FOR EXOTIC DANCERS LOOKING TO CHRIST

“Be very careful never to make a treaty with the people who love in the land where you are going. If you do, you will follow their evil ways and be trapped. Instead, you must break down their pagan altars, smash their sacred pillars, and cut down their Asherah poles.” (Exodus 34:12-13).

In the biblical verse quoted above, YHVH gives a warning and strict instructions to the Israelites. So what exactly is an Asherah pole (referred to as a grove in some bible versions)? It was a tree or a pole where worshippers of Asherah (otherwise known as Asheroth, Astarte, Venus, Semiramis, Isis, and the Queen Of Heaven) gathered around to perform fertility rituals in the belief that these sexual encounters would appease their goddess and the land would produce crops that season. So it comes as no surprise to me that today exotic dancers are expected to pole dance in order to appease their audience and be rewarded money in exchange. There is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

I am in no way passing judgement on the women who work in this profession. Man judges by appearance but the Lord looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). They are human beings just like the rest of us. As a matter of fact, I follow the vlog of a stripper who is transitioning out of that work environment and using her hard earned money to make a better life for herself, so kudos to that young lady. [8/2/19 Edit: that vlog has since been shelved] Today, the day I published this post, is January 9, 2019. I wrote the outline for this post in October of 2018, after the Lord revealed to me in a dream that this young lady would be saved and her future ministry will be dedicated to exotic dancers looking to get out. I pray that every woman reading who is in this industry or has been in it is blessed by this post, and is ministered to by the prayer the Holy Spirit had me pen for you.

Some more biblical history on pole dancing: the Israelites are told repeatedly not only to destroy the Asherah poles already in the land but also warned not to erect any new ones themselves (Deuteronomy 7:5, 12:3, 16:21). Despite all the commands and warnings, they did indeed practice this pagan worship, at one point in the holy temple itself (Judges 3:7, 2 Kings 21:3,7). Time and time again YHVH raised up holy men of valor who fought against the debauchery, even if it meant going against their own family (Judges 6:25-27) as well as kings who fought to turn the heart of the people back to the one true God (2 Kings 23:6). Ba’al worship went hand in hand with Asherah worship, including temple prostitutes, bestiality and eating foods dedicated to these demons. I once heard a seasoned pastor and bible scholar teach that when Christ was speaking to His disciples in Matthew 16:13-20 they were in fact overlooking the ruins of an ancient grove, or Asherah pole. I believe verse 18 was spoken in a spiritual sense.

What is seen in a strip club? The lights are dimmed, patrons sit and drink alcohol as they watch the dancers perform their routines, some offering them money in exchange for a private dance. What is hidden? Drug use and prostitution. These same behaviors today mirror those of the pagans and wayward Israelites in the bible. If one were to see with spiritual eyes the atmosphere in these clubs one would find spirits of lust, alcohol, tobacco, debauchery, sexual immorality, pride, greed, amd whatever else both the patron and the dancer brings into it: spirits of rejection, self loathing, self harm (again, reminiscent of the priests of Ba’al in 1 Kings 18:26 and 28), perversion, pharmakeia (drug addiction as well as witchcraft), homosexuality and lesbianism, and only God knows what else. You can’t tell me that spiritual environment isn’t demonic and that no matter how “clean” the dancers keep themselves they are slowly sucked in. It is not a healthy place for your spirit. I understand that everyone has a reason for choosing to be there; I can only pray you make the decision to come out of there unscathed.

Warfare Prayer:
Father, I come boldly before Your throne and beg for Your forgiveness. Your Word says a beautiful woman lacking discretion is like a gold ring in a pig’s nose (Proverbs 11:22). Father I desperately desire to be a vessel of honor and no longer a vessel of dishonor (2 Timothy 2:20). I accept and understand that Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ became flesh and died on the cross at Calvary, nailing all my sin to the cross. He rose again and is now seated at Your right hand, daily interceding for me (Romans 8:34, Hebrews 7:25) so that my eyes may be opened and I accept everlasting life. Lord, my eyes have been opened. Wash me clean with Your precious blood (see the post The Blood Has Purchasing Power), purge me, dress me in a clean robe and sanctify me. I am now a new creation in Christ; old things have passed away and all things are new (2 Corinthians 5:17-19, Revelation 21:5). Father I thank You that You are the God of second chances. Lord Jesus, thank You for covering me, restoring me and bringing my heart back to the Father (Malichi 4:6). I am not the same woman I was when I came before you. I am now blood washed, saved and sanctified. May the pact this bloodline has made with You never be broken. Thank You, Lord, that Your mercies are fresh every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). In the precious name of Jesus Christ I pray, amen.

Congratulations and welcome to the family! Please, get yourself a bible and study His Word. I myself read the King James version and the NASB. Before you do anything else, please follow the steps outlined in Self Deliverance. Fasting does wonders for your faith, as well. Please see my posts on Fasting and Anointing Oil to get an idea on how to sanctify your home. When you get up in the morning make sure to put on the Full Armor of God. And lastly, let the Holy Spirit guide you, always. I pray this blesses you.

THE AHAB SPIRIT

Ahab is first mentioned in the bible as a wicked king who was more wicked than all of his predecessors (1 Kings 16:30) and did more to provoke YHVH than any other king before him (verse 33). He married the Phoenician Jezebel and immediately led Israel to worship her gods (verses 31 through 33). I’ve done a post on The Jezebel Spirit already; feel free to read more about it’s biblical history. These two spirits are intertwined.

So who is Ahab? He is the “hen pecked” husband of the domineering banshee he has for a wife. I’m sure you’ve seen these emasculated men. My own grandfather and uncle were Ahabs; my grandmother ruled our household with an iron fist. Ahab and Jezebel go against the godly order of family, and in this marriage the woman is the head. Ahab is the sulking toddler who pouts when he doesn’t get his way (1 Kings 21:1-6, 1 Kings 22:7-8). He is often seen as Jezebel’s victim but in many ways he is just as conniving and manipulative as his wife. He throws a tantrum fully aware that Mommy will give him what he wants (1 Kings 21:7-16). An Ahab will quietly complain to his Jezebelan wife about a quarrel he is having with someone and will stand by smiling as she rips into the other person, who is too taken aback from the verbal attack to even defend himself. This is a couple whose familiar spirits found each other, creating an incredibly toxic bond. Wherever Ahab and Jezebel go, expect chaos and destruction.

Ahab reports everything to Jezebel (1 Kings 19:1). Psychologists will refer to an Ahab as the son-husband of the Jezebel, a narcissist and oftentimes borderline personality. An Ahab is emotionally (and spiritually) a child who needs his mommy. Of course, this is completely unnatural and demonic in spirit, so an Ahab will suffer through bouts of depression and have an inferiority complex, since he’s completely emasculated. It isn’t the least bit surprising that these men become addicted to pornography and/or become serial adulterers. They are desperately trying to recover their masculinity. In some cases, a boy raised and emasculated by his Jezebelan mother will unwittingly open the door to spirits of homosexuality and perversion. Many also become drug addicts and alcoholics (spirit of pharmakeia tied to witchcraft), looking to numb the pain and the shame of being on his wife’s leash. This couple teaches their children an ungodly order of marriage, practically ensuring that history repeats itself. These spirits then become generational curses that travel in the bloodline, visiting every generation.

I have to wonder if Solomon was also an Ahab, seeing how he repeatedly referred to this type of woman (Proverbs 19:13, 21:9, 21:19, 25:24, 27:15). Keep in mind King Solomon ruled almost sixty years earlier; again, Jezebel is a spirit that was named after the wicked queen, but has been around since the garden of Eden (fully explained in my post, The Jezebel Spirit). I almost feel sorry for Ahabs, if it weren’t for the fact that they are just as poisonous as their wives. These men are sneaky and can be as cold and calculating as a Jezebel; they simply hide it better. Because Jezebel is such a complex spirit who lures, then cages her prey and keeps him bound in fear through witchcraft, most Ahabs may be fully aware of their wives’ desperate need for deliverance but are simply too afraid to confront them. In turn, the wife does not respect her husband for being so weak and treats him with contempt. It’s a vicious circle.

Ahab son husbands to their mothers will bring this dynamic into their marriage. He may not have married a Jezebel but allows his Jezebelan mother to interfere in his marriage. No woman will ever be good enough for her son husband; that’s because she believes he belongs to her and he has no right to marry. These men are their mothers’ eunuchs. The poor wife will have to decide if she wants to suffer the rest of her life with this overbearing, even abusive mother in law or if she must break the marriage covenant against her will. Again, these men are completely emasculated. It takes a lot of courage and untapped strength to face the Jezebel’s rage when you put her in her place. But if you want to put your house in order, it must be done.

Please spend some time in prayer and fasting. You will be going to war with an incredibly powerful and destructive spirit. While you may seek deliverance for yourself, please pray for your wife. She needs to be delivered, as well, but it must be her choice to make. As her husband freed from the Ahab spirit and taking his rightful place in his marriage the only thing you can do for your wife is intercede for her. Lord willing, her spiritual eyes will open and she will seek deliverance. In the meantime, get delivered and retake your God given authority in your home. Anoint your home and anoint yourself before praying for deliverance. Pray daily for your wife and make daily declarations of a breakthrough in your marriage. It may not happen overnight, but remember always that you can do all things through Christ and that with God all things are possible. I pray this blesses you.

WARFARE PRAYER:
Father I come humbly before Your throne of grace and ask for Your forgiveness. I did not take my role as high priest of my home (Ephesians 5:23, 1 Timothy 2:12-13, 1 Peter 2:5, Revelation 1:6, Revelation 20:6) seriously and have allowed an unholy spirit to dwell in place of Your Holy Spirit. I fully acknowledge my part in allowing Jezebel to rule over my wife and I am truly repentant for not protecting her, thus giving the devil a foothold into our marriage. Lord we made a covenant before You and have both broken it. As the husband, I take full responsibility and dutifully cover my wife. Father have mercy over us both. Right now I take my place as the head of my marriage and my home. I cover our home with the blood of Christ and order every demonic spirit to leave!

Leviathan, I cut off your head and tail and burn them in Holy Spirit fire. I jab a spear dipped in the blood of Christ into every scale and burn your body in Holy Spirit fire. I bind Jezebel and cast her out of her ivory tower.

Now I cast out Ahab, depression, perversion, adultery, fornication, every lewd, effeminate and unclean spirit, lust, spirit wife, son husband, homosexuality, misogyny, fear, wickedness, rejection, rage, arrested development, witchcraft and pharmakeia. (Now name any other spirit that the Holy Spirit reveals to you.) From this moment forward I take my rightful place as the leader in my marriage and in my home; you are no longer welcome in either. Leave now!

Holy Spirit, I ask You to rule over my home. Father, assign guardian angels 24/7 at my door and in my home. Lord Jesus, please intercede to the Father for my wife as I will intercede for her daily, as well. Restore my marriage; You make all things new. I thank You for Your mercy and grace. May the pact this bloodline has made with You today never be broken. I seal this prayer with the precious blood of the Lamb and give thanks and praise to You. Amen.

THE BLOOD HAS PURCHASING POWER

The blood of Christ redeems (Zechariah 9:11, 11:12-13, Matthew 27:9-10, which refers to Jeremiah 32:7-9, Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:14). In chronos, Jesus died on the cross a little over 2,000 years ago. In kairos, however, He was the sacrificial Lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8). So long before you were born, Christ made the conscious decision to be brutalized, scorned, mocked and killed in order to redeem you from sin and sin’s wages, death (Romans 6:23). He bought you with the purchasing power of His blood.
This means that any blood covenant made between you and a gang, a coven or anyone can be broken and that spiritual contract deemed null and void once you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. His precious blood covers, redeems and purchases your freedom. If you have made a contract with any of these groups or an individual, once you accept Christ in your heart and declare it with your mouth (please see my Self Deliverance post) then you can simply say the following prayer aloud:
Lord Jesus, thank You for freeing me from that bondage. I now declare my past affiliation(s) erased both in the spirit and in the natural. I render any and all contracts null and void. The blood of Jesus has paid for my freedom; it is the escape clause in every contract. I am no longer bound to (state the name of the gang, coven, group or individual). I have been set free by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May the pact this bloodline has now made with You never be broken. I declare this in complete assurance in the powerful name of Jesus of Nazareth. Amen.

Please, seek the Lord while He may still be found (Isaiah 55:6). I pray this blesses you.

SELF DELIVERANCE

A simple yet complete step by step guide to remove generational curses, soul ties and strongholds. Please be completely honest with yourself and with YHWH. This post is specifically for born again Christians; I don’t suggest you complete these steps if you have not surrendered your life to Christ. Make sure you are born again and are committed to living a sanctified life set apart and dedicated to Him. Looking for quick relief from torment only to go back to the very addiction, persons or places to which you were in bondage is extremely dangerous. Christ Himself warns that when a demon leaves, he will immediately look to return to what he considers his home, bringing seven more demons with him (Luke 11:26).

Deliverance is not a game, nor is it to be taken lightly. Over and over, we see in the bible that YHWH is a God of covenants (yes, even in the New Testament!): enter into covenant with Him today. Make the commitment to start a brand new life, denouncing whatever it was that had you bound.

How do you become born again? “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9). Once you have made this confession of faith, ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5 and 8, Acts 2:38, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Romans 6:1-4). Pray for the Lord to place you in a full gospel church that preaches repentance. Although it isn’t necessary for salvation I do suggest getting water baptized in your church.

Reading the Word is vitally important. Science in many aspects is right in line with Scripture: nature abhors a vacuum. As you are about to purge spiritually, it is vital that you fill that vacuum with the Holy Spirit. It takes seventy-two hours to read the bible cover to cover. Even if you only read for one hour a day, you will complete it in ten weeks. I also strongly suggest going on a week-long fast to prepare yourself for deliverance. So you understand exactly what you will be facing as you ask the Lord to deliver you, let me explain demonic spirits, soul ties and strongholds as simply as possible.

Soul tie: we get this term from 1 Sam 18:1, which states that the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together. Not every soul tie is demonic or toxic; most people have (or should have) healthy soul ties to their loved ones.

Strongman: demons understand rank and authority. They have the strongman (Matthew 12:29) and its familiar spirits. A good illustration is the skull and the spine attached to it. The skull is the strongman and each familiar spirit is a disc in the attached spine.

Stronghold: there are many verses in the Old Testament that speak of strongholds whenever the Israelites went into battle with an enemy and attacked their cities. Most notable is the battle of Jericho (Joshua 5:13-20). It was the Israelites’ obedience and praise that won them the victory. A stronghold can be a behavior or an addiction. Not only do you need to be delivered from it, you must retrain your thought patterns and discipline yourself to not fall back into it. This means making some serious life adjustments.

It is important to identify and bind the strongman first in order to cast out its familiar spirits. In some cases, serious strongholds and generational curses may take a stronger anointing; if you sense that seven days won’t be long enough, continue for another two weeks and complete a twenty-one day fast. It will be a whole lot easier on your body and spirit. If you are married or engaged, please have your spouse/fiance do this with you. Make every effort to enter into the covenant of marriage free from bondage. I pray this blesses you. Remember, Christ came to set the captives free!

First and foremost, anoint yourself. Grab a pen and paper and write down the names of all past lovers. Then, write the names any family members, friends (both past and current) and even co-workers with whom you have toxic relationships or with whom you just don’t get along. As you begin the process you may feel nauseous or actually vomit-don’t be frightened. This is perfectly natural and is even alluded to in Leviticus 18:25: “And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.” You may want to have a wastepaper basket or tissue handy.

Say the following out loud: I break any and all soul ties with (say the names of the men and women with whom you have had sexual encounters of any kind). I send the piece of their souls back to each one, I take back the pieces of my soul that were left with them and I remove the residual DNA left in my body and theirs. I break any vow or covenant made with (name them one by one) and release them, as I also release myself. Father forgive me for any sexual deviancy, abominable acts, perversion and relations committed outside of the marriage bed. (This includes homosexuality/lesbianism, incest, bestiality and use of objects or sex toys. Do not be ashamed, simply repent.) I seal those doors behind me with the blood of Christ.

Now go through the rest of your list: Father, I sever all unhealthy soul ties with (name each person). I am sorry for harboring resentment towards them and release them as I release myself from bondage. Lord please teach me to develop healthy relationships with (whomever you wish to keep in your life, as long as they are not a danger to you or your christian walk). I forgive them for any wrongdoing. I also forgive myself and am heartily sorry for any wrong I have done to them. That is all now covered under the Blood.

This may sound odd, but we can indeed have soul ties with the dead. If you have suffered abuse and/or harbor bitterness and resentment towards the person who hurt you and who is now dead, you must make the conscious decision to forgive them and sever that tie. Think about it: you are dragging around a corpse in the spirit. Release them.

Now let us cover generational curses. This is vital! Someone needs to end the toxic cycles that plague your family, generation after generation. Think of any specific issue that seems to repeat itself in your family: that’s a generational curse. And to be crystal clear: even if it doesn’t affect you, it just might come after your children and their descendants. Don’t adopt the attitude of King Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:16-19). Please be the one in your family who is brave enough to face those demons and slay them.

Suggested Prayer:
“Father I come before Your throne of grace and humbly set before You my family. I ask You to break off of me any generational curses brought upon me by the sins committed by ancestors from both my mother and father’s bloodlines. I declare any and all generational curses covered under the blood. Neither I nor my descendants shall suffer the penalty of my ancestors’ sins. I break any demonic covenants and altars erected by any of my ancestors from either side of my family, including masonry and witchcraft.” Now ask the Holy Spirit to reveal every familiar spirit attached to each generational demon and renounce them one by one. Be as methodical and thorough as possible. If you reach a point in which you sense something surface but cannot identify it, simply say, “whatever stubborn spirit hiding must leave me right now in Jesus precious name!” Use godly wisdom and discernment. For instance, if you find yourself on the floor denounce every spirit holding you bound on the floor. Say aloud, “I renounce every evil, demonic inheritance and replace them with a godly inheritance to my bloodline, both in spirit and in the natural as stated in Proverbs 13:22.” Every generational curse is now covered under the Blood.

“Lastly, I renounce (any current strongholds-cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, fornication, overeating, etc.) and cast out each familiar spirit attached to them. I seal every last open door with the precious blood of the Lamb. Father, I take my cue from Genesis 3:14 and assign guardian angels to stand guard at my eye, mouth and eargates. Do not let me reopen those doors, ever. May the pact this bloodline has now made with You never be broken. Lord, take this newly cleaned vessel and make it a vessel of honor filled with the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 2:20-21). In Jesus’ mighty name I pray. Amen.”

Once you feel at peace you will know your deliverance is complete, or as much as the Lord will allow in His perfect timing. The key is truly wanting to be set free. All the Lord wants is a willing vessel. He will take care of the rest. As time progresses the Holy Spirit will continue to reveal other spirits that you need to be delivered from. Your Heavenly Father is merciful and gracious and will not burden you with more than you can bear. He will reveal them a bit at a time, so that you are not overwhelmed (Deuteronomy 7:22). Obey the Holy Spirit and renounce the bondage to each spirit immediately.

It doesn’t have to be a long, drawn out process. As you mature in your faith it becomes easier. Continue to fast and pray, read your Word daily and live a holy life. Do not wander from the shadow of YHWH’s wing (Psalm 91). Keep pressing in. “And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.”-Jeremiah 29:13

THE CURSE OF THE BASTARD

A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord (Deutoronomy 23:2).

Before anyone gets offended-my younger child was born out of wedlock, so this applied to him, as well. I had scoped about this in the past and a viewer not only received deliverance but was able to move forward from the guilt and shame of being a child born out of wedlock (more specifically a product of adultery). I myself had this generational curse in my bloodline; my mother was born out of wedlock, her mother had been born out of wedlock, and though I don’t know my family history any further back it wouldn’t surprise me that this pattern has repeated itself for decades. It comes as no surprise to me that history repeated itself with my own child. And I had been married when my older son had been born!

I believe in transparency, so for anyone not familiar with my story: I come from a long line of Jezebels and I myself was a full blown Jezebel for years (please see The Jezebel Spirit) As a result, I married and divorced not one, but two Ahabs (please refer to The Ahab Spirit). I became pregnant with my second child while still being legally married to my second husband, so my son was not only born with the curse of the bastard but also in adultery. Needless to say, I was in a backslidden state at the time. Through YHVH’s infinite mercy I repented and am back in the fold, having been refined through the fire of affliction and delivered from a lifetime of bondage. My mission now is to educate and equip the saints on generational curses and how to be delivered.

The curse of the bastard is pretty self explanatory. Any child born out of wedlock will be under this curse. Many will say, “But we are no longer under the law and Christ removed all those curses when He died on the cross and rose again!” I wish that were true and all the misinformed saints (which I myself was) were correct, but from personal experience and the stories that others have shared with me I can assure you that this is simply not the case. Sin is costly and devastating; it must be addressed. Generational curses are real and all throughout the bible we see the same behavior patterns repeating in families. The same applies to our families today. How many of us have generations of alcoholics, drug addicts, adulterers and the like? On the flip side, there are also families with generations of spirit filled christians who serve the Lord. You cannot tell me that generational curses are not real. Please read through Deuteronomy 28 and prayerfully reconsider.

As far back as my great grandmother there has been the spirit of Jezebel and the curse of the bastard at work in my family. I’m sure it goes back even further, but this is the last ancestor I have been able to trace to my family tree. It was sickening and saddening to see just how rotten those roots were, but I also take great comfort in knowing that with my own deliverance I am doing everything in my power to keep future generations from entering into bondage. You may be knee deep in the mire, but Christ came to set the captive free. There is hope for you and your descendants today. I have also written out a Spoken Blessing Over Children.

This is not to judge anyone or to point the finger: if I am pointing my finger it is to send you in the right direction. Take some time to minister to yourself. Read my post Self Deliverance. Write out those lists and say the prayers out loud. Seal those doors with the blood of Jesus. If you or your child(ren) was born out of wedlock, you must repent and break that curse over yourself and your descendants. You must also forgive yourself and your parents. To know better is to do better.

The spirits of rejection and abandonment are attached to this particular curse, as are lust, sexual immorality and whoredoms; these are its familiar spirits. Spend some time in prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any other; I guarantee there are more. Write down whatever comes to mind and include it in the prayer written out below.

Warfare Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come boldly before Your throne of grace and humbly repent of my sin (or my parents’ sin). Right now I break the curse of the bastard over myself and the ten generations after me who would have been affected. I also break rejection and abandonment over myself and order the spirits of (name each one by one) to leave in the mighty name of Jesus of Nazareth. I seal those doors behind me with the blood of Christ and I thank You for Your perfect sacrifice that makes my freedom possible.

I am no longer bound by Satan nor will I believe his lies. I have been set free and will not return to Egypt (Exodus 12:40). Father, grant me the wisdom, courage and strength to live a life of holiness that is pleasing to you. Hide me in the shadow of Your wing (Psalm 91:4). I thank You for Your tender mercies towards me. Holy Spirit, transform me. Let today be the day I walk in complete freedom. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

I am no longer bound by Satan nor will I believe his lies. I have been set free and will not return to Egypt (Exodus 12:40). Father, grant me the wisdom, courage and strength to live a life of holiness that is pleasing to you. Hide me in the shadow of Your wing (Psalm 91:4). I thank You for Your tender mercies towards me. Holy Spirit, transform me. Let today be the day I walk in complete freedom. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

THE TERROR BY NIGHT (SLEEP PARALYSIS)

The most common scenario: you will awaken out of your sleep only to find yourself  completely paralyzed, unable to move or even speak. Sometimes you awaken and sense or may even see a figure sitting on your bed. I have heard from many people  who suffered  through this demonic attack. When they seek help they generally receive the same responses: it is indigestion, it was just a nightmare, stop watching scary movies, etc. I myself suffered for years without understanding what was happening or why and feeling utterly helpless. In one instance I vividly recall a hooded figure standing over me, staring at me over my head. Its head looked like a skull with razor sharp teeth. I was frozen, unable to speak or move. It was only for a few seconds but was absolutely terrifying.

In my case, it was caused by the soul ties I had with my grandmother. By all accounts she was a devout catholic who loved the Lord, but was also a Jezebel (please see The Jezebel Spirit. I don’t know if she was at all conscious of her demonic behavior, more than likely she was not. That spirit had been in my bloodline for generations, and only by the grace of God have I been set free. Any occult practice can open the door to the Terror By Night (Psalm 91:5) to harass you. You can refer to the post Subtle And Overt Witchcraft to see if you have inadvertently opened any doors to the occult. Parents: this demon is also associated with SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Anoint your newborn and his crib. I offer a Spoken Blessing Over Children ideally to be prayed for your newborn but it can be for children of any age. Pray over your baby nightly (you can use the Morning Prayer For Children and Bedtime Prayer For Children.

If after reading it you are sure to never have done anything yourself, it may be that a witch has targeted you. I suggest you go on a three day fast and ask the Lord to reveal to you if this is indeed the problem. He may confirm it through a dream, or will send someone to tell you. If you discover that it is a witch, immediately throw out any item she/he has given you. I have had to remove many items from my home that were given to me by relatives whom I love but are dragging spiritual chains behind them. Those items are points of contact for a witch and bring demonic oppression into your home.

This brings me to another point: that figure that attacks you at night may very well be a human spirit. What do I mean? I mean that through a point of contact a witch can astral project and appear in your home. That is why it is imperative that you do a clean sweep of your living space and immediately toss out anything a witch (or anyone you know is into the occult, for that matter) has given you. I suggest anointing your home and praying, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal any objects that need to be removed.

Be very careful with whom you eat; witches will keep your utensils in order to do witchcraft on you (your saliva is all they need). Never leave your hairbrush within reach of anyone; your hair can be a perfect point of contact. Any article of clothing can also be used. Protect your safe haven and your family: be careful who you let into your home. Anoint your home and do a clean sweep regularly.

Before turning in, anoint yourself and read Psalms 4, 18 and 91 aloud. Ask for the wall of fire to surround you (Zechariah 2:5). Anoint your bed and assign warring angels around your bed to protect you as you sleep. Loose shalom peace over your bed and declare that you will have sweet sleep and peaceful dreams. Do this every night until the attacks subside. Make it a practice to pray every night before going to sleep.

Warfare Prayer:

Father, I come boldly before Your throne of grace and beg for relief from this demon that is harassing me. Forgive me, Lord, for having opened any doors to the occult in ignorance. I seal any open portal with the blood of Christ. Lord, send warring angels right now to battle the Terror By Night. I bind you, demon. I cage you and pour Holy Spirit fire over you. I sever all soul ties with any witch that has sent you to attack me. I burn with Holy Spirit fire any object that is a point of contact for you. I am covered by the precious blood of Christ. You have no legal rights over me. I order you to leave me alone and to never return to interrupt my sleep. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray, amen.

THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT


The name Jezebel can mean “without cohabitation” as well as “chaste”, which is actually the picture a Jezebelan woman will try to paint for you. A woman with the Jezebel spirit refuses to submit to godly authority. She is rebellious, domineering, controlling, cold and calculating. However, Jezebel hides behind a mask; only those closest to her see the monster behind the smiling face. A Jezebel has earned her PhD in manipulation; she is a con artist and Oscar worthy actress. Her carefully contrived public image fools many. Men can also be oppressed by this spirit (study King Saul’s story in 1 Samuel chapters 10 through 31) but it generally prefers to use women.
The psychological terms narcissist (including all personality types), borderline personality and even sociopath accurately describe a Jezebel. Her histrionics, ridiculous made up stories, violent temper and inability to ever admit when she is wrong (even when she’s faced with proof or caught red handed) is very typically Jezebel. People with this spirit have an obsessive need to control everyone and everything around them; hoarding, compulsive shopping and other obsessive compulsive disorders are quite common in Jezebels. It is important to remember, this is the spirit controlling and using the person affected. My grandmother was a devout Catholic but she was also Jezebel.
A woman with the Jezebel spirit completely emasculates her husband and sons and abuses her daughters out of jealousy, without even realizing on a conscious level that she is doing it. There are, however, witches who are well within their full faculties and know exactly what they are doing. Some pretend to be very spiritual people but are just looking for victims. Please pray for discernment.
It derives its name from the evil queen written about in 1 Kings 16:31 through 2 Kings 9. Archaeologists have discovered the ivory tower thought to be Jezebel’s, along with a jar of fetuses with the inscription “These keep me young.” Her daughter proves to be just as vicious at her introduction (2 Kings 11:1.) There is also an example in the New Testament of a woman with the Jezebel spirit: Queen Herodias, who had John the Baptist jailed and executed (Mark 6:17-28.) This spirit is not solely identifiable through royalty, however. Eve was the first Jezebel when she defied YHVH’s command and convinced her husband to do the same (Genesis 3:6). Sarah forced her husband, Abraham to give her a child through her handmaid only to later insist he leave the child and his mother to fend for themselves in Genesis 16:4-21:14. Rebecca exhibited Jezebelan behavior in Genesis 27:5-10. Her daughter-in-law, Rachel also reflects the cunning and manipulative ways of a Jezebel in Genesis 31:19-35. And the rebellious women who defied YHVH’s orders (yet again) in Jeremiah 44:15-19 also perfectly demonstrate this spirit.
The Leviathan spirit (pride) is one of its strongholds and must be addressed first. This is precisely why it is so difficult for its victim to be set free: pride and vanity get in the way and try to block deliverance. The spirit of Legion is the other stronghold that must be addressed. Legion causes many deep rooted issues from the abusive childhood that the victim of a Jezebelan parent endures.
There are curses placed over us as children by our Jezebelan parents. Remember, the spirit is extremely jealous of any other woman and will cause the mother to be jealous of her own daughter. Looking back and knowing what I know now, there is no doubt in my mind that my grandmother cursed my womb (which had been revealed by another prophet to me) and that my mother cursed me with acne, so that I would always live in the shadow of her beauty. You can release yourself from any of Jezebel’s curses as well as bind them so that they are never passed on to your descendants by simply praying those curses to be sealed prophetically (before it’s appointed time) at your death by praying A Prayer For The Dying.
Obsessive compulsive behavior as a form of control develops in the child. Jezebel’s victims suffer from low self esteem and depression. He or she also develops a strong fantasy life and retreats from reality as a defense mechanism. All of this behavior is carried into adulthood, and the victim most often develops body image issues and may battle anorexia or bulimia. They may also suffer from bouts of insomnia, another control issue. C-PTSD is very common due to the narcissistic abuse. Take heart: deliverance is possible for all of this.
Jezebel’s familiar spirits are rejection, abandonment, paranoia stemming from rejection, schizophrenia (wearing a mask in public and being someone else in private), whoredoms, murderous rage, abortion (remember the jar found that I mentioned above?) and death. Witchcraft is often used to control her victim/protege. She also keeps her victim in bondage to the spirit of fear. Victims may develop a fascination with the occult: these are the spirits of death and witchcraft at work. This all must be addressed and cast out, and toxic soul ties to the Jezebel must be severed.

The Lord gave me three very interesting revelations of the Jezebel spirit. The first was the vision of an octopus. It’s tentacles not only squeeze the life out of you but also keep family members in constant strife through lies and manipulation. It is important to not take a Jezebel’s word as true and keep open communication with the very people she tries to keep you from contacting. Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth (Proverbs 26:20). The second was a vision of Semiramis and Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14). The famous Queen of Heaven (see the verse from Jeremiah mentioned above) and her son are often depicted as the “Holy Mother and Son” worshipped in the Catholic church. Jezebelan mothers will have a twisted relationship with their sons, oftentimes turning them into son husbands who then cannot have a healthy relationship with his wife. Please see The Ahab Spirit for further clarification. Lastly, He revealed that Jezebel works with Molech, the sexual predator and devourer of the youth. A Jezebel gets a sick thrill by terrorizing her children: it feeds her need for power and control. Molech also feeds off these children’s fear. It’s absolutely horrifying and disgusting.

Jezebel can enter through trauma such as rape and molestation, but more often than not it is in the bloodline. When you see a family with a long history of controlling, manipulative women it is quite obvious this generational curse has a hold on that bloodline. When Jezebel enters through sexual trauma, the victims of molestation and rape grow to hate men in general: this is Jezebel at work. And it is just setting up the victim’s future generations.

Freedom is possible. I come from a long line of Jezebels and suffered at the hands of a Jezebelan (covert narcissist) grandmother and a Jezebelan (malignant narcissist/borderline) mother. I myself have been a full blown Jezebel who married not one, but two Ahabs. Yet I have been completely set free. Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17). I strongly recommend completing a twenty one day fast and following the step by step instructions to sever soul ties and break generational curses, found in the Self Deliverance post.

Warfare Prayer:
Father, I thank you for opening my eyes to what has been blinding me. I wish to free myself from this destructive spirit that has caused me and my loved ones so much pain and suffering. Right now I come against the strongman, Leviathan. Unwrap yourself from around the base of my spine and stomach. I scale you and cut off your head and tail. The sword of the Spirit cuts you into pieces. I burn your head and body in Holy Spirit fire which utterly consumes you.
Next I call you out, Legion. You will no longer compel me to lash out at myself or convince me I am less than a beautiful child of God that was fearfully and wonderfully created (Psalm 139:14). I put an end to my fantasy life, casting down vain imaginations and taking all thoughts captive to Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).

Now I bind Jezebel. I pry you out of your hiding place (generally the woman’s ovaries and reproductive organ). I cast you out in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. I tear apart every demonic altar and grove (Deuteronomy 16:21, 1 Kings 16:31-32, 1 Kings 18:19). I bind and cast out the temple prostitutes and loosen purity, grace, love and humility over myself.

Father, I bind and cast out the multiple spirits of witchcraft placed in me at conception. I renounce and sever every tie to any demon I had ever been dedicated to. I remove any and every demonic item fed to me as a child (witches will put crushed glass, hair, nail clippings; I’ve even heard of one use her newborn’s dried umbilical cord that fell off her navel) from my body; Lord, dissolve it in the natural and burn it in the spirit with the fire of the Holy Ghost. I cast out all familiar spirits of (name them one by one as listed above, plus any that the Holy Spirit brings to light).

Lastly, I break every toxic soul tie to every Jezebel that has ever been connected to me in the past and who has been until this very moment. I am free from every last one; they no longer have any legal rights to me nor can they control me anymore. Holy Spirit, do a clean sweep in me. Set me completely free and make me whole. May the pact this bloodline has now made with You never be broken. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I declare it to be so. Amen.

THE PYTHON SPIRIT

The Python spirit is identified in Acts 16:16 as the spirit of divination (the original Greek refers to it as python). The Python looks to crush your spirit. It’s familiar spirit, Death, looks to take your life. Python works with the spirit of pharmakeia: drug abuse, witchcraft and sorcery will activate it. So does yoga: what the yogis refer to as Kundalini is indeed Python. Every yoga pose is an act of worship to Hindu gods. The yogi will tell you that you are “activating your chakras” but in reality you are opening yourself up to demonic torment. Stay away from eastern transcendental meditation, acupuncture, and the like. These all have an Anti Christ spirit attached to them. If you check your horoscope, have visited a fortune teller or bought a ouija board or a deck of tarot cards “just for fun” you’ve not only invited the Python spirit but also its attached (familiar) demons to vex you.

This demonic attack is usually summoned by a witch or a warlock, whether to control you or simply because you offended them in some way (they have very fragile egos, so it probably wasn’t something you did on purpose). A family history of witchcraft and in many cases of Jezebel (please see The Jezebel Spirit) which brings people into a fascination with the occult, could also be source. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the source of your involvement. We are called to be a peculiar people set apart to Christ. You must repent of all these demonic activities immediately. Please refer to the post Subtle And Overt Witchcraft.

Warfare Prayer:

Father I come before Your throne of mercy and grace and beg for forgiveness. I repent of opening any door to the spirit of Python. I sever all soul ties with any witches that I inadvertently bound myself to and who are now sending this demon to attack me. Python, I scale you, cut off your head and tail. The sword of the Spirit cuts you into pieces. I burn your head and body in Holy Spirit fire which utterly consumes you. I bind and cast out the spirits of death, pharmakeia and all familiar spirits which have attached themselves to me. You are all rendered powerless. I am covered by the blood of Jesus; you have no legal rights to me anymore. Leave me, never to return. I declare this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, amen.

THE INCUBUS SPIRIT

While in the western culture we are familiar with a baby Cupid who has wings, a bow and arrow, his original form is nothing like this. In Greek mythology, Cupid, a god, falls for a human woman (Satan, ever the copycat, fooled the ancient Greeks into reenacting Genesis 6:2). He is a mysterious lover who visits his “wife” in the cover of night, forbidding her to see his appearance.
In the demonic realm, this spirit is called Incubus. It attacks women at night as they sleep. Note that it disguises itself as Succubus, the demon that attacks men, but in reality they are one in the same. I believe them to be the fallen angels in the verse mentioned above. Those angels mated with women and impregnated them; I believe this was the reference to the warning by the Apsotle Paul to women (1 Cor 11:10).

The Incubus spirit is acknowledged throughout different cultures worldwide. It actually has sexual relations with its victim. This is commonly known as wet dreams and is welcomed by the victim in some cases. In others, the victim wakes during the attack and is understandably horrified. Some are widowed and believe it is their dead spouse providing comfort. Please understand, it is not the spirit of your dead spouse-it is a demon. Over time, it will call itself your spirit husband or wife, and if you are married it will do its best to separate you from your spouse.

Most victims do not seek help because of the shame and the inability of most psychologists and even pastors to deal with this phenomenon. They keep it to themselves and just hope it doesn’t happen again. Some may actually derive pleasure and are ashamed to admit it so they keep it a secret.

Unfortunately for some of this demon’s victims it will eventually start attacking during the day. You can be at work and this demon will force itself on you. It also turns very violent over time. This is not something you can ignore and just hope it goes away. It needs to be dealt with and you need deliverance.

Be aware: adultery and sexual sin (incuding masturbation) open doors to the Incubus spirit. Lust, perversion and whoredoms are this demon’s familiar spirits. Masturbation can also open doors to homosexual and lesbian spirits: you are touching your manhood/womanhood. If you have been a victim of rape or molestation the Incubus spirit will likely attach itself to you. Parents, understand: the spirit of Rape, Molestation and Incubus will attach themselves to your lineage if you do not seal the doors opened by your victimization. What I am saying is that you must seal those portals so that your children do not suffer the same tragedy.

In some cases you may never have opened a door to this demon but it may simply be in your bloodline (please refer to The Jezebel Spirit). I’ve had encounters myself with this demon as a former Jezebel with a family history of Jezebels. The Jezebel spirit is complex and multi-faceted; perversion is but one of its familiar spirits. If you believe this is a generational curse (if you have heard from relatives that attacks at night have “always happened in the family”), if there is a history of child molestation and/or rape in your family or if you have been a victim of rape or molestation, read my post Self Deliverance after doing as instructed below.

Lastly, it may not necessarily be a demonic spirit but instead be the human spirit of a high level witch or warlock. I recall a sister in the faith sharing how controlling her pastor was. As we were speaking I discerned that this pastor would visit her at night. The young lady confirmed that she would see her pastor standing at the foot of her bed and would also have erotic dreams with this same person. Mind you, this was a married female pastor. After asking her a few detailed questions we found the entry point and sealed that door shut. It is vital to ask the Holy Spirit to confirm whether it’s an incubus/succubus spirit or a human spirit.

Nothing is impossible for those who believe (Mark 9:23). Pray, asking the Holy Spirit to free you. Living a set apart life of holiness is key; let go anyone and everyone that cannot respect the boundaries you will put in place to be set free and remain free from bondage. No more rated R movies or porn, no more romance novels, no more drinking and clubbing, no more flirting with the opposite sex. Enter into a season of consecration that will usher you into purity.

Now, to battle this demon: anoint yourself nightly and anoint your bed before turning in. Recite these verses out loud every night:When I lie down, I will not be afraid; When I lie down, my sleep will be sweet-Proverbs 3:24

When I lie down, I will not be afraid; When I lie down, my sleep will be sweet-Proverbs 3:24

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, LORD, have me dwell in safety-Psalm 4:8

And Psalm 91 in its entirety.

If after anointing yourself and praying the prayer below you continue to suffer from nightly attacks then please ask the Lord to send you to a deliverance minister who can help you. There are some out there. Do not lose hope. Seek help.

Warfare Prayer:

Father, please forgive me for opening any door to this demon. I humbly and wholeheartedly repent. I renounce any activity with the occult and any sexual sin I have committed. I bind and cast out (Incubus/Succubus) and its familiar spirits (name whatever spirit that the Holy Spirit brings to mind). (If it’s a human spirit, take the time to seek out the point of entry. You may have get rid of certain objects and you will definitely have to cut off all ties with that person. Proceed as the Holy Spirit leads. Prayer and fasting are crucial.) I now seal that door shut with the blood of Christ and ask You to keep me from opening it ever again. Hide me in the shadow of Your wing. Do not let me wander from You. Keep me safe, YHVH.

Father, dispatch warring angels to battle for me in the spirit and assign guardian angels to surround my bed. I forbid you, Incubus)Succubus to attack me ever again. You have no power over me and no place in my home. Leave now and never return! We are NOT legally married in the spirit-I do not belong to you. You have no legal claim over me. I rip to shreds any marital contract I may have signed in the spirit through sin and burn in in the Holy Ghost fire. That sin is now covered under the blood. I am free from you. I pray and give thanks and praise in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, amen.
