How To Get Hell Out of Your House | Jentezen Franklin

of my heart that God wants His presence, not just in our churches, but in our homes, in our marriages, and in our families. And I felt the Lord strongly impress upon me to share this because the enemy is coming against your home. He wants to bring division, strife, bitterness, addiction, anything He can use to steal the peace and unity God desires for your family. But I want you to know today that the enemy does not have the final word over your house. I believe God is going to take this message. It's an important message. And He's going to direct it to families and restore what the enemy is trying to destroy. If you need help in your home, this is the message you need to hear. It's entitled "How to Get Hell out of Your House." Together we're inspiring people to live for Jesus. If you're looking for more in life, to live with purpose and peace, to make a difference for your family, and those in need around the world, Jesus is the answer. And our mission is to simply point you to Him. You're watching Kingdom Connection with Jensen Franklin. If you have your Bibles, open them with me to the book of Leviticus chapter 14. This is one of the strange instructions of the Old Testament that is full of types and shadows that are lessons to us today concerning our homes, our families, our marriages, our children, our relationships. In verse 33 or 34, God spoke to Moses in there and saying, "You have come into the land of Canaan, which I gave you as a possession, and I put a leprous plague in a house in the land of your possession." And He who owns the house comes and tells the priest saying, "It shall be that there's some plague in the house. Then the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest go into it to examine the plague. All that is in the house may not be made and clean, and afterward the priest shall go into examine the house. Do an examination of the house. Go through the house. Notice the condition of the house. Turn to somebody and say, "How's your house doing? How's your home? How's your family doing? How's your house doing? How's it doing? How is it? Every now and then you need to say, "How's our family doing? Have we gone crazy?" How we do it? And He shall examine the plague. Indeed, the plague is in the walls of the house with ingrained streaks, greenish or reddish, then grained streaks, greenish or reddish, which appear to be deep in the wall. Then the priest shall go out of the house, the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days, and the priest shall come again seven days later and look, and indeed if the plague has spread on the walls of the house, then the priest shall command that they take away the stones, which is the plague, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city, and He shall cause the house to be scraped inside all around dust, and they shall

scrape off and shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city. Verse 43 says, "If the plague comes back into the house after that, verse 44, then the priest shall come and look, and indeed if the plague has spread in the house, it is active leprosy in the house, it is unclean." And I won't take time to read it all, but verse 49 says, "And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, cedarwood." No, this is very important. Cedarwood is a type of the cross, two birds are symbolic of a sacrifice. Scarlet is, we know that at Calvary there was the scarlet robe and the hyssop. That's what they pressed to Jesus' mouth on the cross was hissop. All of the types of the blood of Jesus Christ and take cedar wood and hissop and scarlet and the living bird and dip him in the blood of the slain bird and the running water and sprinkle the house seven times he shall cleanse the blood of sacrifice would be sprinkled on the physical dwelling place the house seven times he shall cleanse the house with blood of the bird and running water and the living bird with the cedar wood the hissop and the scarlet and then let the living bird loose outside the city and open the field and make atonement for the house and it shall be clean and so i'm preaching today on how to get hell out of your house so i want you to see this with me for just a moment the strange story in the old testament but it is so powerful and relevant to our homes today in the book of isiah chapter four god said i want my glory to be released on my tabernacle and on your dwelling places god said i just don't want my presence in church i don't want the glory just to be in powerful services and settings of worship but i really desire to see my glory be upon your dwelling places which is your home your physical house apartment wherever you live god says i want my glory on your home as a defense as a defense because the glory over the tabernacle was a cloud and fire and it was a defense over them that really hid them from the Egyptians when it was there and so god says i want my glory not just there but i want it on and over and in your dwelling places your physical homes i want my glory there god said i want you to examine these homes and i want you to look for streaks in the walls because what they would do is they had heard how when they came out of Egypt that the Israelites spored the Egyptians and took their gold and they said we don't want them to get our gold so we're going to hide it in the walls and many times they would melt their gold down into idle demon gods and they would put them in the walls and even though the Israelites with the naked eye could not see what was behind the walls of in secrecy hidden there god said i can see behind the walls in the house i can see the secrecy of things that other people can't see and he said i don't want my people who have come out by the blood of the lamb to go into the promised land and enter into homes they

did not build and enter into the curses of those demon gods in the walls so i'm going to manifest those demon gods by putting streaks in the walls and they'll be red and green streaks and this is all types and shadows of things that i will show you and it won't take me long today but i want to just set it up the sign that something much deeper is going on in the in the home they may have good wallpaper on it you may not be able to see it in a lot of homes today a lot of families today they put on a good show and they know how to cover up things good but god sees behind the walls and god sees what's going on even in the secret places and so god says call for the priest if you see these streaks in the walls it's me manifesting something and let the priests come and consecrate that home consecrate that home i want it to be anointed i want it to be consecrated i want it to be sprinkled with the blood of sacrifice the physical home i want every evil act in that place to be denounced by a priest and i want that place to not be inhabited by evil spirits and so this week even we have had some challenges that are unusual and and so on and so i won't go into detail but our family failed and we were all together this week for the most said, "You should do this, Dad. We need to do this." And I thought, well, you know, there comes a moment when the children are helping the parents in the little spiritual walk. Isn't that amazing? And we took all this week, and we anointed a house that we were in, and we anointed it with all. We anointed the doors. We anointed, walked down the halls, walked and anointed any and everything. You don't know what's been going on. I'm not being spooky this morning. I'm being biblical. And I'm talking about the thought hit us. This has never been dedicated to the Lord. Let's dedicate it to the Lord, and we did. And it was powerful. It was powerful. It wasn't for a minute. It took a while, but it was powerful. He said, "Clean it out because one translation called it anger. Angry leprosy must go. Bickering must go. These are lightning rods for demon spirits, bickering, strife, slamming doors, screaming, fusses and fights, unforgiveness, family against family." Psalms 133, oh, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren and sister and especially, to dwell together as the Father of four daughters, sister and to dwell together in unity. You and I tithe. You and I tithe. How good, how pleasant it is to dwell together in unity. Next verse is so powerful. It's like the precious, the old that ran down. It brings the anointing. Next verse, it's like the, for there where there's unity, there the Lord commands the blessing. If God can get families to loving one another and standing in unity, there is a commanded there blessing on that property. And it's so powerful. And that's why the

enemy fights and tries to divide families because he knows that when we're unified, there's an anointing on unity always that begins to flow. So you cannot be bitter. You cannot hold on to grudges. You cannot be filled with unforgiveness and offense at someone. Offences will come. It will happen. Misunderstandings will happen. But God has called you to anoint your house, not curse your house with generational bitterness. But in the name of Jesus, run that devil out, get that streak out of the wall and say, we will serve the Lord and forgive and love one another. The real problem is in the foundation of the house. One thing that can make atonement for the house is the blood of Jesus Christ. I need you to take a praise, break if you believe he loves you, and he's concerned about your home. Hallelujah. How you, I'm going to give you some things that cause his streaks in the walls, welcoming zones and environments that devils like to inhabit. How you compromise with friends or activities. Have you done that? Are you compromising? Are you running with people that are bad influence? What kind of friends? What kind of activities are you picking back up stuff that you gave to God and walked away from? And when you were right with the Lord and when you came off the 21 fast day fast, the Lord had severed that relationship or severed that thing from your life. And then when you're not quite as spiritually minded, you pick it back up and bring it back into your life. Please hear me. Have you compromised with friends or activities? You give the enemy entry rights, immoral company, people who talk filthy, people who encourage you to leave your marriage and go out and do whatever's right for you. If all three of your friends are not married anymore and don't believe in marriage and are mad all the time, maybe, maybe you need to get some new friends that you can see some people do have marriages that last. Come on. Say a man, somebody. And they're not ever encouraging you in your marriage if you're in one. Are you, are you, what kind of speaking? You know, demons are like leeches. They just get fatter and fatter. They just begin to suck the life out of a home and a love of family. And so are you speaking, blessing or cursing words, down rating, spewing words?

Life and death are in the power of the tongue. And just, I just want you to know that the Bible said that it's important to make your children be obedient. Do you require obedience from your children in your house? Are you being a parent to your children? You're not their best friend. You want always, they want like the decisions. No, you're not gonna spend the night over there. No, you're not going to that party. You gotta, you gotta pick your mountains, but I don't understand parents that will buy the keg and say, I just want them in a safe environment and here's a box of condoms, go to work. You've lost your mind. That's a pathetic parent that does that. I'm just telling you, we need the truth. We don't need our ears tickled. We need a conscience. We need holiness. We need something in us. I mean, if your daddy don't ever stop you from going out when you're showing your belly button and you got your shorts up to your whatever there and it's half an, no, no, no, no, no. That's a daddy. That's what a daddy does. - How do you remove the streets number one, anoint your house? You do it. Do you know that when I first passed our free chapel,

we only had, you know, a few hundred people and it was easier because I could do more things. But one time I preached the sermon and the Lord impressed me to go to every business in the church, anybody that would invite me in the church to go to their business with a bottle of oil. I was crazy back then. And anoint their business that, 'cause we had a building program that we needed resources. And I went, I got to go into those businesses and anoint them with oil. And some of them would do it real private. And sometimes back then you wrote everything out. You didn't have computers and they had the schedule and it was empty and they had to, one of me, the anoint the order forms. And I just anointed with oil and started consecrating the businesses to God. I did it three and four a day for weeks and weeks and weeks and months. And I would go and meet and ask God to bless it. And do you know, the resources started coming in. And this building's debt free, that building's debt free. All the campuses are debt free, everything. Don't tell me God will take whatever you consecrate and anoint to him. You're not acknowledging him. You're acting like it's all supposed to be you making everything successful. He said, you shall remember Deuteronomy 818.

It is the Lord that gives you the power to get wealth. The Lord. So if there's connections to the occult world, Ouija boards, tarot cards, crystals, get them out. Have a, have a, go have a burning back in your yard. Get all your old nasty books, get all your junk, get it, get all your stuff and take it out there. You got any witchcraft, you got any new age books, take it out there and burn it. Because you have right lightning rods and those spirits may be your friend for a little while, but they never stay that way. They come for one reason to kill, steal and destroy it. They will bring, they will turn it. It's fun, it's fascinating, ooh, it's powerful. Wow, this is real, it is real. And you're playing with fire. Speak a blessing over your house. How do you speak a blessing over your house? Joshua said it as for me and my, everybody say it as for me and my, one more time as for me and my house. What a blessing to speak as you're anointing it with. We will serve the Lord and then shout about it a little bit. Here's another way. Here's another way, serve communion in your home. Serve communion in your home. My mother loves to do this at Christmas. She doesn't have a lot of things that she wants the family to, communion, make it, make it a, not just a holiday, a holy day.

The atmosphere of disunity must be broken. Some homes are just the right atmosphere for Satan, but that can change in this very service this morning. I just felt like the Lord said that James 3 and verse 16 would be the key to it all. For where, for where envy and strife is, there is confusion. Listen to this and every evil work. The number one thing that opens homes to evil spirits is envy and strife. Envy, envy, envy of your siblings, envy of this, envy of that, you've got to forgive, you've got to release bitterness, you've got to release a fence, you've got to stop it, you've got to stop it with you, you've got to, you must do this. It's, it's streaks in the walls. If you don't forgive, stop resenting your parents. Even if they left you, God may have trusted them to bring you into the world, but he didn't trust them to take you through because had they done it, you wouldn't be where you are. So just, just the Bible said the secret things belong to the Lord. There's some things you just have to say, God, I give that to you, but I'm just going to praise you and have a good spirit. I love you.
