Sin lives in parts of the brain.

Sin lives in parts of the brain. Scriptures record that evil spirits were often driven out of people. All but the most saintly of us have evil spirits inside us.

The evil spirits of lust, for instance, tend to live in one part of the brain. From their cerebral home, they move like lightning to focus the mind on gratifying the the senses around them. One can sometimes feel these demons taking a quick glance at something improper and trying to magnify it into a longer thought that the demon wants to become a destructive obsession.

Other demons live in other parts of the brain. The demons within feed on the tiny amounts of electricity they can focus on themselves. If we don’t think about sensuality, the demons of lust in our mind will grow dim, but, like a reverse light-emitting diode, is always ready to darken up.

Demons of Anger live in another part of the mind. They love to focus our thoughts on hate and revenge. Like all demons, they, too, feed on the negative energy they can generate.

Each of the tribes of demons (the mnemonic, PEAS, Green, Good, and Little helps us remember them in order of danger: Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust)

generates and absorbs special wavelengths of negative spiritual energy. Their end goal is death, so it pays to short-circuit their feeding by prayer, fasting, and more prayer.

Prayer and fasting generate a spiritually positive wavelength that cancels out the negative wavelengths that feed and empower the demonic forces to take over ever more of the mind until they can cause its death.

Those whose minds are dominated by demons tend to have political beliefs that are often reflective of how badly their minds have been ravaged by one or more tribes of demons. If demons gain power over people, and encourage them to take over political entities, whole nations can be destroyed.
