THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS – BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM

TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL (MONDAY 7th June 2021)

“Then the children of Israel moved, and camped in the plains of Moab on the side of the Jordan across from Jericho.

Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.” Numbers 22:1-3 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 158TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF HIGHER HEIGHTS!

Today we will continue with our discourse on excerpts from the book “OVERCOMING WITCHCRAFT BY THE GREATNESS OF GOD’S POWER.” There is so much we have learned so far and the LORD have been faithful to us.

In 2018 I preached in a Church in Nigeria when the LORD told me about his sword against the Python spirit in Nigeria.

Sadly, the nation has played host to the spirit for too long and presented falsehood as truth to so many. He said “Nigeria will pioneer the last mass evangelism that will usher in Jesus as King of kings and LORD of LORDS but most of what is happening now is not from me but from the python spirit.

Then He said, He will withdraw His mercies like He withdrew it from Saul and the spirit will begin to eat its carriers that way the spirit of rebellion eats Saul. Do not forget, Saul died in the battle field. That should tell you how these ones will end; they will be eaten after doing what their victims calls preaching.

Sadly, so many believers do not know about the python spirits and how it covers its ministers with a false humility and charitable acts so that the world will see them as messiahs. The Bible spoke about the two horns of the false lamb of God. It will be like the two horns of the true lamb of GOD. Those horns manifest in different forms.

Most will manifest as humility and charitable deeds especially when operating in poor regions of the world. And that will be what will place the hearts of the elects in jeopardy. Jesus says,

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24:24 NKJV

IT IS BECAUSE OF THEIR SIGNS IN CHARITABLE DEEDS THAT THEY WILL DECEIVE SO MANY AND IF POSSIBLE EVEN THE ELECT.

Thank God it is it not possible to deceived the elects of Christ. Because He said,

“My sheep hear my voice, the voice of a stringer they will not follow.”

But there is something to note here in that Bible prophecy, Jesus says;

“And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24:22-24 NKJV

I have always said, that Bible Prophecies are stronger than the prophecy of any prophet on earth. There are so many things God will do this end time because of the elects. One of them will be the shortening of the days of tribulation and hyper deception.

That tells what to expect as Children of God, especially in our days and times. It tells us that whenever tribulation gets to its boiling point, God will step in to shorten its days. Also whenever the ministry of any prophet of the likes of Simon the sorcerer, gets to the point of even deceiving the elects, the life of the prophet will be cut short. God will instantly withdraw His mercies and allow the python spirits they operate to eat them.

Let he that has an ear hear what just happened in Nigeria.

It will continue to happen in this decade, especially in the Church realm globally, and by 2030, so many of these guys you call “Great Power of God” will no longer be here. A major Bible Prophecy in Zechariah will be fulfilled. Then, the Ezekiels, Jeremiahs, Elijahs, Pauls, Peters and etc. will be the ones we will be hearing. They will be the voices on God’s global platform for end time ministry and end time harvest.

WE ARE LIVING IN VERY INTERESTING DAYS. MATTHEW 7:13-28 IS PLAYING ITSELF OUT.

They are so many taking the Broadway that leads to eternal damnation and so few finding the narrow way leading to life; all because of the kind of deception in Church today. Even people you think should know are believing the lie and questioning the true.

Many are building their lives on sinking the sand of the python spirit, while very few are finding the Testimony of Jesus Christ and building their lives on it. The storms are wiping away those whose lives and ministries are on the sinking sand of the python spirit, but the lives of those founded on the rock of the Testimony of Jesus Christ are being sustained by the LORD.

We are living in interesting times!

In our ongoing discourse today, we will continue with the mystery of the plains of Moab. I pray that you find light and understanding that will help you overcome witchcraft in those plains in Jesus precious name. Amen!

VICTORY AT THE PLAINS OF MOAB

“Then the children of Israel moved, and camped in the plains of Moab on the side of the Jordan across from Jericho.

Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.” Numbers 22:1-3

The witchcraft attacks on the nation of Israel that was masterminded by Balak and Balaam started when the nation camped in the plains of Moab. In obtaining victory over witchcraft one must understand the mystery behind these plains in the life of a Child of God.

Yes, there is a mystery behind the plain of Moab.

A mystery is a hidden truth. In the Kingdom of God, mysteries are hidden truths that must be exposed to the saints. Jesus said,

…Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. Matthew 13:11 KJV

Our lives will remain a misery if we do not unlock the mysteries in God’s word and lead our lives accordingly. People with no knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom will never be loosed from the miseries of witchcraft attacks. It takes God’s kingdom mysteries to erase human miseries. Evil works of darkness are hidden works. It will require the glorious works of light to deal with them.

Most of what people go through in the hands of witches and wizards is usually mysterious. You see mysterious sicknesses and diseases, mysterious economic hardship, mysterious accidents and air mishaps, mysterious political victorious and campaigns. You see mysterious marriage break-up, mysterious deaths and collapse of things in people’s live.

Virtually everything bad that is happening today is mysterious. That is why unlocking the mystery of God’s kingdom has become expedient.

Many of us do not know that in the spirit, it takes a mystery to deal with a mystery. It is the ignorance of God’s hidden mysteries that are responsible for the struggle of men with the mysterious developments of witchcrafts. What is hidden will require WHAT WAS HIDDEN IN GOD BUT NOW REVEALED TO US to be eliminated.

The root cause of problems must be searched out using the light of God’s mysteries. That is where the light in the mystery of the plains of Moab comes in.

LET’S BEGIN BY UNVEILING HOW THE NATION OF MOAB CAME TO BE.

The nation of Moab was a product of witchcraft. The daughters of Lot practiced witchcraft on their father and got pregnant by him. They controlled him with alcohol to do the unthinkable. Witchcraft involves the control of humans using strange influences.

For them it was the influence of alcohol that they used. Obviously the demons of sexual perversion must have followed them from Sodom and Gomorrah when they left the city. This demon used their worries to sway them to sleep with their father; an abomination in God’s sight.

SATAN WILL ALWAYS USE OUR WORRIES TO SWAY US TO DO THE ABOMINABLE.

Indeed, worrying is not a good thing that is why Jesus said, “do not worry” (Matthew 6:31). Worries have a way of blindfolding the mind and seducing it to think very terrible things.

And don’t forget, we eventually do and become what we think. For instance, people have gotten married to very terrible people because of worries. They did not see who the people really were because worrying about being single blind-folded them.

Worries have driven people into places and programs that are not God’s will for their life. Worry is a seed of destruction on its own. It has a way of making the wrong thing look right. It’s an abomination in God’s sight for children to have sex with their father or vice versa.

But worrying blinded the daughters of Lot to think it’s no longer an abomination. It blinded them to think there was no man on the face of the earth to be married to, but from Bible history there were villages that surrounded the place they lived. Men were in those villages. Just as it is blinding women today to think they are more women than men on earth, hence doing even the abominable.

Besides, if Lot had listened to the angel when he was told to flee to the mountains, divine provision would have met his obedience. They would have met God’s people there. And there would have been no need for the mess. But worry did not let him obey the angels, and here is the same spirit moving his daughters to do the unthinkable.

They became too blind by their worries, consequently, seeing sex with their Dad as the only key to keeping his lineage alive. When an abomination becomes acceptable in your sight, you have touched witchcraft. When vices become virtues to you, witchcraft is at work.

THAT MEANS WORRIES HAVE A WAY OF PUSHING PEOPLE INTO THE WITCHCRAFT NET.

The Bible says,

“Now the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man on the earth to come in to us as is the custom of all the earth.

Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve the lineage of our father.” So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

It happened on the next day that the firstborn said to the younger, “Indeed I lay with my father last night; let us make him drink wine tonight also, and you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve the lineage of our father.”

Then they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father. The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day. And the younger, she also bore a son and called his name Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the people of Ammon to this day. Genesis 19:31-38 NKJV

From this scripture it’s clear that the nation of Moab was founded on the wrong stone. One word we can use to describe the stone is “Incest.” Wherever witchcraft exists sexual boundaries are removed. Incest and other forms of sexual perversion will be present.

Moab was founded on activities of witchcraft. What then is the plain of Moab?
