DEALING WITH FAMILIAR SPIRITS
A familiar spirit is a spirit
that is familiar with a person, a place or a thing. These spirits have become
accustomed to the lifestyles, moods and behavioral patterns of an individual
life making them impossible to detect unless the Holy Spirit
is revealing. Those who are
controlled by familiar spirit are not able to discern if these patterns
are part of their lifestyles or are they motivated by these spirits.
I. FAMILIAR SPIRITS have
become FAMILIAR WITH A PERSON’S LIFESTYLE, moods and behavioral
patterns.
-They have learned to work
around the person’s character.
-They have become accustomed
to his ways and behavioral patterns.
- They have taken time to study
your weaknesses and strengths.
-They have infiltrated your
emotional and thought patterns.
-They know how you will react
or act in various situations.
-They know your comfort zones
as well as explosive zones.
II. FAMILIAR SPIRITS open door
for OTHER SPIRITS to INVADE YOUR LIFE.
-They are “informers”
of areas that are “open to sin”.
-They know the entrance points
of your heart and life.
-They know your past history
and intimidate future advancement.
-They know how to afflict our
weakness and keep us sorrowful.
-They control us by the past
weakness and failure.
III. FAMILIAR SPIRITS are RESIDENTIAL
SPIRITS.
- They stay with the individual
or family.
-They sometimes carry forward
from past generations.
-They are permitted by other
spirits to move with you to different places or cities.
-They can choose not to follow
you but stay in your home.
-They can only influence the
person they have taken position to reside with.
- Spirits familiar with you
may not be familiar with me.
IV. FAMILIAR SPIRITS REFUSE US TO CHANGE.
-They make us resent change
and fear of losing our comfort.
-They depress us with the cost
of allowing change until it becomes distasteful in our sight and
unwarranted.
-They cushion our comfort zones
with well-padded thought patterns and humanistic reasoning.
- They stir our emotions until
we are upset with change and we feel change is a nuisance and it is
inconvenient.
V. FAMILIAR SPIRITS thrive
in UNREPENTANT LIVES.
-They can dominate the CYCLE
OF CONTINUAL DEFEAT.
-They open doors to religious
spirits who often cause us to put more value on rituals, religious
ways instead of RELATIONSHIP with JESUS.
- They afflict us with the
sense of guilt and condemnation by tormenting us with sin- conscious.
VI. FAMILIAR SPIRITS are responsible
to TRANSFER a problem, a sickness or a curse from one generation to another.
-Spirits do not die and thus
they are capable to carry on into many generations.
-They also work to establish
themselves through natural genes of the family lineage.
-The similarity of personality
and character exposes the new generation to the old sins.
- These spirits attack also
on the same areas of temptation on that family.
VII. FAMILIAR SPIRITS CONTROL
REGULAR NEGATIVE EMOTIONAL CYCLES.
-They control outbursts of
anger, depression, swings of moods, bitterness, etc.
- They engineer circumstances
in your life to allow the continual manifestation of these cycles.
-They control the thought patterns
that govern these areas so that we see no reason to change.
- These areas are seen as “weapons”
we can use for our benefit instead of calling it as “SIN”.
HOW TO BE SET FREE?
1. RECOGNISE and LOCATE AREAS
OF REGULAR CYCLE OF DEFEAT.
2. AVOID GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
for CIRCUMSTANCES that will allow these areas to manifest.
3. CHANGE LIFESTYLE and thus
WRONG HABITS.
4. CONTROLLING and DISCIPLINING
wrong emotional expressions.
5. CHOOSE AN OPPOSITE LIFESTYLE
than that which is giving room to these negative expression. In short, live
a lifestyle that will make the familiar spirit to be so unfamiliar with
you. Life of Christ must be lived in the lifestyle of son-ship.
Remain Blessed in Jesus name.
