Secrecy is a sign of Mammon

What do clubs like the Freemasons, Odd Fellows, and Illuminati have in common?

They’re all shrouded in secrecy.

Back in 2007, when I was researching for my first book, I discovered that secrecy is a hallmark of mammon.

But what is mammon?

Mammon is the deification of wealth—the personification of it.

It’s worshipping money for the sake of it. It’s selling your soul get ahead, no matter who’s hurt.

Money is power and secrecy is a strategy the enemy uses to hold onto power.

Now, I’m sure most of you have never been part of a secret club, but I bet somewhere in your family line a relative has dabbled in one (especially free masonry if you’re in the United States).

Even if you’re sure you’ve never opened this door, it’s good to cover yourself in prayer.

To disempower the effects of mammon, say, “I see you, mammon. I do not partner with you. I send you back in Jesus’ Name. 

Jesus, cleanse me from all ties to this spirit. Forgive anyone in my family who has opened a door to secrecy or exclusive clubs. Jesus, what gift do you have for me in exchange?”

Write down what Holy Spirit says and place it on your fridge or bathroom mirror. Make sure it’s somewhere you can visit daily and remind yourself of the breakthrough God has provided.

Fingerprints of Mammon

Mammon is one of those words that gets thrown around in Christian circles. But what does it actually mean?

The term, which is mentioned in Scripture as mammonas, comes from the Greek word μαμμωνᾶς. Its origin is Chaldean (Babylonian) and is defined as:

To personify wealth. To deify riches as a god.

Mammon is a mastering spirit. It’s associated with greed and lust, but sins like secrecy, addiction, and envy are also characteristics.

For a full list of mammon’s traits, here’s a list I’ve compiled over the years. Ask the Holy Spirit if there are any present in your life, then rebuke them:

  • Mammon thrives on secrecy and half-truths by questioning your boundaries and twisting your thinking.

  • Mammon invites unhealthy comparisons and factions between individuals, families, and teams.
  • Mammon craves immoral and sensuous living in exchange for its own worship.

  • Mammon is an incubator for addictions and conspiracies.

  • Mammon is the source of entitlement, greed, and envy of others’ success.

Mammon views money as a source of worship. It’s evil and must be displaced by God’s truth.

Breaking free from mammon

God wants us to use wealth, but not be mastered by it. If you discern mammon’s presence in your life, you can break free with this renunciation prayer:

“I see you, Mammon. I do not partner with you. I send you back in Jesus’ Name. Jesus, forgive me for opening a door to secrecy, comparison, immorality, addiction, and greed. I hand this all to You and ask for Your goodness in its place. Jesus, what do You have for me in exchange?”
