could get a better look. You know what I’m talking about. What do they call
it, a peeping tom, standing somewhere lurking in the dark? What do they
say, “that if a man doesn’t peep he’s sleep”. And the bible says he became
pale because of lust for her. His countenance changed. He had in his heart a

secret fantasy, an imagination. His father's lust had activated itself in his son.
And there he was scheming, trying to get his sister in bed with him. He
played on her maternal instincts. You know how we men do; we play so
pitiful and act like we can hardly make it. He told her he was sick, he told her
nobody really understands me. I don't have anybody to take care of me. He
played on her female maternal instincts and he got her to cook for him. And
while she was baking bread and bringing soup to him, he said I am too weak
to feed myself, you have to feed me. And he drew her over to his bed and he
raped his sister. [2 Samuel 13]

King David didn't deal with his problem and it came up in Solomon, his other
son. He was wise, anointed, and powerful. He inherited his father's right to be
king and to rule. But he had a nasty problem with women. The bible tells us

that Solomon loved many foreign women. Besides the daughter of the king
of Egypt he married Hittite women and women from Moab, Ammon, Edom,
and Sidon. He married them even though the Lord had commanded the
Israelites not to intermarry with these people, because they would cause the
Israelites to give their loyalty to other gods. Solomon married seven hundred
princesses and also had three hundred other women that he could go an lay

with without marring them. They made him turn away from God, and by the
time he was old they had led him into the worship of foreign gods. He was
not faithful to the Lord his God, as his father David had been. [1Kings 11:1-4] And
this problem he had with women came up to haunt him, and destroy him,
and to break him down.

It's not just a drive, or cravings. It's a spirit. Looking at you with wanton eyes,
saying, I want to activate myself in his life, I want to use his body to pollute as
many people as I can. I want to cause him to rage war, and to do what it is
he does so that he might be distraught and torn down.

But before you get nervous, before you get intimidated and insecure, I got
news for you. Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. [1John
4:4] There is an anointing that will destroy the yoke. [Isaiah 10:27] It will destroy
