USE 5 POWERFUL WEAPONS FOR OUR

CHURCH TO OVERCOME.

note: This is also a gang of 7 spirits working as a team to

destroy churches

1.SPIRIT OF DIVISION AND FACTION1Corinthians 12:25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 2Corinthians 12:20For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.

2.SPIRIT OF REBELLION TO AUTHORITY

1Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king."

3.SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL: CONTROLING THE MAN OF GOD1Kings 21:25 (There was never a man like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the eyes of the LORD, urged on by Jezebel his wife. 1Kings 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." 1Kings 19:3 Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there,

4.SPIRIT OF GOSSIPProverbs 16:28 A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends. 3John 1:9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will have nothing to do with us. 3John 1:10 So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping maliciously about us. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.

5.SPIRIT OF PESIMISM, COMPLAINING AND GRUMBLING

Jude 1:16 These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.

John 6:57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. John 6:58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever." John 6:59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

John 6:60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?“

John 6:61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you?

6.SPIRIT OF WORLDLINESS AND MATERIALISM1John 2:15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1John 2:16 For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world. 1John 2:17 The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

7.SPIRIT OF PRAYERLESSNES1Samuel 12:23 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right. Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. note: 20 hr Prayer Chain starts tomorrow.
