Oh, no, no, you're still a real one.

Go away, go away.

You know, it's paranoia and fear.

So again,

Don't be ruled by fear.

God didn't give you a spirit of fear.

Don't be ruled by paranoia.

Don't send someone away before they've even got a chance to show their fruit.

Well, let me tell you about the provoking spirit, okay?

So the provoking spirit is probably one of the enemy's favorites, right?

So basically what this spirit will do, and this can be in all of us.

I've had a provoking spirit.

You know, we've all at some point probably provoked somebody to react, even when we were kids.

So this spirit will poke and prod you to get you out of character.

To make you look a certain way so they can document it.

They can point fingers and say, see, see, that's that's the person I'm talking about while they just very quietly sit in the corner.

And this is why God says to us, be slow to speak, quick to listen.

OK, so the provoking spirit, the whole goal of that.

Is to get you out of character because we have anger, we have rage, we have upset and we can act out of emotion like you just said.

Premeditated, they premeditate the provoking.
