1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. YES!By Claire LampanA few months ago I was praying and began to bring a situation before the Lord. I sensed Holy Spirit say - "Its a Political Spirit" . Strange; I had never heard of this term. I put 'Politcal Spirit' in google search to see if I could find anything about it. When I thought about the term political spirit; I sort of had an idea it matched some of the patterns of behaviours that were affecting the specific situation I was praying into.I was amazed to find this book was written with that SAME title. I ordered it straight away! The Political Spirit by Fazal Malick nailed it! I am so grateful for this revelation. It just confirms so much happening in many relational dynamics! Anyone who has come across the Jezebel Spirit or Religious Spirit; I would recommend this book as a reference from time to time.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A gem of revelationBy Ranee PereraThere is so much revelation on the political spirit in this book that the reader will appreciate the numerous experiences of the author's life stemming from his background in Islam. His original zeal is reflected in his post conversion passion for the Lord; and the persecution he went through. The roots of Ishmael and Esau are distinguished; and the Islamic pathway of ruling is separated off from apostolic government. The biblical record of the schemes of the Herodian dynasty and its alliances with other spirits gives prophetic insight into the present world governments. The relevance of God's Kingdom order for living confirms the shifts that are about to take place. Strongly recommended for those who are prepaing the way for the government of God.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A must have book! Based on Scriptural references on Old New Testaments of the Bible Torah!By Angie B.I have all three books written by Reverend Faisal Malick (Covenant of Life Ministries; Canada): "Here Comes Ishmael;" "The Destiny of Islam in End Times;" and "The Political Spirit."This man can write well. His complete comprehension on the Old and New Testaments provided me with the visions he received from our Lord G-d! Yes! I couldn't (at times) continue reading because every time I turn to a new chapter; it was as if I already seen in advance what was told to me in MY DREAMS! Reverend Malick's books really opened my eyes! Beginning with "Here Comes Ishmael!" I went back into my Bible and found the Scriptures he referenced (and explained them very well). I also enjoy his meditation points given in the end of each chapter. It is a reflective part on the material one finished reading. This is certainly a big plus for Biblical teachings! As well as for the Old Testament (Torah) teachings; too.While the printing press is available to print his books; I recommend highly to purchase all aforementioned books. You won't be disappointed.
