Do not open them in your life!
You will learn that there are many doorways of demonic activity. The devil uses every opportunity to enter your life in order to destroy it. Even if he does not accomplish that, at least his demons can be a ‘nuisance’ in your life. They can oppose every step you take, especially if this step is commanded by God. You must understand that once you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you enter into a battlefield that will last your whole life. I am sorry to have to say it this bluntly, but there simply is no easy way to tell this. It is a fact that once you are converted to Christ, your battle against the forces of darkness begins. We must, however, realize that not everybody will have the same measure of demonic attack in their lives. Why some people have stronger attacks and more frequent than others, is not always explainable. People coming out of the occult for example, are more prone to demonic attack after their conversion and subsequent delivery. But this is usually in their case, fairly normal, if we can categorize this as such. But, there are examples of people converted to Christ, who did not dabble into the occult who are being attacked quite ferociously. Sometimes we can trace this back to the ancestor line. Usually there was involvement in the occult or in freemasonry, but sometimes we cannot trace any occult activities and we are left ignorant of these entry points. But this is usually not the norm. God, through the Holy Spirit will more often reveal the source of demonic entrance than not
Doorways
- Involvement in the occult fortune telling (Num 22:7; 23:23 ; Deut. 18:1014; Micah 5:12 ), witchcraft (1 Sam 15:23 ; Deut 18:9-10; Exodus 22:18 ); Sorcery (Ex 7:11 -22; Lev 19:26 ; Deut 18:10 ; Isaiah 47:9 etc). and other forms of the occult such as the use of pendulums, objects, séances, crystal gazing, horoscopes, ouija board, parakinesis, Wicca, Satanism, mind control, Swedenborg, Levitation, Hypnotism,etc
- Taking forms of healing that are not Christian such as psychic healers, acupuncture, Bach Therapy, homoeopathy (many products are being prayed and enchanted on before reaching the stores), Hypnotic counseling, etc
- Participation of involvement in other religions such as Bahaism, Islam, Mormonism, New Age movement, Kababalah, etc
- Involvement in Freemasonry
- Heavy metal music, Rap music (listen to their lyrics), but also Modern Pop Music. Here I want to a word of caution: Listen to the lyrics, often these lyrics enhance Satan and diminish or even ridicule Christian values. Look also at pop stars and their lives. They are usually involved in the occult and therefore not sound for our children to listen to.
- Addictions such as alcoholism, drugs, cigarettes, even addiction to chocolate for example, is an addiction and can be a doorway for demons of addiction into one’s life.
- Active sin, unconfessed sin such as lying, stealing
- Breaking the Ten Commandments
- Implants (this is a future development that is becoming a reality very soon)
- Involvement in any cult such as the Jehova's Witness, Scientology, Christian Science,etc
- Computer games and other games such as Dungeons & Dragons, Halloween,
These are but a few of the many doorways to demonic activity
Other sources of demonic doorways can be places. Some places have a high demonic activity due to sins committed on those places in the past. In the America’s for example, we see a high demonic activity around native sacred grounds. People living upon these territories experience all kinds of diseases, accidents, and even demonic manifestations. In Europe, in Germany for example, many places are highly demonic, due to the sins committed by the Nazi’s whose very existence was based upon the occult. People living in this country are often influenced by evils spirits of hatred, discord and disharmony and ungodliness, which outworkings can often can be seen in the media. Tolerance in this country is extremely low, judges have a daytime job to settle all the dispute between neighbors, family members and the like. It is very sad indeed. The evil spirits of Nazidom have strongly influenced in a negative way the German people. This of course applies to all the countries that were invaded by them during WO II.
Looking into more sinister influences in Europe for example, we see the Romans, Vikings, and other ancient civilizations invading it from time to time. Each civilization brought its own demonic forces which now co-exist alongside all the others from the other invasion civilizations. These were paganistic religions whose gods were highly occult, whose gods demanded sacrifices often with blood. A good example of this were the Romans who were highly involved in blood sacrifices to appease their gods. Places were old Roman temples were built, are still prone to high demonic activity today. A lot of churches have been built on the ruins of old Roman temples. These churches suffer from spiritual poverty alongside all other imaginable maladies
We often encounter that places where these civilizations once settled are prone to poverty, loss of job, divorce, untimely deaths, high involvement in the occult, idolatry etc. Especially areas in which blood sacrifices or temples were built. In England for example, the high range of alcoholism can be traced back to the demonic entrance of the country’s first invaders, the Anglo Saxons. These were known to participate in drinking binges. Sad reality today is that many an English person has an alcohol problem. The English youth are known for their binge drinking behavior, often to the point of complete knock-out. All leftovers of their ancestral past. This is very sad....
Another good example of demonic doorways are the legacies in which many castles and other ancient properties are left with. Many an aristocrat was highly involved in the occult, usually freemasonry and alchemy. They always lacked funds due to their life-style and were therefore in constant need of money. Not so long ago, people believed that it was possible to make gold out of fluid. This was the task for the alchemist to perform. These people also manufactured a lot of poisons which were used to eliminate enemies. This of course has opened the doors to demonic activity within those places because alchemy is a highly occult activity. This is why many a visitor to those sites may encounter a demonic appearance manifesting itself in the appearance of the castle owners.
Let’s take a closer look at demonic manifestations within a person. A good example is a demon of bondage (Ex. 6:5, Ro 8:15 etc) which can enter into someone’s life through unrepeated sin or through extreme behavior such as extreme religion. But this evil spirit can also come down through generational sin, and be can thus inherited. A spirit of bondage can also enter a person through occupation. With this I mean, through forceful occupation such as kidnapping, high jacking etc. When a person experiences a traumatic event such as kidnapping, the person experiences extreme fear. However normal this may sound for us, the demonic world takes advantage of that moment and enters the person. You see, evil spirit never operate alone. An evil spirit of bondage can work together with an evil spirit of religion, fear, hatred, etc. One demon helps the other destroy a person. In this way they reinforce their stay and the keep the person imprisoned. Anther good example of a person suffering from evil spirits of bondage are people who where born into extreme religious families. We often see that with people involved in the Islamitic fundamentalists. These poor people suffer from demonic spirits of bondge alongside demons of hatred, murder and lies.
People who where highly involved with divination can open the doorways for such a spirit. it is not unusual for people who lay their cards for example to develop within time a form of divination. This is nothing less than a demon of divination entering that person due to his or her participation in that activity. These demons also come down the generational line. We often see that people with the so called gift of divination have ancestors who were highly involved within the occult. Demon of divination or demons that come from involvement within the occult are usually very strong. They never operate alone and you will usually find demons of blindness, lies and confusion alongside that demon. Why confusion you ask?
Demons of confusion blur the reality about Jesus, making you doubt Him and His work and His word. They often entice their victims into thinking that Satan will be victorious and thus negate the truth about Jesus. The heavier the involvement in the occult the stronger the demonic manifestation will be. Some people have even become ‘exorcized’ or ‘demon possessed’. This is usually a heavy form of demon possession in which manifestations such as poltergeist can happen. Usually the person's surroundings will experience strange phenomena, such as doors that slam or shut or even open wide spontaneously, or constant knocking up to the moving of objects without them even touching them.
Other sources for demonic doorways may be traumatic experiences in one's life such as rejection, use of drugs, an accident etc. We often encounter demons of rejection for example, co-existing alongside other demons of bondage, addiction depression, pride, pain, low self esteem, hatred rebellion, criminal activity etc. Please be aware that the reasons for demonic activity that have been listed above, whether it is in a country or in a person, can differ from place to place and from person to person. It must be looked at individually. We must be careful not to generalize, every situation every person and every area within a country may differ and most probably will differ.
