Strength For The Battle

DAY 7 OF 7

The Real Antichrist Spirit

Following Christ calls us to embrace forgiveness and love as a way of life. It is simply "anti" Christ to justify unforgiveness, division, and selfish ambition. The antichrist spirit will be disguised behind any number of issues, but those issues are simply tools this principality uses to divide the church.

The spirit of antichrist is simply that spirit which is anti-Christ. It is anti-love, anti-forgiveness, anti-reconciliation. Perhaps more than all others, this principality keeps good churches divided from one another.

The antichrist spirit may use jealousy or fear or even the color of the church bathrooms as a smoke screen, but the essential cause of most division is simply Christians yielding to someone or something other than the Spirit and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Any situation can be reconciled by returning to the words of Jesus. Once all parties yield to Him, love and victory soon follow.

Dear Lord, guard my heart from unforgiveness, jealousy, fear, and criticism so that I do not open doors for this divisive spirit to enter and cause destruction. Amen.

About this Plan

Strength For The Battle

These daily readings will help you learn that spiritual warfare begins with holiness as you examine the three arenas of spiritual warfare that every maturing Christian will face: the mind, the church, and the invisible spiritual realm. This devotional is based on the book Strength for the Battle by Francis Frangipane.
