This spirit is responsible for the passing down of elements of a culture, philosophies, behaviors, and habits from generation to generation. This spirit works with the spirit of religion and the spirit of unbelief. It forms a strong hold that facilitates the rejection of truth, thus hindering true worship and revival. This spirit is a powerful gatekeeper that prohibits the preaching of the gospel within a particular culture, region, or nation, and initiates and instigates both the persecution and martyrdom of any child of God who dares to venture into its jurisdiction with the gospel.
