have you ever heard of the term bedroom demons it's self-explanatory in terms of the meaning but these are the kind of demons that hide behind physical pleasure they are masked behind the smoke screen of lust soul ties are real the Demonic transference of spirits is real you open up your spirit to receive an impartation of some kind when you share your body so be careful who you love play with because he might catch something you can't shake off a man testified in one seminar about the dangers of sexual immorality he met a lady and they
were both swept off their feet with lust and infatuation for each now in a relatively short period of time they fell into sexual sin this man who was born and raised a Christian he saw red flags about this woman which he chose to ignore because the Temptation was so strong and his attraction to her was also strong now without knowing each other well they got involved sexually and admittedly the man knew he was fornicating but he kept telling himself lies like it's just this one time and isn't that how the devil gets you in bondage
isn't that the type of comfortable lie the devil wants you to believe so the relationship continued and it wasn't until one day he found a book that made him frightened and asked the question what have I got myself into the book was a teaching on how to become Clairvoyant and for those who don't know what Clairvoyant is it's all to do with being a fortune teller and psychic when he brought this to her attention and asked what is this for her response was that she was practicing to become a psychic she had joined an online
group and had all sorts of materials that she was practicing at home with think about that for a second she was practicing Supernatural rituals that were evil in nature and this man was already deep in a physical relationship with someone he clearly didn't know this kind of psychic Spirit has been previously encountered in the Bible if you read acts 16 from verse 16 a story is told about Paul encountering a slave girl who had a spirit of divination that is a demonic Spirit claiming to forell the Future and discover hidden knowledge acts 16:18 reveals how
Paul eventually dealt with the spirit as the Bible says Paul having become greatly annoyed turned and said to the spirit I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her and it came out that very hour and so with the example of this Christian man who was giving his testimony he was fornicating with a clairvoyant in trining on the surface level it's Boy Meets Girl but on a spiritual level it's righteous meeting with unrighteous on the surface level it's Man meets woman but on a spiritual level it's being unequally yoked on
a spiritual level he had exposed his soul his spirit and his body to an ungodly Spirit who knows what that did to his spiritual life who knows what attachments formed and what kind of spiritual ties were created through the grace of God this young man had been in church long enough to know the seriousness of the situation and decided to act by confiding in the pastor who fasted with him prayed with him and helped him stand in faith so that any ungodly ties would be broken and he would be restored however I want you to
notice how this all began because he crossed a boundary which he wasn't meant to sex in marriage is a boundary that is meant to protect us when you rush into a sexual relationship even while looking for a husband or wife you step outside the boundary of protection God has set and you expose expose yourself to all kinds of things for every person you interact with there is more to that person than what meets the eye for each individual you can't see what type of spirit this person has you can't see what kind of spirit follows
their bloodline and if you knew all of these things you certainly wouldn't jump into bed with anyone who isn't your husband or wife but before I expose more about bedroom demons and exactly how they operate here's what happens Boy Meets Girl Man meets woman this happens every day all around the world and because of the flesh we are so easily Swept Away by the physical that we completely forget the spiritual he looks at the hair the smile the beauty the body she looks at his stature his muscles in the beard perhaps but none of them
sto to even think about the other person's spiritual state or background none stops to think about the spiritual baggage that the other has at face value anyone can say they're a Christian anyone can say the name of Jesus but it's how they live and conduct themselves that matters it's what's in the heart that really matters so the question is since we cannot see or tell the state of a person's heart whether it's wicked or pure since we can't see the intentions in a person's heart whether they be evil or good when Boy Meets Girl when
man meets woman why is it that they can jump right into a sexual relationship without any thought about what they're entangling themselves with God has set boundaries 1 Corinthians 7:2 says but because of the temptation to sexual immorality each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband allow me to phrase it differently the temptation to sin sexually is too strong for you to resist so a man should have his own wife and a woman should have her own husband sex between a husband and wife in The Covenant of marriage is a
boundary a boundary is a dividing line it's a line which marks the limit of an area and there are a few boundaries we're given in the Bible Ephesians 5:3 but sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you as is proper among Saints 1 Corinthians 7:1 and 2 says now concerning the matters about which which you wrote it is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman but because of the temptation to sexual immorality each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband
these are the boundaries the Lord has set for us all so be careful not to cross the boundaries set by the Lord don't expose your spirit to evil don't form bonds and attachments through sex but rather flee flee because your life depends on it now Hebrews 13:4 in the Amplified translation says marriage is to be held in honor among all that is regarded as something of great value and the marriage bed undefiled by immorality or by any sexual sin for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous So within the boundary called marriage set by
God sex is Honorable the bed is undefiled Two Become One flesh and they're blessed when you decide to step outside of this boundary well here you place yourself at risk of uniting yourself with all kinds of unh wholesome spirits and the thing about spiritual attachments is that you don't often see the damage right away you don't see the damage it does to you right away 1 Corinthians 6:13 says food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food and God will destroy both one and the other the body is not meant for sexual immorality
but for the Lord and the Lord for the body the body is not meant for sexual immorality because you open yourself up spiritually to people spirits and this you don't know so be careful about your relationships sexual temptation is a deceiver sexual temptation is a liar the only sin the Bible explicitly tells you to flee is sexual immorality and that is because you are stepping outside the boundary God has set talking about evil spirit IR is a strange thing to many of us today however when Jesus walked the Earth he cast out evil spirits he
rebuked them he warned against them most importantly he taught people about them he taught people about their existence and their tactics but today many Christians will quite openly speak about angels but ignore the reality of demons now don't get me wrong we are not to glorify demons but equally we are not to fear them but the fact is that Jesus's Ministry included teachings about demons and encounters with demon possessed individuals so we ought to at least be knowledgeable against the schemes of the kingdom of darkness now Jesus gave us a very important teaching about unclean
spirits in Matthew 12: 43-4 the Bible says when an unclean Spirit goes out of a man he goes through Dry places seeking rest and finds none then he says I will return to my house from which I came and when he comes he finds it empty swept and put in order then he goes and takes with him seven other Spirits more wicked than himself and they enter and dwell there and the last state of that man is worse than the first so shall it also be with this wicked generation allow me to point out a
few things here we are houses so to speak the Bible says do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you now a clean house is one that the Holy Spirit dwells in a dirty house is one that has an unclean Spirit a demonic Spirit now the Bible in Matthew 12:44 says I will return to my house from which I came notice how the unclean Spirit takes ownership of the house house the body the first thing it tells me is that unclean spirits have an intellect they think and in
their thinking if they dwell in a house if they possess a person they get attached to the place notice the language used in Matthew 12:44 I will return to my house now let's focus on this concept of an unclean Spirit returning to the same house have you ever known noticed someone who is bound by something can be free for some time and then fall back into that very same bondage they will be set free and delivered from a problem an addiction or some type of stronghold until until the demon comes back to check on what
it considers its house this is why we have to be extremely diligent about our relationship with the Lord because once you've been delivered your house still needs to be occupied and if that house doesn't have the fire of the holy spirit in it that house doesn't have the fruit of the spirit in it then it's a house that's exposed it's a house that Jesus described as empty swept and put in order but this means that the unclean spirit will go and take with him seven other Spirits more wicked than himself and they enter and dwell
there and the last state of that man is worse than the first and the thing you will find is is that when it comes to Demons that word can conjure vastly different emotions revulsion and fear in some laughter and entertainment in others for many there may be curiosity for a few perhaps even adoration one thing is sure even as culture grows increasingly skeptical the Unseen realm possesses a firm grip on the minds of many for decades demon possession and exorcism had been a successful Trope in the entertainment industry in 1973 the Exorcist shocked audiences became
a blockbuster hit and launched a new genre of film over 50 years later dozens upon dozens of possession and exorcism films have been produced many of these films have merely used shock tactics and gory effects others have successfully marketed their dark film as based on a true story The horror genre may be the most natural home for demon themed works but it isn't the only one from spoof movies to comic strips Satan demons and Hell have often been used as comedic material undoubtedly there is a variety of reasons but demon- based entertainment seems to be
going strong perhaps people feel demons are just another form of entertainment one Trope amid many in the world of fantasy and myth some strange Fascination May hold others the Unseen tends to have that effect a little truth a lot of error and active imaginations can lead to all sorts of ideas fears and musings what is clear is many do not know or understand the truth about demons the Bible sheds light on this dark subject and the truth of scripture paints a vastly different picture than modern culture on one hand demons are surely more Sinister than
Hollywood will ever be able to portray the other followers of Jesus need not fear the Lord's defeated enemies throughout the gospels and the book of Acts we find multiple occasions when Jesus or his disciples encountered possessed individuals often these demons are referred to as unclean spirits the conditions details and impact of possession buried some victims were grown adults others were children sometimes a solitary Spirit inhabited a person other times multiple Spirits did possessions seem to give inhuman strength Mark 5:4 says of one man he had often been bound with shackles and chains but he wrenched
the chains apart and he broke the shackles in pieces no one had the strength to subdue him if Ephesians 19 recounts an event when seven non-Christian Brothers attempted to cast out an evil spirit the demon possessed man leaped on them beat them and sent all of them running away naked and wounded the Bible demonstrates that demons tormented their hosts and made life miserable some unclean spirits caused their victims to be blind or mute the legion possessed man lived among tombs was always crying out and cutting himself with stones one poor father lamented to Jesus that
an evil spirit would seize his only child convulse him and cause him to cry out and foam at the mouth the father was sure that the demon was destroying his son these descriptions are not the fanciful imaginings of Hollywood writers they are truthful descriptions of possessed individuals Dearing Jesus's Earthly Ministry the prospect of demon possession would be terrifying indeed and yet the follower of Jesus need not give into fear the Bible does not record incidents of demon possession to frighten us these records do demonstrate the hatred and evil of the enemy but more so they
highlight the power and victory of Jesus in many New Testament accounts the Bible declares that Jesus rebuked the unclean spirits Jesus did not go toe-to-toe with an equal force Jesus stood in the position of authority and Power power Jesus didn't struggle with demons he made demands that were obeyed immediately Jesus wasn't afraid of evil spirits he sparked fear in them even when Jesus confronted a man hosting an entire Legion of demons they fell down before Jesus and begged him not to torment them that is a far cry from the demons portrayed in movies when demons
faced off with Jesus they knew they were beaten before a battle could even begin Jesus gave this same power and authority to his Apostles when Jesus sent out the 12 and later the 72 they were given authority over unclean spirits when the 72 returned they excitedly proclaimed Lord even the demons are subject to us in your name Luke 10:17 Jesus responded I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven behold I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and all over the power of the enemy and nothing shall hurt you Jesus wasn't just
defeating the enemy he was protecting and empowering his followers against the enemy as well the book of Acts tells of Peter and Paul casting out evil spirits in the same manner as Jesus had with complete Authority and assured Victory with such power and victory followers of Jesus need not fear the enemy it would be wise however for Christians to be circumspect in their actions while we need not fear Satan and his Legions we should be wary of entertainment that focuses on and glorifies the enemy to an unbelieving or superstitious World demons might be fodder for
intriguing entertainment to the Lord's followers they should be recognized for what they truly are the enemy who hates us and hates our King beings who need not be feared but beings whom we also don't want to unwittingly glorify or be entertained by for all this there was and is a more significant battle and a more excellent victory in the end Satan's goal isn't to possess and torment your physical body his aim is your soul his real desire is to separate you from God for eternity but here too Jesus has won the victory through his sacrificial
death and Victorious Resurrection Jesus has crushed the head of the serpent and defeated Satan and his armies for those willing to follow Jesus doesn't just offer protection from possession he has won deliverance from Hell itself e
