Familiar spirit is a ministering spirit designated to help someone through the influence of dark powers. This spirit is the Devil’s version of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives counsel and helps someone without harm, but familiar spirit helps and hurt his client later on.
I put up this message today through the help of the Holy Spirit because many Christians are still under the torments of familiar spirit. I would expose the secret of familiar spirit and how Christians can be free from the terrible influence.
What help does this household spirit gives?
- It helps the witches and the sorcerer in their crafty business. For instance; the manipulation of Samuel’s image and voice when king Saul sought to hear from the dead.
(First Samuel chapter 28) - Familiar spirit assists the false prophets and pastors to predict the future of their members (divination).
The Cause of Familiar Spirit to Your Life?
When I gave my life to Jesus Christ and defeated the Devil’s confrontation through the Blood of Jesus, I thought that was all. My life became well improved but sometimes I still go through some struggles which I later identified the source to be the familiar spirit. I want to share some sources through which familiar spirit could get to you:
- Through your parents: If your parents had carried you to a witch doctor or any demonic consultant for help or dedicated you to the evil spirit…
- Visiting your false prophet (divination): If you have visited a false prophet to ask about your future or any help in a desperate way…
- Through exposure to demonic materials or wears: Ouija board, dark world materials, soap/oil/handkerchief/miracle water from false Pastors or Prophets…
- Joining the nice occult group: for instance, the white witches, churches with witchcraft doctrines and so on.
- Relationship with the Astrologers either offline or through the internet…
- Familiar spirit can move from one generation of your family to another.
How Does a Familiar Spirit Work?
Familiar spirit is used to your spirit and soul. It connects you to the kingdom of Devil. When you don’t have the Holy Spirit, it takes the full control of your life. The domestic spirit looks very friendly to you because it communicates unique information to you and answers your errands. His consolation is that when you die, you’ll go to hell.
But the day you give your life to Jesus and ask for the invitation of the Holy Spirit into you…a battle line is drawn!!
Yes, the familiar spirit would vacate your heart for the Holy Spirit to come in, but any slightest slackness from you is an opportunity for a strike.
Note: Giving your life to Jesus does not mean that the LORD would spoon-feed you. “But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62)
7 Ways You Can be Pulled Down
The familiar spirit is capable of doing the following:
-
- When you keep seeing the dead familiar people
- Hallucination through drugs or alcohol
- Frightening dreams or visions with consistent pattern of familiar places related to your old school, old parent’s house or village, group of dreadful people, long chase by thugs and the likes
- Thoughtful negative voices threatening your job, family and life.
- Exaggerating your challenges to sow seeds of bitterness into you.
- Always refer you to your friends and relatives doing better than you to make you feel uncomfortable with God.
- Fear, fear, fear, everything, everywhere, you are always afraid!
Your heart is the only place the familiar spirit can use to make an impact, thus, secure your heart with the word of GOD.
10 Ways to Defeat Familiar Spirit
This domestic spirit is not a respecter of your status as a Christian. He is not bothered if you are devoted or full of anointing. He waits patiently for an opportunity to remind you of your past. Some steps to take to become victorious include:
- Don’t believe the voice of condemnation.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (2Corinthian 5:17)
- Melt every fear with the hopeful and faithful word of GOD.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2Timothy 1:7)
- Give your whole heart to the LORD. So, don’t think carelessly!
- If your heart is full of fear or worries, you would have bad dreams, so ease your heart with good gospel music before going to bed.
- Miracle can’t stop it, so confront familiar spirit by sharply rebuking his familiar talks or images.
- Don’t give room to digest and analyse the thoughts from your familiar spirit. It may go big and get you depressed!
- Read more passages in the Bible and less of your old dairies.
- Stay away from close associates that gets you depressed with their toxic words.
- Be cautious and not conscious to sin.
- Your technical know-how cannot stop the familiar spirit, but your trust in Jesus every moment of your life is the golden bullet!
Familiar spirit is a demon attached to an individual to serve as a household servant. Christians suffering from the influence of this domestic spirit can receive permanent victory through faith and discipline on the path of righteousness. I have overcome the household spirit, so you can!
It is well with you Kimmie. All you need to do are:
1. Confess all your sins on your knee to the LORD. HE would forgive you.
2. Forgiveness of the LORD would work for you if you don’t commit sins again.
3. Study the Bible by reading and understanding the word Everyday.
4. Obey every Word of God and Word of Jesus you read.
5. Stop singing worldly songs and don’t watch worldly movies anymore.
6. Pray fervently everyday. You can fast if you have no health issue.
7. Whenever you see them, go carry your bible and start reading aloud the Word God in the Bible. Always tell them that you did not belong to them anymore because Jesus Christ had delivered you from them. Then you shout with faith: “Leave me and Go in the Name of Jesus”. If you repeat this step often they would stop appearing to you because they cannot withstand the Power in the name of Jesus Christ.
8. Let your Faith be firm only in GOD. Don’t believe in holy water, anointing oil, handkerchief or soaps etc. All these are idolatry practices in the church which can never give you deliverance.
Looking forward to hearing from you as you follow the practical steps above.
May the Power of the LORD deliver you perfectly in Jesus name.
I’m going through this to I can’t hear them but they write what they are saying and I see them my family thinks I have went crazy but I’m not they also write on my arm they say they help but always telling me diei know my God loves me and have forgiven my sins I’m just tired of seeing them every night I need help what can I do?????
I appreciate GOD that the article blessed you. I encourage you to be faithful to the LORD everyday and have the consciousness that the LORD dwells in your heart as a child of GOD. Thank you Jacqueline for your comments.
I am wondering why a familiar spirit resists deliverance? When I first became born again I underwent a few deliverance sessions and thought I would be free of such things. I understand that backsliding can be a re-entry point but I had deliverance session again. Yet I now find that this familiar spirit is still with me and I feel that it has been there all along resisting eviction.
I have been searching the Word of God about this and praying about it. I have come to the conclusion that familiar spirits are part of the principalities and powers we are to wrestle against. The Word of God daily, prayer and having self control and trust in the power of our Lord and Saviour seems the only way,
The daily fight against the presence of familiar spirits at times can be draining, tiring so you have to encourage yourself in the Lord at all times.
I have found your article to be of much benefit and feel that what you have written is of more use than other things that I have read.
I am happy you are blessed. The LORD will surely give you a permanent victory in Jesus name.
I’m going through this exactly to a T. It was like hearing my experience exactly. I feel so alone at times cause none understands what I’m going through. But thank GOD he is with me and forgives. I now know for sure what I’m going through and I’m praying the LORD removes this thing. Thank you
