Different Kinds Of Demonic Spirits

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.

Family Secrets

It is true that every family has its secrets; however, it is the content of the secret that really counts.

Secrets can be small and insignificant, (planning a surprise birthday party celebration or a vacation) Those type of secrets and their keepers cause no harm.

On the other hand, traumatic, painful, or life changing secrets potentially can damage on the entire family’s mental health and well-being for some time.

Should You Keep Family Secrets?

Here’s why it might be harmful to continue doing so.

The most frequently kept secrets within a family include, but not limited to finances, serious health issues, abuse and death, and impeding divorce.

While keeping a family secret from the outside world may be advisable in some instances for privacy or protection, keeping secrets with a family can prove problematic.

Here are a few reasons why:

  • Keeping secrets can destroy relationships.

Keeping secrets within a marriage, or any significant adult relationship, can cause a breakdown in communication. The bond between the adults my be irreparably harmed, causing harm to any children as well.

When I was a children my brother drowned in a lake, when he was a scout trip. He was 11. I remember asking my parents where by brother was. “O’ he hasn’t come back you.” I heard my parents talking out his death. So, I walked to the funeral home and seen him laying in a coffin. When my father came home from I asked again, I said, I knew where my bother was. I told them I walked to the funeral home. He said “O he’s just sleeping. I lost all trust in my parents.

  • Keeping secrets can affect children’s lives.

Keeping secrets from children should be carefully thought through. Children are extremely perceptive, when they sense something wrong they become alarmed, and anxious.

  • Keeping secrets can cause suspicion and resentment.

Keeping secrets within the family can ignite feeling of suspicion and resentment among family members. We would all like to believe that those closest to us and claim to love us mean what they say can be trusted.

  • Keeping secrets can create a false sense of reality.

Keeping secrets within the family can create a false sense of reality. Especially among children. Children learn about the world from the adults in their lives. When they are eventually told the truth, either by the parent or even worse by someone outside the family, their world may feel shattered. Secrets’ impact on children can be profound, regardless of their age.

When I was in 3rd grade I finally go up the nerve to tell my teacher, what my mother was doing to be. To say the least that didn’t help at all. The teacher went straight to my mom. And of course, she told the teacher that I just had a big imagination. And when I came home from school I was punished for telling a “family secret.” So, from then on out, I knew I could trust no one one.

  • Keeping secrets can cause illness

Keeping traumatic secrets can result in excessive stress and guilt for the person carrying the burden of knowledge, even when that silence is thought to be the best possible option from all concerned. Physical symptoms such as anxiety, headaches, backaches, and digestive problems often can occur when disturbing secrets are internalized, rather than shared, especially over a long period of time. Person harboring such discomfort, often turned to alcohol or addictive substances to mask their pain. I began drinking at the age of 12.

That was my tipping point. I thought “well,if they don’t care about me, why should I care about myself.”

Secrets, especially ones about abuse, can lead to a horrific adult life. I held on to my secret of abuse for about 40 years. I had seen many therapists but I kept my mouth shut. I didn’t have a childhood. So, I lived my childhood through the things I did with my children.

To this day, I cannot believe my husband stayed with me. I still wonder why today.

With my faith and having hope that my children didn’t ever know what I went through as a child. Thank God, they are both very successful adults today. And my husband and I forgave each other for everything in the past. And started from scratch, a new husband and wife relationship.

Despite everything I endured God kept me alive. I know He had a purpose for me.

No matter what people have to experience in their lives. Everyone has a gift from God and a purpose.

Is Your Soul Tired?

What to do when your soul is tired.

In the modern world 90% of adults claim to feel tired. Perhaps, it is not more sleep we needs, but more things to inspire us. Spiritual fatigue can be overwhelming. You may sleep, but still not feel like you are invigorated about life. When your soul is tired, it can be tough to find your way toward the light.

Here a few ways to wake up your weary soul.

  • Move

One of th best things you can do to reinvigorate your soul is to get moving. You don’t have to spend hours at the gym to get results. Physical movement is the best ways to get a release of healthy endorphins which give you a natural high. With just 30 minutes of moderate exercise, you can start to feel your soul start to lighten up. As your body continues to move your circulation will increase, your heart will open for new blood flow and your mood will be boosted.

  • Spent Some Time Meditating

With personal schedules getting out of control and so many demands on our time, life can be overwhelming. To help renew your soul, you need to step away from the noise and constant movement each day by sitting quietly in a calm place so you can reawaken your soul.

  • Deep Breathing

  • Get Back To Nature

We are all natural creatures that rely on the world around us for survival and comfort. As modern-day hum and, we seem to spend more our time avoiding the natural world. If you have been feeling down or spiritually tired, you can try getting back out into nature. A short walk can help you to bring your soul back to life. Fresh air can make a world of difference to your general attitude and feeling of well – being.

If you are feeling tired, and it doesn’t seem to matter how much rest you are getting, you could have a soul exhausted by the demands you are putting on it.

Good Friday Event – What Really Happened

Good Friday, it’s called this because of an ancient usage of the word “good” as a synonym for Holy. In the same way as the Holy Bible at times is called the “Good Book, Holy Friday, indeed.

From the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was led to a mock trial, after which He was beaten mercilessly with a cat of nine tails. This procedure was so brutal that some recipients didn’t survive it. The leather cords tipped with sharp metal, tore at the flesh of the victim, ripping off pieces of flesh. The beating with its nine cords, delivered 39 times, made a total of 351 lashes. This was barbaric and brutal,not on,y lacerating the back, but wrapping around the front of the victims body, including the face. It is hard to described this lashing without being too graphic for most readers. The depiction of the horrible damage in the Passion movie is no exaggeration. Suffice it to say that when finished, the victim was often unrecognizable.

The soldiers also beat Christ with their fists and spat in His face. To mock Him as “King of the Jews,” a crown of thorns as placed on His head and pressed into His skin, causing great pain and more loss of blood. When the ordeal was finished.Jesus was so mangled and covered with spittle and blood that He was literally unrecognizable. Isaiah said, “Many people were shocked, astonished and appalled when they saw Him. His appearance was so damaged, disfigured and marred. He didn’t look like a man; His form was so changed they could barely tell He was a man (Isaiah 52:14 the amplified Bible). The added punishments and torture, much more than the average victim of crucifixion was afflicted with, can only be explained as the fury of hell, trying to snuff out the life of the Son of God.

Jesus received this for you and me. Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24 tells us through the beating that we can be healed. Place your faith in this today. Receive healing by placing your faith in His substitutionary sacrifice.

Jesus was then led to His crucifixion. There are several prophetic references or pictures in the Old Testament pointing to the Cross. One passage of extreme importance is Deuteronomy 21:22-23, which references one who experienced death by hanging on a tree as being “cursed.” It is abundantly clear from Galatians 3:13 that this verse refers to Jesus hanging on a “tree,” taking our curse. “ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us – for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.”

Jesus’s (Yeshua’s) crucifixion took place at Gotgotha, “the place of the skull.” God centuries before, had ordained that this would be the place and, with stones and stones erosion, craved the international symbol of death onto the hillside. This also was the location of Isaacs interrupted sacrifice (Genesis 22), which pictured the Cross. Like Isaac, we were spared, and God Himself provided the sacrifice. “Then Abraham looked up (lifted his eyes) and saw a male sheep (ram) caught in a bush by its horns. So Abraham went and took the sheep, offering its whole burnt offering to God, and his son was saved (In place of his son). So Abraham named that place the Lord Provides (Hebrews: Yahweh Yireh). Even today, people today, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided (or seen) (Genesis 22:13-14; The Amplified Bible). In this chosen place, high on a hill so all could see the Passover Lamb bearing our shame, God provided the sacrifice for our sins. Jesus carried His own Cross, though He was able to carry it only part of the way. It was actually the cross beam that He carried. When He arrived at the place of crucifixion, Ne was first tied and nailed with spikes to this cross piece, which contained a hole in the center, enabling it to slide down into the upright post.

After a victim was tied and nailed to this portion, it was lifted and placed onto the top of the upright section, whereupon it would fall down and slam into place. This is often with dislocations that would occur in the crucified person, as the crosspiece slammed down. And indeed we know this occurred with Jesus, As was prophesied of Him in Psalm 22:14. The sliding down of the crosspiece is also why the spikes were placed at the bottom of the handles where they joined the wrist; this placement would have sustained more weight. It’s also why the victim was tied to the crossbeam, if they were not secured in this way, they would often to torn loose.

Yeshua (Jesus) hung on the Cross for six hours in this emancipated state. While there He spoke seven times. They were all significant. Half way through the ordeal, at noon, the sun disappeared, and the sky drew dark (Luke 23::44-45). This was the fulfillment of Amos 8:9-10: “It Will come about that day, declares the Lord God ‘That I will make the sun go down at noon and make the earth dark in broad day light. The I will turn your festivals into mourning for an only Son, And It Will be like a bitter day.” Surely this is a prophetic picture of the Light of the World being snuffed out for us.

It was at the end of the 3 hours that Jesus cried out, “My God, My God, why hast you forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46-47. Mark 15:34). He was quoting from Psalm 22, which is a detailed prophecy of the Cross. Jesus was crying out in anguish because, for the first time in all of eternity, He was experiencing separation from His Father. It is also the only record we have Him addressing God as any other than Father.

Jesus had taken our sins on Himself (2 Corinthians 5:32; Isaiah 53:5). Most scholars agree that when this occurred, He bore our separation from the Father, who could no longer look upon Him. Though Jesus no doubt endured, and cried out in anguish. It is worth noting the Christ never cried out during His beatings, scourging, thorns, spikes, or dislocations – only when His separation occurred from His Father, as He bore our sin.

Finally, it was enough. The price had been paid. Christ made His final two statements. The first, “It is finished,” this was not a statement referencing His death, but a loud declaration by Jesus, also quoted from Psalm 22:31. This decree was one word in Greek (tetelestia) and also in the Hebrew of Psalm (asah). Using the literal meaning of these words, Jesus was declaring that He had finished His assignment, paid our debt in full, and was bringing forth the new creation!

Yeshua then released His spirit to the Father. Death did not take Him, He “yielded up His Spirit” (Matthew 27:50). It was 3 o’ clock in the after noon. The priests in the Temple were performing their customary duties when, at the very moment Jesus yielded up His Spirit, the veil in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom (Matthew 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45). The purpose of the veil had been to separate everyone from the Holy of Holies, the dwelling place of God and earth. With this symbolic act, God was declaring that the separation caused by our sin was gone, and we could now enter into His presence once again!

This account of what to place was shared in an email I received this morning. These are the accounts of what took place on this Holy Day -Good Friday 2000 years ago. The email was written by Dutch Sheets, a Pastor and American Author.

I find it very sad that people today don’t take the time to learn what Jesus did for us on the Cross. Many are too busy celebrating a long weekend of fun. Jesus is truly our Savior.

What Is Inner Peace?

Having a nervous breakdown was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

Before reaching the absolute end of my stress threshold, I never thought that finding inner peace was possible-especially for a sensitive person prone to anxiety like me. Peace was a completely foreign concept to me.

After having multiple instances of mental breakdowns, I finally learned what inner peace is and it wasn’t what I expected it to be.

I didn’t think the journey would turn Spiritual or that I was capable of it I always seen myself as a weak individual. Hitting rock bottom -feeling like I couldn’t go on anymore. Not even realizing there was a way to find it.

So, what’s inner peace? Inner peace is what we feel when our body, mind, heart, and soul is at rest. Instead of striving to control or resist ourselves and others, we feel a sense of profound acceptance, forgiveness, love, and compassion. Inner peace is being in touch with your true nature. Inner peace is the byproduct of letting go of all the stress, brokenness and sufferings and surrendering everything to God

When you hit rock bottom there is no where else to go but up. There is nothing else you have to loose. It’s not about chasing, striving, and trying to earn tranquillity. We you try to fight for inner peace is contradictory and pointless. It just deepen our suffering.

Finding inner peace is about relinquishing our need to control and fight. Essentially, you could say it’s about giving up (I’m just not going to fight anymore I’m done). But you don’t do it in a disempowering way. It’s a form of resignation that is based on a deeper level of understanding that we don’t need to constantly resist everything.

It doesn’t mean you become a pushover or a doormat that people can abuse. Living in peace is letting go and surrendering isn’t about letting yourself be used and abused. There just comes a point in life when we have to focus on ourselves, practice self-care, self-control and self-love. It’s time to pamper yourself and stop trying to make everyone happy except yourself. This might mean setting boundaries, saying no, and removing ourselves from harmful situations that don’t create peace in your life. But it also means surrendering, blame and hatred toward anyone. And you’ll be able to see the difference immediately. If it steals your peace then it’s to expensive. Life is all about balance.

Here’s a exercise that will help you to understand what inner peace is like

Sit down somewhere quiet. Then tense your entire body. Imagine you’re being scrunched into a tight rubber band ball. Hold that for 30 seconds. Become as contracted as possible. Make yourself super stiff and uncomfortable. Then release. You can feel how spacious you boby is now. That’s what inner peace feels like -except it radiates from the inside out.

I can feel it in my body now, when things start feeling tense. I feel pain between my shoulder blades. That’s when I know my body is contracting. And I need to remove myself from the situation – a sign I am losing my inner peace. Any situation you don’t feel at peace with. Remove yourself from it situation, no matter what it is, it not worth losing you peace over. If the situation is unavoidable. Get yourself away from it as soon as possible.

Don’t Sacrifice Your Inner Peace For Anyone.
