Summary: This is a sermon dealing with the spirit of rebellion. Number three in the spirit of Ishmael series
3 And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. (KJV)
You know the story he tries to hire Balaam to curse the people of God
Latter when he is unable to curse them
He leads them into immorality with the Moabite women
- And the curse that is upon them is brought against Israel
- The spirit of Ishmael that is at work in them is loosed in Israel by fornication and adultery
- The bible says when two come together in an act of sex the two become one flesh and as one flesh there is a transfer of spirits / curses
Num 25:1-3 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.

- Its desire is to lead you into a relationship with strange Gods
- It does it through immorality
It is an aggressive spirit
- It wants to curse you
- It wants to ensnare you
- Lead you into rebellion
It is the same spirit that is behind
- Homosexuality
- Feminism
- False religion
It is the spirit of the anti- Christ
- It opposes everything that is of God
- It opposes righteousness
- It opposes holiness
It promotes
- Ungodliness
- Unrighteousness
- Rebellion
Deut 23:2-3 A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
3 An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
This is a spirit God hates
It is a spirit he will never allow in His kingdom
“They shall not enter into the house of the Lord forever”
This is a spirit that God will judge
Ezek 25:1-11 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;
3 And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;
4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.
5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
6 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;
7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
