Many people pray, fast, and even attend church faithfully, yet they still find themselves fighting the same battles their parents and grandparents fought. This is often the work of powers from the father’s house—ancestral forces that transfer patterns of failure, poverty, delay, and affliction from generation to generation.
The Bible warns us: “Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities” (Lamentations 5:7). Until these powers are confronted with the blood of Jesus and fire prayers, they continue to resist destinies.

🚩 10 Signs You Are Still Bound by Father’s House Powers
1. Reoccurring Family Patterns
Marriages breaking at the same age, men or women dying young, or everyone struggling financially despite hard work.
👉 To learn how to escape these patterns, see Breaking Evil Altars of the Father’s House.
2. Stagnation Despite Effort
You work hard but have nothing to show. Breakthroughs come close but never manifest. This is the “near-success syndrome.”
3. Strange Dreams of Family Compounds
If you often see yourself back in your father’s house, old family compound, or eating with dead relatives in dreams—it means ancestral altars are still monitoring you.

4. Marital Delays and Crises
Repeated delays in marriage, divorce cycles, or inability to sustain peace in marriage often point to foundational covenants.
5. Persistent Poverty
No matter how much money comes in, it vanishes. Poverty runs through the family line, swallowing labor and resources.
6. Unexplainable Sicknesses
Some sicknesses are inherited—diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure. Others are spiritual—constant miscarriages, barrenness, or strange afflictions.
7. Rise and Fall Syndrome
One moment you’re lifted, the next you’re back to square one. This “up today, down tomorrow” pattern is a sign of father’s house strongmen at work.
8. Resistance to Prayer and Fasting
Whenever you try to pray, you feel heavy, sleepy, or distracted. Whenever you fast, strange attacks follow. This shows the powers of your foundation don’t want you free.

9. Repeated Failures in One Area
If one area of your life—marriage, career, business, ministry—keeps collapsing no matter what you do, it is a sign of ancestral resistance.
10. Unnatural Hatred and Rejection
Doors close unexpectedly. Helpers suddenly withdraw. People dislike you for no reason. These are powers from the foundation diverting favor away from you.
