(page 113 in Deliverance Manual) "THE JUKES" - "A Study of the Relation of Crime, Pauperism, Disease, and Heredity in the 1900's" by R.L. Ragsdale, G.P. Putnam and Sons, New York and London. Father, Max, was a hunter, fisher, hard drinker, jolly and compassionate, adverse to steady work, and became blind (probably due to syphilis). Origin was middle class Dutch. Of those 1200 descendants there were 280 paupers, 140 criminals, 250 arrests and trials, 140 years of imprisonment, 60 habitual thieves, 7 murderers, 50 common prostitutes, 40 syphilitic women, 400 men contracted syphilis, 40 wives contaminated, 440 total contaminated by syphilis, 300 children died prematurely, and 50 illegitimate births. In 75 years the family of 1200 members cost the state $1,308,000.00 in costs in the early 1900's.

EXO 20:2 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 3 You shall have no other gods before me. 4 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. LAM 5:7 Our fathers sinned and are no more, But WE BEAR THEIR INIQUITIES. 8 Servants rule over us; There is none to deliver us from their hand. PRO 3:33 THE LORDS CURSE IS ON THE HOUSE OF THE WICKED, but he blesses the home of the righteous. PRO 26:2 Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, So a CURSE without cause shall not alight. PSA 51:5 Behold, I WAS BROUGHT FORTH IN INIQUITY, And in sin my mother conceived me.

From OUTSIDE the body 2. From WITHIN the body

If they operate from OUTSIDE, we must RESIST them (see JAM 4:7; 1PE 5:8-9) If they operate from WITHIN, they must be EXPELLED (see MAT 8:16; MAR 1:39) 9. Sources of Demonization of individuals (Doorways) Sins of ancestors: EXO 20:3 You shall have no other gods before Me. 4 You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, Effects in the Womb Childhood physical or emotional trauma: MOST demonic problems begin here !!

ISA 61:3 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. JOE 2:32 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls. PSA 34:4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. 2CO 7:5 For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears. 2TI 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 11. 3 origins of demons Greek Mythology = two categories of the gods
