SID: There is an insidious thing called toxic emotions and another called seducing spirits. Explain them briefly, Dennis.
DENNIS: Seducing spirits, God literally took me to the school of the spirit on it. I was seeing people that were willing to deal and quite easily deal effectively with soul ties but I learned as much from even the ones that refused ministry. Had a woman who refused ministry because she had some strange reasons why she didn’t want to deal with lustful issues. She was married to an unbeliever. I think that was part of her excuse and some pastor sent me another man from another city and likewise. He refused to deal with his marital— He said, “I don’t care why they sent me here.” I said, “I’m fine.” I said, “Okay.” I didn’t know what the Lord had in it. These people were from two different cities far away. I went to a Christian banquet dinner.
Man: Hi. You look very familiar.
DENNIS: 400 people in attendance and I watched walk in the door these two people who didn’t know each other, made a B line for each other and God said, “That is a seducing spirit. That’s that invisible umbilical cord that both of them have wide open doors in their life and they attract each other and it made me very conscious that these seducing spirits are purposely trying to sabotage people’s destiny by getting them in the wrong relationships and in most cases, these were highly gifted people.
SID: That’s what I have noticed. It’s almost like the devil wants to sabotage them before they walk into their destiny.
DENNIS: But if they would have opened up and said, “Do you realize that there are lustful issues here?” You drop down in your spirit and if you can feel that kind of unnatural titillation, excitement, call it what you will, craving and you won’t deal with it, then it’s going to deal with you.
SID: But there are other toxic emotions like, what?
DENNIS: Hurt.
JENNIFER: Fear is the big one.
DENNIS: Fear is a big one. Lust, anger, guilt, shame. We call them the basic hell flags of emotions.
JENNIFER: Yeah, because those are the devil’s playground.
DENNIS: It’s not sin in and of themselves, but when you feel any of those and stay there, you are an open candidate for the enemy. That’s his playground. That’s where he plants his flags. You stay in any toxic emotion long enough, you sin. In that sin, you are giving legal access to demonic activity, wrong relationships and we tested this with believers even. We had a young man that said, “My wife keeps telling me that I have an unhealthy relationship with a woman at work. I don’t believe that. There’s nothing sexual.” So, we said, “Well, test your own spirit. Close your eyes. Put your hand down on your belly and picture that woman at work.” He went, “Whoa.” He felt an excitement that he knew was unclean. So, we don’t even use the word lust and love because our society–
SID: Again, if you pray properly and pray out of your spirit, which we’re going to teach you shortly, there’s really hope in these areas?
DENNIS: Oh absolutely.
SID: It’s not just will power?
DENNIS: No.
JENNIFER: He was set free in a matter of seconds after.
SID: Seconds.
DENNIS: Seconds. He was set free in seconds.
SID: You talk about how to get rid of cravings and not just shame.
DENNIS: Yeah.
SID: What’s the difference between shame and cravings?
DENNIS: Shame can be what we would call a remorse conscious. Just like guilt. Remorse conscious means it’s after the fact. I want to go to the open door where the craving came in. Temptation has to have the hook or you wouldn’t do it. Nobody wants to feel guilty or ashamed or fearful but they do like the feeling of excitement. They do like the feeling of the attraction or it starts out innocent. Oh, I’m just having a good time but that’s the point of entry to where you give the enemy a foothold. So, we say let’s cleanse that area out and you’ll be free. How do you know you’re free? Peace.
SID: Pray for people.
DENNIS: Right now. There are plenty of people right there to say I’m identifying with some aspect, whether it’s a person, place or thing. But I want you to go to the Jesus in you. The Jesus down in your heart and when you think of that person, place or thing, that every thought has a corresponding emotion and if that emotion is something of a craving, I want to deal with it. If you feel guilty or ashamed, you receive forgiveness for that, but I want the craving. I want that part of you that feels like I have to have it and I want you to let Jesus the forgiver in you, I want you to receive it just like salvation. I receive it as a gift. I receive forgiveness down in my heart until it changes to peace.
DENNIS: It will be instant. When it changes to peace, then you can out loud say, “I renounce that craving. It has no power over me and my emotions belong to God.” Because the emotions were the gateway. My emotions belong to God. I was bought with a price. My will and emotions belong to God and I am free. There’s many people getting free of things right now in just a matter of seconds because it’s the Jesus the deliverer in you and the forgiver in you that’s dealing with the place where it entered in. That place of lust, craving, want, need, excitement. You call it whatever you want, but when that changes to peace, you had a supernatural exchange and you’re free.
SID: You may say he went just a little too fast for me. That’s why we’re going to right after this show, teach you the how-tos step by step with a special mentoring session on our ISN network. I want them to equip you on how to hear and pray from your spirit. Few believers understand this. Log on to sidroth.org to watch.
