Demonic Spirits that Attack Marriages

The following are four demonic spirits that work against marriage. If these spirits gain a stronghold in your marriage, it can be detrimental to the marriage. Learn to identify these spirits at work, and what to do about them. Once you obey the Word of God, and resist these demonic spirits in Jesus Name, they will not be able to have a foothold in your marriage.

Spirit of Seduction


1 Tim. 4:1-3 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

Works of the Spirit of Seduction:

  • To remain unmarried in order to “discover oneself”.

  • To believe it is better to stay unmarried.

  • To find any excuse to divorce.

  • To abandon commitment to spouse for personal fulfillment (loving pleasure more than God)...”I need time apart for my happiness and wellbeing”. “Lovers of themselves”.

    • 2 Timothy 3:1-4 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 

  • To be Disobedient to Parents. 

  • To be Ungrateful to family members

Hosea 4:12-13 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.13They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.

  3. Rebuke the Spirit of Whoredoms from your life and family in Jesus Name.

Lying Spirit

Proverbs 14:5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

1 Tim. 4:2 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron

Works of the Lying Spirit

  • False witness against their partner - saying they do things they did not do. Accusing them of things that did not occur. 

  • Brings thoughts that the spouse did things that they did not do

  • Suspicious of their partner doing wrong they are not even close to doing

  • False Witness: Finding wrong in a good husband/wife

  • Not Calling Your Spouse Who they are (that’s not my husband; you are nobody; you are nothing to me, etc) - 

    • Genesis 26:7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.

  • Not calling your children who they are. 

  • Teaching promotes the individual’s ownership instead of the realization that you belong to Another.

What to do?

  • When doubt comes to mind, rebuke it and speak about who your spouse is to you, and who you are to them

  • When there is evidence of a true issue, speak to your spouse first, if that fails, go to a minister or Christian counselor

  • Refrain from engaging in accusing and misnaming

  • If 60% of the quality of your spouse is good, then thank God for your spouse.


Spirit of Divination

Hosea 4:12-13 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God. 13They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
