The Rules of Engagement

S pirit of A bsalom The spirit of Absalom is a renegade spirit that uses seduction and pretense in order to fulfill its diabolical operations. It is designed to undermine and destroy purpose, potential, and the influence and authority of men and women of God who hold strategic positions in the kingdom of God. Transferring loyalty from one person to another, it’s plan is to divide and conquer. It forms a very strong alliance with the spirit of perversion and the spirit of Ahithophel in order to execute its strategies and plans. This spirit defies divine authority and attempts to deny a believer his basic human and kingdom rights. Individuals who harbor bitterness and unforgiveness are easily overtaken by this spirit and begin to move with a vengeance, force fully and decisively sticking to the nerve center of an organization, ministry, or relationship until it is brought under their control and authority.
