Take a moment to imagine you moved into a rented house. The owner has already warned that someone who stayed earlier had committed suicide. After learning the whole story, you learned the name of the person who killed himself. In the middle of the night, you were sleeping and suddenly woke up to see the spirit of the person hanging in front of you. The spirit tells you its name which matches with the story the owner told you. The spirit warns you to leave if you do not want the same to happen to you. It's not the spirit of the person who hanged himself, but the demonic spirit that inspired the person to commit suicide.
Many people mistakenly believe that if they see a spirit in a place, it is the spirit of someone who died there earlier. According to some, this is because he had 80 years to live when he died in the accident, but he was only 40 at the time, so his spirit will roam for another 40 years. After a person dies, his spirit does not roam the earth. When a person dies, his soul immediately leaves this place to go to heaven (if he/she received Jesus) or hell (if he/she did not). This is a choice. Do not let yourself be deceived, my dear people of God.
A dear sister brought her neighbour to me to pray for her. The Holy Spirit inspired me to speak in tongues. As I was praying in the spirit, I saw the woman weeping heavily. I asked her name and she replied, "Lalitha.". The woman who brought her said her real name was Lakshmi. So, I asked the weeping woman what happened. "I am Lalitha," the spirit inside replied. It further said, I married Lakshmi’s husband first but I died. Since she has my husband now, I won't leave her. I said, when Lalitha died, she immediately went to heaven or hell. So, I commanded the spirit calling itself Lalitha to leave and immediately the weeping woman suddenly ceased crying and looked. I asked her name and she answered “Lakshmi”.
Her deliverance was immediate. The devil always appears as a familiar spirit. Another lady came up with the same story while I was preaching in another church. A spirit told the woman it would surely kill her by giving her breast cancer. The woman fell down as I prayed and got delivered. Similar tactics are employed by the devil.
Another lady in our church called me for prayer. After listening to me preach about the Holy Spirit, she got delivered and was able to sleep for the first time in three years. For the past three years, she was able to sleep after 3 am, but only from the last three weeks has she been able to sleep during the night. The problem started when her family was living before in a rented house and she used to see a spirit so visibly with her eyes. It looked exactly like her mother, and she didn't know how to cast it out. In order to keep going, she would say, "victory in the blood of Jesus."
Having understood the problem of familiar spirits and how to cast them out, she was able to cast them out in Jesus' name.
My daughter was studying in college, she called me one day and said, “Dad I could not sleep last night because my thoughts were full of grandpa”. I said, “If that grandfather comes to you again, cast him out in the name of Jesus”. There was no doubt in my mind that my dad had died and went to heaven to be with the Lord.
Another sister shared her testimony with us. She was always visited by her dead grandmother since 2010. Years later, she realized the truth and asked that spirit, "Are you my grandmother?"
Do you know I am the child of Jesus now?” The spirit fled as soon as it heard the name of Jesus. That familiar spirit would kill her if the woman believed she could not cast the spirit of her loving grandmother.
Do not fall victim to deception. A man’s spirit cannot roam on the earth after death. Do not give in to those familiar spirits.
When you dream, see, or think of your loved ones who have passed away, it is not actually them; it is the familiar spirits.
In order to reach you, the Devil uses familiar spirits as a first step. Make sure that you cast them out every time in the name of Jesus and do not allow them any room inside your home.
Eve could not discern the sound of the serpent. If she could discern, she would have stopped it there. Don’t hear nonsense. Be careful not to mistake every voice you hear for God's voice. It is always important to have discernment. In God's creation, only man was given the ability to speak like Him. Eve could have known something was different if she asked the serpent why it wasn't speaking like it used to.
In all my days of being in the Lord - I have always heard God speak in an uplifting manner every time I was down. He never spoke to condemn me or in a way to downgrade me. The most important words He spoke to me were "FEAR NOT". The words God says embolden me and enable me to stand straight from within. Condemnation and accusations are the enemy's way of making you feel guilty. Don't let them weigh you down. Don't let it infect you by believing or hearing it. Satan’s name itself is the accuser. The blood of Jesus is speaking on our behalf. It is Jesus' blood that speaks louder than that of Abel. The blood of Jesus speaks good for us. It is written in Genesis 3:15 that Jesus crushed Satan's head 2000 years ago, Jesus having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. We found a small snake while cleaning our backyard. Toward the end, the cleaners caught only one very small one, even though they expected to find many. Taking a stick, the cleaner knocked its head thrice and threw it back. There wasn't much force to the knock. It wasn't clear to me if the snake died since my children play there.
However, my Lord Jesus struck death blows into the head of Satan and He did it right. He crushed satan’s head right.
During those days, when a tiger entered a village, the British Lord would send his servants to deal with and kill it. In the end, they would call upon the British Lord once their work was completed. The British man would stand over the tiger, hold a gun, and take a picture. This man would be credited with keeping the village safe because of his efforts.
Jesus went before us and crushed the devil’s head. It's just a matter of trampling on it; the victory is already ours. There's no need to worry about it getting up and pouncing on us. Nothing can harm us by any means, even serpents and scorpions (Luke 10:19). All authority has been given to us, and we have won. Do not be deceived by familiar spirits, they are just disobedient spirits. Victory has been given to us by Jesus.
