Spirit Spouses and the Deliverance Movement: A Biblical Response | NAR to Christ
Show: NAR to Christ • Host: Dawn Hill
Show Summary
In this episode of NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines a teaching that has become increasingly common in parts of the modern deliverance movement: the idea of “spirit spouses.”
Some teachers claim that demons can attach themselves to people through dreams, generational covenants, or spiritual encounters. These experiences are often presented as explanations for spiritual oppression or ongoing spiritual struggles.
But does the Bible actually teach this?
In this episode, Dawn compares these claims with the teaching of Scripture, encouraging believers to test spiritual experiences and teachings by the authority of God’s Word. Rather than relying on sensational stories or speculative spiritual explanations, Christians are called to stand on the truth of the gospel and the sufficiency of Scripture.
