HANDOUT CLEANSING YOUR HOME OF ENEMY STRONGHOLDS
Compiled, Written, & Taught by Sue Fernandez and Last Revised 06.01.22
Qualifying Statement: Following are items that we have either personally experienced as giving license to the enemy, or have heard about from people that we have worked with. These things may or may not affect you, but ask the Holy Spirit to show you what is in your home that keeps you from having a Haven from the Enemy. Remember the goal is a peaceful Holy-Spirit filled home, that yields good fruit in the lives of the family members (e.g. no fearfulness, little to no contention, no nightmares, healthy bodies and minds, etc.). To us, there is nothing that is worth a lack of peace, joy, and harmony in our home and in the lives of our children and us. [That said, we would love it if you share your experiences with us as you take this journey into finding the full freedom that Jesus died for – not only in your homes, but also in your lives. ]
I want to preface this teaching by making a very clear statement that we sometimes do not think about in today’s world:
GOD DOES NOT WINK AT SIN!
Why is this statement so important? Because we, as Children of God, have let our standards slip when we are behind closed doors. Many think nothing of watching movies or television with demonic horror, fornication, homosexuality, foul-language, violence, drunkenness, etc. Know that you will be held accountable for the things you allow your eyes to see and your ears to hear, and even more so when we allow our children or teens to be within earshot/eyeshot of these things and/or even allow them to watch along with us. Question: Would you allow your neighbors to come in and fornicate on your living room floor while you and your children watched? If not, then why do you allow that (and other such things) on your living room television?
We turn now to cleansing our homes of strongholds for a number of reasons. First, we want our homes to be pure, sanctified, holy places of rest for us from the world. Cleansing is an important first step in the process of getting the enemy out of our lives. Often we as Children of God do not realize that we have actually given the enemy a right to be in our homes. We can “invite” the enemy in and/or or give the enemy “license” to be there by the things we have allowed in our homes.
There are a few ways that you can tell if the enemy has infiltrated your home.
Below is a list of some of the many things that will attract the enemy to your home & allow him license to be there. Our recommendation is that you get rid of these things by burning what you can & breaking what you cannot. Acts 19:18-19.
If you find yourself doubting that this will make a difference, we recommend that you gather the items that the Holy Spirit brings to your attention, bag them up, and put them out in your garage or yard as a test. You will soon see and feel a difference in your home, as confirmation that this concept is true and real.
When you start the cleansing process, ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to the objects that need to go. He will then give you sensitivity to discern and also often lead you to things you did not even know you had.
Sometimes you will not be sure whether you should get rid of something or not. You may even sense that you should get rid of something, but you cannot understand why that would be. These are things to put in a bag and take out of the house. Once your house is completely clean and you feel that peace and light that was missing from your home, THEN after a season, you can bring those things back into your home one by one. As you do this, you will be able to test to see if peace remains - or not.
Our simple motto is: IF IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT!
To our way of thinking, there is nothing material in this world that is worth keeping at the expense of having the demonic harass and torment us or our children.
Thank you, Father, for leading us to this knowledge. Help those who begin this journey to listen to Your Holy Spirit’s leading them to freedom in cleansing their homes of strongholds of the enemy. Give them the grace they need in order to obey You.
WHAT, WHY, & HOW TO CLEANSE YOUR HOME
“When you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium (one who consults familiar spirits), or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord, and because of these detestable things, the Lord your God will drive them out before you. You shall be blameless before the Lord your God. For those nations, which you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice witchcraft and to diviners, but as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do so.” Deuteronomy 18:9-14
Some of the following are items that will actually attract demonic activity and give demonic forces a point of connection (meaning - license or legal right) to enter your home and/or life. Some are items that simply do not bring glory to Jesus Christ.
The MAIN THING is to ask the Lord to help you, and His Holy Spirit will be faithful to guide you to everything that is in your home that should not be.
Again, when you find these articles, ideally they should be burned, if at all possible (based on the verse below). If they cannot be burned, then smash them and dispose of them.
“Many also of those who had believed kept coming, confessing, and disclosing their practices. And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So the word of the Lord was growing mightily and prevailing.” Acts 19:18-19

SOME EXPLANATIONS FOR CLEANSING YOUR HOME OF ENEMY STRONGHOLDS
Amber Teething Necklace: The use of this necklace is controversial, and many believe it to have healing potential when it comes to teething babies. From what we have seen personally, it actually appears to be connected to witchcraft as revealed by the Holy Spirit. (See Testimony.)
Barbie Dolls: Cause lust in children. In fact, Barbie has been known to be a favorite “toy” of perverse men.
Care Bears: Similarities with Voodoo practices.
Circle Maker: http://beginningandend.com/the-circle-maker-heresy-witchcraft-in-the-church/
Harry Potter: See Why Not Harry Potter?
Hello Kitty: See Why Not Hello Kitty?
Jesus Calling: What this author talks about and elevates sounds much like what is called “channeling” from the spiritual realm. This is something often done by religious leaders of Hinduism, Buddhism, and other such religions/practices. Caution is advised in pursuing the reading of this book.
Idols: “The graven images of their gods you shall burn with fire, you shall not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to the Lord your God. Neither shall you bring an abomination (an idol) into your house, lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to the Lord your God.” Deuteronomy 7:25-26
Incense: Be careful with where your incense originates. Much of it is made (and sold) by cults.
Music: Watch They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll or Hell’s Bells (both available on Amazon for rent or purchase).
Objects/Books from false religions: Demons are definitely attracted by objects and literature that pertain to false religions, cults, witchcraft in all forms, and Satanism. If at all possible, all such material should be burned (and do not be surprised if it does not burn easily) or otherwise destroyed.
Owls and Frogs: These are classified among the creatures mentioned in Deuteronomy 14:7-19 as being unclean and abominable. Owls are also frequently used in occult religions including Shamanism, Native Americans, witchcraft, sorcery, etc. Owls are also the major symbol of the Bohemian Club, and the demon goddess Lilith is shown as an owl.
Peace Signs: See: Why Not Peace Signs?
Pokémon:
45 are DARK 41 are DRAGONS
36 are FAIRIES 45 are FIGHTING
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_National_Pok%C3%A9dex_number
Shamrocks: Traditionally, the shamrock is said to have been used by Saint Patrick to illustrate the Christian doctrine of the Trinity when Christianizing Ireland in the 5th century. However, it should be emphasized that nowhere in any writings of St. Patrick himself, or in any of the later accounts of the saint's life by other authors, is there any mention of the shamrock. Therefore, the tradition that he used the shamrock to teach the Holy Trinity is probably false. Shamrocks are known to be used for “luck.”
Signs and Symbols: See: Symbols and Meanings.
Teletubbies: www.crossroad.to/text/articles/teletubbies10-99.html
Twilight*: See: Why Not Twilight?
More explanations: Glean from this site. (You may not agree with everything but tuck these things in the back of your mind, even if you do not initially agree with what is said.) www.demonbuster.com/housecu2.html
WHY NOT HARRY POTTER?
The following definition is taken from Wikipedia. The definition itself should tell us this is not of the Lord and is of Satan. “Harry James Potter is the title character and main protagonist of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The majority of the books' plots cover seven years in the life of the orphan Potter who, on his eleventh birthday, learns he is a wizard. Thus, he attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to practice magic under the guidance of the kindly headmaster Albus Dumbledore and other school professors. Harry also discovers that he is already famous throughout the novel's magical community, and that his fate is tied with that of Lord Voldemort, the nationally feared Dark Wizard and murderer of his mother and father.”
THOUGHTS
WHY NOT HELLO KITTY?
There is some pretty raunchy stuff on this subject - anything from songs (Blood On The Dance Floor – I Heart Hello Kitty lyrics) to “toys” (look up Hello Kitty + Sex, if you are interested), etc. Honestly, I did not need to go too far into this to see that there is something seriously wrong. And I would HIGHLY recommend you not go any further than you have to – to convince yourself that this is not of God. Note: Anytime the public is obsessed with something, it should be a red flag. There are even grown women who have obsessions with Hello Kitty paraphernalia.

OTHER THOUGHTS ON HELLO KITTY
Testimony 1: On a personal level, the only people I’ve met that like Hello Kitty don’t just like it; they are obsessed with it. And there’s a weird catlike spirit (that I have seen) that comes with it, and it isn’t good.
Testimony 2: I finally had to tell my mom that we don’t “do” Hello Kitty. My daughter has been SO much better, since we got rid of the few Hello Kitty items that she had. And people, it only takes ONE item. You are better off with NO Hello Kitty at all. Since getting rid of Hello Kitty, I feel free and I see a huge change in my daughter’s behavior. It has changed our lives. I notice that people with Hello Kitty have big lust issues, whether they admit it or not.
Testimony 3: I was hospitalized for a week for severe head pain. After many tests and scans, the doctors could find nothing wrong with me. You recommended that we go through and cleanse our homes and you specifically mentioned the possibility of having Hello Kitty objects, since I have granddaughters. Sure enough, we had a lot of Hello Kitty items. I got rid of them right away and as soon as I did, the sharp head pain began dissipating and eventually disappeared.
WHY NOT PEACE SIGNS?

WHY NOT TWILIGHT?
Pray about this one. Charm bracelets may not necessarily be bad, but ask The Holy Spirit. The first charm bracelets were worn by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, and Hittites and began appearing from 600 – 400 BC. The wearing of charms may have begun as a form of amulet or talisman to ward off evil spirits or bad luck. (Taken from info at:

WHY NOT CHILDREN’S BOOK OF DEMONS?
(This is just an example of the types of things that can happen to your child if he or she is involved in reading, watching, listening to, or playing with Satanic materials. This is NOT intended to make anyone fearful, but rather to help us to be wise and connect the dots between unusual and even perhaps unacceptable behavior in children TO the possibility that they are involved in something that you may not be aware of. Even the most seemingly benign things can have satanic infiltration. Example: Dora throws up the Illuminati sign…)
Description by author for A Children’s Book of Demons: “Don’t want to take out the trash tonight? Maybe you’re swimming in homework? Perhaps that big bully is being a real drag? Well grab your colored pencils and sigil drawing skills and dial up some demons! This paranormal parody is filled to the brim with funny spirits more silly than scary!”

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON CLEANSING YOUR HOME OF ENEMY STRONGHOLDS
There is another way you can have demons in your home and that is if they “ride in” on someone who visits. So if you are having activity, ask the Lord to reveal any object giving license. If after 24 hours nothing has been revealed, then simply command the demon(s) to leave your home and go to Jesus to be dealt with. They do not have license to be there and they will leave instantly.
Yet another way to have demons in your home is if someone who lives in your home has demons. Often it will be a non-Christian (perhaps an unsaved spouse). In this case, you can ask the Lord on a daily basis to stop all demons at the door and not allow them to enter in with that person. This is generally an effective way to deal with the demons in someone you live with.
There are several testimonies given in the book I wrote: Deliverance For Christians (Level One) Claiming Your Freedom In Christ. Here is an additional testimony that has come up more in recent years.
Cleansing the Home of Amber Teething Necklace Young Christian Couple: Wife: Our baby was teething and very miserable. I had heard about the amber teething necklace as a solution for the pain of teething and decided to give it a try. When my husband saw the necklace on our son, he immediately reacted through his gift of discernment and told me that I should take it off of our son because it was connected to witchcraft. I didn’t believe him, and we even argued about it. I will add at this point, that once my husband brought it to my attention, the Holy Spirit continued letting me know that something was not right with it. But I still did not take it off. I defended the necklace because I was thinking there was no way it could have been connected to witchcraft. Then a day or two later, our baby came down with a fever of 103 degrees and was miserable. After that, I also got a fever! In retrospect, I was able to discern that I got the fever too because I was the one who put the necklace on our son – and probably also because I did not listen to my husband’s discernment. Once I got the fever, I took the necklace off, renounced witchcraft, and took back the ground that was given to the enemy when I put it on our son. He has been totally fine ever since. He just got his second tooth without my even realizing it. He had little to no discomfort. Praise God!
PRAYER TO CLEANSE YOUR HOME AND CAST OUT DEMONS
After all ungodly objects have been removed from your home, modify this prayer to fit for whatever area you have jurisdiction over.
Note: No one has greater authority to pray over your home than those who live there, and most of all - the husband/father. If there is no husband/father in the home, then the head of household can do this. In the case where this is a woman, I would encourage asking a Christian grandfather or other male relative/male spiritual covering to join you as you pray, especially if you have known demonic activity.
Father, in Jesus’ name, I take the authority over this home and land that You have given as a blessing to my family and me. I first of all repent for knowingly or unknowingly allowing objects into this home that gave the enemy license to build strongholds here. I specifically repent for (Let the Holy Spirit Guide You). I ask for and receive Your forgiveness and thank You for Your love, grace, and mercy over this family.
I also choose to stand in the gap for those who owned this house and land before we did. I confess, repent of, and ask your forgiveness for all sins that were committed here. Specifically, I repent of all sexual sins. I repent for any sins of abuse (sexual, physical, spiritual, verbal, and/or emotional). I repent of any murder or rituals that were performed on this ground or any blood that was shed. (Continue on as the Spirit leads, confessing any sins He brings to mind.)
I ask that You cleanse and cover this home and all of its contents with the blood of Jesus Christ. I consecrate this home and everything in it to You. I command all demonic spirits to remove yourselves from this place and go to Jesus to be dealt with. You are forbidden to return or go anywhere else. This includes all spirits of lust, fornication, adultery, pornography, perversion, and homosexuality, (Continue to list any the Lord brings to mind…). Father, we as a family claim that: by the wisdom You give us, this house will be built; by the understanding You give us, this house will be established; and by the knowledge You give us, the rooms will be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. We claim this ground as Holy Ground, consecrated to You and You alone.
Note: At some point along the way, you can use anointing oil to anoint the gateways (doors and windows) with oil, as an outward sign of consecrating your home to God. I personally apply the oil to the same areas that Israel applied the blood of the lamb (top and two sides). This is not necessary; it is just what I like to do. (See section on Anointing Oils in Deliverance for Christians Level 1 book.)
Thank You, Father. We ask that You seal everything done today with the blood of Jesus Christ. In His name we pray, Amen.
Note: If you only have jurisdiction over a room or even half of a room, then an added step is necessary.
Father, in Jesus’ name, I ask that you cordon off my area of jurisdiction and forbid any demonic spirits to cross the line into my domain. I claim the area that I live in as Holy ground, consecrated to You. I ask that You send angels to surround and guard me and my areas. I ask that all demonic spirits be forbidden from entering from here forward, as long as I abide in this place. Amen.
Compiled, Written, & Taught by Sue Fernandez and Last Revised 06.01.22
Qualifying Statement: Following are items that we have either personally experienced as giving license to the enemy, or have heard about from people that we have worked with. These things may or may not affect you, but ask the Holy Spirit to show you what is in your home that keeps you from having a Haven from the Enemy. Remember the goal is a peaceful Holy-Spirit filled home, that yields good fruit in the lives of the family members (e.g. no fearfulness, little to no contention, no nightmares, healthy bodies and minds, etc.). To us, there is nothing that is worth a lack of peace, joy, and harmony in our home and in the lives of our children and us. [That said, we would love it if you share your experiences with us as you take this journey into finding the full freedom that Jesus died for – not only in your homes, but also in your lives. ]
I want to preface this teaching by making a very clear statement that we sometimes do not think about in today’s world:
GOD DOES NOT WINK AT SIN!
Why is this statement so important? Because we, as Children of God, have let our standards slip when we are behind closed doors. Many think nothing of watching movies or television with demonic horror, fornication, homosexuality, foul-language, violence, drunkenness, etc. Know that you will be held accountable for the things you allow your eyes to see and your ears to hear, and even more so when we allow our children or teens to be within earshot/eyeshot of these things and/or even allow them to watch along with us. Question: Would you allow your neighbors to come in and fornicate on your living room floor while you and your children watched? If not, then why do you allow that (and other such things) on your living room television?
We turn now to cleansing our homes of strongholds for a number of reasons. First, we want our homes to be pure, sanctified, holy places of rest for us from the world. Cleansing is an important first step in the process of getting the enemy out of our lives. Often we as Children of God do not realize that we have actually given the enemy a right to be in our homes. We can “invite” the enemy in and/or or give the enemy “license” to be there by the things we have allowed in our homes.
There are a few ways that you can tell if the enemy has infiltrated your home.
- If anyone has nightmares.
- If anyone has fears, especially of the dark (even children). We tend to think it is “normal” for children to fear the dark, but it is not. If they fear the dark, it is because there are demonic forces there that the child is sensing. Demons of fear actually project fear and children are often more sensitive than adults in picking up on that. Take your child seriously if he is telling you that he sees or senses things or that he fears “something.”
- If there is contention amongst family members or people that live in the home.
Below is a list of some of the many things that will attract the enemy to your home & allow him license to be there. Our recommendation is that you get rid of these things by burning what you can & breaking what you cannot. Acts 19:18-19.
If you find yourself doubting that this will make a difference, we recommend that you gather the items that the Holy Spirit brings to your attention, bag them up, and put them out in your garage or yard as a test. You will soon see and feel a difference in your home, as confirmation that this concept is true and real.
When you start the cleansing process, ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to the objects that need to go. He will then give you sensitivity to discern and also often lead you to things you did not even know you had.
Sometimes you will not be sure whether you should get rid of something or not. You may even sense that you should get rid of something, but you cannot understand why that would be. These are things to put in a bag and take out of the house. Once your house is completely clean and you feel that peace and light that was missing from your home, THEN after a season, you can bring those things back into your home one by one. As you do this, you will be able to test to see if peace remains - or not.
Our simple motto is: IF IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT!
To our way of thinking, there is nothing material in this world that is worth keeping at the expense of having the demonic harass and torment us or our children.
Thank you, Father, for leading us to this knowledge. Help those who begin this journey to listen to Your Holy Spirit’s leading them to freedom in cleansing their homes of strongholds of the enemy. Give them the grace they need in order to obey You.
WHAT, WHY, & HOW TO CLEANSE YOUR HOME
“When you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium (one who consults familiar spirits), or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord, and because of these detestable things, the Lord your God will drive them out before you. You shall be blameless before the Lord your God. For those nations, which you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice witchcraft and to diviners, but as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do so.” Deuteronomy 18:9-14
Some of the following are items that will actually attract demonic activity and give demonic forces a point of connection (meaning - license or legal right) to enter your home and/or life. Some are items that simply do not bring glory to Jesus Christ.
The MAIN THING is to ask the Lord to help you, and His Holy Spirit will be faithful to guide you to everything that is in your home that should not be.
Again, when you find these articles, ideally they should be burned, if at all possible (based on the verse below). If they cannot be burned, then smash them and dispose of them.
“Many also of those who had believed kept coming, confessing, and disclosing their practices. And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So the word of the Lord was growing mightily and prevailing.” Acts 19:18-19
Note: The below lists are not exhaustive. There are many other similar items that are not listed.
Wherever you see an asterisk (*) below, you will find expounded information in the following pages.
ATTIRE
- Clothes with: Fire skulls, dragons, swear words, bad slogans (Lost, No Fear, No Rules); anything that represents death (mummies, bloody figures, etc.); women that draw attention sexually; Hello Kitty* (has some sexual manifestations and is known to bring a spirit of lust to people, even to little children); anything with Harry Potter, Twilight, etc. on it; Obey brand clothing; possibly paisley prints (paisley originated as an expression of the essence of Zoroastrianism); Yoga and other New Age symbols.
- Designer brands: Many designer brands are rooted in the motivation of obtaining fame and fortune – the very thing Satan also wants. So be sure to investigate any designer brands you may have or are thinking of purchasing - to see where the roots are. Below are a couple of examples of things you may not want to support.
- Louis Vuitton: They worked with the Nazis. They got some of their design ideas using a Japanese design called ‘Mon’ that is used in guilds, military, etc.
- Gucci: A lot of greed, lies, deceit, manipulation, adultery, and even murder (Mrs. Gucci had Mr. Gucci murdered after he left her for another woman.) But the company survived and thrived, although none of the original owners are connected to it anymore.
- Versace: Logo is the head of Medusa (the woman with snakes for hair). Gianni Versace chose Medusa as the logo because she made people fall in love with her and they had no way back.
- Michael Kors: Gay, Gay marriage.

MUSIC
- We recommend watching They Sold Their Souls for Rock & Roll or Hell’s Bells, available at Amazon to rent or purchase.
- The below list are mostly older groups, but based on this, you can ascertain what current groups fall into this same category. Let’s be aware that many musicians are known to be demon-possessed and/or to tap into the occult to make their music, including having the words and music channeled to them from the dark side. Many have literally sold their souls to Satan in order to be successful. Generally, if you really listen to the lyrics of the songs, it is easy to tell if they glorify God - or Satan and the flesh.
- We highly recommend you get rid of all music from musicians who are known to have involved the satanic in their music and repent of your involvement with this music, even though you may not have known it was evil.
- We also HIGHLY recommend that you ask God to cancel any words that you have sung over yourself as you listened to ungodly music, because this would be the same as word-cursing yourself – if the things you sung were of an ungodly nature and not something you would really want to happen to you.
- After you have repented and asked God to cancel the words, ask Him to take back the ground that you gave to the enemy, and break the strongholds from your soul.
- Be attentive to the Holy Spirit even after this, as He may bring up other things related to the music that you will want to repent for and ask Him to cancel the effects of.
- Note: This list is not exhaustive, as new groups are constantly forming. This list was compiled in 2014.

SOME EXPLANATIONS FOR CLEANSING YOUR HOME OF ENEMY STRONGHOLDS
Amber Teething Necklace: The use of this necklace is controversial, and many believe it to have healing potential when it comes to teething babies. From what we have seen personally, it actually appears to be connected to witchcraft as revealed by the Holy Spirit. (See Testimony.)
Barbie Dolls: Cause lust in children. In fact, Barbie has been known to be a favorite “toy” of perverse men.
Care Bears: Similarities with Voodoo practices.
Circle Maker: http://beginningandend.com/the-circle-maker-heresy-witchcraft-in-the-church/
Harry Potter: See Why Not Harry Potter?
Hello Kitty: See Why Not Hello Kitty?
Jesus Calling: What this author talks about and elevates sounds much like what is called “channeling” from the spiritual realm. This is something often done by religious leaders of Hinduism, Buddhism, and other such religions/practices. Caution is advised in pursuing the reading of this book.
Idols: “The graven images of their gods you shall burn with fire, you shall not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to the Lord your God. Neither shall you bring an abomination (an idol) into your house, lest you be ensnared by it; for it is an abomination to the Lord your God.” Deuteronomy 7:25-26
Incense: Be careful with where your incense originates. Much of it is made (and sold) by cults.
Music: Watch They Sold Their Souls for Rock and Roll or Hell’s Bells (both available on Amazon for rent or purchase).
Objects/Books from false religions: Demons are definitely attracted by objects and literature that pertain to false religions, cults, witchcraft in all forms, and Satanism. If at all possible, all such material should be burned (and do not be surprised if it does not burn easily) or otherwise destroyed.
Owls and Frogs: These are classified among the creatures mentioned in Deuteronomy 14:7-19 as being unclean and abominable. Owls are also frequently used in occult religions including Shamanism, Native Americans, witchcraft, sorcery, etc. Owls are also the major symbol of the Bohemian Club, and the demon goddess Lilith is shown as an owl.
Peace Signs: See: Why Not Peace Signs?
Pokémon:
- Testimony: When our children were elementary age, they came home with Pokémon cards from their neighbor friends. We did not think much about it until our son (age 6) mentioned that one of the cards was called Sikic - or so he thought. I was not sure I had heard him correctly, so I asked him again & he repeated himself. I thought...hmmm...that sounds strangely like "psychic." Upon further investigation, I found out that was exactly what it was. Here’s what we found: Out of 719 characters:
45 are DARK 41 are DRAGONS
36 are FAIRIES 45 are FIGHTING
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_National_Pok%C3%A9dex_number
Shamrocks: Traditionally, the shamrock is said to have been used by Saint Patrick to illustrate the Christian doctrine of the Trinity when Christianizing Ireland in the 5th century. However, it should be emphasized that nowhere in any writings of St. Patrick himself, or in any of the later accounts of the saint's life by other authors, is there any mention of the shamrock. Therefore, the tradition that he used the shamrock to teach the Holy Trinity is probably false. Shamrocks are known to be used for “luck.”
Signs and Symbols: See: Symbols and Meanings.
Teletubbies: www.crossroad.to/text/articles/teletubbies10-99.html
Twilight*: See: Why Not Twilight?
More explanations: Glean from this site. (You may not agree with everything but tuck these things in the back of your mind, even if you do not initially agree with what is said.) www.demonbuster.com/housecu2.html
WHY NOT HARRY POTTER?
The following definition is taken from Wikipedia. The definition itself should tell us this is not of the Lord and is of Satan. “Harry James Potter is the title character and main protagonist of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The majority of the books' plots cover seven years in the life of the orphan Potter who, on his eleventh birthday, learns he is a wizard. Thus, he attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to practice magic under the guidance of the kindly headmaster Albus Dumbledore and other school professors. Harry also discovers that he is already famous throughout the novel's magical community, and that his fate is tied with that of Lord Voldemort, the nationally feared Dark Wizard and murderer of his mother and father.”
THOUGHTS
- “There shall not be found among you anyone who…practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls upon the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the LORD, and because of these abominations the LORD your God drives them out from before you. You shall be blameless before the LORD your God. For these nations, which you will dispossess, listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not appointed such for you.” Deuteronomy 18:10-14
- Testimony on Harry Potter from a Former Witch:
- How to cast spells; information about Witchcraft, Wiccan; etc. are found prevalently on the Internet. If you have allowed Harry Potter into your home, do not think your children are not being tempted - and perhaps succumbing to that temptation - to check out this type of website.
- Recently in doing some research for the Level 2 book, I was on a Witchcraft/Wiccan site (not recommended unless led by the Holy Spirit) and was interested to see that they had an entire section dedicated to the spells in the Harry Potter books. This gives validity to the fact that those are real spells in the books, and your children are reading them – thereby knowingly or unknowingly dabbling in witchcraft practices. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelation 2:29
WHY NOT HELLO KITTY?
There is some pretty raunchy stuff on this subject - anything from songs (Blood On The Dance Floor – I Heart Hello Kitty lyrics) to “toys” (look up Hello Kitty + Sex, if you are interested), etc. Honestly, I did not need to go too far into this to see that there is something seriously wrong. And I would HIGHLY recommend you not go any further than you have to – to convince yourself that this is not of God. Note: Anytime the public is obsessed with something, it should be a red flag. There are even grown women who have obsessions with Hello Kitty paraphernalia.

OTHER THOUGHTS ON HELLO KITTY
- Spirits of lust and perversion are attached to Hello Kitty, since it is being used a lot in pornography and other sexually abusive things. They are making “adult” Hello Kitty products, and some Hello Kitty products are associated with death.
- Anytime people are obsessed with something, we need to look behind the object to see how the enemy is playing into it. Hello Kitty, Harry Potter, Twilight, Pokémon, etc. have all had their times of being obsessively desired by people. The Pokémon generation is also the same generation that bought into Harry Potter and then Twilight and now Shades of Grey. We will be seeing something like this with each new generation as enemy darkness continues to try to take over.
- Sex Kitten (Beta) is one form of programming for people who are being mind-controlled. Hello Kitty paraphernalia is sometimes used to identify these people to those looking for sex slaves. (See more on this in Deliverance For Christians Level 3.)
Testimony 1: On a personal level, the only people I’ve met that like Hello Kitty don’t just like it; they are obsessed with it. And there’s a weird catlike spirit (that I have seen) that comes with it, and it isn’t good.
Testimony 2: I finally had to tell my mom that we don’t “do” Hello Kitty. My daughter has been SO much better, since we got rid of the few Hello Kitty items that she had. And people, it only takes ONE item. You are better off with NO Hello Kitty at all. Since getting rid of Hello Kitty, I feel free and I see a huge change in my daughter’s behavior. It has changed our lives. I notice that people with Hello Kitty have big lust issues, whether they admit it or not.
Testimony 3: I was hospitalized for a week for severe head pain. After many tests and scans, the doctors could find nothing wrong with me. You recommended that we go through and cleanse our homes and you specifically mentioned the possibility of having Hello Kitty objects, since I have granddaughters. Sure enough, we had a lot of Hello Kitty items. I got rid of them right away and as soon as I did, the sharp head pain began dissipating and eventually disappeared.
WHY NOT PEACE SIGNS?
Considerations Regarding the Peace Sign
- Peace Signs are said to have originated with a cult as semaphore signals for N and D to stand for Nuclear Disarmament. Members of the cult would be required to go through ritual abuse before they were allowed to wear the sign. N and D in a circle is now called a Peace Sign.
- On investigation, a similar sign was found in Nero’s day (54-68 AD) and it was called “Nero’s Cross.” You can find this picture on the Internet.
- In The Middle Ages, the “Nero Cross” was used in satanic rituals.
- Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) promoted the use of the peace sign during his involvement with a secret society advocating a New World Order.
- “Russell’s [Bertrand] primary interest in the [peace] symbol is - it is a symbol of defeat, despair, and an occult favorite for disrespecting Jesus. Secret societies advancing the Great Plan enjoy seeing people, especially young children, wearing the peace symbol with the arms down, because in their Luciferian religion they believe deception produces a dark energy helping to pave the way for the Antichrist.” (Taken from Teach Peace Foundation, which is a non-Christian site.)
- There is a spirit of rebellion given license by this sign (often seen in the children in the home but it also affects the adults).

WHY NOT TWILIGHT?
- By having Twilight in your home, you are coming into agreement with the enemy that the drinking of human blood is okay, thereby opening yourself up to spirits of death, perversion, lust, vampirism, etc.
- Blood to God is EXTREMELY PRECIOUS. As we all know, His Son’s blood is what was shed for our sins that we might have eternal life.
- Many, if not all, satanically based cults use blood sacrifices from both animals AND humans in their rituals. It is the perversion of what Jesus did. In Satanism, shed blood is often the measure by which occult members are promoted to a higher level of satanic power. (For more on this, see Deliverance For Christians Level 2 and Deliverance For Christians Level 3.)
- Vampirism, by definition, usually refers to sexual arousal that depends on blood. It has also been used as a synonym for necrophilia (sexual attraction to or sex with corpses).
- The medical definition of Vampirism is: a sexual perversion in which gratification is obtained by the drawing of blood.
- To support Twilight is to support these activities as being “okay.” It desensitizes us to the truth about blood.
- “Vampirism” is on the rise and there are many sites on the Internet to obtain more info, or even tests to see if one qualifies to be called a vampire (or acts like one). This should be extremely alarming to us, especially for our teens that go to public schools, because that is where a lot of this dabbling starts.
- Here is a testimony of someone who considers himself a vampire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=539xWgHhatM&t=52s
- Ways having Twilight in your home could be manifesting would primarily be:
- Lust (and, yes, you can have lust in marriage and that is NOT okay) is the opposite of love. Love desires to give. Lust desires to get and is never satisfied, drawing it into more and more perversion in order to be stimulated/aroused.
- Cutting marks on the body.
- Vampirism in dating situations. Check out the Internet for information on how vampirism has climbed to alarming levels, especially amongst the youth.
- Other: One cannot always say exactly how the enemy is using things to affect our homes/families. Sometimes we can only find out how we are being affected by getting rid of the objects in question.
- CoComelon is the second most viewed channel in the WORLD. This in and of itself would be a red flag.
- Further investigation shows that the company that owns them is Moonburg. So we have to look at that...and there we find that they have a number of shows with “Magic” in the title...and furthermore at least one of the shows involves shapeshifting, teleportation, etc. (things seen done with witchcraft and other false religions - and now things being “normalized’ with our Pre-K children??!!)
- I hate to say it but I believe these things are all examples of what the Lord told us - that the enemy is not going to look like an enemy...he will be undetectable...
- So I recommend you look into the above associated with CoComelon and at the least understand that the potential is there for them to be doing subliminal messaging to your children...ESPECIALLY because this show is so POPULAR. “Popular” is often if not always an indicator of Satanic involvement. I would love to be wrong, but I think it warrants more investigation on your part (and prayer) before you allow your children to watch this show.
- One thing you might look for is what your child’s behavior is after having watched these shows. You might see some manifestations that you had not connected the dots on as being from their watching this show...
Pray about this one. Charm bracelets may not necessarily be bad, but ask The Holy Spirit. The first charm bracelets were worn by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, and Hittites and began appearing from 600 – 400 BC. The wearing of charms may have begun as a form of amulet or talisman to ward off evil spirits or bad luck. (Taken from info at:

WHY NOT CHILDREN’S BOOK OF DEMONS?
(This is just an example of the types of things that can happen to your child if he or she is involved in reading, watching, listening to, or playing with Satanic materials. This is NOT intended to make anyone fearful, but rather to help us to be wise and connect the dots between unusual and even perhaps unacceptable behavior in children TO the possibility that they are involved in something that you may not be aware of. Even the most seemingly benign things can have satanic infiltration. Example: Dora throws up the Illuminati sign…)
Description by author for A Children’s Book of Demons: “Don’t want to take out the trash tonight? Maybe you’re swimming in homework? Perhaps that big bully is being a real drag? Well grab your colored pencils and sigil drawing skills and dial up some demons! This paranormal parody is filled to the brim with funny spirits more silly than scary!”
Children’s Book of Demon Reviews By Parents
- Where has my little boy gone? My 7 year old son got this for his birthday and couldn’t put it down for a week! At first, I was glad that he put down the video games and opened up a book, but now I’m not so sure. Ever since finishing the book he (they?) keeps referring to himself (themselves?) as Sliatiel, Lord of maggots. He’s not the same little boy anymore.
- This is purely Satanic. What kind of children's book teaches kids to summon demons and write sigils? This is degeneracy in its fullest form and it makes me sick that this is even allowed on the shelves of ANY store. Want to know what makes it worse? It teaches kids the original Greek, Hebrew and Egyptian names of these malicious demons... keep your kids away from this book and if they get their hands on it somehow BURN IT!!!!
- Very cute and fun! My daughter loves it and started levitating soon after reading it. She only speaks Latin now as well. I'm very impressed. (Note from Sue: 200 people said this was a helpful review.)
Here is a site that gives pictures of many different symbols, their origins, and their meanings. It is a good place to become familiar with the many signs and symbols that are being used for evil in our world today. http://www.crossroad.to/Books/symbols1.html
ADDITIONAL NOTES ON CLEANSING YOUR HOME OF ENEMY STRONGHOLDS
There is another way you can have demons in your home and that is if they “ride in” on someone who visits. So if you are having activity, ask the Lord to reveal any object giving license. If after 24 hours nothing has been revealed, then simply command the demon(s) to leave your home and go to Jesus to be dealt with. They do not have license to be there and they will leave instantly.
Yet another way to have demons in your home is if someone who lives in your home has demons. Often it will be a non-Christian (perhaps an unsaved spouse). In this case, you can ask the Lord on a daily basis to stop all demons at the door and not allow them to enter in with that person. This is generally an effective way to deal with the demons in someone you live with.
- If the demons have a lot of license in the person with whom you live, not all of them may stay at the door. In this case, you can ask the Lord to bind any remaining demons and not allow them to manifest in any way. Also, ask Him to open that person’s eyes to the truth of God. (See Prayer for Unsaved Loved Ones in appendix area.)
There are several testimonies given in the book I wrote: Deliverance For Christians (Level One) Claiming Your Freedom In Christ. Here is an additional testimony that has come up more in recent years.
Cleansing the Home of Amber Teething Necklace Young Christian Couple: Wife: Our baby was teething and very miserable. I had heard about the amber teething necklace as a solution for the pain of teething and decided to give it a try. When my husband saw the necklace on our son, he immediately reacted through his gift of discernment and told me that I should take it off of our son because it was connected to witchcraft. I didn’t believe him, and we even argued about it. I will add at this point, that once my husband brought it to my attention, the Holy Spirit continued letting me know that something was not right with it. But I still did not take it off. I defended the necklace because I was thinking there was no way it could have been connected to witchcraft. Then a day or two later, our baby came down with a fever of 103 degrees and was miserable. After that, I also got a fever! In retrospect, I was able to discern that I got the fever too because I was the one who put the necklace on our son – and probably also because I did not listen to my husband’s discernment. Once I got the fever, I took the necklace off, renounced witchcraft, and took back the ground that was given to the enemy when I put it on our son. He has been totally fine ever since. He just got his second tooth without my even realizing it. He had little to no discomfort. Praise God!
PRAYER TO CLEANSE YOUR HOME AND CAST OUT DEMONS
After all ungodly objects have been removed from your home, modify this prayer to fit for whatever area you have jurisdiction over.
Note: No one has greater authority to pray over your home than those who live there, and most of all - the husband/father. If there is no husband/father in the home, then the head of household can do this. In the case where this is a woman, I would encourage asking a Christian grandfather or other male relative/male spiritual covering to join you as you pray, especially if you have known demonic activity.
Father, in Jesus’ name, I take the authority over this home and land that You have given as a blessing to my family and me. I first of all repent for knowingly or unknowingly allowing objects into this home that gave the enemy license to build strongholds here. I specifically repent for (Let the Holy Spirit Guide You). I ask for and receive Your forgiveness and thank You for Your love, grace, and mercy over this family.
I also choose to stand in the gap for those who owned this house and land before we did. I confess, repent of, and ask your forgiveness for all sins that were committed here. Specifically, I repent of all sexual sins. I repent for any sins of abuse (sexual, physical, spiritual, verbal, and/or emotional). I repent of any murder or rituals that were performed on this ground or any blood that was shed. (Continue on as the Spirit leads, confessing any sins He brings to mind.)
I ask that You cleanse and cover this home and all of its contents with the blood of Jesus Christ. I consecrate this home and everything in it to You. I command all demonic spirits to remove yourselves from this place and go to Jesus to be dealt with. You are forbidden to return or go anywhere else. This includes all spirits of lust, fornication, adultery, pornography, perversion, and homosexuality, (Continue to list any the Lord brings to mind…). Father, we as a family claim that: by the wisdom You give us, this house will be built; by the understanding You give us, this house will be established; and by the knowledge You give us, the rooms will be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. We claim this ground as Holy Ground, consecrated to You and You alone.
Note: At some point along the way, you can use anointing oil to anoint the gateways (doors and windows) with oil, as an outward sign of consecrating your home to God. I personally apply the oil to the same areas that Israel applied the blood of the lamb (top and two sides). This is not necessary; it is just what I like to do. (See section on Anointing Oils in Deliverance for Christians Level 1 book.)
Thank You, Father. We ask that You seal everything done today with the blood of Jesus Christ. In His name we pray, Amen.
Note: If you only have jurisdiction over a room or even half of a room, then an added step is necessary.
Father, in Jesus’ name, I ask that you cordon off my area of jurisdiction and forbid any demonic spirits to cross the line into my domain. I claim the area that I live in as Holy ground, consecrated to You. I ask that You send angels to surround and guard me and my areas. I ask that all demonic spirits be forbidden from entering from here forward, as long as I abide in this place. Amen.
