DEALING WITH FAMILIAR SPIRITS AND
GENERATIONAL DEMONIC MONITORING SPIRITS

Introduction

Many people are being tormented by unseen demonic powers called “familiar spirits” that operate inconspicuously within the fabric of people’s thoughts, emotions, and mindsets working so secretly that they usually remain undetected. These demonic spirits can be attached to specific individuals, families,
or bloodlines.

Familiar spirtis position themselves in your heart and thoughts in order to alter your thinking process. The word "familiar" means: well know from long or close association, intimate, or informal. Familar spirits sneak into a persons mind and produce whispering conversations that become so part of a person that many people believe it's their own thinking.

Familiar spirits hinder people lives in numerous ways, diminishing their spiritual vision and seeking to prevent them from fulfilling their destinies. They may block people’s ability to overcome negative patterns. Without realizing it, we can invite such unseen enemies into our lives. We may have left open a door to their influence due to personal trauma, unforgiveness, bitterness, false thinking or even geneerational curses. We then become trapped in a type of spiritual debt. We are restricted from being fully free in Christ and constantly live with frustration, worry, anger, a feeling of hopelessness or even living in the past with the "What if" syndrome.

Demons, Divination, and
A Biblical Understanding of Familiar spirits

When someone has a spirit of divination, he/she can possibly be possessed with familiar spirit, however they do favor attachment over possession. Acts 16:16 tells us of young girl who has the spirit of divination. In the original Greek the word ‘divination’ comes from the word PUTHON which is also translated python. So in a nutshell she was operating with the spirit of python – Snake Spirit. She possessed the demonic ability to charm her victims until she and the spirit possessing her could take control of their minds. Take note of her words in Acts 16: 17, “The same followed Paul and us, and cried saying, these men are servants of the most High God, which shows unto us the way of salvation”. She was giving clear word of knowledge most “familiar spirits prophets” in the church will do. To give you a clearer understanding of what we have at hand, let me quickly explain to you how familiar spirits operate.

The word “familiar” is derived basically from the same Latin word used for FAMILY and it is applied to that which is known through constant association especially with reference to persons. A familiar spirit is a demonic spirit that has managed to gain entrance into the family line. The familiar spirit will stay with the bloodline or the family tree until the lineage dies out or they are cast out. They are spirits assigned by demons to families. They are spirits that are familiar to a person, a thing, a place. If they are cast out from one family they will seek another family or stay inside pets maintained by the original family especially cats & dogs. The word familiar spirits is mentioned about sixteen times in the Bible. Some examples include
Deuteronomy 18: 10 – 12, & I Samuel 28: 8 – 9.

Principalities usually assign one of their familiar spirits to an individual or family.
One fact I want to share with you is that a familiar spirit on assignment does not necessarily take possession of their victim. They operate in the spirit world as an intimate servant on behalf of his principalitie. They possess many supernatural abilities and all are used for deceptive purposes. Since they have the advantage of operating in the spirit world invisible, they can remain undetected operating in this invisible role. They can observe the victim day & night, at work, school, alone and accompanied and are able to learn the most intimate details of that person’s life. They collect all sorts of information comprising of: talents, resources, friends, neighbours, enemies, likes, dislikes, habits, mental abilities, educational abilities and reactions and responses to many different situation both good and bad. They literally get to know the person from being
an infant to adulthood, and over given time they learn to know how the victim will respond to differnet kinds of circumstances & situations.

Did you know ?

"In the occult, a witchcraft practitioner
can send monitoring spirits into a cat, bird or dog to monitor the activities of their victims. This is why you will always see a Witch protrayed with a Black Cat".
Demonologist Stephen Bridges Jr.

Below is a prayer against monitoring/familiar spirits

I take divine authority over every familiar spirit, spirits above them, around them, and below them, known or unknown. I bind all schemes against my life, against my spouse
(against my future spouse), against my children
(against my future children), family members and friends.
I declare that the monitoring spirit has no control over all I possess and things that I will possess.
I declare that I am loosed from any stronghold they may possess over me in the name of Jesus.
I break their power and communication lines.
I declare that all of their plans and schemes will be thrown into continual confusion and disarray by
the power and authority given to me in the of the name of Jesus.

The Demonic spirit of Divination

(The Spirit of Python)

We first encounter the python spirit in (Acts 16: 16.) In this chapter, the Apostle Paul is being harassed by a young slave girl with a spirit of divination. She has the ability to foretell the future and is earning lots of money for her masters. When Paul finally commands the spirit of divination to come out of her, she loses her power to predict the future and makes her masters angry because she can no longer make them rich.The word divination in this verse comes from the Greek word Πύθων, or puthon, which means python. Hence, the name of the spirit.The python spirit’s agenda is to make us ineffective in the Kingdom of God. The python spirit’s ultimate goal is to stop us from achieving what God has purposed for us.

“And if there be a man or a woman in whom is a spirit of Python or of divination,
they shall certainly be put to death: they shall stone them with stones;
their blood is upon them.” Leviticus 20:27

What is the Python Spirit ?

It is a demonic spirit - it is often associated with the serpent spirit called nahash.
It operates through New Age, channeling, occultism, psychics and fortune-telling.

Sins of The Python Spirit

All these sins can open the doors for the spirit of python.

Witchcraft, Divination, Occultism, Necromancy, Sorcery, Gossip, Slander, Rage, Pornography, Sexual perversion, Bitterness, Unforgiveness, False Accusation.

What does the Bible say about Divination?

The word divination comes from the Latin divinare, meaning “to foresee” or “to be inspired by a god.” To practice divination is to uncover hidden knowledge by supernatural means. It is associated with the occult and involves fortune-telling or soothsaying, as it used to be called. From ancient times, people have used divination to gain knowledge of the future or as a way to make money. The practice continues as those who claim supernatural insight read palms, tea leaves, tarot cards, star charts, and more..
God tells us His view of divination in Deuteronomy 18:10: “There shall not be found among you . . . anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens.
” First Samuel 15:23 compares rebellion to the “sin of divination.”
Practicing divination is listed as one of the reasons for Israel’s exile (2 Kings 17:17).
Jeremiah 14:14 spoke of the false prophets of the time, saying, “They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds". So, compared to God’s truth, divination is false, deceitful, and worthless. As Luke traveled with Paul and Silas in the city of Philippi, he recorded an encounter with a diviner: “We were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling” (Acts 16:16).
The girl’s ability to penetrate mysteries was due to a demon that controlled her.
Her masters received “much gain” from their slave.Paul eventually exorcised the demon
(verse 18), freeing the girl from her spiritual bondage and angering the slave owners (verse 19).
Divination in any form is sin. It is not harmless entertainment or an alternate
source of wisdom. Christians should avoid any practice related to divination, including fortune-telling, astrology, witchcraft, tarot cards, necromancy, and spell-casting.
The spirit world is real, but it is not innocent. According to Scripture,those spirits are not angels. Christians need not fear the demonic spirits involved in divination;
neither should they seek wisdom from them.

Symptoms Christains get from the Python spirit

Python spirit is very controlling and wants to dominate a person in order to dry and deaden them out spiritually. This demonic spirit waits for opportune times to destroy God’s people through false burdens, worshipping idols, and iniquities of the heart. People can be oppressed by the python spirit and eventually experience a spiritual and natural death if allowed. The python spirit, especially in church settings, likes to block people from truly and freely praising God to receive breakthroughs, miracles, and deliverance from yokes of bondage.

Feeling discouraged, defeated, and depressed.
Things seem hopeless, overwhelming, and burdensome,
you feel an overall sense of disappointment, struggle with a lack of peace and
feeling stress, and feel like giving up.

Loss of spiritual desire.
Difficulty with prayer life, staying connected to other Christians,
and maintaining your ministry or work with God.

Physical fatigue and/or malaise.
Feeling drained and lacking energy. No motivation.

Thinking about going back to your old lifestyle.
The enemy places thoughts in your mind about going back toward your old life rather that moving forward with faith in God. He will lie to you and tempt you with the very things you have been delivered from.

Doubting God’s goodness
Struggling with trusting God to come through for you. You may even feel anger
towards God for “letting you down.” Believing that God is mad at you and punishing you.

Negative, disturbing thought life.
The enemy attacks your mind, and the mind is the battlefield. You may be wrestling with anxious, fearful, or worrisome thoughts. Many times people will erroneously think that
nobody cares about them.

Feelings of rejection, belonging and loneliness seem to be heightened.
You feel no one truly understands you, and do not feel like you belong anywhere.

Confusion over what you believe.
Is Jesus really for me? Is Jesus the only way? These and other confusing
thoughts are spiritual attacks.

Did you know ?

"The python spirit comes in many forms in the Body of Christ that uses its venomous powers to suck the very life of God’s people. It is an ancient demonic spirit that houses itself amongst people who have open spiritual doors in their lives for
Demonic influence."
Demonologist Stephen Bridges Jr.

These are some of the Signs the spirit of divination is operating in a persons life.

Double-Mindedness,
Gets easily hurt or offended, Has trouble with relationships and thrives in constant drama
and strife. Crying, weeping a lot and using guilt to manipulate you.
When you try to use boundaries with them they get offended.

Selling spiritual gifts.
For example, a person with a python spirit may
charge people to give them a word of Prophecy or Deliverance, which is not biblical.
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. You have received without payment, so give without payment. (Matthew 10:8)
