This is how demons bring more demons!
Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
Matthew 12:45
Sin enslaves, and it does so in at least three ways. First, SIN ENSLAVES TO ITSELF. Then sin leads to more sins and to worse sins. Second, SIN ENSLAVES TO THE FLESH. When we habitually sin, addictions are created and bodily cravings come alive with a vengeance.
Harmful mental habits are formed and destructive patterns of living are birthed. The drug addict now needs another fix (whereas the very thought of drugs used to be repulsive for him). The kleptomaniac doesn’t know how to function without stealing (even though stealing was once unthinkable). Once they were free. Now each one is a slave. So why start the process if it only leads to bondage in the end? Third, and worst of all, SIN ENSLAVES TO DEMONS. What a horrific thought !
Demon spirits were the ones who helped inspire Nazi officers to throw Jewish babies into blazing fires–saving them the cost of a bullet–and motivated Nazi doctors to operate on Jewish twins, mutilating them without anesthesia. Demons are the epitome of everything ugly and destructive, yet when you give yourself to sin, you give yourself to them. Suddenly, they are harassing you, intimidating you, beckoning you, moving you, dominating you. They used to flee from you! Now, they torment and incite you. Now, you heed their voice!
Therefore give no place to the devil. Flee every immorality and sin. Hold on to the name of Jesus and you will be more than conquerors over them.
Your brother in Christ,
Apostle Ashok Martin
