The premise is that occupying and walking in these places can be the source of a variety of afflictions among the uninitiated and unwary. Upon such people being discerned by those claiming to be gifted experts as being contaminated in this way, they are then exhorted to avail themselves of those considered to be deliverance experts, often one and the same, who will set them free and bring about their healing if the afflictions are physical. Apparently in my country one of the main examples of so-called "unholy ground" is wherever the early Maori inhabitants engaged in bloody conflict, both among themselves and with the early settlers. I have searched the Scriptures on this and have an opinion on the aforementioned teaching and practices in play, but I would like others to put forward their opinions before I post more on the matter.

There was a corner of a C of E church in Bishop's Castle in Shropshire where some said they felt 'really bad'. I have been close to places that definitely felt weird and I know that some folk in the US walk around and 'claim' places supposedly in opposition to evil powers. In reading about principalities and powers and knowing that Yeshua the Messiah put all things under His feet (and therefore ours), I am unsure of the ability to actually do this since God appointed the heavenly host and gave them distinct territorial powers. This can be seen in Daniel and Psalm 82 and Deut. 32 talks about this. I would be exceedingly cautious of this practice since we are supposed to be Light and Life to a lost world and witness to the Saving Grace of the Lord. In time, God says these disobedient powers, 'will die like men' and loose their immortality. Wigglesworth was very hesitant about this, so I am too. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After saying that, ...I built a house for a man that had a mana (power) stone on his property, he told stories of tourists that came to visit Tahiti and drove by and felt the power emanating from it and came back to his property and asked him if they could look around, they always went right to the stone, even though it was hid behind some bushes and layed hands on it to absorb it's power. Also, ...when I visited a marae, the place where the ancient Tahitians worshiped their gods (demons) one time(!), ...I could literally feel the darkness and oppression. However..., Greater is He that is in me than he that is in them, ...and that includes the power source they go to for their power! Never had any problems while I was there for four months building his house, also, ...I have had a witch come on to my property and try to curse me two times, the first time, after I realized what she was doing, I just said, "Jesus!" ...not in fear or like when I used His name in vain before I became His, but rather in authority like, "are you kidding me," and she fled as fast as she could, the second time she came back at night while we were sleeping, she woke up my wife and she woke me up and I said, "Jesus?" in like, "...again Lord?" ...and the witch fled again, ...the third time it was a warlock and I didn't know he had tried to curse me until a friend told me about it a couple of days later. Me/we/us born again child of the Most High God, ...God Almighty, ...have the Holy Spirit living and active inside of us, the Active Power of all of God's Creation, ...so what is a stone, unholy ground, a witch or warlock, ...to Him? What would I recommend to teach: You are of God, little children, and you have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 My Father is God, ...my big brother is God, ...my best friend is God, ...I'm Their child, ...what do we have to be afraid of or worry about?

I dont think of it as the ground being evil but just an area where darkness is rampant. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just don't know enough. There may well be some locations where demonic power is concentrated - either because people living there are particularly involved with the things of Satan, or because of what has happened there in the past. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN HIM the dominion Adam gave away is restored. This whole earth is destined to be restored to His rule and IS part of our inheritance in Him. Just exactly what we do about that, when and where, better be according to the battle plan of the Commander of Hosts. It's not safe to look at what He did in one battle and assume anything about how He intends to fight the next....remember Ai. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Michael37 Hi Michael I believe that there is not such a thing for Christians to stand on unholy ground but non-Christians are standing on unholy ground, the devil is defeated and we're standing on Holy Ground Everything which is not of God is from the enemy,so "yes" I believe there are places where demons feel comfortable .. We're standing on Holy ground For the Lord is present And where He is is Holy This is Holy ground We're standing on Holy ground For the Lord is present And where He is is Holy These are Holy hands He's given us Holy hands He works through these hands And so these hands are Holy These are Holy hands He's given us Holy hands He works through these hands And so these hands are Holy These are Holy lips He's given us Holy lips He speaks through these lips And so these lips are Holy These are Holy lips He's given us Holy lips He speaks through these lips And so these lips are Holy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
