The interpretation warns against engaging in spiritual warfare for oneself or someother person after sex with ones husband/wife.
My questions:
1. I thought sex was sacred between husband and wife?
2. Do couples have to time the time for sex?
3. Personally I engage in spiritual warfare whenever I pray. Now, if couples were to have sex in the midnight, do they have to just say other prayers without warfare and go to bed? And if it be they have said their prayers at anyother time, including spiritual warfare and the urge comes, do they deny eachother and surpress the urge?
The answer to your questions isn't far fetched as it's better explained and clarified in the word (of God) itself. I quote :
1 Corinthians 7:5
Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
Now, you must understand that sex is very important in marriage and sacred as you put it. And truly, God sees nothing wrong in it,praying before or after love making with you spouse, but engaging in intensive or powerful spiritual warfare,after sex or before? It's a No! No, not because it leaves you vulnerable but limit how much heaven you can possess and authority to fight. That's why the above bible verse, states :
so that you may devote yourselves to prayers. Note that the word " Devote ' in this case means, fully committed, strong, prepared and most importantly, spiritual-minded. And have you wondered why most apostles especially Paul " saw or considered marriage as (his) weakness? That's why the bible verse above says ' you must agree with your spouse for the time being while you engage in such spiritual warfare especially if such warfare requires fast and prayer. But note that engaging in such spiritual journey and off sex without your spouse consent is consider useless and/or a fruitless effort.
There is so much battles between the flesh and the spirit but having sexual encounter with your spouse in marriage before powerful warfare prayer or deliverance doesn't make you a sinner,wrong but it limits how heaven you can reach and power you can possess, how much holy spirit can manifest itself in you,your spirit man.
Bless you.
