1 Samuel 28:5&20 When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror filled his heart. Saul quickly fell full length on the ground and was very afraid because of Samuel’s words. He was completely drained of energy, having not eaten anything all that day and night. “The spirit of fear” Spirit of fear is a tormenting spirit. In a spiritual attack, the first attack is on our mind. Fear is the fiery dart from hell that creates a crevice for dread, disease or deficit to creep in. The spirit of fear intrudes unwelcomed and controls our thinking and talking. Fear blurs our spiritual...

2 Chronicles 18:21 ‘I will go and be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,’ he said. “The spirit of deception” The spirit of deception is like a sweet dish laced with deadly poison. Like a slithering snake deception has crept into the world and has permeated into every walk of life. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth but the spirit of error/(lies) is the spirit of antichrist that sows disbelief, discord and dissension. Anyone who rejects the truth – the resurrection of Christ, and the redemption of sins through His blood, is controlled by the spirit of deception. We...

James 3:16 “For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there will also be disorder and wickedness of every kind.” “The spirit of offense” The spirit of offense is in operation when someone feels wronged and/or disrespected, and harbors unforgiveness, animosity and resentment in their heart. Offense is fueled by envy and ego which is lethal, demonic and noxious. It destroys homes, marriages and relationships. Cain killed his brother Abel when the vicious spirit of offense took hold of him, filling his heart with envy and animosity. He was envious as his brother’s offering was accepted and his ego burned with rage when the Lord...

1 Samuel 30:1-2 David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it, and had taken captive the women and everyone else in it, both young and old. “The spirit of Amalek” The Amalekites were a descendant of Amalek the grandson of Esau (Genesis 36:16). They were a nomadic race and cousins of the Israelites, yet the arch-rivals of Israel. They attacked them when they were vulnerable, fatigued and unguarded.  Remember what the Amalekites did to you along the way when you came out of...

1 Kings 19:2 So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.” “The spirit of Jezebel” The spirit of Jezebel operates in men and women. The distinct characteristics of the spirit of Jezebel are perversion, proliferation of false prophecies and persecution of the saints. It is an intimidating spirit that exerts itself through witchcraft, abuse of power and control. To understand the spirit of Jezebel we must delve deeper into the life...

Exodus 1:13-14 “So the Egyptians worked the Israelites ruthlessly. They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their harsh labor the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly”. “The spirit of Pharaoh” Another deadly spirit that attacks the children of God is the spirit of Pharaoh. It is a coldblooded, harsh and brutal spirit. The evil force that operates through this oppressing spirit is ‘jealousy’ and ‘demonic envy’. “But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites” (vs 12)....

1 Samuel 17:43-44 He(Goliath) said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!”. “The spirit of Goliath” The first step to victory in spiritual warfare is to recognize the spirit that is attacking us. The person who is tormenting, persecuting and inflicting pain is only a puppet in the hands of the evil spirit that controls them. So, attack the demon inside the person to deflate the puppet. Our battle is with the...
