Lisa Bevere Reveals the ‘Attack of a Dragon’ in America
Our nation has never been under such a spiritual attack as it is today. One of the biggest facets of this spiritual battle is the enemy’s tactic against males and females, the image in which each of us was created to reflect God and His glory.
In an interview with Charisma Media, Lisa Bevere discussed why the enemy is pressing so hard into this area to destroy our culture.

“The enemy does not want the image of God to be clear and strong in our earth right now, and it is more than a gender ideology,” Bevere says. “It is [an] attack of a dragon…the enemy’s goal is to attack the very formation of the generations, hoping that they will never trust God with their transformation.”
Bevere says that this attack against who we are as children of God began all the way back in the Garden of Eden.
“When we begin to see this division and this questioning of divine purpose and divine identity, it’s worked it’s way all the way out,” she says. “He [Satan], knows that houses divided fall, kingdoms divided fall.”
“He doesn’t need a new strategy. It’s always worked. He always questions the goodness of God. He always wants us to grasp at being our own God, to remake ourselves in our own image. And so, this is all woven and consistent,” Bevere continues. “We have invited the enemy’s strongholds into our nation, and it’s so apparent with what is going on right now in our culture. There are so many things that you’re like, ‘That doesn’t make any sense.’ Well, it will never make sense when it’s demonic.”

Bevere also discussed how it is the enmity between Satan and women that has been a battle throughout generations, one of the reasons why Jesus came as the seed of a woman.
“Jesus came through a woman independent of a man. A man was not involved in that; the Holy Spirit overshadowed her,” Bevere says. “And so God is saying, ‘Hey, women have always been part of my redemptive plan.’ And the enemy is like, ‘I hate them.’ So now, we have not just a woman, not just Mary, not just Israel, we have the church. We see in Revelation 12:17: ‘And then the dragon was enraged with the woman, and we can make war against her children.'”
Bevere asserts that women need to see God’s divine purpose in creating them just as they are, with good and beautiful plans for their lives. It is not His will for men and women to be at war with one another, but rather it is God’s intention for the two to work in harmony together.
“We’ve got this male and female being pitted against one another,” she says. “Somehow they knew that male and female together equaled a power union. So, they created a power struggle…so everything that we’re seeing right now we’re looking at it in the culture as a face value, but we need to look behind and understand there is a dragon in the shadows.”
In John 17:21-23, Jesus prayed and asked the heavenly Father for the believers to be united as they are united. “That they may all be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You. May they also be one in Us, that they world may believe that You have sent Me. I have given them the glory which You gave Me, that they may be one even as We are one: I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfect in unity, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.”

God does not desire for His children to be divided or to despise their role in His plan to bring His kingdom here to earth. He has made each of us with a great purpose, and we are to seek Him above all things first and foremost.
