Overcoming the giants in your father’s house

Text: Matthew 12:29; Isaiah 44:25

Every family has an evil giant that the enemy has placed there. He is the strongman of the family. In Matthew 12:29, Jesus acknowledges the existence of a strongman in a house. He is the principality there: that is the one in-charge. He is the principal demon or ruler spirit in that family. He gives order and maintains the status quo in the family. He controls the familiar spirit who is the minister of information in the family. The familiar spirit keeps family records and history and releases it to witch doctors and false prophets, which they use to prophesy to you. Most times people wonder how they get to know so much about them. These evil powers in the family raise and recruit people with witchcraft spirit to execute their evil agenda. May every witchcraft in your family receive the fire of judgement today in Jesus’ name.

Again, the strongman is the gatekeeper of the family. He controls what comes in and what goes out. He also determines the time of every activity. In a family, for instance, the strongman could decide that there will be no payment of bride price. It is seen as contraband. So, if a suitor is coming for a bride in that family, the strongman will not open for him in the spirit realm. The powers can stir up some problems to chase the suitor away physically. If he tries to go against them without a spiritual understanding of what is on ground, they could kill him. This explains why some ladies could suffer series of disappointments in relationship and even death of suitors. In some other cases, the gatekeeper could allow marriage, but determines a certain age before they open the door. In such families people may only get married after 50 years of age or more. For some others, people struggle till old age before tasting of a little wealth, while some make it early in life but gradually lose everything. The gatekeepers can also decide that no male child is born into the family and sometimes cause a general delay in child bearing. You must rise against them.

Ps. 24:6-10 says, we are a generation that seek the face of God to put an end to this evil. They are ancient powers that have existed unchallenged. They are everlasting doors that have shut out the glory of men. But as we rise against them, backed up by our God who is Mighty in battle, the heads of the people will be lifted up in Jesus’ name. May every demonic gatekeeper of your father’s house be replaced, today, by God’s angel of light.

Understand that in some cases, our grandfathers invited these demonic gatekeepers into the family in a bid to get protection for the family. Some of you are under protection, but it is not from God. It is a demonic being/presence that follows you about, but it also prevents you from getting your breakthrough in life. Your grandfathers brought them in ignorance to protect the family from untimely death.

And so, there was a demonic trade by barter to give long life in exchange for poverty, delayed breakthrough and non-achievement. If one man introduced these evil gatemen, another man can dislodge them and replace them with the angels of God. You can stand as an authority figure for your family today (Deut. 30:19).
