It has been said that the devil does not usually come into one’s life uninvited. He follows protocol. Someone has to have something belonging to Him. For example, in horror films we see a vampire has to be invited in, he can’t just walk in and certain things will prevent him. It may be something we brought have brought into the house, something or things we have done, or something or things we have not done that we should have.
Sometimes demons come in just because they can. It could also be due to ancestral iniquity – sins and the results of sin on the family line. Or it may even be the place itself, one’s home, as there are places that are inherently cursed or the curse is due to the previous occupants and things they did there. Sometimes though it is not possible to cleanse a place, and it is better to just get away and go somewhere else.
Generally speaking, whatever the cause, the remedy is the same – deliverance from evil, as per the Lord’s Prayer, aka spiritual warfare.
The devil and his demons are expert legalists and deceivers and are always looking to get a toehold, a foothold, a stronghold and then a stranglehold in people’s lives. Getting cursed objects and symbols into people’s homes or gardens and lives while blinding them to it, is one of their main methods of achieving that, through a person’s disobedience to God.
In particular, the presence of one or more cursed objects in the home can help to open demonic doorways, or portals as mentioned earlier in this article. In some cases, just removing the item/s and throwing them in the trash can resolve the problem/s. In other cases, it is more complex and there is more to uncover, such as perhaps unconfessed sin, or unforgiveness, etc. but removing cursed objects from one’s home is a good start.
“Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, LEST THOU BE A CURSED THING LIKE IT: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.” (Deuteronomy 7:26)
The presence of a cursed object in our home or garden can affect any and every area of our life. It can affect our health, our physical and mental wellbeing, our finances, relationships, our employment, our home and anything else. It may be just be an indefinable subtle influence on the mind and soul of those near it or it may be more profound and prominent. The purpose of this influence is to take as much (witchcraft) control of their victim as possible and lead them in a wrong direction where more control can be exerted.
The possession of cursed objects and symbols in one’s home, garden, transport or office, along with engaging in other sinful practices and other forms of disobedience to God can effectively open demonic doorways – also called portals or gateways. These doorways provide licence grounds or legal rights, to demons to harass, torment and destroy, in all the ways that they do. Sometimes, in order to get deliverance, we need to find what or where those open doorways are, and shut them down.
These terms ‘demonic doorway’ or ‘portals’ do not appear in the Bible but a TV, radio or mobile phone are types of portals. Examples of what is meant or implied by those terms can be seen in scriptures like this:
“Neither give place to the devil.” (Ephesians 4:27) [Not give some place, or a little place, but give NO place.]
“I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.” (Psalm 101:3)
Other Bible versions say: “It shall not fasten its grip on me”, “It shall not grasp hold of me”.
“And do not give the devil a foothold.” (Ephesians 4:27 NIV)
“Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” (Ephesians 5:11)
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: For we are not ignorant of his devices.” (2 Corinthians 2:11)
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” (1 Peter 5:8)
Other Bible versions say: “Be vigilant”, “Be alert”, “Be on your guard”, “Be clear-minded”, “Be watchful”.
