30 Decrees to Overcome the Spirit of Strife

Scripture for Meditation: "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds." — 2 Corinthians 10:4

Introduction: The spirit of strife is a demonic spirit that seeks to create conflict, argument, and division in your relationships. It is a spirit of a "I have to be right" attitude, of offense, and of a contentious spirit. It is a relationship-destroyer and a unity-killer. This spirit must be bound, and a spirit of peace, of humility, and of a "quick to listen, slow to speak" attitude must be loosed.
