7. The spirit of stunted spiritual growth.
This is a wicked spirit that tends to keep people on the same spot. The truth is that such people are not actually on one spot, they are retrogressing spiritually. One of the evidences of this retrogression is going to look for seers to divine for them.
Pray –
- I plead the blood of Jesus against you wicked spirits of stunted growth and retrogression. I bind you today and cast you into the bottomless pit. I overcome you by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony. I raise the blood of Jesus as a perpetual injunction against you. Thus far, you come, you go no further in Jesus name.
8. The spirit of ignorance.
All erroneous beliefs and all true beliefs not amounting to knowledge constitute ignorance. It is lack of knowledge regarding the ways of God, the character, the nature of God and the revealed will of God. There is so much ignorance in the Church today. If you have the call of God upon your life, you need to humble yourself and go to a reputable Bible school to learn; learn other things by allowing other people to teach you. Many times, some of the things you think you know you actually don’t know because by the time your script is marked by another person, you will discover your errors. If you score 70% in any course, it only means that you are 30% in error. This should humble you. Many people are ignorant of who they are, ignorant of what they have in Christ, ignorant of what Christ has done for them, ignorant of the revealed will of God. Every exploit in life is a product of knowledge. The world has come to that realization. The economies of the world are driven by knowledge. There is a place called “there” for you. It takes wisdom to know this.
The proliferation of religious activities notwithstanding, there is a place that God has ordained for you to be, he said, “And there I will meet with you” (Exo. 25:22). Ignorance makes people to seek for help in wrong places when God has ordained a particular place for them. That was how the Jews missed Jesus because he was not where they expected him to be as the Son of God and that is how some people will also miss him at his second coming. It is the knowledge of God that makes you free; knowledge of the truth. Who is the truth? John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one cometh to the Father, but by me”. The Bible says that those that do know their God (knowledge) shall be strong (strong in faith) and they will do exploits (Dan. 11:32).
Pray –
- Father, please remove every trace of ignorance from my life in the name of Jesus. Help me to know you more in the name of Jesus.
- Help me to know who I am in Christ, what I have in Christ and what Christ has done for me in the name of Jesus Christ.
