Disable Demonic Torment During Family Gatherings

By Phyllis Tarbox

demonic torment familyDo demons manipulate your holidays at family gatherings?
Do your family members quickly ignite with anger because of old resentments?
Are you already dreading a rerun of last year’s drama?

You are not alone!

Many clients come in for family counseling after all the holiday meltdowns. Feeling helpless in your own home is not an option this year. It’s time to rise and use your authority, and with God, it is not that difficult.

Your marriage and family did not get to this warzone overnight. Still, there are some actions you can take now to disrupt the plans of the enemy that sabotage your holidays.

God gave us the keys when Jesus said to Peter:

“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” (Matt. 16:19)

In other words, you can bind demons and loose the fruits of Holy Spirit and interrupt the plans of hell.

How to Interrupt a Demonic Agenda

Let’s start with some ground rules. First, you want to use the key of binding and loosing as an offensive strategy before entering your family gatherings. If you wait, demons will compromise your battleplan by getting a hook in your flesh with anger or resentment. Next, never bind and loose in front of the person. When you speak the name of a demon out loud in the person’s presence manifesting, they amplify.

  1. Before you walk into any gathering, ask God to fill you with His love. Visualize yourself walking into Him; as you abide in the presence of the Holy Spirit, his character will overtake you. Ask God to anoint your head with oil, so no weapon formed against you can prosper. Love is the only weapon that will put hot coals on the enemy’s head. The demonic realm is using your family to lure you into battle.
  2. Bind demonic spirits and loose the Holy Spirit. On your way to the gathering, bind the demons in individuals that cause the contention.

    “I bind in (Name) every spirit of (anger, resentment, lying, mocking, pride, self-pity, depression, selfishness, etc.) and I loose on (Name) the fruits of the Holy Spirit (love, peace, joy, goodness, kindness, gentleness, patience, truth, etc.) in the name of Jesus Christ.”

    If the dreaded family drama still erupts, excuse yourself and retreat to the bathroom and quietly pray out loud:

    “I bind every manifesting spirit from operating through (names) right now with the blood of Jesus Christ, and I call forth the fruit of the Holy Spirit of Love, Joy, Peace….upon them now in Jesus’ mighty name.”

    Binding and loosing are our kingdom keys to use. Remember, you are not casting the spirits out; you are binding them for a short period. This plan will interrupt the flow of demonic torment and allow the restoration of peace.

  3. Bind word cursing spirits from using the mouths of others. Pray; “In the name and blood of Jesus Christ, I bind any word cursing spirits of death from using (name) mouth, and I silence those spirits now in Jesus’s name. Instead, I loose words of life to flow from (name) mouth now in the name of Jesus Christ.”

Do this as an offensive move before entering conversations with family members that are negative or gossip. What you may find is that they have nothing to say. Life and death, blessings and curses are in the power of the tongue. Prov. 18:21

These action items, if applied correctly in faith, can bring positive change to your holidays. Be hopeful and persistent, and you will reap a harvest of peace that will be long remembered.

Labor Room Trauma – A Door for Demons

By Phyllis Tarbox

labor trauma demons

When we minister to children, understanding traumatic events that happened during the mothers’ pregnancy or during the actual birth is essential for effective deliverance.

A mother concerned about her four-year-old son’s fearful behavior came into the office looking for answers.  Everything seemed to frighten him. When I asked her about traumatic events in her life, she stated, “I spent most of my pregnancy scared to death.”

Soon after she became pregnant, her husband accepted a job requiring him to travel and spend many nights each week away from home. She felt abandoned, angry, and afraid.

When I asked her about the birth of her son, she exclaimed, “Oh, it was horrible. My mother was in the birthing room, screaming hysterically. She thought I was dying when my blood pressure dropped and I passed out. The first sounds my son heard were her screaming in fear for my life!”

As she retold the story, I could hear the doors for the fear opening.  Her fear during pregnancy and the trauma her mother caused in labor and delivery had transferred to her son.

With that information, I was able to minister more effectively to the child by breaking ungodly soul ties with all involved, having the mother proclaim forgiveness towards her husband and mother, and then calling out the spirits associated with those events. The ministry result was very positive!

Revelation 12 tells us the enemy waits to snatch the child at the moment of his birth.  From this encounter, I could see how demons of fear were operating in the mother to get to the son.

A Personal Story of Labor Room Trauma

I believe my mother and sister had a similar experience on the day of my sister’s birth.  She was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck.  The doctors spoke their fears of strangulation while they worked to deliver my sister.  A birth assignment was activated that day, and although my sister survived her birth, she died on her first birthday of strangulation from the cord on her nightgown.

Words during pregnancy or in the delivery room can open the door to demonic torment. Blessings and curses are in the tongue. (Prov. 18:2)  If you know the assignments released over your children’s birth, you can break them now.

Canceling Birth Assignments and Words

  1. Break any assignment and word curses spoken over your child while in your womb or during delivery. Declare:

    “In the name of Jesus, I break the power of any word curse spoken over my child specifically (List curses and who spoke them). I cancel the assignment of every spirit upon my child from these curses and declare they have no hold over them in Jesus’ name.”

  2. Break the ungodly soul ties with those used to set this assignment.  Declare:

    “Thank you, Jesus, for dying that my child might be set free. I break and sever every ungodly soul tie between my child and (name each person involved that caused trauma during pregnancy or birth). I  now use the authority I have in Jesus Christ and command all demon spirits to have no further right over my child through these relationships in the Name of Jesus.”

  3. Declare the prophetic destiny over your child. It is usually the opposite of what the enemy is using to torment them.  If they walk in fear, begin declaring courage and strength.  If they walk in rebellion, speak the Godly warrior mantle over them and so on.

Mafia Family Member Delivered From a Spirit of Death

By Donald Ibbitson

This article was originally published on April 24, 2012. It has been edited and re-released in 2020.

mafia spirit death

In modern American lore, the terms “mafia” and “death” are frequently used together in the same sentence. From a spiritual standpoint, we have seen that even “uninvolved” family members can have spirits of death (and more) operating in their life.

We ministered to a woman from New York whose family (not her personally) was involved in organized crime, and that spirit manifested when we called it out! [Read more…]
