The spirit of sabotage is raging in this season. It’s one of the enemies that’s roaring around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). He wants to steal, kill and destroy any area of your life he can target and he’s using sabotage to do it.
You don’t need a prophet to tell you that we’re in a critical transition. Many are moving into new assignments. Many are rebuilding ruined cities. Many are crossing thresholds of breakthrough. And that’s exactly why this spirit of sabotage is raging.
What Is the Spirit of Sabotage?
The spirit of sabotage is a demonic force that seeks to undermine, obstruct, and destroy the progress of God’s people, especially in moments of advancement. It lures in subtly and works behind the scenes to delay destinies, abort assignments, frustrate plans, and fracture relationships.
Sabotage is more than a setback—it’s a spiritually engineered demolition. It works like Judas: close enough to kiss you, yet plotting your downfall. It manifests through betrayal, internal collapse, miscommunication, disunity, and untimely missteps. It uses people, circumstances, and even emotions to do its dirty work.
In the book of Nehemiah, we see this spirit personified in Sanballat and Tobiah, who mocked, ridiculed, and conspired to stop the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls (Nehemiah 4:7-8). It’s a spirit that hates progress—especially Kingdom progress.

Why Is It Attacking So Strongly Right Now?
Because you’re closer than you think.
Hell is nervous. The enemy can sense when God’s people are about to step into fresh territory. He knows that reformation is in the air. He can feel the rumble of awakening under his feet. And the spirit of sabotage is his preemptive strike.
Here’s why it’s so intense right now:
- We’re in a birthing season. The enemy always attacks hardest at the point of crowning. Sabotage wants to abort the promise before it’s born (Revelation 12:4).
- Many are stepping into mantles they were born to carry. When God calls a Gideon or an Esther to rise, sabotage attempts to disqualify them through fear, self-doubt, or relational entanglements.
- The Church is shifting. Apostolic and prophetic reformers are repositioning. God is restructuring His house—and hell hates order, especially Kingdom order.
- Doors are opening fast. Opportunities ordained by God are being released—but sabotage tries to shut those doors through confusion, deception, or even exhaustion (1 Corinthians 16:9).
- You’re a threat. Sabotage targets those who carry weight in the spirit. If you’re being hit hard, it may be because your assignment carries power to disrupt the enemy’s agenda in your region or sphere of influence.
What Does It Look Like?
The spirit of sabotage isn’t always obvious. It creeps in subtly. It works like a saboteur on a ship—drilling holes in the bottom just as the vessel is about to set sail.
The spirit of sabotage is real—and it’s raging. But greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). This is not the time to retreat. It’s the time to discern, stand, battle back.
