Spiritual House Cleaning: Protect Your Home and Family from Spiritual Pollution [Paperback]

Alice Smith (Author), Eddie Smith (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2003

Demonic forces often invade our homes openly and brazenly. Other times, they may have resided with us for years-we just didn't notice them. But their means of arrival matters less than the threat they pose to our homes and those we love. Possessions, attitudes and behaviors can all forge a stronghold for Satan to take over your home! For example, a dust-covered novel based on a horrifying account could be the seed of spiritual death for an innocent reader. In six short chapters, this book provides the examples, explanations, causes and cures you need to purify your home and keep your own spiritual life intact and growing. If you really want to be delivered from evil, put Spiritual House Cleaning to work!

This revised and updated edition of Eddie and Alice Smith’s bestseller will equip you to identify and free yourself and your family fromthings that defile the spiritual atmosphere of your home, your business and place of worship. Many families, even Christian families, suffer needlessly from unseen evil infestations. This doesn’t just happen.

• Spiritual church cleaning! Youmust read this chapter!

• God’s seven-step biblical process of purification
In addition, in this enlarged edition, Eddie and Alice offer amazing real-life victory stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritual House Cleaning, July 17, 2003

By 

Carol Pauwels (Missouri City, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spiritual House Cleaning: Protect Your Home and Family from Spiritual Pollution (Paperback)

This topic can cause fear to rise in the reader's heart but the truth that is revealed brings a simple, Biblical step by step of insight and pratical freedom any person can obtain by being well informed. Most people are struggling with problems in their home and with people, this book brings to the surface the hidden causes. An innocent purchase, souvenirs, family heirlooms, a cultural practice, etc. have a history.

Eddie and Alice Smith have taken time and invested years of study and have practical knowledge which substantiate their recommendations and pratical steps to rid a home of personal conflict and bring back family harmony. I recommend this book for anyone needing understanding to any unanswered questions concerning their home and unexplained situations, illnesses, and continual unrest.

Each chapter builds on the next and allows the reader to have a sense of empowerment through understanding and functional steps to follow and then prayers to complete the house cleaning. The Smith's have put biblical rights back into the hands of the Christians thus making God every more real. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritual House Cleaning: Protect Your Home and Family from, July 6, 2004

By 

A. Diaz (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spiritual House Cleaning: Protect Your Home and Family from Spiritual Pollution (Paperback)

I have already started cleaning house! Its amazing how we hold on to unnecessary ill gotten treasure, and what do I mean by "ill gotten"? Stuff like gifts handed to me from previous bad relationships, i.e. clothes, jewelry, heavy metal and rock CDs, and junk one acquires over the years. I have asked God to show me what is preventing me from having a closer relationship with Him, and he has brought to mind many things that I normally I would not have thought had a spiritual significance. In some cases I struggled throwing stuff away, but the Holy Spirit quickly reminded me "obedience" is more pleasing to God than "sacrifice." By acting on obedience I have now learned to pay attention to the voice in our hearts like Isaiah the prophet.
When he says in Isaiah 30:21-22: "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, you will hear a voice saying, 'This is the road! Now follow it.' Then you will treat your idols of silver and gold like garbage; you will throw them away like filthy rags."

Wow! I am recommending this book to others in my church. This book is really good for those desiring to move on to spiritual maturity.

Thanks Alice and Eddie!
