DAY 1: The Spirit of Rebellion & Disobedience

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft…” — 1 Samuel 15:23

Let’s stop calling what’s demonic just “difficult.”Rebellion is not your child being strong-willed. It's not independence. It’s not “they’re just like their daddy.”It’s a spirit. A counterfeit authority that’s trying to overthrow yours.

And it’s bold. It will lie straight to your face.It will talk over you. It will challenge your instructions. It will twist the truth to protect pride.And if you don’t deal with it in the spirit, you’ll start disciplining flesh while the real enemy keeps building altars in your house.

Rebellion is witchcraft. That’s not opinion that’s Bible. It manipulates. It resists. It mocks. It partners with pride and says, “I don’t need to listen.”And if we’re not careful, we’ll let it stay because we’re too tired to fight.

But today, we tear down every high place.

Kingdom parents.. your home is not a playground for demons. It's a sanctuary for the Spirit of God.Your voice carries authority. Your discipline is holy. You don’t negotiate with rebellion. You cast it out and loose obedience in its place.

This isn’t about raising “good kids” it’s about raising submitted ones. Kids who know the voice of God because they learned to honor the voice of their parents. Kids who don’t just follow rules, but walk in reverence.

You don’t need to yell louder. You need to stand firmer. You are the gatekeeper. Set the tone. Shut the door.

WARFARE PRAYER:

Father, I come before You as the authority You’ve placed in this home.I repent for every time I excused rebellion instead of rebuking it.I repent for letting tiredness, fear, or culture silence my voice.Today, I take my place. I shut every door of rebellion, defiance, and dishonor in the name of Jesus.

I break every generational curse of pride and resistance.I cancel every word curse that told my child “they’re just bad” or “they’ll never change.”I bind the spirit of rebellion, witchcraft, manipulation, pride, and stubbornness. You have no place here. I evict you now by the blood of Jesus.

And I loose the spirit of obedience, humility, and honor.My child will walk in submission not to control, but to Your divine order.Their heart will be tender. Their ears will be open. Their spirit will be teachable.Let Your peace and authority fill this house again.

In Jesus’ mighty name, amen.
