This is in response to a comment made on another blog. I thought it was pretty insightful so I wanted to share it.
“I have to say though, that comment about their being no “spirit of heterosexuality” and thus no “spirit of homosexuality” was amusing to me. I tend to agree with pastor Benny on this point. Nearly every sinful or demonic act is influenced by a particular type of demonic spirit. The names of demons are not particulary important, their function and their type is what matters. So you may not always see demons “named” in the Bible, but their fuction and type are outlined. That is why Jesus often cast demons out of people to heal them. Even in the case of Mary Magdalene, she was delivered from prostituion by the casting out of 7 demons. The Bible does not name the demons, but the function of those demons were made clear and thus such demons could be categorized or “typed” if you will as “spirits of prostitution” or “spirits of perversion”.
Furthermore, we do not need different spirits or type spirits of righteousness, such as a “spirit of heterosexuality” (if heterosexuality is being marked as a good thing here within the confines of a legal marriage) to live right because there is only need of One Spirit to help us live righteously and that is The Holy Spirit. All righteous living is a result of the Spirit of God at work in our lives. In terms of heterosexual sin, that would be typed as a “spirit of fornication”. Although I definitely agree with you that all of these are derived from “the spirit of lust” which in actuality is merely “the spirit of satan”. So all sin is influenced by the spirit of satan as all righteousness is induced by “the spirit of God”!
I believe that ignorance concerning the workings of demonic spirits in our lives causes so many Christians to live a defeated life. Identifying a spirit does not give us excuses to sin, it gives ammunition to stop sinning! Typing a spirit is just specifying how the spirit of satan is working in your life specifically.”

I Know My Redeemer lives. I have been searching for answers.
For years I been dealing with these night spirits. UNfortunately I had an encounter in the month of September that was very bad. I have been masturbating off and on all my life. I was sexually abused by neighbors at the age of five.
The devil is a big deception. Although I thought i became reborn in 1990 i believe i am, I was ordained in 1996 Ministered to hurting people, even traveled the world doing minsitry. I was very sexually active in my teen years all the way up until 2years before i got married in 1991.
From that time up until my divorce I have not had sex period. Its been now 12 years. I thought that was a big thing i testified about that to several women encouraging them to live the way of God.To my deception my part was a lie I han’t had sex with a man but a demon spirit.
Masturbating is a open door. Years ago i went in search of information about this sin of masturbation Read a book thats still in the gospel book stores today stating this is not a sin but a way of release until marriage, BIG LIe. I only masturbated maybe 5 times out of the year. Wasn’t like it was before I was reborn when i was fornicating and doing all kinds of lustful things, Well big lie again.
This September i was sleep i had been going through a season of feeling sleepy all the time out of touch . I have recently gone back to school complete my under graduate degree so didn’t do much praying but i did do some. Iwent throuh this voice sexually speaking to me but i was asleep but awake at the same time. Telling me all the arousing things I thought i was dreaming, then the next thing i know It said to me let me give this to you, Next day i woke up and i felt something moving inside of me every since.
My question now is what do i do I been going through all kinds of emotions. I have had a time of reflection and I know sexual abuse is a generationl curse I knew this taught this to many women. My mother and aunt was seually abused. It only take one time I was drawn away of my on lust. I am guilty. I confessed my sins to the Lord, although i did this back in my conversion in 1990. I did it again this spirit is indwelling how can i get rid of it for good. The perverted thoughts come even when im not thinking of them. Since sexual abuse I battled with fear. Idon’t look at porno but i watch tv shows Greys Anatomy etc. I do go to the movies everthing have some kind of sexual overtone. have always tried to monitor this. Do you know of a ministry know that can help me I went to one a known deliverence ministry . I told them everything. They pray in teams, they prayed for me but nothing happen., even the person thats over ministry prayed at another time she didn’t know all the ends and outs and she just said walk it out. I pray, and renounce the spirits close doors, pray before i go to sleep, no manefestations, but not delivered yet. I have always prayed about it. Tell me of the ministry i will go please.
