"I was dedicated to Satan as a child so I'm his property, not God's"
How it sounds in your head: My parents were in a cult. They dedicated me to Satan in some ritual before I could talk. I didn't choose it, but it happened. I feel like I'm trying to serve God while still being owned by the devil. Like I'm stolen property and Satan has receipts. How do I belong to God when I was given to the enemy first?
"Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."
-- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20Source: Satanic ritual abuse teaching that treats demonic dedication as binding contract - denies the POWER of the blood to transfer ownership completely (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
The ritual was REAL and you have memories or evidence of it. The spiritual oppression feels like ownership, like you're being claimed by two sides and Satan got there first.
Balak hired Balaam to CURSE Israel - brought him to high places, offered sacrifices, tried everything to get demonic curses to stick on God's people. God's response: 'He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, nor has He seen wickedness in Israel... No sorcery can work against Jacob, no divination against Israel.' Israel was COVENANT PEOPLE and curses couldn't touch them - even when spoken by a prophet hired to curse them.
I REFUSE the lie that childhood dedication to Satan made me his property. IT IS WRITTEN that I was BOUGHT at a price and I am NOT my own - I belong to God. My parents couldn't dedicate what they didn't own. The blood of Jesus is the TITLE DEED to my soul, and Satan's claim was voided at Calvary. IT IS WRITTEN that my body is the TEMPLE of the Holy Spirit who is IN me. Demons don't live in God's temple. I am not stolen property; I am PURCHASED POSSESSION. The BARAK blessing is mine by covenant - not by my choice or my parents' choice, but by GOD'S choice in Christ. No ritual in my past is stronger than the BLOOD in my present. I am HIS.
Your Father doesn't see you as damaged goods or stolen property. He sees you as PURCHASED - His beloved son bought at the highest price ever paid. The moment you believed, ownership transferred COMPLETELY, and every satanic claim was cancelled. No receipt survives Calvary.
