"My great-grandfather's witchcraft opened a door the devil uses against me."
How it sounds in your head: Mom mentioned great-grandpa was involved in some dark stuff. Maybe that's why weird things happen or why I feel scared at night. Maybe his choices gave the enemy legal right to mess with me.
"Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it."
-- Colossians 2:14-15Source: charismatic deliverance ministry teachings that give the devil more power than the blood of Jesus.
Spiritual warfare teachings emphasize demonic 'legal rights' and 'open doors,' making him feel vulnerable to invisible forces. Fear feels like proof something spiritual is attacking him.
The demoniac lived naked among tombs, cutting himself, possessed by a LEGION of demons. Jesus delivered him INSTANTLY with one command, and he went home clothed and in his right mind - his children grew up FREE.
I REFUSE the lie that my ancestors opened doors the enemy can use. IT IS WRITTEN that Jesus disarmed ALL principalities and powers, making a public spectacle of them. No demon has legal rights over me - every requirement was nailed to the cross. IT IS WRITTEN that I am seated with Christ in heavenly places, far above all principality and power. The blood of Jesus is a WALL the enemy cannot cross. I am Abraham's seed, blessed with the BARAK covenant that protected even when they sinned. I walk in COMPLETE authority because I am IN CHRIST.
Father is laughing at the defeated enemy's empty threats, wrapping you in the finished work of the cross. He sees you seated with Christ in heavenly places, completely untouchable, totally secure.
