This is a compilation of information to inform those in the body of Christ about the enemies we face. We are more than conquerors in Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:37) We don’t have to be ignorant of the enemy’s devices, schemes and such like. (2 Corinthians 2:11) Please pray about this in Jesus Christ’s Name and try, test and prove all things as you as a Child of His are called to do. (1 John 4:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:21) 

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

What do we know about demon spirits? They are the nephilim. The offspring of the fallen ones and humans and such like. Demons are evil personalities. They are spirit beings. They are the enemies of God and man. Their objectives in human beings are to tempt, deceive, accuse, condemn, pressure, defile, resist, oppose, control, steal, afflict, kill and destroy. Demons are identified according to their nature, and each demon is a specialist in that nature. 

Demons enter through “open doors”. They have to be given an opportunity. There must be an opening. In other words, one does not pick up a demon by walking down the street and accidentally bumping into one that is looking for a “home”. Evil spirits have no sense of fairness. They never hesitate to take full advantage of times of weakness in a person’s life. Of course the weakest time in most lives is childhood. A child is completely dependent upon others for protection. The majority of demons have entered the persons during childhood. 

Demons can invade and dwell inside human bodies and other living creatures like the swine the legion were cast into by Jesus Christ. (Mark 5:6-13) It is their objective to do so because after their physical bodies were destroyed in the flood in Noah’s day they have an uncontrollable desire to have another of their own. By a person being inside a body they obtain a greater advantage in controlling that person than when they are working from the outside. When demons dwell in a person, he or she is said to “have” evil spirits, to be “with” evil spirits, or to be “possessed” with demons. (Mark 9:17; Luke 4:33; Mark 1:23; 5:2; Matthew 4:24). The word translated “possessed” by the King James version is the Greek word “daimonizomai”. Many Greek authorities say this is not an accurate translation. It should be translated as “demonized” or “have demons”. Much misunderstanding has resulted from the use of the word “possessed”. This word suggests total ownership. In this sense, a Christian could never be “demon possessed”. They cannot be owned by demons because he is owned by Christ. 

I Corinthians 6:19-20 

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 

1 Peter 1:18-19 

18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 

Entrance into a person's life is always through some type of an agreement, covenant, oath and such like, known or hidden they have made with the kingdom of darkness. The majority of the time it will be through deception and trickery that gains them access to one’s life. This is now a created stronghold, a doorway and entrance for the demons and other evil spirits to have legal access into your life. This is for both the saved and the unsaved. 

For the Child of God who has accepted Jesus Christ into their hearts as their Lord any access that has granted demon activity (a stronghold) should be immediately dealt with in the authority of Jesus Christ with true repentance of heart. For the Christian these demons should be considered as evil, undesirable and unnecessary. They are trespassers. A trespasser is one who unlawfully and stealthily encroaches upon the territory of another. Trespassers can continue their unlawful practices until they are confronted and challenged on the basis of one’s legal rights. We do this through Jesus Christ whose authority supersedes that of the kingdom of darkness. (Colossians 2:15; Matthew 28:18) Jesus Christ has redeemed and purchased the believer with His own Blood and has made Him Lord and Master over his own life. The devil, the kingdom of darkness has no legal right to him; however, it is up to him to defend his rights. No demon can remain when the Christian seriously desires him to go! We are called to cast demons out of all that need deliverance but with the unsaved we need to be sure that before or after casting the demons out they accept Jesus Christ into their hearts as Lord, making the open confession so their house isn’t left empty and clean for the demon/demons to return with 7 more. Then that person’s state will be worse than before they were delivered. (Matthew 12:43-45) 

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 

Luke 10:17; 19 

17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 

19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 

We are called to cast out demons-evil spirits in Jesus Christ’s Name Verses Mathew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 

Luke 10:17;19 

17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 

19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Mark 6:7 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; 

Mark 16:15-18 

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 

Binding the Strongman Verses 

Mark 3:23-27 

23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 

26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. 

Matthew 18:17-19 

17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 

18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 

19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 

Additional needed information 

Matthew 12:43-45 

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 

44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 

45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

Acts 16:16-18; Mark 5:1-20; Matthew 10:1; Luke 11:14; James 4:7; Matthew 17:14-20; James 2:19 

Some demons have to be loosed first and then cast off/out. Such as the spirit of infirmity in which a person has been afflicted for a long time. This is different than regular type or common sicknesses. 

. 

Example: Luke 13:11-13 

11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. 

12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 

13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

 

Casting out demons: Christians 

When a person gives their lives to Jesus Christ, any demon spirits are ‘cast out’ of that person’s spirit, because their spirit now belongs to Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit dwells there. But the evil spirits are still attached to the soul through the prior spiritual bondage/stronghold in their lives and must be ‘cast off’, rejected and renounced, along with its lies and effects. This is why even after some people accept Jesus Christ into their hearts that demons have to be cast off and cast out in the power of His great Name. While others get delivered from it all upon salvation. 

Spirits mentioned in the Holy Bible 

1. Spirit of fear 

Fear: Cowardice, timidity; of terror and torment 

2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 

The spirit of fear uses intimidation and torments. It causes one to worry, doubt and live in unbelief. Fear is in direct opposition to faith and can hinder the flow of confidence that it takes to walk in the spirit of Jesus Christ. This spirit causes its host to play out scenarios that do not or may never exist, making one afraid and hopeless. It is said that the acronym for the word FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real, and this makes perfect sense.

2. Perverse spirit 

Perverse: describes someone or something that is twisted, morally wrong, or contrary to what is right or good. It can refer to a person's character, actions, speech, or even thoughts. The word is often used to highlight a deviation from God's will or a rejection of truth and righteousness. This is the spirit that hides behind the name of Jezebel. 

Isaiah 19:14-16 

14 The Lord hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit. 

15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do. 16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shaketh over it.

3. Deaf, & Dumb Spirit 

Definition: To be unable to hear and therefore cannot speak. The term can also be used to describe people who are spiritually unresponsive or unwilling to listen to God's message. 

Mark 9:17-22 

17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; 

18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. 21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. 22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. 

The deaf and dumb spirit is a literal spirit of infirmity that causes one to not be able to hear or speak and also causes epileptic conditions to manifest. 

Strongman Deaf-Dumb Spirit (Mark 9:25-29) 

• Suicide • Convulsions • Epilepsy • Seizures • Schizophrenia • Lunatic •Insane • Inner Ear Diseases • Physical & Spiritual Blindness • Eye Diseases • Dumbness • Speech Loss • Stuttering • Deafness • Tearing • Foaming Mouth • Pining Away • Can't Function • Thrashing about • Fear • Foul spirits • Silences physically and spiritually • Self-doubt • Timidity • Spiritual deafness • Mute • Spiritual & Physical Misunderstanding • Confusion 

4. Foul Spirit 

Definition: impure (ceremonially, morally (lewd) or specifically (demonic): – foul, unclean.

Mark 9:25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 

Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 

These foul spirits abide on its hosts and entices one to be lewd and nasty in manner and language. During deliverance of this demon a person can undergo a change of countenance. Their faces could change, even morphing on some occasions. 

It can cause those normally polite and shy to change in an instant and begin to utter horrible profanities imaginable that they would never use. The foul spirit also tries to make the person degrade themselves, in many cases playing with their own urine or feces, leaving the person mentally disturbed. That is the state that they wish to see their prey in. 

The foul spirit often carries with it a rude stench similar to that of garbage, vomit or rotting flesh. Many people have experienced this smell while performing exorcisms during the deliverance of demonic spirits. 

***Mark 9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.*** 

Mark 7:37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. 

Deaf, dumb & Foul spirits information combined: 

These types of spirit work by intimidation, causing people to be void of understanding and knowledge and causing them not to be able to learn or hear the truth. Also causing at times someone who knows the truth to be intimidated into keeping silent, succumbing to self-doubt, fear, and timidity. The spirits understand the power of the spoken word in confessions (1 John 1:9), positive affirmations (Proverbs 18:21) and declarations (Romans 10:9-10). These spirits know about the law of binding and loosing and try to keep the children of God blinded to the power that resides within Jesus Christ and thus inside of them. 

Strongman Deaf-Dumb Spirit/Foul (Mark 9:25-29) 

• Suicide • Convulsions • Epilepsy • Seizures • Schizophrenia • Lunatic •Insane • Inner Ear Diseases • Physical & Spiritual Blindness • Eye Diseases • Dumbness • Speech Loss • Stuttering • Deafness • Tearing • Foaming Mouth • Pining Away • Can't Function • Thrashing about • Fear • Foul spirits • Silences physically and spiritually • Self-doubt • Timidity • Spiritual deafness • Mute • Spiritual & Physical Misunderstanding • Confusion 

5. Spirit of Heaviness 

Definition: To be weighed down, Tired, Under Pressure; Oppression

Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified. 

The spirit of heaviness operates in many ways including the lack of motivation due to circumstance and situations. This brings about hopelessness to cripple an individual spiritually. It acts as bondage like a yoke of oppression and can even feel like a literal weight on your shoulders. When the spirit of heaviness is released, the person oftentimes feels lighter physically, emotionally and spiritually. Many who operate under this spirit feel as if they must have an answer for everything and feel like they have to carry everyone else’s burdens. Empaths using the discernment of spirits can actually feel this emotional and spiritual baggage carried by individuals around them.

6. Spirit of Whoredoms 

Definition: 1. Lewdness; fornication; practice of unlawful commerce with the other sex. It is applied to either sex, and to any kind of illicit commerce. 

2. In Scripture, idolatry; the desertion of the worship of the true God, for the worship of idols.

Hosea 4:12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God. 

Leviticus 20:6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. 

It is essentially the spirit of prostitution that causes the person to sell themselves short for momentary acceptance. A Person possessed by the spirit of whoredoms causes them to live and die by the acceptance or rejection of others. It will go from person to person, group to group looking for affirmation that is only found in Father God alone. In Scripture this term is used when Israel turned her back on Father God and went after foreign gods. Most of the time, the person inwardly knows that what they are doing is wrong and they continue to do it to lash out or prove a point to someone. 

Strongman Harlotry/Whoredoms Spirit (Hosea 4:12; 5:4) 

• Unclean / Foul • Idolatry • Homosexuality • Fornication • Prostitution • Bestiality • Zoophilia • Objectophilia • Adultery • Beauty • Objectophilia • Love of World • Love of Money • Corruption • Love of Food • Love of Self (Cosmetic Surgery & Such Like) • Altering Appearance non- surgically (Hair dyes, Braiding, Elaborate hairstyles, Makeup and such like/ Marine Kingdom) • All Sexual Sins • Emotional Weakness • Unequally Yoked • All Spirits that compete with God • Lust • Fantasy Lust • Masturbation • Lesbianism • Pornography • Incest • Molestation • Transgenderism • LGBTQ • Rape (All forms) • Exposure • Chronic dissatisfaction • Worldliness • Idolatry • Spiritual Adultery • Unfaithfulness • Immorality • Idol Worship • Sex Troubles • Idolatry • Unfaithful • Unsatisfied • Lying • Deception • Pride •Haughtiness • Rebellion • Spirit Husband or Wife

7. Haughty Spirit (Pride)We call Leviathan 

Definition: Proud, arrogant, and disdainful, often looking down on others and placing themselves above them, even above God. It's a manifestation of pride and a lack of humility; prideful arrogance 

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. 

Job 41:1; 34 

1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? 

34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

The haughty spirit is an unteachable spirit. It influences a person to always have to be right, even when proven wrong. Cognitive dissonance is when a person refuses to change their mind or belief, even when shown proof of its falsehood. Operating under cognitive dissonance, the person under the influence of the haughty spirit will cling to a belief tooth and nail, never admitting error in fear of losing validity. This spirit disables a person or teacher from walking in true humility by lording prideful arrogance through doctrine and dogma. It is a controlling spirit of pride, which cometh before a fall.

1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 

Many people confuse the spirit of antichrist with the antichrist of Revelation. These are two different representations of the same spirit. 1 John 4:3 tells us, “but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.” The spirit of antichrist is characterized by a denial of Christ's identity and authority. This can manifest in various ways, including denying his incarnation, his deity, or his role as the savior. It causes the distortion of Christian teachings and the promotion of false doctrines that contradict the gospel. The spirit of antichrist can be seen in individuals who actively oppose Christianity, whether through persecution, hatred, or the promotion of ideologies that undermine Christian values.

9. Spirit of Divination or Spirit of Python 

Definition: to foresee, to foretell, to predict, to prophesy" related to divinus, divine, or "to be inspired by a god." Divination is the effort to obtain insight into a question or situation by way of an occultic, standardized process, or ritual. To engage in divination is to reveal mysterious knowledge by supernatural practices. It is correlated with the occult and involves fortune-telling or soothsaying, as it used to be called 

Acts 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 

It can be a little tricky to understand the spirit of Python due to the translation of the Bible. In English the word used is “divination”. Divination by itself is not something bad or something to be afraid of. This is not a correct translation because the passage is talking about a woman who is channeling the spirit of Python. The Greek word used here is Python referring to the Pythian serpent that was said to have guarded the oracle at Delphi and that was slain by Apollo. The prophets and disciples all participated in forms of divination and ritual in order to communicate

with God. It is all about the intention and manner of which one uses this tool. In the case of the spirit of Python, the texts show us how people are able to channel foreign spirits in order to gain information about people and circumstances. In the end there is usually a high price to pay for this information. 

Through manipulation and deception they cause the person to seek a corrupted way of gaining or foreseeing spiritual knowledge. Some types of ways they do this is through fortune-telling, astrology, witchcraft, tarot cards, and spell-casting.

10. Spirit of Slumber 

Definition: a state of spiritual apathy or inattention, where individuals are neglecting their responsibilities or duties. 

Sleep: A more general term referring to a state of rest and unconsciousness. Slumber: A lighter, more dozy state of sleep, or a metaphorical state of spiritual inactivity. 

Romans 11:8 According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this day. 

      Mark 13:35-36 

      35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at 

      midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

      36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.     

      1 Thessalonians 5:6-7

      6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 

      7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

      Ephesians 5:14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and  

      Christ shall give thee light.

 

     This is a foul demon spirit that causes once on fire Christians to become apathetic and       

     compromising in their walk with Jesus Christ. They lose interest in reading His word and  

     spending time with Father God and Him. These are some of those who allow the cares of the  

     world to choke out the words of life and truth that they had earlier received.

    Additional verses: (Proverbs 6:4-11; Jeremiah 51:37-39)

 

     11. Spirit of Error 

Definition: Causes people to go into error or to the extreme end [especially] in things pertaining to God. This spirit is the exact opposite of the Spirit of truth and is of the kingdom of darkness. Deceit, to deceive, delusion. 

1 John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

 

The spirit of error refers to someone who is being led away into strange doctrine contrary to what has already been established by the apostles. These would be divers and strange doctrines of devils. (1 Timothy 4:1; Hebrews 13:9)In many cases, this is speaking about straying away from what Paul calls the simplicity of the gospel. Many people who are called into the deep waters of the mysteries of God soon find themselves like Peter. Once they step foot off of the boat, they find themselves sinking in unbelief and trying to rationalize their faith and doubts. This is not a bad thing, it is a part of the process. The way to make sure that you don’t sink is to simply do what Peter did while sinking in the ocean of despair. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Do not forsake your first love. Let everything that you do and everything that you share be fueled by the fire of that first love of Christ Jesus. This is what it means to guard your heart. This is also what Paul is referring to in the book of Galatians when he says, “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you not to obey the truth.” The word bewitched used here means “to fascinate (by false representations)”. Many well-meaning people have itching ears and have been led off of the boat only to drown in the sea of forgetfulness. 

Spirit of Error 

• Error • Unsubmissive • False doctrines • False religions • Cults • Unteachable • New Age Movement • Servant of Corruption 

12. Spirit of Bondage (Spiritual Stronghold) 

Definition: refers to the condition of people afflicted by a demonic entity to the degree that they lose some degree of their freedom to function normally; refers to a state of being held captive or enslaved, either physically or spiritually. It can describe physical slavery, like that experienced by the Israelites in Egypt, or spiritual bondage, where individuals are enslaved by sin and unable to break free on their own. The Bible also uses bondage to illustrate the restraints of the Law and the yoke of ceremonial observances, contrasting it with the freedom found in Christ. 

Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father 

John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 

These demons will cause us to erect a wall between us and our Savior through rebellion, ignorance, deceit, or otherwise. Then the enemy can inhabit it. Since God is light, any walls we build in our minds cast a shadow on our souls, creating a dark place that becomes a natural habitat for sin, lies, and /or demons to thrive. Through trickery and deception the kingdom of darkness will cause us to give him a dark place to set up shop, and we foolishly oblige them. A spiritual stronghold, then, is a form of spiritual bondage. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5) A spiritual stronghold is place of darkness, sin and lies in us that we defend against God. What is spiritual bondage? The result of giving the devil that place to exercise power over us. Even in cases of extreme spiritual bondage, the devil can’t override our free will. When a demon has control, it’s because they’ve been given control in the form of a spiritual stronghold.This is actually formed by an agreement known or hidden.

Most people don’t give Satan control or create a spiritual stronghold on purpose; it happens without them realizing they’re doing it. We give him control by giving him power, and that power over us is the essence of spiritual bondage. The main 4 ways are through believing lies, choosing to sin, through giving in to fear. (The devil is the fear-monger. So what is spiritual bondage? Spiritual bondage is giving Satan a measure of control (a spiritual stronghold) and living under that control.) and trauma. Many people who have demonic infestations or or suffer from demonic oppression have experienced painful moments when the enemy gained access. It is possible to give the devil power over us to the point where his thoughts are woven into our own, so that he is able to “set up shop” in our hearts and exercise a form of rule there.One such example is Annanias and Sapphira in Acts, chapter 5. Their hearts were “filled” with Satan just as Peter’s was “filled with the Spirit.” That’s a spiritual stronghold. We have the power to tear all strongholds down in Jesus Christ’s Name. (2 Corinthians 10:3-4)

Familiar Spirits

Definition: A spirit that has been with one's family in previous generations i.e. Generational Curse (ventriloquist, as from a jar): – bottle; demonic spirits that communicate with people through mediums or mediums who are claiming to communicate with the dead. The term "familiar" implies a close, trusting, and possibly even familial relationship between the spirit and the medium, suggesting the spirit is readily available and obedient. 

1 Samuel 28:3; 7-8 

3 And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land. 7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor. 

8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee. 

 

The familiar spirit is a spirit who tries to entice men with secrets. Bringing with it the spirit of err, the familiar spirit will entice a person to consult with demonic and unclean spirits through divination and soothsaying in order to get privy information that should come straight from the Father. The spirit knows that men and women thirst for knowledge and the spirit beckons to share it with others for a small fee, yet the price is never worth the consequence of the knowledge. Many new agers practice forms of channeling in which they open themselves up to familiar spirits and allow an entity to speak through them. In Wicca, this spirit is embodied within a spirit animal, which is why black cats are usually kept by practicing witches. Being with a family lineage for generations, this spirit also works to bring the sins of the fathers back unto the children, forming generational curses. The Bible strongly condemns engaging with or consulting such spirits, viewing them as an abomination and a deviation from seeking guidance from God.

13. Spirit of Infirmity 

Definition: feebleness (of body or mind); by implication malady; moral frailty: – disease, infirmity, sickness, weakness” 

Luke 13:11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 

The spirit of infirmity is a spirit of sickness and disease. Jesus knew this and thus knew that mental disorders and ailments usually stemmed from forms of demonic influence. This is why Jesus walked in authority, cleansing people vexed with spirits of infirmities. When a person is vexed with unclean spirits, it can lead to them having hypochondria. This is where the spirits will tell the person that they have many infirmities that they do not really have. This leads to worry and anxiety and will cause health and mental breakdowns.The spirit of infirmity itself refers to a condition, often described as a demon-like influence, that causes physical or mental weakness, illness, or disability. The term suggests that these debilitating states may be caused by a spirit, often an evil spirit, that actively harms or oppresses individuals. 

Leviticus 19:31; 20:6; 27

14. Spirit of Jealousy

Definition: Human jealousy, on the other hand, is often associated with envy and resentment. It can involve a desire for what others have or a suspicion of their actions. The Bible warns against this type of jealousy, which can lead to conflict, bitterness, and other negative outcomes. 

Numbers 5:14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled: 

Proverbs 6:34-35 

34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. 

Jealousy can involve a fear of losing what one has or desires, while envy focuses on wanting what others possess. The spirit of jealousy can cause jealous resentment against a rival, a person enjoying success or advantage, such like, or against another's success or advantage itself. It can cause mental uneasiness from suspicion or fear of rivalry, unfaithfulness, and such like, as in love or aims. It causes possessiveness to the point of obsession with vigilance in maintaining or guarding something. This spirit manipulates your thoughts, feelings, disposition, state, or mood. 

Example of a statue of jealousy being charmed by a spirit to cause jealousy. 

Ezekiel 8:3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.

Definition: To practice deceit, falsehood, and treachery either by word or action. It is the exact opposite of truth. 

1 Kings 22:21-23 

21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. 22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. 

23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee. 

In this we see this spirit has the ability to be a lying spirit so most likely he is a specialist in the field of lying. Most demons are identified according to their nature and abilities.

16. Spirit of Deep Sleep 

Definition: Deepest state of sleeping. 

Isaiah 29:10 For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. 

      

The spirit of deep sleep also called a spirit of slumber ( Isaiah 29:10) was sent directly from Father God to close the eyes of the prophets and seers. In this aspect it operates in some divine confusion or causing the mind to misunderstand. The deep sleep is not a natural state but is specifically caused by God, often in situations of great significance. It's described as a state of unconsciousness, a "trance," rather than just a deep slumber. The individual in deep sleep is receptive to divine revelation or instruction. 

Romans 11:8 According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this day. 

The spirit of slumber was used by God upon the ones who were well learned and well-studied in the wisdom of books and universities. This spirit prevented them from understanding the mysteries of God, because it is spiritually discerned and isn’t something one can learn from a book. On the contrary, the mysteries of God are to be experienced through the living word of God and taught to us by the Holy Ghost Spirit. The Word of God lets us know that it has been made impossible for those who are learned to understand the wisdom of the scriptures. 1 Corinthians 1:27-28 states that, “27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:” We also see this when Jesus chose his disciples from a group of men who were unlearned and rough around the edges. God does this so that we cannot boast in our own understanding and studies. He bids all men to come unto Him and learn and He alone will reveal unto them the things that cannot be fathomed by mortal men, the secrets of Heaven. 

17. Seducing spirits 

Definition: attract (someone) to a belief or into a course of action that is inadvisable or foolhardy. These work under all the strongmen. 

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

 

They are responsible for enticing someone away from God or from a virtuous path, often through false promises or deceptive practices. It can involve leading someone into sin, abandoning godly principles, or promoting harmful beliefs. It can also specifically refer to the act of enticing someone into unlawful sexual intercourse through demonic suggestions and thoughts. Don’t feel you can associate with seducing spirits and not be affected. By listening to the devils of seduction, listening to people who have them, you may take on those same spirits. In the second and third chapters of Revelation, Jesus tells us seven different times to listen to what the Spirit is saying. Seducing spirits work like maggots; they leech onto the mind as fast as they can, preventing people from looking for the truth, from taking everything to the Word of God. 

Other signs of seducing spirits: unforgiveness, anger, hate, gossip. 

(If you are a gossiper and don’t repent, and if you continue to gossip soon it will be where the devil makes you feel justified. By yielding to lies and gossip, you yield to that which destroys. The spirit in the voice of the gossiper is seducing you, making you think the person talking to you would never mislead you. You don’t bother to check what the person is saying with the truth, with the Word of God to see if it stands the Word test. You are beguiled and deceived—seduced. In other words, you are abducted, kidnapped mentally from the truth and brainwashed by seducing spirits.) 

 

Seducing spirits channel minds into false doctrine, into fault-finding. They will cause people to be dissatisfied about everything. It causes people to be critical about what they think is wrong with God’s work, disagree with preaching that warns of the judgments of God or warns about anything that interferes with what they want to do. They are seduced; if not, they would want the Gospel preached in all its truth. They don’t realize that seducing spirits have taken them over. Seducing spirits are at work in those who delight in having power over others, who are strong, pushy, seeking to control. Those who have been seduced become intense, elbowing their way in on people to tell them what to do. They don’t deal in love because they don’t have it. They don’t deal with the Holy Spirit because they don’t have Him. Deceived by seducing devils, they are in grave danger. Hate is there, but they claim it’s love, that their eyes have been opened. Their eyes are not open to truth because they are not in truth. There is no way to live in the truth without living in God’s love. God’s love does not try to cram ideas down people’s throats. Those with seducing spirits are jealous of God’s true work, of the Gospel wall of love to the nations that is being built. 

 

People with seducing spirits would like you to believe that those who know the truth are bound. The ones taken over by seducing spirits are the ones who are bound and don’t know it. When you are free, you live, walk, love in the truth. You have the plan of God to win lost souls in this hour. Daily in the hearts of the true children of God, the Lord confirms His plan of taking this Gospel to the nations. 

18. Spirit of Death 

Definition: The deliberate taking of one’s own life, a rare occurrence in Scripture. 

Works with the spirit of suicide, depression and mental attacks.

Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

• Suicidal thoughts suicide attempts • Selfishness • Self- Assassination • Murder • Guilt • defeat • Failure • Defiance • Hate (of self) • Grief • Pain • Fear of Judgment • Depression • Manipulation • Twisting of Thoughts • Traumatic and/or untimely death of a loved one • Traumatic near-death experience • Prolonged and life-threatening sickness/Infirmity • Harboring a deathwish • Fascination with death • Having an abortion • Fear • Occult involvement 

Related Scripture: Exodus 20:13, 1 Samuel 31:4, 2 Samuel 17:23, 1 Kings 16:8, Matthew 27:3-5, Acts 16:27 

This is a spirit that seeks to bring terminal sickness, premature death, or tormenting fear of death. It works together with the spirit of infirmity to increase the affliction in a person’s life. Suicide is a hopeless response to problems in life that fails to embrace the change that God provides. These types of demons will torment your mind with guilt, depression, loss of self worth, hopelessness, self loathing, despair, hopelessness and such like to cause you to break Father God’s commandment, “Thou shalt not kill,” found in Exodus 20:13. The word kill in this verse is Strong’s 7523 rāṣaḥ means to murder or slay (Premeditated). This evil demon through other demons will cause a person’s loss of public respect, damage to one’s reputation, manipulate your mind to make choices that have severe consequences like divorce, romantic separation, investment losses, credit loss, job loss, academic failure, professional collapse or something similar. By this the enemy causes the increase of the temptations to commit suicide. 

Other Enemy Spirits Mentioned In the Word of God 

19. Unclean Spirits 

Definition: Impure, morally (lewd) or specifically (Devil)): – foul, unclean. (See Foul Spirit Mentioned Above) 

Mark 1:26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 

20. Evil spirit 

Definition: a malevolent presence; often referred to as unclean spirits or demons in the Bible, are supernatural beings that oppose God and His purposes. They are frequently depicted as malevolent entities that seek to influence, harm humans and lead them away from God's truth and into sin. They have the ability to possess people. 

1 Samuel 16:14 But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.

1 Samuel 18:10 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.
