The Great Matt Geib with you (0:30) once again on a sunny, bright day in the Pacific Northwest, winding down the end of July and (0:37) going toward the home stretch of the end of summer. Can you believe it? And today I wanted (0:44) to get back to you. It's been a long time.I think we're going to have to come in here (0:50) and study this more frequently, but I started to read at the very beginning of June, end (0:57) of May, How to Identify and Defeat 16 Evil Spirits That Want to Destroy You. The name (1:06) of the book is Power and Authority Over Darkness by Angela Greenig. She's a deliverance minister (1:13) that's traveled the world, been around, oh, 40 years or more, as long as I have, maybe (1:19) longer.And she's written a powerful book on the workings of the enemy.

And I think it's important to know the forces (1:44) that may come against us, especially in this last age. I believe we're in the last age.(1:50) So I had started to read this, and there are 16 spirits that she identifies. That's the (1:57) meat of the book. There's more to the book, but I thought this was the important part (2:01) because I've read this book.And I only got through the three spirits, the first three (2:06) spirits she identifies, lying spirit, spirit of bondage, and the spirit of fear. She wrote (2:13) this book in 2019, so it's still really relative. And these are very good things to be aware (2:21) of when we're talking about demonic spirits and strongholds.And I believe Christians can (2:26) be oppressed and harassed by evil spirits, and this will help you. (2:33) So let's get to the next one. This is going to take some time because she really devotes (2:38) a lot to each of these topics.The spirit of heaviness, and provide for those who grieve (2:45) in Zion to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of (2:52) mourning and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks (2:58) of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor. Isaiah 61.3. We're (3:06) talking of 16 spirits.This is spirit four, the spirit of heaviness. Manifestations, depression, (3:15) the blues, psychological disorder marked especially by sadness, inactivity, difficulty in thinking (3:23) and concentrating, feelings of dejection, loneliness, the feeling of being without company, discouragement, (3:31) to deprive of courage or confidence, hopelessness, not having any desire accompanied by expectation (3:40) of fulfillment, grief, emotional distress caused by or as if by bereavement, gluttony, one (3:49) that eats to excess, anorexia, loss of appetite, especially when prolonged, bulimia, I'm not (4:00) sure how to say that, to overeat, then induce vomiting, obsessive, compulsive, unreasonable (4:08) fears leading to repetitive behaviors, disconnected thoughts, incoherent, unclear, lack of a sound (4:18) mind, inability to think, reason, or understand, delusions, deluding or being deluded, a persistent (4:26) false psychotic belief, illusions, mistaken identities or ideas, misconceptions, misleading (4:35) visual images, hallucinations, abandonment, given up on completely, forsaken, deserted, (4:43) rejected, disconnected, discounted, or considered as useless or unsatisfactory.
