Note from Steve Shultz regarding Victoria Boyson and "THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO CONVINCE US HE IS GOD!":


Dear EARNEST Elijah List Readers,

This is perhaps the SINGLE MOST TIMELY prophetic word I've released in a very long time. I've seen this occur (what she describes in the article) with my own eyes and have received many emails regarding the same. Please read this and be edified -- or convicted, as the case may be.

Then find a pastor or some other leader to encourage. Let me tell you, they need it and God will reward you for it.

Oh, and for those of you who may be worried, even scared, that you might be guilty of this while not being aware of it...I would say this, "If you're worried and trying not to be in the place of the scornful, you are probably in a good place." Don't beat yourself up.

Those most guilty of this...well, witchcraft...probably feel they are doing God's work.

Nevertheless, if you've been trying to be God's servant and you now feel convicted of what you have been saying and praying against leaders and churches (after reading this article) , now would be a good time to repent to God and go apologize to the leader (but only if they know you have been doing it...otherwise, just repent to God and stop cursing the very people God died for.)

Blessings,

Steve Shultz

About Victoria Boyson:

Victoria Boyson was saved at the age of seven when her mother introduced her to her best friend, Jesus. Victoria started ministering at the age of 13, using music as a platform to tell others about Jesus.

Shortly after Victoria was married in 1988, her and her husband, Steven, have ministered together at various churches and functions, using the platform of music. In 1999, while pastoring a small church in Nebraska, the Lord told Victoria and Steven to leave the ministry and move to Iowa to work for Francis Frangipane. He has since become their spiritual father and friend. It was during this time that Victoria developed her writing gift. Her first book is entitled The Birth of your Destiny. She strongly believes that God has a plan for every person, and it is her desire to see His plan fulfilled in the lives of others.

Victoria currently resides in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with her husband, Steven, and their four children: Cassandra, Cody, Cole, and CailieEllen.



"THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO CONVINCE US HE IS GOD!"
"...It is sent to deceive those who have a strong gift of intercession"
by Victoria Boyson
www.boyson.org

 

There is an unclean spirit whose sole purpose is to convince us that he is God. He comes sounding very much like God and plays on our weaknesses and on our sinful thoughts and desires. It is sent to deceive those who have a strong gift of intercession, and it seeks to gain access to our hearts and minds to use our prayers to bring harm to the Body of Christ. One of its goals is to cause our mouths to come into agreement with the realms of darkness.

This demon may present himself as a gift of discernment or even a prophetic revelation. It may begin by flattering you and try and convince you that you are one of the few who really hear God's voice and speak for Him. It seeks to elevate your opinion of yourself, to raise you above those who would be your teachers, thereby, making you unteachable. These are only a few of the ways this spirit operates.

This demon is known as the religious spirit.

He Gains Access Through an Unyielded Heart and Mind

But don't let his name fool you - he is subtle, but destructive. He wants to gain access to your mouth to release hell's destructive powers on the earth. And he seeks to gain access to your heart through any areas of your heart and mind that are not yet yielded to Christ, or any part of your heart that has been hardened by the presence of cold love.

I have seen this spirit deceive many sincere, Godly people and use them to divide and destroy the church. They feel they have been given a "message from God" that others in the Body of Christ are not right spiritually or have "secret sins."

They may have had a disagreement with a church or an individual, but instead of walking in true forgiveness, they become resentful toward them. Instead of praying for them, they begin to pray against them, asking God to bring judgment on them. They may even feel that they "know" what God's judgment against them will be, and pray according to what they feel it should be.

Believing that they are warring against principalities, they war against their brother or sister in the Lord. But in actuality, they are fighting against Christ Himself.

Stand in the Gap for Your Brothers and Sisters

I have heard people say to me that "God" has told them that He is going to destroy such and such a church, ministry, or person. But instead of them being genuinely terrified of that happening and praying against it, I have gotten the sense that they would love nothing better than to see that organization or individual destroyed.

Without realizing it, these people have come into agreement with the powers of darkness. Instead of standing in the gap for their brother or sister, they view them as being out of God's reach. They have unconsciously put them in the category of the "unredeemable." They may even feel that these people are standing in God's way of really displaying His power in the church, and in an attempt to "help" God, they pray for their removal.

Instead of believing for God's mercy to prevail in their brother's life, they feel that he is not as "spiritual" as he should be, so they determine in their heart that God must want to wipe him out. THIS IS NOT THE HEART OF GOD!

Soulish Prayers

Prayers that are prayed outside of God's will and in accordance with the selfish desires of our own hearts are called soulish prayers. And when we pray against others, we cause the powers of darkness to be released on them. This can cause horrific warfare for them. This is witchcraft, and if we dabble in it, we open up our own lives for these destructive spirits to come back on us and wreak havoc in our own lives.

"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven." (Luke 6:37)


"For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Luke 6:38)

It is very dangerous to assume that we know God's will for others and then pray for that to happen. We may find ourselves fighting against the will of God for their lives. We should always confirm what we feel we have heard in the spirit with the peace of God. If we do not have peace about the word we have received, if it does not come from a heart full of genuine love for our brother, then we should disregard it.

The Religious Spirit

The religious spirit is the same spirit that drove Paul to persecute the first church. As he harassed a small group called the Nazarenes, he honestly felt that he was working for God. He killed and imprisoned hundreds of the followers of Christ and felt right in doing so. He was convinced in his heart that he was fulfilling the will of God.

Paul was positive that he knew what was right and that these Christians were evil. Furthermore, he believed they must be destroyed and felt commissioned by God to do so.

But when the Lord revealed Himself to Paul on the road to Damascus, He showed Paul that he was not fighting for truth, but for the realms of darkness.

What agony Paul must have experienced when he learned the truth of his actions. He did so much want to fight for God, and yet he found himself fighting against Him. How he must have agonized over his sin; his grief must have been immeasurable. However, Paul repented and turned from being the greatest persecutor of the early church to being its greatest defender.

Yielded to Christ

We too can turn away from praying for God's punishment to come on those we do not approve of, and start praying for God's will and mercy to be evident in their lives. We can be lead by the Spirit of Truth found in God's word that says, "The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peace makers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness" (James 3:17-18).

It is essential that we all seek to guard our hearts with the love of God because "love covers over a multitude of sins" (1 Peter 4:8). The Lord has warned us in Matthew 24:12 that the love of many will grow cold because of the increase of lawlessness, "but he who stands firm to the end will be saved" (v. 13). The only way of guarding our hearts is for our hearts to be bound to the Lord. Any places in our hearts that are not yielded to the Lord are areas of vulnerability to the enemy.

We must not pray for others out of a sense of frustration or anger. The greatest and safest prayer we can pray for ourselves and others is "THY will be done!" Not their will or our will, but pray earnestly for God's will to be accomplished in their life.

God Will Bless You

If you feel you have been the victim of soulish prayers or witchcraft, you may at times feel a heaviness or an ominous sense of failure. You may have an increase of strife in your relationships, experience confusion, or an overwhelming feeling of self-loathing. But take heart, half the battle is knowing what is attacking you.

Like it or not, you will need to pray for those who have prayed against you. Pray that their words against you will be powerless and that they will stop praying out of the will of God. Ask God to bless them with His peace, love, and mercy.

Above all else, we must forgive them, because they really do not realize what they are doing. They are victims of this unclean spirit as much as we are. "We wrestle not against flesh and blood" (Eph. 6:12), meaning: we do not fight each other, but we "wrestle" Satan and his demons. The enemy is our enemy. And we do not wrestle in the natural, but in the supernatural realm.

Repent of any unforgiveness you may be harboring against them or others and ask God to give you His unconditional love for them. And, if possible, be an encouragement to them - it will be very difficult for them to continue to hate you if you respond to them in love. Note: It may take time for the spiritual atmosphere around you to be cleared of all their prayers, so continue to cover yourself in prayer often.

Finally, be sure to watch how God will bless you through this, because in every trial we face, there is a blessing in it for us if we yield to God. If the enemy has targeted you, be encouraged by it, because he must know of something very powerful in your future or he wouldn't bother harassing you.

God wants to give you a dream for your future and implant the seeds of destiny in your heart. Just like a baby hidden in the womb, so are the promises God has given to us. He speaks to us of our future, to conceive within us His will and purpose for our lives.

Giving birth to your destiny is a difficult and exhausting process, but inevitably your misery will turn into joy and you will produce the product of grace that you have always dreamed of. You are much too close to the end to give up now. How do I know this? You have this book in your hands. Experience an impartation of God's grace and faith to fulfill all that He has for you.
 
"The Birth Of Your Destiny not only instructs you about theological facts pertaining to destiny, but the fact that this book is in your hands tells me that you are well on your way to the fulfillment of your destiny. It will provide important keys to unlocking the fullness of God's plan for your life." - By Francis Frangipane

Testimony from a Reader:
"I just finished reading your book [The Birth of Your Destiny]. When I picked it up to read it and read the back cover, a lump formed in my throat and tears came to my eyes. I knew God was going to do some work in me through this book. And He certainly is. I'm going through a very difficult time right now with many decisions to make and I simply didn't know which way to turn. But thanks to your obedience to the Lord, I am assured that everything's going to be more than ok and I can put the decisions in God's Hand and trust Him" - J.R.

"Breaking Christian Curses"
by Dennis Cramer
$15.00 Soft Cover Book OR
$15.00 E-Book
Is everything you do a struggle? Does a dark cloud seem to hang over your life? Are you trapped by feelings of abandonment and betrayal? Does severe hopelessness and chronic loneliness keep you paralyzed in debilitating despair? Are you immobilized by self-doubt and a persistent sense of overwhelming inferiority? You may be cursed! And you are not alone.

In this startling expose', Dennis Cramer details his 13-year battle with a "Christian" curse and how God not only miraculously exposed the source of the curse, but dramatically delivered him from its devastating effects. Could you be the victim of spiritual abuse? Could other Christians have pronounced failure and defeat over your life? In order to bring to light this terrible darkness, Dennis takes you on a journey into the evil world of "Christian" witchcraft, "Christian" cannibalism, and "Christian" curses - where you will not only be informed, but set free!
