- The spirit of Cain - conflict, violence, and murder -
05/09/2022 - 4:29AM
I just awoke from a dream where I had two instances with members of the Body of Messiah where I was thrown out of a man's van in one instance and in the other instance, I was asked to leave a local assembly that existed in the dream because my opinion and insights were not welcome anymore.
In the first instance with the van, we were just driving and I don't even remember the comment that I said, but the man just turned to me and said, "you know I don't like you," and called me some name, but I don't remember what it was.
Immediately, he slammed on his breaks and told me to get out of his van and I had to walk a few blocks back to the house we just left.
In the next instance, we were at a local house assembly and there was some type of verbal conflict within the home and they suggested that we just cancel the assembly altogether.
I told them that the Scripture tells us to not forsake the fellowship of the Brethern, and about the benefits of an in-person fellowship from edification, uplifting, etc.
Once again, I was immediately asked to leave and told that my input and opinions were not welcomed.
Upon awakening, I immediately thought about brother turning against brother from Matthew 10, which is from Micah 7:6.
Mat 10:21 “And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and a father his child. And children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death.
Not Peace, but a Sword
Mat 10:34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword,1 Footnote: 1In Lk. 12:51 the word “division” is used, while “sword” has the same meaning here.
Mat 10:35 for I have come to bring division, a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law –
Mat 10:36 and a man’s enemies are those of his own household.1 Footnote: 1Lk. 12:53, Mic. 7:6.
Mat 10:37 “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me, and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.1 Footnote: 1See 19:29, Lk. 14:26.
Mat 10:38 “And he who does not take up his stake and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
Mat 10:39 “He who has found his life shall lose it, and he that has lost his life for My sake shall find it.
Mic 7:1 Woe to me! For I am as gatherings of summer fruit, as gleanings of the grape harvest. There is no cluster to eat. My being has desired the first-ripe fruit.
Mic 7:2 The kind one has perished from the earth, and there is no one straight among men. All of them lie in wait for blood, everyone hunts his brother with a net.
Mic 7:3 Both hands are on the evil, to do it well. The prince asks for gifts, the judge seeks a bribe, and the great man speaks the desire of his being. And they weave it together.
Mic 7:4 The best of them is like a prickly plant, the most straight is sharper than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchman and your punishment has come, now is their confusion.
Mic 7:5 Trust no friend, rely on no companion, guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your bosom.
Mic 7:6 For son is despising father, daughter rises up against her mother, daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, the enemies of a man are the men of his own house.
Mic 7:7 As for me, I look to יהוה, I wait for the Elohim of my deliverance, my Elohim does hear me.
Rev 6:3 And when He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.”
Rev 6:4 And another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was given to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another. And a great sword was given to him.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are for spirits: We gain this insight by looking at Zechariah 6.
The Second Horsemen is given the authority to take peace (shalom) from the earth, that they should slay one another (this could mean verbally, but of course physically as well)
I believe that this spirit that's associated with the Second Horsemen is the same spirit that crouched at the door in Cain's life.
A spirit of murder or hatred for our fellow brother or sister.
Gen 4:5 but He did not look to Qayin and his offering. And Qayin was very wroth, and his face fell.
Gen 4:6 And יהוה said to Qayin, “Why are you wroth? And why is your face fallen?
Gen 4:7 “If you do well, is there not acceptance? And if you do not do well, sin1 is crouching at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should master it.”
Gen 4:8 And Qayin told Heḇel his brother. And it came to be when they were in the field, that Qayin rose up against Heḇel his brother and killed him.
Gen 4:9 And יהוה said to Qayin, “Where is Heḇel your brother?” And he said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s guard?”
Gen 4:10 And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.
Gen 4:11 “And now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
As the Sifting increases in its intensity, we must continue to guard against allowing this spirit to take hold in us.
Mat 5:21 “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.
Mat 5:22 “But I say to you that whoever is wroth with his brother without a cause shall be liable to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raka!’ shall be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to fire of Gehenna.
Mat 5:23 “If, then, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother holds whatever against you,
Mat 5:24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first make peace with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
Mat 5:25 “Be well-minded with your opponent, promptly, while you are on the way with him, lest your opponent deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
Mat 5:26 “Truly, I say to you, you shall by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.
We must pray against the spirit of offense, hatred, and murder.
I had recently heard a video about this topic regarding someone else's dream, but I can't find it at the moment. If i find it I will come back and edit this post.
Heb 13:5 Let your way of life be without the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have. For He Himself has said, “I shall never leave you nor forsake you,”
Heb 13:6 so that we boldly say, “יהוה is my helper, I shall not fear what man shall do to me.”
Shalom and blessings to you all
Thanks for reading
