I have had the honor to edit Dr. Pickett's books. That editing has given me the opportunity to study them in depth. In these works, Dr. Pickett (besides revealing what a fine writer she is, with a clear style) shows herself to be an extremely knowledgeable and insightful biblical scholar who has much common sense and empathetic advice to impart to her readers.

WORDS FROM THE EDITOR

I’ve had the opportunity to facilitate weekly conversations around this book, and what has happened in the room has been just as meaningful as what is written on the pages.  This book has given us language and a starting point for conversations that require honesty, vulnerability, and trust. Week after week, I’ve watched people share their experiences, wrestle with what they are learning, receive critique and correction, and still feel safe and loved in the process.

Exposing Familiar Spirits is life changing. It is opening my eyes to so many things that I never stopped to think about was an issue. I've always read about the works of the flesh, but reading her book allowed me to see I was being influenced by variance with always wanting to argue. I always prided myself with being able to argue well, but my eyes were opened that this is not of God.

Incredible! Pastor, Prophetess Lauretta Pickett delivered a powerful, biblically grounded teaching on "The Shift" in our services. She masterfully revealed that every God-ordained transition requires renewed thinking, steadfast obedience, and unwavering faith through grief, opposition, and change. Her message was heartfelt, practical, and Spirit-led, reminding us that God never abandons us during life's transitions but faithfully leads us into His divine purpose. This wonderfully well taught teaching should indeed go down into the archives of her others Spirit given teaching.

— Apostle Cristder C. Bush

Prophetic Pickett is a truly anointed woman of God. I first heard her minister as a new believer sitting in the back of my church. In the middle of her message, she called me out, spoke accurately about hidden areas of my life, and prophesied what God had in store for me. I KNOW those words came from the Throne of God and forever changed the direction of my life.

Dr. Prophetess Lauretta Pickett is a powerful, true woman of the Most-High God! Her prophetic voice, wealth of knowledge, and sound mentorship make her a true beacon of light that calls out to the lost, rejected and the wounded always pointing them to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I was truly blessed diving into her book "Exposing Familiar Spirits". Once I started reading, I couldn't put the book down!

Exposing Familiar Spirits book," has helped me see myself in a new way. For years, I lived under the imprint of being called "absent-minded" by my mother, which made me afraid of people's faces and words. Exposing these familiar spirits has shown me that I can live differently. I now feel free, God showing me I can come out of this. Thank you for allowing God to use you in a profound way to help set people free from the enemy and the inner me.

After going through this powerful guide on deliverance, I saw aspects of myself mirrored in each chapter. I have begun to undergo deliverance and have gained a deeper understanding of thoughts I once thought were my own, only to realize they were shaped by familiar spirits from my past. I strongly suggest getting a copy of this book - it has the potential to profoundly change your life.

Exposing Familiar Spirits has helped me become aware of patterns and real spirits that have specific assignments, and behaviors in our own selves; family members; associates; teachers, authority figures, some positive, some negative that were exposed to generations of repetitious actions... Now being brought to the light... has strengthened my awareness to take a stand to cast down the hidden tactics of these familiar spirits, and soul ties. Thank you Pastor Lauretta for your surrendered ear to God and His word."

Exposing Familiar Spirits” by Dr. Lauretta Pickett truly transformed my life. This book opened my eyes in ways I never expected, especially Chapter 5 on demonic entry points. It’s not just a deliverance manual—it’s a powerful guide to freedom, healing, and spiritual awareness. I now feel equipped, empowered, and more discerning in my walk with God every single day.
