A Deeper Teaching from Demons Are Not the Boss of You – Part 3 | The Pool Ministries
Most believers understand that demonic attacks can happen through temptation, trauma, or emotional and spiritual warfare. But few realize that demons can enter through objects, media, and spiritual portals—not because God allows it, but because we unknowingly do.
In Part 3 of Demons Are Not the Boss of You, Susan Bowman shares a sobering truth:
Angels will not remove what we personally bring into our homes.
If we carry it over the boundary, it is interpreted as permission.
Understanding this spiritual law is critical for protecting our households and walking unmolested in our homes, workplaces, and places of rest.
Demons Exploit What Enters Through Our Hands
We often pray, “God, protect my home,” yet consistently bring in spiritually contaminated items—books, décor, music, antiques, media, sentimental heirlooms—without prayer or discernment.
Demons are opportunists. If you carry it in, they consider that an invitation.
Susan shares a powerful example: a used copy of C.S. Lewis’s A Grief Observed. A safe, respected Christian book—yet it carried intense grief and defilement from its previous owner. It entered unnoticed, and only after prayer and cleansing was the spiritual heaviness removed.
This is not superstition. It is warfare.
Three Hidden Portals Demons Use to Enter Homes
| Portal | How Access Is Granted |
| Objects & Media | Books, antiques, jewelry, heirlooms, music, movies |
| Digital Gateways | Phones, computers, streaming platforms |
| Human Entry | Visitors carrying attachments or oppression |
Objects & Media: When Items Carry More Than Dust
Biblically, we see demons attached to objects (Acts 19:19 – occult scrolls; Joshua 7 – accursed items). Today, it still happens.
**Not every item is evil—but every item must be claimed. **
If emotions or thoughts suddenly flood your mind when handling a book, watching a movie, touching a keepsake—discernment may be warning you: These feelings and thoughts not yours.
Home Cleansing Prayer for Objects & Media
“Angels, remove every foreign emotion, defilement, and evil being attached to any object or media in this home—even those I brought in unknowingly.
Cleanse books, movies, music, décor, and all that entered through my hands.
Nothing defiling is allowed to remain. Take it where the Holy Spirit directs, in Jesus’ name.”
Portals: Devices, Screens & Digital Entry Points
Televisions, phones, computers, gaming systems—these are ungoverned gateways if unguarded.
We diligently lock our doors yet leave spiritual windows wide open through online content, news, and entertainment.
You do not have to watch evil for evil to enter.
Agreement is not required—exposure is enough.
Digital Boundary Prayer
“Angels, set guards on every portal in this home—TVs, phones, computers, and all screens.
Nothing evil may travel through them.
I close every doorway the enemy has used and forbid all defilement, in Jesus’ name.”
When People Carry Attachments In
Demons often travel with people—not because those people are evil, but because they carry unseen torment, trauma, or oppression.
Our angels will not turn demons aside unless instructed.
Before opening your door, open your authority.
“To any spirit attached to those entering my home:
You are not permitted inside.
Only their true humanity may enter.
Angels, keep these spirits out and stand guard, in Jesus’ name.”
Spiritual Housekeeping Is Not Paranoia—It’s Dominion
Just as you sweep floors and wipe counters, your home requires spiritual upkeep.
- You are not being dramatic—you are being responsible.
- You are not condemning people—you are protecting peace.
- You are not fearing demons—you are exercising dominion.
“We do not sit passively and hope for protection.
We declare it and enforce it.”
—Susan Bowman
Final Reminder: Your Home Belongs to the Lord
What crosses your threshold must answer to your authority.
Your angels are waiting on your command.
If you have unknowingly brought in defilement—clean house.
Speak it. Seal it. Reclaim it.
