YOUR LIFE A DWELLING PLACE FOR GOD
So what is in your home?
What we allow in our lives and home has so much to do with the manifest
presence of God being in our lives or not. In Leviticus 14:33­53 we see one
of the jobs of a priest was to cleanse homes. The Canaanites heard about
what God did in Egypt and were scared of the Jews. Scholars believe that
they took their gold and silver when they heard the Jews were coming to
fight them and melted them down into little gods that they worshipped. They
took these little demon gods and would bury them under the home or embed
them into the walls for protection. When Israel came in and invaded the land,
they took homes from these inhabitants. God would put an outward mildew
(or leprosy) on the walls of a home like this to warn them something was
wrong. That is why the priests were to take the home apart, so they could
find anything like this that had been planted by the previous owners. Also, in
Deuteronomy 7:26 we see a warning of having cursed objects in our homes.
Not only can worldly, sinful, or demonic things in a home cause the glory to
leave, but they can also allow demons in! Do you allow occult materials in
your home? Anything linked to the occult, false gods, or idolatry will bring a
powerful curse with it and allow demons access to your home in a major
way. Is there order in your home? Does the wife submit to the husband and
children obey their parents. To submit means to ask permission and obey
the decision with a good attitude. If this is not going on, it is blatant rebel­
lion against God’s holy word and will cause the glory to lift and Jezebel spirit
in the home. Do you go to bed angry with unresolved issues? This can open
a portal for spirits of strife, anger, unforgiveness, and divorce right into the
home. Any portal for the enemy to gain access is a “gate of hell.” Do you
tolerate dishonesty or disrespect in your home? Parent, we deserve what we
tolerate. All you have to do is take your belt off, and administer some corpo­
ral punishment in love. Do you allow negative, hurtful, or destructive things
to be spoken in the home? Negative words are curses and can release evil
spirits, while positive words are blessings that can release angels to be at
work. Do you have things in your home that put you into bondage and con­
trol you? This could be things like illegal drugs, beer, whiskey, or tobacco
products. Do you allow pornography in your home? If you want demons in
your home, watch Playboy Channel late at night. They will come right
through the television screen, their feet will hit your carpet, and in they come.
When these perverse spirits come, they come to stay. You will notice it very
hard to not meditate on sexually perverted thoughts. Do you allow demonic,
perverted, or evil music of any kind to be played in your home? Do you allow
R­rated movies? Is there television or movies that have foul language, sex­
ual content, excessive violence, or occult themes? Friend, just common
sense here, can you picture Jesus with a bowl of popcorn watching that filth?
I don’t think so! Just remember the Bible says to guard your heart with all
diligence for from it flows the rivers of life. And the Bible also states that the
eyes are the window to the soul. What you watch and listen to gets in your
soul. It can muddy the waters of your soul quickly. It can also act like a leech
that sucks the anointing right out of you. Is there racism allowed in your
home? Is there gossip, backbiting, or slander in you home? These things
