In my dealing with spiritual phenomena, I find that when one surrenders his will power to any evil, that thing comes to possess him. He becomes a slave to it. He cannot do as he wishes anymore, but must obey that particular evil. (Rom. 6:16.)
No doubt one of these evils is adultery. If a person gives his mind constantly to moral abuse and immoralities, a spirit enters and drives him into deep sin. He often says and does things against his will because of the strength of this evil which has come to possess him.
In such a case of possession, the only way this person can be set free is for the minister of God to use Christ's authority and power to exorcise this unclean spirit.
A terrible result of such an evil taking hold upon a person is that it becomes a doorkeeper to his soul and spirit. It can now bring other evil spirits into that life. For example, a person can surrender to stealing and become a kleptomaniac. He will steal impulsively, even though he does not need what he takes. This spirit becomes a doorkeeper spirit in that soul. It can permit the spirit of lying to come in. When that happens, the person will impulsively lie about anything, even when the truth would sound better.
Jesus taught this truth in Luke 11:24-26 when He said that the evil spirit which was cast out from a man found no rest. It wandered in dry places. When it returned, it found the house (the man's soul) swept, garnished, and empty. This spirit reoccupied this man, bringing with it seven more demons who were even more evil than itself.
Christ said that the last state of that man was worse than before he was delivered of the demon spirit. This simply means that a person who submits to evil such as adultery lays himself open to receive other evils that the devil wishes to place upon him. By all means, we must keep ourselves free from all the devil's power!
