238 Angel <strong>of</strong> Light<br />
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
