I was visiting a family, but as soon as I entered the door it became clear the demonic did not want a happy afternoon. One of the sons, long suffering from mental torment began to curse explicitly and I recognised the demonic straight away. I took him up stairs to a private place and pointed at him, saying that I was not addressing him personally but the unclean spirits that were influencing him.
When I looked him directly in the eyes and pointed they let me know their disapproval at the authority I was expressing. I laid on hands for deliverance after which there was a calm upon him, but I discerned this was more of a demonic influence than a direct possession. I was drawn of the Spirit to ask him where his room was and enter it. Upon opening the door I was met with a terrible sight - the room was in disgusting mess with newspapers, plastic bags and dirty washing covering the floor inches deep in place.
I told him we were going to clear it up together, whether he liked it or not. I gathered a small fortune in lost coins and had to kill several repulsive insects that had found a rather secure home. I pulled back the curtain to illuminate the squalor, telling him that if he was going to live for God he couldn't do it living like a pig. After making a good start on the room I left it to his brother to finish the job. I was told by my wife a few minutes after that the tormented man's mother had had a dream that morning that his brother would clean his room and their would be deliverance associated with it - praise God that I was the one to kick start the fulfilment of this only hours later!
After throwing out unclean newspapers, DVDs and CDs, I relayed to his parents that they had to make sure these things did not come into the house again. I talked to them about the scripture where an unclean spirit goes out of a man and tries to return to him with seven more wicked spirits, finding the place swept, but the doors wide open. We had physically cleaned, but for spiritual cleaning to be affective every door to the demonic had to be shut - otherwise those spirits would simply walk back in through the open doors of sin and uncleanness.
By the mother's answers I started to discern an injurious religiosity. She talked about the 'disciplines' that she had as a child, but dragging her unsaved sons to prayer at 6am would do nothing without conversion. She later wanted to pray for me, for God bringing me there to fulfil vision and start a healing process within the family, but as she laid on hands I knew that this was all the flesh and no Spirit. The woman had to have the last word on whatever I said, through religious pride, and now as she spoke in tongues of the flesh over me the back pain I woke with got worse (I later laid hands on my self and received healing from it).
I now see that there will be no healing, spiritually or physically within that household until she repents of her religiosity. The devil loves to mock those who speak of deliverance but continue to live in covetousness, pride and rebellion, which is as witchcraft. My strategy on my next visit will be to address the religiosity immediately and give no room for the flesh - in that there will surely be mighty deliverance by relationship with God, not religion.
