"I need to burn sage, break soul ties, and cleanse my house or demons still have access."
How it sounds in your head: I got rid of the obvious stuff—tarot cards, crystals. But what about that statue from Bali? The yoga mat? Maybe I need to sage the house, pray over every room, break every soul tie with teachers and practitioners.
"To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted."
-- Titus 1:15Religious system that makes spiritual cleansing a WORK and house-cleaning a prerequisite for God's presence.
She's heard testimonies of people finding hidden objects and experiencing breakthrough after getting rid of them. The deliverance ministry gave her a checklist. She's constantly wondering if she missed something.
Daniel lived IN THE PALACE OF BABYLON—surrounded by occult symbols, false gods, astrologers, and sorcerers. He didn't need to 'cleanse' the palace or avoid contamination. He thrived, received visions, and God gave him 'knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning.' Proximity to the occult didn't contaminate him.
I REFUSE the lie that I need to cleanse my house or objects have power over me. IT IS WRITTEN: To the pure, all things are pure. I am PURE by the blood of Jesus, and no statue, mat, or souvenir can defile what GOD has cleansed. Daniel lived in an OCCULT PALACE and God gave him VISIONS there. IT IS WRITTEN that greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. I am not at the mercy of THINGS—I am a CARRIER of the Holy Spirit. Every room I walk into is BLESSED by my presence. I am DONE with religious superstition. I am FREE.
The Father doesn't say, 'Better check that closet again—you might have missed a cursed object.' He says, 'YOU are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Wherever you are is HOLY GROUND. Stop fearing objects and start OCCUPYING territory.'
