ginning <strong>of</strong> wisdom. The word fear is translated literally “afraid.” It is<br />

more than just reverence or respect. Jesus confirmed this when he<br />

said not to fear the one that can only kill your body, but be afraid <strong>of</strong> the<br />

one that can kill your body <strong>and</strong> throw you into hell (Matthew 10:28).<br />

John the Apostle was in his old age <strong>and</strong> still fell on his face before the<br />

living Christ when he appeared to John on the isle <strong>of</strong> Patmos (Revelation<br />

1:17). On the other h<strong>and</strong> Judas Iscariot thought nothing <strong>of</strong> dipping<br />

his h<strong>and</strong> in the same bread sauce with the king on the night <strong>of</strong> the betrayal<br />

(Matthew 26:23). Judas had become familiar with the Lord <strong>and</strong><br />

no longer feared him in a healthy way. Uzzah was struck dead while<br />

touching the ark as it was falling because the Ox stumbled (2Sam 6).<br />

Uzzah was presumptuous in thinking that God needed his help in<br />

steadying his glory. This spirit will cause people to not really have a<br />

healthy respect for God’s anointed servants. This spirit will also hate<br />

preaching against sin unless it is in a legalistic sort <strong>of</strong> way. Also since<br />

Christ can be translated “anointed one,” we can see this spirit is an<br />

anti­anointing spirit that opposes revivals <strong>and</strong> God’s anointed servants.<br />

It is the spirit that stirs up sl<strong>and</strong>er <strong>and</strong> resistance against revivals <strong>and</strong><br />

anointed ministries. Last, this spirit will tolerate you talking about Jesus<br />

as a prophet or an actual man who lived, but when you call him God,<br />

that spirit will rise up in protest.<br />

The third spirit that is in this unholy trinity is Jezebel. I may list her<br />

third, but she is probably the main power house in this trinity <strong>of</strong> evil.<br />

Jezebel will try to control. This is why many revivals have failed. When<br />

man tries to control God out <strong>of</strong> fear or pride, the end <strong>of</strong> the moving <strong>of</strong><br />

the Holy Spirit is near. When these three spirits are at work, it literally<br />

forms something like a python snake that tries to suffocate the presence<br />

<strong>of</strong> God out <strong>and</strong> bring spiritual death. I have been in churches that<br />

God wouldn’t move no matter what. The people didn’t want God to<br />

move, they only wanted their tradition, politics, or prestige. People <strong>and</strong><br />

churches that are in bondage to this spirit will be critical <strong>of</strong> the revivals<br />

that are going on. They will be quick to judge what they do not underst<strong>and</strong>.<br />

There is usually a certain way they believe things ought to be,<br />

<strong>and</strong> if you oppose that, they will sl<strong>and</strong>er you for it. Remember Pharisees<br />

will kill over their religion! This Pharisee stronghold is best described<br />

as a python that seeks to kill revival in individuals, families,<br />

churches, <strong>and</strong> large people groups.<br />

Three fold cord <strong>of</strong> satanic attack<br />

The enemy uses a threefold plan to oppose the people <strong>of</strong> God. It is<br />

temptation, deception, <strong>and</strong> accusation. I want to discuss the three.<br />

Temptation is the weakest <strong>of</strong> all satanic attacks, even though a babe in<br />

Christ will consider it the strongest. In 1 John 2:16 we read about the<br />

lust <strong>of</strong> the flesh, the lust <strong>of</strong> the eyes, <strong>and</strong> the pride <strong>of</strong> life. These are
