Evil desire can give way to demonic oppression. In our previous discussion, I talked about how men can simply be evil because their hearts are corrupt. But if they remain unrepentent, these “evil desires” can escalate… opening the door to greater evil.
It is for this reason that we, as believers, must be quick to repent, to forgive, to let go of offense, to denounce the fruit of the flesh, to let go of spiritual immaturity, etc. IT IS EASY TO MOVE FROM HAVING AN EVIL THOUGHT OR ENGAGE IN IN EVIL BEHAVIOR DIRECTLY INTO PLACES OF SERIOUS DEMONIC OPPRESSION AND AFFLICTION. God tells us clearly to be ANGRY… but sin not. We have thoughts and emotions that are negative; but we MUST NOT allow those thoughts or emotions to LIVE, thrive or be acted out… even in our scribal ministries.
