Contention

Posted on by tanprelow

In the bible, both the old and new testament, we read scriptures that continually speak about strife, contention, and division. For example, the Corinthian church (1st Corinthians) experienced quarrels that the Apostle Paul had to address. Likewise, the book of Proverbs mentions strife and contention several times as A warning for the reader.

  • James 3:16 KJV For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
  • Proverbs 22:10 AMP Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go away; Even strife and dishonor will cease.
  • Proverbs 13:10 Only by pride cometh contention: But with the well advised is wisdom. ‘

Contention defined: Synonyms – Discord, Strife, Conflict, Dissension, Variance An act or instance of contending.

A contentious spirit: The spirit of contention brings forth strife, divisions, and disunity. Those who have a combative spirit are bound by hatred, resentment (bitterness), and anger. Operating in such a spirit will also open the door to discord (disharmony in the home and church), constant debates, and disputes (arguments). Pride and selfishness usually are at the root, along with A spirit of envy.

A Kingdom divided: There is no wonder why we as Christians are supposed to be united,  but there is A contrary force that contends against the body of Christ—specifically designed to stop unity. Our adversary (satan) understands that agreement is essential amongst the saints of God. For how good it is for brethren to dwell together in harmony. For that is where the anointing flows, and blessings are commanded. Psalms 133

When we are A kingdom divided, we cannot stand. That is why, down in the souls/heart of man, our adversary has strategically placed his rebellious spirits in us to cause division, disunity, and strife.

Mark 3:24 If a kingdom is divided [split into factions and rebelling] against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

God is raising his saints to be an end-time army of selfless individuals. We are supposed to have an unselfish concern for one another; we have to get to the root issue to drive out the scoffing spirit, which will cause contention to cease. Let us examine some scriptures to understand how this works or may already be in operation in our lives.

Original design: God created the woman for man; he said it is not suitable for man to be alone. Women were created to be: A helpmeet, opposite, someone suitable, and complementary. She was designed to be A faithful companion. (Gen 2)When Adam saw his helpmeet, he called her the name EVE, which means “life-giver” women were created to bring forth life.

Due to the fall of man, we have strayed far away from our original design. Women are now independent and exalted above the man, and this is not the woman GOD created; instead, this is A foreign woman. A foreign (strange) woman is someone opposite of what God created us to be.

The Contentious Woman:

  • Proverbs 21:19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, Than with a contentious and an angry woman.
  • Proverbs 27:15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike.

A contentious woman is quarrelsome; she constantly nags, criticizes, and cannot be restrained. When she nags, she continuously harasses those around her. This woman also is very critical, always grumbling, complaining, scolding, and fault-finding. Nothing is ever good for the contentious woman. When someone is nagging, it shows they lack trust in God, which causes anxiety, worry, and self-consciousness. The bible also calls this woman odious, which means she is unloved and obnoxious.

An odious woman is repulsive, repellent, offensive, hateful, opinionated, and disagreeable. This means this woman (or wife) is rebellious; she rejects all legitimate authority. The Odious Woman

Miriam & Aaron Numbers 12: Miriam showed signs of being A contentious woman when she spoke against Moses. A contentious/odious woman will always contend against male leadership. She asked, “has the Lord really spoken only through Moses? Has he not also spoken through us?” God heard her, and she became leprous; remember GOD will contend against those who contend against his people.  

Women must repent if they identify with being contentious; A contentious woman is under the influence of A Jezebel spirit.

The Contentious Man:

  • Proverbs 26:21 Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to kindle strife.
  • Numbers 17:10 But the Lord said to Moses, “Put Aaron’s rod back before the Testimony [in the ark], to be kept as a [warning] sign for the rebellious and contentious, so that you may put an end to their murmurings [of discontent] against Me, so that they do not die.”

A contentious man love to kindle strife; he has A warring spirit that causes him to contend with others. He is also argumentative, depressive, and hostile. On the other hand, contentious men operate in an Ahab spirit.

Excerpt from the book “Jezebel, Seducing Goddess of War.” Goddess of War

“Scripture tells us Ahab walked in the sins of Jeroboam; if you study Jeroboam, his name means

To Contend or The Contentious One” Ahab walked in like manner. The Ahab-influenced person has several basic characteristics. One characteristic is that they will nit-pick you and contend with you on even minor things.  You can tell them the truth, and they would want to argue with you about another point. This person is always contrary and can never find their place in the body of Christ. He has to keep the fire going by kindling strife. (My emphasis added)

“It is almost like having A person say to you, “I love you, but I’m going to contend with you just because that’s my nature.” To be more accurately stated, it is their rebellion. Like the contentious woman, contentious men should repent.

A call to unity: We can overcome these spirits with humility and the wisdom of God. Pride causes strife, but the humble person will not allow the flame to keep burning.

  • Proverbs 21:24 “Proud,” “Haughty,” “Scoffer,” are his names Who acts with overbearing and insolent pride. ‘
  • Proverbs 17:14 ‘The beginning of strife is like letting out water [as from a small break in a dam; first it trickles and then it gushes]; Therefore abandon the quarrel before it breaks out and tempers explode. ‘
  • Proverbs 29:8 Scoffers set a city afire [by stirring up trouble], But wise men turn away anger [and restore order with their good judgment]. ‘

We are called to unify on one accord in the body of Christ. Men and women are not separate no part can be left out. We need every member fitly joined together to make the complete body. Each member in the body of Christ is called to wrap themselves in unselfish love, which is the perfect bond of unity for everything is bound together in agreement when each one seeks the best for others Colossians 3:14.

Philippians 2:3 AMP Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit [through factional motives, or strife], but with [an attitude of] humility [being neither arrogant nor self-righteous], regard others as more important than yourselves.

In closing, these spirits Ahab & Jezebel, are the enemies of the cross of Jesus Christ. They are assigned to the church and homes to bring forth disharmony into the body of Christ. Their assignment is to stop true unity. Beware of Dogs!

Philippians 3:1-3

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. ‘

I pray this teaching was enlightening to you; God bless and keep you all!

Witchcraft: A perverted Anointing

Posted on by tanprelow

Galatians 5:19-21

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these ; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, Witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. ‘

Ephesians 2:2-3

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. ‘

In 2021, we live in A age where the works of the flesh are a part of the daily lives of people. To be led by the Spirit of God has become taboo. The spirit of this world has A strong force designed to mislead and draw people away. We are seeing multitudes of Christians being drawn out by the enticing & seductive spirit of this world. 

To draw away means: Remove by drawing or pulling; other synonyms for this word are: draw off, pull off, pick off, pluck off, tweak or pull out sharply. 

Surprisingly, this is what we are seeing as many people are drawn out of the church. They are following after the lust of the flesh. 

What is this spiritual force that’s causing so many people to turn away from the path of righteousness? What is causing people to be misled down A crooked path? It is mentioned in the scripture above as one of the works of the flesh; it is “Witchcraft.” 

Derek Prince describes Witchcraft as “the religion of fallen humanity, Witchcraft is public enemy number one.” I also like to describe Witchcraft as the perverted anointing of Satan. 

The fall of Lucifer:

Ezekiel 28:12-15

Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD ; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed Cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. ‘

After reading these verses, it is clear that Ezekiel is describing the king of Tyre in terms that could not apply to a man. According to the scripture above, this king has/had the following attributes:

  • He was in the Garden of Eden (28:13)
  • Is A cherubim angel (“The anointed Cherub) (28:14)
  • Had access to the Holy Mountain of God (28:14)
  • He was full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 
  • This being was A created being
  • Until iniquity was found and he was cast down (28:16,17)

A few more things we can gather from the scripture above is

  • Lucifer was the anointed Cherub, but although he fell, he never lost his anointing; it is now A perverted anointing. 
  • He was full of wisdom, but now he has A corrupted wisdom (James 3:15)
  • He was created to give praise and Glory to GOD, but he began to glorify himself. 
  • He became self-exalted (narcissistic) 
  • Prideful and self-deluded. (James 1:22)

When he fell, he became the opposite of what God created him to be; this is the definition of perversion. 

Perversion: The alteration of something from its original course, meaning, or state to a distortion or corruption of what was first intended.

As one writer explains, “Witchcraft is the corrupted or perverted anointing of the devil he uses to advance his rebellion as a fallen angel. It is the supernatural power that he possesses and shares with humans who are under his dominion and serve him. Through this power or satans perverted anointing, servants of the devil can perform supernatural acts or miracles.” 

Choosing the right Path:

One of the goals of Witchcraft is to cause people to leave from the path GOD has called them to walk in. They turn away from the truth to follow after a misleading spirit. Once people are drawn away from the truth, their path becomes crooked (perverse). 

In the bible, several scriptures speak of our pathway in life. 

Pathway defined: As applied to man, a course or manner of life: (i) man’s outward lot in life, his career or destiny, path, path’-wa (orach, nethibhah, etc.; tribos, trochia):

  • Psalm 23:3 He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
  •  Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].
  • Proverbs 10:17 He who learns from instruction and correction is on the [right] path of life [and for others his example is a path toward wisdom and blessing], But he who ignores and refuses correction goes off course [and for others his example is a path toward sin and ruin].

As mentioned in Proverbs 10:17, those who learn from instruction and correction are on the right path of life, but those who ignore and refuse correction “go off course” means they (deflect, depart, deviate, wander, bend) from the right path. To receive correction, we must have A teachable spirit those who are teachable:

  • Continually seek wise counsel 
  • Their ears are open and attentive to skillful and godly wisdom (This person is not listening to A lot of voices) Proverbs 2
  • Apply their heart to seeking understanding, diligently striving for understanding of God and his ways. 
  • Meditate on the word of God to understand his word. God gives us skillful and godly wisdom) and from his word (mouth) comes knowledge and understanding Proverbs 2

Those who are unteachable are the opposite. Being UN-teachable is A sin; as we read above, this person ignores and refuses correction or rebuke, which causes them to “go off course.” When someone is unteachable, they are wise in their own eyes, they do not seek wise Godly counsel, and their ears are shut to any godly wisdom. This person will appear to receive correction outwardly, but inwardly they are rebelling against the truth being presented to them. 

They may even appear to repent but will continue to make the same mistakes repeatedly because of the rebellion and pride that is within them. The unteachable person is very obstinate. When someone is stubborn and rebellious, this is likened to Witchcraft.

  • Proverbs 26:12 Do you see a man [who is unteachable and] wise in his own eyes and full of self-conceit? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
  • 1st Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of Witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

The naïve Christian: A naïve Christian is A UN-discerning Christian; to be naïve is someone who shows A lack of experience, wisdom, or judgment. Naïve people are easily misled. When they are easily misled; it is easy for their path to become perverted. This person will believe every word they hear. Let’s look at two words that are related to being naïve:

  • Silly: Having or showing A lack of common sense or judgment; absurd and foolish. 
  • Gullible: Easily persuaded to believe something. 

Proverbs 14:15 The naive or inexperienced person [is easily misled and] believes every word he hears, But the prudent man [is discreet and astute and] considers well where he is going.

Silly women in the last days: Apostle Paul warned Timothy of the perilous times we would see at the end of the age. He warned us there would be silly/gullible/naive women who are easily led away by diverse lusts because they are burdened (oppressed, weighed down, and overloaded) with sin. 

2 Timothy 3:6-7 AMP For among them are those who worm their way into homes and captivate morally weak and spiritually–dwarfed women weighed down by [the burden of their] sins, easily swayed by various impulses, always learning and listening to anybody who will teach them, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

  •  These women are spiritual but, their spiritual maturity level is dwarfed. It is dwarfed due to their unteachable heart, they are now unable to come to the recognition (the fact of knowing something or someone) of the truth (Jesus). They are always learning new information but never come to the knowledge of the truth (Jesus). Since they only know about Jesus but have never grown to know Jesus (intimately) himself, they are easily misled. 

The path of evil (The evil, perverse man & the strange woman) In Proverbs 2, we are warned to stay from the way (path) of sin and the evil man. The evil man speaks perverse (crooked, untoward, forward) words. Think of the Garden of Eden when the serpent came and questioned God’s word to eve; the perverse man is the same. As A Result, this spirit does the following: 

  • Perverts the way (path) of the righteous
  • Can cause someone to leave the path of uprightness 
  • Walk in the ways (path) of darkness
  • Begin to find joy in doing evil and delight in the perversity of evil. 
  • Their path becomes perverse (crooked); they become devious (deceptive) in their ways. 

The strange woman is the same; she uses flattering/enticing words as she hunts for unstable/naïve souls. But, unfortunately, her path leads to the dead. Those who go to her do not return nor regain (retrieve, recover) the paths of life. Beware of the evil man and the strange woman.

Here is an article of A young lady explaining how she was spiritually misled by Witchcraft: Spiritually deceived by Witchcraft.

As I mentioned before, Witchcraft perverts the path of the righteous. When the Apostle Paul confronted the Sorcerer in the bible, he confirmed the same thing the goal is to pervert the path of the righteous. In the occult, one of the terms for people that enter into traditional Witchcraft is “The Crooked Path,” they also have the left-hand path and right-hand path. Notice the emphasis on the word “path.” 

Confronting Witchcraft: In the New Testament, the apostles faced sorcerers who hindered the gospel of Jesus Christ. So likewise, sorcery opposes people and try to turn them away from accepting the faith. As we confront Witchcraft, we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit and led by the Holy Spirit just as the Apostles were.

Acts 13:6-10

When they had traveled through the entire island [of Cyprus] as far as Paphos, they found a sorcerer, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus, Who was [closely associated] with the proconsul [of the province], Sergius Paulus, an intelligent and sensible man. He called for Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear the word of God [concerning eternal salvation through faith in Christ]. But Elymas the Sorcerer (for that is how his name is translated) opposed them, trying to turn the proconsul away from accepting the faith. But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit and led by Him, looked steadily at Elymas and said, “You [Elymas] who are full of every [kind of] deceit, and every [kind of] fraud, you son of the devil, enemy of everything that is right and good, will you never stop perverting the straight paths of the Lord? ‘

Those who operate in Witchcraft to oppose the preaching of the gospel are:

  • Deceitful
  • Fraudulent
  • Children of the devil 
  • Enemies of everything right and good. 

Ultimately they pervert the straight paths of the Lord.  But, God’s hand is upon those who do this evil. 

In conclusion, we are called to be led by the Spirit of God. We are not called to walk in the flesh. Jesus came to make our crooked paths straight; he can turn everything that is crooked straight; it’s up to us to choose this day who we will serve. 

God guards the path of justice (righteousness) those in right standing with him. God preserves (protects, safeguard) the way of his saints. Open your ears to skillful and godly wisdom be attentive to godly wisdom. Apply your heart to seek understanding (diligently) strive for it eagerly. Proverbs 2

We are called to Repent and return to the old pathways. Go back in the way of righteousness towards eternal life with Jesus Christ. 

  • Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls

Your War is in the heavenlies

Posted on by tanprelow

Daniel 10:12-13 KJV

Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Daniel was in Babylonian captivity during this time; he served the king with loyalty and ability. Despite his captivity, he remained loyal to the God of Israel. Daniel decided to inquire of the Lord on behalf of his people via prayer & fasting.

 Three Full Weeks:

Daniel 10:2-3 AMP In those days, I, Daniel, had been mourning for three entire weeks. I ate no tasty food, nor did any meat or wine enter my mouth, and I did not anoint (refresh, groom) myself at all for the entire three weeks.

Daniel had seen A vision that involved his people for A latter time. He had A made-up mind, and he was determined to inquire of the Lord and seek understanding on behalf of his people. A messenger of God was sent the first day that Daniel set his heart to understand and fast before GOD. However, the angel-faced opposition and delay. Notice the angel told Daniel, “He came because of his words” never underestimate the power of prayer. 

Demonic opposition – Daniel was told about the opposition the Angel faced for 21 days the Angel was battling with the Prince of Persia. There was A satanic delay assigned over the answer to Daniel’s prayer. This shows us how Satan works to thwart/overthrow our prayers and the answers to our prayers.

Satan’s goal is to hinder Christians from breaking through in prayer, which will advance the kingdom of God. He will attempt to hinder, impede, block, obstruct and restrain us. The kingdom of darkness focuses most of its activity on hindering/delaying the saints of God.

Spurgeon wrote, “Since the first hour in which goodness came into conflict with evil, it has never ceased to be true in spiritual experience, that Satan hinders us. From all points of the compass, all along the line of battle, in the vanguard and in the rear, at the dawn of day and in the midnight hour, Satan hinders us. If we toil in the field, he seeks to break the ploughshare; if we build the wall, he labors to cast down the stones; if we would serve God in suffering or in conflict–everywhere, Satan hinders us.”

This explains the need for our faith to be strong and grounded; it also shows why we need fervency in prayer. If Daniel had given up on day 15, he wouldn’t have received his answer. It was possibly the fervent prayers of Daniel that sent reinforcement for the Angel.

From this chapter in the Book of Daniel, we learn a lot about the unseen battle we face daily. Our struggle is never against flesh and blood;(Eph 6:12); we are in A constant struggle with spiritual beings. 

We wrestle against:

Principalities: (The principal, chief magistrate)

Powers: (“exousia” meaning one who possesses authority or influence)

Rulers of the darkness of this age: (kosmokrator, Rulers of the present world order which includes the worldly affairs of mankind)

Spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places: epouranios”, also translated as “heavenly places,” refers to the sphere of activity or existence above, in contrast to that of the earth.

 Spirit of Delay:

Most delays are caused because Satan works to hinder us. Satan will continue to hinder things in our lives until we gird up and take back everything he has stolen from us. The apostle Paul was hindered as he tried to reach the brethren in Thessalonica.

 1 Thessalonians 2:17-18 AMP

But since we were taken away from you, believers, for a little while—in person, but not in heart—we endeavored, with great longing to see you face to face. For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again [wanted to come], but Satan hindered us.

Opposition from human vessels:

Satan will use willing human vessels (satanic agents) to oppose the work of God. When Ezra and Nehemiah began to work, Sanballat and Tobiah were stirred up to hinder them. Despite the satanic opposition, the people still had A heart to work.

In this hour, we will need A heart that is willing to stand and seek understanding from GOD to continue to do the work in which God has called us to do. When Nehemiah was opposed, he continued praying to GOD, while Daniel was fasting, he was persistent in prayer; these men both had A made-up mind/heart. Although the Apostle Paul faced satanic opposition, he finished the course. He completed everything GOD called him to do; he also had A made-up mind. 

2 Timothy 4:7

I have fought the good and worthy and noble fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith [firmly guarding the gospel against error]. 

In closing, now it’s time to gird up for war; use your spiritual weapons and the authority you have through Jesus Christ to stand up against the satanic host that’s warring against your prayers, blessings, breakthroughs, and restorations. 

The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy, but Jesus came to give us an abundant life; our life should be full and overflowing. (John 10:10 AMP) God calls us to stay in persistent prayer and fasting to break the spiritual forces of delay, hindrance, and stagnation. Most of all, remember your war is in the heavenlies heavenly host are working against us night and day. Let us not forget we have the victory through Jesus to win this spiritual war. God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ; we are called to lay hold the promises of God. 

 How to overcome satanic opposition/delay:

 1. Remain steadfast: 1 Corinthians 15:58 AMP, Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose].

 2. Remain Fervent in Prayer & Fasting: James 5:16 AMP

   Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].

3. Fear not and fight:  Nehemiah 4:14 AMP

When I saw their fear, I stood and said to the nobles and officials and the rest of the people: “Do not be afraid of them[confidently] remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and [with courage from Him] fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and for your homes.”

My prayer for you all: 

Ask God to teach your hands to war and your fingers to fight: 

Psalms 144:1 Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my great strength, Who trains my hands for war And my fingers for battle;’

Submit to God, yield to his Spirit, and Obey him: 

James 4:7 

Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 

Pray for A sober mind, Pray for discernment and wisdom from God: 

1 Peter 5:8-9

‘Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] ‘

May God keep and bless you all!

The Fast that Pleases God

Posted on by tanprelow

Isaiah 58:5Is a fast such as this what I have chosen, a day for a man to humble himself [with sorrow in his soul]? Is it only to bow down his head like a reed And to make sackcloth and ashes as a bed [pretending to have a repentant heart]? Do you call this a fast and a day pleasing to the Lord? ‘

As born-again believers, fasting is essential to our spiritual lives. Fasting is beneficial; rather, it is a full or partial fast; the key is setting your heart/face to seek God. There are certain types of fasts, but as we seek God, we want to embark on a fast that is pleasing to the Lord. As stated in the above scripture, there is such A fast that is pleasing to the Lord. God has given us his key to effective fasting; let us read Isaiah 58 to understand the proper fast in which the Lord delights.

What is fasting?Fasting is the discipline or practice of abstaining from or eating very little food for biblical reasons. The KJV translates Strong’s H6684 in the following manner: root; to cover over (the mouth) In short, fasting is the act of refraining from or not eating very little food; during A fast, the goal is to place A cover over the mouth.

Always approach fasting with humility. Fasting must be genuine and not religious or hypocritical. God wants us to do all things with the correct motives, including fasting. During your fast, it should be A time of examining your heart and repenting.

Types of fast: As we notice, fasting is to abstain from food; several people may fast from: TV, the internet, social media, etc. to abstain from these things aren’t bad. However, to fast biblically means to abstain from food.

  • Full Fasts: Complete fast with or without drinks and completely no food.
  • Partial Fasts: Abstaining from food for A certain amount of time. A partial fast can include some food such as vegetables and can be done for long lengths.

Why should we fast? Fasting draws us near to God. God is not interested in our outward show; instead, he looks at our hearts. When we draw nigh to God, he will draw near to us James 4:8 There are several biblical reasons for fasting, some reasons are in Isaiah 58:

To undo the bonds of wickedness: God wants to break/lose the band (fetter) of wickedness & iniquity in our lives. Are you or someone you know bound by sin? Scripture tells us that when we are bound by sin, we are servants and slaves to sin John 8:34. Romans 6:16 rather its pornography, masturbation, alcoholism, adultery, lying, fornication, or any besetting sin, GOD wants to set you free. You may need to incorporate fasting with your prayers for your complete breakthrough and revival.

To undo the heavy burdens: God wants to remove and violently shake/tear off the heavy yokes/bands of burdens weighing us down. A burden is something that is carried. Such as A load. A burden can be: False responsibilities; burdens are typically something oppressive and worrisome A heavy burden of guilt, A financial burden, or simply us trying to bear the load for someone. Let us read what Jesus says about these burdens:

  • Matthew 11:29-30 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

To let the oppressed go free and break apart every enslaving yoke: Fasting will set those free who are oppressed, bruised, broken, and discouraged in their spirits. The spirit of oppression is like that of A broken vessel; it weighs you down in your body and mind. If you’re feeling: sad, anxiety, moodiness, hopelessness, or any suicidal tendencies, you’re dealing with A spirit of oppression (depression). Scripture tells us to put on the garment of praise in exchange for this spirit. As you begin to praise the Lord, oppression will begin to lift. When you add fasting and prayer, you will have the anointing to destroy every yoke of oppression.

Results of A Godly fast: Isaiah 58:8-12

  • Fasting can cause your light to spring forth. The Holy Spirit provides illumination; we need this illumination to make all things clear. When the light of Christ comes forth, darkness must flee.
  • Fasting brings good health and wholeness quickly; it can break the power of sickness and infirmity.
  • Our righteousness will go before us, leading us to peace and prosperity.
  • Fasting releases God’s Glory and protection; the Glory of the Lord will be our rereward. God’s Glory will cover us as A defense.
  • Fasting can result in answered prayer when we call; the Lord will answer, if we cry, he will say, “hear I am.” Once we take away from our midst, the yoke of oppression we place on others, the finger (accusing others), and the tongue that speaks evil. Examine your heart!
  • When we offer ourselves to assist the hungry (spiritually and physically) and satisfy the afflicted (distressed, tormented), our light will rise in the darkness. Our gloom will become like the noonday. When we become selfless servants in God’s kingdom, all of these things will be added unto us because we are seeking his kingdom first.

‘Isaiah 58:11-12 And the Lord will continually guide you, And satisfy your soul in scorched and dry places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. And your people will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up and restore the age-old foundations [of buildings that have been laid waste]; You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. ‘

There are many benefits and breakthroughs when we incorporate fasting with our prayers. Prayer and fasting help us to clear the obstacles to our faith and faith-filled actions. It has been said that fasting is “super-charged prayer.” The flesh has primary needs or desires for food. Our need for food is dominant. Quoted from book

These natural desires are valid but can quickly become too intense (A snare, lust, inordinate, or gluttony), dominating us. Fasting is A way to assert control over the flesh where it counts. Fasting, coupled with prayer, is one of the most powerful weapons to your breakthrough. To overcome those besetting sins or draw near God, I encourage you to fast and pray for breakthrough.

I’ve written A sample prayer for when you begin your fast. God is waiting to hear from us. Seek God while there is still time and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into the fast that pleases GOD.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank you for your chosen fast according to your word in ISA 58. Father, I enter into this fast seeking your Divine intervention seeking you wholeheartedly to know your will for my life. I am praying and fasting this day for (whatever you’re fasting for) Father; I pray that you will give me A broken heart over my sins. Remove every desire to do my own will or my pleasures during this time of fasting. I ask that you give me A heart of fasting, not one that is fasting to be seen of men but YOU.

I come before you to humble myself with sorrow in my soul. Father, I pray that every band of wickedness will be loosed, all heavy burdens will be undone, and that you break every yoke in my life in Jesus’s name. Father set people Free who are oppressed by heavy burdens and those who are troubled mentally or physically (anxiety).

Lord, fill me with your unselfish love, teach me how to love you with my whole heart, and love others unselfishly. Help me seek the best for others during this time of fasting lead me to those who cannot help themselves both physically and spiritually. Lord, help me be available to my own family’s needs and help the poor and needy as led by your Spirit. Father, I seal these prayers in the blood of Jesus, believing that these words will not return void according to your word. Thank you, father, in advance for your answered prayers, and I believe it is done in Jesus’s name AMEN!

Make your petition and request known to God. What are you seeking and believing God for according to his word/will? 2nd Chronicles 7:14

God Bless!

Cultivating Bitterness

Posted on by tanprelow

Hebrews 12:15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of Bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;’

Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor [perpetual animosity, resentment, strife, fault-finding] and slander be put away from you, along with every kind of malice [all spitefulness, verbal abuse, malevolence]. ‘

Bitterness is A root of poisonous (toxic, venomous, evil) fruit that defiles many. Since it is A root spirit, it is hard to recognize this on the surface. A person with Bitterness in their heart can defile many unknowingly. Bitterness is a typical door the enemy uses, unknowingly to most Bitterness is being cultivated in the hearts of many. 

Cultivate Defined: To prepare or prepare and use for the raising of crops., To foster the growth of something. 

Bitterness Defined: A deep-seated ill will (spite, grudge, the desire to see another experience pain, injury, or distress)

Cultivating Bitterness means to foster the growth of the poisonous fruit of Bitterness in the heart; this is evil fruit, and it is designed to corrupt many. Jesus warned us it’s not what goes in that defiles us, but what comes from the heart. 

  • Matthew 15:11,18-19 It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that defiles and dishonors him, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles and dishonors him.” But whatever [word] comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what defiles and dishonors the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts and plans, murders, adulteries, sexual immoralities, thefts, false testimonies, slanders (verbal abuse, irreverent speech, blaspheming). ‘

In the scripture above (Heb 12:15), we are warned about Bitterness springing up and causing trouble. When something springs up, it grows/appears suddenly (seemingly overnight). This shows the danger of opening the door for the spirit of Bitterness. At the most unexpected time, the spirit of Bitterness (which has been cultivating/growing) in the heart will spring up and cause trouble. Along with this spirit is Resentment lets define resentment and understand how this takes root. 

Resentment Defined: a feeling of indignant displeasure or persistent ill will at something regarded as a wrong, insult, or injury.

The spirit of offense and resentment – Proverbs 18:19 A brother offended is harder to win over than a fortified city, And contentions [separating families] are like the bars of a castle. ‘

There are (especially in these last days), several instances where individuals are hurt by A fellow brother or sister in Christ. Any hurt, presumption, wound, or distrust can open the door for the spirit of offense. The goal of the spirit of offense is to cause disunity. (Disharmony in the body of Christ is the plan of the enemy) remember he comes to steal kill and destroy. 

Jesus warned us in the last days (due to persecution) many will be offended by their association with him. Because of this, many will fall away from their faith in Jesus. As A Result, this will open the door for betrayal, persecution, and hatred against the saints. Matthew 24:10-14

If you know someone who is offended, advise them to pray, forgive, and reconcile. It is A dangerous thing to harbor an offense as it leads to Bitterness and resentment. Ultimately, the person who continues to walk in A spirit of offense will begin to operate in criticisms, scornfulness, and resentment. Be careful; you do not want to walk, stand, or sit in the scornful seat. Guard your heart against everyone operating in A spirit of offense. 

  • Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;’

 Bitterness is progressive; it starts with un-forgiveness; the spirit of un-forgiveness keeps every detail and hurt in our lives by using memory recall. When we replay past hurts or incidents in our minds, the most trivial events are neither forgiven nor forgotten. Since these incidents are continually replaying in the individual’s mind, it brings forth spirits of resentment, anger, and hatred. Bitterness is also the result of rejection, which is connected to stubbornness; most people who are bitter refuse to forgive. They feel justified to harbor resentment. 

The goal of the enemy is to get us to operate in Bitterness, when we are bitter, we automatically lose the spiritual battle against the kingdom of darkness. When we operate in Bitterness, we have given place to the devil; from this one doorway, we can be led into sin. 

  • Ephesians 4:27 AMP And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating Bitterness].

The flow of love: The love of God is sacrificial; God loved the world that he GAVE his only begotten son. If we are operating in A spirit of Bitterness, we no longer impart life to others; instead, we impart death. 1st Corinthians 13 implies Godly love is not resentful. We cannot have a love of God flowing out of our vessel if it is defiled by Bitterness. A bitter heart makes you give to get; it only is looking out for SELF.

Since Bitterness is A root spirit, we can imply the manifestations of the spirit of Bitterness will spring up unexpectedly, let’s look at some of the signs of the spirit of Bitterness:

  • Resentment
  • Hatred
  • Un-forgiveness
  • Violence 
  • Temper
  • Anger James 1:20 for the [resentful, deep-seated] anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God [that standard of behavior which He requires from us].
  • Retaliation (These spirits advocate returning evil for evil. Retaliation is not biblical as we know vengeance belongs to the Lord)
  • Murder 
  • Cursing

Someone who is nurturing resentment in their heart results typically in the occult/witchcraft. Because of their offenses, hurt, wounds, etc., some people will begin to operate in the flesh (in which we understand witchcraft is A work of the flesh). Operating via A spirit of control, intimidation, or manipulation to get your will accomplished is witchcraft. Many have gone down this road because of their sin of Bitterness. 

How to overcome the toxic spirit of Bitterness: 

Forgiveness is the key; when we forgive, we are to let go of the wrong that was done to us and the resentment. As we want our heavenly Father to forgive us, we should forgive others. 

When we forgive, this brings A release in our lives, and God wants us to release the person to go further into freedom. 

  • Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors [letting go of both the wrong and the resentment]. ‘
  • Matthew 6:14 For if you forgive others their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins], your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
  • Matthew 6:15 But if you do not forgive others [nurturing your hurt and anger with the result that it interferes with your relationship with God], then your Father will not forgive your trespasses.
  • Mark 11:25 Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him [drop the issue, let it go], so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions and wrongdoings [against Him and others].
  • Colossians 3:13 bearing graciously with one another, and willingly forgiving each other if one has a cause for complaint against another; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so should you forgive.

It is time to allow Jesus to cleanse our temple and deliver us from everything that is not like him. If there is anyone you need to forgive, release them, and let it go. Bitterness is toxic and poisonous to our health, let’s destroy this evil fruit of Bitterness and begin to plant good fruit in our lives. I pray for deliverance for those who are bound by Bitterness in Jesus’ name! 

With Love, Tanicia

Allow Jesus to cleanse your temple

Posted on by tanprelow

John 2:14-16 And in the temple [enclosure] He found the people who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting at their tables. He made a whip of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; then to those who sold the doves He said, “Take these things away! Stop making My Father’s house a place of commerce!” ‘

Matthew 21:12-13 And Jesus entered the temple [grounds] and drove out [with force] all who were buying and selling [birds and animals for sacrifice] in the temple area, and He turned over the tables of the moneychangers [who made a profit exchanging foreign money for temple coinage] and the chairs of those who were selling doves [for sacrifice]. Jesus said to them, “It is written [in Scripture], ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer’; but you are making it a robbers’ den.” ‘

After reading the above incidents where Jesus cleansed the temple, we can infer that Jesus had A righteous indignation. The temple was defiled and had become A den of thieves and robbers. Imagine the look on the people’s face when he rose with the whip and drove them out WITH FORCE! Jesus made it clear the temple was to be a house of prayer. 

Authority: The Jews retorted and began to question what sign (miracle) can he show as proof for the authority by which he does these things”? Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple (the physical temple) and in three days I will raise it up (He was speaking of the temple which was his body). Jesus’ resurrection from the dead was proof that He had the authority to cleanse the temple.

The cleansing of the temple 

There were two occasions where Jesus cleansed the temple during his earthly ministry. The first cleansing took place during the spring of A.D. 28. At the beginning of his earthly ministry. By this, his authority was declared, this also announced his mission as the Messiah at Passover.

The second cleansing occurred three years later at the end of His public ministry, at the fourth Passover just after His triumphal entry into Jerusalem the last week of His life (Matt. 21:12–17; Mark 11:15–19: Luke 19:45–48.)

There were times where the temple in ancient Israel had become defiled as well. When Hezekiah succeeded Ahaz in Judah, he began to consecrate the house of the Lord, where he began to cleanse and repair the temple every unclean thing was removed from the house of the Lord and put out for disposal.

  • 2 Chronicles 29:16 ‘The priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord to cleanse it, and every unclean thing they found in the temple of the Lord they brought out to the courtyard of the Lord’ s house. Then the Levites received it to take out to the Kidron Valley [for disposal]. ‘

Our temple: 

We are the temple of the living God; Jesus is cleansing our temple just as he did during his earthly ministry. Our temples are defiled as well by sin and uncleanliness. Jesus wants to clean the spiritual thieves out of our temple with force. Will you allow Jesus to make you whole? 

  • 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ‘Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]? You were bought with a price [you were actually purchased with the precious blood of Jesus and made His own]. So then, honor and glorify God with your body.’
  • 1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

If Jesus was upset about the pollution of the temple during his earthly ministry, we could only think about how he feels about our temples. When we turn from the living GOD to idols (sports, pornography, money, fame, success, etc.), this defiles our temple. Our temple should have no agreement with Idols, God wants to dwell in us and walk among us he wants to be our God, and we are called to be His people (2ndCorinthians 6:16)

It is easy to be led by our pleasure and carnal desires instead of the Spirit of the Living GOD. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin and uncleanliness, yet many have not received the free offer of salvation. We have to yield to the Spirit of God and allow him to shine his light on the dark areas in our lives. Sanctification is necessary as we continue in our daily lives as Born-again believers. If we walk in the light (in obedience to God’s word), the blood of Jesus will keep us cleansed from all manifestations of sin. 

A House of Prayer: 

Our temples should also be A house of prayer, and prayer builds our communication with God. We are to devote ourselves in prayer while being watchful and thankful (Col 4:2). We are called to present our requests to God by prayer and petition with thanksgiving (Phil 4:6). Our temples should also offer prayers of intercession, forgiveness, salvation and praise, and adoration. We should offer prayers continually to our heavenly father; our prayers are like A sweet-smelling aroma (Rev 8:3-4)

The blood of Jesus cleanses us: 

As I shared earlier, Jesus bought the church with his blood, he sacrificed himself once and for all and entered into the Holy of Holies (Heavenly places) he presented himself to God our father as an eternal sacrifice for our sins. Jesus has now reconciled all things to himself by making peace through his blood that he shed on the cross. In Jesus, we now have redemption through his blood and the forgiveness of sins. The blood of Jesus cleanses our consciences from dead works so that we may serve the living God; this is good news. Since we are to be vessels of prayer, we can now enter the Most Holy Place via prayer by the blood of Jesus. 

Thank God for the gift of salvation and the gift of his precious Holy Spirit! I pray that you will abstain from every form of evil withdraw and keep away from it, I pray that the God of peace will sanctify you through and through and separate you from profane, vulgar and unclean things that defile your temple. Allow God to make you pure and whole, undamaged, and consecrated to him allow God to set you apart for his purpose lets all be found blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1st Thess 5:22-23)

Additional Scriptures to Meditate on:

  • Psalm 51:2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
  • 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
  • Psalm 51:7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
  • Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
  • Ezekiel 36:25 Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.

If you have not accepted Jesus as Lord, begin to pray and invite him into your life. He is waiting to hear from you; he has already sacrificed himself for you, he bought you with A precious price. Jesus is knocking now is the time to answer. Will you allow Jesus to cleanse you and make you whole? If you have just received Jesus into your life, please email us at ministryoftruth41@gmail.com

The Spirit Of Whoredom

“My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.” – Hosea‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭ We all know what whoredom is in the physical since, but what exactly is “the spirit of whoredom“?

Turn up The Light (Part I)

Posted on by tanprelow
  • John 8:12 Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, “I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
  • Luke 2:32 A Light for revelation to the Gentiles [to disclose what was previously unknown], And [to bring] the praise and honor and glory of Your people Israel.”

These scriptures are very timely for the time and season we are currently in, we understand that Jesus is The Light. He shines amid great darkness. “The Light” means to shine or make manifest G5457. “The Darkness” G4653 means something dim (shadowy, faint) or obscure (dark, hidden, hazy). Darkness is also the current world in which we live, and this world is immersed in sin and everything that is opposed to biblical truth. Here’s A few facts about “The Darkness”:

  • Darkness cannot appropriate (overtake, usurp) the Light
  • Darkness cannot absorb (occupy, understand) the Light
  • Darkness is UN-receptive (not responsive & UN-receivable) to the Light.

We (Born Again Christians) are to be A light during great darkness. In these end-times, darkness (misery, destruction, ignorance, wickedness) shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people. The Lord (Jehovah) will arise upon his saints, and his glory shall be seen (manifest) upon us ISA 60:2. GOD is calling us to Turn Up The Light! Light will always expose darkness; we should not agree with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove (rebuke, expose) darkness.

Now is the time to turn from the kingdom of darkness to the marvelous and true Light of Christ.Turn up the Light of Christ in your life via fasting, prayer, reading the bible daily, and cultivating A relationship with our heavenly father. He is waiting to hear from you (and I). As we see the gross darkness covering the people, we should run to the only one who can save us from destruction, JESUS Christ!

ISA 42:6 “I am the Lord, I have called You in righteousness,I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You,And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people,As a light to the nations,

John 12:46 I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

John 3:19-21 AMP ‘This is the judgment [that is, the cause for indictment, the test by which people are judged, the basis for the sentence]: the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

For every wrongdoer hates the Light, and does not come to the Light [but shrinks from it] for fear that his [sinful, worthless] activities will be exposed and condemned. But whoever practices truth [and does what is right—morally, ethically, spiritually] comes to the Light, so that his works may be plainly shown to be what they are—accomplished in God [divinely prompted, done with God’s help, in dependence on Him].

“Stay Tuned As we study further on this topic! In the meantime, saints and non-saints alike, it’s time to turn up the Light!

Tune in to the Study: Turn Up The Light

God Bless,

The End-time Rebellion

Posted on by tanprelow

2nd Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one in any way deceive or entrap you, for that day will not come unless the apostasy comes first [that is, the great rebellion, the abandonment of the faith by professed Christians], and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction [the Antichrist, the one who is destined to be destroyed],

2nd Thessalonians 2:7-8 For the mystery of lawlessness [rebellion against divine authority and the coming reign of lawlessness] is already at work; [but it is restrained] only until he who now restrains it is taken out of the way. Then the lawless one [the Antichrist] will be revealed, and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of His mouth and bring him to an end by the appearance of His coming.

In the scripture above, the Apostle Paul provides A few proceedings that are prophesied to happen before Jesus Second Coming:

  • There will be A falling away = A great Rebellion against the Christian faith by professed Christians.
  • The Anti-Christ (the man of lawlessness) will be revealed, and he will demand worship
  • A mystery of Iniquity (lawlessness) (Rebellion against divine authority and the coming reign of lawlessness)

Continually listed in these scriptures are the words: Rebellion, and lawlessness. An Apostasy is a rebellion against God Almighty and His Son, Jesus Christ. This reveals there will be (in these end times) professing Christians with A spirit of rebellion. There will also be A rebellious uprising against God, our Father.

Rebellion defined: Rebellion is Opposition to one in authority or dominance. A refusal of obedience of order, an open resistance against established authority.

  • Romans 13:1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God [granted by His permission and sanction], and those which exist have been put in place by God.

Divine Authority: God has an established order, In the Bible, God outlines authority structures which provide direction for the family, church, workplace, and government.  Let us focus on two authority structures the family and the church.

In recent “worldly” events, we’ve noticed an uprising/revolt of rebellion against police(requesting to defund the police), local governors and etc. While the protestors in the street scream against social injustice, God has shown me A different view regarding these riots. These individuals aren’t upset with the President, or police brutality; instead, they are rebelling against GOD the Father. These are fatherless children who have past hurts, offenses, and disappointments from their earthly Father. Since these offenses have not been adequately resolved, it causes lawlessness and rebellion against ALL authority.

In the family, the correct structure is God>Jesus>Husband>Wife>Children. God entrusts husbands with the leadership of the family unit. A husband is to love his wife as he loves himself. A wife is to submit to the leadership of her husband, coming alongside him as a helpmate. Parents are responsible for training their children, and children are to honor and obey their parents. (See Ephesians 5:21–6:4 and Proverbs 6:20–21.) When this order is correct, it usually flows from the home to the local church. (This is God’s design)

  • 1 Timothy 3:1-2,4-5 Now an overseer must be blameless and beyond reproach, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, sensible, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, This is a faithful and trustworthy saying: if any man [eagerly] seeks the office of overseer (bishop, superintendent), he desires an excellent task. 4-5 He must manage his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity [keeping them respectful and well-behaved] (for if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?). ‘

Although this is God’s design, it has been turned upside down. It happened in the garden with Adam and Eve and is prevalent in the home today. Not following God’s will has led to fatherless, broken homes, and broken children. This is expressed in rebellion and lawlessness against all authority, even in the church. When we think of the great falling away, we picture someone leaving the church or faith for atheism or A false belief  (which is true), but the root cause seems to come from A spirit of rebellion. We must remember rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, if we are led by A rebellious spirit, we’ve now opened the door to witchcraft.

The rebellious home & The rebellious church: The incorrect Order in the (disobedient) household is: Jezebel>Wife>Husband> Children this is A perverted order, and it always leads to A Matriarchal Society this society will always rebel against Gods true prophets. Which is why we will see A End-time rebellion even in the church. The issue starts in the home, but if it isn’t set in God’s correct order, it will flow into the local church. As we look at the “Professing “Christian” church, we can clearly see this perverted order in Operation.

 Mostly all sin and corruption in our society roots from the loss of Godly love from our earthly fathers. As a result, we see an uprising against all authority, including God.

Read the following Article: The Spirit of Jezebel Fatherless

The Spirit of Rebellion and The Jezebel spirit: Our battle is never against flesh & blood (EPH 6), so although we experience our hurt from humans, we must understand these vessels are/were under the influence of an evil spirit. Some spirits that are associated with the Spirit of Rebellion are:

  • Anti-submissiveness: “Not willing to submit or yield to the authority of another”
  • Selfishness: “concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself: seeking or concentrating on one’s own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others.”
  • Unteachable: “Unable to be taught.”
  • Hatred of Authority: “Extreme dislike or disgust for authority.”

The spirit of rebellion is also associated with the Jezebel spirit along with female dominance, witchcraft, control, this Jezebel spirit Operates through A curse destroying God’s order and the family priesthood. This is the primary goal. As A Result, We currently have A society that has been rooted in rebellion and in defiance against authority.

Our rightful place as Christian believers is to seek God and have him restore our souls. It doesn’t matter what hurt, pain, offense, or broken hearts we’ve experienced. Our role is to forgive. We must forgive to heal.

  • Ezekiel 18:1-4 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying, “What do you mean by using this proverb concerning the land of Israel, ‘The fathers eat sour grapes [they sin], But the children’s teeth are set on edge’? As I live,” says the Lord God, “you are certainly not going to use this proverb [as an excuse] in Israel anymore. Behold (pay close attention), all souls are Mine; the soul of the Father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul who sins will die.

We are (I believe) in A season of restoration, God is restoring the hearts of the Fathers and children. He is turning the hearts of the children back to the fathers, he is doing A quick and mighty work in these end-times. God is calling his children to A deeper, more intimate relationship with him, but we must deal with these root issues. Dealing with these issues will remove all barriers that hinder us from growing closer to our heavenly Father.

  • James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
  • Hebrews 12:9 Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not much more submit to the Father of our spirits and live?
  • Psalm 68:5-6 A father of the fatherless and a judge and protector of the widows, Is God in His holy habitation. God makes a home for the lonely; He leads the prisoners into prosperity, Only the stubborn and rebellious dwell in a parched land. ‘
