Jesus spent at least a third of His time healing and casting out demons. Spirits can gain access into people or into the personalities of individuals. When there are spirits that go from generation to generation, manifesting on a piece of land, or in an actual family or bloodline, those spirits are called familiar spirits.
So what you want to consider is:
- What generational patterns are at work in your life? What kind of spiritual forces have been in your lineage, family, and bloodline for many years? The Bible speaks about familial or familiar spirits. There are spirits that are familiar with your life journey, perhaps from generation to generation. Many believe that trauma can induce the transfer of spirits from parent to child. Addictions, poverty, and divorce are examples of patterns that can pass from generation to generation.
- Some of your battles didn’t start with you. These bents and inclinations toward fear, mistrust, abandonment, depression, and even suicide can be generational. These patterns are rooted in family history and in some strange way were passed down from generation to generation in the bloodline. An iniquity is a bent or inclination of the soul toward a certain pattern of ungodly thinking—BUT the good news is YOU DON’T HAVE TO YIELD to any spirit or generational pattern. Not for one split second!
- What can you do? When something is exerting an influence over your freedom of will and occupying your mind, it is often a spiritual assignment that is intent on breaking up your freedom to follow Christ. If the pattern has been evident in your bloodline, perhaps you are the one who gets the task of finally breaking it off of your household and the next generation! This is where you become the champion that cuts off the pattern of iniquity or the power of a familiar spirit from operating because you choose to resist it and break the cycle in your own life. That’s really what an overcomer is. Perhaps the Lord has called you for such a time as this to bring His freedom and deliverance to your family and future generations?
Annabelle and I have decided that we would discern and judge anything that was operating in our lives that was trying to transfer to our children. We found that when we confronted it and broke it off of us, we emasculated its power to transfer to the next generation. All we had to do was alert our children to the family story and history so that they could be enlightened and resist. Their power to resist was multiplied because we had brought it to the light and already dealt with it!
Question: What generational patterns is your spirit alert to even now? Ask the Lord to pinpoint the areas that it is time to address.
Give me some feedback and share the process God has you in!
As One!

Hi
As a Christian, is it wrong to include a dead relative in a celebration?
For example, on Christmas day, we surrounded the dinner table to pray. Before we can start, my husband went to go get his dead mother’s plant and placed it on the table and said he wanted her to be included.
I understood where his mind was at but it did not sit well with me. I was confused. It felt pagan.
What if a spirit that, say was tormenting you through an adult in your life since you were 5 years old. When that person died, shortly after it seems as if that spirit is still tormenting you but through your child. What is this and what can be done about it?
Praise God. My name is Allan. I Co-Pastor a church. I am married. I have two sons. One biological and one step son. One calls me dad while the other calls me by my first name. I have had him since he was six. Within the past several years I have been sensing a very strong spirit. It seems to be angry, its not me though. I need to break free from this. I was thinking this lent to do it. What are suggestions concerning this?
I have been demoinized for over 21 years and paid two different so called deliverance ministers to get me delivered and now am out of money to pay anyone else. it speaks through my tongue all the time and makes me have bad dreams about sex and dead people and makes me eat food I don’t desire and makes me practice masturbation until I bleed. I am fighting to not kill mysef. I have repented of my sins and still have this demon impersonating me. is there anyone I can go to to get free? please pray for me and email me back. please help me.
This is so true.
I have seen division among my mother’s family. Now my mom is doing the same thing to us.
I have seen my mother suffer because of her father in law’s injustice. I’m now observing her do the same thing.
These habits have to be broken by prayer.
Good morning, my name is Allison and I was searching blood line curses and demonic familiar spirits that’s from substance abuse from my son’s father coming down to him and ran across your article. Very interesting just not enough information, but thanks for the specific notes of confronting the known culperts with your family. A great lesson.
Blessings
I refuse to let the spirit of shame keep me from seeking help! I was also told that a curse had been placed on me several years ago. I have no idea when or how long. I NEED DELIVERANCE!
Can you give me an example of giving a spirit “legal right” to return after it has been bound and cast out? I had bound, as it is in heaven, the spirit of perversion, it has returned. What did I do wrong, or should have done? I was exposed to this spirit (lust/sexual thoughts/masturbation) when I was a child, along with other spirits. I also know there is a spirit that can open doors for other spirits. How do I identify what this spirit is? I pray against these spirits in my family. How do I pray against the legal right, I may have given this spirit?
I am the one to stop this spiritual invasion in my family.
I need prayer points against stubborn familiar spirits and monitoring Spirits. Am writing from Nigeria. My late father dedicated me to an evil shrine, to save my life, when i was born, little did he realise God had plans for me and wont let me die. Be decieved by powers, my late father, betrothed me to familiar and marine spirits, introducing monitoring spirits into my life. Have been resisting them with prayers, for 24years now, i need away out. Please, here is my WhatsApp: +2349013469465 for prayer points please.
God delivered me from something, I am still not sure . but it physically walked in the room ,put its hand on my shoulder. I am baffled, and still wonder what it could have been.
Hi Lance Im not sure whether this is familiar or a curse but I have been repeatedly accused of things I don’t do and bullied as well this has gone on my entire life!! I am a nurse/midwife and have had to leave every job I have had due to the above. Inspite of much prayer it remains it also attacks anything new I try ie: study etc to the point where I h a ve to defend myself from incredible accusations…my faith has seen me thru but I end up having to leave whatever job I’m in with my reputation in tatters. I’m now in a new job and have run out of hospitals to work in due to this, as a result I never go permanent anywhere always casu a l Adam too scared of w h at may help ee n to me this is extremely iso l sting. I need so m e one with impeccable discernment. (I am a prophet and intercessor ) I pray all the time but still no one knows what this is. Hope you can help. I live in Melbourne Australia and not many do spiritual warfare here or even no about it. Regards Lisa
