What to do if you feel, sense, or see a demonic presence in your home.

The first thing I want to point out is you are not being visited by a ghost. Even if what you are seeing looks like someone you know or knew it is not them. Many times demons will come in the form of deceased loved ones. They may even know a lot of information about them, but that is because they watched them and so they know a lot about them. They may have been watching the entire family for years. Do not engage with them or fall for their tricks.

There are a few different reasons you may be experiencing demonic activity in your home. You may have objects in your home that is attracting them. Occult/pagan items (décor, books, movies, tv shows, games, jewelry, etc.) create an open door to your house for the enemy. It is like opening the door wide open and laying out the welcome mat for them. Another issue could be they are there because of something that previously happened in the home or the previous owners. They could also just be trespassing with no legal rights to be there, or you could need personal deliverance (canceling legal rights and casting them out) because they are attached to you and not the home.

Steps to Spiritual House Cleaning

Any occult involvement: even if you view these things as innocent entertainment, they are very dangerous and can create major legal rights to your life and home. The enemy does not care what significance you place on these things, all he cares about is if it gives him legal rights to your life. There are numerous scriptures in the Bible that forbid our involvement with anything related to the occult, idols (other gods), and sorcery. These are just a few of them: Leviticus 19:31; Leviticus 20:6; Revelation 21:8; Isaiah 8:19; Revelation 22:15; Galatians 5: 19-21; Deuteronomy 18: 9-14; Micah 5:12; 2 Kings 23:24; Acts 19: 18-20 Colossians 2:8.

Examples of items: Ouija boards, Magic 8 Ball, levitation games, seances, fortune tellers, tarot cards, astrology, horoscopes, fascination with books about magic, psychics, seers, Harry Potter, Pokémon, vampire movies or books, werewolves books or movies, Halloween, Wiccan, witches, satanic rock music, Bloody Mary ritual, hexes or spells, voodoo, hoodoo, Law of Attraction, mediums, black/white magic, spirit guides, crystals, witchcraft/spells, satanism, palm reading, astral travel, lucky charms, demon worship, angel worship, clairvoyance/seeing the future, New Age, candle magic, hypnotism, taking oaths, dabbling in the occult out of curiosity, fairies, wizards, new age toys, burning sage, dream catchers, pagan beliefs or practices, energy healing, chakras, third eye, Eastern religions, acupuncture, mermaids, unicorns, reincarnation, past life regression, aliens, pentagrams, Yoga, Masonry, Eastern Star, Rainbow Girls, Oddfellows, Rebecca Lodge, Elk, Mormon, Gurus, Islam, Spiritism, Hinduism, Shriner, Christian Science, Jehovah’s Witness, Scientology, Buddhism, and other Secret Groups or False Religions

If you have any of these items remove them immediately and take them outside of your home. I suggest burning or destroying them, but either way make sure to get rid of them and do not sell them or give them away. We do not want to pass on any items that the enemy can use to torment anyone else.

After you get rid of them repent for having them in you home. After you have repented verbally tell any demons that were attached to those items that they must leave immediately in the name of Jesus. They are no longer welcome, there are no more legal rights for them to be there and they must go. Take a firm stance and take your home back. Treat them the same way you would any intruder. That is your home and they do not belong there. Your home is a place of peace and rest, and they must leave.

Example: “Listen demons I have cleaned my home out and there is nothing left here that is giving you legal rights to my life. You are a trespasser and you do not belong here. This is my house! My property, given to me by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and you are not welcome. Right now, in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ I command you to get out and do not come back. The door to my home is closed and sealed with the blood of Jesus. This home is dedicated to God, and this is His house, not yours. You may not remain, you may not try to bring fear, you may not linger here any longer. You may not enter this door every again. I command every single one of you to leave now. The Word of God gives me authority over you, and you must obey in the name of Jesus. The Word says you belong under my feet and that you are subject to me. I come in the name of Jesus and the power in the Word of God. I resist you and you will flee. No weapon you form against me will prosper. I hold up the shied of faith around my life, my home, and my family and it will resist every single fiery dart you try to throw at me! I send those darts right back into your camp! In the name of Jesus this torment stops now.”

Pray over any preowned items (this does not work for items that have an occult or pagan nature) that you have in your home and verbally break off anything that may be attached to them.  For example, “Lord, I pray that you would cancel any demonic attachment to any item in my home. I pray Your blood would flow over them in the spiritual realm and make them null, void, and powerless. I thank You for working in my life and home. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen”

Pray over your property and do this often, not just one and done. Anoint your home with oil. I like to put the oil at every doorway, window, and entrance. I pray for the Lord’s protection as I am anointing, and I also bind and rebuke demons in the name of Jesus. I put them on notice that every entry point is covered, and they may not cross the line of my property.       

Denounce and renounce any invitations that you have personally made to demons. You can say something like this: “I renounce and denounce any invitation to my home for all demons that I made either knowingly or unknowingly. You are no longer welcome here. You are now a trespasser. The blood of Jesus is against you. I command you to leave my property right now in the name of Jesus. You are not welcome here and you must go.”

Break and cancel agreement with anything that could have happened there in the past. You can do this by praying and asking God to break any demonic strongholds that occupy your property and for Him to cancel any demonic agreements, pledges, and assignments over the property and then ask for the blood of Jesus to cover them making them null, void, and powerless. Once you pray then verbally say something like: “I break, cancel, and demolish any demonic contracts, agreements, and assignments over this property in the name of Jesus. This home is covered by the blood of Jesus, and it does not matter what happened here in the past. Jesus covers the past, the present, and my future. Your time here is over, and you must leave in the name of Jesus.”

Dedicate your home to the Lord and verbally say it will be a house of prayer and then use it for a house of prayer. Play praise and worship music, verbally pray, and speak scriptures throughout your home.

Joshua 24:15 If it is unacceptable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Don’t Do

Smudging: this will actually attract demons and not expel them. The only way to make demons leave is through the authority of Jesus Christ. If you are trying any other method, it will not work. God/Jesus/Holy Spirit are the only ones who have authority over the demons, and they give us that authority to use over them as well.

If you try all the above and it does not work, ask God to show you the open door and what is causing the issue. If it persists you may need personal deliverance or someone else in your home may be inviting them in with their life or items. Also, it will only work if you are in a real relationship with Jesus Christ. We cannot use His authority unless we have a personal relationship with Him and are striving to live a Biblical life.
