Steps To Freedom | Your Marriage And Your Ancestry By Dr. D. K. Olukoya

Steps To Freedom

_At this point you need to deal with and overcome ancestral powers. You must obtain freedom from the powers of your father’s house. For your marriage to be wholesome there must be total freedom. Every evil pipe drawing ancestral problems into your marriage must be set on fire. You must counter the poison of ancestral power. To have a successful marriage and

experience complete success, the following steps must be taken;

THE STEPS

1. The new birth:- You must be born again. Confess your sins and surrender your life to Jesus. The new birth takes you away from any form of evil platform which was erected by your parents. As soon as you become born again, the devil has no legal power over you.

• Confession of sins:- You must confess every secret and open sins and ask for total forgiveness. Every unconfessed sin gives the devil an entry into your life. Strip yourself naked before the Lord and He will never neglect you.

• You must renounce all your sins. Don’t just confess your sins and asked for forgiveness, you must also make up your mind never to go back to them again.
• Prayerfully expose and destroy every form of evil foundation. You may need to stand as an official representative of your lineage by confessing ancestral sins and applying the blood of Jesus to the terrible platforms erected by your forefathers.

• You need to repair the altar of prayer. Demolish the altar of idolatry and build your life, destiny and marriage on a new altar.
• You need to build a new foundation by praying aggressively. If your

ancestors actually spent hundreds of year to put an evil foundation in place, to build a glorious foundation you must spend more than a few minutes in prayer. The foundation that will sustain you and shield you from attacks must be well built. Do not joke with this foundation since your future depends on it.

• You need to barricade yourself from any form of evil ancestral attack. You need to put very strong spiritual immunity in place. You must not allow what is happening to others to happen to you.

• Finally, you need to examine yourself at this point. In what areas have you been affected by these powers? Have you experienced setbacks in your marital journey? Do you experience like father like son, or like mother like daughter battles, or you have sex in the dream? Any dream of dirty wedding gown? Any dream that you are married to strange persons in the dream. You find your shoes missing or stolen in the dream (which represent marriage). Or you find yourself with only one pair of shoes in the dream. Do you dream of having your hair shaven? Any dream about your wedding day and no one

.attending the wedding? Do you eat in your dreams, or do you see masquerades in your dreams? Are you here, you find yourself returning to old places like your primary school, secondary school etc. You see yourself swimming in water? It means you have a war to wage against ancestral powers.

Many years back I was in New York for a crusade in a place called Brooklyn. A white lady came for counseling and I felt so sorry for her because she did not know the forces she was battling against. She noticed that her great great-grandmother, great-grandmother, grandmother and mother died of breast cancer. When she noticed the trend she quickly went to her surgeon and asked him to remove her two breasts, despite the fact that there was nothing wrong with them. When the cancer eventually came, when there were no breast to attack, it went ahead to attack her liver and it was this incident that brought her for prayers. It was from my mouth that she was hearing about ancestral powers for the first time. If there is any power that takes a man from hero to zero, that brings a man from grace to grass, it is these ancestral powers.

A very powerful church somewhere in Europe was going down until it was almost becoming nothing. Then a poor bus driver took over the church and it

was in his hands the church received a population explosion and became a rich and famous church. All of a sudden again, the ancestral powers that had determined the fate of the then poor bus driver struck. He started by trying to sleep with church girls and the girls went to report to the police, and had this pastor arrested and jailed. The ancestral powers took him back to his poverty and he went back to his poor bus-driving.

Ancestral powers are things you should not allow in your destiny. Most of our ancestors did not serve the living God, they served the devil and made alliances and entered into covenants with him. That is why the war against these powers should not be joked with. These forces may be in a family line for thousands of years and they might have defeated your parents and grandparents. By this, there will an urgent need for you to start a serious deliverance prayer to break free from these heartless demons.

There was a family in which no one lived above the age of 40. By the time they are getting to the age of 39 they would have a dream in which they would see seven people carrying a coffin. That automatically meant that person was the next on line to die. Whenever that person who was usually the head of the family died, a new head of the family would be chosen. Then it came to the turn of a particular man who had been made head of the family and he was of the age of thirty nine and a half years old. He told his wife about the issue and as advised by some friends they ran to prayer city for deliverance. It was at the deliverance programme that the revelation of their foundation was exposed. They had a very powerful ancestor in their family line who was a king. When this king died, they buried seven slaves alive with him. These slaves issued a curse on that family that no one in the family would grow above the age of forty. These slaves were the ancestral powers that were in charge of the situation of every member of their family The curse they issued grew up to be ancestral powers that monitored the death of everyone who approached the age 40. What a wicked spirit!

If there is any power that takes a man from hero to zero, that brings a man from grace to grass, it is these ancestral powers. A very powerful church somewhere in Europe was going down until it eventually became nothing. It was not until a bus driver took over the church. It was in his hands the church received a population explosion and became a rich and famous church. All of a

sudden, the ancestral powers came to attack the pastor. He started trying to sleep with church girls and the girls went to go and report to the police, and had this pastor arrested and jailed. The ancestral powers took him back to his bus driving.

Ancestral battles are real. When you make use of the prayer points at the end of this book you will experience unprecedented breakthroughs in your marriage, in Jesus’ name. The powers that will not let you go will do series of spiritual somersaults and die. You will be free to pursue your marital goals. Your steps will be smooth. You will find the right partner. Your home shall be built and your marriage shall be glorious. To be quiet honest with you, you have a lot of prayer battles to do. The results of the prayer session will depend on the aggression you put into every prayer point.
