ask yourself some questions:

The spirit of death tried to kill Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego but God said no. So, it could not kill them. It tried to kill Daniel. Its agent made sufficient attempt. Those who threw him into the lion’s den definitely wanted to kill him but God said no. But if Daniel lacked knowledge, he would have died.

Revelation 1:18 says, “I am he that liveth and was dead, behold, I am alive for ever more. Amen. And have the keys of hell and of death.”

Do I experience constant fear? If the answer is yes, you are in the grip of fear and must be loosed. Do I feel lifeless sometimes and get sick of living? If the answer is yes, you need to pray . How long do the members of your family live? At what age did your father and mother die? Your uncles, how old were they? If you find that they were cut off at the prime of their lives you need to pray.

Do you have a family shrine or a family altar?

If you do, you have to pray seriously.

Have you ever participated in a sacrifice to demon or ritual before? You may actually be killing yourself when you are slaughtering that ram for sacrifice so you have to pray seriously. Do you have any sickness that defies medical diagnosis? Then you really need to pray. Have you undergone surgical operation more than once? Then you should pray seriously.

Have you ever been addressed as the re-incarnation of somebody? Are you respected and called honourable names because it is believed that you were somebody before? Then you really need to pray very hard. Or does your own father prostrate for you simply because he feels you are his mother that died?

Have you ever used charms to protect your life, or you have a blessed picture, or used blessed soap, sponge, cream or perfume? You need to pray.

Were you terribly sickly when you were very young and they carried you all over the place and eventually they took you to a place where they said okay, “We shall preserve his or her life?” You need to pray.

Are you the kind of person that can be described as being very stubborn? The problem with stubborn people is that they die suddenly, just like Pharaoh. Are you addicted to alcohol, tobacco and sex? Then you need to pray.

Are you the kind who always experience terrible menstrual period and you have tried medicine to no avail and doctors have advised you to keep boyfriends? You need to pray.

Do you experience sleepless nights? Do you experience dizziness often? Then you need to pray. Are you getting leaner and leaner in spite of the fact that you are the greatest eater in your family? Do you get moody and angry without any cause? Do you have unnatural heat or something moving all over your body? If such a thing is there, do you want to wait until it gets to your heart and grips it?

Do you discuss with voices within you and you know that the voices are not the voice of the Holy Spirit? Do you sometimes sense an invisible presence of evil when you are alone? Or do they press you down on your bed? Are you the kind who wake up in the morning with scratches and incisions on your body? Have you ever dreamt of discussing with dead relatives and eating with them? If your answer to some of these questions is yes, the truth is that you are under the grip of either the spirit of death itself or its strange children.

And whether you like it or not you shall be released, in Jesus’ name.
