INDIVIDUALS EFFECTED BY ENTITIES

---

Reasons why Malevolent spirits can occupy an Individual :

• Because they are under a curse placed there by someone

• Because of the unrighteous actions of former tenants, spiritual dimensional doors have been opened that allow for the entry of such entities

• Through objects brought into the space.

• When the inhabitants of a home engage in an abnormally high level of strife.

• With the practice of occult ceremonies or games.

• Paganistic ritualism often practiced through ethnic traditions.

• Whenever there has been human suffering, violence, or substantial emotional trauma.

• When a member of the household is involved in witchcraft or sorceries.

• Through familiar spirits that are ancestral.

• Unnatural sexual activity

• Any place where addiction to drugs, alcohol and pornography can be found

• Where the sin of iniquity is taking place

• Involvement in secret societies or any group that requires a ceremonial oath to be apart of the group. This could include military, social fraternity or sorority, or organizations like the Free Masons.

Matthew 12: 43 - 45

Jesus said: “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”

• Jesus makes it very clear that an evil spirit can occupy a person as much as any dwelling. It is also clear from this passage of scripture that unclean spirits are wrestles if they cannot house themselves in a body of a person. 
• Understand, that just because an unclean spirit houses itself in the body of a person, does not mean that they are possessed by evil spirits. Hollywood has had more influence in creating a false narrative and belief that Christians can be possessed by evil spirits. Evil spirits can demonize a Christian from within the Christian’s body as much as from the outside.

To better understand my point, you need to understand who God made us and what the bible has to say about the influence of demons operating through people :

1 Thessalonians 5: 23 - 24

“May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.”

When God created humans in His image, He created you as a TRI-UNE person having three very distinct and important parts = Your Body, Your Soul, and Your Spirit

• Of the three parts only one is temporary, corruptible, and mortal. This would be your body. Your organic body is what houses your soul and spirit. When you become a Holy Spirit filled Christian, your body also houses the kingdom of heaven, the Throne Room of God, where God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit indwell you.

Luke 17: 20 - 21 KJV

“And when He was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, here! or, there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Where the kingdom of God is so is God."

The Apostle Paul makes it clear that our bodies are temporary houses in the following scripture:

2 Corinthians 5: 1 - 5

“For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.”

• The Apostle Paul refers to our organic bodies as temporary “tent bodies”. The word “tent” implies a temporary place of dwelling or more simply a dwelling. Dwellings can be co-inhabited. In this case, your tent body can be inhabited by unclean spirits, the Holy Spirit, and of course your soul and spirit. 
• Our Bodies have an inter-dimensional component that allows for the indwelling Spirit of God to live in us. This same inter-dimensional component is as a doorway that if left unguarded can allow for malevolent entities to also pass through.

Consider the following scripture:

Matthew 16: 22 – 23

“Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to You!” Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

• Notice in the above scripture that there are only two physical people present: Jesus Christ and Peter.
• Yet, we see Jesus Christ rebuking a third person, Satan. It was Satan that spoke through Peter to Jesus Christ!

Matthew 10: 7 - 8

Jesus said: “As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.”

• As disciples or followers of Jesus Christ, from where are we to drive out demons? From all the places that they take refuge in and dwell.
• There are those Christian theologians that will claim a Christian or person cannot have the power to drive out a demon. This same mentality attempted to tell Jesus Christ the same thing.

Mark 1: 21 - 28

“They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. The people were amazed at his teaching, because He taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”

“Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!” The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.

The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey Him.” News about Him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.

• The gospel of the kingdom was introduced to the world through Jesus Christ. Every miracle that Jesus did was found in the Old Testament except one, which is the authority to drive out demons
• Essentially, the Gospel of the Kingdom, is the Witness of resurrected Jesus Christ having spiritual authority over the kingdom of darkness. We as Christians who are filled in the Holy Ghost have the same power to continue the work of salvation in this age of darkness.

MANY PEOPLE & CHRISTIANS ARE UNAWARE THAT THEY MAY HAVE BEEN BORN INTO FAMILY BLOOD LINES THAT ARE INHERENTLY CURSED BECAUSE OF THE SINS OF THE FOREFATHERS.

Numbers 14: 18

“The LORD is long suffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He by no means clears the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation.”

• I have personally witnessed many household curses brought on by the sins of the forefathers and that the family was completely unaware of it. When these curses of sin are repented from, covered in the blood of Jesus, and renounced by the family, the curse will be lifted and the hereditary sickness ceases and the oppressive spirits leave.

Matthew 27: 19 - 26

“While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.”

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.

“Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor.

Barabbas,” they answered.

“What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked.

They all answered, “Crucify him!”

“Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.

But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!”

(25) All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”

Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.”

• Notice in verse 25, that the elders of Israel placed a curse on themselves and their descendants. Now do you understand why the nation of Israel from that time until now has gone through so much persecution. There is clear evidence that one could speculate that the Holocaust was brought on to them because of what their ancestors spoke and pledged over them.

JESUS CHRIST USHERED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM TO TAKE AUTHORITY OVER THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL.

Mark 1: 21 - 28

“Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught. And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

(25) But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.”

• This was the first time in the history of the Bible that the satanic side of the Law of Affliction could be directly challenged and dealt with God’s by kingdom authority.

Matthew 10: 5 – 8

“These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’(8) Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.”

• In verse 8, Jesus Christ gives these commands to His disciples to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, and to drive out demons. When we as Christians are born again, we are called by Jesus Christ to become Hid disciples, and in such fashion we will do the same works by the power of the Holy Spirit.
