FOREWORD
The Bible says that the people perish for lack of knowledge. The Bible also declares that we (Christians) are seated with Christ far above all principalities, powers, authorities, and dominions. In this book, Becky provides personal experience, the Word of God, prayers, and pledges to equip you to defeat the spirit of death in your life and to enforce the victory of Jesus in the lives of other people.
Becky Dvorak spent twenty-five years in the trenches of service for Christ Jesus in an orphanage in Guatemala. God performed many miracles through Becky during that time, including the raising of the dead. Now the Lord is releasing Becky to equip the Body of Christ in the earth realm on a much greater scale. Conquering the Spirit of Death is part of that assignment. Do not perish prematurely concerning your destiny on earth. Conquer and destroy the spirit of death in your life and finish the race God has given you to run in the Name of Jesus.

CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
W e are living in the last days, when the attacks of the enemy are fiercer and more frequent than ever before. But even though times are turbulent, our God is still greater than satan and all of his demons, including the spirit of death, and all of their wicked works.
No matter the times we are living in, the facts of God remain the same. He created us to be more than conquerors, and to live life on this earth in His victory.
The pages of this work are designed to equip you in the faith, to shed spiritual knowledge about what you are fighting against, and how to overcome the spirit of death.
Part One
THE SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL SIDE OF AN ATTACK FROM THE SPIRIT OF DEATH
P art One is dedicated to understanding the spiritual and emotional side of an attack of premature death. We will learn about the spirit of death, and some of its negative emotional partners. We will discuss why God is for us and satan is against us. And what part angels and demons play in all of this.
Chapter 1
THE SPIRIT OF DEATH
WORD OF THE LORD
The Spirit of the Lord would say to you this day, In this world you will have tribulation, you will pass through difficult times, but I say to you, I created you to win, to be victorious in every situation. I have equipped you with resurrection power, and that same Spirit that raised Me from the dead lives and resides within your very being. And I gave to you this same Spirit so that you could overcome the wiles of the enemy, that serpent of old. You be bold in who I created you to bea conqueror, an overcomer, and victorious.
I can remember years ago, as a young believer in Jesus, I was unlearned about demons and the power of death, sickness, and disease that they carry. We never talked about such things, and it was certainly not taught from the pulpit I sat under as a child. Depending upon your aliation of worship you were either expected to endure with the misconception that the evil attack was a blessing in disguise sent to you from God. Or you were expected to overcome with little to no training on how to do soeither stance often led to great tragedy, and it still does to this day.
And years later, while on the mission field I came under great physical attack. I knew it was not from God, but struggled to know how to be free from typhoid. The disease was in my body, and its attacks against my health were reoccurring. And each time it weakened my defenses against it, and it was worse than before.
This time it was a level 4, the worst it could be. My body was drained of all strength. I was fighting high fevers for days, and everything within me hurt so badly I just cried. The sickness took its toll on me, and I lost my desire to fight to live. And I asked the Lord to take me home.
