 Leviathan Overcoming the Spirit of Leviathan
By Pastor Miguel Bustillos, Deliverance Minister and Exorcist The Children's Bread Deliverance Ministry Website: www.deliverancexorcisms.com In the unseen realm of spiritual warfare, one formidable adversary often mentioned is the spirit of Leviathan. Known for its cunning nature and ability to sow discord, Leviathan is a formidable foe that can cause significant disruptions in our spiritual lives. But how can we recognize its presence and, more importantly, overcome it? The spirit of Leviathan operates subtly, weaving pride, confusion, and division into the fabric of our lives and communities. It twists words, manipulates truth, and fosters misunderstandings, leading to broken relationships and spiritual stagnation. Many believers find themselves caught in cycles of conflict and frustration, unable to identify the root cause of their struggles. This spiritual blindness hinders their growth and undermines the unity and love that should characterize the body of Christ. The key to overcoming the spirit of Leviathan lies in humility, prayer, and the power of God's Word. Scripture provides numerous examples of how humility dismantles pride, one of Leviathan's primary tools. James 4:6 reminds us, "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble." Engaging in regular prayer and seeking God's wisdom helps us discern and dismantle the enemy's tactics. Furthermore, Ephesians 6:12-18 equips us with the armor of God, essential for standing firm against any spiritual attack. By fostering a community of transparency, accountability, and love, we can resist Leviathan's influence and restore unity. Spiritual warfare requires vigilance and a reliance on God's strength and guidance. By recognizing the signs of Leviathan's influence and actively countering it with humility, prayer, and scriptural truth, we can protect ourselves and our communities from division and confusion. Remember, victory in spiritual warfare is assured through Christ, who empowers us to overcome any adversary. Stay vigilant, stay prayerful, and walk in the unity and love that God intends for His people.

website: www.deliverancexorcisms.com The concept of voodoo dolls, intertwined with practices of witchcraft and sorcery, often presents a profound challenge for Christians seeking to understand these phenomena from a Biblical perspective. This examination delves into the origins, types of magic employed with voodoo dolls, and the Biblical stance on such practices. Origins and Contemporary Use of Voodoo Dolls Voodoo dolls originate from African spiritual traditions and have been integrated into various cultural practices, most notably within Haitian Vodou. In this traditional context, voodoo dolls are used as spiritual tools for mediation between humans and the spiritual realm, often aiming for healing, guidance, or protection. However, the adaptation of voodoo dolls in popular culture and certain modern witchcraft practices sometimes portrays a darker usage, where these dolls are employed for harm or manipulation through specific types of magic. Types of Magic Employed with Voodoo Dolls 1. Sympathetic Magic: This form of magic is based on the principle that objects can be influenced through something that resembles them or has been in contact with them. In the case of voodoo dolls, practitioners often use personal artifacts like hair or pieces of clothing, believing that actions performed on the doll will directly affect the person represented. 2. Contagious Magic: A subset of sympathetic magic, contagious magic operates on the belief that things once in contact with a person can continue to affect them. Practitioners might incorporate personal items such as nails, skin, or blood into the doll, which are believed to strengthen the magical connection. 3. Spirit Invocation: This involves invoking spirits or deities to imbue the doll with certain powers. The ritual might be aimed at directing spiritual forces to carry out specific actions, like healing or hexing, through the medium of the doll. Biblical Perspective on Witchcraft and Magic The Bible provides clear directives regarding the practices of magic and witchcraft: - Old Testament Warnings: Deuteronomy 18:10-12 prohibits various forms of witchcraft and magic, labeling them as detestable to God. Such practices include divination, sorcery, and the casting of spells. - New Testament Teachings: Galatians 5:19-21 warns that those who engage in practices like witchcraft ("sorcery" in some translations) will not inherit the kingdom of God, emphasizing the spiritual danger associated with these acts. Christian Response to the Use of Voodoo Dolls For Christians, the appropriate response to the understanding and engagement with practices involving voodoo dolls includes: 1. Prayer and Spiritual Warfare: Ephesians 6:10-18 calls believers to put on the full armor of God to stand against the schemes of the devil, highlighting the importance of spiritual readiness. 2. Compassionate Outreach: Engaging lovingly with individuals involved in these practices, aiming to bring them towards the truth of the Gospel, is crucial. It involves not just correction but also providing support and guidance. 3. Education and Discernment: By becoming well-informed about these practices, Christians can better discern and educate others about the spiritual realities and dangers posed by witchcraft and similar practices. This involves promoting a Biblical understanding that emphasizes reliance on God's power and providence. Voodoo dolls, as used in various cultural and magical contexts, pose significant questions for Christians. Understanding these practices through a Biblical lens is essential for maintaining spiritual integrity and providing effective ministry in a world where such practices are sometimes glorified. The Bible's clear stance against witchcraft and sorcery directs believers towards reliance on God and the power of prayer, underscoring the importance of approaching all spiritual practices with discernment and faithfulness to Scripture.

website: www.deliverancexorcisms.com Understanding Demonic Obsession: A Spiritual Battle for the Mind In the realm of spiritual warfare, demonic obsession stands out as a profound and unsettling disturbance that can ensnare individuals in a relentless grip of intrusive thoughts. This spiritual affliction involves obsessive thoughts that a person has no control over, which persistently preoccupy their mind and divert their focus from God. Here, we explore the nature of demonic obsession, its effects on the individual, and the spiritual remedies available through Christian faith. The Nature of Demonic Obsession Demonic obsession occurs when a demon or unclean spirit imposes persistent thoughts upon an individual. Unlike ordinary temptations or mental health issues, these thoughts are intensely invasive and seem to originate outside the person's control. They are typically negative, distressing, and can involve blasphemous, violent, or otherwise disturbing content. The purpose of these thoughts is clear: to disrupt the person’s relationship with God, instill fear, create confusion, and foster isolation. Symptoms and Effects The primary symptom of demonic obsession is an overwhelming flood of obsessive thoughts that dominate the individual’s mental landscape. These thoughts are not just fleeting worries; they are invasive and persistent, often causing significant anxiety and spiritual turmoil. The person may struggle to pray, read the Bible, or engage in any religious activities due to their mind being preoccupied with these tormenting thoughts. Over time, this can lead to spiritual paralysis, where the individual feels disconnected from God and unable to maintain their religious practices. The Purpose Behind the Attack The goal of demonic obsession is to keep the person's thoughts anchored in fear and away from God. By constantly bombarding them with disturbing thoughts, the demon aims to exhaust the individual's mental and spiritual defenses, making it difficult for them to seek solace in their faith or to reach out to others for help. This isolation can make the individual more vulnerable to further demonic influences or even possession. Spiritual Remedies and Protection 1. Prayer and Fasting: Engaging in prayer and fasting is a powerful way to combat demonic influences. Prayer fortifies the spirit and reestablishes the connection with God, while fasting weakens the physical attachments that might be exploited by demonic forces. 2. Scriptural Engagement: Immersing oneself in the Bible helps to reinforce God’s truth and promises, acting as a shield against the lies and deceptions of demonic forces. 3. Seeking Spiritual Direction: Consulting with a priest, pastor, or a spiritual director who is knowledgeable about spiritual warfare can provide guidance and specific prayers for deliverance. 4. Community Support: Staying connected with a faith community not only provides emotional support but also strengthens one’s spiritual life through fellowship and collective prayer. Demonic obsession is a serious spiritual affliction that targets the mental and spiritual wellbeing of individuals, aiming to sever their connection with God. Recognizing the symptoms and understanding the nature of this attack are the first steps toward seeking help and reclaiming one’s spiritual peace. Through prayer, scriptural engagement, and the support of a faith community, those afflicted can find strength and deliverance. In the Christian journey, no one needs to face these battles alone; the power of Christ and the support of the community provide a formidable defense against demonic forces.  Rev. Dr. Miguel Bustillos, The Children's Bread Deliverance Ministry The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?” Zech 3:2
. Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.” But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side. Arise, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people Ps. 3:1-8 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness. Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me. Keep me free from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge. Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, Lord, my faithful God. Ps. 31:1-5 You are my strength, I watch for you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely. God will go before me and will let me gloat over those who slander me. Ps. 59:9-10 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me. The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever-- do not abandon the works of your hands. Ps. 138:7-9 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame. In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me; turn your ear to me and save me. Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. Do not be far from me, my God; come quickly, God, to help me. May my accusers perish in shame; may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace. As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day long-- though I know not how to relate them all. My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you-- I whom you have delivered. My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion. Ps. 71:1-3,12-15, 23-24 Deliver me from my enemies, O God; be my fortress against those who are attacking me. But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. You are my strength, I sing praise to you; you, God, are my fortress, my God on whom I can rely Ps. 59:1,161-7 Rescue me, Lord, from evildoers; protect me from the violent, who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day. They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent’s; the poison of vipers is on their lips. Keep me safe, Lord, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent, who devise ways to trip my feet. The arrogant have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and have set traps for me along my path. I say to the Lord, “You are my God.” Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy. Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle. Ps.140:1-7 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered. Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless. With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies. Ps. 108:5-6,12-13 Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord; may your love and faithfulness always protect me. For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me. Be pleased to save me, Lord; come quickly, Lord, to help me. May all who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” be appalled at their own shame. But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, “The Lord is great!” But as for me, I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my help and my deliverer; you are my God, do not delay. Ps. 40:11-17 Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me. Take up shield and armor; arise and come to my aid. Brandish spear and javelin[a] against those who pursue me. Say to me, “I am your salvation.” May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay. May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away; may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them. Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me, may ruin overtake them by surprise-- may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin. Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation. My whole being will exclaim, “Who is like you, Lord? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them.” Ps. 35:1-10  Title: The Dangers of Halloween: A Biblical Perspective
By Pastor Miguel Bustillos Exorcist and Deliverance Minister Introduction Halloween, with its costumes, candies, and spooky decorations, has become a widely celebrated holiday in many parts of the world. However, from a biblical perspective, there are concerns about the origins and practices associated with this holiday. In this blog, we will explore the potential dangers of Halloween and how Christians can approach it in a way that aligns with their faith. 1. The Origins of Halloween Halloween, which means "All Hallows' Eve," has roots in ancient Celtic and Druidic festivals, including Samhain, a holiday marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. In these pagan traditions, it was believed that on the night of October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred, and spirits could roam the earth. The Celtic people lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off these spirits. As Christians, it is essential to be aware of these pagan origins and remember that our faith encourages us to avoid any practices that might involve pagan rituals or superstitions (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). 2. Dark and Occult Themes Modern Halloween celebrations often embrace dark and occult themes, including witches, vampires, zombies, and other supernatural entities. These themes can glorify elements that are contrary to Christian beliefs. The Bible advises us to focus on things that are pure, lovely, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8). 3. Fear and Glorification of Evil Halloween often revels in fear and the glorification of evil. While some may argue that it's all in good fun, as Christians, we are reminded in 2 Timothy 1:7 that God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and self-discipline. Fear and evil should not be celebrated or trivialized. 4. Inappropriate Costumes One common practice on Halloween is the wearing of costumes. However, some costumes can be inappropriate and even offensive. As Christians, we are called to be mindful of our choices and actions, considering whether they align with biblical principles (1 Corinthians 10:31). 5. Alternative Approaches So, what should Christians do during Halloween? Avoid the holiday altogether, but if you feel you can't, then consider these alternative approaches: a. Educational opportunities: Teach your children about the historical origins of Halloween and its pagan roots. Use this as an opportunity to share the Gospel and discuss the importance of distinguishing between good and evil. b. Prayer and discernment: Pray for wisdom and discernment in how to navigate Halloween as a Christian. Seek guidance from your church community and spiritual leaders. Conclusion While Halloween has become a popular secular holiday, it is essential for Christians to approach it with discernment and consideration of its origins and practices. By focusing on the principles of our faith, we can navigate this holiday in a way that honors God and promotes values that align with the teachings of the Bible. Ultimately, it is up to each individual and family to make informed and prayerful decisions about their involvement in Halloween festivities. For Deliverance Ministry: www.deliverancexorcisms.com  The Ark of the Covenant Biblical angels are spiritual beings that have fascinated believers and non-believers alike for centuries. They are mentioned frequently throughout the Bible and are often depicted as powerful and majestic creatures with wings. In this blog, we will explore the role of angels in the Bible and what we can learn from them.
The word "angel" comes from the Greek word "angelos," which means messenger. In the Bible, angels are often sent by God to deliver important messages to people. For example, in the Gospel of Luke, the angel Gabriel appears to Mary to announce that she has been chosen to bear the son of God. In the book of Revelation, an angel appears to John to reveal the future and the end of the world. Angels are also portrayed as protectors and warriors. In the book of Daniel, an angel protects Daniel from the lions in the lion's den. In the book of Exodus, an angel leads the Israelites out of Egypt and protects them from their enemies. Angels are also believed to be involved in spiritual warfare, battling against demonic forces. In addition to their protective and messenger roles, angels are also associated with worship and praise. In the book of Isaiah, angels are depicted as constantly praising God and singing his praises. In the book of Revelation, angels are depicted as surrounding the throne of God, worshipping and praising him. Biblical angels are often described as radiant, beautiful, and awe-inspiring beings. They are typically portrayed with wings, which symbolize their ability to travel quickly and to transcend the physical world. However, it is important to note that the Bible does not specify the physical appearance of angels. Instead, it emphasizes their spiritual nature and their role as messengers of God. In conclusion, Biblical angels play a significant role in the Bible and are often portrayed as messengers, protectors, warriors, and worshippers. They are spiritual beings that transcend the physical world and are involved in both the spiritual and physical realms. While their appearance may be a subject of speculation and interpretation, their role in delivering God's messages and protecting his people is clear. As believers, we can learn from the angels' obedience and devotion to God and strive to emulate their example in our own lives. We are a deliverance ministry church. For deliverance ministry and inner healing: www.deliverancexorcisms.com  Pastor Miguel Bustillos, The Children's Bread Deliverance Ministry Church The Bible warns us to be cautious of false teachers and to stay away from their teachings. False teachers can lead people away from the truth of God's Word and can cause spiritual harm. In this blog, we will explore some of the reasons why we should stay away from false teachers according to the Bible.
1- False teachers distort the truth False teachers often twist and distort the truth of God's Word to fit their own agenda or beliefs. They may add or subtract from the Bible's teachings, leading people to believe things that are not true. The Bible warns us about this in 2 Peter 3:16, which says, "He [Paul] writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction." 2- False teachers can lead us astray False teachers can lead us down a path that is not aligned with God's will. Jesus warns us about this in Matthew 24:11, "And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray." When we follow false teachers, we risk being led away from the truth of God's Word and away from God's plan for our lives. 3- False teachers can cause division False teachers can cause division in the church by promoting their own beliefs and causing disagreements. In Titus 3:10, Paul warns us to avoid people who cause division in the church, saying, "As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him." 4- False teachers can be deceptive False teachers can appear to be good and even claim to be speaking on behalf of God, but in reality, they are deceptive. In 2 Corinthians 11:14-15, Paul warns us that Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light and that false teachers can do the same: "And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds." In conclusion, the Bible warns us to stay away from false teachers because they distort the truth, can lead us astray, cause division, and can be deceptive. Instead, we should seek out teachers who are grounded in the truth of God's Word and who can guide us in the ways of righteousness. As the Apostle John says in 1 John 4:1, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world."  Senior Pastor Miguel Bustillos of The Children's Bread Deliverance Church in Maryland Forgiveness is a vital concept in the Bible. It is mentioned over 100 times in the New Testament alone, and it is a fundamental principle that lies at the heart of Christian teachings. Forgiveness is the act of pardoning someone for a wrongdoing or an offense, and it is an essential part of living a Christian life. In this blog, we will explore what the Bible teaches about forgiveness and its importance in our lives
The Meaning of Forgiveness: Forgiveness is the act of letting go of bitterness, anger, and resentment towards someone who has wronged us. It involves releasing the person from the debt they owe us and choosing not to hold their offense against them any longer. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting what the person did or excusing their behavior, but it does mean choosing to show mercy and kindness towards them. The Importance of Forgiveness Forgiveness is essential to our relationship with God and with others. In the Bible, God's forgiveness of our sins is the basis of our salvation. When we repent and turn to Him, He forgives us completely and unconditionally. In turn, we are called to forgive others as God has forgiven us. Forgiveness also brings freedom and healing to our own lives. When we hold onto anger and bitterness towards someone, it can consume us and cause us to feel stuck in the past. Forgiveness allows us to move forward and experience the peace and joy that God desires for us. Forgiveness also has the power to restore relationships. When we forgive someone who has wronged us, it can create an opportunity for reconciliation and a chance to rebuild trust and intimacy. How to Forgive: Forgiveness is not always easy, and it can be a process that takes time. However, the Bible provides guidance on how we can extend forgiveness to others. Here are some key steps: Recognize the offense - Acknowledge the hurt that has been caused and the impact it has had on your life. Choose to forgive - Decide to let go of your anger and bitterness and extend forgiveness to the person who has wronged you. Pray for the person - Ask God to bless the person who has hurt you and to give you the strength to forgive them. Take action - Extend kindness and grace towards the person, and seek reconciliation if possible. In conclusion, forgiveness is a critical component of the Christian life. It is a powerful act that brings freedom and healing to our lives, restores relationships, and reflects the mercy and grace of God. As we seek to live a life that is pleasing to God, let us strive to be people who extend forgivenes. The Children's Bread Deliverance Ministry is a deliverance church. To receive deliverance: www.deliverancexorcisms.com  It's important to note that the Bible does not condone or promote the practice of witchcraft or any other form of sorcery or magic. The Bible makes it clear that such practices are sinful and are to be avoided.
If you or someone you know is struggling with the power of witchcraft, here are some steps you can take:
if you practiced witchcraft you are in need of deliverance. Contact us at www.deliverancexorcisms.com  There are a lot of people out there that believe that they can control and manipulate demons to do their bidding. These people include satanist, witches, diviners, conjurers, tarot card readers and fortune tellers. Nothing can be further from the truth. In fact, we find that is often the opposite. The demon waits patiently for the perfect timing to turn against them. Demons are not to be trusted. They want to destroy you. They may act friendly at first, but when they have you, they will always show their true nature.
Many times during deliverance sessions demons have said how much they wish they could get their hands on my team members or myself. They want to kill us all. But God would not allow it. Demons hate you because you were made in God's image. There if no love in them. They are full of deception and hate. Demons are not your friends. They even hate each other. They are sadistic in nature and enjoy making people suffer. Stay away from them, and use your delegated authority to fight them off in Jesus' name.
