Beware, ghosts are demons in disguise. Do not be ignorant of satan’s devices, nor allow yourself to be taken in by his lies.
You need to understand that satan has mastered the art of deception. And his modus operandi are to steal, kill and destroy humans. (See John 10:10)
And because he is aware that Humans are special to God and Believers are divinely protected: satan seeks for ways to make humans break the hedge of protection around them. (See Ecclesiastes 10:8)
When we sin, we break the hedge of protection, and allow satan the serpent to bite. (See Genesis 3:1,15 ; Revelation 12:9, 20:2)
How do we commit sin?:
We sin against God when we do what His Word says not to do
In the Bible, Sin is defined as :
- Transgressions of the law” (See 1John 3:4)
- Rebellion against God (See Deuteronomy 9:7, Joshua 1:18)
Sin was precisely what happened at the Garden of Eden. Mother Eve and father Adam fell for satan’s deception through his force of persuasive arguments, and disobeyed God’s Word. (See Genesis chapters 2 and 3)
Although what happened after that is history, the reality is that those who live in sin, as in ‘keep committing sin’, open up themselves for demon activities against them, even though they are born again.
Does God prohibit interacting with ghosts? Absolutely!
The Bible clearly says –
“There shall not be found among you … one that useth divination, a soothsayer, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or one that consulteth a ghost or a familiar spirit, or a necromancer. For whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto the LORD” (See Deuteronomy. 18:10-12; JPS Tanakh 1917).
What are ghosts?
Ghosts are demon spirits who are familiar with a particular environment or family.
Because ‘familial’ spirits have been in a family or environment far longer than even the humans, they are ‘familiar’ with the history of the family and the environment as well. And so are able to mimic or impersonate family members.
Most “People are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6) You have a responsibility to study your Bible regularly, and to understand what God’s will for you is.
If ghosts are demons, what are demons?
Demons are terrestrial bodiless evil spirits, who because of their affinity with humans, seek to possess the human body where possible.
And when possession is not possible, demons live in close proximity to humans. As foot soldiers of satan, demons can only function on the earthly plane.
Who is satan?
Satan is known by many names and titles. Earlier, we read about him as the serpent who deceives the whole world (See Revelation 12:9) And he us also known as the accuser of our brethren (See Revelation 12:10)
The Bible further reveal that satan runs a parallel government against God, which is known as the “kingdom of darkness”.(See Colossians 1:13)
Even though satan is wise, he is not the Omniscient that God is. Therefore, he counterfeits everything in the kingdom of God in order to deceive the saints into false worship.
One such counterfeit is the ‘unholy ghosts’ which is a cheap imitation of God’s Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost.
That is why as unholy ghosts and the devil’s agents on assignment, demons disguised as ghosts, haunt either abandoned or inhabited homes and
other places where humans visit or congregate.
Understand that the appearances of ghosts in or around you, is aimed to entice you into talking with them. And to eventual worship of satan through his human agents- the mediums.
If you interact with ghosts, whether disguised as your dead relatives or not, you are communicating with the dead. Which is necromancy, and is abominable to God.
Such sinful behavior breaks your hedge of protection, leaving you open for demonic attacks.
Be wise my friend.
Should I fear ghosts/demons?
Absolutely no! “Fear has torment”. (See 1John 4:18)
What you fear will always torment you but what you confront will disappear.
Although ignorance brings suffering,
knowledge brings deliverance (See Hosea 4:6; Proverbs 11:9)
People fear what they do not understand. You are now enlightened that those ghosts haunting your house are your NOT your dead relatives.
So, stop listening to contrary voices or arguments that will entice you to go seek mediums. Which will further complicate your problems.
Instead, confront the demons behind the ghosts and command them to leave at once.
You Got this:
Have faith in God:
If you are born again, you are a child of God and “Every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith” (See 1 John 5:4).
Acknowledge your sins:
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is none us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:8-9 MEV)
Use your authority:
“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.” (See Luke 10:19, NASB1995)
With your authority in the name of Jesus Christ, command to go at once to the feet of Jesus, all the evil demonic spirits mimicking your dead loved ones.
Search and destroy:
Ask the Holy Spirit to point you to heirlooms or whatever could have given demons rights to your home.
(Apply the principle of Psalm 139:23-24)
Then burn them (See Acts 19:19)
Bless you home prophetically:
“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God”. (1Peter 4:11)
Say what you want to experience in your home. Major on the positive.
Finally:
“Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour” (See 1 Peter 5:8).
“Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith” (See 1 Peter 5:9).
WARFARE PRAYERS:
ABBA Dad, thank You for the gift of your Holy Spirit who lives in us and works with us.
We plead the speaking blood of Jesus Christ over our homes and stand against the forces of evil that are intruding into our lives and homes.
We confess as sin; disobedience, the bringing in of cursed objects into our homes, occult involvement such as consulting with mediums, channellers, diviners, and necromancers. As well as other related sinful activities.
We know that you are faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us from every unrighteousness, in accordance with your Word.
We ask Father that you conduct a search and point us to any object(s) or person(s) who links these foul spirits to us.
We sever our ties to all such objects and persons and reaffirm our faith in you our God and Father.
We command all evil spirits to get off our lives and property now, and go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ, and never come back under any guise or disguise; to torment, oppress, depress, vex, intimidate, manipulate, control or obsess us.
We are God’s Children and have no communion with satan and the forces of evils.
We refuse to give liberties to satan in our world, in our homes and in our lives.
Our homes belong to God: and by this prayer we consecrate everything we are, and own, to the Almighty God in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
We are holy unto God and therefore nothing unholy can come near us.
Thank You ABBA Dad for perfecting all that concerns us and setting us apart for Your use, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amein.
Conclusion:
Never forget that satan’s demon spirits masquerade as ghosts (unholy ghosts) in order to deceive humans into occult-involvement, to make them abominable to God.
And also to make humans open for demonic torment, oppression, intimidation, manipulation and control. Making it easy “to steal, kill and destroy” humans. (See John 10:10)
But when you know and understand that the devil is at the back of every evil, you would stand firm against him with your shield of faith, to confront and unmask him in defeat. Praise God.
