Overcoming Jezebel, Athaliah, And Belial In The ... - Kanaan Ministries

Look at the pattern and you see that it is the accuser of the brethren that’s at work. Ifyou listen to someone who has that kind of spirit, you will also be defiled. What happensis that you will get very angry every time you think of the person that they’re talkingabout. By the fact that the anger is there, you know that it is demonic!The anger is a sure indication that Belial is at work. It causes lying, stirs your emotionsup to anger and murder, gives false testimony, misinterprets and has an extremelystrong influence.We must discern Belial!Belial is normally very Charismatic and comes across so strongly to literally overwhelmpeople and sway them to their thinking. They operate through soul power and notthrough Holy Spirit power.There is a type of people that are particularly vulnerable to this spirit.2 Chronicles 13:7 “7 And there gathered to him worthless men, base fellows (sons ofBelial), who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon whenRehoboam was young [as king], irresolute, and inexperienced and did notwithstand them with firmness and strength.”This is a manifestation of Belial that operates through the soul realm and is driven by ademonic spirit to sway people in ungodly ways. The people that Belial will attack areyoung in the Lord, who are tender-hearted and really open to the Lord, wanting to dothe right thing. But because they’re young, they do not have the strength and areunable to withstand this kind of spirit. Then he goes into a congregation and stirs thingsup and keeps things stirred up. As the people who are being used by Belial movesaround the congregation, they will stir people up as they move. They leave the onestirred-up group, move on to the next group and there they stir up each group as theygo.Remember: It may not be a conscious thing: “I’m going to this congregation, to stir upeverybody and cause them to work against each other, work against the pastor andcause chaos to break out everywhere.” Wherever they go there will be criticism comingout of their mouths. It will be very subtle – something like: “I don’t mean to saysomething about the pastor / (or anyone else), but…” It can sound very mild, not toobad, etc., but the seeds of defilement have been sown. All of a sudden you start to lookat the pastor / leader with a jaundice eye. Or you look at each other with a jaundice eye.The purpose of the spirit of Belial is to defile the Body.Be careful not to be a carrier of this spirit!129
