The destiny of EVERY CALLING is immersion in the mind of Christ, full reconciliation. Remember, we all have different giftings according to 1 Corinthians 12 but it is the same Spirit at work in all.

The success of a scribal group or Christian writing group isn’t based on the number of members, publishing projects or even the caliber of speakers in the eyes of men (Luke 16:15). Rather, it is based on being a catalyst through which people grow in pursuing God and walking out His plans and purposes for them.

This is the final part of the series on, The Spirit of Rebekah: Master Manipulator, that I began several years ago. However, this post is long. To read this article series in context, please check out: The Spirit of Rebekah: Master Manipulator Part I and The Spirit of Rebekah: Master Manipulator Part II. Please note that all of my articles are based on clarity given to me in my prayer time from situations I have lifted before God. I share these articles and experiences in hope that those assigned to them gain answers and instructions along their journey.

Can Rebekah be delivered?

 

YES! She can. The first step to Rebekah’s deliverance, however, depends on her ability to SEE, IDENTIFY, ACKNOWLEDGE & OWN her own sin. Then, her heart must be tempered for repentance and healing. Getting to this place is often difficult for someone operating in the Spirit of Rebekah because they believe themselves to be a “type of Holy Spirit” – someone with the complete vision of God who has been sent by his design. They have locked themselves into a very warped view of who they are in the spirit – often esteeming themselves as apostles and prophets.

 

Take a look at this conversation Jacob had with Rebekah, his mother. We have to go in this direction to truly outline God’s heart of deliverance. This scenario provides some insight into how this manipulative spirit responds when exposed.

Sometimes, it’s not always easy to identify when we are in a pit — a deep, dark hole that is obstructing our perspective due to an unnamed, unconfronted or unidentified stronghold in our lives. But I tell you, a clear sign of being in a pit is living in self-denial – unable to see one’s own condition, and spending an enormous amount of time living in the valleys of heaviness instead of  PRACTICING self-motivation and self-propulsion in the Spirit. Daily we must remind ourselves that we are MORE SPIRIT than natural. We are created in the very image of God and therefore, we have the power to press upward and out of those dark places with the strength God provides.

People of God, either we believe he is an all powerful God or we believe that He isn’t. This is the question that I place before you today as we identify “the victim mentality” that has taken hold of the hearts of God’s people and “SHUT THIS STRONGHOLD DOWN.” It is EVICTION TIME! YES. It can be shut down. David gave us a valuable example how it can be done.

1 Samuel 30:6 CJB says, “David was in serious trouble: the people were talking about stoning him to death, because all the people were in such deep grief, each man over his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in Adonai his God.”

They interpreted that writing as “something is not right here and please watch that person.” So, I went back and read the writing in question….

In my studies this morning, my heart was a little bit heavy as the Lord revealed some things to me in his Word. It was heavy because I know that many of us, over the course of our lives, have missed seasons of reaping. I want to share this message with you today in hopes that you will understand that PIONEERS & TRAILBLAZERS are sent to launch you. Make an assessment of your pastors, leaders, mentors, etc. to see, by the Spirit, who is in your life.

Holy Spirit drew me into John 4:35-38 (CJB) this morning. It reads: 35 Don’t you have a saying, `Four more months and then the harvest’? Well, what I say to you is: open your eyes and look at the fields! They’re already ripe for harvest! 36 The one who reaps receives his wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the reaper and the sower may be glad together — 37 for in this matter, the proverb, `One sows and another reaps,’ holds true. 38 I sent you to reap what you haven’t worked for. Others have done the hard labor, and you have benefited from their work.”
