		Thus what Christians should do is to "discern" the evil spirits (probably by extra-biblical revelation) that are "ruling" over the area (located in the sky above the area), and pray against them (by exercising spiritual authority over them) so that they would depart.

		The whole concept of there being “spirits of greed,” “spirits of lust,” “religious spirits,” “spirits of strife,” and so on, cannot be supported by Scripture, much less the idea that those different kinds of spirits exist in the higher ranks of evil spirits who rule the kingdom of darkness.
		In regard to the first and the second, certainly all evil spirits could be referred to as “deceiving spirits” and “spirits of distortion.” In regard to the third, the phrase “spirit of harlotry” is not necessarily a reference to a specific evil spirit, but simply a prevailing attitude.
