Marco Polo, in the thirteenth century, was surprised to find the King of Malabar using a rosary of precious stones to count his prayers. St. Francis Xavier and his companion were equally astonished to see that rosaries were universally familiar to the Buddhists of Japan. Among the Phoenicians a circle of beads resembling a rosary was used in the worship of Astarte, the mother goddess, about 800 B. C. TOUCH OF GOD INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES (HEALING AND DELIVERANCE) 113
Aroma Therapy (a new-age product, the label will typically say for the mind, body, and spirit – aroma therapy is holistic healing: in holistic healing they try to treat not only the body but the person’s spirit, the problem is this physical/spiritual healing has nothing to do with God’s Holy Spirit; also see my document on ‘perfumed oil’) - Some blends are man’s ideas and can have powerful demons attached to them.

No material possession is worth holding onto interferes with your life…. HOW DOES A HOUSE GET HAUNTED? First bringing anything into your house that is not of God. If things such as seances, voodoo, adultery, or incest have been practiced in a home, then demonic spirits may inhabit there. Leviticus 18:24-25,27, "Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants... (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which [were] before you, and the land is defiled;)" Before you bought the house, was there an Indian burial, shed blood in sacrifice to Satan, etc. This gives legal right for the demonic to stay on the property until you cleanse it. As stated above, pray and ask the Lord what you need to destroy. The word of God says that he who seeks shall find. Go through the list and get rid of it. BURN OR DESTROY IT In the Book of Acts, is the story about the seven sons of Sceva. After one of the demons beat them up, (Acts 19:16), “And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.” Then, we find in verse 17, "This became known to all who lived in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks, and alarm and terror fell upon them all; and the name of the Lord JESUS was extolled and magnified”. 18 “Many also of those who were now Believers came making full confession and thoroughly exposing their [former deceptive and evil] practices. 19 And many of those who had practiced curious, magical arts collected their books and [throwing them, book after book, on the pile] BURNED THEM in the sight of everybody . . . " This is the scripture that Christians use for "book burnings" "record burnings,” etc. HOUSE DELIVERANCE After these things have been destroyed then break curses over you and your family and cast the demons out of your house; also anoint your house. If you are married, allow your husband to be the priest of the home and do it together. Allow him to lead.

“When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies,” (Num.10:9). After you have cleansed it. There are three steps to take when dedicating and blessing a home 1. Speaking the prayer out. 2. Blessing the inside of the home. 3. Blessing the outside of the home (the property). As the owner (or leaser) and spiritual representative of this home (house, condominium, apartment, trailer home, etc, I (we) dedicate unto You Father God and surrender my (our) home, property and possessions into Your hands. Like a good King would govern over the affairs of His kingdom, or like a good shepherd would tend his flock I (we) give You the headship position over and I (we) invite You to be the overseer of this home, property and it's affairs to direct and look after in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I (we) ask that You would sanctify and put Your seal (Your cleansing blood) of ownership upon this home, upon this property and upon to each article that is in this home and on this property for they are Yours to govern over. Lord Jesus as Your Son Jesus Christ had cleared Your temple from those who had been spiritually tainting the holiness of that building Matthew 21:12,13 we ask for You Jesus to come and spiritually purge our home, property and its possessions from anything that spiritually taints the holiness of our home, property and possessions in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. By the authority of Jesus Christ of Nazareth you gave me I (we) claim this home and property for the Kingdom of God. I renounce every work of iniquity that has ever been perpetrated in this home, or on its property. I (we) intercede the blood of Jesus Christ to rectify and forgive every unrepented sin that has been committed here by a previous owner, renter, or guest who had ever stayed here. In the name of Jesus Christ, I (we) command broken off of this home and property every chain of bondage, every curse, every un-Godly vow, every dark spirit and every legal right Satan has had to this home and property. By whatever person, whatever opportunity, whatever legal right, or whatever sin perpetrated I (we) command every possible work Satan has put onto, or against this property rescinded and declared null and void. I (we) command every demonic influence to relinquish it's position and be purged from this home and property with your fire to burn up every demonic legal right and sent to dry and arid places. Father God in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth send a cleansing fire throughout our home and property and burn up the remnants of sin and darkness that had covered this home and property and fill the home and property up with Your Holy Spirit. PERSONAL DELIVERANCE Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I confess, repent and take responsibility and ask forgiveness for the iniquity of idolatry for you, ancestors, spouse, former spouses, former sex partners and their ancestors. Break the curses and cast OUT demons (of yourself) having to do with idolatry.
TOUCH OF GOD INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES (HEALING AND DELIVERANCE) 116
Make sure also you have forgiven anyone who has hurt you; otherwise, the enemy has the right to attack your home and your children if you are the spiritual head of the home. Jesus Christ I confess and I proclaim that You are the Lord of my life and that You alone hold the highest position under our Fathers throne. I proclaim that Jehovah creator of the heavens and the earth is my God, and my spiritual Father. I surrender afresh this day my body, my soul, and my spirit into Your care Father God. Father help me (us) to be a good steward of this home and property. Help me (us) to make good decisions, to be spiritually wise and to have good discernment as to what I (we) will allow, to come into this home, or will allow to operate in this home, or on its property in that I can help You keep this home holy and in Your peace. I ask for Your Spirit of peace to always rest on this home and property. My parents lived in Mexico and gave me two masks. One was made of grass and the other from wood. I felt something from the one made of grass. When I got home, I immediately turned on my electric grill to burn it up. What happened instead? The grill blew up and the mask was still in one piece. I had to take scissors to it and cut it up. Planting Seeds Ask God that the presence of His Holy Spirit be made manifest in that place and that He would send His warring, covenant, linking and ministering angels to fill the place. Pray that the banner of the LORD our God, YHVH Nissi, be raised in the spirit over the place. Pray that the Fire of God surround you and that you be hidden in the spirit. Pray that no backlash from the prayer be allowed to affect any of those praying and that all petitions to do so be counter-petitioned in the Name of Y’shua [Jesus]. Loose God’s SHALOM and Joy and declare the rulership of Messiah Y’shua [Jesus] over the place. Give God thanks, glory and honour for all He has done. AMEN! Spiritual Inventory of your home In order to remove demonic forces from our homes and keep them out, we must be willing to deal with sin issues in our lives. As Charles K r a f t , p r o f e s s o r a t F u l l e r Theological Seminary, would describe it, demons are like rats and sin is like garbage … "If we get rid of the rats and keep the garbage, the person is in great danger still. But if we get rid of the garbage, what we have done automatically affects the rats." Dedicate your home The next step in ridding your home of spiritual darkness is to dedicate your house to the LORD. Simply pray and invite the Presence of the LORD into your home. Ask the LORD to use your home for His Kingdom Purposes. Declare that as for you and your house, you will serve the LORD.

Joshua 24:15 “15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Declare that your home will NOT be a haven for dark forces, but instead that it will be a beacon of light for your family and to the world. It is best to pray these things in an audible voice, which affirms your intentions not only to God and to yourself, but to any forces of darkness that are about to lose their dwelling place. Consecrate Your Home Once you have completed all these steps, then go through your house, room by room, and consecrate each one to the LORD. Speak specific blessings into each room. In the living room you may want to bless the time that your family spends together there and ask the LORD to strengthen those relationships. In each bedroom, bless the plans and purposes that God has for each one that occupies that room. In the bedroom of a married couple, bless the sexual relationship and the union between husband and wife. Bless the work that goes on in an office or study and declare that all work done there will be done as unto the LORD. Think of why each room was designed, and bless that purpose. You can even bless the cleansing that goes on in the bathroom and ask the LORD to use it as a reminder of the cleansing He has brought in your own life! Many who consecrate their home room by room often use oil to anoint the doors, windows, and furnishings. Oil is used as a symbol of the Blood of Y’shua [Jesus] – a reminder of both the cleansing and protecting power in His Blood. If you feel so led, using oil is certainly appropriate for this type of praying. Fill Your Home with the Glory The next step is to fill your home with objects and activities that bring glory to God. Jack Hayford offers this list of practices that promote healthy, happy, holy homes: Share the Covenant Meal with your family at home. Be sure to include the children. Sing at home, both alone and together. Let your home be filled with the song of the LORD. Pray at home. Pray as a family. Make table prayer meaningful, even though it is brief. Scheduled times of prayer are great, but so is prayer that rises naturally, and it helps the kids enter in as genuine participants instead of being forced. Speak the Word in your house. Besides your own devotional Bible reading, how about standing in the center of your living room periodically and reading a psalm aloud? Keep your house bright. Cultivate a genuine mood of hope in your home. Refuse whatever influence (moodiness, sharp speech, unworthy music, activities, or videos) would extinguish the brightness of God's Glory Light in your home. Maintain Spiritual Victory Keep on your toes! We are in a WAR! The enemy would love to find new and creative ways of infiltrating your home with spiritual darkness. It is a good idea to periodically go through your home and check for any new objects that should not be in your home, or pray through any new sin issues that have come up. In addition, plan on consecrating the rooms of your house and walking the perimeters of your
property at least once a year. You might want to pick a day that will remind you each year that the time has come to do a spiritual checkup and rededicate your house to the LORD.
