Acknowledgments
Ifirst want to thank God who placed in my spirit to write this book. I give God the glory for everything He blesses me to do. Plus, I also thank two people who kept encouraging me the most: Pastor, Jim Blocker, and Sister Sherri Lewis.
Introduction
Istarted researching about different spirits to help myself. Then I realize it can help others. I also wrote how to overcome those spirits we battle with, whether we realize it or not. To overcome these spirits is by the Word of God.
We have to apply the Word of God to come against these spirits. It's the only way. Start by binding and loosing them. God's Word states, And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven
(Matthew 16:19 KJV). Take the time to learn about these different spirits that attack us on a daily basis. Pray always! Seeking God and studying His Word and deliverance is the only way to overcome these spirits. May God bless and keep us all. Amen!

Spirit of rejection (1 Peter 2:4 ESV)
Spirit of rejection —It is a sense of being unwanted and unable to receive love from others. It is an oppressive spirit that robs you of joy and peace. Oppression is defined as mental pressure or distress. It is a tactic used by the enemy to push or press you down into moods or emotions that block you from experiencing freedom and the presence of God's love in your life. This spirit taunts you with feelings of worthlessness. It also makes you question your identity in Christ Jesus and tells you are not fully adopted into God's family.
Examples of spirit of rejections:
Rejection of others can be defined as the act of pushing someone or something away. One may experience rejection from family members, friends, romantic partner, church members, coworkers, etc. And resulting emotions can often be painful.
Examples:
A friend ignoring a message about hanging out
A long-term partner leaving you for someone else
Your coworkers going to lunch and not inviting you
Your parents or siblings rarely talking to you
Church member's attitude: rude, ignoring you, treating you like you're nothing
Self-rejection—People who self-reject themselves often believe that they are not good enough or deserving of the things they have.
Examples:
Inability to trust God, excessive shyness, difficulty in loving others, self-criticism
Wishful comparison with others, overattention on clothes, floating bitterness
Perfectionism, attitudes of superiority, defects, extravagance, wrong priorities
Awkward, attempts to hide, unchangeable
Rejection of God—The deliberate rejection of God lies at the heart of human sins. It is seen in rebellion against God's authority, purpose, and instruction and results in the rejection of God's servants and ultimately in the rejection of His Son.
Examples:
Rejecting any claims that God exists or do not exist
Rejecting and not believing in His word
Rejecting God's Son, Jesus
The spirit of rejection is generationally caused by these reasons:
Neglect, selfishness, drug use
Physical, emotional, and sexual abuse
Repeated negative words and messages
Broken marriages and families
Inability to accept parental roles
Ten ways to know that the spirit of rejection is at work in your life:
You find yourself comparing your circumstances or situations with others, and you never seem to measure up.
You feel like you missed out on life's opportunities, and now it's too late.
No amount of encouragement is enough to convince you of your worth.
You feel rejected if you are not greeted or acknowledged by leaders.
You constantly seek the approval of others and suffer from people-pleasing.
You are easily offended or embarrassed from discipline or correction.
You are always trying to prove yourself in public.
You feel like you are on the outside looking in during interactions with people.
You think you could do a better job than the current leader or teacher if you are given the opportunity.
You believe no one understands you or what you are going through.
Answer:
Bind: Spirit of rejection (1 Peter 2:4 ESV)
Loose: Spirit of adoption (Romans 8:15 KJV)
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. (Matt. 16:19 KJV)
References: 1 Peter 2:4 ESV; Romans 8:15 KJV
Spirit of antichrist (1 John 4:3 KJV)
Spirit of antichrist denies that Jesus is the Christ, denies the Father and Son. Anyone who teaches that Jesus is one of the ways to God does not acknowledge that Jesus is from God. Teachers of falsehood are spreading the doctrines of demons, teaches against Christ, and does not acknowledge that Jesus came in the flesh from God.
Examples
Denies the deity of Christ
Denies the atoning of Jesus
Against Christ and His teachings
Humanism—stresses the importance to human values rather than divine values
Worldly speeches and actions
Teachers of heresies
Anti-Christian
Deceiver
Lawlessness/rebellion
Six things to know about the Antichrist:
Desires to deceive peoples into a false view of who Jesus really is
Twists the truth about Jesus Christ to pervert the gospel
Works to spread lies about Christ and keeps people in the dark
Father of lies
Who tries to leave the whole world astray
He will think of himself greater than God.
Answer:
Bind: Spirit of Antichrist (1 John 4:3 KJV)
Loose: Spirit of truth (John 16:13 KJV)
And I will give unto thee the keys to the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever
