Good afternoon believers of Christ, thank God for the growth of this thread. I used to follow actively before, but i had to stop cos the stories on the spiritual were pretty scary then(didn't know God hadn't given me the spirit of fear, i don't have it, it doesn't exist in me) but to God be praises, am back in the gathering now, not as a Ghostreader but by the grace of God I'll be actively participating. ******** i know the thread is also an avenue to reach out to fellow believers to ask questions on the things of God. Well, to start with, I'd love to seek an advice on the rate at which i ought to study my bible daily. I tried 13verses a day to cover the bible in 3months but i couldn't carry on. I've tried so many bible plans but it hasn't helped me. I've found out am not disciplined in managing my time effectively, aside that observation, i also think its because am eager to finish the bible in a year. I'd really need a brethen's hand on how to go about this. Thanks

MizyB, I must say your life's story is quite encouraging and inspirational. You are a living testament of God's transformation power available to anyone who believes in Christ as Lord and Saviour, and comes to God in genuine repentance.

For your question, I think you could make do with any good daily devotionals available. there are quite a number of good ones out there, and if you have regular access to internet data on your phone, i could also link you up to receive daily 10minute devotional bible readings/short messages every morning to start off your day. It's called My Secret Place Devotional, and you can receive it daily on facebook or whatsapp. These are just a few ways to help you create a system around you to help you maintain a daily word study life.

thank U so much sir. I will give it a try, though i must say, i always fare well in the beginning but i am never consistent. I read my bible everyday, but i want consistency in the number of verse or chapter and hours spent

Pls come in, brothers Fischer and Collinseegreat needs your help. Am but a child here.
But if you need me to pray for them. That's where my strength lies . lol

Yeah.. I have discussed Fischer's dream with him privately.


I believe Collins needs to structure his working hours in a convenient way to enable him attend his church weekday programs.

God bless you Analice.

Whizzdom:


I can i know the kind of spiritual gift that i have and how can i develop it?

Ofcourse you can..
* Just go to God in prayers. He will drop it into your heart the moment you ask Him what He wants you to do for Him.

So the prayer should be 'Lord what can I do for you'?
You will discover it by working for God.


*Developing it will come gradually as you dig more into things of God and build a stronger relationship with the Holy Spirit.

God bless you dear.

goodmorning brethren. Dis morning i have spiritual prescription for every born again child of God who is still struggling with demonic oppression and torment. D truth is dat demons understand their boundary and dey will do their best to keep u ignorant of it cos they know as long as d heir is still a child, he is not different from a servant. D spiritual realm is far above d kingdom of darkness. As a matter of fact if you do not put d realm of darkness in its rightful position, you can't make spiritual progress.
How scared of demons are you?
. For believers still afraid of demons, it is because you don't know who ur father is. You think demons are scary? please take a quick glance at the book of ezekiel chapter 1 and see how d Bible described Cherubims. In dat vision, ezekiel saw 4 Cherubims before d throne of God. Do you realize dat d devil is just one out of many Cherubims in glory? There are several Spirits far greater than the devil in Glory. D Bible tells us that the sit of the devil was at eden. The greater the level of Spirits, the more closer they are to the throne of God. Before the throne, there are the seven Spirits of God and then d 24 Elders, Seraphims, Cherubims (of higher class than satan) etc. Do you see how dis rubbished the devil.
Hierarchy of God's Creation
Dis are the hierarchy of things created
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Colossians 1:16 KJV
God still has all thrones and dominion on His side. D devil was able to get just 1/3 of principalities under his control.
My spiritual prescription for all who wanna leave d level of wrestling demons and move on to Sonship is to finish d whole chapter 1 of colossians. As a matter of fact just try and meditate on d whole of ephesians chapter 1-3 until it becomes a part of your spirit man wait for d demon to come, don't pray just stare at it, it will know you are past its hold and never come back.
The church needs to take our Right standing in God
Christians do you know dat the angels are supposed to learn about the wisdom of God from us. Dis is wat scripture says.
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Ephesians 3:9-11 KJV
well, remember I said dis post was for believers so if you are one of those people who do not believe everything in the bible or u r involved in anything d Bible calls abomination i.e witchcraft, sorcery, necromancy, divination, contact with familiar spirits and involve in star gazing, palm reading, astrology etc, you need to b scared of demons cos dey will eventually kill u if u don't repent

Brethren.
I had a dream this night.
In the dream, I needed to buy something, so I went out. All of a sudden, I found myself in an area full of some creatures. They were few normal humans (men) there. I can't fully describe these beings. (Me, I don't see demons, so I don't know how they look). Well, from the descriptions I get here, I think these beings could be them. Very ugly creatures. Black in colour. I didn't say complexion, I said colour. They were black like the colour black. Like black paint. The things were longish, limpless. It's hard for me to put words to this, serious. It seemed they didn't have feet or palms. Their faces were smooth, no nose or mouth. But they alive and standing, and were holding old rusted knives and, were brandishing the knives. I was wondering how they were able to grab the knives without palms.
It appeared it was a festival of some sort going on. I think they were waiting for something to happen or someone to come. I don't know, maybe I was invisible to them, because as far as they were concerned, I didn't exist. I wasn't suppose to be in their midst, and non of them paid me any attention. So I started leaving. It was hard for me to meander through them and get to a clear place. But I did.

I Went a little further away from this group, then I met another group of people. This were all girls, teenagers who wore school uniforms, a large group, blocking the entire way. I saw one I recognised, we greeted. I made to pass through them, they stopped me. A girl of about 19 or so, their leader, charged at me. Wow, what happened next, happened so fast. I spinned like a tornado we see in films. When I came to, she was lying on the floor. I Started beating this girl. By now I was very angry in my spirit. I put my hands in mouth, I wanted to tear her face into two. Separate her upper face from the lower. I dragged her on the floor, by her upper teeth away from her gang, they stood transfixed, powerless to do anything. I was dragging her on the ground when I woke up.

Hummm....the symbols, lets see the symbols first

1. Your spirit man
2. demonic spirits
3. human spirits or witchcraft coven (one of which was an acquaintance/friend)

You were shield from the demonic spirits, you passed in-between them like Jesus passed through the mob, they didnt see you. Then came the human spirits or gang of witches, their leader led an attack and got the beating of her life.

Your Angels are doing a thorough and good job of protection, your spirit man is fully active and in form, cant be dominated nor initiated. It is a good one, watch out for friends and acquaintances sha, they are the ones satan use or try to use to break into our wall of covering and defense. Demons may dare not enter a Christian's dwelling place but people under demonic influence can; to sow seeds and breakdown wall of defense for demons to now gain access, Trojan horse kinda. This is a revelation of victory, just sing to worship and thank God.

umehmj:


another thing is i have this uncanny memory or i should say a gift. as a grown guy i used to tell my mom my childhood events and things i remember but she swears that somebody must have told me cos those events happened when i was just months old, but then only her was the only witness of those events and she never told me of them. I also see things before they happen, trouble is i don't remember them until they start happening..

CharlyG1:
@ Umehmj.. Wow! I thank U for sharing your experience.. U definitely have a gift. Nice one. Its true, very few people would believe people like us

I'm yet to read the whole thread but I just read the first few posts today. I have this to say . I believe in the supernatural and taking authority over demons but a word of caution .Every gift of God Comes with the infilling of the Holy Ghost You see but supernatural gifts so called from childhood most of the times are demonic

. The Bible calls it spirit of divination . Except in some cases where such a child has been Introduced to Christ from childhood. I've Met some Christians who claim they had gifts from childhood with ability to see and When I pray for them after sharing this truth ,I always see a manifestation of demons through them which I had to Cast out. Then I minister the holy spirit to them and they can now function in the gift of prophecy instead of divination.

Thank you very much sir. Friends have dealt with me in the past, I don't keep friends like that again. The friends I have are the ones we meet in church fellowships. As am getting deeper into Christ the few that were around are receding into the background. They can't always be in church, I can't hang out with them. Am always talking about the Bible, they want to discus men and money, so I bore them. Right now, any onek who will not add value to my life spiritually, shd step aside.
Jesus is coming soon, if he doesnt meet me here, I will meet him there. It's the same thing.

Godbless my brethren .

It's three days to say goodbye to 2015. Its been a good year for me. One of the things I really thank God for this year, is meeting the godly folk I met on this forum and in this thread. I am so grateful to God, because I can ask and receive counsel from brethren here.

Well, to some, its been a year of unfulfilled dreams, unachieved goals, delayed desires. But not to worry. Man count years, God doesn't.

My devotion this morning was more or less a discussion with the holy spirit. I ask questions and I let him answer. So let me share our dialogue.

Please let me title it.

JESUS, THE RESURRECTION.
JOHN 11:20-22.
there's a way I study, a sermon can come out from just 1 verse.
so here we go.
introduction; Reading this passage of the Bible, we are made to understand that Lazarus and his sisters were the Master's personal friends. They knew Him closely. He visited them often. He ate in their house. They looked forward to him coming every time he was in the region.

Like every human, Lazarus fell very ill, sick unto death. They knew He could heal him without issues. They had seen Him heal others, so they sent for Him, He didn't come. probably didn't even send a word back to comfort them. They knew that Jesus knew how serious the matter was, he didn't need to be told. They still went on to inform him about it. He still didn't showup.

Lazarus Waited for his friend until he died. His friend didn't come. 4days after he had started decaying, he came. To do what now? To mock? to watch us mourn? One may ask.

Martha may have asked. Master, what is the point of you coming now? IF YOU HAD COME WHEN WE SENT FOR YOU, MY BROTHER WOULD NOT HAVE DIED. Now he is dead. its too late. What is the point of having you as a friend, if you can't be here in a time like this?

You could be asking the same questions right now like Martha

From January to December, I have prayed, fasted. trusted you, obeyed you. won souls, evangelised, I gave to the poor. I never missed any church service. I followed every instruction through. Yet, am still here. Do you really care?

Why this delay? Its just three days and the year will end. Shld I ve gone to do it as my friends does it? Why am I still single? shd I go ahead and marry an unbeliever like my friends? shd I ve visited that prophet or prophetess? I prayed for that contract. I did everything right, yet they gave it to the other person.

I prayed for the fruit of the womb, my period still came. This pain is still here. My visa is still delayed. I thought that by this year I could complete that project. NOW THE YEAR HAS Ended. What's the point of trusting you. Or is it true like the atheist say, that you don't exist? So on and so forth.

Ves22
BUT Martha said, "but I know that EVEN NOW, WHATSOEVER thou asketh of your father, He shall give it thee.

When I read this, was when my questions started.
I said, okay, now what? Lazarus has been dead 4days. Now decay has set in. What's the point?

23. Jesus says, I AM THE RESURRECTION and THE LIFE. He that believe in me, though was dead shall live and those that live shall not die. AH.

Here is where I got stocked.
Holy Spirit, what does that even mean? How is Christ the Resurrection? (knowing this time, he had not died nor resurrected yet) I closed my Bible, closed my eyes, closed my physical ears, switched on my spirit man.

I heard him say, Open your eyes. Look at the sun. He said, defined the sun, I did. He said, give the characteristics of the sun. I did.

The sun gives life, light and heat to earth. The sun is the light. It's not part of the light. Without the Sun, life on earth dies. Every brightness is likened to the sun, not the other way round.
(Life may not die immediately in the absence of the sun. But it's dead, it's just a matter of time)

He said, so it is with Christ. Christ is Life. He can give life to who ever or whatever, at anytime he dims it fit. The issue is not whether He can give Life. The issue is, Is He willing to give it, and when?

Martha said, EVEN NOW whatever you ask.

But they asked Lord! Why didn't you give? Why didn't you ask your father for healing for your friend Lazarus, why let him die first?
Which would ve been easier, to heal him or to raise him up?

He said to me, The case of Lazarus is the same with the case of the man born blind. It has nothing to do with his parents or him, just like it has nothing to do with Lazarus being sick, dying and getting resurrected.
He said to me, there are two issues here.
1 Lazarus' Family/Blind man.
2. The general public(Jews) or in our case gentles
He said, "For me, it is not about healing the sick or raising the dead, it's about pointing man to God".

Whatever is normal doesn't fascinate man, so man remains with the Idea that's it's all about himself.
He dies in his sins, without knowing it.

But my heart breaks to see man go the way he is going. So, I have to raise questions in their hearts by doing this things. If I had come when Martha sent for me. The Jews wouldn't know what happened. If Batimeus didn't grow up blind, many Jews would not ve sought to know how possible that could be. If I had gone when Martha sent for me, they wouldn't learn patience and discipline in ministry.

If I had gone when they wanted me, the name of Lazarus, would be just be a name. But today, anywhere the name Lazarus is mentioned, people know him. MY DELAY MADE HIM FAMOUS.

He said, there's a time for waiting. Not fasting or prayer. But RESTING IN ME. ALLOW ME. WAIT.
He said, His Children are too much in a hurry, that's because they measure achievements by what their friends have. He said, too many of His Children are too anxious, fearful of failure, terribly bothered about too many things.

Worrying about things not turning out the way they planned them or the speed they expected. so in a state of anxiety and fear, they pray and fast. And in that state, I will not answer them, becos I do not want you to come to me in fear. Come to me in love.

He said, I want you to tell me your challenges, not because I don't know them, but I want you to depend on me, in love. Tell me what you want, BUT don't tell me how you want me to do it, and When you want it. I don't walk/work with your time. I will do it, in my time.

He said, He created everyman to handle just one assignment on earth. But man is not even interested to find out what his assignment is, that's why he is so worried trying to do 100things that doesn't concern him.

He said, The spiritual is not fascinated by signs and wonders. And I don't perform signs and wonders to show off. It's not to flex ego. There are only necessary to raise questions in the hearts of men, and for those questions to gets answers men will have to draw close to the Master. When they come, then we can sit down and talk about issues. They will then see that they have been looking at things wrongly and are getting it all wrong.

He asked me a question that broke my heart. He said, My daughter, do you think I hate you? I said no Lord. He said, 'I see you. I hear your thoughts', It breaks my heart when you cry. I wish I can take you to the future, so that you can see what my plans are for you, but I Won't, not becos I can't, but becos, I need you to trust me, Rest in me.

This morning He gave me three words. He said I need to learn DISCIPLINE, COORDINATION, AND ORGANISATION.
He said, there's work to do, there's no need to rush. If you ever have a need to rush, know you are walking ahead of me. Align your steps by Me, He said. Don't work outs side of the plan.
If you want to work for yourself, then walk off, but if you want to work for me, then walk by me, not looking at the clock that tells you how old you are.
As at when I needed Isaac, was when he came. As at when I needed Samuel, was when he came, as at when I needed John the Baptist is when he came.

Remember you are the clay. The clay doesn't tell the Potter when, and how to be formed, or what the Potter shd do with it.
He says, look away from the clock. Look up to me. I have the answers.
Praise the Lord.

I started from page one and read to 50+ (last year) . Always felt like posting but I don't know why I did not, but I just couldn't hold back from acknowledging this message. It's profound and piercing, very reassuring. So compressed but didn't compromise any truth.
Analice...Charly.....,. May you guys increase in the wisdom of God
God bless the girl that reposted this MSG cos I didn't know I skipped it. I discovered it today through the girl's post. Her Monica starts with H, I tot she was the original poster until she confessed she wasn't.
I don't take my dreams seriously, I do not desire to. God usually speaks directly to me through Sermons, usually tape sermons. He didn't put the fascination of dreams in me.
Thumbs up to everyone in the house. I've been a part of this thread for long except that I've been a stealth member

introduction; Reading this passage of the Bible, we are made to understand that Lazarus and his sisters were the Master's personal friends. They knew Him closely. He visited them often. He ate in their house. They looked forward to him coming every time he was in the region.

Like every human, Lazarus fell very ill, sick unto death. They knew He could heal him without issues. They had seen Him heal others, so they sent for Him, He didn't come. probably didn't even send a word back to comfort them. They knew that Jesus knew how serious the matter was, he didn't need to be told. They still went on to inform him about it. He still didn't showup.

Lazarus Waited for his friend until he died. His friend didn't come. 4days after he had started decaying, he came. To do what now? To mock? to watch us mourn? One may ask.

Martha may have asked. Master, what is the point of you coming now? IF YOU HAD COME WHEN WE SENT FOR YOU, MY BROTHER WOULD NOT HAVE DIED. Now he is dead. its too late. What is the point of having you as a friend, if you can't be here in a time like this?

You could be asking the same questions right now like Martha

From January to December, I have prayed, fasted. trusted you, obeyed you. won souls, evangelised, I gave to the poor. I never missed any church service. I followed every instruction through. Yet, am still here. Do you really care?

Why this delay? Its just three days and the year will end. Shld I ve gone to do it as my friends does it? Why am I still single? shd I go ahead and marry an unbeliever like my friends? shd I ve visited that prophet or prophetess? I prayed for that contract. I did everything right, yet they gave it to the other person.

I prayed for the fruit of the womb, my period still came. This pain is still here. My visa is still delayed. I thought that by this year I could complete that project. NOW THE YEAR HAS Ended. What's the point of trusting you. Or is it true like the atheist say, that you don't exist? So on and so forth.

Ves22
BUT Martha said, "but I know that EVEN NOW, WHATSOEVER thou asketh of your father, He shall give it thee.

When I read this, was when my questions started.
I said, okay, now what? Lazarus has been dead 4days. Now decay has set in. What's the point?

23. Jesus says, I AM THE RESURRECTION and THE LIFE. He that believe in me, though was dead shall live and those that live shall not die. AH.

Here is where I got stocked.
Holy Spirit, what does that even mean? How is Christ the Resurrection? (knowing this time, he had not died nor resurrected yet) I closed my Bible, closed my eyes, closed my physical ears, switched on my spirit man.

I heard him say, Open your eyes. Look at the sun. He said, defined the sun, I did. He said, give the characteristics of the sun. I did.

The sun gives life, light and heat to earth. The sun is the light. It's not part of the light. Without the Sun, life on earth dies. Every brightness is likened to the sun, not the other way round.
(Life may not die immediately in the absence of the sun. But it's dead, it's just a matter of time)

He said, so it is with Christ. Christ is Life. He can give life to who ever or whatever, at anytime he dims it fit. The issue is not whether He can give Life. The issue is, Is He willing to give it, and when?

Martha said, EVEN NOW whatever you ask.

But they asked Lord! Why didn't you give? Why didn't you ask your father for healing for your friend Lazarus, why let him die first?
Which would ve been easier, to heal him or to raise him up?

He said to me, The case of Lazarus is the same with the case of the man born blind. It has nothing to do with his parents or him, just like it has nothing to do with Lazarus being sick, dying and getting resurrected.
He said to me, there are two issues here.
1 Lazarus' Family/Blind man.
2. The general public(Jews) or in our case gentles
He said, "For me, it is not about healing the sick or raising the dead, it's about pointing man to God".

Whatever is normal doesn't fascinate man, so man remains with the Idea that's it's all about himself.
He dies in his sins, without knowing it.

But my heart breaks to see man go the way he is going. So, I have to raise questions in their hearts by doing this things. If I had come when Martha sent for me. The Jews wouldn't know what happened. If Batimeus didn't grow up blind, many Jews would not ve sought to know how possible that could be. If I had gone when Martha sent for me, they wouldn't learn patience and discipline in ministry.

If I had gone when they wanted me, the name of Lazarus, would be just be a name. But today, anywhere the name Lazarus is mentioned, people know him. MY DELAY MADE HIM FAMOUS.

He said, there's a time for waiting. Not fasting or prayer. But RESTING IN ME. ALLOW ME. WAIT.
He said, His Children are too much in a hurry, that's because they measure achievements by what their friends have. He said, too many of His Children are too anxious, fearful of failure, terribly bothered about too many things.

Worrying about things not turning out the way they planned them or the speed they expected. so in a state of anxiety and fear, they pray and fast. And in that state, I will not answer them, becos I do not want you to come to me in fear. Come to me in love.

He said, I want you to tell me your challenges, not because I don't know them, but I want you to depend on me, in love. Tell me what you want, BUT don't tell me how you want me to do it, and When you want it. I don't walk/work with your time. I will do it, in my time.

He said, He created everyman to handle just one assignment on earth. But man is not even interested to find out what his assignment is, that's why he is so worried trying to do 100things that doesn't concern him.

He said, The spiritual is not fascinated by signs and wonders. And I don't perform signs and wonders to show off. It's not to flex ego. There are only necessary to raise questions in the hearts of men, and for those questions to gets answers men will have to draw close to the Master. When they come, then we can sit down and talk about issues. They will then see that they have been looking at things wrongly and are getting it all wrong.

He asked me a question that broke my heart. He said, My daughter, do you think I hate you? I said no Lord. He said, 'I see you. I hear your thoughts', It breaks my heart when you cry. I wish I can take you to the future, so that you can see what my plans are for you, but I Won't, not becos I can't, but becos, I need you to trust me, Rest in me.

This morning He gave me three words. He said I need to learn DISCIPLINE, COORDINATION, AND ORGANISATION.
He said, there's work to do, there's no need to rush. If you ever have a need to rush, know you are walking ahead of me. Align your steps by Me, He said. Don't work outs side of the plan.
If you want to work for yourself, then walk off, but if you want to work for me, then walk by me, not looking at the clock that tells you how old you are.
As at when I needed Isaac, was when he came. As at when I needed Samuel, was when he came, as at when I needed John the Baptist is when he came.

Remember you are the clay. The clay doesn't tell the Potter when, and how to be formed, or what the Potter shd do with it.
He says, look away from the clock. Look up to me. I have the answers.
Praise the Lord.

After dinner last night, i decided to rest a little in my room before prayers. I fell asleep, noise of my brother trying to switch off the lights woke me( they wanted to stop the Gen). But i didn't wake up to a full state. I knew i was awake but i couldntt move, i couldn't talk, just then i saw a figure wearing all back walked into the room, it must have been a lady. Couldn't see the face. It walked to were the switch was, and switched off the lights but it was slowly cos the lights went from full to low then it went off at this point i started shouting Jesus, thinking my guardians would here in the parlour and come to my rescue. I realized they didn't hear cos i wasn't hearing myself. Switched to praying in tongues all of a sudden as if i had been struggling to break loose. I bounced back to life. I felt 'fear' in me this made me feel bad. i can't remember this happening to me ever before in my life, and i don't think i see demons. . . . Brethen what does this mean?

oyeludef:
goodmorning brethren. Dis morning i have spiritual prescription for every born again child of God who is still struggling with demonic oppression and torment. D truth is dat demons understand their boundary and dey will do their best to keep u ignorant of it cos they know as long as d heir is still a child, he is not different from a servant. D spiritual realm is far above d kingdom of darkness. As a matter of fact if you do not put d realm of darkness in its rightful position, you can't make spiritual progress.
How scared of demons are you?
. For believers still afraid of demons, it is because you don't know who ur father is. You think demons are scary? please take a quick glance at the book of ezekiel chapter 1 and see how d Bible described Cherubims. In dat vision, ezekiel saw 4 Cherubims before d throne of God. Do you realize dat d devil is just one out of many Cherubims in glory? There are several Spirits far greater than the devil in Glory. D Bible tells us that the sit of the devil was at eden. The greater the level of Spirits, the more closer they are to the throne of God. Before the throne, there are the seven Spirits of God and then d 24 Elders, Seraphims, Cherubims (of higher class than satan) etc. Do you see how dis rubbished the devil.
Hierarchy of God's Creation
Dis are the hierarchy of things created
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Colossians 1:16 KJV
God still has all thrones and dominion on His side. D devil was able to get just 1/3 of principalities under his control.
My spiritual prescription for all who wanna leave d level of wrestling demons and move on to Sonship is to finish d whole chapter 1 of colossians. As a matter of fact just try and meditate on d whole of ephesians chapter 1-3 until it becomes a part of your spirit man wait for d demon to come, don't pray just stare at it, it will know you are past its hold and never come back.
The church needs to take our Right standing in God
Christians do you know dat the angels are supposed to learn about the wisdom of God from us. Dis is wat scripture says.
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Ephesians 3:9-11 KJV
well, remember I said dis post was for believers so if you are one of those people who do not believe everything in the bible or u r involved in anything d Bible calls abomination i.e witchcraft, sorcery, necromancy, divination, contact with familiar spirits and involve in star gazing, palm reading, astrology etc, you need to b scared of demons cos dey will eventually kill u if u don't repent

Nice. I love that ''from wrestling demons to sonship.
But explain this Bro.
Thrones and Dominion are they angel or some other things.
Help out

@mizyB , wat u experienced is called demonic oppression. U can overcome it totally by occupying ur seat in Christ Jesus. You may howeva need to answer some questions. Was immediate family ever been involved in idol worship? It could b due to something uv done b4 propably out of curiosity

demonic oppression.... Hmmmmmm... If i may ask what gives way for demons to oppress a man?? I don't know any of my family members who openly worship idols. No am not an idol worshipper never been one.

PRAISE THE LORD.
Brethren, I just returned from the first phase of deliverance of the Babalawo I me mentioned before. I took a pastor to him, (a no smiling pastor) the man of God opened scriptures that I also learned a lot from. The Babalawo was full of questions. Thank God the man of God knows his Bible. All questions were answered. By the time, we were done with the prayer session, in our presence, he removed his ring, which he wore on his thumb and broke it. I didn't know how he was able to do that. He twisted it until it broke.
All the time, I was expecting the demons inside of him to start manifesting, but he was just answering Amen to the prayers. Until the end. I also expected him to gather his work things for us to burn.
So why didn't the demons manifest?

But later my pastor said, it's a process, Let's bring him in first.
The word will grow in him, on his own, he call us. when he knows he won't have need for those things again, he will be the one to call us.
Now, I can stand in the sidelines and follow up.
He will attend church service for the first time on Sunday. The pastor will be there to take him. I will buy him a Bible, and Christian Books.

Thank you Brethren for the courage you build in me to stand and do this. I never believe I could do it.
Thank you.
