Doorways 

A doorway is an evil or wicked deed, action, event, or behavior that gives the demons access to your temple.  True deliverance cannot happen until you deal with the open doorways and existing strongholds that exist in your life.  Deliverance always follows the pulling down of strongholds and the closing of doorways.  Deliverance never precedes, it always follows.  Doorways always spawn strongholds if they are allowed to remain open. 

Lets look at the doorways that give access to demonic strongholds: 

1.                  Personal Sin

Personal Sin is the most prominent source of demonization and demonic influence in the daily lives of the majority of humanity.  These are sins that you commit on a daily basis.  Personal sins that can lead to demonization are fear, resentment, hatred, bitterness, feeling rejected, unforgiveness, unresolved sorrow, and a variety of other feelings that are not allowed to run their course and be dealt with properly.  

When a person experiences difficulty in life and chooses to hold on to emotional, thoughts, and feelings instead of allowing them to be handled in a manner which agrees with God's Word then the door is opened to a demonic spirit to come in and reside there in that feeling and thus turning the doorway into a stronghold.  Other inner personal sins beyond what was mentioned above include Pride, Envy, Jealousy, Rebellion, as found in Galatians 5:19-21a.

Beyond unresolved feelings, thoughts, and emotions which are contrary to God's Word there are also Person to Person sins which open the doorway to Demonization and Influence.  They are sins such as lying, rumor spreading, stealing, battery, violence, rape, murder, vandalism, rioting, drunkenness, adultery, sexual immorality, drug use, homosexuality, bestiality, dissention, flattery/manipulation, and etc.  

2.                  Family sin

This is the second most common method that Satan uses to demonize the human race.  God's Word states in Number 14 that the sins of the Father will follow his children up to 4 generations.  This is the equivalent of some 100 to 170 years of demonic access for sins committed by one father.  If the parents continue in sinful lifestyles or beliefs then they are potentially opening the doorway of demonization up to four generations of their future family.  An act or sin unrepented can impact four generations or more if the sin continues within those four generations again.  

3.                  Occult, NEW AGE, CURSES, AND WITCHCRAFT

If you want a 100% guaranteed way of allowing demons to enter then the involvement in the occult is a guaranteed way of making this happen.  Believe me there is nothing innocent in having any occult knowledge.  From Tarot Cards to reading daily horoscopes, to seeking psychic revelations, to pagan rituals, worshipping saints or dead people to satanic and cult music; playing Dungeons & Dragons; reading Harry Potter books; some Disney movies with occult themes; drug use, soul or astral travel, eastern philosophies or practices, mantras or chants as you see in some Christian religions, and a host of other things.  These are just a few examples.

4.                  False Religions

A False Religion is defined as any religion, cult, or group which teaches teachings and principals contrary to the Word of God, the Deity and Supremacy of Jesus Christ over all Creation, the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the sinfulness of man, man's dependency on the Cross and Resurrection for Salvation, and the Trinity being composed of the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit as the Godhead.  Involvement in False Religions will open the door for demonization and influence.  There are religious demons that specialize in binding individuals with deceptive teachings concerning salvation, redemption, God, Jesus Christ, and other issues concerning eternity.  

5.                  ABUSE, INCEST, & RAPE 

The most flagrant method that Satan uses to gain access to individuals is through physical abuse, ritualistic abuse, and sexual abuse.  The person who is being physical abused if forced by the abuser to feel emotions and pain.  The pain and emotions that are felt by the person will open the person up to demonic influence and co-habitation.  This is because the emotions and pain are never allowed to be dwelt with in a proper manner whereas they may heal.  The abuse continues and the demonic spirits which use the pain and emotions of the abuse to entrench themselves.  Demons of this nature are usually connected with rejection, fear, helplessness, despair, sorrow, pain, bitterness, hatred, and other negative emotions.  

6.                  Laying on of Hands 

We are told in 1 Timothy 5:22  Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others.  Keep yourself pure.

Demons can be transferred by the laying on of hands.  In the occult, pagan religions and Satanism this is one of a few primary ways in which demons are transferred.  Laying hands on someone involves the submission of one person to the authority of another.  This submission allows demons to pass both ways.  Timothy understood this and warned the church not to risk laying hands on someone who had not proved him/herself in the church.  

7.                  False Teaching

False teaching, doctrine, and theology can open one up to demons of deception and confusion.  God has instructed us to study and show ourselves approved; to weigh all doctrine, theology, and teachings against the standard of God's Word.  I wonder how many Christians have been placed under the demonic bondage of deception and false belief because of their lack of discernment.  Do not submit yourself to another in spiritual matters unless you know the person and see his/her fruits.
