Binding the Fainting Spirit

There is a power fights against a man to give access to the fainting spirit.  A child of God must be alert always to ensure that the fainting spirit is not working. The fainting spirit is the spirit that makes a man stay at the tail region when he is supposed to be at the top; the man will find it difficult to become who God wants him to become.; This fainting spirit need to be identified and be bound.

Binding the fainting Spirit

"If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small." {Prov 24:10}

There are the key things seen in the scripture

1. There is a day known as the day of adversity. It is the day of the day of attack of the enemy. This is when the enemy comes to attack you directly. This is the day of adversity. Nobody is Immune against it. Even Jesus was also faced with the day of adversity. In this day you must not fail.

The day of adversity of Joseph was the day Potiphar wife said come and lay with me.

May you not fail on in your day of adversity in the name of Jesus.

2. Your spiritual strength is a major player in the day of your adversary

It is not your title, position or your certificate that will deliver you in the day of adversity

"But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,"{Jude 1:20}

You need to build up yourself because of the day of adversary

3. It is totally your responsibility not to allow the fainting spirit to overcome you.

It says; “if thou faint" it means you are the one that will determine whether to faint or not to faint.

In tits days, it is now becoming more difficult to live a life of God

The reason is in the scriptural

"And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." {Matt 24:12}

Iniquity is higher than sin.

Ø Iniquity is so great and destroys the soul; Let him that fears the lord, depart from iniquity. There have to be a conscious departure from iniquity

There are eight words the Bible used to describe something God does not like;

v Abomination;

v Transgression.

v Trespasses.

v Evil.

v Wickedness.

v Unrighteousness.

v Sin

v Iniquity

Sin was not found in Satan but iniquity was found in him.

Iniquity is the anti-nature of God

Ø You need to locate the iniquity you are born with and deal with it.

David says; “I was shapen in iniquity”

Ø Sin is outside the body while iniquity is within.

Ø To remove sin, confess, inquiry purge by the blood and the fire of the hooky ghost

People that Committed Iniquity in the Bible

Esau committed a great iniquity.

Esau was overcome by the fainting spirit therefore he satisfied the iniquity in him.

He sold his birth right, he despised his birth right; He sold the virtue that God deposited in him.

He committed iniquity by disregarding the virtue God gave him.

Iniquity is to Disregarding the treasure God has planted in you.

Iniquity prospers on the platform of the fainting spirit.
