06 Apr How to Spiritually Cleanse Your Home of Demons
Just as our vehicles become dirty and need to be washed, so too do we find that throughout the years the places we eat, live, and sleep also become dirty and need to be spiritually cleansed. Every home is susceptible to demonic infiltration because of sin. Sin happens, and the implications involve evil spirits attacking the family unit. Vampires have long been portrayed on television as needing invitation and permission to enter into a home. Well, we know that vampires do not exist, but these inferences do apply to demonic spirits and the way they enter into not only our physical homes but also the human body and soul (mind, will, and emotions).
Luke 11:24-26 KJV says:
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
Our homes must be cleansed and then protected by the blood of Jesus Christ. Objects which glorify darkness and wickedness carry with them spiritual attachments and implications. Just as we know items such as the Bible can be blessed by God, other items in our world can in the same way carry curses and negative spiritual energy. When we pray in the name of Jesus Christ, we can break the powers of darkness and remove these curses from certain objects, items, and relics. Other items must be removed in order to eliminate the threat these evil spirits pose by having invaded where we live.
To give an example, a wicked movie is a wicked movie no matter how many times we pray and command the forces of darkness attached to it to leave. These movies open up portals in which the enemy can send spirits into our home, because by watching it and enjoying what we are seeing, our minds have been opened to come into agreement with what we are seeing. We watch it because this is what our eyes, minds, and hearts enjoy. If we did not enjoy it, we would not desire to watch it and would have no problem removing it from our homes. Think about it: many people contend that just because a Christian watches an inappropriate movie does not mean that the Christian is now vulnerable or unprotected by the blood of Jesus. Unfortunately, the reality is that through willful sin and disregard of what is holy or unholy, we come into agreement with what is happening in these movies, i.e. nudity, sex, violence, murder, vulgarity, profane language, etc., and therefore coming into agreement with the sins that we are spectators to. This agreement means we have decided that what we see is enjoyable and acceptable because if it were not, we would not watch it. We spend time on the things we enjoy. Simply put, if we did not enjoy it, then we would deem it unacceptable for the Christian to view, own, or partake in.
In the realm of music, words have power. The Bible says that the power of life and death is in the tongue. Many songs carry a message of death and glorify sin, thereby opening up portals for demonic infiltration of the mind, body, and soul in one form or another. These spirits attack in groups and lead to rebellious mindsets and many other struggles in our thought life and emotions. What we open our minds to, the same will seek to invade us and our homes. We must take authority in the name of Jesus and drive out the enemy. To remove legal rights and permissions for the enemy to be there, we must remove the object or item that has allowed it to come in and repent for our actions which led to the sin (buying inappropriate music, listening to it, etc.).
Most things are common sense but others aren’t so much. Anything related to new age religion must also be removed from the home. Books on crystal healing, chakra healing, witchcraft, magic, sorcery, spell books, potion books, eastern religions, and all other related forms of literature must be removed from the home and properly destroyed or trashed. Video games which glorify these forms of activities must also be removed from the home and repented of. Many activities such as yoga, mantras, deep meditation, and astral projection are open doors to witchcraft steeped in eastern mysticism and all items, literature, etc. must be removed and eliminated from the home. Antique items which come from places like Africa or India where witchcraft, sorcery, and dark religions such as Hinduism must be prayed over to break the spiritual attachments to them or properly discarded. Discretion and discernment is found in being safe rather than sorry.
Another thing to note: demons are sly and stealthy. Many attacks against you will not be overtly related to you bringing something dark or inappropriate into your home. Many times these attacks will escalate and become more aggressive over a period of months or years and the victim will usually not have the discernment to know that the attack relates to one particular behavior (watching bad movies) or item (trinkets brought in from another country that’s cursed). Look for signs of long term spiritual pervasiveness. Find the root of the sin. Where did it start? When did it start? What event in your life did you see great spiritual change where attacks really began or picked up steam? Of course this line of thought can be linked to many choices, behaviors, and all other forms of sin, and can take you far outside the realm of just bringing bad things into your home. Have the attacks been prolonged and gotten worse over time. Likely if this has been the case for years, then each family member will need to seek out a deliverance minister or counselor for soul healing, cleansing, and deliverance.
This particular article will be focused specifically spiritually cleansing the home of spiritual garbage which creates open doors for demonic infiltration and how to pray for cleansing, protection, and blessings from the Holy Spirit of God. Make your home a sanctuary. Would you watch those movies or listen to that music in a church? Why is your house any different? Consecrate yourself before the Lord, stay covered in the blood of Christ, and live holy as He is holy.
