Breaking Free From The Soul Ties of Freemasonry

Ed Decker
When dealing with Freemasonry, there are some basic things you
need to know. It doesnt matter if it is you who is involved or it is
or a loved one; whether you are a descendant of someone in the
craft or trying to keep someone from joining the lodge. You need to
know about the soul ties, the generational curses that are part of
this dark fraternity.
Before we get deeper in what to do, here are direct quotes about
their full authority and power over its members.

"We may not call in question the propriety of this organization; if

we would be Masons we must yield private judgment. To the law
and to the testimonyif any man walk not by this rule it is because
there is no light in him."Piersons Traditions of Freemasonry, p.
30.
"That this surrender of free-will to Masonic authority is absolute
(within the scope of the landmarks of the order) and perpetual,
may be inferred from an examination of the emblem (the shoe or
sandal) which is used to enforce this lesson of resignation. The
esotery of the Masonic rituals gives the fullest assurance of this:
"once a Mason always a Mason" is an aphorism in our literature

conveying an undeniable truth."Morris Dictionary of

Freemasonry, p. 29.
"A Mason should know how to obey those who are set over him,
however inferior they may be in worldly rank; or condition."
Macoys Masonic Monitor, p. 14.
"Disobedience and want of respect to Masonic superiors is an
offense for which the transgressor subjects himself to
punishment."Mackeys Masonic Jurisprudence, p. 511.
"Under the head of Discipline is given a catalogue of fifteen prime
classes of un-Masonic acts, of which this is one. It is so subversive
of the groundwork of Masonry, in which obedience is most strongly
inculcated, that the Mason who disobeys subjects himself to severe
penalties." Morris Dictionary, pp. 91,92
"As a presiding officer the Master is possessed or extraordinary
powers which belong to the presiding officer of no other
association" Mackey's Masonic Jurisprudence, p. 344.
"The powers and privileges of the Master of a lodge are by no
means limited in extent."-Chase's Digest of Masonic Law, page
380.
"An affirmation is not equivalent to an oath in Masonry however it
may be in common and is not legitimate in the working of the
2

lodge."-Ibid. p.13.
"The Covenant is irrevocable. Even though a person may be
suspended or expelled; though he may withdraw from the Lodge,
journey into countries where Masons cannot be found, or become a
subject of despotic governments that persecute, or a communicant
of bigoted churches that denounce Masonry, he cannot cast off or
nullify his Masonic covenant; No law of the land can affect it-no
anathema of the church weaken it. It is irrevocable." -Webb's
Freemasons' Monitor, p. 240.
This accounts for many strange and mysterious proceedings in our
would-be courts of justice and in the churches. No law of the land
(that is, civil law,) can even affect this lodge oath or covenant. No
anathema of the church (that is, divine law), can weaken it.
Is it any wonder that criminals go scot-free when the sheriff that
impanels the jury, enough of the jurors impaneled to bring in a
divided verdict, enough witnesses drummed up to make the
evidence appear contradictory, the attorneys of the prosecution
and of the defense, and the judge on the bench, are irrevocably
bound to the prisoner at the bar as sworn brethren, by an
obligation considered paramount to all others, civil or divine?
Is it anything strange that there is trouble in the church when the
members are bound up, by this strong covenant, with saloonkeepers, irreverent scoffers, and other evil-minded men, in sworn
3

brotherhood?
Is there no escape from Masonry is the now all-important question.
The answer is Yes, absolutely Yes! The Word of God tells us that we
can confess our sins (this oath bound bondage is sin) and He is
faithful and has mercy upon us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (KJV,I John 1:9)
What a promise of deliverance.
No blood oath can stand against the Word of God!
Breaking Free From the spiritual chains of Freemasonry
Ed Decker
God's Word says it is not possible to serve two Masters. Anyone who
intends to follow Jesus must renounce Freemasonry. The Bible says, " Be ye
not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with
darkness?"(2Cor. 6:14)
Can Masonic Oaths be broken? Yes, on Higher Authority. God's Word
overrules and overturns man's word "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."(1
John 1:9)
As part of the process of renouncing Freemasonry, it is important to formally

Demit, explaining to your former brethren that you must now have no
fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove
them.Eph. 5:11.
First, Get rid of the Masonic Paraphernalia! All that Masonic stuff in
your closet, rings, hats, aprons, bibles, and booksall of it needs to be
destroyed, tossed in the trash or burned. Every piece is a talisman carrying
dark spirits. Get it out of the house at once.
Freemason Demit Letter
This sample letter is taken from a book called Masonry, Beyond the Light by
William Schnoebelen, Pub. Chick Pub. Bill was a Freemason in the higher
levels of the Lodge, so his knowledge of the cult is extensive. Bill also worked
as an assistant to Ed Decker for 7 years.
Notice of Demiture From the Masonic Lodge
To the Master, Officers, and members
Dear Friends,
It is with regret that I submit my resignation from your Lodge, and from all
Masonic bodies. I have taken this step in spite of the fact that I value very
much the friendships and associations I have developed within Masonry over
the years. However, One whom I love more than all of you has said, "He that
loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth
son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me" Matthew 10:37).
Those who call themselves Christians and believe in the name of Jesus are
called to that kind of radical discipleship. If I am to be true to my Lord, Who
loved me and gave Himself for me, then I must keep His commandments. If I
am called to love Him more than my own family, how much more am I called
5

to love him more than friends and fraternal brothers?

Unfortunately, in spite of the fraternal love I bear you all, I find that in
following Jesus Christ, I must sever my ties with all forms of the Masonic
fraternity. This is no reflection upon you, or upon the many good things that
Masonry does. It is simply the fact that Masonry does not honor Jesus Christ
as the Almighty God who came in the flesh to save us from our sins.
Our Lord said that, "He that is not with me is against me; and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth abroad" Matthew 12:30).
Masonry refuses to confess Jesus as Lord before men, and Jesus has plainly
said that, "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I
confess also before my Father which is in heaven. but whosoever shall deny
me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven"
(Matthew 10:32-33).
Anything that presents itself as a moral or religious institution and yet does
not confess Christ as God is denying Jesus! I'm deeply sorry, brothers, but as a
committed Christian, I cannot be a part of such a thing.
Masonry establishes itself as a complement to one's church, which sounds fine.
Masonry has prayers, rituals and solemn ceremonies in which the authority of
the Bible is invoked. The Lodge is not secular, but religious. But in my study of
the Bible, it seems clear that Masonry asks us, as Masons, to do things
contrary to Biblical teachings.
For example, Jesus commands us to teach all nations" (Matthew 28:19-20)
and to preach the gospel to everyone (Mark 16:15), yet Masonic etiquette
forbids me as a Christian from sharing my Savior with my non-Christian
Lodge brothers. I must stand by politely and watch them go to hell, "for there
is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
6

saved" (Acts 4:12). Who am I to obey, my Lord or my Lodge?

The very Bible that sits on the altar commands these things. It is one of the
"three great lights" of Masonry and yet you ignore its teachings for the sake of
harmony!
Jesus also commands us not to swear oaths (Matthew 5:34-37) and His
sovereign command is echoed by James (5:12). Yet the taking of solemn oaths
is at the very heart of Masonic degree work. My brothers, these things ought
not to be!
Finally, the apostle Paul commands that believers in Jesus Christ be "...not
unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with
darkness?" (II Corinthians 6:14).
I have taken my Masonic obligations very seriously, and for that very reason, I
realize the cable-tow was a powerful yoke which bound me to the craft and to
many Masons who do not worship the true God or His Son Jesus, however
sincere they may be in their devotions. I must take the commands of my God
more seriously. To remain in Masonry is to compromise my fellowship with
Jesus Who died for me.
I realize that whatever benefits Masonry has, they cannot possibly be
compared with the joys of full friendship with the Almighty Lord of the
Universe Who died that I might live--and Who loves all Masons, as I do, even
though they allow Him no place in their ceremonies.
You, my brothers, must decide for yourselves what you will do with the god of
Masonry, but "as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua
24:15)

Thus, I respectfully serve notice of my total and final demiture from the
Masonic Lodge and all of its orders and degrees.
God bless you as you seek His will in this important matter.
In Christian love,

A Sample of Prayers of renunciation
If you or someone you love is a descendant of a Mason, I recommend that you
pray through the following prayer from your heart. Don't be like the Masons
who are given their obligations and oaths one line at a time and without prior
knowledge of the requirements.
First, bind all spirits of deception, antichrist, witchcraft, and death in the name
of Jesus Christ. Then read this prayer through so you know what is involved. It
is best to pray this aloud with a Christian witness or counselor present. I
suggest a brief pause following each paragraph to allow the Holy Spirit to show
any additional issues that may require attention.
Father God, creator of heaven and earth, I come to You in the name of Jesus
Christ Your Son. I come as a sinner seeking forgiveness and cleansing from all
sins committed against You, and others made in your image. I honor my
earthly father and mother and all of my ancestors of flesh and blood and by
adoption, but I utterly turn away from and renounce all their sins. I forgive all
my ancestors for the effects of their sins on my children and me. I confess and
renounce all of my own sins. I renounce Satan and all of his works in my
family and me.
I renounce and forsake all involvement in Freemasonry or any other lodge or
craft by my ancestors and myself. I renounce witchcraft, the principal spirit

behind Freemasonry, and I renounce Baphomet, the Spirit of Antichrist and

the curse of the Luciferian doctrine.
I renounce the idolatry, blasphemy, secrecy, and deception of Masonry at
every level. I specifically renounce the insecurity, the love of position and
power, the love of money, covetousness, and greed, and the pride/arrogance
that would have led my ancestors into Masonry. I renounce all the fears that
held them in Masonry, especially the fears of death, fears of men, and fears of
trusting, in the name of Jesus Christ.
I renounce every position held in the lodge by any of my ancestors, including
Tyler, Master, Worshipful Master, or any other. I renounce the sin of calling of
any man Master, for Jesus Christ is my only Master and Lord, and He forbids
anyone else having that title. I renounce the entrapping of others into
Masonry, and observing the helplessness of others during the rituals. I
renounce the effects of Masonry passed on to me through any female ancestor
who felt distrusted and rejected by her husband as he entered and attended
any lodge and refused to tell her of his secret activities.

Renouncing the Blue Lodge

First Degree: I renounce the oaths taken by any of my ancestors or me and

the curses involved in the First or Entered Apprentice Degree, especially their
effects on the throat and tongue. I renounce the Hoodwink, the blindfold, and
its effects on emotions and eyes, including all confusion, fear of the dark, fear
of the light, and fear of sudden noises. I renounce the secret word, BOAZ
which stands for the left pillar of the temple of Solomon. I renounce the
mixing and mingling of truth and error, and the blasphemy of this degree of
Masonry.

I renounce the noose around the neck, the fear of choking and also every spirit
causing asthma, hay fever, emphysema or any other breathing difficulty. I
renounce the compass point, sword or spear held against the breast, the fear of
death by stabbing pain and the fear of heart attack from this degree. In the
name of Jesus Christ, I now pray for the healing of the throat, vocal cords,
nasal passages, sinuses, bronchial tubes, allergies and asthma, for healing of
the speech area, and the release of the word of God to me and through my
family and me.
Second Degree: I renounce the oaths taken by any of my ancestors or me
and the curses involved in the Second or Fellow Craft Degree of Masonry,
especially the curses on the heart and chest. I renounce the secret words
JACHIN, which designates the right pillar of the temple of Solomon and
SHIBBOLETH, which means, "I am that I am". I renounce the blasphemy of
these words because only God can say these words. I cut off emotional
hardness, apathy, indifference, unbelief, and deep anger from my family and
me. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray for the healing of the chest/lung/heart
area and for the healing of my emotions and ask to be made sensitive to the
Holy Spirit of God.
Third Degree: I renounce the oaths taken by any of my ancestors or me and
the curses involved in the Third or Master Mason Degree, especially the curses
on the stomach and womb area. I renounce the secret words MAH-HAHBONE, MACHABEN, MACHBINNA, all of which mean to be brought down or
brought under. I renounce the meaning of TUBAL CAIN, (meaning is
benevolence and Cain was after all a murderer). I renounce the spirit of death
from the blows to the head enacted as ritual murder, the fear of death, false
martyrdom, fear of violent gang attack, assault, or rape, and the helplessness
of this degree. I renounce the falling into the coffin or stretcher involved in the
ritual murder. I renounce the false resurrection of this degree, because only
Jesus Christ is the Resurrection and the Life!

10

I also renounce the blasphemous kissing of the Bible on a witchcraft oath. I cut
off all spirits of death, witchcraft, and deception and in the name of Jesus
Christ I pray for the healing of the stomach, gall bladder, womb, liver, and any
other organs of my body affected by Masonry, and I ask for a release of
compassion and understanding for my family and me. I renounce being
resurrected into the light of Freemasonry.
Should you want to into these prayers a little deeper, I suggest that you do a
general prayer for the whole of the York Rites, Scottish Rites and the Shriners.
You can go to the web and Google any part of Masonry with the words
prayers of renunciation and you will find more prayers specific to your need.
I share some here.
