The spirit of counterfeit
Pretending to be an angel of
light causing great deception to people
And no wonder For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light (2
Corinthians 11:14 NKJV)
Therefore it is no great thing if
his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness whose
end will be according to their works (2 Corinthians 11:15 NKJV)
This spirit pretends to be the
Holy Spirit to deceive people The spirit of counterfeit is behind heresies and
false religions causing people to think they are receiving revelation from God
Once the evil spirit establishes a stronghold of heresy or false religion in
the heart it is easy for people to resist the gospel The meaning of Lachish is
fortress difficult to conquer The spirit of counterfeit often attacks brothers
and sisters who are not well grounded in the truth and it is often accompanied
by traits of arrogance, self righteousness and pride.
In the name of
Jesus, pull out Japhia, the
king of Narach, from the black hole of Makkedah in my life, pull out
this blind spirit,
trample on the neck of this blind spirit, in the name of Jesus, take up the
sword of the Holy Spirit, cut off and break all the spirits that shine the
light on themselves, are self-focused, and often only look at themselves. This
self-focused spirit, in the name of Jesus, comes to cut off and break, Lord, we
also confess and repent to You.
Concept:
"Counterfeit spirits" use other people's names or brand names to disguise themselves as angels of light, which greatly confuses people; behind heresies and paganism are counterfeit spirits, which make people think that they are receiving revelations from God. Once evil spirits establish a heresy or pagan camp in people's hearts, it is easy for people to resist the gospel, so the meaning of Lachish is "strong and difficult to attack." "Counterfeit spirits" often pretend to be "the presence of God" and mislead victims under the cover of this curtain. The word "counterfeit" means to replace the real with something fake. Manifestations include: receiving wrong revelations, various failures and desolations, pride, self-centeredness, easy to be offended, confusion, mental disorder, resistance to the gospel, wrong cognition and understanding, narrow-mindedness, easy to compete, etc. In fellowship, worship, and visions, they live completely in a certain "inward" relationship, divorced from reality, resulting in extreme and excessive introspection in the spirit, narrow-minded views on things, and finally paralyzed spiritual and psychological abilities. Some people become victims of the "inner voice". They only listen to the inner voice and regard God as an inner "person". As a result, their minds are completely focused inward, and they pay no attention to the outer character, behavior and actions. In fact, if we only subjectively place God in the position of indwelling, speaking, communicating and guiding from the material or conscious aspect, there is great danger, because the dark forces will use this belief to confuse people.
Counterfeit spirit:
1. Counterfeit
God's voice, presence or guidance;
How do the forces
of darkness pretend to be God's presence? Sometimes we long to feel God's
presence, whether we are alone or in a gathering. At this time, the cunning
enemy may come quietly, wrapping people's consciousness with a comfortable and
attractive feeling, sometimes with light, or causing vibrations in the air.
The person who is
disturbed and harassed usually has a breach of pride and self-righteousness,
and has a thought that he is particularly pleasing to God or extremely special.
God has chosen him and given him a high position in the kingdom, so this person
cannot be humble.
Because of this
hidden self-confidence, he becomes difficult to teach and obey; he cannot
listen to others because others have not received revelation directly from God.
In fact, he cannot listen to the exhortations and discernment of other members
except God (of course, sometimes he will pretend and respond with a false
humble attitude). This person has a special communication "directly with
God", and anyone who doubts the "instructions" he has received
is guilty.
Although this
"instruction" may be contrary to all enlightened judgment, and even
contradicts God's Word and biblical truth, the person must still obey; that is,
when a person is at this stage and thinks he has a command from God, he no
longer uses reason because he thinks it is fleshly to do so. "Common
sense" is a manifestation of lack of faith, and therefore a sin. At this
stage, even "conscience" dare not speak.
The counterfeit
presence of God is often disguised
as love. Believers often take no precautions against it and find that it
quickly fills their inner being, but they do not know that the deepest part of
their inner life is opening the door to the attacks of evil spirits. These give
people a wrong concept of their spiritual condition because they think of
themselves more than they should (Romans 12:3), and as a result, they open the
door to the devil.
2. Counterfeiting
God;
Evil spirits
sometimes use special ways to counterfeit the Lord Jesus to appear to people,
such as the king sitting on the throne, or the image of "bridegroom".
They will also pretend to be dead people and appear to their relatives. Since
they have observed the person before he died and know him well, they can use
some "evidence" to prove their deception.
3. Impersonating
others;
The souls of God's
children are willing to obey God's will, but the goal of evil spirits is to
impersonate God's guidance and induce people's souls to slip away from God's
will.
Satan not only
impersonates God and God's things, but also impersonates people and human
things; for example, impersonating others or saints, and even believers
themselves. The "others" it impersonates may be different from
themselves, usually jealous, angry, picky, and cold. It also presents
"self" in another way, which is completely opposite to the true
self-sacrifice and kindness.
When evil spirits
impersonate someone or a saint, they may act within the scope of lust or
emotion, trying to excite people; they imitate other people's expressions and
voices, as if they themselves are also excited. It is usually accompanied by fake love and a desire for the
other person's company, which often makes the victim fall into it and
cannot extricate themselves.
4. False Visions
If the evil spirit
can give a person a false vision, it proves that it has deeply deceived the
person, whether the person is a Christian or a non-believer. It is not based on the person's sin,
but on a passive state of the person, such as an inactive mind,
imagination, a certain mode of spiritualism and other functions.
This passive state
is the best way to obtain supernatural manifestations. Many mediums, psychics,
and crystal ball observers know this very well. They know that as long as the
mind becomes slightly active, it will immediately destroy the spiritual state.
Believers who do
not know these principles can easily provide conditions for evil spirits to
work in their lives unknowingly. Because of their wrong views on God's truth,
they can easily fall into the following passive states.
1. Giving up free
will in prayer and falling into a passive state of mind, mistaking it for
waiting for God;
2. Deliberately
stopping the action of the mind, emptying it, not using the imagination under
the covering of God or operating under the unsanctified imagination, in order
to obtain some supernatural manifestations that they think are from God;
3. Practicing a
passive attitude in daily life, not a choice of free will, thinking that this
is obedience to God's will;
4. Deliberately
maintaining a state of self-denial, completely giving up their own will or all
wishes, needs, hopes, and plans, thinking that this is complete submission to
God, and their "free will" completely disappears in God.
5. False dreams
The invasion of
evil spirits at night can lead to a dark mind and heaviness in the spirit in
the morning. Sleep does not bring refreshment because the power of evil spirits
affects the whole person through the passive mind of the sleeping person.
"Natural" sleep can renew and revive the whole system and function of
a person. Insomnia may sometimes be the work of evil spirits, which makes a
person exhausted and covers Satan's attack.
Believers who are very open to the supernatural world
should especially use prayer to protect their nights. Once they find that evil spirits are trying to
operate in this area, they should reject them outright.
The Bible has
clear records about God's true location. We can refer to Hebrews chapter 1
verse 3, chapter 2 verse 9, chapter 4 verses 14-16, and chapter 9 verse 24.
who being the
brightness of His glory and the express image of His
person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He
had [a]by Himself [b]purged [c]our sins, sat down at the right hand of the
Majesty on high.(Heb 1:3)
But we see Jesus,
who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death,
crowned with honor and glory, that by the grace of God he might taste death for
everyone. (Heb 2:9)
The God whom we
worship and the Christ whom we love are in heaven; but the Holy Spirit is both
in heaven and on earth; there we have access to him, being united to him by
faith, and there we sit with him, far above all principalities and powers,
where all things are under his feet (Eph 1:20-23; 2:6).
Seeing then that
we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the
Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. (Heb 4:14)
For we do not
have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in
all points tempted as we are, yet without
sin. (Heb. 4:15)
Let us therefore
come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to
help in time of need. (Heb. 4:16)
In John 14, 15,
and 16, the Lord clearly taught the truth about His abiding in His disciples.
“In Me” means to be with Him, in His heavenly place (Jn. 14:20). He said to His
disciples and all Christians, “I am in you.” As people were united with His
glory, His Spirit and life flowed out through His disciples.
Causes:
1. Not knowing
God, worshipping idols
Therefore speak to
them, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Everyone of the house of
Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before him what causes him
to stumble into iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the Lord will
answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols, (Ezekiel 14:4)
Because My people
have forgotten Me, They have burned incense to worthless idols.
And they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways, From the ancient
paths,
To walk in pathways and not on a highway, (Jeremiah 18:15)
To make their
land desolate and a perpetual hissing;Everyone who
passes by it will be astonished And shake his head. (Jeremiah 18:16)
2. Being tempted
Now the
Spirit [a]expressly says that in latter times some will depart
from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, (1
Timothy 4:1)
speaking lies in
hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron. (1 Timothy 4:2)
3. Lack of
knowledge
My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge.Because you have rejected knowledge, I also
will reject you from being priest for Me;Because you have forgotten the law of
your God, I also will forget your children. (Hosea 4:6)
Prayer to
disconnect and break the spirit of counterfeit:
1. Not knowing
God, worshipping idols
2. Being tempted
3. Lack of
knowledge
Abba Heavenly
Father, dear Lord Jesus Christ, mighty Holy Spirit, Triune God, today I come
before You to confess and repent for myself and my family members who have been
contaminated and controlled by counterfeit spirits, and to admit and break and
forsake the sins committed by myself and my ancestors, as well as agreeing with
the devil's lies, some wrong belief systems and the behaviors that come with
them.
Breaking down
behavior: counterfeit spirits
In the name of
Jesus Christ, I come before you to confess and repent on behalf of my family
and ancestors for what we have done:
1. Wrong
reception: accepting false gods into our hearts, unable to understand God's
words and will, and unable to see the right path.
2. Self-centered,
proud sins: often focusing on ourselves, looking at our own weaknesses, and
often looking at our own environment; arrogant, always thinking that our
reception comes from God, that we are right, and unwilling to listen to advice.
3. Vain glory:
often expecting praise and compliments from people, and often seeking love and
affirmation from people.
4. Competitive,
narrow-minded sins: only focusing on the earth, not knowing how to look far
away, and not knowing how to look at the sky, keeping our heads down all day to
fill our stomachs, looking for food all day but not being satisfied; having no
hope, only knowing how to fight for food, but being extremely easily offended
by others.
5. The sin of
blindness: being deceived by evil spirits into thinking that God is leading and
thus preaching the wrong understanding; relying on methods, religious rules and
rituals, and always being confused and deceived by religion; on the spiritual
path, one has never produced the fruit of life, and still wants to lead people
to follow oneself, which is actually resisting God, and the blind leading the
blind into a pit.
6. Received wrong
education and teachings: confess and repent for the atheistic teachings of
materialism, dialectics of unity of opposites, and self-struggle and
self-salvation; confess and repent for the agnosticism of the bottom thinking
of the nation, such as Buddhist thoughts; confess and repent for the polytheism
of the bottom thinking of the nation and the various festivals (celestial
phenomena, ancestor worship, treating people as gods, worshiping ghosts,
worshiping the land, etc.) worship that have arisen, such as Taoism, Mid-Autumn
Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Qingming Festival. Confess and repent for
philosophical thoughts such as materialism, Marxism-Leninism, man conquers
nature, fatalism, and treating reason as God, idolatry movement, and preference
for boys over girls.
In the name of
Jesus Christ, pull out the blind spirit of Japhia, the king of Lachish, from
the black hole of Makkedah in my life, trample on its neck, and nail it
completely to the cross, just as Joshua hung the kings of Canaan on trees. Let
my life completely come out of the valley of the shadow of death and oppression
and see the light again. The foundation of my life is completely built on the
cornerstone of Jesus Christ. Knowing my Lord Jesus Christ is the most precious
treasure, and I offer my life completely.
In the name of
Jesus, take up the sword of the Holy Spirit, cut off and break all the spirits
that shine the light on themselves, are self-focused, and often only look at
themselves. This self-focused spirit is cut off and broken in the name of
Jesus. Lord, we also confess and repent to you for arrogance, pride, thinking
that we are better than others, focusing on the environment, thinking that our
needs are more important than others, blindly teaching without knowing that we
are trapped in religious confusion and deception, competing, narrow-minded
sins, and being slightly offended as if we were wronged like Dou E, and we have
no mercy, kindness, and forgiveness, and we don’t know that we are the chief of
sinners, dust among dust, and living in this world is completely God’s grace.
In the name of
Jesus, the great light of truth shines into the bottom of my life and thinking,
revealing the wrong teachings and national cultural foundations that I have
received: atheism, materialism, Marxism-Leninism, various leadership theories,
man conquers nature, philosophy (various trends of thought), fatalism,
agnosticism, science and reason (mathematics and chemistry) as gods,
polytheism, ancestor worship, celestial worship, land worship, idolatry,
preference for boys over girls, etc., completely uprooted from my life, deep
into the bone marrow, blood, and DNA, completely cleansing my life, and giving
my soul and body to Jesus. Now it is no longer me who lives, but Christ who
lives in me.
In the name of
Jesus Christ, I declare them invalid and can no longer affect me and my
descendants. In the holy name of Jesus Christ, I cancel the work of all cursed
spirits. I have escaped from the curse and entered the blessing. This time, the
Lord's grace and mercy will always follow me.
In the holy name
of Jesus Christ, I bind and command all the evil spirits related to these to
leave me and go out to where the Lord Jesus wants you to go. You are not
allowed to come back, and you are not allowed to disturb or harm anyone. Abba
Father, please send angels to help me and accomplish all the work I pray for.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
Declare blessing
prayer:
May the Lord Jesus
grant us the seven spirits of God, and grant us truth, revelation, wisdom, and
strategy, so that all shackles and bondages will be completely removed, because
where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17); the Lord
Jesus is with us, leading, guiding, and protecting us in every matter and every
thought on the future path of life, so that we are completely in God's will,
because Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. May the light of truth and
freedom illuminate each of us, so that we can also illuminate those in the
darkness, bring them hope, and become witnesses like clouds.
Declare in the
name of the Lord: Jehovah is my Heavenly Father, and I am His precious child;
Jesus is my husband, and I am His flawless bride; the Comforter, the Holy
Spirit, is my best friend and teacher, and is with me every moment; God will
give me strategies and the ability to recognize what I should do and how to do
it. Declare that I inherit the inheritance that God has given to our ancestors,
and my inheritance is hereditary. The next generation must know what I have
done.
My life on earth
is like being in heaven, and I can enjoy an intimate relationship with God in
eternity, because my beloved belongs to me and I belong to my beloved, and we
will never be separated.
Because neither
death nor life, neither angels nor rulers nor powers, neither the present nor
the future, neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able
to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans
8:38-39)
God wants me to be
favored by God and man, and receive unconditional love; give me sincere and
loyal interpersonal relationships, friendships, alliances, partners, and
helpers.
In the name of
Jesus Christ, I declare that we and our descendants fully know God’s destiny,
calling, plan, and will for ourselves - as for me and my family, we will serve
Jehovah; in the name of Jesus, I declare that the day of the end of the
wilderness has come, I will no longer be in a circle, I will now move forward
bravely into the promised land, the land flowing with milk and honey. I will
begin to be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
The enemy will pay
back a hundredfold for all that was lost by separation from God: the complete
health of the soul, spirit, and body, wisdom, abundant life, the authority of
God's children, and the best blessings, because life will enter the land of abundance
and live in the prophetic land of Goshen; when I obey God's will, I will become
God's spokesperson on earth; God's authority, power, honor, and glory will all
be upon me. God's grace, mercy, and the most holy way will all be my guard.
Our humble lives
are completely filled with God's glory, wisdom, grace, favor, mercy, power,
goodness, joy, and love, and become Your holy and precious vessels, like King
David, who becomes a person who is in line with God's will, serving this
generation according to God's will, and being a blessing to this generation.
Give us the wisdom and high position of Daniel and Joseph, and have good
spiritual discernment.
Even though we
live in a country of atheism and persecution of faith, and the foundation of
our national culture is invaded by various polytheisms and ancestor worship, we
are still not afraid of external persecution and internal confusion, and we are
still as docile as doves and as cunning as snakes in this world, because the
Creator of heaven and earth has dedicated himself to us, and the way of
salvation He has given us is far higher than and overcomes the corruption, sin,
and evil of this world.
I declare in the
name of Jesus Christ: The revelations I have received are completely from the
Lord Jesus Christ, and they are all lively, fresh, timely, effective, and
forward-looking. The information I share, the books I write, my research and
development, and every minute and every second of my life are always full of
vitality and supply to the needs; all the revelations, wisdom, and strategies
will save us from all evil and traps, so that we will not stand on the side of
the wicked, and all these good things will be passed on to our descendants.
I was commanded to
bless; God has also blessed, and I cannot reverse this. He has not seen
iniquity in Jacob, nor has he seen wickedness in Israel. The Lord God is with
him; the voice of the king is among them. God brought them out of Egypt; they
had the strength of wild bulls. There is no enchantment against Jacob, and no
divination against Israel.
Now it will be
said of Jacob, and of Israel, how great things God has done for him! This
people rise up like a lioness, and stand up like a lion; they have not eaten
the prey of the wild, nor have they drunk the blood of the wounded, nor will
they lie down. (Numbers 23:20-24)
In the name of the
Lord Jesus, Amen!
