The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Story of the mission trip to Norway experience
But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast.
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
My conversation with Abraham about current affairs on the F.O.
The enemy is a counterfeit and liar and wants to bring division
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
One of the pieces of the full of armor of God is the belt of TRUTH. Truth actually means INTEGRITY (Not only knowing the truth but living it out), integrity comes from the root word "integer," which means a unit of one.
The enemy any means possible to bring division and not unity, lies and not truth, natural and not supernatural, fear and power, hate and love, chaos and not a sound minds.
Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
The Religious Spirit
The Religious Spirit
A religious spirit is a demon which seeks to substitute religious activity for the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. (Rick Joyner)
Spirit of Religion will try to KILL revival = the voice of God.
Revival is born out of the prophetic spirit.
And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Jezebel was after the prophet Elijah (the voice of God) 1 Kings 19:1-2
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword.
Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.”
The Jezebel spirit is easily seen as one who attacks the prophet because she tried to destroy the prophets of Israel during Elijah’s time. She wanted the destruction of all true worship in Israel and the voice of the Lord to be silenced, with only her own voice remaining. She was a self proclaiming prophetess but clearly spoke for darkness and not God.
Herod was after John the Baptist Mark 6:14-20
Now King Herod heard of Him, for His name had become well known. And he said, “John the Baptist is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”
Others said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, “It is the Prophet, or like one of the prophets.”
But when Herod heard, he said, “This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!”
For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her.
Because John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
Therefore Herodias held it against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not;
for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and he protected him. And when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
The Herod spirit Makes you look good, focuses on right actions, conduct and acceptance of man’s work. Will cover up fear by masks, it tries to hide the real issues, it worries non-stop about others opinion, all kinds of sin is only,”dealt” with in its own strength. (Never erased by grace)
Defeat the Religious spirit with Humility
Defeat the Religious spirit with Humility
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.
You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails any thing, but faith working through love.
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
The Spirit of Rebellion
The Spirit of Rebellion
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,
And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,
He also has rejected you from being king.”
This scripture reveals that to adequately understand and identify Rebellion, we need to understand the sin of Divination/Witchcraft.
“Divination/Witchcraft is the sin that seeks to manipulate events, people or the future by the spirits of the departed dead. (Lev. 19:26; Dt 18:9-12). Rebellion against God's word is like this sin in that both involve a rejection of God's lordship and an attempt to determine the outcome of things in a manner other then from under God's protection and put them under the destruction power of Satan and evil spirits (Deut 16:14;18:10;19:9 )”
The Journey of rebellion
The Journey of rebellion
So let's use the study of Typology to paint a picture of divination and, according to our main scriptural text, stumble over the root of rebellion.
Israel is an Old Testament picture of the Church
Egypt represents the World
Moses was a OT type of Christ
Pharaoh was a OT type of anti-christ
And the picture of Hell/ occult in the Old Testament is: Babylon (The city of witchcraft).
The Road to Babel
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
But ADAM and EVE fell to rebellion...
After the Fall and removal of Man from Eden, Human morality and genetic structure deteriorated exponentially with the birth of the Nephalim, who were on the Earth before and after the Flood. Fallen Angels had children with women, introducing a polluted DNA, an abomination (not of God). They also taught the dark arts of the occult, including divination.
God re-affirms His original commission to Noah to fill the Earth, with the promise that He would not flood the Earth again, and confirmed it with the rainbow.
Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan.
Then he said: “Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brethren.”
Then NIMROD comes into the picture
Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.” And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
The Tower of Babel
Yet the account of Babel cannot be the Ground Zero of the epidemic called Rebellion, for the Tower was only an earthly shadow or an echo of Heavenly events, and a disease quite satanic in origin.
To discover the root of rebellion, we need to go back to the Angels highest ranks. See that before rebellion devastated the Human race, it was causing war and division among the Angelic.
(Ezekiel 28:11-18) The King of Tyre
Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. “You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you. “By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, And you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing Out of the mountain of God; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the fiery stones. “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, That they might gaze at you. “You defiled your sanctuaries By the multitude of your iniquities, By the iniquity of your trading; Therefore I brought fire from your midst; It devoured you, And I turned you to ashes upon the earth In the sight of all who saw you.
Defeat the Spirit of rebellion with a Heart after God
Defeat the Spirit of rebellion with a Heart after God
Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
Repentance, Renewal, Presence, Be filled with the HS, Meditate on the testimony of Jesus in your life (Joy of His salvation), be filled with the HS, again!
The Recipe for Revival
The Recipe for Revival
“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
