I am going to say this up front, most of you will not believe in demonic influence especially if you are a Christian. if you are a Christian, you may think that is a funny statement to make, but those that I have encountered that claim to be Christian do not think that there can be any demonic influences in your life once you are saved. This is not true. In fact, I believe that Satan will try to attack you more and more until you turn away from God.
I bring this up because I really believe that there are demonic spiritual influences in my life. I went back through “Pigs in a Parlor” by Frank Hammond and took a look at the chapter on demonic groupings and I feel like out of the 53 that are listed I have about 40+ of them.
Now if you read this book, you may be thinking we all have some of them and that may be true. However, I do not believe that is how God made us. In fact, having these demonic spiritual influences is actually contradictory to what the Bible says.
As I mentioned yesterday, I feel that the biggest one I have is “Bitterness”. If you look at all the spiritual influences in that one category, I have most of them. No, I have not committed murder and do not plan too, but I have thought about retaliation. In fact, I would say that I have the first ten categories and most of the ones under that category.
To correct this, I have been trying to spend more time with God through reading His word and spending time with Him in prayer. Please continue your prayers for me because I am one messed up sinner who desperately needs it.
