Adultery and Fornication in Leadership
If you’re in leadership and struggling with fornication and adultery, or any other type of perversion and immoral behavior, it is okay to step down from front-line duties and get before The LORD Jesus for Deliverance, Healing and Restoration.
As a Spiritual Leader, you carry Authority, and your spiritual condition can affect your congregants!
Sexual sin is not just a private struggle, it can create spiritual defilement in the body of Christ, for as 1 Corinthians 5:6 says, “a little leaven leavens the whole lump.”
Last year July 21, 2024, I had a very disturbing Dream about two very prominent “prophets” and I got up rebuking every sex demon in Jesus’ Name.
I heard The Holy Spirit say to me, “It’s not about you, it’s their adultery and fornication!”
In the Dream, I even saw one of them showing his private parts and it had what appeared to be a tattoo.
I didn’t make it public — but shared in my intercessor group, because I wasn’t given permission to go further at the time.
It was absolutely disturbing, but then another thing was revealed, the sexual Rites being performed … (But that’s for another time….)
Transference of spirits is real!
Further to My previous post, “Spirits Transference Through Conversations and Interactions,“ spirits can be transferred through association, leadership, and even teaching.
If a leader is entangled in sexual sin, they may unknowingly pass on a spirit of lust, perversion, or compromise to their congregation. (Hosea 4:9 “And it shall be: Like people, like priest.”)
The Bible calls leaders to be above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2-7, Titus 1:6-9).
Leaders should function with integrity and have accountability.
If, as a Leader, you are in habitual sin, then you are not fit to shepherd others until you are restored! (James 3:1 “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.”)
We should know that unrepentant sin opens the doors to the enemy!
When sin remains unchecked in leadership, it invokes Demonic Strongholds into The Church.
This can manifest as spiritual stagnation, increased temptation among members, and moral failures spreading like a virus. (Ephesians 4:27 – “Do not give the devil a foothold.”)
The Pulpit is not a place for hidden sin!
God demands holiness from those who lead His People.
God requires Purity in His Vessels!
“Be holy, for I AM Holy.” 1 Peter 1:16.
“Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21.
“Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed.” James 5:16.
Confess and Repent! Seek deliverance from all demonic attachments from sexual since!
God is willing to restore! (Psalm 51)
Shalom

Amazing..amen.
Greetings Syreeta-
Your post is so very appropriate for this Hour of church history. You wrote what the Lord has been showing many in the Church today – sexual sin in leadership can bring down a ministry,cause collateral damage when defilement enters the Camp. People lose heart, and their trust is broken. Lives are ruined.
The remedy for all sin is always repentance. Accountability. Then the restoration process. What is disheartening is that of the of the church exposures hitting the news everyday -the leaders involved refuse to step down. Some become more emboldened. We pray hearts respond to the Lord’s redemptive corrections. All of us, in this hour, will be well if we walk humbly before our God.
Thank you for your well-worded post.
Hi Syreeta
If you are a mature follower of Adonai Yeshua and have sexual sin or any other sin and you don’t repent thereof and stop sinning you will go to the pit.
The church I’m in, the pastor refuse to take correction and Adonai remove His Lampstand ( the presence off Adonai Ruach) and Leviathan the antichrist spirit possessed him. Every time he comes in the service the anointing.
There is no forgiveness for that pastor anymore. Ezekiel 18:24, Hebrews 6:4-6; Hebrews 10:26-31.
