The Reigning Spirit
May 11, 2018
The spirit that reigns over people individually and corporately creates the lense they see through.
It is a major contributing factor that affects what people say and do.
This is how a person can prophesy from their own heart and intent because "THEY REIGN"
Lying and familiar spirits speak because they reign in and over a person or group.
These spirits have less room to operate based on ones submission to the LORD, Word, and the Authority of Authentic Kingdom Leadership.
A full yielding to God allows for a full release of His Glory and for His Word to be spoken and heard.
When wrong motives and pride are crushed the purity of the prophetic increases.
Whole groups of people can come to the same perverted, twisted, crooked conclusion when it is not Governed by the Holy Spirit.
Just look at how the religious spirit, pride and criticalness caused all the Pharisees to label Christ improperly.
Oh, but it was the majority so they must be right.
Not when it is a majority that is prideful, merciless, arrogant, dishonorable and above the law.
There was another spirit in operation even though they proclaimed the Name of God.
Rebellion and pride fosters a familiar spirit that sounds good only to the group it functions in.
To the obedient, humble and discerned, this operation is a foul stench.
This kind of spirit speaks in a way to those in its grip to empower them to remain disobedient and unloyal to the Lord and Leadership.
Although it can sound spiritual, it produces the fruit of rebellion in others.
Individuals in this kind of environment never find the fruit of humility, peace, meekness and obedience with this type of spirit.
There are always factions within and factions without.
If it gives face as being obedient, it is only a momentary pretense. It is to get what it wants from a person positioned in power and authority.
The spirit in operation is the spirit of disobedience and it hides in the core of the heart.
Entire groups of deemed prophetic people can prophesy by the same spirit and it can sound like LORD because of the unity, but it may not be the Lord at all.
1 Kings 18 Elijah with false prophets on Mt. Carmel
1 Kings 22:22-23 with Micaiah and lying spirits
Jeremiah 28 with Hananiah false prophecy.
The most charismatic individuals can mesmerize people with charm and false prophecy when motives are self driven instead of being Holy Spirit led.
We must return to a true Holy Spirit inspired unction and operation where it is the Lord in the vessel crying out and not just man crying out in the Name of the Lord.
2Peter 1:21
King James Bible
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
SAINTS, BE A FRUIT INSPECTOR AND TEST EVERY SPIRIT!
