The document provides a list of 12 demonic strongholds or "houses" that Satan uses to torment mankind, which correspond to 12 manifestations in a person's personality. It then lists specific spirits, biblical references for each, and common manifestations that may indicate their presence. The goal is to help people recognize strongholds, seek deliverance, and set others free, as Jesus intends.

A search of the scriptures reveals twelve demonic strongholds or "houses" that the enemy
sends against mankind in an attempt to torment both them and the Father who loves them.
The number "12" in scripture is often associated with governmental order. It is not
surprising that Satan would have 12 spiritual agents that he would send against mankind
in an attempt to rule and dominate man. It is a clear counterfeit of God's beneficent
loving order and authority intended for mankind.
In the context of ministering to others, we've noticed that these 12 particular classes of
evil spirits seem to manifest themselves in a person's personality in very common and
understandable ways. What follows is a listing of common manifestations associated with
each spirit. In addition, we have compiled an exhaustive list of spirits often encountered
when ministering deliverance and corresponding manifestations in one's personality,
which often mark the presence of each spirit, listed.
These lists serve as a tool for recognizing strongholds in your own life so that you can
seek deliverance for yourself. Jesus wants to set you free. Since he has paid the price,
why not choose to appropriate it in one's own life? The goal of deliverance is to set you
free so that Jesus can use you to set others free. Captives free to set other captives free.
Deliverance, and salvation, for that matter, is always a means to the end of spreading
God's kingdom. It was never intended to be self-focused. We are set free to set others free
in the name of Jesus and by the power of God's Holy Spirit. Hopefully, this list will help
those who minister to recognize a spirit by its common manifestations.
Obviously, this is in not an attempt to create a formula to explain away the work of or the
need for the Holy Spirit in all ministries. It should also be mentioned here that there
appear in Jewish writings some specific "names" of other demons, as well. We have used
this list to help people to search their own hearts in preparation for deliverance ministry
and as a tool for ministering deliverance to those in need.
