We are going to look at six main demons that are mentioned in the Bible and what
are their functions now talking about demons it's important that we go to God's word
instead of going to our experiences or what we read online you know many times during deliverance
a demon will speak up that i am you know a demon of obesity demon of tiredness a demon of hate and
demon of anger and I am demon of rage and religion and a Jezebel spirit and so many other things
it's important to understand that names of demons they reveal the nature of demons unclean spirits
sometimes call themselves by idols animals and historic people who are notorious for their evil
deeds demons in the bible are called evil spirits they're called unclean spirits they're called
familiar spirits they're called lying spirits and angels of satan and their goal is to entice
to harass to torment enslave cause addictions defile deceive and even attack physical body
the first spirit that i would like to mention that is mentioned in the Bible is First Timothy
second Timothy chapter 1 verse 17 where Paul says to Timothy he says God has not given us a
spirit of fear a spirit of fear is a demon there is there is a healthy fear there is a fear of God
and then there is a spirit of fear a spirit of fear is a natural fear that invades your life
it's a fear of circumstances fear of death fear of driving a car fear of people fear of insanity
it's a chronic timidity it's paranoia fear of isolation fear of failure fear of losing a job
fear of getting married fear of getting sick horrors and nightmares as well as fear
of the dark there is natural fears there is a holy fear the fear of the Lord and then there is
a demonic fear it's a natural fear that grips your life and paralyzes you from doing what God wants
you to do a lot of times behind that is a demonic spirit and when the person experiences freedom
they also experience this release from this fear and they begin to go into places they
were not able to go before they're able to have relationships they could not have before
because something always held them back like a chain and it didn't allow them to go as far
as God intended them to go the second fear the second spirit I would like to highlight in the Bible
is the spirit of death in John chapter 10 verse 10 it speaks of the nature of satan which is to kill
steal and destroy you know if he can't destroy he will kill if he can't kill he will steal
meaning he will take something from your life without ever being present or visible to you
a spirit of death is a spirit that is behind constant thoughts of suicide murder epilepsy
self-mutilation abortion abnormal grief mourning and also convulsions
spirit of death a lot of times when people you know cut themselves when they
also contemplate suicide and when they experience a certain even um convulsions and epilepsy
a lot of times the spirit enters through abortion when people commit abortion that a spirit enters
into their life the spirit of murder is a spirit of death and it begins to plague
their life and maybe you're seeing these signs in your life as you're listening to this right now
during this lesson I want you don't just listen and take notes I want you to take inventory of
your heart do you see these patterns repeating in your life if you do we are going to pray together
in just a few minutes and cause the Holy Spirit to break the grip of spirit of fear and spirit of
death over your life and over your family another one is the spirit of harlotry or spirit of lust
as mentioned in Hosea chapter 5 verse 4 it's an evil force behind pornography adultery
fornication prostitution and homosexuality many times this demon brings sexual dreams and appears
as a spiritual husband or spiritual wife in a dream there's a demon that is behind pornography
that's released into people's lives see when people watch pornography they don't realize
is a lot of people who are participating in the pornographic films are on drugs
and because they have to be on drugs to do those kind of acts that they do
and drug can be an open gate to the demonic realm and so you're getting that impartation into your
life that demonic spirit that comes into your life and you need to renounce that you need to forsake
that and you need to walk away from that so you can walk with the Holy Spirit instead of living
under influence and control of a demon of lust another one is the spirit of bondage or spirit of
addiction as Romans chapter 8 verse 15 says this demon stands behind addiction to alcohol drugs
smoking gambling and also video games as well as lighter addictions as contributed
like addiction to food addiction to television phone computer money work sleep or constant
tardiness it's when people have an addictive thing and yes it's a habit but a lot of times
behind it is a demonic spirit that causes the person to keep on falling into the same thing
if you're addicted for example to smoking or drinking and it's just no matter what you
keep falling into that thing and you've tried therapy and you've tried disciplining yourself
why don't you see God for deliverance why don't you believe that during this course
God's going to deliver you and you're going to take whatever steps are necessary to see yourself
walking in freedom even after your deliverance now also another one is the spirit of infirmity
and similar one is the spirit of death and a dumb spirit spirit of infirmity is really
behind allergies diabetes arthritis cancer constant weaknesses mental disorder hunchback
organ failure nerve disorders chronic rash and fungal infections the similar one is also a spirit
of death and death and the death and dumb spirit it's when a person is deaf and the person is mute
and so we see in the story of the Bible where a person couldn't speak
and they couldn't they were deaf and they were dumb but behind that was a demon
who took on their dysfunction as their name and he functioned in their dysfunction and so when the
demon was cast out the person started to speak and the person started to hear we've seen many times
where people couldn't have children and when the demon was cast out they were able to have children
we've seen one person who had a sleep problem a sleep apnea and when the demon was cast out they
were delivered another person I recall who had cancerous who had cancer in their blood
and when they were delivered they were also healed and so God is able to bring total healing to
your life and a lot of times during deliverance healing takes place and so that's why we're not
just called to pray for healing we're we're called to heal the sick we're called to bring God's word
on the scene God's kingdom on the scene so the person can experience deliverance because many
times behind the deliverance is the door to their physical healing spirit of pride is next one
pride is not just an emotion it can be a spirit spirit that brings arrogance revenge rebellion
redness egoism lust for power criticism anger independence cruelty then glory and also jealousy
it's where a person is not just you know fall into pride but pride possesses them please understand
satan did not fall from heaven because satan was stealing or satan was lying satan did not
fall from heaven because he was watching porn or smoking weed he fell from heaven because of pride
it's one of his favorite demons it's one of his favorite characteristics is arrogance and pride
and last one is spirit of python or spirit of divination as it says in Acts chapter 6
Acts chapter 16 verse 16. spirit of divination as it's also called is the its main assignment is to
deceive this spirit operates through a cult like freemasonry mormonism scientology secret societies
new age Jehovah's witnesses eastern religions fortune telling chain letters black and white
magic calling out the devil numerology satan worship warrior witching levitation
charms ouija boards curses horoscope zodiac signs acupuncture and even dream catchers behind a lot
of these things if not all there are demons that will attack a person if they come in contact with
these things sometimes maybe you grew up in a family that dedicated you to one of these occults
and after you became a Christian maybe you're still noticing a black presence that is following
you everywhere perhaps you turn to God from a false religion and you're noticing a certain
setback I'm not in any way wanting to blame the devil God never calls us to blame the devil God
calls us to resist the devil God calls us to cast out demons not to blame them for anything blaming
devil is not going to get you any breakthrough but when you come against him when you come against
the generational curses when you come against the family heritage that maybe has been passed on to
you and you claim the blessing of Abraham you will see breakthrough and you will see God's blessing
in your life demons are doomed to fail and you are gonna succeed you're gonna overcome because
you're more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus so let's right now take a moment and come against
every spirit of fear spirit of bondage spirit of infirmity spirit of heaviness spirit of depression
or a spirit of python that is maybe attacking your life right now in Jesus name
Holy Spirit I ask you that you will fill the room right now
your presence is what brings deliverance Lord your word says what the spirit of the Lord is
that is freedom come Holy Spirit right now fill that room I command every spirit of fear
I command every spirit of affliction I command every spirit of heaviness and every python
or a snake spirit every spirit of lust and every spirit of pride in Jesus mighty name
to loose God's people right now to come out of that person right now to leave that person
right now in Jesus mighty name be free in Jesus name be free in Jesus mighty name or apply your
blood over this person right now and I speak your word of deliverance into their situation let them
just experience that deliverance right now in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ Amen
