Most of you that know me, realize that I have been working on a particular book for several years called, "Rising Spirits in a Fallen World". It covers several spirits that are arising in these last days. I could never get a release from God to finish it. I would ask people to help me and they would get attacked of the devil, and taken out. My manuscript left in the dust. I would pick it up and dust it off, and breathe life into it, only to have to pick it up and dust it off again. I have been greatly grieved over all of the warfare over this book. Finally!!!! Studying last week God gave me the final spirit that will arise in these last days, and I am overwhelmed with joy. Let me just share one of the many spirits that will arise in these last days. The "Onan Spirit."
Genesis 38:8-10 (NIV) Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.” But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also.
The sin of Onan was his greedy, selfish refusal to sire a son on behalf of his brother. Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother's wife and marry her, and raise up an heir to your brother." But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the LORD; therefore He killed him also."
The spirit of Onan says, "Sex yes, responsibility....No!" This spirit is all about selfishness and making things look like they are in obedience, when in reality they are in defiance. This spirit will grow stronger and stronger as we see the Lord's Day approaching. More and more people will be having sexual relations with no intention of every having children. They refuse to sow into the next generation. The spirit of Onan only considers how the consequences of having a child will affect them. They are void of honor and have no fear of God.

Deuteronomy 25:5 (KJV) "If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.
We don't get to make the rules. Our job is to obey the Lord fully. Partial obedience is disobedience. Disobedience cost loves.
