Spirit of unbelief

 

 

 

Baal is still very much an idol today. And if our repentance is to be complete, we have to tear this idol down. Otherwise, it won't matter how much we cry out to God, pray or fast. None of our actions will have any impact whatsoever, until we pull down the idol that has taken hold of so many hearts.

You may ask, "So, what is this Baal? Where do I see it at work? How could an ancient false god be present in our modern society?"

In our enlightened age, we can't imagine any intelligent person bowing down to a carved idol. Certainly, there are still heathen religions that use such images in worship, including Buddhism, Hare Krishna and Hinduism. But whether the idol is Baal, Buddha or any of the millions of Hindu gods, the same demonic spirit is behind it, A powerful spirit .

And this spirit is sent forth from hell for one purpose: to cause people to doubt the reality of God.

It is a spirit of unbelief, plain and simple. And it assaults our minds with doubts about God's faithfulness.

Without question, unbelief is an idol. It bends you down in submission to its power. And it opens up your soul to all kinds of evil.

The Baal spirit of unbelief moves in and sets up an altar.
