Spirit of Sabotage

This is something I've been dealing with, in regards to food. I ran across this posting from SFJ blog site, and it was helpful.

Spirit of Sabotage

This is a serious Spirit that through prayer and revelation I believe attacked the group strongly in the first part of the Fast. Some even have aborted/are aborting the divine plans of the Lord has for them by falling victim to this Spirit. I want to bring this thing into the Light so that we can be in complete Freedom in our walk following Jesus.

"The Spirit of Sabotage operates as a strong demonic influence that drive people to abort the progress and success of divinely ordained projects, purposes relationships, organization, self, potential, and destinies. It stirs up jealously, resentment, and suspicion, and is often vindictive towards the person who detects its presence. Sabotage can make you both victim and perpetrator so that even when you pronounce judgment on others you both expose and pronounce judgment upon yourself. This spirit is so skillful it will use you as a pawn and a puppet on a string, prohibiting you from detecting its hand upon you and the strings that manipulate you. Working with familiar spirits, who act as their reconnaissance, informing them of breaks in hedges of protection, strengths, weaknesses, and proclivities of both the perpetrator and victim, its plan is a well-thought-out plan. I have discovered that many agents used are not only those with malicious intent, but also those who sincerely love us and want what's best for us. Consider the incident Matthew records In Matthew 16:21-23, where Peter unwittingly was being used in an attempt to sabotage the mission of Jesus. Jesus decisively identified the spirit controlling Peter's thoughts and immediately aborted its activities. Remember as you examine the activities of this spirit that you will discover that you are both victim and perpetrator. When the Lord gives you victory over this spirit, you will notice that a veil will be lifted, and scales of deception will fall from your spiritual eyes. Everything that you thought was real will crumble before you and evaporates like a mirage. Truth will prevail and set you free from anything built upon fabrications, lies, falsehood, and untruths."
