We are living in an hour where confusion, compromise, and counterfeit movements are rampant—not only in the world, but even in the Church. The Bible warns us of a spiritual system known as Babylon. It’s more than a city or a nation—it’s a spirit, a worldview, a counterfeit kingdom that seeks to exalt man and dethrone God. In this message, we’re going to expose the Babylon spirit and the spirit of this age, understand how it operates, and learn how to stand against it with discernment, authority, and unwavering hope.

I. What Is the Babylon Spirit?

The Babylon spirit is rooted in rebellion, self-exaltation, idolatry, and spiritual compromise. It first appears in Genesis at the Tower of Babel and continues throughout Scripture, ultimately culminating in the end-times system of Revelation.

Genesis 11:4 (NKJV) “And they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.’”

II. The Characteristics of the Babylon System

Isaiah 47:10 (NKJV) “For you have trusted in your wickedness; You have said, ‘No one sees me’; Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; And you have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’”

III. The Babylon Spirit in the Church and the Culture

2 Timothy 3:1–5 (NKJV) “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”

IV. How the Spirit of This Age Operates

Ephesians 2:1–2 (NKJV) “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.”

V. Why We Must Discern and Expose It

1 John 4:1 (NKJV) “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”

VI. How Do We Fight the Babylon Spirit?

1. By Walking in the Truth of God’s Word

John 17:17 (NKJV) “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.”

2. By Refusing to Compromise

Daniel 3:17–18 (NKJV) “If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will d
