We’ll be discussing the topic “Demonic Activities Versus Fleshly Lust in Marriage” in our devotional for couples today

In several counselling sessions I have been privileged to be in with my husband, I have heard cases that are so difficult to resolve.

Now, after a few years of marriage, I have come to realize that some of those messy scenarios have their foundations in demonic influences.

We need to be conscious of this so that it helps us to effectively address issues well.
We need to establish the fact that the devil HATES marriage. He loathes it with a perfect hatred. A good marriage irritates him and infuriates him. He is not just a nuisance but an enemy of your marriage and mine.

Having an understanding of who our enemy is, it becomes easier for us to properly wage war against our enemy.

Most of the issues or problems we face in marriage are due to demonic influences. I pray that God will open the eyes of our understanding today to recognize who the real enemy is.

There is the flesh that we all must see to it that we crucify.
For example, a choleric husband can be given to anger. He sees himself always getting angry. It could be his flesh. All he has to do is crucify or mortify his flesh. If he doesn’t do that, his marriage will suffer for it.

And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Galatians 5:24 KJV

On the other hand are the activities of the devil through demonic influence or evil spirit. The aim of these spirits is to torment and torture us as married couples. They also don’t want is to know or serve the Lord effectively.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10 KJV

The abundant life Jesus came to give us, they want to make sure it is a mirage.

For example, anger becomes demonic when demons or evil spirit makes one angry at every provocation in an uncontrollable and harmful way.

In marriage, your spouse will do things that you don’t like. The devil torments and doesn’t make you enjoy your marriage when there is a spirit of anger.

Some of the emotional or attitudinal issues we experience are the activities of the evil spirits. For example, most depression, fear, rejection, sicknesses, selfishness, etc.

What we need to do to these evil spirits is to cast them out. Cast them out of our marriages and life

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. Luke 10:19 KJV

I will continue tomorrow by God’s grace.

God bless your marriage.
