THE DOG SPIRIT

Somewhere somebody wrote about the dog spirit and I was very intrigued by it. Upon meditation and looking at the Word of God I realized that this spirit is totally anti-Christ and works very actively against the Spirit of Christ in the believer.
My neighbor says that his dogs especially bark a lot at two occasions. When the mailman comes and we already know from others that it is when God wants to talk to us or when we need to hear from God; then the enemy will do everything in his power to prevent the true and clear message from God. The mailman is the Holy Spirit and the dog spirit actively resist the Holy Spirit.
The second time my neighbors dogs really bark a lot - actually the dogs goes ballistic is when the trash truck comes to remove the trash. This is so interesting to me because the meaning is very clear that the dog spirit resist the cleaning up and the confession and acknowledgement of sin in our lives. Even when we can impress others it is not really my fault or I have a small contribution to the state of affairs - the dog spirit will keep you from getting rid of the trash in your life. Trash in your life eventually calls for bugs and insects and rats and all kinds of evil stuff. So the dog resists the conviction of sin by the Holy Spirit and also the application of the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin and unrighteousness. I knew some people who are always right and find it very difficult to apologize for anything - there are always reasons for the status quo. The dog spirit is a very proud spirit. Pride…. How long will you accommodate the dog spirit and then you wonder why the Holy Spirit does not work through you.....
The dog is also a territorial animal. It marks it's territory by urinating at key areas... It is a territorial spirit and wants to confine you to a certain spiritual condition. Any other spirit inside that area must give way to that spirit. It wants and demands reigning rights. By saying yes to the dog spirit you cannot be under the Lordship of Christ. The dog spirit resists the Holy Spirit and the reign of Christ in our lives.
Lastly the dog is a filthy animal- it smells other dogs and one bitch will mate with many dogs. They are unclean and love filth. The dog spirit will resist purity in your life.Do you like filth?
Now clearly understand this that the good Spirit in Christ wants to work in us in certain ways and also through us in certain ways. He first work in us before He can work through us! By the way Christ means the Messiah the anointed one or the Lord's annoited and His anointing. I the Old Testament three people were annoited - the prophet, the priest and the king! Let us look at it:-
1. Prophetically - bringing mail - speaking to us!
2. Priestly - cleansing of sin by the blood and gospel of Jesus Christ - taking away the trash!
3. Royal - Kingly rulership - reigning in and from the heavens and in our "territory" by the same Christ.
4. Purity - Living a pure and Godly lifestyle. All these offices Christ was and still is and will be prophet, priest and king.
The dog spirit actively resists Christ but when we become more and more like Him and the same Spirit anointing that raised Him from the dead starts working in you, hey some persons suddenly becomes dogs in their relationship with you! Telling the most hideous dirt stories or trying to lure you away or barking at you and your message even to the point that they become very annoyed and angry at you....Rejoice because the right spirit works in you. Some people call one another hey dog or you are my dog....who let the dogs out?
Actively choose for the Holy Spirit and resist the dog spirit - identify it for what it is and get rid of it! The word of the Lord is clear- Those who are pure will become purer and they will take in their position with Christ as prophet, priest and king. He is the King of Kings not the King of foolishness! Take up our position in Christ (reposition yourself for blessing!) and become and seek actively a lifestyle of purity that flows from that position. Christ both the power and wisdom of God - I cannot do it without Him. To Christ my all and all...
