2) How do demons gain access into man?A) Through SinDemons gain access into our lives by our permission. What do I mean by our permission? When we sin (lie, lust, fornicate, etc) we unknowingly admitted demons into our lives. Sin is a invitation for satan to come and take refuge and begin to dominate us. ROM 6:16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone {as} slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? Romans 6:16 Tells us that if we surrender ourselves to sin we become
slaves to that sin. Now the way we become slaves is that a demon actually
possesses that area of our life and tries to increase the amount of control it
has. If it cannot increase it=s
influence it will be content on just maintaining what it has. An example that
most men |
will understand is pornography. Pornography is a great plague on our
land for it only takes a single surrender of indulgence to be bound by the
demons behind it. If we indulge our flesh in viewing more pornographic materials we
will soon find that we are unable to stop. Before long we will not be able to resist looking at
women as a sexual objects. Pornography will begin to play a greater and greater
role in our life until it seems that it just about consumes all of our time. We
may even act out of line with coworkers and friends. When these demons get full
control, rape, incest or some other outward manifestations are unavoidable. The
demons will drive us and hound us until we find the release in the act. We may
even feel a great deal of shame after the act but are totally unable to stop
ourselves. Most people think that sin is an offense to God which is why there
are rules against sin. But if the truth be known, it is only for our benefit that
we should not sin. We are the only one who will suffer, not God. God is trying
to spare us the hurt, humiliation, and ramifications that such heinous acts
bring. Sin has to do with death, and that is satan=s
domain not God's. This illustration can be applied to any other bondage whether
it be gossip, lying, thievery, murder, control, witchcraft or any false religion
and many other things.
