EXODUS 20:4– “You shall not make for
yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is
in heaven above or on the earth beneath
or in the water under the earth”
DEUT 7:25-26– “… you shall not bring an
abomination into your house …”
Contact objects involve many items. Is
every object demonic? Obviously not. A
person needs to know what constitutes a
demonic contact object and be aware of
the consequences of using or owning
such objects. In deliverance ministry there
is the area where people are concerned
because strange things are happening in
their homes … a lack of peace, “knocking
sounds”, foul and unexplainable odors at
times, residents having nightmares and
bad dreams, the children are restless or
disturbed. Any and all of these probably
indicate the presence of a demonic object
of some kind. Demons can and do infest
certain objects or the object is used as a
vehicle of travel for the demon.
Here are some objects and activities to
consider and pray about:
-Crucifix – a symbol of pain and suffering
-Dream Catchers – a mobile that hangs
over a baby crib – draws demons
-Irish jewelry – many items are covered
with occultic designs
-Clothing with occultic patterns, images
and designs (“seeing eye” is one)
-Some stuffed animals – they can take on
human characteristics and personalities.
Children may even talk to them, treating
them like a sibling
-Some photos of dead relatives – consider
the “spirits of death” in photos
-Some Chinese board games
-Wind Chimes – not all, but many. Chinese
occultic background history. Consider the
teachings of Feng Shui which involve
healing powers, enhancing the mind,
spirit and body
-So called “Christian jewelry” with crosses,
fish symbols, doves (images)
-Paintings of the so called Jesus, the Last
Supper (no one knows what Christ looked
like so men should not try to picture him).
One particular version of the Last Supper
actually has a woman at the table. A
female apostle? Check it out!
-Some antiques and heirlooms (do not
know what the owners were involved in
and possible curses on the items involved)
-Your own property – who lived there
before you? Native American and Slave
curses may be present from former
owners and occupants.
-Some TV programs, movies, plays –
involving the occult, witchcraft, horror
-Religious books that teach false doctrines
not found in the Bible
-Some people who come into your home
may bring demonic spirits with them. Pray
about these visitors and ask the Lord if
you need to anoint your home after they
leave
-Yoga, Lamaze, “breath prayers”,
Hypnosis, visualization, inner-healing
-Pictures and statues of angels (usually
female). One of the more popular contact
objects that the demons love.
-Native American artwork, statues,
jewelry, blankets, clothing – be carefuland
examine for "hidden symbols,etc"
Demonic objects and activities are
designed solely to attract the spirit world
of Satan – through incantations,
enchantments, divination or physical
contact. One purpose of demonic objects
is to get a person to beginto hear from
demonsand begin to talk with the
demons. Never talk to a demon, they are
liars (John 8:44)
JOSHUA 6:18 –“And you, by all means
abstain from the accursed things, lest you
become accursed when you take of the
accursed things, and make the camp
ofIsrael a curse, and trouble it”. Good
principle for your own dwelling place.
CASE HISTORY of a CHAIN –an inmate in a
prison ministry class came in one night
and showed a chain he had made of yarn
and as he began to put it around his neck
the Lord spoke to him and said “Don’t put
that around your neck, I made you free”.
This confirms the same message heard by
one of the teachers that same day
independent of the inmate. There is your
double witness from God. Chains often
denote slavery, we are free in Christ.
Ask yourself this question:“What is really
in my house, do I really know, and do I
understand the spiritual implications and
consequences of these objects?” PRAY
about this and let the Lord direct you as
to what is not acceptable to Him and
needs to be taken from your dwellings
and destroyed (burn, throw away…don’t
give away something demonic to another
person…that is not showing love)
