After a time, a change of attitude is often detected and an opening is provided in which we will be able to speak to the person in a loving and gentle way concerning the sin. We have encouraged many parents with rebellious children to undertake a campaign of intercessory repentance for them. They begin confessing daily the sins that manifested in the home and then take authority over any spirit that was working on their children in their home. Often a spirit can be identified by the sin that is constantly manifesting. Remember, if the parents are Christians and their home is dedicated to God, they have great authority before God to nurture their children in this spiritual way and resist an enemy that is trying to gain power in their lives.
Children are often extremely vulnerable.
They usually act based upon how they feel. It is relatively easy for a spirit to influence a child to feel miserable so they will act miserably. They are often exploited in order to bring divisiveness and chaos into the family. Using these spiritual countermeasures will often bring surprising results. To be a burden bearer requires an ability to empathize with a person, to put yourself in their place.
