Deliverance from Demons of Lust Has Transformed My Life! By Yousef Shaloufe

After hearing Mark Virkler teach on the flow of the Holy Spirit and the flow of demonic spirits, I discerned that I was under attack of demons of lust, sensuality and a demon of pain which was causing my headaches.

So I met with Mark after class and told him I was experiencing attacks in the nature of promiscuous thoughts, sexual thoughts of infidelity and impurity, aggressive thoughts, anger and thoughts of hurting people. These would play out in my mind. I had not known where these thoughts were coming from, but now decided they were coming from demons. They also produced a pain in my head.

Mark led me in repentance of my sins which opened the door to these demons, and rebuking them and casting them out in the name of Jesus. From that point on, the major sexual thoughts have stopped as have the headaches.

When I experienced an occasional attack regarding sexual thoughts, I now realize that it is coming from a spirit of sexual impurity so I will speak a command saying, “Spirit of sexual infidelity, leave in Jesus' name. Spirit of sexual promiscuity, I command you to go now and not come back in Jesus' name. Spirit of adultery and demon of headaches causing these thoughts, and this pain in my head, LEAVE NOW in Jesus' name!"

I have learned how to rebuke the enemy, taking authority over him in Jesus' name. I identify and name the demon, based on the thoughts it is bringing to me. I then command it to go in Jesus' name.

As Mark was praying with me and we identified and rebuked demons. I saw a vision of a demonic crown trying to be placed on my head. It was floating towards me but I rebuked it and it left.  I asked Jesus to cover me with the protection of His Blood. I sensed the demon leave. We prayed for the Holy Spirit to fill the space that was left empty by this demon's leaving, and I committed to yielding control of this area of my life to the Holy Spirit.

As I prayed to be filled with the Holy Spirit, I breathed in deeply and received the Holy Spirit. This new fullness of the Spirit has kept demons at a distance so I no longer feel the intense attack that I used to experience.

At this point, which is now many months later, the attacks have all stopped.  They have stayed away! I now have a great mental clarity, no headaches or pains in and around my head and no more weird or disturbing sexual thoughts or feelings. I am clean!

I wanted to share this testimony because IT proves that deliverance works. We can identify spirits by the nature of their attack. We can close the open doors in our lives which have allowed them access by repenting of our sins. We MUST then fill the empty space in our hearts with the Holy Spirit’s fullness and control so the demons don’t return. I am now able to minister deliverance to others in the body of Christ. Thank you, Lord, for my amazing freedom in Christ!
