As a stealth and sinister conspirator, he sent his henchman into the city of promise. He orchestrated the visceral wails of young mothers.
The horsemen of the holocaust…
Their hooves crushing the hearts of the mothers.
Cruelty felt palpable that horrid night.
I’d rather skip this story. There’s nothing good in all the unspeakable, gratuitous violence other than a reminder that the enemy of Christ is real. And the enemy of the innocent remains on this Earth. It is the spirit of Herod that stands opposing the Spirit of God.
The spirit of Herod seeks to destroy anyone it feels threatened by.
The spirit of Herod gladly murders children for personal gain.
The spirit of Herod believes he is not culpable as long as the sword is not actually in his hand.
The spirit of Herod, tells lies to unsuspecting bystanders in the hopes they will do his work.
The spirit of Herod will never be satisfied, because his stomach is never too full for violence.
And to be sure, the spirit of Herod is among us today. Even though we can’t hear the wailing mothers or the rattling swords. The spirit of Herod thrives. Just because you don’t hear, see, smell or touch this reality, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. It’s in the abortion mills, the bidding rooms, the brothels of the third world, and the halls of governing bodies.
The slaughter of the innocents may seem like such an ancient holocaust but just because it’s digitized, jet-lagged, and modernized doesn’t discount the genocide. Just because you don’t hear the Syrian orphans or the mourning mothers of Darfur, doesn’t mean in the least that they don’t exist. We don’t intimately acquaint ourselves with these horrors, but they are there. Today. Right now. The suffering is sure as sand.
The spirit of Herod remains.
The target of the suffering is the sacrifice delayed. Delayed but sure for 33 years…
Delayed suffering would give birth to redemption for every broken heart of Bethlehem.
God spoke to me 17 years ago about a spirit of Herod this is the 1st time that I’ve actually found That’s the spirit actually exist I feel as though this is Very prevalent in today’s world
We recently discovered the spirit of Herod in a deliverance. He has no face so he could not speak, thus it is my thought he goes under the radar during most deliverances. Another demon revealed who he was. We had to hive him ears to hear and a mouth to speak. Turns out his only assignment is death. He was been present in every deliverance session we have ministered since this revelation. It is my prayer this is beneficial and blesses someone.
he will fall in the name of Jesus Christ as the victor. Every knee shall bow the blood of Jesus Christ is upon the children of God.
I just realize I need to pray more for all young mothers and the ones who already have children and going through depression. Now I understand why some mothers harm their children but Jesus over came the world.
Jesus is the Truth, the Way, and the Life.
It wants to bring death instead of life in Christ. Thank God for the resurrection, death is defeated. Herod is and can be very popular in society. Don’t be fooled. Put your trust in Jesus. Better to deny man than deny God.
This was preached from Acts 12 last night in church. I can’t unheard it. Oh my God, so deep!
