OUR SOCIETY CAUSES many to subliminally and unknowingly function under the influence of familiar spirits. This book exposes these spirits that operate undercover in the name of tradition, trend, fashion, lifestyle, and personality traits. After reading the chapters of this book, the only way you can remain subliminally bound by the familiar is if you want to.
I am not writing this book to judge peoples faith or how they choose to live. My purpose is to bring revelation to those who want to know the truth. I am going to share stories in this book that recount dramatic manifestations I have experienced.
They are all true stories. You might never experience anything that dramaticin fact, I pray you dont. But the subtle, hidden, familiar influence of the enemy can be damaging because it can go undetected in your life for years, and therefore you never do anything to remove it.
Over the years, I have ministered to people at both ends of the spectrum and everything in between. I have ministered to those who have extreme amounts of demonic activity in their lives and also to those who have only subliminal demonic activity of which they are not even aware. Personally I think the people with extreme demonic activity are better off because at least they know they need help!
The enemy sends assignments of unawares (pareisduno, Jude 4). These are things that creep into our lives without notice. The Amplified Bible says its as if they were sneaking in by a side door. If you allow them, they will settle into your environment unnoticed and could eventually deter you from becoming all that God wants you to be.
The purpose of this book is to help those who have unknowingly allowed demonic influences into their lives. Whether you have inherited them, welcomed them, befriended them, or paid homage to them without even knowing it happened, they have become so familiar to you that you dont see them as the source of struggles or problems you have been facing.
There are many reasons that people go through battles in their lives that are spiritually connected to the dark side. This book shines light on those things that have crept in unawares and become so familiar that we dont recognize they are access points of the enemy into our lives and homes.
In the Book of Judges, Sisera was the commander of the Canaanite army that had mobilized against Israel, whose army was commanded by Deborah the prophetess and Barak. Sisera tried to hide in Jaels house, but she didnt hide him outshe took him out. Jael had a tent peg in one hand and a hammer in the other, and when Sisera went to sleep, she put that hammer to his head. (See Judges 4.)
Everyone prays for the anointing of Deborah, but I say its time to pray for the anointing of Jael. She was not a judge or a national leader like Deborah. Jael was a housewife. Oftentimes we ask God to give us a worldwide ministry because we want to reach the nations, but God wants us to kill the enemy trying to hide in our homes. When it comes to the enemy, its time to stop hiding him out and start taking him out.
Jael put the hammer to the head of the enemy because the battle is in the mind. As you read this book, you need to pray and ask God to protect your mind. Come against any mind-binding or mind-blinding spirits that would try to control your thinking. It is my prayer that you will be one who has ears to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying and through this book you will discover the hidden ways the enemy has been allowed to take up residence in your home, causing hindrances and havoc in your life and the lives of your family members.
WHAT IS A FAMILIAR SPIRIT?
In surfing the internet to find a biblical definition of familiar spirit, I could not find anything that agreed with my spirit. A quick Google search will turn up definitions related to mediums and sorcerers who call upon spirits of people who have died. Some sources say that familiar comes from the Latin word familiaris, which means household servant, and the idea behind the term familiar spirits is that sorcerers and mediums can summon these obedient demonic servants upon command.
Other definitions say the spirits summoned by mediums are called familiar because people recognize them as a person who used to be alive, someone familiar to them. I believe these are all part of the definition of familiar spirits, but they do not cover the entire scope of everything involved in this topic.
A familiar spirit is a specific type of evil spirit, identified by its primary characteristicfamiliarity. In my book
