For the most part, demons are known by their “function names.” Thr function name will tell you what the demon specializes in once he becomes attached to a person, whether it be on the outside of the person or on the inside of the person.
For example, a spirit of lust will specialize in transmitting lust into the person they are attached to. Once they transmit that feeling of lust onto that person, they will then try to get the person to act out on it. This is how many people end up engaging in fornication, adultery, or pornography. This is what you call a person coming under “direct demonic influence.
Most of these cases are not full possession type causes, so God will still hold the person completely responsible for their actions, even if a demon is sliming (for lack of a better word) them with this lustful feeling, along with providing them with actual compulsion to try and act out on it. God still held both Adam and Eve totally responsible for their actions in the Garden of Eden, even though it was the devil himself who temped Eve to eaten fruit off that forbidden tree, and then Eve persuaded Adam to do the same.
Satan has not changed his tactics and strategies today, and he still uses demons and other people to try to get us to fall into various types of sin directly against the Lord.
All demons can do is try and make you do bad and evil things. And unless you are dealing with a case of temporary possession, or someone who had become mentally Ill in some way, most of the time the person will have all their senses fully intact enough to know right from wrong, and will know what the full consequences of their actions will be if the decide to go all the way through with it.
A good example of this are people who murder their love ones in a fit of rage and jealousy. Many of the times, these crimes are premeditated, which means the person is actually thinking about it already and planning how to do it.
Once they go into this kind of planning stage, the demons will then keep the pressure on from the back end to try and get them to follow through with the act. But a person can still stop it and call it off anytime they want to. They know full well what consequences are going to lead to if they get caught – life imprisonment or the death penalty. But in many of these cases, they will still follow through with it and actually murder their partner or whoever else they have targeted.
Demons with function names of murder, rage, and hate are many times the driving forces behind these types of horrible crimes. But again, the person is still fully cooperating with these demons with their free will being accountable and responsible by both the law if they are ever caught, and by God Himself once they die and cross over to face Him head on for their own personal judgement.
Most of the time people have no idea that it really is demons who are operating behind the scenes providing more fuel to the fires with what they specialize in such as spirits of hate, murder, jealousy, rage, anger, bitterness, and Unforgiveness. Once a group of these types of demons attach to a person who may have really hurt in a love affair, or their spouse being divorced by the other spouse, or a spouse catching another spouse in an adulterous and then try and do everything they can to slime the person with what they specialize is to try and get them. To act out on these negative feelings and emotions.
This is why it will really help everyone if they knew what some of the basic function names of the demons were, so they can then immediately spot their negative influence when they do try and move in for the attack on someone who may be open to their negative and evil influence.
The first basic rule of any kind of warfare, whether it be spiritual or natural warfare, is ti know your enemy. And knowing the basic function names of the demons who are out to give you a good head start, as their function names will tell you how they are “playing” along with providing you with clues as to what their legal rights may be on that person.
Here are some differences areas that demons will likely target once they move in on a person.
- Murder
- The occult
- Lust
- Pride
- Mental Health
- Unforgiveness
- Sickness
- Different Kinds of Vices
- False Religions
These are some major areas that demons will try and target once they move in for an attack on someone. These are the “games“ that demons try to play on us, and these are real life and death games, not fun type games. This is why the Bible tells us to always be sober, vigilant, and alert for any kind of demonic activity that could set in on us, or any of our love ones.
So, if you open a crack from any sin in your life, demons can easily slip in and try and take us over. If they see a hole in our protective hedge with the Lord. Note, that demons can play than one of these games on any one person.
