Introduction Among the deeply ingrained bitter roots within a person, the most persistent and difficult to eradicate is the "spirit of adultery." This is because the spirit of adultery, along with the "spirit of pride," is an evil spirit that cannot be completely eradicated, no matter how much one repents. In other words, no matter how much one repents, the spirit of adultery remains in our bodies at least 1%. Therefore, we must not take the sin of adultery lightly. We must understand that even with repentance, this sin requires a tremendous amount of time and effort compared to other sins. This is because, unlike other sins, the sin of fornication directly harms one's own body. So, why does fornication arise, and what are the consequences of continuing to engage in fornication? Let's examine how we can eliminate this spirit of fornication. 2. What is the sin of fornication, and why is it more serious than other sins? ... 3. What are the consequences of neglecting the sin of fornication? ... 4. Why do people indulge in the sin of fornication? So, why do people indulge in the sin of fornication? There are two reasons. First, humans have a fundamental desire to procreate, but they have failed to control their excessive desires. In fact, if a person lacks sexual desire, they are not considered human. This is because, after creating humans, God commanded them to "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28). Therefore, sexual desire is essential for the preservation of the species. However, problems arise when this desire crosses the line and becomes excessive. This is because seeking excessive sexual satisfaction can lead to falling into the devil's trap. Therefore, as holy children of God, we must pay special attention to what we see, what we touch, and where we go. The spirit of lewdness enters through the eyes, the mind, the male genitals, and the womb. Therefore, we must first be careful about what we see. We should avoid watching pornographic films or dramas. We should also avoid having lewd thoughts, for even imagining can infiltrate the spirit of lewdness. In particular, we should avoid contact with lewd people who enjoy lewd conversation. We should also avoid places inhabited by lewd spirits. And we should not engage in lewd acts, for in such cases, the spirit of lewdness can infiltrate us. Second, the second reason people indulge in lewdness is because they have inherited the spirit of lewdness. We become lewd because we have inherited the spirit of lewdness that has been at work in us since our parents or ancestors, even though we did not want it. So who are the ones who pass on the spirit of lewdness the most? It is our parents. Rather than a happy marriage, it could be because the couple is possessed by a spirit of lust. If someone demands sex daily, there's a significant chance that the spirit of lust is prevalent. This can have a profound impact on children. Therefore, if a spouse fails to satisfy sexually, they will most likely choose divorce. This is why they remarry. Therefore, if a family experiences repeated divorces and remarriages, it's important to understand that the spirit of lust is prevalent in that family. Furthermore, it's important to understand that spirits of lust are often inherited if a family has a shaman among its ancestors. This is because shamans are often possessed of a significant number of spirits of lust. This is because the evil spirits they serve appear as members of the opposite sex and demand sexual intimacy, and whenever the shaman complies, the spirit of lust infiltrates. Therefore, those who claim to have a shaman in their family should be especially cautious about committing the sin of lust. 5. How can we remove the bitter root of the spirit of lust? So how can I rid myself of the bitter root of the spirit of fornication? The bitter root of the spirit of fornication is actually embedded in my body for two reasons. One is the excessive and excessive pursuit of basic human sexual desires, crossing the line and becoming abnormal. The other is the inheritance of the spirit of fornication from my ancestors. However, the latter is far more likely. In other words, it's far more likely that I become fornicated because I inherited the spirit of fornication than because I'm fornicating. So how can I rid myself of this bitter root of the spirit of fornication? First, it's crucial to avoid sexually suggestive environments. Watching pornographic films or dramas, being with sexually suggestive people, or being in sexually suggestive places naturally invites the spirit of fornication to attack my thoughts. Therefore, seek out bright, open spaces, not dark ones. Avoid associating with people who indulge ...
