The Violence Spirit, mentioned in Matthew 11:12 and Luke 16:16, is a malevolent entity that seeks to bring harm and destruction to our lives and relationships. It is a manifestation of Satan's power and is characterized by its ability to incite anger, hatred, and violence. In this sermon, we will explore how the Violence Spirit affects our lives, how it destroys our lives, and how to cast it out using the blood of Jesus. We will also provide Bible declarations to destroy the Violence Spirit in our lives.

2. Conflict and Strife (Proverbs 10:12): It causes conflict and strife in our relationships, leading to division and destruction.
3. Fear and Anxiety (1 John 4:18): The Violence Spirit uses fear and anxiety to control us, making us unable to move forward in our lives.
4. Destruction (Matthew 7:13-14): It seeks to destroy our lives and our relationships with God and others.
How it destroys our lives:
1. Spiritual Death (Genesis 2:17): The Violence Spirit leads us away from God's truth and into spiritual death.
2. Separation from God (Isaiah 59:2): It causes us to be separated from God, leading us to live in darkness and sin.
