Breaking The Power Of Household Witchcraft Over Your Destiny
Contributed by Godspower Elishason on Jan 8, 2012 (message contributor)
Summary: The greatest problem of humanity is the power that rules them from their household. Jesus said, ...a man's enemy are those of his household. So for us to be victorious in life we must overcome the power of household witchcraft that tends to contend with o
WHAT IS DESTINY
This is God's purpose for your life; it is your appointed or ordained future. It is what God has pre-determined you to be. It is the reason you were born. If there is a power that does not wish you to fulfill the purpose for which you were born, then it must be dealt with. It is what God has written down for you in His book of life. Every power re-writing your destiny must be paralysed.
WHAT IS HOUSEHOLD
This is the domestic unit containing members of your family living together. It means those who dwell under the same roof.
WHAT IS WITCHCRAFT
This is the legal arm of Satan, his arm of destruction, his power to do and undo. No wonder the scripture says that, Jesus came to undo the works of the enemy. Household wickedness remains one issue that is not clear to many people. Household witchcraft acts as monitoring and reporting agents. In almost every family, there is at least, one agent of destruction. There is a monitoring and reporting agent in all families. Unless the family member does not have potentials. Every family member has a case file in the spirit world. Some people's files have been passed to many agents of darkness. When household witches are at the point of death, they will transfer the case file to another agent. But our prayers can make those files to become untransferable.
Verse 9: Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
There is a Chinese proverb which says:
"O Lord, deal with my friends. I shall take care of my enemies"
The implication of this is that an enemy has at least declared himself as an enemy and has been identified as such. But a friend whom you don't know can be terrible. It is very difficult for you to dodge a stone thrown at you from behind. The satanic agenda for many of us started right from the womb. And many people suffer from that womb to the grave and are never able to fulfil their destinies. We are going to quickly look at the Bible stand of Household Witchcraft.
BIBLICAL CASE STUDIES OF HOUSEHOLD WICKEDNESS
CAIN AND ABEL:
Verse 8: And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
This is the first scriptural account of household wickedness. This is the case of two brothers that came from the same womb.
JOSEPH AND HIS BROTHERS:
Verse 23: And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
24: And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
Who were the people who did this to Joseph?
His own brothers
Verse 25: And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26: And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
27: Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
28: Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Ignorance is a terrible thing; it is the mother of personal destruction. A little ignorance can destroy many things forever. There is a spirit behind household wickedness - Witchcraft spirit.
From the story of Joseph, you can see that God has a special purpose for his life. The reason you are still alive today is not that there are no powers that would have wanted you gone, but because God has a purpose for your life.
MOSES, AARON AND MIRIAM:
Verse 1: And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
2: And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
3: (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
We can also see household wickedness in operation here.
