CharlyG1:Nice one Oga Charles and processor01. Any good thing can be abused. The thing I have realised is that anytime I have a dream that's relevant from God I always know the meaning, I may not just like the interpretation God gives me and I ask from others because in the mouth of two or more witnesses is a thing confirmed. Asking from other people must never take the place of personal revelation especially if you are child of God. God will never use another person to say what he's not put into spirit to you. We ARE ALL EXPECTED TO BE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD (romans 8:16). The thing is people want short cut all the time and want to be fed everything. Another thing is all these dreams usually have very circumstantial interpretation per person and the person that you are depending to give you a full interpretation over the internet may not have access to all the information he needs to give a full and correct interpretation one. God bless you all. Have a nice Sunday.. |
Hello men and women of God. I hope you are having a great day, Does anyone have an idea of a great place to have a personal retreat without distractions at a reasonable cost? ... Thx |
Wow powerful insight by CharlyG1 again. I have always maintained that stance too But now I understand even better , Men can't just command angels anyhow. We need to pray to the father in the name of Jesus for angelic interventions. But I never understood it this deeply. People often forget that ALL PRAYERS MUST BE DIRECTED TO OUR FATHER THROUGH THE NAME OF JESUS as Jesus teached his disciples. If it's then according to his will, (1john 4:4) he hears us and then send a reply which MAY be in form of sending an angel . One mistake which I think most people including I in the past have made Is thinking we can strong arm God into anything. Like this example of angels : You can't be commanding angel micheal to show up when God's will is for him is to be somewhere else. And as u rightly said, its wrong to call out for specific angels. More grace my brother |
About fallen angels. I think I may have encountered one. This happened some months after I overcame pornography and masturbation. I was very young in the faith (I'm still very young In it) I had a funny Dream. I was in an house which looked like an hotel. So I went to have my bath. On Returning Into my room I saw that a lady had sneaked into my room and was on my bed under the duvet. As I looked closely,i saw that this lady was EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL, but I was still scared. So I questioned her asking who she was and what she was doing in my room. Her reply shocked me. SHE SAID HER NAME WAS "SCEPTER" AND SHE WAS AN ANGEL SENT BY GOD TO ME. But something didn't seem right. As I approached her, next thing I saw was that she Naked and she held me. But a scripture came to me from nowhere "If any man be in Christ he's a new creature, old things are passed away, behold all things are become new" and I told her, you can't be an angel of God and I rebuke her. Then I woke up. Thank God for victory. |
I think there are some of what charlyG1 said that I can relate to. Recently the Holy Spirit started talking to me about stopping some Movies and seasonals that I loved to watch. I realize that anytime I watched them it's as if they poured cold water on my spiritual fire. Chief among them is Game of Thrones, Wayward pines, Empire. Game of thrones IN particular has demonic themes, sexual perversion and immorality has their core message. People are just too blinded to notice . What finally convince me was during a period of spiritual exercise recently the devil was just trying to bombard me with all sorts of immoral thoughts through dreams. I knew they weren't mine because I don't think such thoughts. In one of those dreams, It was like I was watching an action Movie, The fight was so captivating, then inbetween It switched into a hardcore sex scene. At that point my spirit man came alive and declared that this is the work of the devil and then rebuked it, after which I woke up. In another dream I saw myself being tempted with Lust for money. The devil projected to the future during What seems to be my 30th birthday. And I saw the kind of money I have never thought existed in history. It was like a birthday bash with millions More like billions of dollars everywhere. And so called friends and sparsely dressed ladies, dancing with me and getting drunk . Then something happened we couldn't continue to stay there, so we left the place to bother venue which was supposedly my house to continue the party. We entered this big compound inside it was a house painted white. The kind of beauty I have never seen, Then 10 helicopters landed in the house and everything was supposedly mine. So some friends and ladies (Actually demons)with bottles of champagne with them started pulling me towards the house. As we were going in, something from the inside spoke to me to look very well that this is the work of the devil and I should rebuke it. So I tried to resist, but it was very difficult and they keep pulling and teasing me into the house. Until finally I garnered strength and rebuke the devil and the lust for money. Then I woke up. I knew the dream had a spiritual implication but as I was typing here. I started to understand more. The devil is very trickish and we need to build Grace to help for the time we will need it (Heb 4:16) God bless you all |
chumz11:Maybe u need to study faith from word of faith teachers like kenneth hagin their books have a way of rubbing faith into You. One thing I think you may benefit from is praying the prayer of commitment(casting your worries on God) Read Matthew 6:25-34, Philippians 4:6, 1 Peter 5:7, Ps 37:5 .. Read them from amplified version. If you don't have that Bible version search for those scriptures with that version attached to it on d net or download it for free from play store. Those verses will tell you what to do. Meditate on them. Finally 1) all these things won't work unless you have geniuely turned to God and accepted the lordship of Jesus 2) You must walk in love with all people even your enemies because love is the total cure for fear and anxiety (1john 4:18) and faith only operates by the fuel of love (Gal 5:6). For God has not given you a spirit of fear(including anxiety and worry) but the SPIRIT OF POWER, LOVE AND A SOUND MIND IN Jesus name. |
chumz11:The antidote of Unbelief Is faith. Because it is the shield of faith that you quench all the fiery dart of the enemy(Eph 6:16) . If your Faith is non existent as a Christian you are in big danger. Faith is in levels, you have 1) No faith (mark 4:40) a situation where u have let your Faith to die 2)little faith (matthew 14:27-31) 3) great faith (Matt 15:28) .. Then the violent realm of faith usually found in apostles of faith and purely as a result of impartation by the Holy Spirit 4) Gift of special faith (1 Cor 12:7) 5) Spirit of faith (2 Cor 4:13) . There is no short cut to building your Faith. Your Spiritual Father can't dash you his own faith and there is a limit, his faith can help you. You MUST WORK IT OUT. BY YOURSELF. FAITH COMES BY CONTINUAL HEARING AND STUDYING THE WORD OF GOD TO THE POINT YOU GET REVELATION. BECAUSE ITS WHAT YOU SEE YOU BELIEVE (Romans 10:17). It's Personal HARDWORK. It's what you know that sets You. Faith is sweet. For example Since my faith came alalivei have not had any cause to swallow a pill. Total sound health like a rock. Every Christain lives by Faith (romans1:17)so without it we are dead. Another key is to pray in tongues a lot. It builds you up (Jude 1:20). Also cultivate the habit of listening and meditating on testimonies yours and others. It was David's secret (Ps 199:19, 1Sam 17:34-37) , read books, lots of them and finally If your church doesn't teach faith Well. you may need to start attending a word of faith church where faith is being taught regularly. God bless you |
obagreat:Oga Charles and process01 has said almost all that is to be said. I will just add a few points 1) You must realize that this is a winnable battle. Many have fought it and won. I was under that oppression too but I overcame it. That I don't even think about it or feel like doing it. That overcomers mentality is important if you must win. 1 Cor 10:13, 1john 5:4 2) This battle is two fold, there is an element of the flesh that you must put under subjection and there is the element of demon spirits which take advantage of your flesh and mind to oppress you. MAKE NO MISTAKE, MASTURBATION IS A DEMONIC OPPRESSION. 3) Pay very specific attention to all processor and Charles have said and DO them. 3) Engage the weapons of the Kingdom 2 Cor 10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. What are these weapons that pull down strongholds? a) The blood of Jesus Christ (I call it the jackpot) . The devil has absolutely no answer for the blood. It's God trump's card. Rev 12:11. Generously engage the blood of Jesus always. In purging your thoughts, conscience, environment and others. EAT THE COMMUNION REGULARLY AND WITH NDERSTANDING. THERE IS IMMENSE POWER IN THE COMMUNION. The flesh and blood of Jesus enables us to live by(like) Christ (John 6:53-58), its a spiritual transfusion of divine virtue (eternal life) and this life Is the light of men and it shines in darkness and Darkness has never overcame it (John 1:4-5). Please understand that the communion doesn't have to be one special bread and wine. It was just ordinary bread and win at dinner that he blessed and declared his flesh and blood (Matt 26:26-28). So in that regard you can take it regularly in the quiet of house from just a little bread or even biscuit and any drink. Bless it, declare your expectations(what u want to be free from) as you take it and do it by faith. It works like fire. 2) The Holy Spirit : without enduement with the Holy Spirit, winning against the powers of darkness is a difficult task. Desire to be filled with the Holy Ghost. It's Free, it's easy only desire and ask earnestly from the father (Luke 11:13) . The Holy Spirit is not just abt speaking in tongues But an enrollment to the school of POWER (ACTS 1:8 ). LIVING A SPIRIT FILLED LIFE IS THE ONLY ANSWER TO TOTAL VICTORY. BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT EMPOWERS YOUR SPIRIT BEING (EPHESIANS 3:16) TO DOMINATE YOUR FLESH (Gal 5:16-17). SEEK THIS INFILLING LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. IT'S TOO VITAL IN THIS WICKED TIMES WE ARE IN. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ANOINTING (ACTS 10:38) AND THE ANOINTING CAN DESTROY EVERY YOKE OR BURDEN (ISA 10:27) . He makes you an overcomer (1john 4:4) . The good news is that the Holy Spirit is cheap to get unlike how people make it to look. But t requires us to genuine return to Christ because he's (not a pastor) the baptizer (Matt 3:11). The Holy Spirit is readily available to fill anyone who desires Him, all you need to do is RECIEVE HIM INTO YOUR HEART BY FAITH.( Acts 8:17, Acts 19:2, NOTE THE WORD USED IS "RECIEVE" So he is close by just stretch out to invite him in prayer). Just those two weapons out of many others are enough Again pay close attention to all Charles and processor01 said especially viz a viz creating an atmosphere that temptation can't easily set in and the avoiding trigger factors like porn, wrong friends. FINALLY ,RELAX! ..JUST RELAX, DONT GET WORRIED ABOUT ANYTHING (PHIL 4:6), DON'T FEAR ANYTHING. YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL AND ALL HIS DEMONS ARE VERY CHEAP PEOPLE TO DEFEAT. HE'S BEING DEFEATED AND BASHED, ALWAYS HAVE THAT CONSCIOUS EVEN WHEN IT SEEMS YOU ARE NOT WINNING. THE DEVIL MAY WIN A BATTLE, BUT JESUS HAS SECURED THE WAR FOR YOU THATS WHY A RIGHTEOUS MAN CAN FALL SEVERAL TIMES AND RISE AGAIN (PROVS 24:16). Don't panic, there is nothing special or spoky abt demons and all these spiritual things, the spiritual is actually every believers natural habitat (John 1:8 ). CHILL IN FAITH (HOLD YOUR PEACE) AND CONFEDIENTLY RIDE ON GOD TO VICTORY LIKE A BOSS . Sorry my post was too long. Be blessed |
GoodMuyis:I agree with you on this. What Christains don't understand is that there are different kinds of prayers (Ephesians 6:18), and all are govern by different laws. THE ART OF PRAYER BY KENNETH E HAGIN WAS AN EYE OPENER IN THIS REGARD. What most of us are used to is the Prayer of faith, but some other kinds of prayer requires us to press till we get that note of victory or assurance in the spirit. It's very important for us to Press till that point when we feel the burden has lifted. it May be life saving to you or someone close to you. Every situation demands different kind of prayers. Some require an intense push to get victory. However the most important thing is to be led by the spirit of God. That's why Paul said in Ephesians 6:18a amplified " Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty" . Another point to note is that prayer is required to possess or take delivery of every promise/prophesy of God in our lives. It's not enough to say God has told me or prophesy has gone forth and then chill. Because every prophesy/promise is an opened door by God which the devil can't shut but adversaries can still be on the route to enter into it (1 Cor 16:9). That's why God told the Israelites Deuteronomy 2:24 "“Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have GIVEN into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to POSSESS IT and CONTEND WITH HIM in battle.” There some things God has promised us already that we still have to battle in prayer to take delivery. It happened with Daniel, another example is in 1 Tim 1:18 "This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare" so your pastor may have prayed for you and u believe it God may have spoken about it to you, but you still need to war with the promises/prophecies of God, you still need to remind him to make Good his promises (Isa 43:26). That's where the devil decieve people and they relax and they miss it. The most important thing is what the spirit is saying to you in your inner man. If it tells you it's settled, just keep reminding God in thanksgiving (Romans 4:20), but if u sense otherwise, continue pressing on in prayer.. |

Then this night again at my own house, I read some testimonies from a book and was just over joyed in the spirit,so I ministered to Holy Spirit for an hr or two b4.going to bed. Then I started having Funny encounters again. A family friend and her daughter usually spend the weekday in our house But strangely only the daughter came home last night but I didn't ask her why? As I was going to bed around 2am I fell Into a trance " Where someone told me the woman had hypertension and was sick that's why she didn't come home , so I asked the daughter when last her mom checked her bp and she said it was a long time and I woke up from the trance and wrote this down" lo and behold This morning I asked the lady why her mom wasn't at home. She told me she fell sick and she had to leave for their own house and I asked about her bp and she gave me the same answer as she said in the trance. But that's not all I saw overnight, the Same bird noise and cloud of darkness came again tonight but this time around I heard my spirit man telling my angels to get it off me. And the darkness lifted, though I didn't see any angels, then I said "whosoever the son of man has set free, is free indeed " after which I realized it was all a trance again. I had two other encounters but the write up is too long already. I'M LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON? ANY ADVICE PLEASE. |
Good morning house, I hope everyone is having a great day. And bro Charles thanks for your response to my mail. May you continue to grow in wisdom and grace. I've been having a lot of interesting spiritual encounters recently. For about a week now, I've being spending more time in prayer particularly in tongues and in the study of the word .initially it seemed nothing was happening until the last two days. Due the nature of my job, I Work 2 weeks @ a branch office and 2 weeks at the HQ where I do 2-3 night duties usually on weekends too. I've been having this feeling of quitting that job for a while but I ignored it but what I noticed is that long timers @ that office usually suffer stagnation and my spiritual fire always seem to dim/die anytime I'm on duty @ d HQ which I attributed to d busy schedule. On Thursday I had an impromptu call to work @ d HQ that night Becos the person that was scheduled to be there travelled. As I got to the call room dt night I sensed something strange. I did a light prayer and planned to wake up 2 hrs later for my midnight prayers but as soon as I close my eyes to sleep, Three times I will hear BIRDS flying all around the room and crying but not with my physical hear, almost like from an ear within. But I was too lazy and just prayed a little more. Then I went back to bed then I had a dream where a band/cloud of darkness just overshadowed me in bed pressing Life out of me and I was hearing birds in the dark Cloud. I barely called out Jesus to set me free. At this juncture it lifted and I left the room for one of my offices to pray and read after abt 2-3 hrs I went back to room to sleep, again the same thing repeated itself. This time I summoned the angels of God and I was set free. And went to bed time around 6 am and the same thing happened but this time as I saw the cloud coming down I rebuked it and it left. All this time my confidence was unshaken. But that's just part 1 |
