The Spirit of a thing

Brother and Sisters, I was talking to a friend one day about spiritual things in the bible. We talked about the spirit of kindness and how we were told to respect elderly people as children. So, as I was growing up, I did it automatically because it was in my spirit. I have people in my family when they were little, they were so sweet. But when they grew up, they become bad and went to prison. That spirit of stealing got in them. There are so many spirits like drugs, alcohol and suicide. All these spirits can bring weariness. I feel that everyone in some way has come in contact with these spirits. Since we live in a carnal world, some people are always prayed up and have “their armor on to fight affectively against those spirits in family and themself.” I had the spirit of smoking at one time. I just could not stop smoking two packs a day. I remember when that spirit first came on me. I was sitting with coworker one day and they were smoking. I then asked for cigarette. 25 years later, Rev. Pat Roberson was on TV and he was delivering people from spirit of smoking that day. I believed for my healing and I was heal! I never smoked again.
