FOREWORDAfter becoming acquainted through e-mail and phone, Nehemiah

and his wife, Hannah, visited our ministry a few years ago.

Although they had been living in South Carolina for quite some

time, had a nice home with acreage and were basically settled in

retirement, they decided the Lord would have them sell out and

move to Euless to be a part of our local body and ministry. They

presently live on campus in a small apartment and are a vital part

of the ministry here.

It has been my blessing and joy to watch them eagerly receive

ministry and see the change in their lives. Nehemiah, with his

website www.freeinthelordministries.com, is a tremendousadvocate of the power of personal deliverance and is a walking

testimony of such.

Hear Nehemiahs heart cry in this book. I know he has written this

because he has found this powerful work of God in his personal

life. What he is saying is so true and effective if people will receive

what the Lord has provided for true change in their lives.

May this word come into your life as light and liberty.

PREFACE

People worldwide live in awesome bondage, condemnation,

guilt, rejection, anger, poverty and lives that are often broken to

the point of death. This is not what a loving and powerful God

wants for His children. Why do so many suffer so much?

Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and to set the

captives free. Everywhere He went demons were cast out and

people healed. Why not today? Why dont pastors and believers

worldwide take seriously what Jesus taught and did in His

earthly ministry? There is no reason to refuse the ministry of

deliverance, the breaking of curses over a persons life and the

casting out of demons in the name of Jesus.

This book explores three major areas of bondage: (1) deliverance

from demons, (2) the breaking of various curses (3) the impact

of contact objects. It is way past time to quit denying what

Jesus taught and did, to put on spiritual armor, go forward in the

name and authority of Jesus Christ and bring people OUT OF

BONDAGE.

JOEL 3:13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread,

for the wine press is full. JOHN 4:35 It is time to cry aloud

that the time and age of harvest is now.

1 - Deliverance Ministry of Jesus

Jesus ministered deliverance to multitudes of people. His heart and

passion was to see hurting people in bondage set free.

MARK 1:39 And He went through all Galilee, preaching in

their synagogues and expelling the demons.

MARK 16:17 And these signs will follow those who believe. In

My name they will cast out demons


5/20

23

MATTHEW 12:28 - But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of

God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you. Jesus

emphasized the unique signicance of the ministry of casting out

demons.

He ordered the demons to be quiet so He could deal with the

manifesting person. Jesus never ordered the person be put out of

the synagogue, as some are put out of churches today. How simple

His way is as MATTHEW 10:7-8 recorded: And as you go,

preach, saying the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick

cleanse the lepers raise the dead CAST OUT DEMONS.

Jesus commissioned this ministry and believers are to obey and

follow Him.

2 - Christians Do Have Demons

MATT 10:1-8, MARK 16:17 and Luke 9:1-2 give clear instructions

about unclean spirits. The 12 disciples received instructions from

Jesus about what to do in their ministry. Christians have problems,

profound desperate problems that often seem to defy any solution.

Every sincere Christian struggles faithfully against Satans attempt

to overpower him. Prayer goes unanswered, the old self refuses to

stay dead, tempers and anger remain, shameful appetites, fears and

anxieties continue.

Most believers learn to live with these situations and never get the

real freedom Jesus wants for them. Evil spirits literally invade the

personality of the person and exercise some dominion and control

from within the person and feed on fears, insecurities, rejections,

unforgiveness, bitterness and anger,

Many Christians believe that Satan will just go away if only they

ignore him. Not true. We oppose him and he will ee. No one

should ever take a cavalier attitude towards Satan. 1 PET 5:8-9,

JAMES 4:7 and 2 COR 1:9,11 are clear warnings.

Out of ignorance and/or instilled fears some believers do not

believe in demons or the ministry of deliverance, which Jesus

commissioned. Fear of any kind comes directly from Satan. Any

believer, realizing and admitting they are under demonic inuence,

is humbled and under some degree of trauma. It is often difcult

for someone in a place of authority or reputation to submit to

deliverance ministry. Pride and shame enter. Satan and his demons

are deceivers. Their cunning has convinced most members in

the Body of Christ that a Christian cannot have a demon or be

demonized in some area of their life. This deception continues

through unscriptural false teachings. The Bible nowhere says that

a sheep of the house of Israel cannot have a demon. You cannot

crucify a demon, pray him out or put him to death demons

only go by casting them out in the name of Jesus after certainconditions are met by the believer.

A Christian can be tormented or aficted by demons in some area

of his life, and yet praise and worship God, or have some physical

illness traced to a spiritual root. Jesus expelled demons from many

people who led ordinary lives. Believers suffer with numerous

physical inrmities and thoughts or dealing with uncontrollable or

unhealthy appetites. What about you?

Christians who are normal, successful, healthy and faithful to God,

can be beset by haunting fears or compulsive appetites (lust, greed,

addictions) caused by the presence of some evil spirit. When they

submit to deliverance ministry the process of real freedom begins.

What does the average Christian normally do with these torments?Sadly, they seek drugs, therapies, the occult, medical treatments,

continual prayers at the altar or remedies outside of what Gods

Word teaches.

Getting rid of demons and curses the way Jesus Christ taught

brings true peace and a life-changing, life-long walk with the Lord.

Jesus Christ is the deliverer - ask Him to help break your bondages

and set you free.

3 - Yes, You Need Deliverance

Many people, desperate to nd peace and freedom, reach out for

deliverance. This is humbling and can be traumatic. They come


6/20

45

after trying a multitude of human, eshly remedies. Failing to

discern the presence of evil spirits they only see the symptoms and

not the root cause of the afiction.

Situations that need attention for deliverance ministry:

Something is out of control

Anger without reason, contentious, bitter, critical

Ongoing health problems, anxiety, insecurity, confusion Oppression, rejection, hurt feelings and teasing

Difcult to pray, study the Bible, praise and worship God

Living in the past, living for future, not living for today

Financial and family problems, addictions

Torment, mental illness, hear voices, depression

Joshua conquered the Promised Land one city at a time.

Deliverance is an ongoing, life-changing process, not a one-time

patchwork experience. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil

and deliverance ministry exposes these evil spirits.

Everyone needs the ministry of deliverance.

4 - Forgiveness Opens The Door For Deliverance

MARK 11:26 If you do not forgive, neither will your Father

who is in heaven forgive you. Part of the suffering of Jesus on the

cross was for our forgiveness. Unforgiveness is the major barrier to

receiving deliverance from the demonic. It gives the demons legal

right to enter and to remain in you. Torment continues until you

forgive.

Some symptoms of unforgiveness to consider:

Anger, outbursts, temper tantrums, over-reacting

Criticism, judgment, negative comments

Jealousy, envy, self-centeredness, impatience, hatred

Broken relationships, isolation, heaviness, depression

Inrmities, pains

Who do you forgive? Everybody. Yourself. So called acts of

God.

How do you forgive? Make a conscious CHOICE. What price is

put on real peace? Forgive and in time emotions will settle, pains

will leave and true peace comes.

5 - Prayer of Forgiveness

Father in Heaven, I come to you in the name of the Lord Jesus

Christ. I believe He is Your Son, He has risen from the grave and

sits at Your right hand ever interceding for me. I repent of not

forgiving, holding bitterness in my heart and being upset about

other people, situations and even myself. You so willingly forgive

so I choose to forgive also. Bring to my mind every person and

everything I need to forgive.

In the Name of Jesus Christ I forgive (people as their names come

to you)

I declare my forgiveness of every person I have named and shall

continue to consider them forgiven from this time on. I also forgive(name hurtful or traumatic situations).

I confess any and all bitterness toward You, oh God. I know You

do not make mistakes and are perfect in all Your ways. Help me to

see that more and more.

I renounce the spirits of bitterness, anger, hatred, violence,

retaliation, murder and memory recall. I command these unclean

spirits to leave me now. I will restore anything owed to anyone as

You give strength and provision and forgive anything that is owed

to my by anyone.


7/20

67

I now receive healing in my physical body and command every

spirit of inrmity and disease to leave me now. You unclean spirits

have no grounds to stay so leave now.

I ask you, Jesus Christ, to pour the balm of healing into my

wounded spirit and I now receive healing for a broken heart that

has come because of hurts, disappointments and abuses. Thank

You, Father and Son through Your Holy Spirit. AMEN.

Prayer printed with permission of Stephen Micah Bell, The KEY Ministry Center, Euless,

Texas

6 - A True Full Gospel Church

Jesus taught His disciples what a true full-gospel church ministry

must include. MATT 10:1-8, LUKE 4:18, LUKE 9:1-2, MARK

6:7-13, MARK 16:15-18 and MATT 12:28-29.

Preach the gospel of the Kingdom of God

People must repent of their sins

Anoint, lay hands on the sick and heal

Cast out demons in the name of Jesus

Take authority over unclean spirits

Set the captives free

Cleanse the lepers

Speak with new tongues Bind the strong man and engage in spiritual warfare

In REV 22:18-19, DEUT 4:2 and PROV 30:4-5 Jesus warns

anyone who adds to or takes away from the Word. God is seeking

people who will obey Him in all things. ROM 9:14-21 He is a

sovereign God. Blessings always ow to the obedient.

7 Churches That Refuse Deliverance

Honest pastors are to teach and minister everything that Jesus

commanded. God warns those who refuse His instructions:

PROV 30:6 Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you,

and you be found a liar.

REV 22:18-19 If anyone adds to these things, God will

add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and

if anyone takes away from the words of this book of this

prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of

Life

Is your pastor and church believing, teaching and ministering

deliverance? If not, WHY? Could it be the fear of man, the

denominational governing board or other members? GAL 1:10

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am Istriving to please men? Will it be to please the Lord or to please

men? You must choose!

Something is terribly and painfully wrong in most churches today.

Jesus clearly said to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the

lepers and cast out demons but the church is busy with various

social and entertainment programs which ignore the spiritual needs

of its suffering members in bondage. Many are listening to and

teaching another gospel, another Jesus and a different spirit.

Documented situations abound where a believer manifests in

services and is quickly removed to the basement or out of the

building, lest somebody be offended or embarrassed. Jesus never

ministered this way. He responded in love by rebuking the demon

in the person and ordering the demon to Be quiet and come out of

him. LUKE 4:33-36 and MARK 1:23-26.

Do what Jesus did and set the people free.

8 - Why Altar Prayers Often Fail

Prayer is necessary. God responds to prayer. Something is seriously

missing when many of the same people go to the altar week after

week. They kneel, pray, even become emotional and cry out but

they are never healed or nd comfort for their pain and suffering.


8/20

89

Why is this?

A woman went to the altar for several weeks and was not

healed of her back pains. I asked the Lord why and He revealed

that a demonic spirit was near her kidneys. Her church denied

outright that she, a believer, could have a demon within or even

be oppressed by a demon. Several months later she came for

deliverance ministry and the Lord gave her healing and freedom.

Another denominational pastor witnessed a member begin to

manifest in services. He chose not to deal with the demon, as Jesus

taught, but called 911. The lady was taken away by ambulance,

along with her demons. She later died in agony. This church andits pastor denied the ministry of deliverance and refused to help

the lady. He glossed over the verses about demons when he taught

from MARK 16. WHY?

What a sad commentary on the suffering of so many believers,

who truly love the Lord, sincerely pray and believe, but remain in

demonic bondage because their church refuses to teach, believe

and practice what Jesus did concerning deliverance.

Jesus strongly describes unconcerned and disobedient pastors in

JOHN 10:11-13. Instead of laying down his life for the ock when

he sees the wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and ees. The pastor

ees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the

sheep, but only doing what he is told to do and paid to do.

What should any pastor do when a member manifests? Take

authority, have other members gather around for support, speak

with the power given him in the name of Jesus, ask the Holy Spirit

for guidance and then cast the demon out and witness the person

get real freedom. Jesus always came casting out demons and

healing the sick. MARK 1:39 And He went into their synagogues

throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons.

Refusing to do what Jesus did is a major problem today in most

churches.

Problems will continue at the altar until all pastors obey Gods

word and minister deliverance.

9 - Body Ministry You Cannot Survive Without It

1 COR 12:12 - For even as the body is one and yet has many

members, and all the members of the body, though they are many,

are ONE BODY, so also is Christ. God has no favorites and He

places each individual member how, when and where He chooses.

EPHESIANS 4:11 and NEHEMIAH 10:39 outline the 5-fold

ministry and various other functions within the body. If a believer

decides to go alone as a lone ranger, who does he turn to when

spiritual or physical needs come? Sickness JAMES 5:14.Hunger, trauma, loneliness, nancial problems, depression, fears,

demonic attacks each person needs to have contact with other

caring believers to help bear burdens.

How can a believer grow and serve if he is not in a body ministry?

TITUS chapter 2 instructs 4 groups of believers. Every believer

is important to God and loved by Him. ECCL 4:9-12 concerns a

person who falls and there is no one to help him get up. God never

intended any believer to be alone. He gives each person a measure

of faith and specic giftings.

Spiritual revelation has been given to Micah Bell (The KEY

Ministries) concerning what happens after a person receives

deliverance and their house has been swept clean.

(Paraphrased quoted excerpts with his permission) - After a believer has

demons cast out there is a deeper cleansing to be done. Minds and

bodies have been deceived and deled by trespassers and thieves

and can now be cleansed and renewed through the blood of Jesus

and the living Word of God. Without a deeper cleansing a person

gets worse instead of better.

The local Body of Christ is very important to any person following

the ministry of having demons cast out. If the person does not get

integrated into a body of believers who see, understand and receive

this part of the ministry of Christ, they will not be able to maintain

their swept house. Within the local body is the work of the


9/20

1011

Holy Spirit showing and teaching the believer to forgive, practice

Kingdom principles of the Word of God and most importantly

learning to love. This cannot be accomplished unless the person is

truly jointed in a Body of Believers.

Many believers receive comprehensive deliverance ministry only

to return to their church (if they have one) where the leadership

either does not believe in or minister deliverance. Consequently,

the earnest disciple nds his or her conquest fades away.

Deliverance is not something we receive once or twice and then

go on our way. The enemies of our souls must be confronted and

engaged. This requires a lifetime of surveillance as one walks

with the full armor of God. Being in a local body provides a place

of safety, transparency, comfort, support and ongoing love from

fellow believers. There is much disappointment in the lives of

many people when they realize that deliverance has no place in

most of their churches today.

God loves family. He desires our lives to be intertwined, bonded

and jointed with one another for ongoing mutual benet and

blessings. Body ministry is an absolute need for any believer.

10 - Deliverance Brings Changes

Deliverance does set a person free but not all at once. JER 15:11

The Lord said, Surely I will set you free for purposes of good.

Joshua took the Promised Land city by city. Deliverance is a life-

style change for the rest of your life. It is wonderful and yet it is

painful at times, requiring understanding, patience and healing.

ACTS 16:16-19 is the story of the slave girl and the apostle Paul

and how he dealt with the spirit of divination in the girl. Her

witchcraft powers and fortune telling were bringing her masters

great prots. After some time Paul was annoyed by this girls

demonic activities and rebuked the demon in her and it came out

immediately. Her masters became furious with Paul and Silas

and took them before the authorities where they were accused of

throwing the city into confusion. They overlooked the spiritual

miracle of deliverance in the slave girl because of their lust and

greed.

LUKE 8:26-37 is about the demonized man from Gerasenes who

suffered for many years until Jesus came and set him free from the

spirit of Legion. The demons were permitted to enter the swine

and went into the sea. Herdsmen in the area saw this deliverance.

Instead of rejoicing at the freedom of the suffering man they

became upset and people in the surrounding district asked Jesus

to leave them. Their pigs were more important than the sanity and

health of the man Jesus set free.

When the power of ruling principalities in a given area is broken

or an individual is set free this causes disruptions and changes in

the people involved. Even demons are affected as JAMES 2:19

says: You believe that God is one. You do well, the demons also

believe, and shudder. Jesus came to destroy the works of the

devil which includes casting demons out of believers and setting

free captives held in bondage.

The breaking of oppression irritates some people. Relationships

within the extended family are often challenged, un-healthy soul-

ties are broken, the spirits of Ahab and Jezebel are exposed, and

issues of manipulation-domination-intimidation are revealed.

People are exposed for what they really are and division is the

result. Where they should be rejoicing there is often resentment

and anger at the changed person. Deliverance often causes division

when it exposes the works of darkness and brings people to the

light of the truth. One who prefers darkness is suddenly threatened.

Deliverance brings the Kingdom of God among people. And true

freedom to the believer. JOHN 8:31 If you abide in My word, you

are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the

truth shall make you free.

Are you ready for real change in your life? Jesus will set you free

1- What Is A Curse?To utter a wish of evil against someone, utter or call for mischief,

or for injury that can cause one to fall, to vex or arrest, all meant to

bring people into great calamities. (Websters 1828 Dictionary)

DEUT 8:20 you shall perish; because you would not listen tothe voice of the Lord your God. Disobedience brings curses into a

persons life. DEUT 28:15-45 outlines the serious consequences of

not obeying God in all things.

Disobedience, spoken words, witchcraft, contact objects, occult,

generational there are many open doors that allow curses

to operate in your life. Following chapters give many causes of

curses but do not include every curse. If you are cursed ask the

Lord to reveal whats behind the curse and what you should do.

The Holy Spirit will guide you to the godly solution. Remember

PROVERBS 26:2 So a curse without cause does not alight.

2 - Pierced Earrings and Body Piercing

LEVITICUS 19:28 You shall not make any cuts n your bodyThe typical jewelry box contains several pierced earrings, studs

and other items to be inserted into the ears and other body parts.

Why pierce if the Lord says dont? Where do these practices come

from? Are they dangerous?

Magic arts teach that the rst earrings were worn to block evil

spirits from entering ones body through various openings and

taking control. Piercing of the ear is an ancient practice to allow

one to wear earrings. Most body piercing is somehow associated

with various religious and magical reasons:

Strengthen weak eyes

Set with emeralds for better vision effects

Gold earrings might cure headaches Some people believe they offer protection

GENESIS 35:2-4 and the earrings which were in their ears;

and Jacob hid them

Pierce your esh and these can happen:

Bells Palsy pierces 7th cranial nerve behind ears 40,00

new cases in United States reported each year

Difculty smiling, blinking and closing eyes, frowning

Gland problems that control tears and saliva

Twitching, weakness, paralysis, drooling, droopy eyelids


11/20

1415

Dry mouth, taste impairment, tongue-eye-ear problems

Impaired speech, headaches, dizziness, sexual problems

God says Do not cut your esh. Obedience to Gods law

prevents any associated problems to your body.

3 Slavery Willie Lynch The Plantation

Curses of slavery are extant worldwide with broken family lines,

attitudes of hate, violence and whole countries devoured by racism.

Africa suffers under racial prejudice even in the 21st century.

The United States was torn apart by the Civil War of 1861-65.

Supremacy groups still function today, spewing forth the venom of

racism simply because of a persons skin color.

Willie Lynch was an infamous slave owner in Virginia. He wrote

the book entitled Lets Make A Slave, a classic study of how he

cursed black people to keep them in bondage. This curse began

in 1712 on the banks of Virginias James River. Lynch controlled

the slaves by using fear, distrust, envy, beatings and murdering

males in front of their families. He taught female slaves to be

independent and negotiable and that the male slave was mentally

dependent and weak. Lynch fostered distrust among the slaves and

to trust only the white owners and their families. This may be a

reason for so much welfare today.

Lynch and many other slave owners placed numerous curses on

black people that need to be broken. Leaders need to come forward

and take authority over these curses and break them in the name of

Jesus.

A copy of the Willie Lynch curse was sent to a Christian group in

Kenya. The members prayed, repented (some of their ancestors had

betrayed family members to slave traders) and broke the slavery

curse and many were set free. Seek the Lord to know if any of your

ancestors were slave owners and break those curses as God leads.

This writers great-great grandfather, brick mason and plantation

farmer in Georgia, owned slaves. An ancestral generational curse

came on his family and his descendants and those who were

enslaved and their family lines. Through deliverance ministry I

broke this curse off my family line.

4 - Stigmata A Demonic Teaching

Demons can imitate the suffering of Jesus. One way is the

stigmata, where sores and marks resembling the crucixion

wounds of Jesus on the cross appear in human esh. This

sometimes occurs during a religious ecstasy or hysteria. Over 300documented cases, mostly women, are recorded since the 13 th

century. The most famous case is St. Francis of Assisi.

Jesus was wounded for our transgressions ISAIAH 53:5 no

other person was. We do share in His sufferings: 1 PETER 4:12-13

and 1 CORINTHIANS 1:4-5. The bleeding palms, sores or other

markings in the human body are deceptions from Satan.

5 Sexual Abuse

Most common is one family member abusing another close family

member. Many homes have a history of ongoing sexual abuse,

which is the root of many serious problems, affecting millions ofpeople.

Serious emotional, mental and physical health problems are created

by one or more of the following situations. Not every abused

person encounters every situation:

Rape Incest

Sins of the fathers

Blocked or bound memory

Emotional pain and damage

Depression, traumatic shock

Death and suicide wishes


12/20

1617

Sexual fantasy, Pornography addiction

Frigidity, extra-marital affairs

Cannot discern true agape love

Flashbacks during right sex

Blanking out, hatred of right sex

Family secrets, hatred and shame

A sexually abused person nds it difcult to speak out about what

happened.They may not remember a single detail. Jesus shows

compassion about their pain. Deliverance ministry is needed to set

the abused person free.

6 - The Cleft Palate

The 4th most common birth defect worldwide., affecting 1 out of

every 700 births. Basically it involves the separation of the upper

jaw or upper gum and an opening in the roof of the mouth occurs.

One common belief in some countries says people with cleft lips

are cursed because the pregnant woman went outside during the

eclipse of the moon. This is obviously a demonic belief. One

superstition says: If the cleft is corrected a curse will shift to the

entire family. Many in India choose to do nothing to help the child

with a cleft palate because they fear some curse will come on them.

Some parents abandon their children and some mothers are blamed

for their childs situation. This is demonic.

Treatment is simple, often costing no more than $500 US. The

stigma of the cleft palate leaves untold thousands of children

without a good education, opportunity for marriage or a normal

social life. Cleft palate in the United States is not a general

problem.

Believers need to seek the Lord for the root cause of the cleft

palate in their children This author believes the cleft palate is

a generational sins of the fathers curse and should be handled

accordingly.

7 - Stones and Gems New Age

Mother Earth worship produces interest in precious stones and

gems and New Agers want us to believe that special powers are

attached to these items. The following information is for you to

investigate, examine, and, with prayer, determine if there is a

demonic element involved in the possession of and wearing this

jewelry. Supposed properties attached to stones and gems:

Amethyst immune system, helps mental disorders,psychic powers, calms nerves and gives protection

Diamond master healer, deters negative thoughts,

enhances brain function

Emerald strengthens heart, liver, kidneys and nervous

system. Enhances dreams, meditation, spiritual insight and

balances emotions

Jade corrects eye disorders, female problems and

increases longevity and fertility

Opal aids eyesight and enhances intuition

Ruby vitalizes blood, body and mind systems, gives

feelings of success

Sapphire strengthens willpower, psychic powers and

dispels confusion

Topaz detox body, strengthen thyroid, balance emotions Turquoise strengthens body, aids circulation, lungs and

respiration. Common in Native American jewelry

Zircon strengthens mind, relieves bowel problems and

sleep disorders

8 Smoking

There is a demonic connection to smoking. A mind-control demon

tells you to light up while having a drink, watching TV, a movie

or observing another person smoking. A question to ask yourself is:

If my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit then why would I want

to foul it with smoke? 1 COR 3:7 gives warning about hurting


13/20

1819

ones body.

Nicotine is addictive and demons will use this against a smoker. It

attacks the nervous system, causes mood swings between periods

of hypertension and depression, affects mental alertness, and dulls

the senses in general.

Smoking is very expensive and curses ones nances by wasting

funds. Second-hand smoke harms others and is socially rude. The

spirit of death accompanies smoking. It is called slow suicide.

Biblical research seems to indicate that smoking is burning

incense to pagan gods. There is nothing redeeming in smoking

and a believer should repent and cast the demons of tobacco outin the name of Jesus.

9 Tattoos

Another violation of Gods law on cutting the esh is tattoos.

This practice is related to blood-letting and magic and can led to

one or more of the following curses:

Related to blood-letting and magical practices

Serious skin and blood infections, hepatitis C

Roots traceable to pagan demonism, Baal worship,

occultism

Themes of death (snakes, skulls, spiders, webs, demons) Alcohol and drug problems increase, violent behavior

Sexual misconduct, dropping out of school, jobs, activities

Possible psychiatric conditions, bi-polar, antisocial,

bondage

Damage to relationships and employment opportunities

Most people would never deface or dele a place of worship but

have little or no objection to deling or defacing their own bodies.

What might cost $50 and a few minutes of time may take years and

thousands of dollars to remove. Tattoos can become an albatross

on a person for all time. Obeying the Lord and never cutting ones

esh with tattoos guarantees safety from many curses.

10 Self-Imposed Spoken Curses

MATTHEW 12:36-37 for by your words you will be justied,and by your words you will be condemned. Jesus focused on idle

words and what you speak is powerful. You cannot cover up your

idle chatter by saying Oh, I was just kidding or I did not mean

it.

Derek Prince (quoting Blessing or Curse, chapter 12) gives examples

(some paraphrased) of idle words, which can curse both speakerand recipient:

Mental and/or emotional breakdown

Its driving me crazy, It makes me mad to think

Repeated or chronic illness

Im sick and tired - I always catch that bug

Barrenness and female problems

Ive got that curse again Ill lose this one too

Marriage problems and family alienation

I knew he would nd another womanPalm-reader said

I should leave my husband Our family always ghtslike cats and dogs

Suicide, unnatural or untimely deaths

Whats the use of living? Over my dead body

Id rather die than

Accident prone

Always happens to me I knew trouble was ahead

Im a clumsy person Ive got the dropsys today,

watch out

Oaths and pledges made to secret societies, fraternities,


14/20

2021

sororities and social clubs carry severe consequences

for the speaker and family members, even down several

generations.

Speaking negative words invites demons to come in, take over and

fulll what you spoke. Death-talk produces a meaningless life and

physical inrmities, many which defy explanation. PROVERBS

6:2 You are snared with the words of your mouth Be careful

what you say and even what you think.

PROVERBS 18:221 Death and life are in the power of the

tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit

11 - Generational Iniquities of Fathers

EXODUS 34:7 and NUMBERS 14:18 visiting the iniquity ofthe fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations. We

are the recipients of the iniquities of our grand parents back several

generations. This does not sound fair but the Lord allows this and

expects us to deal with these curses. What are they?

UNINVITED GUESTS demons can only enter if given a legal

right. This is called an open door and entrance is gained from one

or more of the following:

Child conceived out of wedlock brings the curse of the

bastard

Illicit sexual activity allows perverted sexual demons

Pornography deles the eye-gate

False church doctrines and customs religious spirits

Altering or profaning the Word of God

Witchcraft, Occult, Horoscopes, Ouija Boards, Palm-

reading

Word curses, gossip, back-biting, slander

Blood transfusions, Organ transplants taking the soul of

another

Never fear Satan or the demons. Walk in the power and authority

of Gods Word and the name of Jesus. Listen only to the voice of

the Holy Spirit.

BASTARD DEUT 23:2 One of illegitimate birth shall not enter

the assembly of the Lord. Any child conceived out of wedlock

is by Bible denition a bastard and this curse can affect up to 10

generations unless broken in the name of Jesus after appropriate

forgiveness of all persons involved. Here are some problems that

can affect a person born as a bastard:

Lust, anger, hate, envy, jealousy, being unsettled Difculty in maintaining steady work, church and

marriage issues

Being a vagabond (wandering from place to place)

Drug and alcohol problems, fascination with crime, occult,

witchcraft

Ahab and Jezebel tendencies, self-hatred

Confrontational or withdrawal nature, difculty in

knowing true love

Difcult in having good relationships, suicide thoughts

Adultery, fornication, abortion, incest, insecurity, sexual

sins

Rejection, bitterness, rebellion, loneliness

King David conceived a bastard child (II SAMUEL 11:2-5) and

committed murder trying to cover his sexual sin. The child died

and Davids household was cursed.

FAMILY TREE Possible results of problems in the family history

Tragic deaths (suicide, accidental, murder, died in prison or

mental ward

Considered black sheep, rejects, outcasts

Addictions to drugs, sex, alcohol, food, work, social clubs,

church

Sexual perversions (adultery, pornography, incest,

prostitution)

Racism, multiple marriages, divorce, spousal abuse,

indelity, grudges

Selshness, greed, hoarding, locked in past history and deja

vu

HEALTH PROBLEMS persistent issues with your overall health

Blood pressure, diabetes, heart conditions, stroke, by-pass

surgery

Bone and joint issues, arthritis, scoliosis, hump-

back(widow hump) Nerves: breakdown, migraines, shingles, neuropathy

Skin: acne, psoriasis, warts, eczema, cancer, blemishes, age

spots

Respiratory: asthma, colds, sinuses, congestion,

pneumonia, black-lung

Mental: insanity, schizophrenia, learning disorders

UNBROKEN ANCESTRAL - practices of ancestors can possibly

curse a person

Psychic prayers, witchcraft, Satanism, Wicca, Voodoo

Secret societies such as Freemasonry, Knights Templar,

KKK

Fraternities, Sororities, Secret social clubs

Cults, false religions (without Jesus Christ)

Blood and other oaths with sworn words (Ill never tell)

The Occult, horoscopes, sances

12 Eliminate the Curses

How to break and remove a curse:

Ask the Holy Spirit for a word of knowledge about the

curse

What type of bondage are you in?

When did it begin and do you recognize an open door

Any of my ancestors involved in any way?

Any immediate family members having the same problem?

Many teach that Christ took all the curses and it is nished.

Not true. Grace never means that a curse cant come on

a person and pass down through the generations. God

provides a remedy for the curse.

Confess your own sins and those of your ancestors, repent

Believe that Jesus came to destroy the works of Satan

Accept Gods forgiveness (1 JOHN 1:9), forgive yourself

Claim all of Gods blessings. Speak the scriptures.

Break the curse and remove yourself from the curse in thename of Jesus Christ. Believe and confess that you are

now free in Christ.

EXODUS 20:4 & DEUT 5:8 You shall not make for yourself an

idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth

beneath or in the water under the earth.

This commandment is mostly ignored, very misunderstood,


16/20

maligned by many and neglected by the majority of believers.

WHY? This is the only commandment that carries a serious

downward consequence when disobeyed. Here are samples of

human reasoning concerning objects and images:

Its only a little doll. I just love my ceramic angels

What harm is a mermaid? Stuffed teddy bear-what harm?

Old statue has been in the family for generations

I got a dream-catcher for my grandchild-I see no harm

Images included under this law include:

Animals, stars, sun, moon

Male and female gures, carved images

Standing images (phallic symbols), obelisks, pagodas

Church steeples, minarets, Cross, Crucix

Men have a natural tendency to eventually worship idols and

images, which God prohibits with no exceptions. JOSHUA 6:18

by all means abstain from the accursed things, lest you become

accursed Obey God, avoid being cursed.

2 Your Home Is Not Just A House

HEBREWS 3:4 For every house is built by someone, but the

builder of all things is God. Your body is the temple of the Holy

Spirit (2 COR 6:19). Our bodies should be clean and orderly. It is

reasonable that our physical homes should be the same.

God holds the man responsible for the operation of his family and

home. Men are to search their homes to see if any demonic object

is inside or outside then make the corrections, even if some family

member raises an objection. Many homes and their occupants

are cursed through ignorance, false teachings or lack of proper

instructions.

Make your house a godly home. There is never room for idolatry.

3 Inside Your Home

There is a realm beyond the physical areas of our lives. It is

spiritual and often there is a sense that something in the home is

not right. Here are some situations that should be examined:

Ongoing illness, insomnia, behavioral problems, no peace

Restless children, bad dreams, nightmares, apparitions

Foul odors, nausea, headaches, body pains

Objects move by themselves (poltergeists)

Anything that draws a member to the occult

There are a number of objects in a home that can attract demons.

Some appear innocent or harmless. If anything is questionable, ask

the Lord for discernment. Here are objects to consider that may be

prone to demonic attachment:

Crucix, Dream Catchers, most Irish jewelry

Occult symbols sewn in clothing designs and images

Photos of dead people (death spirits)

Christian jewelry (crosses, doves, sh symbols)

Some antiques, heirlooms, pictures and statues of angels

Puppetry, Ventriloquism, Subliminal tapes, Rock-n-Roll

Music

Satanic symbols (pentagram, cross of Nero, Baphomet)

Dungeons and Dragons, most video games

All dolls, Mime, all porno items, many gemstones

Horoscopes, Ouija Board, Sance materials, Tarot Cards

Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Exorcist, Wizard of Oz,

E.T.

Most Native American artwork, jewelry, clothing, blankets

Boy and Eagle Scout materials. Charms, shamrocks,

You do not have to worship any item for it to be idolatry. Their

existence in your home is enough to give demons the legal right

to be in your home.


17/20

2627

4 Outside Your Home

Many yards contain objects that attract demons. Always seek the

Lord if something is questionable. Some items to consider that

might be demonic:

Ceramics, gures of frogs, owls, birds and animals

Flags (symbols). Believers need no ags for identity

Flamingos (Fire Birds- African myth about Egyptian

Phoenix)

Bootblacks (statues of black men from plantation days-slavery)

Wind chimes (history is rooted in Eastern occultism)

5 Dolls, Puppets and Stuffed Animals

Relationships are built with people, not inanimate objects like

dolls. Many children develop a relationship with a doll, which

becomes a demonic playmate soul-tie.

There are documented cases where a doll spoke to a child. What

spoke was a demon in the doll. This is dangerous to the child.

This writer observed a 3-year old girl receive parental correction in

church, pout, turn to her Raggedy Ann doll and began to talk toit, cuddle and caress it, as if it were a real person. God spoke to me

and said None of my daughters are Raggedy Anns. Dolls attract

demons and create false personalities like the Barbie doll, with

her false fashion and seductive powers.

Puppetry or voice throwing (ventriloquism) is always wrong.

This is a form of magic and involves trickery and deceit, which

leads to spiritual dullness in children and demonic issues later in

their lives.

The ever-popular teddy bear often becomes an imaginary

playmate allowing demons to begin their evil work in the young

childs mind. One couple had a stuffed frog named Max. One day,

as they passed him in the bookcase, they noticed his eyes following

them across the room. The Holy Spirit revealed this demonic

object. It was destroyed, the owners repented and the curses were

broken in the name of Jesus.

Contact objects attract demonic spirits. Always seek the Lord in

these matters and He will show you what is demonic, dangerous or

acceptable.

6 Dream Catchers

Dream catchers, very popular with Native Americans, are used to

lter out bad dreams at dawns rst light. It is believed they trap

unimportant or bad dreams that oat in the air. The middle hole

allows good dreams to reach the sleeping person.

The cribs of many babies have a dream catcher hanging near by.

They are nothing more than an AMULET used as a magic charm

for sleep protection. God warns about this in DEUT 18:10-11.

Many documented deliverance cases exist where children were

wonderfully delivered from demonic problems when the dream

catchers were removed, destroyed and the curses broken.

A good and safe sleep comes from the Lord. PSALM 4:8 In peace

I will both lie down and sleep PSALM 91:5,9-10. God is our

protector and we never need a dream catcher. Believers are to put

their trust for protection in Jesus Christ.

7 Voodoo Dolls

A very popular form of magic which uses a doll, usually made

from wax or cloth, to represent a person being cursed. The doll

is tagged with the name of the cursed person and often an item

belonging to the person is attached to the doll.


18/20

2829

A pin is stuck in the doll to cast the spell, usually around the

liver area. Every kind of evil is conjured up including injury, fear,

death, riches, bad luck to enemies, good luck to the one using the

doll. Colors are important: red = love, black = hate, green = luck,

pink = success, yellow = to dispel evil forces.

God forbids the use of magic dolls of any kind. Those using

voodoo dolls curse themselves and their family line. The practice is

totally demonic and forbidden.

8 Artwork and Bric-a-Brac

Artwork that attracts demons includes many Oriental paintings

dragons, re-breathing monsters, and demon gods/goddesses like

Shiva (India). The Last Supper depicts the so-called Jesus and

His disciples. No one knows what Jesus looked like. To picture

him in any way violates the second commandment.

People who possess such artwork will begin to develop demonic

tendencies over time. They may hear voices, talk to and possibly

see demonic spirits. God warns us in JOSHUA 6:18 ...abstain

from the accursed things, lest you become accursed.

Bric-a-brac includes ceramics and pictures of angels, which are

mostly female. Gods Word teaches that angels are male. Nevermake an image of them. Also included are imps, turtles, frogs and

other images. Possession of these items often brings a demonic

point of contact, a stronghold that is difcult to break.

JOSHUA 7:1, 16-26 is the story of Achan, an accursed object

and the consequences that his ownership brought. God is always

merciful and patient but demands obedience to His laws.

9 Superstitious Objects and Practices

Ivory Hopkins (Pilgrims Church of Deliverance, Georgetown, DE)

compiled a list of superstitions you need to be aware of so you can

be protected from the demonic spirits attached to these beliefs:

Rabbits foot to bring good luck and magical powers

Horse Shoe special powers against evil spirits and

witchery

Wishbone break the V-bone for good luck or special wish

Knock on wood counteracts bad luck.

Four-Leaf clover to give discernment of demons

Crossed ngers a symbol of perfect unity, brings good

luck

String tied on nger keep idea from escaping, memory

aid Broken mirror Divination tool. Who is fairest of all?

Friday the 13th, number 13 Christians never dictate lucky

or unlucky days. God controls our days. Some believe on

Friday the 13th that Eve was tempted, Noah set sail, Tower

of Babel was destroyed, Solomons temple toppled and

Jesus was crucied. Many hotels, motels, ofce buildings

and elevators have no 13th oor.

Black cat across your path so called 9-lives, witches

had black cats and cats are worshipped in some cultures

(ROMANS 1:25)

Walk under a ladder rested against the crucix, a symbol

of wickedness, betrayal and death. Egyptian good luck

symbol (Osiris rescued from darkness because a ladder was

used to save her)

People, without the perfect peace of Jesus, in ignorance, turn to the

superstitious for power and relief. ISAIAH 26:3 You will keep

him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you.

10 Cleanse Protect Bless

JOSHUA 1:3,5 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread

upon I have given to you (5) I will be with you, I will not

leave you nor forsake you. What an awesome promise God made.

We are all responsible for the use and maintenance of everything

his person and property because God is sovereign in all matters.

Nothing escapes the watchful eye of the Lord.

DEUT 8:10-19 and 1 THESS 5:16.We show God we are thankful

by the way we keep our bodies, homes and belongings. How to

cleanse and protect your property:

Anoint all doors, windows and openings with olive oil

frequently

Never allow fear of the demonic to inuence your decisions

Trust the Lord for perfect protection at all times while at

home or away

Jesus has given us absolute authority over Satan and

demons. Use it!

How to bless your home and property:

Dedicate them to love and understanding

Perform duties over them in love

Treat every family member with godly respect

A place of friendship, rest, play and cooperation

PROV 24:3-4 By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it

is established; and by knowledge the rooms are lled with precious

and pleasant riches

PROV 3:33 He blesses the dwelling of the righteous

God has given us physical homes and property. Keep them in a

condition that glories God.

PREFACEPeople worldwide live in awesome bondage, condemnation, guilt,

rejection, anger, poverty and lives that are often broken to the point

of death. This is not what a loving and powerful God wants for His

children. Why do so many suffer so much?

Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and to set the

captives free. Everywhere He went demons were cast out and

people healed. Why not today? Why dont pastors and believers

worldwide take seriously what Jesus taught and did in His earthly

ministry? There is no reason to refuse the ministry of deliverance,

the breaking of curses over a persons life and the casting out of

demons in the name of Jesus.

This book explores three major areas of bondage: (1) deliverance

from demons, (2) the breaking of various curses (3) the impact

of contact objects. It is way past time to quit denying what

Jesus taught and did, to put on spiritual armor, go forward in the

name and authority of Jesus Christ and bring people OUT OF

BONDAGE.

JOEL 3:13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread,

for the wine press is full. JOHN 4:35 It is time to cry aloud that

the time and age of harvest is now.
