12How to Cast Out Demons and Break Cursesdoubt, unbelief, indecision and procrastination.In the area of the tongue, they can cause lying, cursing, gossipand blasphemy and in the sexual area, perversion, homosexualityand masturbation.Further, they can affect us in the area of alcohol, nicotine,gluttony and anorexia and in physical infirmities they often causetumours, heart attacks, arthritis, allergies and cramps.Most addictions come out of frustration.The demon of lying needs a tongue to lie through, a demon ofdoubt needs a mind to doubt through and a demon of lust needssexual organs to lust through.If we have recurrent evil, disruptive, emotional attitudes whichdominate us against our will, for example resentment, hatred,fear, envy, jealousy and pride or extreme moodiness with changesfrom being extremely talkative to unnaturally quiet, or if thereis an unnatural restlessness and talkativeness, these can be thesigns of demonic activity.

THROUGH OUR OWN SINA list of major sins from Scripture has already been referred toin the previous chapter.Such things as idolatry, rebellion against God, unforgiveness,anger, rejection, hatred, bitterness, oral sex, sodomy,homosexuality, lying, lust and similar sins can provide a platformthrough which demons can enter.The following is a most interesting Scripture:“The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD, searchingall the inner depths of his heart.” (Proverbs 20:27)The marginal note in the New King James Version says that theliteral translation of the word ‘heart’ is ‘the rooms of the belly’.Thus, one could say that our heart spiritually contains rooms.If sin resides in any one of these rooms, then it can provide aplatform for demonic activity. This is one of the reasons whyChristians can be troubled with demons.2. THROUGH THE SINS OF OUR ANCESTORSIdolatry which brings the curse of God on to the third andfourth generation.

For I,the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquityof the fathers on the children to the third and fourthgenerations of those who hate Me.” (Exodus 20:1-5)Some effects of hereditary sin:RejectionWitchcraft and occultismAbnormal fearsCursesSexual lustCultural problemsAddictionsSchizophreniaRebellionAnger3. DOMINATION OF ONE PERSON BY ANOTHERThe spirit of Jezebel. Jezebel is referred to in Scripture both asa person and as a spirit.It is significant that the persons referred to as Jezebel havemany of the same characteristics of the spirit of Jezebel. Jezebelis one of the three strong men which form the unholy trinity.

How to Cast Out DemonsHowandDemonsBreak CursesEnter15Jesus said we must bind the strong man:“Or else how can one enter a strong man’s house andplunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man?And then he will plunder his house.” (Matthew 12:29)Jezebel is called the Lady of Kingdoms in Isaiah.“Sit in silence, and go into darkness, 0 daughter of theChaldeans; For you shall no longer be called The Lady ofKingdoms.” (Isaiah 47:5)It is clear from Isaiah 47 that it was the demonic power behindBabylon.It has been evidenced clearly through people, e.g. as wife ofKing Ahab:“Now Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of theLORD, more than all who were before him.And it came to pass, as though it had been a trivialthing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the sonof Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter ofEthbaal, king of the Sidonians; and he went and servedBaal and worshiped him.Then he set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal,which he had built in Samaria.” (1 Kings 16:30-32)The spirit of Jezebel encourages idolatry.Again, in Revelation 2:18-23, Jesus refers to the woman,Jezebel, in the church at Thyatira, who was teaching and beguilingHis servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat thingssacrificed to idols. (Revelation 2:20)

16How to Cast Out Demons and Break CursesSpirit of Jezebel means mother-child religion. We often findthat the spirit of Jezebel is binding a person but within thatperson there is a little child called, ‘Terror’. This spirit of the littlechild will manifest as a six year old or a seven year old child orat any age, because at that time there has been a great traumain the person’s life and that spirit of terror has entered causingdouble-mindedness.The spirit of Jezebel in a person seeks a weak man toencourage him to come under the spirit of Ahab. Any person whois dominating or controlling another person in an ungodly waybecomes subject to the spirit of Jezebel which is, in effect, a spiritof witchcraft.4. THROUGH OUR MINDOur thought life, through fantasy, e.g. through fantasizingabout sex. Also in the playing of games such as dungeons anddragons.5. THROUGH TOUCHING DEAD BODIESSometimes spirits (not of the dead person) but which havebeen around or within the dead person, seek another home andwhen we touch a person in our grief or kiss them, Satan oftenenters.6. SHOCKAs a result of shock or trauma, the devil often attacks and wehave to cast out the spirit of shock or trauma.

ACCIDENTSAt the moment of an accident, a spirit of fear can attack aperson and unless cast out, they have continuing sickness orpain.9. MARRIAGE BREAKDOWNSThe anger and resentment and hatred that results frommarriage breakdowns is a primary entry point of demonic power.10. HABITSe.g. masturbation, smoking, fornication.11. UNGODLY SOUL TIESThese are emotional ties existing between people who havebeen in an ungodly relationship, e.g. adultery or persons withwhom another has fornicated. Also, if there has been molestationon the part of the parent to the child. (See prayer in chapter 15)12. TRANSFERENCE(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)Submitting to people who are not Christians.Movies, television, music and magazines full of violence,pornography and lust.Alcoholism.Transference of spirits within a church.Through sexual intercourse, e.g. homosexuals often begin

Matthew 18 makes it clear that if we donot forgive, God will deliver us to the torturers, i.e. thedemons.“And his master was angry, and delivered him to thetorturers until he should pay all that was due to him. SoMy heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, fromhis heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”(Matthew 18:34-35)(h)(i)(j)Rejection.Ungodly tradition, pride, prejudice and religion.Examples:Denominationalism.Doctrinal obsession.Legalism, conservatism and intolerance.Reliance on church doctrine to provide false security.Bondage to specific forms of worship and rejection ofothers.Personal prejudices. 1The occult.

There shall not be foundamong you anyone who makes his son or his daughter

You shall be blamelessbefore the LORD your God. For these nations which youwill dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; butas for you, the LORD your God has not appointed such foryou.” (Deuteronomy 18:9-14)(k) Objects in our home. We should destroy any carvings,objects or anything associated with the occult which is inour home:“Nor shall you bring an abomination into your house,lest you be doomed to destruction like it; but you shallutterly detest it and utterly abhor it, for it is an accursedthing.” (Deuteronomy 7:26)(l) Ethnic traditions, culture and environment, e.g. Japaneseancestor worship, religious spirits. 2(m) False religions. Any religion that denies:1. That access to God the Father is only through JesusChrist crucified.“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved,and will go in and out and find pasture.” (John 10:9)

20How to Cast Out Demons and Break Curses“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.No one comes to the Father except through Me.”(John 14:6)2. That there is only one Spirit of God, namely the HolySpirit, giving access to God.“For through Him we both have access by one Spirit tothe Father.” (Ephesians 2:18)3. Any spirit which denies Jesus Christ has come in theflesh, is the Son of God, lived a sinless life, died on theCross and rose on the third day, contains the spirit ofAntichrist. This is very frequent in our church today:“Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heardthat the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichristshave come, by which we know that it is the last hour.They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if theyhad been of us, they would have continued with us; butthey went out that they might be made manifest, that noneof them were of us.” (1 John 2:18-19)“By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit thatconfesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God.”(1 John 4:2)(n)Heresies, i.e. departures from the Christian faith.

How to Cast Out DemonsHowandDemonsBreak CursesEnter21“that in latter times some will depart from the faith,giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscienceseared with a hot iron,” (1 Timothy 4:1-2)At this time, seducing spirits will draw away believers intoerror.“But there were also false prophets among the people,even as there will be false teachers among you, who willsecretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying theLord who bought them, and bring on themselves swiftdestruction.” (2 Peter 2:1)False teachers by underhand means will introduce damnableheresies.“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test thespirits, whether they are of God; because many falseprophets have gone out into the world. By this you knowthe Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that JesusChrist has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit thatdoes not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh isnot of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which youhave heard was coming, and is now already in the world.”(1 John 4:1-3)Increased activity of Antichrist and spirits of Antichrist.

24How to Cast Out Demons and Break CursesSIXHow to be Delivered1. WE MUST HUMBLE OURSELVESIt is a primary requirement of Scripture that if we are going toreceive anything from the Lord, we must be humble. We musthumble ourselves absolutely before God and others.2. WE MUST BE COMPLETELY HONESTWithout honesty there is no true repentance.3. WE MUST CONFESS OUR SINSIt is important that we come before the Lord humbly andconfess our sins. We can also confess them to others. Thisprovides great release and deliverance.“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray forone another, that you may be healed.” (James 5:16)4. FORGIVEIt is imperative that we forgive others. If we forgive and honourour parents then all will be well with us and we will live long onthe earth.“that it may be well with you and you may live long onthe earth.” (Ephesians 6:3)

WE SHOULD CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORDTO BE DELIVERED“For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall besaved.” (Romans 10:13)i.e. delivered.6. WE NEED TO REPENTRepentance involves making a decision not to dothe same thing again. Remorse is being sorry for our sins.While, when we come in repentance to God we are sorrythat we have done something, nevertheless, we must makean absolute decision not to go back into the same sin.Our sins separate us from God and can prevent our healing anddeliverance.“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannotsave; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins havehidden His face from you, So that He will not hear.” (Isaiah59:1-2)The Bible describes sin as follows in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10“Do you not know the unrighteous will not inherit the king-

(1 John 1:9)I suggest you say a prayer such as the following,“Dear Heavenly Father I come to you in the mighty name ofYour Son Jesus Christ.
