BELIAL, The Wicked Ruler

BELIAL, The Wicked Ruler

destroy ministry gifts.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: 1 hate the work of them that turn aside, it shall not cleave to me. Psalm 101:3 The Harrison translation says, "I will not have anything unworthy in my presence..." This shows us the attitude and abhorrence we as people of God should have toward anything related to Belial. Anything base, vile, unworthy, unclean, ungodly, contemptible, wicked, blasphemous or shameful, we should resist and abhor. We are to abhor that which is evil, and cleave to that which is good. Abhor is a strong word. It means to regard with extreme repugnance, to loathe; to turn aside or keep away from especially in scorn or shuddering fear, to reject, to hate. This verse can apply to the present day rise of pornography and the sexual filth that Belial is flooding our nation with. One of the vilest forms of pornography is "kiddie porn" which is a thriving business supported by pedophiles. Pedophilia is sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object. Most states have obscenity laws that are being challenged by those who feel as if government should provide no constraint. Obscenity is defined as the state of being obscene. Obscene means disgusting to the senses, repulsive, abhorrent to morality or virtue (Webster). Pornography opens the door for a host of evil spirits of lust and perversion. There has also been a connection between pornography and rape in some studies. I believe Belial is a ruling spirit over spirits of pornography, whoredom, prostitution and other sexual spirits. Sexual impurity is another strong spirit that is under his control including spirits of homosexuality and lesbianism (perversion). If this spirit can pervert the morals of a nation through sexual immorality, he can bring the judgment and curse of the Lord upon a nation.
