THE SIX KINDS OF SPIRITS IN WORLD

Something unseen has been moving through your life since the day you were born.You have felt it. You have walked into a room where nothing was said and everything was wrong. You have watched a door swing open with no hand on it - and watched another slam shut the same way. You have seen a strong man fold under a weight nobody else could see, and a frail grandmother outlast every storm that came against her house. You have prayed and felt heaven lean close. You have prayed and felt nothing but ceiling - and could not explain the difference.Nobody taught you to feel these things. You feel them the way skin feels wind.This book is about that wind. Or rather - let me be honest with you from the first page - six winds. Scripture, read from cover to cover, shows six kinds of spirits at work in this present world. One of them is God Himself. One of them is you. One of them is heaven's staff of flame, sent to serve you. And three of them are trespassers with no legal right to a single day of your life.Most people live and die without ever learning to tell one wind from another. They call the Holy unclean and the unclean holy. They fight their own spirit and host their enemy's. They beg for what heaven already assigned, and tolerate what heaven already sentenced.I wrote this book so that will not be your story.Here is how we will walk. First we will hold one word - spirit - up to the light, in the three tongues of Scripture, until it opens like a door. Then we will meet the six, one at a time: what each spirit is, how it moves, and exactly where you stand toward it. Each chapter closes with a net of one hundred and fifty-three sayings - short enough to memorize, sharp enough to use - and a prayer that begins the way every prayer in this house begins: My Father, My Father, as I begin to pray in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.Read it slowly. Read it out loud when you can - some of what is written here does more in the air than on the page. And whenever you meet the old Hebrew word Selah, do what it asks: pause, and weigh that.The doors are just ahead. Let us pray before we enter.
