DELIVERANCE

FROM

ANCESTRAL DEMONS If you are concerned about spirits from your past lineage being passed down to the next generation, you should first examine the moral or spiritual weaknesses in your family tree. For example, Cain slew Abel his brother, and in Cain’s lineage a descendant named Lamech also killed a man (Gen. 4:23–24). Among the early patriarchs, Abraham lied and said that Sarah was his sister (this was partially true—Sarah was the daughter of Abraham’s father but had a different mother), but he did so out of fear (Gen. 12:13). Isaac also fibbed about his wife being his sister out of fear (Gen. 26:7), and Jacob was deceived by his eleven sons, who conspired secretly, saying Joseph was slain by a wild beast when he had been sold as a servant (Gen. 37). The lineage of David appears to have struggled with the opposite sex. David committed adultery and later discovered that his son had raped a half-sister (2 Sam. 13). Solomon, the son who replaced David as king, was addicted to strange women and married seven hundred wives plus three hundred concubines (1 Kings 11:3). When looking at your lineage, does a particular sickness, divorce, adultery, or some other moral or spiritual weakness such as fear or depression pass on from generation to generation? While some physical ailments can be DNA acquired, most moral disruptions can be the adversary, playing on a weakness like a hidden earthquake’s fault line running through the family, which can rupture at any moment.
