There is a difference between bondage of the flesh and satanic bondage. Fleshly bondage has to do with my wanting to serve my own will, my own appetite, my own way, my own desires. Uncurbed fleshly bondage eventually leads to satanic bondage. Repeatedly giving in to the flesh leads to the entry of evil to establish a stronghold. We are the ones who open the door for the devil's rule in our lives. 

To determine whether you"re dealing with fleshly bondage or satanic bondage, check to see if you're giving in to your flesh or if your flesh is being pulled against your will. If I am draw to pornography, I am in fleshly bondage.  I can give in to the flesh and look at pornography once or twice, and I still am in fleshly bondage. If I become unrepentant and repeat the offense until I am uncontrollably drawn to it, then I have given control to the devil and the bondage is satanic. 

No matter what kind of bondage you suffer, ask God to show you where you need deliverance. Then ask Jesus, the Deliverer, to deliver you and to show you what you must do. You don't need to become preoccupied with the demon or the bondage; you need only to seek the Deliverer, Jesus Christ. After ll, He's the Lord of lord's and the King of king's. Amen! He'll take care of the rest you can always count on Him to do really great things in every area of your life. God bless.
