For many Christians knowing that certain things bring demonic influences into their home is not something new, however it is often taken from one extreme to another. Is everything demonized? How can you tell the difference. Just where is the balance?
In this outstanding book author, Chuck Pierce will break down what to look for, how to discern what you find, and what to do about it. Not every old piece of jewelry is evil, not every ceramic cat is demonic, but it can be. The enemy has a way of hiding in the most unsuspecting places, happy for the chance to bring misery into your life and the lives of your loved ones.
You will also learn how to cleanse your land of the curses that have been placed on it, and believe me all land has some problems that need correcting. Think that strange? Not so. Just what has happened on the land your house is sitting on, say going back one-hundred years? Or what about that weird feeling you get in a certain room in your house? I think you get the picture, now you need to know what to do about it. This book will give you a heads-up.
I also liked the personal experiences that were shared, and stories of others who have encountered problems with objects, buildings, and land having unwelcomed inhabitants tagging along for the ride. Very interesting, and enlightening.
This is a great book that will help you to understand what you are dealing with and what to do about it in a very practical way. You are also given some very useful prayers at the end of the book, and some recommended reading for more help. I highly recommend this book for every serious Christian. Great read.

I am a strong proponent of protecting the family both physically and spiritually. As a husband, father, and man, I consider defending my family to be one of my most important duties. Because of this, when I first found Protecting Your Home From Spiritual Darkness by Chuck D. Pierce and Rebecca Wagner Sytsema, I was immediately interested in its subject matter. At only 112 pages in length, it is a rather accessable book and is made up of eight chapters and two detailed appendices.
Its subtitle reads, “10 Steps to Help You Clean House, Place Jesus in Authority and Make Your Home a Safe Place.” This is a very good description for what the book contains. As it opens, the authors immediately mention removing things from homes. In the text’s first account we read of Cathy who suffered from depression constantly (pg. 9). On the next page it reads, “…I knew that something in her house was not right. I knew that some thing was connected to the dark shadow that hung over her emotions. I began walking through the house praying, ‘Lord, show me anything in this home that is representing Cathy’s depression’ ” (pg. 10). They later find a copy of the handbook for thirty-second degree Masons. At the instruction of one of the authors, a fire is built and the book is burned. Doing so broke a Masonic curse in her bloodline and freed her of crushing depression that was the result of the demonic forces attached to the book (pg. 10).
This turn of events was exciting to read, and illustrative of what the book contains. It is filled with people who endure suffering, and the objects or events that are connected to their predicaments. Some of these accounts are related to the authors themselves, while others are not. For example, at the beginning of chapter 3, one of the authors confesses to previously having a covetous, greedy spirit. This was in relation to demonic forces inhabiting a jewelry box (pg. 25). In another instance, some friends ask for prayer concerning a building that was plagued by continual problems. After many months they found a cement gargoyle in the corner of the attic. It was subsequently destroyed (pg. 45). Although I am sharing two examples here, many more could be provided. It’s fitting that the book’s cover mentions cleaning house. The authors encourage it often. So much so that it sometimes feels like it is the work’s main focus.
While they didn’t convince me that spirits inhabit objects, I do appreciate being mindful of the types of items that I have around me. The authors do an impressive job of highlighting the influences of objects in the home and elsewhere. In chapter 3 they write about problems with objects, and warn against a wide assortment of them. Some of these include buddhas, instruction books on Yoga, lucky charms, secret society objects and more. The book’s list for such things is quite extensive. It makes up about 3 pages of the text (pgs. 33-35). The book features a number of such lists. As one goes through the book, Mr. Pierce and Ms. Sytsema explore multiple subjects, such as cooperating with the Holy Spirit, symptoms of a spiritually polluted atmosphere, and how to review a child’s boundaries (pgs. 15-17, 23-24, 77). All of these are presented in some sort of list format.
Through it all, I found the text flowing very well and easy to follow. It is possible to take such attributes for granted, but I really think that these are two of the book’s strongest qualities. Most chapters, sections, and lists contained helpful information. Many of the things taught can be acted upon even if one does not agree with every point made by the authors. The book’s whole design contributes to repeated reading. It can be readily used as a resource with ease which is appreciated.
Even though I have a lot of good things to say about Protecting Your Home From Spiritual Darkness, I was regularly disappointed by its inclusion of many unscriptural terms. These hinder me from recommending the book more highly. Early in the book the authors convey their desire that we live in freedom and liberty as Christians (pg. 13). This is good, but they also speak of legal rights over places and applying the blood of Christ in various situations (pgs. 22, 55). The sheer amount of times these latter ideas were brought up was distracting to me. To my knowledge, the apostles did not speak of legal rights over places very much. Nor am I aware of any scripture that actually teach Christians to plead the blood of Christ over a place or thing.
Near the end of the book they also encourage readers to secure their relationship to God by “accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior” (pg. 85). Like some of the book’s other phrases, this isn’t found in the Bible either. Because of these things, I cannot fully recommend this work. Like I have conveyed earlier, it does make some good points and contains helpful advice. It is clear that Chuck Pierce and Rebecca Sytsema put a lot of work into Protecting Your Home From Spiritual Darkness. However, its overuse of terms and strategies that are foreign to the Bible force me to give it only a cautious recommendation.

Good one! Helps in becoming more aware of possible hindrances. Nonetheless, one should be careful to not put much focus on looking and diagnosing what is wrong or what could be evil and RATHER believe in the power of good and what God is currently doing in our lives despite "hindrances".

I didn’t think I would be into this book. It contains more info than one might think (just being over 100 pages of content). Good scripture explaining and and there was a lot of “head scratching ideas” that got me asking myself DO some OF MY POSSESSIONS own me...
