Doors that Evil Spirits Often Use
Hypnosis: When we subnit to hypnosis, we yield our mind to someone else. The hypnotist may have some evil spirits attached to them.
Idolatry: Something or someone may have preeminence in one's life other than Jesus. "(Matthew 6:33) tells us we are to, 'seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things will be added unto you.'"(31). To the exclusion of our Lord, certain areas of our lives may become predominant: "self, sports, hobbies, our work, money, people, sex, drugs, alcohol, food, collections, problems, sickness, etc." Some may worship these to the exclusion of Jesus. The major loss may be our spouse and family. Participation in secret societies may be idolatry. (Exodus 20:3) is very clear, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
Rebellion and Disobedience Toward God-Not Keeping God's Commandments: This is considered sin and must be repented. A brand new spiritual truth becomes evident herein and this relates to our being susceptible to issues/sins of our past family generations, ie:..."disease, poverty, early death, destruction, trauma, sorrow and tragedy on our lives." Now readers may say what is this all about? Recall Biblically, sins and situations may be carried on for several generations. However we may break those sins and conditions by praying to break the past spiritual sins and conditions. "I suggest that you speak to your specific ptoblem, declaring that it is under the curse of the law, but that you have been redeemed by Jesus at the Cross. Therefore you are healed."(32).
Ungodly Inheritance: "Exodus 20:5 tells us that the iniquity (sin) of the fathers as far as four generations back can be held against us. It is likely that this four generation curse would apply to most of us because we have parents and grandparents who have sinned. Involvement with murders, suicides and/or abortions by us or our forefathers would certainly fit here. Sins caused by taking certain oaths, speaking and accepting ungodly dedications, or allowing certain secret society curses to be spoken over us results in generational demonic activity as well." (32). Thankfully we can repent of all those sins, known and unknown. We can call on our Lord for forgiveness for ourselves and our forefathers. "(Nehemiah 9:2) And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers." (33). This was a big surprise to me. And somewhat shocking to be affected by my family indiscretions. I can assure you what Everett Cox writes emanates from intense study of the scriptures and his experience in his ministry sessions.
Curses by the Tongue: This door opener perhaps is the one manifested most often. Others may cast aspersions or negative words against us and they take hold without our knowledge or even recognition, but, if you are reading this message, you now know! Be aware when we speak negatively of others that comment remains in the air and can take hold on that person. We can pray that spirits attached to words spoken to us about us or those we send into the atmosphere can be rendered null and void. This is by breaking the spiritual power through prayer. When this happens, Cox reports that the evil spirits are called out and his subjects literally cough them out.
Ungodly Soul Ties: This section was a major surprise for me. "Soul ties form in our hearts by associating with someone, by bonding, following them, by accepting their influence....Ungodly soul ties take form from such activities as addictions, drug addiction , alcohol, gambling, stealing or cult activity."(34). Making someone an idol becomes an ungodly soul tie. Sexual abuse, as unfair as it is, creates a negative soul tie. "Sexual activity outside marriage will set up ungodly soul ties."(34).
