Demonic Protection for my Family

Saints, last night proved to be a spiritual battleground. I was praying for my family before going to sleep, and while praying for my son (Jackson - age 3), I felt led to go into his room and lay hands on him to pray for him.I did so, asking God to touch him. He's been VERY rebellious lately - unusually rebellious. I felt like I was praying in the Spirit - you know, where your prayers even seem guided by God. I hadn't intended on praying for this when I entered his room, but I felt compelled to pray for demons to be cast out of my son. I have never attempted to do such before because I have never felt like my prayer life was where it should have been. By this time my wife noticed I was in my son's room, so she came in and put her hand on my shoulder and was praying with me.Well, I prayed something like this: "If there is a demon of rebellion in Jackson, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to leave. You're not welcome here - I am in charge here, and Jesus is in charge of me." What happened next is almost beyond belief.My son is like me - it takes a trainwreck to wake him up, but when I prayed for the demon to come out (not out loud), my son squirmed a little. I continued to pray for him, not out loud, with my hands lightly on his back (he was face-down.) I once again commanded the demon of rebellion to leave, and then I said, "If there is a demon of disobedience in him, be gone! You are not welcome here!" My son then squirmed even more.I once again began to command the demonic forces to leave, and then my son woke up and wouldn't let me touch him. He was acting very strange. He wouldn't let me touch him anymore.Normally if he wakes up at night, he likes to be held and rocked, so I gently picked him up, thinking I could keep praying for him while I held on to him. As I held him, he was squirming to get away, and he even said, "Let me out!"I let him get back in bed, and I was in shock over what had happened. My wife and I left the room, and I told her what I had prayed. She said she knew and was praying the same thing even though we never talked about it.My wife wanted to pray some more (I thank God for her!) I think the incident had her a little scared, but I was at peace knowing that Christ would be there for us. Well, before she prayed, we heard a bird start to chirp (a wierd chirping, too) right outside our window. Keep in mind it's like 11:30, and we have NEVER heard a bird chirp at that time of night. Melissa kinda jokingly said that the demon had entered a bird. Well, as she prayed, we were holding hands, and when she prayed for Jackson, we started hearing some scraping noises, like a bush scraping the house. We do have bushes near our house, but have never heard them scrape the house before. Keep in mind I have always had a skeptical mind about such things as this, but, saints, my wife almost squeezed my hand off and I, too, was getting scared.My wife, though, began to pray with tears for God's protection, and she not only continued to pray for our family but began to call down strongholds of satan in other areas. She didn't back down but charged the enemy, knowing that Christ was her Captain.There were a few other unusual noises that sounded in our normally quiet home, and it was pretty scary at parts. After the prayer, there was a sense of peace, and no other unusual noises were heard.I am still worried about my son, Jackson. I am not satisfied with what happened last night, and I want to pray over him again.My daughter, Olivia (age 1), I also prayed for, but she didn't react like Jackson. But I want her to be protected. Saints, I covet your prayers of deliverance and protection. This is not the first time strange things have been experienced while praying for our kids, but now that my prayer life is getting to where it needs to be, I am seeing more effectiveness in my prayers. "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." -James 5:16 (emphasis added)-Chris

Chris Thank you for sharing your experience with us. You and your wife should pray together for your son until you feel/know the demon has left. You may think this is wierd and perhaps a bit extreme and I don't want to fill you with fear. How long have you lived in your home? If someone moves into a house in which people have lived before, we have no idea what has gone on in there, especially if it is an old one. Have you been into each room in your home and prayed, asking God to cleanse the rooms of what has gone one, or things that may be lurking there. Also, you could walk around your garden boundary and pray for God's blessing in your garden, too. Our homes should be a haven of peace in the turmoil of the world around us.I pray that little Jackson and Olivia will know God's peace. And your home will always be filled with love and peace. Sue

Brother Chris,Thank you for sharing this. My wife and I, along with the brethren in our fellowship, will be praying for your family.I have a number of brothers and sisters (including myself) who could share similar experiences. The only common denominator I can find among all the folks this has happened to is that once someone makes that decision to follow Jesus all the way, then there's a great battle to be fought and Satan is angry. The battle is played out day-by-day. I would suggest reading a book entitled "Holy War" by John Bunyan. It's similar to Pilgrim's Progress in that it's an allegory but explains this battle that we're in. A very powerful book.I pray that this attack would encourage you knowing that the enemy has come against you because you've decided to go all the way with Jesus.Blessings to you brother.

Hi suzy, do you believe in territorial spirits?

Praying

I would Recomend the sermon by Keith Daniel called Protection from the Power of SatanI dont think there is a such a thing is a demon of rebellion or a demon of disobedience. I do know that the word of God does says in Gen 8:21 for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth;

Bro. I’ll be praying for you and your family. My husband and me live in a house where my in laws left for him and my in laws used to sacrifice for demons in that same house. I had my two children raised in that house. What matters is the covenant these people entered with the devil over their descendants. I know the attacks. My second child used to fall down out of the blue many times when he was one. Most of the time it was severe,one time causing him to bleed at the back of his head- but no harm comes to my children! There was times I feared, despaired and panicked, I’m not a person strong in prayer and anything but- God never and will ever give up your children to demons- especially now you the parents are both believers and are calling upon the name of the Lord! My case was different my husband would even snick out and participate in a demonic worship his sister holds at her house in certain months. It is very recent that he has turned his heart to God. All that time when even there was an open door for demons through my husband God was faithful for his protection! God is faithful to his own attributes! God came to my home forgiving every sin and my children are now five and two growing safely in Gods hands. And my husband is ever inclining his ears to God! The strongholds are broken and will be broken until the end-God will bury your enemy under your feet shortly!!! But there is one lesson God wants to teach you and your wife you better open your heart and watch out for that! Otherwise, Jackson is Christ’s, Olivia is Christ’s!!! In Jesus name I claim them to the Kingdom of God! Never we see our children grow up to be the children of the devil!Not by our might but by His Might! In Jesus name I call the Blood upon these little ones and this family!!! Amen!!!!Your sis. Mek.

Amen!!!!You speak the truth the sister Mekdi. Satan and his demons have already been defeated by the power of the blood of Jesus 2000 years ago. The devil loves to trick believers into thinking himself or his demon have power over us - THIS IS A LIE!!! There is no power in hell that can come against the power of the Holy Ghost! Jesus loves you brother and has set you free and the demons that are attacking you have absolutely no power over you or your family except a false power they lie to make you think they have.Jackson is Christ’s, Olivia is Christ’s!!! In Jesus name I claim them to the Kingdom of God! Never we see our children grow up to be the children of the devil! In Jesus name I call the Blood upon these little ones and this family!!! Amen!!!! YOU ARE SET FREE AND SATAN HIS DEMONS ARE DEFEATED!!!!
