◆Why do I need deliverance to be set free from sexually perverted spirits? I do not feel bound.
 

◆If I stopped living that lifestyle of sin and have no interest in it, do I still need to do deliverance?
 

◆I already asked God for forgiveness of past sins, do I still need to do deliverance?
 

◆I am already married and I believe I am happy. I fornicated with my spouse before marriage, do we still need to do deliverance?

Deliverance is a process which when one experiences it personally, they will discover so many layers about deliverance that are so profound.
I have talked about deliverance on other articles, in the REPAIR AND PURGE THE ALTAR series, if you scroll down the Sanctified People Facebook page you will see them. I talked about why we do deliverance on any matter.
 

 
Jesus not only forgave people's sins but DELIVERED them from wicked spirits that were binding them. He didn't speak positive affirmations to them or wish them well or imagine they had no demons or influences of demons; He CAST the demons OUT. Demons have to be cast out. Deliverance is a ministry tool that the church today has avoided, leaving congregations bound. 

 

Jesus ministry from start to end was purely deliverance i.e setting us free from the kingdom of darkness into His marvellous Kingdom of light. The ultimate deliverance was Him dying on the cross as a perfect lamb for the redemption of man.
 

God's structure is that sexual intimacy is to be had in a marriage; not before (fornication) or out of it (adultery). Sexual intimacy within a God ordained marriage reflects the covenant that God has with us. Sexual intimacy is more spiritual than it is physical. When done out of God's order, it creates soul ties, Sexual blood covenants, and opens up doorways for the devil to have a legal right/ground over virtually any area in our lives. Sexual demons are the number one destroyers of a blessed single hood season. These are also, as we all know, the number one destroyers of marriage.

Many times one can know when something is amiss in their spiritual lives, but one does not have to feel sad, be broke, experience bad things to know that they are bound. Sometimes, we take an anomaly as a normal thing in our lives because we are used to it, not knowing that we are in a spiritual prison. Just like the Pharisees were bound and did not know, but believed that they were better than other people, you can be bound and not know that you are bound.

 
Matthew 23:26
Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.
 

As long as you went against God's commands concerning anything in your life, it means that you do not have a full revelation and understanding about God's will and commands concerning that matter. This can keep you bound and have you walking below par of the victorious life that you should be living by now.
Also, as long as you went against God's commands concerning anything in your life, you opened a doorway for the devil to come into your life and have a legal ground to do whatever he pleased with your life. Demons and influences of demons can lay dormant in our lives and rise up and start manifesting when we least expect.
 

For example a saved friend was in a fornicating dating relationship with her husband before they got married. They got a daughter out of wedlock and decided to later get married. Everything was going on fine for the first years until Rhoda* discovered that her husband was having an adulterous affair with a workmate. This floored her. When she asked what the problem could be, the problem lay in the foundation of the marriage. It was built on fornication hence allowing the devil to get into the marriage. The sexually perverted spirit of fornication was now manifesting in another way in their marriage, it was manifesting as adultery. Sexually perverted spirits are usually related in that they can manifest in many ways. They can manifest as death eg abortion or miscarriages. They can cause anger, quarrelling, strife and murder. Spirits of sexual perversion can also cause financial bondage and poverty.
 

The devil attacks the area of sexual purity because it reflects the holiness of God in a perfect covenant with us. True Perfect Godly Love cannot have even one speck of evil in it. True Perfect Godly Love cannot be marred by sexual perverted spirits. True, Perfect, Godly Love produces blessings that overflow into many other areas of our lives. You will find a God ordained couple that say they have never argued in their marriage or have very minimal problems and you will wonder is that even possible? It is because they learnt to mortify their flesh and carnal nature and made themselves subject to the commands of God in ensuring that they embodied the True, Perfect and Godly Love of God even before they ever met their God ordained spouse. They were already living a pure and chaste life and didn't fornicate before marriage. Purity to them isn't because they were looking for a spouse. Purity is because God commands holiness. And because they sought the righteousness of God first, God added everything else unto them including their God ordained spouse and peace.


More reasons why we do deliverance of spirits of sexual perversion and deliverance of anything that may be binding us:
 

• We do deliverance of sexually perverted spirits if we once lived in these sins or are currently living in these sins and want to be set free from this sin.

• We do deliverance to renew our minds to know God's will, to have Christ working in us, changing us everyday.
• We do deliverance to close any gaps that we created on the hedge of protection that God puts around us.
•  We do deliverance to go after our Godly virtues and blessings that the devil has stolen from us when we were in sin.
•  We do deliverance to repent, stop sinning and start living actively, deliberately and purposefully under the will and commands of God.
• We do deliverance to live the life that God has called and created us to live.
• We do deliverance to cast the devil out of our lives.
• We do deliverance so that we can teach our children how to live pure and holy lives.
• We do deliverance to allow God to deploy His power in our lives against the schemes of satan.
• We do deliverance to clean up our lives and allow God's perfect will to be done in our lives.

Deliverance has so much power, the devil is afraid of it. Once we get right with God, there's so much power we hold and we can begin living victorious and peaceful lives in God.

Consider the Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego; when they chose purity and not to defile themselves, God opened to them doors in their lives that were even beyond what the presidents and princes of that time could ever think of.

 

 

We may think we are okay and we're doing good, but what about what God can do for us? It's not just about wealth and recognition, it's about being in right standing with God, about HIS righteousness and not our righteousness. It's about having our minds renewed and transformed to understand His will and why He commands us to live holy, pure, sanctified lives. It's about living in the wonderful peace that He gives us that surpasses human understanding. Not the peace of that this world perpetuates it can give, but the peace that God gives.

 

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; MY PEACE I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Deliverance ushers us into the beauty and blessings of purity, holiness and sanctification.
