Family rituals: A gateway to demonic afflictions in the bloodline
“DOCTOR GRACE, can you help me? I live overseas and I have been struggling for years without help. I can’t get any good job, and when I do get one, it doesn’t last for long. I can’t keep money either. My family members are not communicating with me or with each another. I am so confused, and when I go and seek help, the situation seems to get worse. Kindly help me!”
The spiritual diagnosis, after consulting with the Lord, brought to light what happened: There was an annual ritual in her family, coming from the fourth generation, and the writer did not know that it has impacted the entire bloodline. It was always with celebrations, bloodshed of animal, food, music, dance, etc.
The sufferer remembered that her family always gathered for an event every year when she was small, and it was led by her grandfather who would perform the rituals and mark everyone with the blood.
OBEAH MAN
Another family’s tale was that of another person who recounted how her mother used to invite an obeah man to their house decades ago when she was growing up, telling them it would help the family to be protected and to succeed. The obeah man would take them one by one to the backyard and have sex with them, among other things, starting from her mother. She said when she eventually realised what was happening, she refused and told the mother she would no longer allow the man to do that to her. I call those obeah men rapists!
Abject poverty plagued the family. Constant headaches troubled the mother. They lived with hatred and failures. They could not finish their education. She got pregnant very early and the rest was history. The entire family could not rise in life; none of them achieve anything. Underachievement, poverty, early pregnancy and frequent illnesses took over the family, until she was saved and brought members of the family for deliverance. Jesus has set them free!
SOAKED IN INIQUITIES
Some families are soaked in iniquities and all kinds of evil practices. They don’t realise that there are long-term repercussions to those traditions. The bloodline or oncoming generation will suffer for it.
Isaiah 59: 2-4 says: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
May the Lord deliver us! The only antidote is to be enlightened and seek protection in the blood of Jesus. Not the blood of chickens, goats or pigeons; not sprinkling rum at the foundation of your house; not eating at the grave side or turning the bed around when someone dies; not passing children over caskets, not putting strange marks on the body to appease the dead; not lighting candles of various colours and chanting or setting tables at the corner of your room or house; not jumping the broom at weddings or any time at all; not keeping ashes of the decease; not planting evil trees for family members.
These practices open the door or gate to your life, marriage and family for demons, and it progresses to the unborn. Run from those rituals and be delivered now in the name of Jesus Christ! Jeremiah 33:3 says, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not”.
