Christianity Etc › Re: Seeing Demons, Angels, Fallen Angels, Spirits.. - Hsp's by etidy:
Good evening my brethren in the LORD, I hope you all are having a fruitful week. Well God’s counsel always stand and he always do his pleasure (Isa 46: 10) so no devil or tiny demons can shut down his work on this platform, forget about those jokers. But what I am here to address tonight is more important. It’s the question [b]about the baptism of the Holy Spirit someone asked some days ago. The responses from the men and women of God on this group were really enlightening. I felt a strong urge to talk about it that day. But I deferred because I wanted to be sure that the words I will be speaking will be his perfect will, but I got a green light today. Apologies for the length.
BEFORE I PROCEED I WANT EVERY CAUSAL VISITOR OF THIS GROUP, WHO DESIRES THIS BAPTISM TO GET THEIR FAITH SET NOW, BECAUSE MANY OF YOU WILL BE BAPTIZED BEFORE YOU FINISH READING THIS IN JESUS NAME. WHY? AS YOU KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE (JOHN 8:32)

What is this truth? The baptism of the Holy Spirit is very easy to get! Shocking right? But that’s the truth, delete any ideology you may have had. Fasting, tarrying is o.k but that’s not our access code to get baptized. What then is the way?
1. God the father has made Jesus the only baptizer: Yes the baptism can come via laying of hands and through human mediums. But they are just mediums not the baptizer, hence you don’t actually need any man of God. You can get baptized anywhere, anytime. The reason why most people don’t get baptized is they are looking to or for a very anointed man usually a pastor to help them out. We ought to always look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Heb 12:2). The bible speaking of Jesus in Matthew 3:11-12 that he’s the one that baptizes with the Holy Ghost and fire. So look unto him!

2. Jesus is always eager to baptize everyone interested: why?
a) Because according to prophecy the baptism is for EVERYONE (Joel 2:28-29) and God can’t lie or deny his word. Lai lai. He said I will pour my spirit on ALL flesh. So realize it’s not the exclusive right of some gifted few. It’s not for pastors or reverends or bishops. It’s for every born again child of God. So he’s eager.
b) Jesus was so eager to go to heaven to send him to you according to his word in John 16:7-8. He said it is expedient for him to go to the father to send you this big boss lol, called the Holy Spirit.
c) If our earthly father being evil knows how to give gifts, how much more shall our Heavenly Father give the Holy spirit to them that ask him (Luke 11:13). So God is eager, you don’t have to beg for it. Just ask!

3. All you need is faith like a child: THE HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE TO MY HEART WHILE PLANNING TO WRITE THIS. HE SAID WHAT YOU NEED IS FAITH LIKE A CHILD (MARK 10:15), ONLY THOSE WHO RECEIVE THE KINGDOM MYSTERIES AS A CHILD CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THEM. JUST BELIEVE. DON’T RATIONALIZE. ALL THROUGH SCRIPTURES THE WORD USED IS “RECEIVE” (Acts 2:38, 8:17, 19:2) YOU ARE TOO SMALL TO WORK TO GET HIM. He’s a gift from God (Luke 11:13), it’s the giver that works, all you need to do is have faith to receive. Because only your faith can please the giver of the gift and move him to give you (Heb 11:6). The same faith that got you born again is enough.

4. Salvation is the password: The baptism is so cheap you don’t need to perfect before he fills you, shocking right? The biblical requirement for the baptism is salvation. Acts 2:38 says repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST. That’s a statement of assurance, get saved and you will receive him. You don’t have to work any work. Just get saved, believe and you receive him. I got saved and filled same day..lol. At the house of Cornelius, peter was just preaching and the Holy Spirit fell on all that heard him. They got born again and baptized in one siting (Acts 10:44). No laying of hands. Now for those that desire this infilling, I decree in the name of Jesus the Christ you are being filled right now.
IT’S NOT SCRIPTURAL THAT YOU MUST BE SANCTIFIED AND PERFECT BEFORE RECEIVING HIM. YOU CAN’T BE SANCTIFED WITHOUT HIM, HE’S ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL FORCES THAT SANCTIFY US. SO YOU DON’T WAIT TILL YOU ARE SANCTIFIED TO GET HIM. INSTEAD GET HIM, SO HE CAN SANCTIFY YOU. PLEASE READ 1C0R 6:11, ROMANS 8:15 AND ROMANS 15:16. HE SANCTIFIES YOU AMONGST MANY OTHER WAYS BY LEADING YOU IN THE PATHWAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (PSALMS 23:2, ROMANS 8:14) AND BECAUSE THE PATH OF THE JUST IS AS A SHINING LIGHT THAT SHINES MORE AND MORE UNTO THE PERFECT DAY (PROV 4:18), HE’S THEREFORE THE ONE WHO GRADUALLY PERFECTS US.
5. Ask DESPERATELY with assurance that God will baptize you then just yield yourself by opening your mouth to speak out anything that comes out of your mouth, don’t wait for one vibration or electric sensation, why?
If you ask God is too faithful to give (Luke 11:13)
When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. (Isaiah 41:17-18).
This is prophet Isaiah prophesying about John 7: 37-39 where Jesus said
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
So it’s a thirst of the spirit not flesh for those poor (desirous, craving) in spirit. I believe these words have fired the necessary zeal into your hearts. Sorry for the length of the write up. Congrats if you just got the infilling experience while reading this piece.

Anaso09. I believe we mean the same thing, however from two slightly different perspectives, just slightly though. From my little understanding man is SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY(1 Thes 5:23)
All three part of man has a voice, the voice of the spirit is the internal witness OR small still voice , while the voice of the mind is REASONING, the voice of the flesh is FEELING. The flesh (body) is always at odds with leadings of the Holy Spirit through the spirit and where they war is fought is in the MIND.
GAL 5:16-17 KJV
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
And that's why a man can Only be Spirituallly MINDED OR Carnally MINDED (flesh controlled mind) (Romans 8:6)
THE MIND IS A BATTLEFIELD BETWEEN TWO CONTRASTING FORCES. IT RECIEVES INFO FROM TWO DIFFERENT ENDS AND THE MOST SUPERIOR WINS. THAT'S WHY WE BUILD OUR SPIRIT MAN (FROM THE LEVEL OF BABE TO SONSHIP) WHILE WE RENEW OUR MINDS (CLEANSE IT DAILY FROM ALL THE LUSTFUL SIGNALS FROM THE FLESH) AND THEN PUT THE FLESH UNDER SUBMITTING TO GOD AS A LIVING SACRIFICE. (ROMANS 12:1-2 )
When you wanna pray after a busy day, most often it's not mental fatigue you feel, it's physical fatigue, your body is aching but u know you must pray. That's an example of the battle we are talking about. Your mind doesn't feel hunger, but your body does and it's bombarding your mind with complaints. Your thoughts and Imaginations don't occur spontaneously, they are a product of what enters it. You CAN'T think of sex when you have NOT seen or heard of touched something that sowed a seed of that thought. That's why apostle Paul said in Romans 6:12 let not sin therefore reign in your MORTAL BODY, that ye should obey in the LUSTS thereof. You can see the lust originates from what the body feeds in. It is the INPUT DEVICE.
I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE GREATEST BATTLE OF A CHRISTAIN IS NOT AGAINST THE POWERS OF DARKNESS, BUT THE BATTLE WITHIN : THE BATTLE FOR DOMINANCE OF THE MIND BETWEEN THE FLESH AND SPIRIT.

Wow I've missed a lot sha. There is always something to learn here. Concerning the question abt the flesh and spirit, All of you have spoken well. There is one dimension to it, I got more light on recently that I wanna add.
Colossians 2:20- 23 Particularly verse 23. Mplified
20 If then you have died with Christ to material ways of looking at things and have escaped from the world’s crude and elemental notions and teachings of externalism, why do you live as if you still belong to the world? [Why do you submit to rules and regulations? —such as]

21 Do not handle [this] , Do not taste [that] , Do not even touch [them] ,

22 Referring to things all of which perish with being used. To do this is to follow human precepts and doctrines.

23 Such [practices] have indeed the outward appearance [that popularly passes] for wisdom, in promoting self-imposed rigor of devotion and delight in self-humiliation and severity of discipline of the body, but they are of no value in checking the indulgence of the flesh (the lower nature) . [Instead, they do not honor God but serve only to indulge the flesh]

In our quest to subdue the Flesh we must be cautious to be led by d Holy Spirit oR else it will be in vain. We must understand that the flesh is also vital for the pursuit of our heavenly mandate. Speaking of Jesus the Bible says a body have I prepared him (Heb 10:5, Jesus required his body, so we need ours too) . We are to present our body as a "LIVING" sacrifice not DEAD, we are to ensure it doesnt dominate us but not to kill it. in a religious attempt to subdue the flesh some people do extreme things. For example I have heard from at least two revered men in the faith Who went to extremes IN fastings and excessive work despising rest in both cases they fell ill and nearly died until they repented. God also cares about our body, take care of it. Eat well, dress well (albeit not provocatively), exercise too cheesy. For bodily exercise profited little(2tim 4:cool, it didn't say it didn't profit at all.. Sometimes in our excessive bid to discipline the flesh, we actually can fall into the flesh. Let's be led always, checking our conscience to see if it agrees with what we do. If the Holy Spirit through the inner man says it's time to eat "Sharwama" Or watch a GOOD movie, Do it. grin The life changing lesson you need may just be there. Don't say No, I must be spiritual ooh, so I must Pray 5hrs instead. grin or When it says buy a Good cologne to Smell good and u said NO. I must be sprikoko, Expensive perf Ke! God Forbid you lose your God ordained helper that day because, you smell funny to him or her grin . BE LED. SPIRITUALITY IS NOT RELIGIOUSITY. I KNOW OF A FRIEND WHO GOT HIS GOD ORDAINED VISION ON A SUNDAY MORNING WHILE GOING TO CHURCH, THE HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE TO HIM NOT TO. IT SOUNDED ODD BUT THAT SAME MORNING, THE HOLY SPIRIT VISITED HIM AT HOME AND GAVE HIM HIS MINISTRY. I PRAY WE WILL NEVER MISS THE GENUINE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN JESUS NAME.

Christianity Etc › Re: Seeing Demons, Angels, Fallen Angels, Spirits.. - Hsp's by etidy: 6:15pm On Jul 24, 2016
Recently as I was studying, the Holy Spirit gave me some confirmation on some of the things Bro CharlyG1 was saying concerning escalating activities of the forces of darkness in the end times particularly Full physical manifestation of many of these fallen angels. I was surprised that those things were actually mentioned in the Bible.. Look at these scriptures for example :

Luke 21:25-26 KJV
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Revelation 6:13

And the STARS OF HEAVEN fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Matthew 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the SUN be darkened, and the MOON shall not give her light, and the STARS shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

The Bible often mentions that signs in the heavenlies with regards to the end time and eventual fall of stars on the earth and men's hearts failing then for the fear of these things. But what are this stars of the heavenlies?

Rev 12:3-4 kjv
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

4 And his tail drew the third part of the STARS OF HEAVEN , and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

It turns out these stars mentioned here are not actual Stars, sun and moons but representative of The fallen angels of heaven( the one 3rd that fell with Satan) including the sun god, moon god and the likes . i was surprised that I have always missed something so obvious in the Bible and often discussed on these thread. all these are actually spiritual entities of the spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies and they will made manifest physically on the earth before the 2nd coming or Christ. Mehn rapture is must ooh. Nobody wants to be around when those dudes are in full control of the earth. grin grin

I'll be sharing by tomorrow the basics to interpreting dreams.


Dream interpretation is a spiritual gift. Though the basics of interpretation can be learnt. I'll be sharing this by tomorrow so that people can have an insight to the way God speaks through dreams. One person's dream symbols may not mean the same for another in interpretation.
No one should go to websites seeking dream interpretations. Isn't God who gives interpretation of dreams? Genesis 40:8


This tomorrow teaching is to help people have an idea of what their dreams say. Dreams carry important messages for our lives. Though you may not be able to interpret dreams the way a person with the gift will interpret it. But you will have a good idea of how the Spirit of God speaks through these dreams. This message is to elighten us. Wisdom is a free gift and only the Spirit gives wisdom.


Anyone who wants an interpretation to their dreams can send me an email. But please not that I may not be able to reply you that same day due to huge numbers of mails and schedule. But between 1-2days, I will reply.


Thank you Process01. Let's keep sharing our testimonies and experiences. God bless us all.
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
Christianity Etc › Re: Seeing Demons, Angels, Fallen Angels, Spirits.. - Hsp's by etidy: 7:20am On Jul 12, 2016
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 grin 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.
Christianity Etc › Re: Seeing Demons, Angels, Fallen Angels, Spirits.. - Hsp's by etidy:
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

I study and meditate on God's word concerning fruitfulness,i believe it but why do I still get anxious?I want to overcome this anxiety and unbelief
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.

Hello people of God,pls I need advice on how to overcome unbelief.
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:
goodday sir, please. I am a 20 year old man currently in the university, it all started innocently when i started masturbating at age 12, till today i still masturbate, i have given my life to Christ several times, but i always backslid. this has so much affected me that i no longer perform very well in my academics like i used to do, also my spiritual life most importantly has fallen to the lowest ebb, please how do i get out of this predicament. I NEED HELP.
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 cool cool . Sorry my post was too long. Be blessed

ACTIVATING YOUR BREAKTHROUGH
My Last Week Experience

Last week, Someone called me and told me something about the house am living presently, being there for few weeks now, base on their past experience, she think the information would help me, but that end up being a grave of bitterness, worries, anxiety, almost depression.

I quit agree within me that: it’s the work of the devil to break me, I can’t just overcome. I've pray but I see no difference, evil suggestion start coming in base on what I was told. I tried to let go but I can’t. last weekend was not cool.

Last Friday, I attended a night vigil, and was prayed for by one of the minister, I was expecting a relief on Saturday, but I slept and wake in same conditions. Throughout, the Sunday service I was in depression. And I begin to wonder why, even with all my prayer point and focus at the vigil.

My resolution was to do it all alone, after the church service, while everyone was gone, I stay back, you should guess right what am doing. After that prayer, I feel relief and unburden.

My conclusion about the experience was that: for the fact that we have being prayed for, a man of God lays hand on us, we fall under anointing, that may not be all, we MAY still need to prayerfully Activate the Breakthrough. Have you ever wonder why some people are being delivered for certain problem almost now and them?

Abraham, David received an everlasting blessing from God, but still make request that God should do as He had promised.
Our Lord Jesus Christ understand this Logic, Him knowing that God will be glorified in his sacrifice and Him Jesus would be lifted up in Glorification still request "glorify thy Son"

Daniel Case should set before us an example of spiritual warfare, he got answer the first day he prayed but, the manifestion was sized for 21 days, I guess his continuous prayer brought about Heavenly intervention. [Daniel 10:11-13]

[II Sam 7:25] “And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.”
[John 17:1] "These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:"

WHAT AM I SAYING: The place of continous targeted prayer cannot be overemphasise or relegated, we must prayer w/o ceasing I mean #PrayUntilSomethingHappen - PUSH for our heart desire according to God's will.

WHAT AM NOT SAYING: It is good to pray believing That God is doing it and turning things around. Am not saying that after prayer we should be trouble wether God has done it or not (by continously praying thinking God is yet to do it).

After prayer, laying on of hand, if we dont see result at the expected time, we should know there are issues to deal with, and a Spirit Lead Christian will be sensitive to event like this and deal with it prayerfully because our prayer according to God's will is not thrift that has appointed collection time. There are many things we are ignorant of, but prayer through the power of christ conquers all.

In life I have come to realized that; What matter most in a Christian life is Personal Devotion to Prayer, we must develop it, I remember reading it on this thread; someone said he/she owed God 2hrs + as tight of time for prayer, I still jealouse such devotion. When we develop this aspect of our life constant victory is sure.

"But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost- Jude1:20"

I may not be articulated in my write-up, what am trying to pass to you is ACTIVATE THE BREAKTHROUGH you've got through prayer, Dont sit back and started asking the question why this, why that, just Activate The Breakthrough

Its being a while I wanted to post this

God Bless us all
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
