The giants in your family, also known as the strong man in your father’s house, can take different forms. They could be female demonic agents or witches in the family; witch doctors, marine worshippers or evil consultants. They are personalities, but demonic in nature.

There are cases of such persons in some families who even declare openly and boastfully that they are responsible for the predicament of some family members. In one of our deliverance services, the mother-in-law of a lady boasted that she had taken the name of the lady to seven altars to ensure that she would suffer and never have a child in her marriage. What a great wickedness, to think that even her own son who was married to this lady was also affected. We handed this witch of a woman over to God in the place of prayers and not too long, God visited her. She slept one night and never woke up.

Suddenly, the eyes of her son who had been very ignorant, became open and he started realizing all the evil intentions and activities of his mother against his marriage. Praise be to God, today his marriage is blessed with children and their joy is restored. The delays and battles of over 15 years were terminated. God said in Isa. 49:25 that he will contend with those that contend with us and He will save our children. May God release military angels to walk through the camp of your enemies tonight. There shall be great massacre and weeping for your enemies in Jesus’ name.

The second form of the strong man is the family deity or demon idol. This is what your grandfathers worshipped in the past. They could appear to you in your dream like a giant or dwarf. In some cases, they could be married to every member of the family and so lay claim of ownership over them. If your parents served them, they certainly would have dedicated all their children to them. By implication, you have become their property.

Again, the strongman can take the form of a spirit spouse either from your family deity or another source. If you have had sexual relations with a demon possessed person, the spirit can begin to manifest in your life, as a spirit wife or husband. A lady who cried to us in one of our deliverance services said the spirit husband in her life was so terrible and violent that he would tear off her clothes and rape her every night. She would wake up every morning exhausted and with physical pains. She said it all started when she got married to a man some years past. When she discovered that he was occultic and demonic, she ran away from the marriage, but the man vowed that he would never leave her alone. She had gone to so many places for solution all to no avail until she came for our deliverance service. After running her through series of intense deliverance, she was totally set free. Today, she has remarried and they are blessed with children. Another form of the strongman is the marine deity.

This power is usually introduced into families where their parents have been marine worshippers and a covenant has been established. The serpentine spirit is another form of the strongman. This could be a serpent under the water or an ancient serpent in a shrine where the family or community go to worship. It can manifest in your dream like seeing snakes around you. It could also come as a dragon or crocodile to attack or form a demonic protector around you.
