Move in the Opposite Spirit
‘For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.’ (Eph 8:12-13)
A principality over a region fortifies its position by obtaining agreement—and therefore power—over the hearts, minds, actions and words of people.
•For example, a spirit of poverty in a region is reinforced by a mindset of poverty, by words and media that confess lack, along with actions and political decisions that cater to poverty.
These things then become a stronghold.
By moving in the opposite spirit, we are used of the Holy Spirit to create a zone where God’s Kingdom is manifested and the stronghold begins to be dismantled. Light breaks into the darkness.
This is not only an act of warfare; it also helps us shake off any influence an ungodly regional mindset may have had over our own lives.
Moving in the opposite spirit is not something we do in our own strength; it is initiated and empowered by the Holy Spirit. For example, having identified a spirit of poverty, the Holy Spirit may lead us to renounce poverty and its way of thinking. We can ask Father to release His generosity through us, and He may give us a specific strategy to do so
