Most people today consider dolls to be
collectibles or children's toys. But Kimberly Daniels thinks twice about
having one in the house.
Daniels, in her book, writes on how evil spirits operate under covers
that make up our everyday lives.
From fashion to furniture, from trends
to traditions, and from rituals to dolls, Daniels shows how the
familiar areas of our lives can harbor demonic influences. One of these
areas is fetishes.
"Most idolatry is rooted
in fetishism," Daniels writes. "Simply put, a fetish is an object with a
spirit attached to it. If we're not vigilant, we can open doors to
familiar spirits in our lives and homes simply by the items we possess
and the practices we keep."
In writing on
fetishism and idolatry, Daniels goes back in history to when dolls had
spiritual value attached to them.
In religions and occult practices,
dolls were used as supernatural intermediaries to confer favor,
represent gods and enact witchcraft.
Daniels warns readers to avoid things with
occult origins, as they give the enemy access points into our homes. The
subtle yet familiar influences can be especially damaging because they
can go undetected in your life for years.
Breaking the Power of Familiar Spirits
shows why the church must no longer view the world with only natural
eyes. Christians must see what hides within the spiritual realm.

*The last paragraph is so true. These days we hear a lot about demonic possession or influence. Many people have exposed themselves to demon possession through items. This is the reality of our world today. There's no better place to be than in Jesus.
