2 Common Places the Enemy Curses
Vicki Goforth Parnell 7-3-25

 

Some information included is from Myles Monroe.  

 

Psalms 144:1 Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

Psalms 18:34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

 

Witches are strategic. They don't just curse people, they curse places. To think they only fight against you in the spiritual realm is dangerous. There are spiritual assignments attached to physical locations and the enemy is territorial. Witches operate through a principle called environmental manipulation. They understand that if they can charge a space with darkness, through chants, in rituals, deductions and altars to the enemy then they don't need to speak to you directly. 

 

The enemy marks regions, homes, bathrooms, cafes, sidewalks and such like with invisible signatures meant to pollute atmospheres, invite spiritual contamination, and snare unsuspecting souls. This is why so many people feel heavy when entering certain places, suddenly anxious, irritated, lustful, or confused for no apparent reason. Instead of only walking into a physical place, a room you unknowingly in the spiritual realm walked onto a battlefield. 

 

For example: That bathroom stall could have been turned into a demonic altar. Buying a second hand item that comes with a curse or is accursed allowing access into your life. Sitting in a chair, walking on that floor, or sleeping in a bed can unknowingly cause you to come into agreement with the spiritual atmosphere. That's how subtle it is. 

 

Remember the enemy is always trying to get you to come into agreement with them knowingly or unknowingly. They understand the legal rules for engagement in the spirit realm and the physical. The fallen ones and demons spirits are legalists. They wait for access points which can include places you visit without covering yourself first in prayer in the Name of Jesus Christ. It can be through places you linger without prayer, places you trust because they look normal. But just because a place looks clean, doesn't mean it's spiritually clean. Some of the most dangerous traps are invisible. This information is to make you aware of the enemy’s tactics, lest satan, the devil should have an advantage over you and defeat you on the battlefield. 

 

2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

 

This refers to more than just forgiveness.

 

Once you understand the battlefield, you can win the war through the power of Jesus  Christ’s Name. Once you identify how the enemy operates, curses places, locations, items, people and such like you can reclaim it for the kingdom through Jesus Christ who has called us to be overcomers in Him.

 

1 John 2:13-14

13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1 John 5:4For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Romans 12:20 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

 

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

 

Jesus Christ has given us all authority through Him to speak over land, over rooms, over cities, and such like and call His presence to dwell there. 

Joshua 1:3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

 

Deuteronomy 11:24-25

24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the Lord your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

Whether it’s spiritual or physical these are real battlefields, that affect real people. When you become spiritually alert, you don't just avoid the trap, you can destroy it by praying in Jesus Christ’s Name. Stand upon His Word knowing all of Heaven will back you when your life lines up with the Word and you’re living holy and consecrated to Father God and Him. Break the curses, traps, triggers, charms and such like and send the warfare back to the sender in the spirit realm. You have the authority. Being spiritually aware…meaning  using godly discernment can also cause your physical discernment and awareness of your surroundings to grow. This allows for less opportunity to fall into the enemy’s snares, traps, gins, scheme and trickery.  

 

Isaiah 55:11  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

 

Luke 10:19  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.

 

1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

 

Here are some common places that witches do their rituals, curses and such like, even dedicating the space and setting an altar therein to a demon or fallen angel. 

  1. The public bathrooms

This is a common place for them to do their woohoo wahoo witchcraft especially in certain restaurants or clubs, large stores like Walmart, even church bathrooms. They are one of the most overlooked yet spiritually dangerous locations that witches target for dark rituals & curses with most of these being of a territorial nature. 

 

To most people a bathroom is simply a place of necessity to relieve oneself, refresh or reapply makeup, adjust your clothing and wash your hands. But in the spirit realm, bathrooms are gateways. They are spaces of exposure, vulnerability and symbolic cleansing, which makes them prime real estate for demonic infiltration. Witches and occult practitioners understand something that many believers ignore. The bathroom is not just a physical room, it's a spiritual chamber. 

 

In places like restaurants, nightclubs, bars, or lounges where the atmosphere is already spiritually compromised through unclean music, sensual/suggestive and sexual energy, and excessive drinking, the bathrooms become secondary altars. Why? Because people enter them alone, uncovered, distracted, and exposed. They often carry emotions of shame, lust, intoxication, or confusion, making them spiritually wide open for spiritual attacks. What better place for a witch to drop a cursed item, conduct a silent ritual, or release a seducing spirit than a stall that sees hundreds of souls a night and yet is rarely prayed over.

PDF A Compilation of 12 Enemy’s Strongmen and Sub-Demons (Lesser)

Vicki Goforth Parnell updated 6-17-25

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. 

Other related verses: 

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. 

Strongman Fear Spirit (2 Timothy 1:7) 

• Torment • Anguish • Horror • Terror • Anxiety • Phobias • Inferiority • Compulsive Behavior • Tension • Stress • Timidity • Nightmares • Insomnia • Sense of Danger • Think the Worst • Heights • Ineptness • Fear • Dread • Apprehension • Tension • Headache • Nervous Habits • Restlessness • Roving • Self-awareness • Unfairness • Sensitiveness • Horror Movies • Lying • Heavy Anxieties• Doomsday Fears • Over Sensitive Nature • Worry About Everything • Heaviness • Envy • Suspicion • Distrust • Paranoia • Hysteria (all forms) • Deceit • Doubt • Irrational concerns • Inferiority complex • Bullying • Anorexia nervosa (Fear of weight gain) • Fear of: • Bathing • Heights • Man • Disapproval • Unfairness • Judgment • Condemnation • Accusation • Reproof • Other People • Going Outside • Sex • Talking • Eating • Driving • Intimacy • Relationships • Anything That is Important to Daily Survival • Women • God • Commitment • Success • Jesus Christ • Animals • Churches • Schools • Hereditary diseases • Government • Rules • Illness (Infirmities) • Cancer • Dark • High Blood Pressure • Diabetes • What You Might Say • Jealousy • Persecution • Confrontation • Authority • Death • And Such Like

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.

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.

8. Spirit of Antichrist 

Definition: One who is against Christ 

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. 

him. 

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.

A prayer concerning monitoring birds/animals/spirits
[Vicki Goforth Parnell]
Lord willing, If you will study what a fowler does then you will have
some understanding of what the kingdomof darkness’ monitoring
birds/animals and spirits do.
A fowler is a professional birdcatcher that studies his prey and
could take months before he ever launches an attack. Same for a
professional hunter.
The reason for this is that they’re gathering all the information as it
relates to their prey so that whenever they decide to launch their
highly calculated attack they will be successful at all attacks. This is
why the scripture clearly says that only God can deliver us from the
snare or trap of the Fowler. (Psalms 91:3)
Monitoring birds, monitoring animals andmonitoring spirits (also
known as familiar spirits at some instances) operate much like the
professional fowler and hunter but will also torment you in the
process.
Birds and spirits are more common than animals but all are deadly
enemies of a true Child of God. But there is power in Jesus Christ’s
name to defeat all power of the enemy nomatter what form they
choose to use. Hallelujah. Thank you sweet Jesus Christ.
Here is the prayer I have been led to share.
I ask you Jesus Christ in your holy name to hear and answer my prayer.
(John 14:14):
Father God in the Name of Jesus Christ, I thank You for givingme
authority over the dark kingdom. I thank You that whatever I bind here
on earth is bound in heaven and whatever I loose is loosed. (Matt. 18:18)
This day and forever, O LORD, I declare my authority over the devil, his
agents, satan and the whole kingdomof darkness in all existence known
to God, because he exists everywhere and in all things.
In the power of your name Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit fire, I
disconnect the demon’s power that will cut the silver cord/cords of the
person/person that gave them the ability to astral project into the
monitoring birds/animals to spy, monitor and/or to cause me harm (my
family & others). Now you are forever trapped inside the body of the
bird/animal you have projected yourself into never to return to your
dead body. I bind the demons in everlasting chains that were cut loose,
that were detached and throw them into the abyss and do all this in Jesus
Christ’s name.
In Jesus Christ’s name I now shoot an arrow of the Lord into the
monitoring bird’s/animal’s head and chest and command you/them to
die and for you/them return to the time of day where your/their covenant
was made with the kingdomof darkness allowing you/them to fully pass
away. This is whether it was made during sunlight or moonlight hours
with no ability of being revived. In doing this while trapped you/they will
not be able to further assist the kingdomof darkness by any means in all
existence known to God because He exists everywhere and in all things.
I cancel all covenants/agreements and such like things you/they made
with the kingdomof darkness for your/their spirit/spirits to ascend to an
astral plane or anywhere else after death so you cannot still cause havoc
or be summoned by evil to attack the Children of God in the authority of
Jesus Christ’s name.
From this point forward, I hereby bind and banish all evil messengers
andmonitoring spirits/animals/evil birds from lucifer, from satan and
the kingdomof darkness to the abyss that were assigned or will try to be
against my life/family/others and such like things in all existence known
to God because He exists everywhere and in all things. I also command
these types of spirits not to be sent against me/family/others while
standing on Luke 10:19; James 4:7; Luke 9:1-2 & Philippians 2:9-11 in
Jesus Christ’s name. I give you all my praise Jesus Christ in all things and
thank you for hearing and swearingmy prayers. (John 14:13)
Monitoring spirits can also be classed with familiar spirits and are
included in the prayer points.
Additional prayer points if you feel led to pray them.
Prayer points:
1. Every household (ancestral) evil bird/animal followingme from tree to
tree, or place to place I command you to die by the fire of God, in the
name of Jesus Christ.
2. Any witchcraft bird/animal or familiar (monitoring) spirit assigned to
torment my day and night, you die now by Holy Ghost fire, in Jesus
Christ's name.
3. Any problem that I ampassing through now that is caused by evil
birds, I ask for them to be judged in Heaven’s court and sentenced to
death or to receive heavy burdens and grievous torment as they are
bound and cast into outer darkness/the abyss in the name of Jesus Christ.
4. Blood of Jesus, separate my life and calling (destiny) from evil
monitoring birds/animals, in Jesus Christ’s name.
5. Every evil bird/animal or monitoring (familiar) spirit whisperingmy
name in any place known in all existence known to God because He exists

in all existence known to God because he exists everywhere, in Jesus
Christ's name.

glory, I command you to scatter unto desolation, in Jesus Christ's name.

Christ's name.

What does 1 Corinthians 11:5 mean about a woman’s head being covered?

5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

So many people today will not study this verse thoroughly or even study the whole content surrounding it in verses 1-16. Nor do they realize this appears to be actually referring to the men and women in a church setting…a service. In addition, this verse is not only concerning women that prophesy, but all women WHO PRAY!

There’s more to this than the obvious assumption. 2 Timothy 2:15 says 'Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.’

I will not be voicing an opinion but simply laying out what I have found in my studies and ask you to take all these things to Jesus Christ in prayer. Let’s begin at the beginning of 1 Corinthians 11 in Jesus Christ’s name. Verse 2 is where our lovely Jesus C

Christ first began showing me this understanding.

1 Corinthians 11:1-2.

1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

To understand the meaning of whether a woman should have her head covered or uncovered when she prays and speaks prophetically, I feel one must know what the key phrases mean in 1 Corinthians 11:4-6. The phrases ‘her head’ and the word ‘uncovered’ among others. The word head can be figurative or literal. Some teach that the phrase ‘her head’ refers only to the woman’s husband's authority over her. If she has a husband, then he is the head of his wife or her authority. I agree. Because the man is the ordained head of his house and Jesus Christ is over the man and the church. (Ephesians 5:22-25)

Definition of Ordinance: a piece of legislation enacted by a municipal authority; an authoritative order; a decree; a prescribed religious rite (rite means: a religious or other solemn ceremony or act: a body of customary observances characteristic of a Church or a part of it:)

Strong’s definition: G3862 =Greek word ‘paradosis’ which means: (concretely) a precept; specially, the Jewish traditionary law:—ordinance, tradition.

Paul in 1 Corinthians is addressing the Corinthian church and in chapter 11 among others in the Word of God appears to be talking about a church service, a gathering where the holy scriptures are shared and worship occurs in Jesus Christ’s name. We see when he tells us to keep the ordinances he delivers to them…to us, the ordinances according to the Strong’s definition appears to mean a precept. An order but in the tradition of their day. Now that this is understood Lord willing I will break down the verses for clarity and understanding in Jesus Christ’s name. Sweet Holy Spirit please teach us as John 14:26 says you will do.

Please remember as we start this that just as words today can mean different things in different circumstances, so does this occur in the translation of the Holy Bible and the Greek words themselves. To clarify I will be adding at times the Thayer’s Greek Lexicon information also, Lord willing. All this information can be found at the wwwblueletterbible.org site.

 

1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

The phrase ‘the head’ both times is the Greek word ‘kephalē’ Strong's number G2726 and means : literally or figuratively:—head. In this verse it means figuratively.

Thayer’s Greek Lexicon: of a husband in relation to his wife, 1 Corinthians 11:3; Ephesians 5:23; of Christ, the lord of the husband, 1 Corinthians 11:3 (cf. Buttmann, 124f (109)); of the church, Ephesians 4:15; Ephesians 5:23; Colossians 2:19)

To understand the meaning of whether a woman should have her head covered or uncovered when she prays and speaks prophetically, I feel one must know what the key phrases mean in 1 Corinthians 11:4-6. The phrases ‘her head’ and the word ‘uncovered’ among others. The word head can be figurative or literal. Some teach that the phrase ‘her head’ refers only to the woman’s husband's authority over her. If she has a husband, then he is the head of his wife or her authority. I agree. Because the man is the ordained head of his house and Jesus Christ is over the man and the church. (Ephesians 5:22-25)

But in this instance it appears in 1 Corinthians 11:4-6 this is not the English equivalent of the Greek word used here. I have found the Greek word for “head” is kephale and is the normal Greek word for the anatomical head that is supported by a person’s neck.

There are times in the Word of God the word kephale is used to refer to the chief or head cornerstone (Ps. 118:22, etc.) and a few times I have found so far that it refers to someone’s hair. (1 Corinthians 11:5; Mat 10:30, etc.) Otherwise, the word is used 69 times to refer to the anatomical “head” or “heads” in the New Testament.(Mat 5:36;26:7; Act 18:18;Rom 12:20; 1Co 12:21; Rev 1:14; 9:17, etc.) That is, “her head” does not refer to her husband but to her own physical head in 1 Corinthians 5-6). Paul is discussing a woman covering her physical head…. her hair!

 

1 Corinthians 11:4-6

4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovvered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

 

In verse 4 the Greek word head is the Greek word ‘kephalē’ also. It’s Strong's number G2726 .

Strong’s definition : literally or figuratively:—head.

In verse 5 in the Greek it’s the phrase ‘with [her] head and is the same Greek word ‘kephalē’ Strong's number G2726 and same usage as verse 4 which means : literally or figuratively:—head.

 

Thayer's Greek Lexicon: the head, both of men and often; and of animals in these verses: Matthew 5:36; Mark 6:24; Luke 7:38, 44 (Rec.),46; John 13:9; Acts 18:18; 1 Corinthians 11:4; Revelation 1:14; Revelation 4:4, and often; and of animals: Revelation 9:7, 17, 19, etc.;)

In verse 5 the word dishonoureth is the Greek word ‘kataischynō ‘ G2617.

Strong’s definition: to shame down, i.e. disgrace or (by implication) put to the blush:—confound, dishonour, (be a-, make a-)shame(-d).

 

Thayer’s Greek Lexicon: to dishonor, disgrace: found in 1 Corinthians 11:5.

The word uncovered is the Greek word akatakalyptos Strong’s number G177.

 

Strong’s definition: uncovered-unveiled

 

Thayer’s Greek Lexicon: not covered, unveiled:

 

1 Corinthians 11:5; 13. The phrase ‘she were shaven’ is the Greek word xyraō Strong’s number G3587 which is a derivative of the Greek word xylon (G3586)

 

Strong’s definition: (meaning a razor); to shave or "shear" the hair:—shave.

 

6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

 

The word shorn in verse 6 is the Greek word keirō and is Strong’s number G2751. Strong’s definition: to shear:—shear(-er).

Thayer’s Greek Lexicon: absolutely, of shearing or cutting short the hair of the head, 1 Corinthians 11:6

 

One can see from 1 Corinthians 11:5 that Paul is concerned about women whose heads are bald or shaved since he says, “with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.” It is also important to notice that in verse 6 the Greek word that is translated as “cut off” is keirō which means “to shear or cut off.”

 

We also see in Acts 8:32 the Greek word keirō is used of a “shearer” of a lamb. A shearer completely removes all of the lamb’s “hair.” Also, in verse 6 the Greek word for ‘shaved’ is xyraō. The word is a derivative, meaning it comes from the word xylon which means a ‘razor.’ In ancient times a razor was used to trim beards. By comparing these 2 Greek words and their meanings keiro with xyrao we discover that Paul is referring to a woman’s hair that has been completely cut off, as one shears sheep or her hair that has been cut and shortened by a razor. Now let’s jump down, Lord willing to 1 Corinthians 11: 15.

In 1 Corinthians 11:15, Paul says that a woman’s long hair is the covering that God has given her and should be worn long.

 

15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

 

The Greek word for glory is doxa Strongs number G1391.

 

Strong’s definition: glory (as very apparent), in a wide application (literal or figurative, objective or subjective):—dignity, glory(-ious), honour, praise, worship.

 

Thayer’s Greek Lexicon:to be a glory, ornament, to one, 1 Corinthians 11:15;

 

In verse 15 the phrase ‘have long hair’ is the Greek word komaō. Strong’s definition: to wear tresses of hair:—have long hair.

 

Thayer’s Greek Lexicon to let the hair grow, have long hair:

 

1 Corinthians 11:14 A woman’s long hair is her glory….her dignity…her honor. Therefore, Paul’s reference to uncovered women’s heads being a dishonor or a shame to them appears to refer to hair that is very short or bald. This is supported by the Greek word for ‘long hair’ in verse 15 which is komaō. This word refers to hair that is long and not cut short.

This would also mean that Paul is encouraging all the women to show submission by wearing their hair long, that her long hair is her covering. [verses 4, 5, 6] If the glory and honor is the woman’s hair and it’s called their covering, it appears the dishonorment, the shame and the uncovering of the woman’s hair mentioned in verse 5 is in the cutting of her long hair or shaving her head. This also appears to mean a woman should not have her hair cut short as men typically wear their hair. What the typical hair length was for a man in biblical days I do not know. That would be for another study Lord willing.

 

Paul’s discussion continues until verse 16 in 1 Corinthians chapter 11. In this last verse he makes an important statement that this is a universal and divine principle that all of the churches are to follow.

 

16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. This means in my understanding, if anyone wants to be contentious (argumentative), they are arguing against this common practice among the churches. The fact that Paul is saying, “All of the other churches are following this custom or habit.”

 

Let me say this, I have been in mighty services of God when the Holy Spirit would be moving and a prophetic word would come forth from men and women alike because God has no respect of persons. (Romans 2:11) Not once did I witness a woman under the power of the Holy Spirit stop to cover her head before the holy word came forth and these words given under the power of the Holy Spirit that ‘did’ prove true at a later time. At other times, in the church I grew up in, the women and men would gather at the altar and aid in praying for a lost soul to be saved and that person would accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior…with the women’s heads uncovered and without a veil. Not to mention praying for someone to be healed..and they were healed! So, you be the judge. We are to watch the fruit of each person’s life. (Matthew 7:16-23)

In the end we are all equal in our God’s eyes, but the male and female bodies have some differences in our creation because the woman was taken out of the man’s ribs. But when we are called to work for our lovely Jesus Christ…. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28 Please pray about all this information and ask Jesus Christ to reveal his truth to you.

 

Thank you and God bless.

POWER AGAINST SEXUAL, PERVERSION 

Prayer Rain by D.K. Olukoya

POWER AGAINST SEXUAL, PERVERSION 

Prayer Rain by D.K. Olukoya PDF HERE. 

Romans 6:14 

 

Sexual sins open the doors for all kinds of evil spirits to enter. This prayer program is for those: 

 

Who would like to be delivered from the spiritual contamination resulting from past sexual sins. 

Who would like to be delivered from their present sexual lusts, enticement, and other sexual sins. 

Who would like to expel sexual satanic deposits acquired by sleeping with demonized people. 

Who had been a commercial sex worker in the past. 

Who frequently dream of having sex. 

 

Don't despair if the enemy has subjected you to such a depth of immoral degradation. You would be lifted up to the height of purity which God has purposed for you as you call upon Him to help you. 

 

Rom. 1:22: "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." Please, open your Bible and slowly, meditatively read Rom. 1:18-32 and Leviticus 18:l-30. 

 

Are you surprised at the things you've just read? Indeed there is nothing new under the sun! (Ecclesiastes 1:9) Basically the laws of God concerning sexual perversion as stated in Leviticus 18 can be divided into 5 groups. They are laws against

 -incest (i.e. having sex with close relatives, brothers, in law's, uncles etc., there are 20 categories of close relatives stated between verses 6 and 19) -adultery (vs 20) 

-idolatry i.e. offering child sacrifices (vs 21) 

-homosexuality, lesbianism, masturbation, prostitution etc (vs 22) 

-bestiality (having sex with animals (vs 23) 

 

Are you caught in the bondage of any of these? Indeed the chains of habit (perversion) are too weak to be felt till they are too strong to be broken. All kinds of sexual bondage can be broken through the power of the blood of Jesus. 

 

There is hope for you, the Bible says, "Sin shall not have dominion over you" (Rom. 6:14) because "The law of Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death" (Rom 8:2). As you pray sincerely with a contrite/repentant heart (Psalm 51:17) God will set you free from the chains of sexual perversion. 

 

CONFESSION 

 

Gal. 5:24: And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
