Yikes!! (Sexual Dreams Part 2) Answering Questions the Brave Dare to Ask

Lately there have been a number of questions about sex dreams posted on the forum. Since many blog readers never make it to the forum, I thought I would bring a lot of what I posted there here: so gird yourself up as we jump right in!

Question: If I have a problem with masturbating in my dreams or wake up stimulated, does this mean I need deliverance from Incubus or Succubus? Repenting for the masturbation doesn’t seem to work—the dreams keep coming back.
Answer: Incubus/ Succubus?—I seriously doubt it—but here is the breakdown of each component of the question.......

Incubus and Succubus are demonic spirits which appear in human like form to have sex with humans. This requires either (1) an overt invitation  (2) some sort of legal ground (usually in the family line) where an invitation or generational permission has been made allowing this perversion to occur, or (3) intentional abuse at the hand of an occult savvy abuser.

Remember-- this is a spiritual transaction and experience. You would know if this was happening-- and I don't see it as relevant for most individuals. These experiences involve an actual visitation from this type of spirit not just dreams in which you are having illicit sex, or wake up physically stimulated or sexually satisfied.  In cases where it is occurring, the person has to repent for the legal ground (either their own invitation or that of their ancestors or those in authority over them) then appropriate the blood of Jesus. They may also have to deal with the residual memories and demonic transfers that occur during this transaction.

Masturbating in twilight sleep
This is more an issue of the flesh than a spiritual attack. There are a number of things this could be attributed to-- sexual addiction, sexual tension, self soothing, poor self--esteem, history of sexual abuse. The approach would be anything from (1) avoiding romance novels, sexually explicit movies, and having normal relations with one’s spouse etc.,.(2) finding more appropriate and life-giving ways of self-soothe (3)dealing with a possible sexual addiction (4)dealing with inner healing issues. (I am sure there are more possibilities-- this is just off the top of my head!)

Masturbating in a dream ok- this is completely different-- remember-- dreams are parabolic. Even though you may wake up all stimulated (or satisfied), it is still a dream. There is nothing demonic about this. (Unless a demonic creature is stimulating you) So look at the context of the dream to figure out what arena you are trying to stimulate yourself in. What is the metaphor? Is it simply that you are trying to self sooth thru soulish pursuits? Is it self-talk? Gossip? Sarcasm? Are you tallying your self worth thru the number of facebook friends you have? By the size of your ministry? Remember, masturbation is making things happen yourself that should be occuring thru intimacy with God or others. Sex is supposed to happen within the context of relationship-- so the metaphor is doing it yourself; taking things into your own hands (so to speak)-- seeking to please yourself, stimulating yourself, self gratification.....look at the context for more specifics.

The solution? Your spirit ruling over your soul and flesh. Remember the dream is the symptom, not the problem-- it is a manifestation of the real issue. That is why repenting for masturbation doesn't really work-- repent for the REAL issue and  those embarrassing dreams will disappear for good!

So my approach would be to ask God to shine his light on the area in which I am self stimulating...taking things into my own hands... gratifying myself etc. and hold it there long enough until I see what He sees. Then I would repent for that issue, tell God I "get it" and ask for an end to those mortifying dreams!

Each night before going to sleep, I would also ask God to help my spirit to rule over my soul and flesh-- Then as your spirit grows in its capacity-- the flavour of your dreams will change and your spirit will actually help you see what the soul is blinded to.  Determining the Source
Sex dreams have many different sources, and it is important to correctly discern their etiology--
Are they soul dreams? -- in which you are processing what is going on in the natural? (this could include being victimized, gratifying your desires in a soulish manner --as well as sexual addiction- although, really, do you need a dream to tell you that you have an addiction to pornography?)
Most of the time such dreams are metaphors to get your attention.

Are they warning dreams from God? Usually these have a solution or bring your spirit to repentance/ grief to  intercede on your own behalf--you may wake up with a sense of relief in knowing that you can repent and come clean; or, the solution may be outlined in your dream thru a declaration made by you or someone else.

Are the dreams initiated from the enemy? These are dark all around. No redemptive quality to them. You feel slimed. I don't recommend getting your revelation from a dark dream! Ask God to reveal any legal ground for this type of dream.

Lastly -- is it a demonic experience (Incubus/ Succubus) Notice I said "LASTLY"-- this is rare! it requires legal ground in which you, your ancestors or your abuser INTENTIONALLY sought out sex with a demonic being. A visitation/experience is different than a dream. Discern the difference. Ask God to reveal the legal ground and appropriate the blood of Jesus as a barrier between you and any covenants or agreements made with the enemy concerning your sexuality and autonomy over your body.

Sometimes to gain authority one needs to practice operating in the opposite spirit-- so if you are vulnerable in a particular arena, start intentionally pursuing the attributes of the opposite.
 So, the opposite of perversion is purity,  faithfulness and fidelity in all relationships- at work, home, in your marriage and with God-- renouncing all unfaithful thoughts, pursuits, ways in which you have betrayed or exploited others, ways in which you have soulishly pursued things contrary to your destiny, ways in which you have tried to gratify yourself, ways in which you or your ancestors pursued idolatry, sexual sin, infidelity, betrayal, or illicitly accessed others in the spirit or the natural.

If you are being taken advantage of sexually in your dream, it implies being spiritually violated, it also infers a victim spirit- so I would renounce that and practice walking in dominion. When people attempt to violate your boundaries, you can say, "EXCUSE ME??!!" I would also take every effort to build up and protect the boundaries of others (building equity in the opposite spirit!)  Remember-- when we violate the boundaries of others, it enables the enemy to violate our boundaries- and can open up generational curses/covenants that have not yet been covered by the blood of Jesus)
