FOREWORD
After becoming acquainted through e-mail and phone, Nehemiah and his wife, Hannah, visited our ministry a few years ago. Although they had been living in South Carolina for quite some time, had a nice home with acreage and were basically settled in retirement, they decided the Lord would have them sell out and move to Euless to be a part of our local body and ministry. They presently live on campus in a small apartment and are a vital part of the ministry here. It has been my blessing and joy to watch them eagerly receive ministry and see the change in their lives. Nehemiah, with his website www.freeinthelordministries.com, is a tremendous advocate of the power of personal deliverance and is a walking testimony of such. Hear Nehemiahs heart cry in this book. I know he has written this because he has found this powerful work of God in his personal life. What he is saying is so true and effective if people will receive what the Lord has provided for true change in their lives. May this word come into your life as light and liberty.

PREFACE
People worldwide live in awesome bondage, condemnation, guilt, rejection, anger, poverty and lives that are often broken to the point of death. This is not what a loving and powerful God wants for His children. Why do so many suffer so much? Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and to set the captives free. Everywhere He went demons were cast out and people healed. Why not today? Why dont pastors and believers worldwide take seriously what Jesus taught and did in His earthly ministry? There is no reason to refuse the ministry of deliverance, the breaking of curses over a persons life and the casting out of demons in the name of Jesus. This book explores three major areas of bondage: (1) deliverance from demons, (2) the breaking of various curses (3) the impact of contact objects. It is way past time to quit denying what Jesus taught and did, to put on spiritual armor, go forward in the name and authority of Jesus Christ and bring people OUT OF BONDAGE. JOEL 3:13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the wine press is full. JOHN 4:35 It is time to cry aloud that the time and age of harvest is now.
MATTHEW 12:28 - But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you. Jesus emphasized the unique significance of the ministry of casting out demons. He ordered the demons to be quiet so He could deal with the manifesting person. Jesus never ordered the person be put out of the synagogue, as some are put out of churches today. How simple His way is as MATTHEW 10:7-8 recorded: And as you go, preach, saying the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick cleanse the lepers raise the dead CAST OUT DEMONS. Jesus commissioned this ministry and believers are to obey and follow Him.
commissioned. Fear of any kind comes directly from Satan. Any believer, realizing and admitting they are under demonic influence, is humbled and under some degree of trauma. It is often difficult for someone in a place of authority or reputation to submit to deliverance ministry. Pride and shame enter. Satan and his demons are deceivers. Their cunning has convinced most members in the Body of Christ that a Christian cannot have a demon or be demonized in some area of their life. This deception continues through unscriptural false teachings. The Bible nowhere says that a sheep of the house of Israel cannot have a demon. You cannot crucify a demon, pray him out or put him to death demons only go by casting them out in the name of Jesus after certain conditions are met by the believer. A Christian can be tormented or afflicted by demons in some area of his life, and yet praise and worship God, or have some physical illness traced to a spiritual root. Jesus expelled demons from many people who led ordinary lives. Believers suffer with numerous physical infirmities and thoughts or dealing with uncontrollable or unhealthy appetites. What about you? Christians who are normal, successful, healthy and faithful to God, can be beset by haunting fears or compulsive appetites (lust, greed, addictions) caused by the presence of some evil spirit. When they submit to deliverance ministry the process of real freedom begins. What does the average Christian normally do with these torments? Sadly, they seek drugs, therapies, the occult, medical treatments, continual prayers at the altar or remedies outside of what Gods Word teaches. Getting rid of demons and curses the way Jesus Christ taught brings true peace and a life-changing, life-long walk with the Lord. Jesus Christ is the deliverer - ask Him to help break your bondages and set you free.
after trying a multitude of human, fleshly remedies. Failing to discern the presence of evil spirits they only see the symptoms and not the root cause of the affliction.
Criticism, judgment, negative comments Jealousy, envy, self-centeredness, impatience, hatred Broken relationships, isolation, heaviness, depression Infirmities, pains
Situations that need attention for deliverance ministry: Something is out of control Anger without reason, contentious, bitter, critical Ongoing health problems, anxiety, insecurity, confusion Oppression, rejection, hurt feelings and teasing Difficult to pray, study the Bible, praise and worship God Living in the past, living for future, not living for today Financial and family problems, addictions Torment, mental illness, hear voices, depression
Who do you forgive? Everybody. Yourself. So called acts of God. How do you forgive? Make a conscious CHOICE. What price is put on real peace? Forgive and in time emotions will settle, pains will leave and true peace comes.
5 - Prayer of Forgiveness
Father in Heaven, I come to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe He is Your Son, He has risen from the grave and sits at Your right hand ever interceding for me. I repent of not forgiving, holding bitterness in my heart and being upset about other people, situations and even myself. You so willingly forgive so I choose to forgive also. Bring to my mind every person and everything I need to forgive. In the Name of Jesus Christ I forgive (people as their names come to you) I declare my forgiveness of every person I have named and shall continue to consider them forgiven from this time on. I also forgive (name hurtful or traumatic situations). I confess any and all bitterness toward You, oh God. I know You do not make mistakes and are perfect in all Your ways. Help me to see that more and more. I renounce the spirits of bitterness, anger, hatred, violence, retaliation, murder and memory recall. I command these unclean spirits to leave me now. I will restore anything owed to anyone as You give strength and provision and forgive anything that is owed to my by anyone. 5
Joshua conquered the Promised Land one city at a time. Deliverance is an ongoing, life-changing process, not a one-time patchwork experience. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and deliverance ministry exposes these evil spirits. Everyone needs the ministry of deliverance.
I now receive healing in my physical body and command every spirit of infirmity and disease to leave me now. You unclean spirits have no grounds to stay so leave now. I ask you, Jesus Christ, to pour the balm of healing into my wounded spirit and I now receive healing for a broken heart that has come because of hurts, disappointments and abuses. Thank You, Father and Son through Your Holy Spirit. AMEN.

PROV 30:6 Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar. REV 22:18-19 If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of this book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life Is your pastor and church believing, teaching and ministering deliverance? If not, WHY? Could it be the fear of man, the denominational governing board or other members? GAL 1:10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? Will it be to please the Lord or to please men? You must choose! Something is terribly and painfully wrong in most churches today. Jesus clearly said to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers and cast out demons but the church is busy with various social and entertainment programs which ignore the spiritual needs of its suffering members in bondage. Many are listening to and teaching another gospel, another Jesus and a different spirit. Documented situations abound where a believer manifests in services and is quickly removed to the basement or out of the building, lest somebody be offended or embarrassed. Jesus never ministered this way. He responded in love by rebuking the demon in the person and ordering the demon to Be quiet and come out of him. LUKE 4:33-36 and MARK 1:23-26. Do what Jesus did and set the people free.
In REV 22:18-19, DEUT 4:2 and PROV 30:4-5 Jesus warns anyone who adds to or takes away from the Word. God is seeking people who will obey Him in all things. ROM 9:14-21 He is a sovereign God. Blessings always flow to the obedient.
Why is this? A woman went to the altar for several weeks and was not healed of her back pains. I asked the Lord why and He revealed that a demonic spirit was near her kidneys. Her church denied outright that she, a believer, could have a demon within or even be oppressed by a demon. Several months later she came for deliverance ministry and the Lord gave her healing and freedom. Another denominational pastor witnessed a member begin to manifest in services. He chose not to deal with the demon, as Jesus taught, but called 911. The lady was taken away by ambulance, along with her demons. She later died in agony. This church and its pastor denied the ministry of deliverance and refused to help the lady. He glossed over the verses about demons when he taught from MARK 16. WHY? What a sad commentary on the suffering of so many believers, who truly love the Lord, sincerely pray and believe, but remain in demonic bondage because their church refuses to teach, believe and practice what Jesus did concerning deliverance. Jesus strongly describes unconcerned and disobedient pastors in JOHN 10:11-13. Instead of laying down his life for the flock when he sees the wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and flees. The pastor flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep, but only doing what he is told to do and paid to do. What should any pastor do when a member manifests? Take authority, have other members gather around for support, speak with the power given him in the name of Jesus, ask the Holy Spirit for guidance and then cast the demon out and witness the person get real freedom. Jesus always came casting out demons and healing the sick. MARK 1:39 And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons. Refusing to do what Jesus did is a major problem today in most churches. Problems will continue at the altar until all pastors obey Gods 8
Holy Spirit showing and teaching the believer to forgive, practice Kingdom principles of the Word of God and most importantly learning to love. This cannot be accomplished unless the person is truly jointed in a Body of Believers. Many believers receive comprehensive deliverance ministry only to return to their church (if they have one) where the leadership either does not believe in or minister deliverance. Consequently, the earnest disciple finds his or her conquest fades away. Deliverance is not something we receive once or twice and then go on our way. The enemies of our souls must be confronted and engaged. This requires a lifetime of surveillance as one walks with the full armor of God. Being in a local body provides a place of safety, transparency, comfort, support and ongoing love from fellow believers. There is much disappointment in the lives of many people when they realize that deliverance has no place in most of their churches today. God loves family. He desires our lives to be intertwined, bonded and jointed with one another for ongoing mutual benefit and blessings. Body ministry is an absolute need for any believer.
throwing the city into confusion. They overlooked the spiritual miracle of deliverance in the slave girl because of their lust and greed. LUKE 8:26-37 is about the demonized man from Gerasenes who suffered for many years until Jesus came and set him free from the spirit of Legion. The demons were permitted to enter the swine and went into the sea. Herdsmen in the area saw this deliverance. Instead of rejoicing at the freedom of the suffering man they became upset and people in the surrounding district asked Jesus to leave them. Their pigs were more important than the sanity and health of the man Jesus set free. When the power of ruling principalities in a given area is broken or an individual is set free this causes disruptions and changes in the people involved. Even demons are affected as JAMES 2:19 says: You believe that God is one. You do well, the demons also believe, and shudder. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil which includes casting demons out of believers and setting free captives held in bondage. The breaking of oppression irritates some people. Relationships within the extended family are often challenged, un-healthy soulties are broken, the spirits of Ahab and Jezebel are exposed, and issues of manipulation-domination-intimidation are revealed. People are exposed for what they really are and division is the result. Where they should be rejoicing there is often resentment and anger at the changed person. Deliverance often causes division when it exposes the works of darkness and brings people to the light of the truth. One who prefers darkness is suddenly threatened. Deliverance brings the Kingdom of God among people. And true freedom to the believer. JOHN 8:31 If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Are you ready for real change in your life? Jesus will set you free 11
not obeying God in all things. Disobedience, spoken words, witchcraft, contact objects, occult, generational there are many open doors that allow curses to operate in your life. Following chapters give many causes of curses but do not include every curse. If you are cursed ask the Lord to reveal whats behind the curse and what you should do. The Holy Spirit will guide you to the godly solution. Remember PROVERBS 26:2 So a curse without cause does not alight.
1- What Is A Curse?
To utter a wish of evil against someone, utter or call for mischief, or for injury that can cause one to fall, to vex or arrest, all meant to bring people into great calamities. (Websters 1828 Dictionary) DEUT 8:20 you shall perish; because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God. Disobedience brings curses into a persons life. DEUT 28:15-45 outlines the serious consequences of 12
Dry mouth, taste impairment, tongue-eye-ear problems Impaired speech, headaches, dizziness, sexual problems God says Do not cut your flesh. Obedience to Gods law prevents any associated problems to your body.
This writers great-great grandfather, brick mason and plantation farmer in Georgia, owned slaves. An ancestral generational curse came on his family and his descendants and those who were enslaved and their family lines. Through deliverance ministry I broke this curse off my family line.
5 Sexual Abuse
Most common is one family member abusing another close family member. Many homes have a history of ongoing sexual abuse, which is the root of many serious problems, affecting millions of people. Serious emotional, mental and physical health problems are created by one or more of the following situations. Not every abused person encounters every situation: Rape Incest Sins of the fathers Blocked or bound memory Emotional pain and damage Depression, traumatic shock Death and suicide wishes 15
Sexual fantasy, Pornography addiction Frigidity, extra-marital affairs Cannot discern true agape love Flashbacks during right sex Blanking out, hatred of right sex Family secrets, hatred and shame A sexually abused person finds it difficult to speak out about what happened.They may not remember a single detail. Jesus shows compassion about their pain. Deliverance ministry is needed to set the abused person free.
8 Smoking
There is a demonic connection to smoking. A mind-control demon tells you to light up while having a drink, watching TV, a movie or observing another person smoking. A question to ask yourself is: If my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit then why would I want to foul it with smoke? 1 COR 3:7 gives warning about hurting 17
ones body. Nicotine is addictive and demons will use this against a smoker. It attacks the nervous system, causes mood swings between periods of hypertension and depression, affects mental alertness, and dulls the senses in general. Smoking is very expensive and curses ones finances by wasting funds. Second-hand smoke harms others and is socially rude. The spirit of death accompanies smoking. It is called slow suicide. Biblical research seems to indicate that smoking is burning incense to pagan gods. There is nothing redeeming in smoking and a believer should repent and cast the demons of tobacco out in the name of Jesus.
9 Tattoos
Another violation of Gods law on cutting the flesh is tattoos. This practice is related to blood-letting and magic and can led to one or more of the following curses: Related to blood-letting and magical practices Serious skin and blood infections, hepatitis C Roots traceable to pagan demonism, Baal worship, occultism Themes of death (snakes, skulls, spiders, webs, demons) Alcohol and drug problems increase, violent behavior Sexual misconduct, dropping out of school, jobs, activities Possible psychiatric conditions, bi-polar, antisocial, bondage Damage to relationships and employment opportunities Most people would never deface or defile a place of worship but have little or no objection to defiling or defacing their own bodies. What might cost $50 and a few minutes of time may take years and thousands of dollars to remove. Tattoos can become an albatross on a person for all time. Obeying the Lord and never cutting ones flesh with tattoos guarantees safety from many curses. 18
sororities and social clubs carry severe consequences for the speaker and family members, even down several generations. Speaking negative words invites demons to come in, take over and fulfill what you spoke. Death-talk produces a meaningless life and physical infirmities, many which defy explanation. PROVERBS 6:2 You are snared with the words of your mouth Be careful what you say and even what you think. PROVERBS 18:221 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit
Never fear Satan or the demons. Walk in the power and authority of Gods Word and the name of Jesus. Listen only to the voice of the Holy Spirit. BASTARD DEUT 23:2 One of illegitimate birth shall not enter the assembly of the Lord. Any child conceived out of wedlock is by Bible definition a bastard and this curse can affect up to 10 generations unless broken in the name of Jesus after appropriate forgiveness of all persons involved. Here are some problems that can affect a person born as a bastard: Lust, anger, hate, envy, jealousy, being unsettled Difficulty in maintaining steady work, church and marriage issues Being a vagabond (wandering from place to place) Drug and alcohol problems, fascination with crime, occult, witchcraft Ahab and Jezebel tendencies, self-hatred Confrontational or withdrawal nature, difficulty in knowing true love Difficult in having good relationships, suicide thoughts Adultery, fornication, abortion, incest, insecurity, sexual sins Rejection, bitterness, rebellion, loneliness King David conceived a bastard child (II SAMUEL 11:2-5) and committed murder trying to cover his sexual sin. The child died and Davids household was cursed. FAMILY TREE Possible results of problems in the family history Tragic deaths (suicide, accidental, murder, died in prison or mental ward Considered black sheep, rejects, outcasts Addictions to drugs, sex, alcohol, food, work, social clubs, church Sexual perversions (adultery, pornography, incest, 21
prostitution) Racism, multiple marriages, divorce, spousal abuse, infidelity, grudges Selfishness, greed, hoarding, locked in past history and deja vu HEALTH PROBLEMS persistent issues with your overall health Blood pressure, diabetes, heart conditions, stroke, by-pass surgery Bone and joint issues, arthritis, scoliosis, humpback(widow hump) Nerves: breakdown, migraines, shingles, neuropathy Skin: acne, psoriasis, warts, eczema, cancer, blemishes, age spots Respiratory: asthma, colds, sinuses, congestion, pneumonia, black-lung Mental: insanity, schizophrenia, learning disorders UNBROKEN ANCESTRAL - practices of ancestors can possibly curse a person Psychic prayers, witchcraft, Satanism, Wicca, Voodoo Secret societies such as Freemasonry, Knights Templar, KKK Fraternities, Sororities, Secret social clubs Cults, false religions (without Jesus Christ) Blood and other oaths with sworn words (Ill never tell) The Occult, horoscopes, sances
When did it begin and do you recognize an open door Any of my ancestors involved in any way? Any immediate family members having the same problem? Many teach that Christ took all the curses and it is finished. Not true. Grace never means that a curse cant come on a person and pass down through the generations. God provides a remedy for the curse. Confess your own sins and those of your ancestors, repent Believe that Jesus came to destroy the works of Satan Accept Gods forgiveness (1 JOHN 1:9), forgive yourself Claim all of Gods blessings. Speak the scriptures. Break the curse and remove yourself from the curse in the name of Jesus Christ. Believe and confess that you are now free in Christ.
maligned by many and neglected by the majority of believers. WHY? This is the only commandment that carries a serious downward consequence when disobeyed. Here are samples of human reasoning concerning objects and images: Its only a little doll. I just love my ceramic angels What harm is a mermaid? Stuffed teddy bear-what harm? Old statue has been in the family for generations I got a dream-catcher for my grandchild-I see no harm
Images included under this law include: Animals, stars, sun, moon Male and female figures, carved images Standing images (phallic symbols), obelisks, pagodas Church steeples, minarets, Cross, Crucifix
There are a number of objects in a home that can attract demons. Some appear innocent or harmless. If anything is questionable, ask the Lord for discernment. Here are objects to consider that may be prone to demonic attachment: Crucifix, Dream Catchers, most Irish jewelry Occult symbols sewn in clothing designs and images Photos of dead people (death spirits) Christian jewelry (crosses, doves, fish symbols) Some antiques, heirlooms, pictures and statues of angels Puppetry, Ventriloquism, Subliminal tapes, Rock-n-Roll Music Satanic symbols (pentagram, cross of Nero, Baphomet) Dungeons and Dragons, most video games All dolls, Mime, all porno items, many gemstones Horoscopes, Ouija Board, Sance materials, Tarot Cards Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Exorcist, Wizard of Oz, E.T. Most Native American artwork, jewelry, clothing, blankets Boy and Eagle Scout materials. Charms, shamrocks,
Men have a natural tendency to eventually worship idols and images, which God prohibits with no exceptions. JOSHUA 6:18 by all means abstain from the accursed things, lest you become accursed Obey God, avoid being cursed.
You do not have to worship any item for it to be idolatry. Their existence in your home is enough to give demons the legal right to be in your home. 25
childs mind. One couple had a stuffed frog named Max. One day, as they passed him in the bookcase, they noticed his eyes following them across the room. The Holy Spirit revealed this demonic object. It was destroyed, the owners repented and the curses were broken in the name of Jesus. Contact objects attract demonic spirits. Always seek the Lord in these matters and He will show you what is demonic, dangerous or acceptable.
6 Dream Catchers
Dream catchers, very popular with Native Americans, are used to filter out bad dreams at dawns first light. It is believed they trap unimportant or bad dreams that float in the air. The middle hole allows good dreams to reach the sleeping person. The cribs of many babies have a dream catcher hanging near by. They are nothing more than an AMULET used as a magic charm for sleep protection. God warns about this in DEUT 18:10-11. Many documented deliverance cases exist where children were wonderfully delivered from demonic problems when the dream catchers were removed, destroyed and the curses broken. A good and safe sleep comes from the Lord. PSALM 4:8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep PSALM 91:5,9-10. God is our protector and we never need a dream catcher. Believers are to put their trust for protection in Jesus Christ.
7 Voodoo Dolls
A very popular form of magic which uses a doll, usually made from wax or cloth, to represent a person being cursed. The doll is tagged with the name of the cursed person and often an item belonging to the person is attached to the doll. 27
A pin is stuck in the doll to cast the spell, usually around the liver area. Every kind of evil is conjured up including injury, fear, death, riches, bad luck to enemies, good luck to the one using the doll. Colors are important: red = love, black = hate, green = luck, pink = success, yellow = to dispel evil forces. God forbids the use of magic dolls of any kind. Those using voodoo dolls curse themselves and their family line. The practice is totally demonic and forbidden.
be protected from the demonic spirits attached to these beliefs: Rabbits foot to bring good luck and magical powers Horse Shoe special powers against evil spirits and witchery Wishbone break the V-bone for good luck or special wish Knock on wood counteracts bad luck. Four-Leaf clover to give discernment of demons Crossed fingers a symbol of perfect unity, brings good luck String tied on finger keep idea from escaping, memory aid Broken mirror Divination tool. Who is fairest of all? Friday the 13th, number 13 Christians never dictate lucky or unlucky days. God controls our days. Some believe on Friday the 13th that Eve was tempted, Noah set sail, Tower of Babel was destroyed, Solomons temple toppled and Jesus was crucified. Many hotels, motels, office buildings and elevators have no 13th floor. Black cat across your path so called 9-lives, witches had black cats and cats are worshipped in some cultures (ROMANS 1:25) Walk under a ladder rested against the crucifix, a symbol of wickedness, betrayal and death. Egyptian good luck symbol (Osiris rescued from darkness because a ladder was used to save her) People, without the perfect peace of Jesus, in ignorance, turn to the superstitious for power and relief. ISAIAH 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you.
the Lord has given us. A believer is assured of Gods protection of his person and property because God is sovereign in all matters. Nothing escapes the watchful eye of the Lord. The principles of always giving thanks to the Lord are found in DEUT 8:10-19 and 1 THESS 5:16.We show God we are thankful by the way we keep our bodies, homes and belongings. How to cleanse and protect your property: Anoint all doors, windows and openings with olive oil frequently Pray over each room, ask the Lord for specific instructions Anoint and break all curses on communication devices Observe what is in your home and who enters your home Tell God often how much you appreciate His blessings Be balanced and reasonable in protecting your property Never allow fear of the demonic to influence your decisions Trust the Lord for perfect protection at all times while at home or away Jesus has given us absolute authority over Satan and demons. Use it! How to bless your home and property: Dedicate them to love and understanding Perform duties over them in love Treat every family member with godly respect A place of friendship, rest, play and cooperation Hospitality to others
PROV 24:3-4 By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge the rooms are filled with precious and pleasant riches PROV 3:33 He blesses the dwelling of the righteous God has given us physical homes and property. Keep them in a condition that glorifies God. 30
