Close Doorways – Prevent Spiritual Attack
In my work as an energy healer, one of the most frequent questions I receive is how to protect homes and lives from spiritual attack. Many people don’t realize that violations of the Ten Commandments can open doorways for the enemy. While the major commandments may seem obvious, there are also subtle actions that violate these commandments and leave us vulnerable to the actions of “the accuser.”
Understanding the Ten Commandments Beyond the Surface
The Ten Commandments are often seen as broad, overarching rules. However, they encompass a wide range of behaviors, thoughts, and attitudes. Recognizing these subtleties is crucial for maintaining spiritual protection.
For example:
- Murder: This commandment isn’t just about physically taking someone’s life. Hating someone, harboring anger, or wishing ill upon others can also fall under this category. Jesus himself expanded on this in Matthew 5:21-22, teaching that even anger towards others can be akin to murder in the eyes of God.
- Adultery: Adultery extends beyond physical acts of infidelity. It includes premarital sex, lustful thoughts, engaging with or consuming pornography, and even indulging in dirty jokes or indecent media. In Matthew 5:27-28, Jesus explains that anyone who looks at someone lustfully has already committed adultery in their heart.
The Subtle Openings for Spiritual Attack
It’s these less obvious infractions that can create openings for spiritual attack. The enemy often exploits these small cracks in our spiritual armor. We can identify and close these doorways by remaining vigilant and examining our conscience.
I’ve found an incredibly detailed resource that can help in this process. It’s a PDF designed for Catholics to examine their conscience before confession. While some parts may not apply to non-Catholics, the comprehensive list helps illuminate the more subtle aspects of thoughts and actions that can create spiritual vulnerabilities.

This guide covers a wide array of behaviors and thoughts that we might not initially consider as violations but are crucial in maintaining spiritual health and protection. Regularly reviewing this list and reflecting on our actions can identify areas where we may have inadvertently allowed the enemy a foothold.
Practical Steps for Protection
- Daily Reflection and Confession: Set aside time each day to reflect on your actions and thoughts. Confess any sins and ask for forgiveness.
- Guard Your Mind: Be mindful of what you consume—whether it’s media, conversations, or thoughts. Avoid content that leads you away from purity and righteousness.
- Prayer and Scripture: Regularly engage in prayer and read scripture. This not only strengthens your faith but also helps keep your mind focused on God’s will.
- Community and Accountability: Surround yourself with a supportive community that encourages you in your spiritual journey. Accountability partners can help you stay on track.
The Role of Energy Clearing
While I offer sessions that can temporarily clear non-beneficial energies that are creating openings for spiritual attack (for you or your home), it is up to each individual to determine what may be opening doorways and take action to close them. If, for instance, someone is actively participating in an activity that creates an open door, the opportunity for spiritual attack will continue and no amount of “clearing” will make any real difference.
By being proactive and vigilant, we can close these spiritual doorways and protect ourselves from the enemy’s attacks. Embracing a life of obedience and constant self-examination not only strengthens our spiritual armor but also brings us closer to the peace and protection that God promises.
This post is intended to provide a deeper understanding of how subtle actions and thoughts can open doorways to spiritual attack and offers practical steps to close them. The linked PDF is an excellent resource for examining your conscience in detail. Remember, vigilance and obedience are key to maintaining spiritual protection.
