www.deliverancexorcisms.com In deliverance ministry, one of the most cunning and destructive spirits we confront is Asmodeus, often referred to as the demon of lust. This powerful principality works tirelessly to corrupt the soul, destroy marriages, and enslave individuals to perversion and sexual immorality. Asmodeus is not just a mythological figure or fictional character; he is a real demonic presence whose influence is evident in the growing sexual depravity and confusion in today’s world. Who is Asmodeus? The name Asmodeus appears in ancient Jewish texts, most notably in the Book of Tobit (part of the Apocrypha), where he is portrayed as a demon who kills the husbands of Sarah before they can consummate their marriage. He is traditionally associated with lust, jealousy, and vengeance—especially in romantic or sexual relationships. While not named in the canonical Bible, the spirit of lust and sexual corruption that Asmodeus embodies is addressed extensively in Scripture. Jesus warned in Matthew 5:28: "But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." The Works of Asmodeus Asmodeus operates under the kingdom of darkness as a strongman of lust. His tactics include:
This spirit enslaves both men and women through unclean soul ties, defiling dreams, and obsessive thoughts. Often, those under Asmodeus’ influence feel deep shame and guilt, yet struggle to break free, even when they are believers. Biblical Signs of His Influence Some signs that a person may be under the influence of Asmodeus include:
The Goal of Asmodeus: Destruction Asmodeus comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). His goal is to pollute the temple of the Holy Spirit—your body—and ultimately separate you from God’s presence. He knows that if he can enslave a believer in lust, it will bring shame, spiritual stagnation, and even disqualification from ministry. Deliverance from Asmodeus Praise God, there is freedom through the blood of Jesus Christ! Steps to Break Free:
Asmodeus may be powerful, but he is no match for the name of Jesus. Freedom is not only possible—it is promised to those who seek it in Christ. If you or someone you know is struggling with lust, know that you are not alone. There is healing, restoration, and deliverance available. At The Children’s Bread Deliverance Ministry, we have helped thousands find freedom from the chains of lust, perversion, and demonic oppression. Need Help?

The Occult Origin of the Labubu Dolls: A Warning to Christians
By Pastor Miguel Bustillos www.deliverancexorcisms.com A disturbing trend is making its way into homes and social media feeds across the globe: Labubu dolls. With their mischievous grins, pointed ears, and otherworldly features, they may look like innocent collectibles to the untrained eye—but spiritually, they are anything but harmless. These dolls are part of “The Monsters” series by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, in partnership with designer toy company Pop Mart. But beyond the plastic and paint lies something far more dangerous: occultic influence rooted in ancient Nordic mythology. Labubu and Its Nordic Occult Roots The character “Labubu” is modeled after mythical creatures known in Nordic and Germanic folklore as imps, forest spirits, or nature tricksters. In pre-Christian Scandinavian beliefs, these entities were often regarded as spirits of the woods, sometimes helpful but more often mischievous or malevolent. They were said to dwell in shadows, hide in forests, and interact with humans to cause confusion, torment, or misfortune. In Norse mythology, spiritual entities often had dual natures: appearing friendly on the outside while hiding dark intentions. These beings were commonly linked to pagan deities, nature worship, and animistic rituals—all practices explicitly condemned in Scripture. Spiritual Symbolism Hidden in Plain Sight Labubu’s features aren’t random. They’re steeped in spiritual symbolism:
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.” — Isaiah 5:20 Demonic Influence Through Objects Labubu may appear playful, but these dolls are modeled after spirit beings once invoked in pagan rituals. And while people no longer bow before idols made of wood and stone, Satan’s tactics have evolved. He now uses cultural objects, media, and trinkets to create spiritual access points into people’s lives. Scripture warns us in Deuteronomy 18:10–12 not to engage with anything related to spiritism, witchcraft, or sorcery. Even items with innocent appearances can become carriers of spiritual oppression if their origins are rooted in darkness. As a deliverance minister, I’ve encountered many cases where demonic harassment was linked to cursed objects—particularly those based on folklore or pagan myths. Labubu falls squarely into this category. What Should Christians Do?
Labubu dolls may be trending, but so is the normalization of the occult. These are not just toys. They are part of a spiritual agenda to desensitize this generation—especially children—to the demonic. Rooted in Nordic occult beliefs, inspired by pagan forest spirits, and presented as “cute” collectibles, Labubu is a clear example of how Satan disguises darkness in the form of light. “For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” — 2 Corinthians 11:14 Guard your gates. Warn your loved ones. And above all, stay spiritually awake. By Pastor Miguel Bustillos, Deliverance Minister and Exorcist
www.deliverancexorcisms.com In a recent teaching, Mark Chase of Invicta Ministries (Fort Lauderdale) brought to light a troubling mindset that is creeping into the modern Church—especially among believers who dismiss the possibility of demonic influence simply because they are “born again.” This same attitude was present in John 8:33, when the Pharisees responded to Jesus’ offer of freedom by saying: “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been in bondage to anyone.” They claimed spiritual heritage, but ignored spiritual reality. Despite their long history of captivity—Egypt, Babylon, and Roman rule—they still insisted they had no bondage. Their pride blinded them to their true condition. And today, many Christians echo this same deception: “I’m saved. I’m born again. I can’t have a demon.” Spirit, Soul, and Body — Understanding the Difference It is crucial to understand the triune nature of man: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 says: “May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless…” Spirit – This is the part of us that is reborn at salvation. It is sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13) and belongs to God. Soul – This includes our mind, will, and emotions. It is not automatically renewed at salvation and must be sanctified (Romans 12:2). Body – This is the physical temple. It can be defiled and is susceptible to sickness, oppression, and even demonic attack. So when we say a Christian cannot have a demon, what we really should be saying is this: “A Christian’s spirit cannot be possessed by a demon—but their soul or body can absolutely be oppressed, afflicted, or even inhabited.” Demons do not enter the spirit of a born-again believer—they exploit the soul wounds, trauma, unforgiveness, and open doors in the mind and body. This is why so many Christians continue to suffer from depression, addictions, lust, chronic illness, confusion, torment, and more—even though they’ve accepted Christ. Pride that Says “I Cannot Be in Bondage” Just like the Pharisees, some believers declare with boldness: “I have never been in bondage. I’m a child of God.” But the fruit of their lives tells a different story. They are saved but tormented. They are anointed but angry. They worship on Sunday but secretly struggle Monday through Saturday. When they hear the message of deliverance, they often reject it—not because it’s unbiblical, but because it confronts their pride. John 8:34 – “Jesus answered them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.’” Being born again is the beginning of a journey—not the end of sanctification. Deliverance is not about questioning someone’s salvation; it’s about confronting what is still attached to the soul and body and has not yet been surrendered to Christ. Deliverance is for the Believer Jesus said in Mark 7:27, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” Deliverance is the children’s bread. It is for God’s people, not outsiders. The unsaved need salvation. The saved need freedom. Many of the people Jesus delivered were believers in God—but still afflicted. Likewise, the early Church cast out demons from believers (Acts 8, Acts 16). Paul warned of doctrines of demons in the Church, not just the world (1 Timothy 4:1). The Pharisee Spirit in the Church Today Mark Chase rightly pointed out that pride has become a mask for many. Rather than humble themselves and seek healing, they declare, “That could never happen to me—I’m saved.” But this was the exact heart posture that kept the Pharisees from receiving freedom from the very Messiah they were waiting for. A Christian may have the Holy Spirit in their spirit—but still have unclean spirits tormenting their mind or body. This doesn’t mean they’re not saved. It means there is unfinished work of sanctification and healing. Humility Brings Freedom Jesus said in John 8:36, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” But He cannot free someone who refuses to admit they’re bound. Deliverance is not about shame—it’s about freedom. It’s for born-again believers who want to walk in total healing across their spirit, soul, and body. Let us not make the mistake of the Pharisees. Let us walk in humility, recognize our need, and invite Jesus not just to save us—but to cleanse us completely. Written by Pastor Miguel Bustillos
To receive deliverance ministry or exorcism, go to www.pastormiguel.com The battleground of spiritual warfare is the mind. Scripture warns us to “be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). One of Satan's greatest strategies is to infiltrate and corrupt the human mind, where thoughts are formed, decisions are made, and spiritual discernment takes place. When demons target a person, their goal is not only to torment the body but to devastate the mind. 1. Planting Deceptive Thoughts Demons begin by whispering lies and planting seeds of deception. These thoughts may sound like the person's own inner voice:
2. Creating Mental Bondage Once lies are accepted, strongholds begin to form. A stronghold is a fortress of wrong thinking that opposes the knowledge of God. The apostle Paul wrote, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds” (2 Corinthians 10:4). These strongholds may manifest as:
3. Distorting Reality Another way demons destroy the mind is by distorting how a person perceives themselves, others, and God. This can lead to paranoia, hallucinations, or delusions. A once-loving person may become suspicious, cold, and isolated. Their ability to reason and discern spiritual truth is weakened. Romans 1:28 speaks of those who are given over to a “reprobate mind” — a mind void of sound judgment. 4. Feeding on Trauma Demons often enter through trauma and use it to deepen mental torment. Abuse, neglect, abandonment, or exposure to witchcraft can open doors. The demonic kingdom will replay the trauma over and over, locking the person into a cycle of emotional and mental torment. This prevents healing and drives the person deeper into despair, bitterness, and mental fragmentation. 5. Blocking the Mind from Receiving Truth The enemy also seeks to block the mind from understanding or accepting the Gospel. 2 Corinthians 4:4 explains, “The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not.” Even Christians can experience this in areas where deception or unforgiveness has taken root. Hope for the Oppressed The good news is that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). Through deliverance and inner healing, the demonic influence over the mind can be broken. The renewing of the mind (Romans 12:2) is not just a psychological process—it’s a spiritual transformation brought by the Holy Spirit. If you are tormented in your mind, do not suffer in silence. Seek help through prayer, deliverance ministry, and counseling. Jesus is still setting captives free today. ![]() Pastor Miguel Bustillos, deliverance minister and exorcist website: www.deliverancexorcisms.com Are you experiencing unexplained emotional distress, persistent spiritual struggles, or recurring negative patterns in your life?

By Pastor Miguel Bustillos website: www.deliverancexorcisms.com When Paul returned to Jerusalem in Acts 21, he was met with concern from the Apostles and elders—not because they denied the New Covenant, but because they were trying to manage a delicate transition within the early Church. This moment raises an important question: Why were the Apostles, who believed in Christ and the New Covenant, still concerned about Paul’s relationship to the Law of Moses? 1. The Early Church Was in Transition: The Church was undergoing a major shift—from the Old Covenant, based on the Law of Moses, to the New Covenant, established through the blood of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 8:6–13). While the Apostles preached salvation by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8–9), many Jewish believers still held tightly to their traditions. These believers accepted Jesus as the Messiah but continued to practice circumcision and temple rituals—not for salvation, but as part of their identity (Acts 21:20). 2. Rumors and the Need for Unity: Rumors spread that Paul was teaching Jews living among the Gentiles to abandon the Law of Moses entirely (Acts 21:21). This caused alarm among the leaders in Jerusalem. To prevent confusion and offense, they asked Paul to take part in a public purification ritual (Acts 21:23–24). Paul agreed—not because he believed these rituals were necessary for salvation, but because he wanted to maintain unity and prevent division. He wrote elsewhere, “To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews...” (1 Corinthians 9:20). 3. The Apostles Were Not Rejecting the New Covenant: The Apostles did not believe salvation came through the Law. This had already been settled in Acts 15 at the Jerusalem Council, where it was made clear that Gentiles were not obligated to keep the Law of Moses (Acts 15:10–11, 19–20). However, many Jewish believers still valued their customs and heritage, and the Apostles were working to shepherd them into deeper understanding. 4. A Lesson in Wisdom and Humility: Paul’s decision was a strategic act of humility. He was not compromising the Gospel—he was applying wisdom. Avoiding unnecessary offense in non-essential matters is part of the spiritual maturity required in leadership (Romans 14:1–6; 1 Corinthians 10:32–33). Final Thoughts: The confrontation in Acts 21 wasn’t about rejecting the New Covenant—it was about preserving unity and managing the growth of the Church during a time of cultural transformation. As ministers of deliverance and truth, we too must balance conviction with compassion, and doctrine with discernment. By Pastor Miguel Bustillos
www.deliverancexorcisms.com Throughout history, societies have struggled with discerning and monitoring the influences of witches and spirits. Understanding this subject through historical context and spiritual discernment can equip modern believers to identify and respond effectively to spiritual warfare. Historical ContextHistorically, concerns about witches and spirits date back to ancient civilizations. For example, in biblical times, King Saul consulted the witch of Endor (1 Samuel 28), revealing an ancient awareness of witchcraft's real spiritual implications. Similarly, in medieval Europe, fears of witchcraft resulted in widespread panic, leading to inquisitions and trials such as those witnessed in Salem, Massachusetts, during the infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Historically, people often tried to identify and monitor witches through questionable methods such as trials by ordeal or relying on superstition. While these methods are now rightfully seen as unjust and misguided, the underlying recognition of spiritual influence remains relevant. Biblical Perspective on MonitoringThe Bible emphasizes discernment and vigilance rather than fear-based superstition. Christians are encouraged to:
Practical Discernment TodayModern Christians should focus on practical discernment methods to monitor spiritual influences:

The Children's' Bread Deliverance Minsitry website: www.deliverancexorcisms.com Pastor Zachary Kibet Rotich of Bethel for Jesus Ministry International in Bomet County, Kenya, has been charged with assault following the emergence of a viral video depicting him allegedly flogging congregants, primarily women, in purported exorcism rituals. After evading authorities, Pastor Rotich surrendered to Chebunyo Police Station and was subsequently arraigned before Resident Magistrate Mbethi Michuki. He pleaded not guilty to assaulting Mercy Cherotich in Kapkimolwo Village, Itembe location, and has been remanded in police custody for seven days pending further investigations. The video also shows church members allegedly burning a woman over a fire in an attempt to exorcise demons, sparking public outrage and leading to increased scrutiny of the church's practices. Established in 2015, Bethel for Jesus Ministry International reportedly altered its doctrines in 2023, with leaders claiming enhanced powers to cast out demons. Female congregants are required to wear white headscarves and long dresses during services held on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Performing exorcisms without proper training poses significant dangers, including the potential for physical and psychological harm to individuals undergoing such rituals. Untrained practitioners may misinterpret mental health issues as demonic possession, leading to inappropriate and harmful interventions. The Catholic Church, for instance, mandates that exorcisms be performed only by trained clergy who adhere to established protocols, ensuring that individuals receive appropriate care and protection. This incident underscores the critical need for oversight and regulation of religious practices to prevent abuse and protect vulnerable individuals from harmful, untrained interventions.

The Children's Bread Deliverance Ministry www.deliverancexorcisms.com In today's world, marked by chaos, addiction, and brokenness, the ministry of deliverance stands as a beacon of hope and restoration. Rooted in Scripture and exemplified by Jesus Christ, deliverance offers freedom to those oppressed by spiritual forces. Revivalist Isaiah Saldivar emphasizes that this ministry is not optional but a fundamental calling for all believers. A Biblical Mandate for Deliverance Saldivar asserts that deliverance was central to Jesus' mission and should be integral to Christian practice today. He references Mark 16:17, where Jesus declares, "These signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues." This passage underscores the authority granted to believers over unclean spirits and the responsibility to expel them. Ignoring the reality of spiritual warfare leaves Christians vulnerable. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, "For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." Engaging in deliverance is essential to counteract these forces and protect our communities. The Rising Tide of Demonic Influence Modern culture has seen a surge in demonic activity, often disguised as entertainment or self-help. Saldivar points to the normalization of demonic influence through music, movies, and social media, leading individuals to unwittingly open doors to the enemy. Incidents of mass violence, addiction, and depression are viewed as manifestations of a deeper spiritual crisis. The urgency for the church to recognize and combat these influences has never been greater. Deliverance as a Tool for Restoration The essence of deliverance is liberation. Saldivar emphasizes that it's not about inducing guilt or focusing on demonic entities but about freeing individuals to experience the abundant life Jesus promised. John 10:10 states, "The thief does not come, except to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." Through deliverance, countless people have been released from years of addiction, depression, and torment, showcasing the transformative power of Jesus. Equipping the Church for Battle A significant concern is the church's preparedness to address spiritual warfare. Saldivar laments that many congregations have shifted focus to self-help, neglecting the spiritual battles their members face. He advocates for a return to biblical teachings on deliverance, empowering believers to recognize and combat demonic influences effectively. In conclusion, the ministry of deliverance is a vital aspect of the Christian faith, offering freedom and restoration in a troubled world. By embracing this calling, believers can stand against the rising tide of darkness, bringing hope and healing to those in need. Throughout history, there have been accounts of malevolent spiritual entities known as incubus and succubus—demonic spirits believed to engage in sexual activity with humans, often during sleep. These spirits have been widely discussed in folklore, demonology, and Christian theology, with early Church Fathers such as St. Augustine of Hippo acknowledging the existence of such beings in his writings. As believers, it is crucial to recognize the dangers of these spirits and understand how to combat their influence through the power of Jesus Christ.
What Are Incubus and Succubus Spirits? The incubus (male demon) and succubus (female demon) are entities that seduce, oppress, and torment individuals, often appearing in dreams or during moments of vulnerability. Their goal is to drain spiritual strength, create demonic covenants, and lead people into sin. These encounters may manifest in the form of disturbing dreams, unnatural sexual urges, spiritual oppression, or even physical sensations. Biblical and Historical Accounts While the Bible does not explicitly mention "incubus" or "succubus" by name, it warns against demonic interactions, unclean spirits, and sexual perversions caused by the enemy. In Genesis 6:1-4, there is mention of the Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and human women, which some scholars believe relates to similar demonic encounters. The early Church also recorded reports of such spirits. St. Augustine, in The City of God (Book 15, Chapter 23), recounts widespread testimonies of "incubi" spirits preying upon women: "There is, too, a very general rumor, which many have verified by their own experience... that sylvans and fauns, who are commonly called 'incubi,' had often made wicked assaults upon women, and satisfied their lust upon them." Augustine, though cautious, acknowledged that these demonic encounters were too widespread to dismiss outright. His writings serve as historical documentation of spiritual attacks similar to what deliverance ministers witness today. Signs of Incubus and Succubus Attacks These spirits often operate in secrecy, attempting to deceive their victims into believing these experiences are natural. Common signs of their influence include:
How to Overcome These Spirits If you or someone you know is struggling with demonic oppression from incubus or succubus, the solution is deliverance through Jesus Christ. Here are biblical steps to break free: 1. Repent and Renounce All Sexual Sin Unrepented sin, including fornication, adultery, pornography, and sexual perversions, can create an open door for these spirits. 1 Corinthians 6:18 says, "Flee from sexual immorality..." Confess your sins and break all past ungodly soul ties. 2. Break Any Demonic Covenants These spirits may attach themselves through generational curses, past occult involvement, or even witchcraft and ancestral ties. Renounce all past agreements, spoken words, or invitations that may have given them access. 3. Engage in Deliverance Prayers and Fasting Deliverance is necessary to expel these spirits. Pray in the name of Jesus Christ, commanding any spirit of incubus, succubus, or unclean sexual demon to leave. Matthew 17:21 teaches that some spirits "do not go out except by prayer and fasting." 4. Anoint Your Home and Body Spiritual warfare includes cleansing your environment. Anoint your home with blessed oil, play worship music, and keep an atmosphere filled with God’s presence. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that "our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world." 5. Stay Rooted in Holiness and Purity Walking in obedience to Christ ensures that these spirits do not return. James 4:7 says, "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." Living a life of holiness through prayer, fasting, and studying God's Word builds spiritual protection. Final Thoughts Incubus and succubus spirits are real, and their goal is to defile, oppress, and destroy the spiritual lives of believers. However, through the power of Jesus Christ, deliverance is possible. If you are experiencing spiritual attacks, seek help through prayer, deliverance ministry, and spiritual counseling. The blood of Jesus breaks every demonic stronghold! If you need deliverance or spiritual guidance, visit www.deliverancexorcisms.com to schedule a session. Freedom is yours in Christ! |
