FAMILIAR SPIRIT- (1 SAM. 28:7,8) By Bern Zumpano, M.D.
This is the Old Testament term for “demon”. It is called “familiar” because it is assigned to families and their members. Satan has seen to it that ALL believers and unbelievers alike have these spirits assigned to them and the other family members for their destruction. It will minister the particular sin that some member of the family opened the door to in the past, to other family members. Thus, if an ancestor took an interest in fornication and opened that door Satan, an assignment against that family is formed and the familiar spirit of fornication will minister that sin down the family line to the descendants, carrying out the generation curse of fornication in that family line.
If great-great-grandpa was a fornicator, it is likely that great-grandpa and grandpa will have gotten into fornication at some time in their lives since the generations curse comes down 3-4 generations upon the children and descendants of the one who sinned. (Ex. 5:20) The remedy is to confess the sins of the ancestors and predecessors on all sides of one’s own families and the spouses families back to the families origins, repenting for grieving the Holy Spirit and for those whom they may have harmed, blessing the Lord and their descendants in restitution, asking the Lord’s forgiveness, and THEN breaking the generations curse in Jesus’ Name. (Lev. 26:40-45) The familiar spirit is not only familiar with you and all of your habits, but he was familiar with ALL of your ancestors and their habits, even 30 generations ago or two thousand years ago. He knows your family and its weaknesses well. More than one familiar spirit may be assigned to a person. Suspect the familiar spirit and generations curse when you see more than one of the same type of problem in a family line affecting more than one generation. For instance, multiple cases of diabetes mellitus, cancer, premature or sudden deaths, divorce, alcoholism, addictions, sexual immorality, adultery, fornication, etc. Even behavioral traits such as unbelief, resisting the Holy Spirit, lust, anger, mental or emotional problems that tend to run in families may represent demonic ministry of the familiar spirit. The familiar spirit will first affect the “priest” of the house, the head of the household with whom the anointing of the Holy Spirit upon the family members resides. Upon the death of the father of the family, the head of the household, the familiar spirit will pass down upon the first-born son, according to the pattern of Old Testament scripture.
