12 Evil Strong Men
Overcoming evil spirits & demolishing strongholds of satan
which fights against the soul of man
Familiar
spirit
Familiar spirit is “the spirit of error.” It
manipulates people with false prophecy, false dreams and visions. It is a
‘spirit of mediocre’ (average).
Amongst ‘the holiness code’ God stated to the
children of Israel, He commanded them to not turn to mediums and wizards, for
by so doing they will become unclean (Lev.19:31). Also see Deuteronomy 18:10-11.
In chapter 20 of Leviticus, verse 6, He
said:
"'I will set My
face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute
himself by following them, and I will cut him off from his people.”
And in verse 27, God commanded that every man or
woman who is a medium or wizard or spiritist be put to death by stoning.
Thou shalt not suffer
a witch to live.
Exodus 22:18 KJV
Saul, who had expelled the mediums and spiritists
from the land, consulted the witch of Endor, a witch who operates by familiar
spirit (read 1 Samuel 28:3-25). He consulted the dead on behalf of the living.
When men who are not sent by GOD speak, they say a
different thing than what GOD's Word says; for they have no Light from GOD. They
do not have the Truth (Isa 8:20-21).
Horoscope, occult, astrology, necromancy (which is
talking to the dead), charmers, mediums, divination, soothsaying, enchantment,
and interpretation of omens are all under the influence and control of the
familiar spirit. Such things are detestable to The Lord.
Let no one be found among you who sacrifices
his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery,
interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or
spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable
to The Lord, and because of these detestable practices The Lord your God will
drive out those nations before you.
Deut 18:10-12 NIV
How to overcome familiar spirits
The demon-possessed girl in Acts 16 was delivered
from a familiar spirit, as Paul rebuked the evil spirit and commanded it to
come out of her.
People who operate in the negative supernatural with
familiar spirits usually belief that they have been given power over such evil
spirits—to command and use them as their messengers.
Like the demon-possessed girl in Acts 16, who
predicted the future by a familiar spirit, such servants of the devil have
'familiar spirits' from the devil assigned to work as messengers for them.
To overcome the familiar spirit, and be totally free
from its grip, you must bear “the Testimony of Jesus.” The Testimony of Jesus
Christ is “The Spirit Of Prophecy.”
And I fell at his feet
to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy
fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the Testimony of Jesus: worship
God: for the Testimony of Jesus is The Spirit Of Prophecy.
Rev 19:10 KJV
Apostle John bore “the Testimony of Jesus” even
while banished and abandoned in the island of Patmos (see Rev.1:9; 1:2).
Every demon and the entire hordes of the kingdom of
darkness bows to The Name of Jesus Christ.
The Name of The Lord
is a strong Tower;
the righteous run to
it and are safe.
Prov. 18:10 NIV
In the days of the Old Covenant, The LORD swore by
Himself saying:
“By Myself I have
sworn, My mouth has uttered in all integrity
a Word that will not
be revoked: Before Me every knee will bow; by Me every tongue will swear.
Isaiah 45:23 NIV
The eternal Father has freely bestowed on The Son;
The Name that is above every name, and so, in honor of The
Name Of Jesus Christ all beings in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth [the
world of the spiritual-dead] will fall on their knees. And every tongue
[frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
Glory of God The Father. (Philippians 2:9-11).
GOD's own Son became our example in humility when He
came to earth for His ministry, although being essentially one with God The
Father—possessing the fullness of the attributes which makes Him GOD. So, this
is why all infernal beings take their flight at the sound of The Name Of Jesus
Christ.
