INTRODUCTION
Generally we think that our enemies are those who harm us physically. No ! we have subtle, invisible, unknown enemies. We will see some of these. The Lord uses what is physical to help us understand the spiritual. What we see is not a coincidence, if some succeed and others fail (not because they don't work), it is simply their places that have been taken, nothing else. On a 2-seater chair, if 2 others want to sit, they have to push first so that they fall or they have to be removed by force.
DEVELOPMENT
Deuteronomy 7:1 When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are going to possess, and drives out many nations before you, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations more numerous and more powerful than you; 2 When the LORD your God has handed them over to you, and you have defeated them, you shall destroy them, and you shall not make a covenant with them, nor show them favor. 3 You shall not intermarriage with these people, nor give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons; 4 for they would turn away your sons from me, who would serve other gods, and the anger of the LORD would be kindled against you: he would destroy you quickly.
We see peoples who are mentioned who must give way. But who are these spirits in reality?
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the authorities, against the rulers of this dark world, against the spirits of wickedness in the heavenly places.
-GUIRGASIANS: which means inhabitant of clay (slippery and made to fall) or earth. These are wicked spirits who cause one to desire earthly things more than spiritual ones. Thoughts are focused on what suits the body, we tell ourselves that we only live once. Yet we are made of earth; Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the earth, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living creature. Our city is not down here and the earth when wet probably becomes destructible; Matthew 7:26 But whoever hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 The rain fell, the floods came, the winds blew and beat that house: it fell, and its ruin was great.
They are flattering spirits because if death was the end of human life, following their advice was a gain. But that is not the case.
-CANANEANS: These are the people of the plain, of the coast of the sea (low ground, baseness of the world, its PLEASURES); number 13:29 The Amalekites dwell in the region of the south; the Hittites, the Jebusites and the Amorites dwell in the mountain; and THE CANAANITEMS LIVE NEAR THE SEA AND ALONG THE JORDAN. They lead to the search for pleasure to such an extent that fornication is not enough, we add homosexuality, transgenderism), bestiality and sex dolls and all the deviations that we can see. They convince us that there is no marriage after death. The sea (beach) is the perfect place to show off (something that sharpens and facilitates sensuality).
WICKED SPIRITS including impure spirits are responsible for the atrocities and evils from which men suffer.
-HETHIANS: This name comes from Heth which means “son of terror”. Heth meaning terror, extreme fear. They are the source of many concerns, they play on emotions. When we are emotionally affected, we become vulnerable (marital, professional, spiritual life, etc.). Situations assail us and we wonder if there is a possible way out. These minds prevent us from trying something for fear of failing; it is pressure from the outside. Reinhard Bonnke invited people to assist him in the ministry. They are people filled with the power of God. He said he was incapable of seeing the manifestation of God's power. Once he invited Richard Ngidi and then John Bosman. But with the latter something unexpected happened. When Reinhard Bonnke expected prayer for the sick of all kinds who were there, he told him that he was leaving and went to the hotel. He pursued him to negotiate that he do it the next morning. But to his great surprise, the next day Bosman continued: the Holy Spirit told me to leave and he left. Bonnke was dejected and began to beg the Lord for mercy. Back at the church, he announced the departure of his colleague and took matters into his own hands. That day his interpreter fell under the power of the Holy Spirit and miracles took place (the blind have seen...). If he didn't do it that day, he wouldn't know the deposit that God has placed in him, a dormant anointing. But God came through Bosman to bring him out of fear and make him a hero; Judges 6:12 And the angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, The LORD is with you, you mighty hero! 13 Gideon said to him, Ah! my lord, if the LORD be with us, why have all these things happened to us? And where are all these wonders which our fathers tell us, when they say, Has not the LORD brought us up out of Egypt? Now the LORD has abandoned us and delivered us into the hands of Midian! 14 The LORD turned to him, and said, Go in this strength that you have, and deliver Israel out of the hand of Midian; is it not I who sent you?
These spirits can make us doubt our ability to entrust ourselves with a task. What are we afraid of doing? You have to dare. If a man or woman has succeeded in this or that area (not out of jealousy or spirit of comparison), I can too if the Lord wants it.
These spirits can cause a person to be a terror to others. They are responsible for causing torment, disturbing the peace of others. Let someone be a HETHIAN for us and not us for a person; Genesis 27:46 Rebekah said to Isaac, I am disgusted with life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife like these, from the daughters of Heth, from the daughters of the land, what is the use of life for me?
They are related to the princes of darkness.
PRINCES: The princes of this world of darkness: also called principalities, they are plunderers, thieves (they arm themselves to sow fear and steal better). We understand this better by observing the characters of princes (in Africa). In ancient times, if the prince wanted a girl in marriage, the parents could do nothing about it. When we were little, people went into the bush to pick mangoes, when the princes met them, they chose what they wanted or took everything.
And if it happens that what we gain and we immediately lose, these can be the origin (I say perhaps because our unfaithfulness can also be); John 14:30 I will hardly speak any more with you; for the PRINCE of the world is coming. He has nothing in me.
-AMOREANS: which means mountain people; Number 13:29 The Amalekites live in the southern region; the Hittites, the Jebusites and THE AMORES INHABIT THE MOUNTAIN; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the Jordan. ;they are in search of glory and domination (head), they are driven by selfishness. He who is accustomed to fight in the mountains unless it is difficult to fight in the plains; 1 kings 20:23 The servants of the king of Syria said to him, Their god (God) is a god of mountains; that's why they were stronger than us. But let's fight them on the plain, and we'll see if we won't be stronger than them.
Naturally, it is from the top that we can see all the glories of this world; Matthew 4:8 And the devil took him up again to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, And the devil took him up again to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. The devil, Satan brought the Lord Jesus to the high level of combat, hoping to defeat him. But when the mountaineer is defeated in the mountains, he must give up. They are similar to authorities.
AUTHORITIES: These are spirits who provoke insubordination at all levels (families, services, etc.). This is why Satan wanted Jesus to disobey God. Now the Bible teaches us to submit; Romans 13:1 Let everyone be subject to higher authorities; for there is no authority that does not come from God, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.
Where there is rebellion, there will be no shortage of trouble (strike, ultimatum, etc.).
-JEBUSIENS: These are the grain threshers, the grain treading oxen). They are spirits who trample others. For them there are no authorities, they are the ones who have authority; 2 Samuel 24: 18 That day Gad came to David, and said to him, Go up, build an altar to the LORD in the the area of Aravna, the Jebusite. 19 David went up, according to the word of Gad, as the LORD commanded. 20 Aravna looked, and he saw the king and his servants coming towards him; and Aravna went out and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground. 21 Aravna said: Why does my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing floor from you, and to build there an altar to the LORD, that the plague may pass away from the people. 22 Aravna said to David, Let my lord the king take the threshing floor, and offer there whatever sacrifices he pleases; see, THE OXES WILL BE FOR THE HOLOCAUST, AND THE CARRIAGES WITH THE TEAM WILL BE SERVED FOR WOOD 23 Aravna gave everything to the king. And Aravna said to the king: May the LORD your God be favorable to you! 24 But the king said to Aravna: No! I will buy it from you for money, and I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God that cost me nothing. AND DAVID PURCHASED THE threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver (these were the oxen that tread out the grain).
The ox is a robust animal and wherever it passes, this place hardens due to the imposition of its weight.
DOMINATIONS: these are spirits which exert an irresistible influence on a territory or on a being. They do not give their victim any respite. They are trying to suffocate him. Everything she does is stuck.
-PHEREZIENS and HEVIENS: which means villagers. Most of those who grow up in villages are limited. These spirits inspire laziness, weakness, a superiority or inferiority complex, and a limited vision. We cannot promote certain skills in certain places such as in the village even if we have the required abilities.
CONCLUSION
Many spirits are at the origin of the misfortune of men, but glory be to God because Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of darkness; 1 John3:8 The Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil.
