PRAY TO THE SPIRITS OF THE DEAD, THEY ARE PRACTICING NECROMANCY AND THEY ARE JUST FAMILIAR SPIRITS.
THEREFORE, IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ARE SO MANY REPORTED VISITATIONS BY THESE FORBIDDEN MEDIATORS.
FOR EXAMPLE, THERE IS THE APPEARNCE OF THIS SO CALLED MARY IN MANY CATHOLIC COMMUNITIES.
FAMILIAR SPIRITS MANIFESTED THEMSELVES WHEN PEOPLE PRAYED TO MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS.
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, “THERE IS ONE GOD AND ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MEN, THE MAN CHRIST JESUS” I TIM. 2:5.
ALSO, JESUS DECLARED, “NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME” JOHN 14:6.
JESUS IS THE ONLY MEDIATOR AND THE ONLY WAY THROUGH WHOM WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE HEAVENLY FATHER.
9.SPIRIT HUSBANDS AND SPIRIT WIVES
THESE ARE EVIL MALEAND FEMALE SPIRITS THAT LIE WITH MEN AND WOMEN IN THEIR SLEEP, IN ORDER TO HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH THEM.
THESE UNCLEAN FAMILIAR SPIRITS ARE USUALLY ACQUIRED THROUGH SEXUAL PROMISCUITY.
FORNICATION, ADULTERY ,MASTURBATION. ,LESBIANISM AND LUST
ANY SORT OF SEXUAL PERVERSITY AND DEVIATION WILL GIVE OPPORTUNITY TO THESE WICKED SPIRITS OF SEXUAL LUST.
INVOLVEMENT WITH OCCULTISM AND WITCH DOCTORS CAN OPEN THE DOOR FOR SPIRIT HUSBANDS AND WIVES TO ENTER PEOLE’S LIVES AND TROUBLE THEM
WHAT COULD BE MORE FAMILIAR THAN A SPIRIT WHO COMES TO HAVE SEX WITH A PERSON?
IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE THAT PEOPLE ARE OFTEN EMBARRASSED TO ADMIT THAT THEY ARE HAVING NIGHT VISITATIONS FROM SPIRIT HUSBANDS AND WIVES
BUT IT IS THE DEVIL WHO MAKES PEOPLE FEEL ASHAMED AND AFRAID JUST SO THEY WILL NOT BE SET FREE.
WE MUST EXPOSE THE DEVIL BY BRINGING SECRET THINGS INTO THE LIGHT.
“CONFESS YOUR TRESPASSES TO ONE ANOTHER, AND PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER, THAT YOU MAY BE HEALED” JAS. 5:16.
DELIVERANCE MINISTRATION AND PRAYERS
WE MUST APPLY THIS TEACHING ON FAMILIAR SPIRITS TO OUR OWN LIVES TODAY.
HAS ANY DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY BEEN OPENED TO FAMILIAR SPIRITS IN OUR LIVES AND FAMILIES?
IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE OF THE PRESENCE OF FAMILIAR SPIRITS IN OUR FAMILIES?

1) WE MUST REPENT ON OUR BEHALF AND THAT OF ALL OUR FAMILIES OF EACH SIN THAT HAS GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES FOR RELATIONSHIPS WITH FAMILIAR SPIRITS. GOD’S WORD WARNS THAT IT IS A SIN TO HAVE A FAMILIAR SPIRIT.

A FAMILIAR SPIRIT IS NOT JUDGED BY WHETHER OR NOT IT APPEARS TO BE OF BENEFIT, BUT BY WHAT GOD HAS SAID ABOUT IT.2) RENOUNCE THE FAMILIAR SPIRITS. AN INDIVIDUAL CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE FAMILIAR SPIRIT OPERATING IN HIS LIFE. FALL OUT OF AGREEMENT WITH THE FAMILIAR SPIRITS.

3) DESTROY ANY THING OR ANY HABIT THAT YOU HAVE THAT WOULD GIVE A LEGAL RIGHT FOR SUCH A SPIRIT TO REMAIN. TELL IT THAT IT IS NOT NEEDED OR WANTED.

4) RESIST AND CAST OUT THE DEMONIC SPIRITS, USING YOUR SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY AS A BELIEVER IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. EMPLOY THE SPIRITUAL WEAPONS OF THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, AND THE WORD OF GOD. FOR THESE WEAPONS “ARE MIGHTY IN GOD FOR PULLING DOWN STRONGHOLDS” II COR. 10:5 .

PRAYER AND WARFARE
“LORD JESUS, I BELONG TO YOU AND MY FAMILY BELONGS TO YOU ACCORDING TO OUR PROMISE
YOU HAVE SAVED US AND REDEEMED US BY YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD.
WE NO HAVE NEED OF ANY OTHER SPIRIT OTHER THAN THE HOLY SPIRIT.
FORGIVE US FOR ALLOWING AND EVEN INVITING OTHER SPIRITS INTO OUR LIVES.
I RENOUNCE AND SEPARATE US FROM ALL EVIL, UNRIGHTEOUS AND FAMILIAR SPIRITS IN ALL OUR LIVES IN JESUS NAME.
HOWEVER ACQUIRED. “SATAN, I TAKE BACK ALL GROUND THAT WE HAVE IN EVER YIELDED TO YOU IN MY FAMILY.
I LOOSE YOUR INFLUENCE AND CONTROL OF EVERY FAMILIAR SPIRIT FROM OUR HEARTS, MINDS OR LIVES IN ANY WAY BY THE POWER AND AUTHORITY OF GOD ALMIGHTY IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.
NOW FATHER, I CALL UPON YOU TO DELIVER US ALL FROM THE LIES AND DECEPTIONS OF FAMILIAR SPIRITS.
TEACH US YOUR TRUTH AND YOUR WAYS. HELP US TO BE LED, DIRECTED AND GUIDED BY YOUR SPIRIT. AND TEACH US TO WALK IN YOUR WILL AND TO GLORIFY YOUR NAME IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.”
