SUMMARY OF DEMONIC OPENINGS  

We know that Satan and demons attack anyone and everyone, but why does it seem some are more demonically oppressed than others?  What is it that opens the door to demonic oppression or possession?

The most common avenue to demonic entrance is through a family line.  One person opens themselves to demonic influence and the demons claim them and all they have, including their children.  Then the same traits and influences pass on to the children and their children.  Occult and Satanic involvement by certain activities, drugs, some rock music, Ouija boards, etc. is another way the door is often open.  Cult involvement in the family, especially Masons, opens one up to demonic activity as well.  The Bible says that when 2 people have sex the two become one flesh and that allows demons who have access to one person to claim the other person as well.  Strong soul ties between two people, one of whom is open to demonizing, can have the same effect.  Abuse of any kind or any form of trauma, especially when young, opens one to demonic involvement.  Close friendship or partnership with someone open to the demonic can cause an opening as well.  Being unwanted when in the womb or young, any strong rejection, is a definite opening.  These are some of the main avenues demons use to gain entrance and attack people.

Ephesians 4:26-27 “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. 

If any of these are or have been present in your life and you haven’t closed the door to them, please do so know why confessing the sin, taking back any access it may have given to demons and commanding them to be gone in Jesus’ name.
