Ok seriously guys? For the most part I have seen counter productive responses, what she is going is going through is an actual mental sickness or perhaps you could call it a disorder it generally comes form a number of things that have impacted a person mentally but it is not a demonic spirit and she needs help in overcoming this not being told what she already knows and certainly not being told she has a demonic spirit.
This kind of disorder can be from past abuse mentally physically and emotionally it also is known to frequent in people who are seeking something in their lives but have not quite found it and may even be unaware that they are seeking this in the people they are lusting after. It's also a mental sickness that can be caused by a number of things like immense stress and worry or a sense of extremely low self worth but it is not a demonic thing and she needs help in understanding why no matter how hard she tries she cannot stop and how to fix it.
This is the reason why many call themselves teachers when they are far from qualified to be one, they think they know what their talking about but are only causing damage

Hi Blain.
Im not "picking" or anything.
But... in your opinion... How exactly Do evil spirits operate?
Im not saying that "she" in particular has an evil spirit. I am trying to point out that we ALL are influenced by them. You , me...and Depleted here ..included ^^.
Or do u need to be floating in the air.... with your head spinning 360% in order to qualify?
Or do they simply not exist at all? ^^

Mental illness is man's method of explaining what's going on. She needs professional help from a qualified Christian counselor. Where is her pastor? Does she have a local church pastor to guide her?
She does not need excuses. I hope she is not here for excuses because that is all the internet will ever offer.
For the cause of Christ

Evil spirits tempt us yes I will not deny that but there is not just one ingredient in the bowl it also has to do with a mental issue not a special needs ones or anything but for people like this you have to help them in a certain way and telling them about demonic influence is not how you do this. You cannot go into a situation like this casually you have be very careful of what you say and how you say it you also have to take care in understanding what they need to hear and if it will help them to overcome it or not.
Even if demons were tempting her the main issue here is to help her to figure out the root cause of why she keeps going back to adultery and it often times is a psychological problem kind of like how even with the best kind of computer you will sometimes for some unknown reason find a glitch in the system.

Mental illness is a real, i have been called highly spiritual by several people and yet even I think this. This is because psychology is a fascinating subject to me and have even learn a lot about myself and why bi do the things I do from it. even a Christian counselor might think it's a mental illness because a counselor even a Christian one needs to be able to get into the persons head.
But isn't that where the battle with evil spirits is fought? In the Mind?
This, to me, is like a bunch of "elders" of the "village" saying something like "We KNOW there's poison in the well... which is the root cause of villagers getting sick. But lets not tell them about the poison in the well...rather... lets offer them medicine, to deal with the symptoms instead....so we can keep the same well, and not have to go through the trouble and effort of digging a completely new well....
Isn't adultery a spirit? (spirit of adultery?)....and, isn't psychology to do with the mind? Again, referring back to my first point...

#1. You should know that Jesus Christ is in you and is with you always since you had been saved for believing in Him.
Matthew 28:[SUP]18 [/SUP]And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.....[SUP]20 [/SUP]Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
2 Corinthians 13:[SUP]5 [/SUP]Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
#2. When dealing with wicked thoughts, and since Jesus is with you always, go to Him in prayer or in your thoughts.
Hebrews 4:[SUP]12 [/SUP]For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. [SUP]13 [/SUP]Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. [SUP]14 [/SUP]Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. [SUP]15 [/SUP]For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. [SUP]16 [/SUP]Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
#3. Trust Him as your Good Shepherd to help you put down wicked thoughts and think on good things above.
Psalm 19:[SUP]12 [/SUP]Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. [SUP]13 [/SUP]Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. [SUP]14 [/SUP]Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
1 John 3:[SUP]3 [/SUP]And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.....8[SUP]8 [/SUP]He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil
Romans 13:[SUP]13 [/SUP]Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. [SUP]14 [/SUP]But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
1 Corinthians 10:[SUP]12 [/SUP]Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. [SUP]13 [/SUP]There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Hebrews 2:[SUP]18 [/SUP]For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted
2 Corinthians 10:[SUP]4 [/SUP](For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; [SUP]6 [/SUP]And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Philippians 4:[SUP]6 [/SUP]Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. [SUP]7 [/SUP]And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. [SUP]8 [/SUP]Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. [SUP]9 [/SUP]Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Philippians 1:[SUP]6 [/SUP]Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:....[SUP]11 [/SUP]Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
2 Timothy 4:[SUP]18 [/SUP]And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen
Jude 1:[SUP]24 [/SUP]Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, [SUP]25 [/SUP]To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
I hope these verses will help you learn of Him more so He can enable you to trust Him to overcome for you to deliver you from your sin and to help you daily to keep you from that sin so that sin will no longer have dominion over your life.
So may this music video inspire you to hope in Him to help you overcome for He will do this for you so call on Him now.

W
You're kidding right? A woman in agonizing frustration? Seriously? She's screwing every guy she find attractive behind her faithful husbands back. Granted she atleast had the decency to let him know. And he STILL loves her and gives her a chance. But I bet you on the inside its this poor husband that is in agonizing frustration while his "poor" wife is getting her cookies. Oh but she doesn't know what she's doing right? Give me a break.
Let me say this as gently as I can.....
You need to lighten up, slick..... You are treading closely to ban territory with your angry and vulgar post. Cut it out.
Plus, you need to re-read the OP.. she has apparently only had one physical relationship, the others are just flirting, etc... Unless I misread it.
Either way, she is a repentant sinner looking for help/advice...
You are offering neither.
