How To Not Lose Your Anointing/ How To Maintain Your Anointing

The importance of the believer maintaining the Spirit-empoweredlife cannot be overemphasized.

Once a person has been baptized in the Holy Spirit, he or she would be very unwise to assume that there is nothing more for them do to maintain their spiritual lives. The Experience Must Be Maintained.

No matter how powerful one’s initial reception of the Holy Spirit may have been, if that believer does not maintain the experience through a life of dedicated prayer, witness, and holiness, the experience will soon fade.

The baptism in the Spirit brings the believer into a relationship with the Spirit that must be continually renewed. Each Believer’s Personal Responsibility Every believer in Christ must accept personal responsibility to maintain his or her own spiritual life.

Like king David, each believer must learn to encourage himself in the Lord (1 Sam. 30:6).
Failure to do this will result in backsliding and loss of power.

Eventually, one could even lose his salvation. Paul encouraged Timothy to “fan into flame the gift of God” that was in him (2 Tim. 1:6). Just as a campfire needs constant attention if it is to remain blazing, our spiritual lives also need constant monitoring.

When the camper goes to sleep, his fire goes out. When the Christian sleeps, his spiritual fire goes out. We must therefore maintain constant vigilance over our spiritual lives.

We should therefore:

Seek Fresh Refillings Every single day

If a Christian is to remain full of the Spirit, he or she must seek fresh infillings of the Spirit Everyday. every believer in Christ must realize that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit it is not a once-and-forever event. Every Spirit empowered believer should seek to be continually filled and refilled with the Spirit throughout their lives and every single day.

Pray Without Ceasing

A second thing that one can do to maintain his Spirit-empowered life is to “pray continually” or as the King James Version puts it, “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. 5:17).

Prayer is an essential discipline for the Christian if he is to walk in the Spirit. Paul told the Thessalonian believers to be constantly in prayer: “Pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the Spirit’s fire” (vv. 17-19).

Be Fervent in Worship

A third way a Christian can keep in step with the Spirit is through fervent worship. Worship holds an important place in the Spirit-empowered life. It is through Spirit-anointed worship that are we are “raised . . . up with Christ and seated . . . with him in the heavenly realms” (Eph. 2:6).

These worship times result in “times of refreshing . . . from the Lord” (Acts 3:19). In order to maintain our lives in the Spirit, we should seek out worship opportunities.

These opportunities could include times private devotion. Great spiritual strength can come from these private worship times (Isa. 40:31).

Meditate on the Word

Daily meditation on the Word of God is another essential element for maintaining a Spirit-empowered walk. Jesus said, “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are Spirit and they are life” (John 6:36).

What Jesus said about His own words, can also be said for all the words of Scripture—they are Spirit and they are life.

As we read the Bible, and meditate on its words, the Spirit of God speaks new life into our spirits. If we are to maintain our lives in the Spirit, we must, therefore, dedicate ourselves to daily devotional reading of the Word of God. The word of God is food for our spiritual man. It is through reading the word that our spirits receive new life and strength (Psa. 119:92-93



*** Points Summarized and gotten from a book Titled How to Maintain Your Anointing.

I will share the book in the group Chat by Monday .

Stay blessed.

The Lord put it in my Heart to Talk about His Holy Spirit.

While we go through our various spiritual Journeys let us put A key Focus in Developing our personal relationship with the HolySpirit. .. Because Truely without the HolySpirit everything we are doing will just end up being futile struggles .
It's not about praying for 100 hours or 10 it is simply about having the HolySpirit and letting him guide you and lead you.

It is the HolySpirit that reveals Jesus to You, That Makes Jesus Manifest in your Life.
He is there to guide you to Jesus.
We all know of the Trinity, that there are three persons in one God :
God the Father,
God the Son and
God the HolySpirit. All Equal God Heads.

If we study our Bible we will notice how each God Head has been present on this Earth, almost one after the other.
In the Old testament/In The beginning of the world, ..We see how present God the Father was on Earth,
..How he used to Speak to Adam. How he used to speak to Abraham..
How he Spoke to Moses in the Burning Bush, ..and even at one Time allowed Moses to see his back. How his presence used to dwell in the Temple built for him by Solomon, and how you can't just pray to God from anywhere you are.....

These were the times of God the Father on Earth.
Now slowly the arrival of God the son on Earth begins to be Propheciesed by the prophets of the Old testament,

Down till the New Testament where he finally arrives
God The Son. Jesus.
We begin to see very little about God the Father.
Jesus himself became man and dwelled amongst men, ..100% God and 100% man .
And during this time everything that happened about the Kingdom of heaven on this Earth Happened Through Jesus.

The Apostles went to him, ..The sick went to him, ..the blind went to him, the lame and everyone in need went to him.
He brought the dead to life, Cast out demons, gave power and authority to his followers. And eventually sacrificed his life for all of our Sakes.

Now, we notice that Jesus himself before his death continues to tell his Apostles that He will soon depart from the earth to heaven, To make way for the Third Person in the God Head, ..and that is who?

God The HolySpirit. The Comforter.

In fact, it says in John 16:7, ESV: "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you."

And eventually as we read till Acts we witness the Death of Jesus as Well as the Coming Of
God The HolySpirit upon the Apostles.

And this is Where our own Times Begin, The HolySpirit Now Dwells with Us on Earth. Infact, the Apostles literally traveled from City to city, from Country to country Making sure that believers receive the HolySpirit. Because He is now what we as believers on Earth are now to Function with.

It is The HolySpirit that is the Anointing upon A Child Of God.
It is the HolySpirit that is the Presence of God upon a Child of God.
It is The HolySpirit That Goes to manifest your Prayer Utterances in the Spirit Realm .
It is The HolySpirit that Guides you into Battles and helps you Fight those Battles victoriously.
Without the HolySpirit your prayer is Null and void. Because, you will simply be praying in the flesh. No manifestation in the Spirit Realm.

We are, Right Now, in The Reign of The HolySpirit of God on Earth.
Every journey towards God without the Help of the Holy Spirit of God is like the Journey of a blind Man.

So, isn't it unfortunate that the HolySpirit is the most Forgotten/ignored Person of the Trinity? Infact many Christians, including myself grew up knowing very little of the HolySpirit

We only thought that all we had to do as Christians, was to live a sin free Life and that was it .
I wish I knew back then that I did Not have to wait until I receive the Baptism of the HolySpirit before I start fellowshiping with the HolySpirit and making him my Closest companion. (While Still pressing-in and praying for His baptism of course)

I wish I knew, That the Spirit of God has been there All this while, only waiting for me to acknowledge his presence and invite him into my life .
Benny Hinn wrote in his book Titled 'Good morning HolySpirit'
That : "The Spirit of God is a 'Gentleman' ....He does not come into your life except you invite him in" .
He does not Force himself into a believers life, you have to conciously invite him Into your life,
Consciously surrender yourself to his leading daily. Consciously dedicate time to be with him every single day and to fellowship with Him everyday. Consciously Ask him to come Fill you up every single day .

I personally made a few avoidable mistakes when I received the Baptism of the HolySpirit, only because I had very little knowledge on what to do with what I had just received, but I thank God for how merciful and gentle His Spirit is, For he has since then guided me to correct myself and develope a better relationship and fellowship with him.

I believe Alot of us has also made thesame mistakes, as only a few Christians get it right from the get go.

That is why you will see A Christian saying things like : I remember when I used to be very Hot,
I remember when I used to Constantly speak in tongues and fall under the Anointing of the HolyGhost Everytime I pray.

I Remember, I Remember, ..you see them seriously wishing they could get back to that place where they once used to be .... .

This almost happened to me, infact I was already on that road, Just only after few weeks of Being Baptised in the HolyGhost, I was already going down that part..... But the HolySpirit himself immediately let me know where I was headed and I quickly retraced my steps ....

It is something we all know, but the devil of course makes us so ignorant of .....As I Share my own account, I'm sure one or two people can relate..or may even still be making thesame mistake

@Nutella
Hello

Yes I am actually quite aware that the Lord is Undoing me ... breaking me and also setting me apart. ...it's been happening gradually for a while now, but it has only just become clearer these past months.

I remember when we entered January..and I had appointments with upto 4 friends that I had invited for us to hang out and also to my home . Usually they will come running, but this time around.... Every single appointment failed, I didn't even know God han any hand in it, ..

Untill Easter when it started becoming clearer..I remember my best friend and I had agreed that she would visit me for Easter and that's how we would spend Easter.

On the Eve of Easter I picked up my phone to Whatsapp her about when she would be coming since I was ready to start shopping for our 'Fun items' ... Immediately I opened WhatsApp, I clearly heard the Spirit of God tell me : 'Dont bother' .... ..
I ignored and still went ahead to ask her what time she was coming.....when she finally replied, she said had already traveled to another state. ... ( I later found out she didn't travel sef, she was just not meant to come)

I just respected myself since then and mostly stay on my own.

I was never a movies person( i was too lazy to keep up ) but I was Very much into worldly songs, Very, I was a huge Rihanna fan, ...most times I would even use her for my dp .......I even started loving old Artists like Madonna lately.

Then the warnings started...I had to delete every single worldly songs ..but sometimes I would still find myself back on the internet trying to listen to some of my favorites .....And the Lord would warn me again . ...

On Easter Eve while sleeping, I was Warned about Dancing to several Madonna songs that would be played in very high Volume on blasting speakers . ..I woke up, I didn't take it Serious,

.... on that same Easter day my neighbor came to visit and she had this MP Speaker music player and she had so many Madonna songs on her play lists, ..and she started playing them, .....I was soooo drawn in and could not resist it one bit, ..I danced and moved and had fun. After that day my Spiritual strength went down hill. ...I even received attacks ..... I had to ask for forgiveness and stay clean.

When I would usually be singing one of my favorite gospel songs that I always sing happily that said : 'I want to be undone in you presence etc ......

I did not even know the meaning of what I was asking for, ....... I will even be shouting it .... lol

Now that it is happening, I just Sit down dey look. .... .

My body cream episode was what broke the camel's back for me ...that one finished me .... it's still paining me sef,

I have seriously been humbled and brought down from my Worldly 'high sit' ....and I am just quite and waiting for what comes next . ....

I know I have a calling, yes...but I don't know the extent of it...and have never really tried to find out ....
I am still in a little bit of denial, telling myself, my own will never be that serious....

It has only been 6days since I obeyed God and since then I have been shocked by the Revelations I have gotten about myself. ...

I have continuously been asking the Lord in confusion lately : "Does it mean that I have currently become all this things you are showing me or is it a future thing? ...... because right now I really don't even feel like I am any of those things, ... apart from one or two strange things that has happened to me in real life that actually made me stop and wonder ...

... I just take everyday as it comes ..I feel like I still have some worldly scores to settle .... before I will look into my calling ( that is if atall I have any) ..... ..

Stay blessed

Thanks for sharing.
It must be fun having these kinds of experiences. Abi, am I wrong?

There is nothing is this life more pleasant than The Presence of God. I will give everything in life to always be in his presence. I will tell you that.
So whatever will make you desire to have his presence, please go for it.

I know that other peoples stories on this thread also contributed in challenging me to seek God, but I did it in truth and sincerity.
So please have a clean and pure intention, have the intention of Wanting to know him and Love him for who he is and not for the sake of any experience. I have never asked God for experience I have only ever cried to him for His HolySpirit.

I received this warning for Yearsssss.
So For you now, what you might see is the 'experience' but what I wanted you to see was my Victory.

Truely, There is no modest way to talk about the
presence of God because his presence is not ordinary. The best I could even do is to leave out some part.
I shared this so that People can Know that what you might be taking as an ordinary or common sin, might be the biggest obstacle to your Spiritual growth.
There is no way I would share about Overcoming my biggest Struggle without sharing what Happened next.
Ever since then I have had encounters with the Lord, but will I come and start sharing or writing those here? NO, ........ I only shared this to let you know that You might be hindering or blocking the presence of God from your life by a habitual sin you are into, but you will think it's nothing, afterall everybody is doing it.

This just happened this weekend so the victory is still new to me. If I did not share it now, I won't even bother later. . . .
We learn from each other.

Remain blessed

At night I finally went to bed. .. and an Experience happened....

I slept till 1am, ..woke up, did my midnight prayers, ..I didn't even concentrate with my entire spirit, because half of me still dey vex, ...I finished, .... I did not linger in the Lords presence and wait on him to speak to me as I usually do after praying, ..I said, abeg, me I am going to bed, I no do again, I dey vex.
I Sat up slightly on my bed and was just having some random thoughts about my new ordeal, telling God, I'm not happy o, ..Im not, atall atall. Lool, my body felt weak so I decided to lie down well and prepare to sleep. So I layed down on my back, with my face and body facing the ceiling, .... cross one leg ontop the other, the way you cross leg when you are vexing and thinking. ( Looool) Sleep didn't come. ........But something else came, .

A strong presence. It was As if someone plugged my whole room to an electric socket and the whole Air in the room became Highly Charged, sooo Charged that it enveloped my entire body and my body started vibrating gently on my bed like someone receiving an electric shock.
In my mind, I said 'What is happening??....
My first instinct was to get up and read some Psalms rebuke any Demonic force and return to sleep,, ..so I tried to get up, ....I could not move, ...I literally could Not move any part of my body, ..not my hands, not my body, not even my legs that I Crossed.

Only my mind was functioning, ..... I was confused, I was scared, I remember saying In my mind : ... demons have come to attack me, what do I do, ...I tried to move again, Nothing. So it occurred to me to start praying in my mind, pleading the Blood of Jesus and rebuking any Satanic presence. .... so I started covering myself with the Blood of Jesus in my mind, ...I was rebuking any demonic presence, .. It still did not stop, it didn't go away, ..I still couldn't move, ...
Instead it intensified and I started jerking upwards, still vibrating like i was going through an electric shock, I was jerking upwards as if my spirit wanted to come out of my body.
Yet my mind was functioning well, and I was properly confused and scared. , ..

soon enough my body became tired of the position I was lying down, ...I needed to switch, turn to my sides and lie sideways, my legs that I crossed was already tired and paining me , ....And I thought to myself 'shebi if I had known this would happen I would have jejely layed down side ways, at least I can even stay like that untill morning. I am tired of this position, my mind kept trying all my best to turn my body sideways, but it didn't work, instead I continued jerking and vibrating steadily. ...I could sense that my spirit wanted to leave my body, like it was being summoned somewhere and in my mind..I was asking, to where?? I had zero control.

Soon I was no longer aware of my body or anything else, I just saw myself in a vast Open space..., up in the sky........And that was when I realized that the presence in my room was the Presence of God.**What transpired here I can't really share, since it has to do with my personal calling and I have not matured enough in this journey to expose myself like that** But it was good.

fastfoward to when I came back to my body and opened my eyes on my bed and I thought, ' Ahn Ahn, ...I am still in this position!?? Haa!!
... Then it occurred to me to try to move my body again, and I did, and it moved, ah, the relief I felt, I turned sideways immediately,. .and exhailed... I even positioned myself well, and put one hand under my pillow, .. because I actually felt sleepy and tired like someone that went to farm and came back and needed to sleep.
So I put onehand under my pillow as was most comfortable to me, and prepared to sleep off, ...and Next thing, inside my spirit I heard, ...Stretch out your left hand, .... And I said to myself, ' Stretch out my left hand ke? Hand that I have relaxed well inside pillow, that one is my own mind talking to me by itself, it is not the spirit of God' so I ignored and prepared to sleep off, and immediately the bone/joint in my left shoulder shook strongly three good times, (this particular one shock me), and I quickly removed my hand from under the pillow, ..and stretched it on the bed, open, like someone that wanted to receive something.
And slept off.
What did i receive, I have no idea .

Does anyone else have any lifestyle, habbit or addiction that the Lord has been warning you to stop? but you can't seem to comply? ..the Lord is your strength, .. just know that He does not give up...... I pray that you receive the strength to break free from whatever it is in Jesus name. Amen.

As for me, The only thing remaining for God during these past years and months was for him to come out physically and warn me seriously. Because I no hear, ..even when I heard, I still refused to hear!
God kept warning me Everytime in dreams, even sent a drunk man to warn me in my dreams, .... Sent a very Angry woman who barge into my room while I was sleeping and warned me SERIOUSLY. He Showed me what will happen to me if I did not stop, ..for where? ...I said all na dream, I still continued in my lifestyle o .

What was my Crime/lifestyle?....... I believe we are all aware of the kinds of trending 'Skin Whitening body creams/lotions and serums and soaps' we have out there these days? Egyptian whitening etc.. ...I was a member. ...I usually used those,
I never ran out. I didn't joke with my Skin products. Even If I was running out of cash, as long as I had already purchased my creams, ..I will not even worry . I was that far gone . ...along the years I will receive random warning in dreams, but wetin concern me?
Fastfoward to when my spiritual life uplifted. And I started desiring the presence of Christ, how much More the HolySpirit.

I did not have the HolySpirit, And I knew, ..no matter how much Dreams and encounters I have of Jesus, I knew something was missing. The HolySpirit was not living inside me . And I desired to have the HolySpirit by all means. I will pray pray pray! Asking God for his HolySpirit! I will continually remind the Lord of sevral Bible verses where he promised to give every believer the HolySpirit, if only we asked. ... I will say : Oya naaa I am asking, ...Papa God, give me your HolySpirit na, abeg' I was begging with everythiqng in me, because only the HolySpirit could fill the giant Vacuum that the Love for Christ had created in me . ....
That was how I continued praying for the HolySpirit from month to month, ..... Jesus will do everything else, ..be in my dreams, ..send Angels to my dreamsq, ..show me things in my dreams, But give me the HolySpirit to live and abide in me? ...for where. ... .(.And once the HolySpirit comes into you, everything else about your Spiritual life will be unlocked, physically and spiritually). ....

But honestly I didn't even think about all those things, I just Needed the HolySpirit because I felt a big Vacuum that kept drowning me day by day.
I disturbed and disturbed, one day, .. at Night God sent me a drunk man in my dream, and he was staggering from side to side, ..and he staggered to where I was sitting down, ...and he looked at me and he said : There was once a drunk man, ..who never gave up on drinking and this drunk man kept asking the HolySpirit to come and live inside him, even as he was a drunk. And he asked me, ' is that possible? ..and I said, ' No, it's not possible' ... And he replied me " It is thesame thing with a young woman that is using that cream you are using. And I woke up, ...I said to myself, ...' Drunk man, ..what does a drunkard know?' ...
Infact I even told myself that those dreams are from the devil trying to make me think I was doing something against God when I wasn't.


I continued , ..and The Vacum in my heart kept growing bigger, ..I will even be talking to myself like a mad person. That presence I desired was the HolySpirit.
So basically it was like starving somebody from food and water untillll they can't survive it anymore and give up whatever they were asked to give up. ..... That was the tactics The Lord was using, and it was working perfectly. Last weekend was the final straw for me, ..... I was laying on my bed and I just looked up at my dressing table, ..I don't know how I did it, but I just got up, went to the bathroom and picked the dustbin bucket, ..went to the table and swiped all of them inside. And went to keep the bucket, when I turned to leave, I heard the Lord clearly, ' Go and Fling all of them over the fence ' ....I hesitated, ...went back to the bucket, carried it outside .......after the fence in my house there is a small bush ...so I flung each one, one after the other . Went to my room, sat down and was just sad. I told God, 'Oya, ..


Shebbi I've done it, are you happy now?' ...I've stopped, I've stopped using creams on my skin, are you happy?' . I was Sad, very Sad. Lol.

The next day Saturday by morning I said, ok Lord ,..I'm going to the Supermarket to get a natural Product that I would be using then,..since that is what you want...Natural ( cocoa butter, shearbutter, Palmer's etc) ..Oya I am going. .. I was sooo worried, ... Which product will I even buy? All I knew was that it must be Natural, ...so I said, Ok Lord direct me to a sales person that will tell me the best Natural cream to use at least do that for me .
I entered the shop, I spent alot of time checking out the collections of expensive skin beautifying body creams, ..gels, ...whiteners,..all of them, I could not believe what was happening, ..I even went closer and spent time checking each one just because I couldn't help it. ..

Finally I heard someone behind me say, Erm is there a particular one you are looking for? Let me help you, .. .. I was still looking at the shelves so I shook my head, ..and just sighed and turned to the sales girl, I told her, ' I am actually looking for something Natural ' ..then with small confusion on her face she said to me, ' ah Madam you are in the wrong section na, ..nobi here, .. follow me' ..so she turned and started walking and I followed her, and as we were going, I noticed she had a perfect Caramel skin, ...very fine, she is not dark, she's not light just as I was before I started using the whitening creams, that turned my shade much lighter., .. her skin was beautiful and naturall. ..so I was sure that God answered my prayers by sending her, atleast whatever she is using, me self I will use, and get my natural Tone back, ...which was just similar to hers. ... . So, I caught up with her and I asked her ' ...Sis please which Products are you using on Your skin?' .... Na so she look me and shook her head and said " Nothing" , .... I thought I didn't hear well, ' so I asked her, ' Sorry?' ....She repeated it ' I don't use any product ..this is just my natural skin' .
I breath in, ..smiled and I said ok, ...ok, ..and complimented her, ...And in my mind I Told God, I said "for where I must buy, I must use something, you sent her to me on purpose, but. Me I must buy a body cream, .. you said natural product, I will buy natural, that is where our deal ends ' ... And so I bought something natural, ... Palmer's skin success. ...3,800.
I kept asking myself, am I really doing this?? , ..I was taking it to the counter and still asking myself ' are you really doing this?? ..e don be for you na, ..your own has finished, you have done ' ..
I paid for it, ..went home ... Waited till, 3 ..prayed to break my fast, ...told God in my prayers, I have obeyed you o. Anything else?'
I ate ....
At night I finally went to bed. .. and an Experience happened..... Cont'd

Please, are you guys not creating the Whatsapp group again?

Lol, send your line to my mail.

Sometimes I remind myself of how far I have come in this journey and it's what keeps me going in pursuing a relationship with Christ.

I don't keep a diary, so let me write here instead.

This happened just last year, ... Around when I decided to become more serious again with Jesus, .....
I was sleeping yet again, and what did I see?

I saw myself holding hands with a man, his figure was as dark as a shadow, you can't even see anything about him. And we were dancing, ... The way white people dance, where a man and a woman hold hands and sway from side to side quietly. ...This figure was the devil.

And this went on for some seconds, and suddenly another man appeared in our front (Jesus) and he stood there ....he was in white. ...and immediately he came, I stopped moving with this dark figure, ...I removed my hands from his own, and I stood still .... And then immediately I heard myself say the following 3 times : " I cancel every Covenant I have made with the Devil knowingly or Unknowingly, Amen"

3 times, ...and on the 3rd time, I fainted and fell down to the ground everystrength left me, ..and then when I got up, ..the dark figure was no longer there, and the man in white (Jesus) came instead and picked me up. And he held me close like I was his own. And he held me till I woke up.

I saw an image online recently and it reminded me of a certain period in my life, when I was almost knee deep into being initiated into Marine kingdom by Uni friends. ... I had about 5 friends that I had no idea they were all Marine possesd and apparently were on a mission to initiate me.

They shared my clothes, Combs , makeups , ....it's very dangerous to share these items with anyone, ...we ate together, slept on thesame bed, ...what did I know .

I remember one-day I was sleeping and I had a dream, .... I saw myself holding hands with an Unending line of young people,( both male and female) ....this line was sooooooooooooo long, that it started from the beginning of the world down to where I was . Everyone was holding hands with the next person and I was the last person ( newest member) . I even saw a girl that I knew from my secondary school in the line, ....I would never have guessed she could be one, she is so Churchy .

And as we stood, I held hand with the person next to me and because I was the latest person to be initiated there was no one after me holding my other hands.
And as we stood, suddenly a Strong demonic force of Power was released, Very strong dark power, and it went full force like a wave, from the person in the beginning of the line, and went like a wave through each person in the line, from one person to the other, till it got to me and the power hit me.

I woke up, ..... I had an idea of what had happened. ( I didn't know I was being initiated tho, ..but I knew that the people in the line were what we call Mami-water ..in Nigeria here )

I didn't even pray, ...I was almost gone then, ....by now I won't even be on this thread, but God saved me, he did, he said I was his Very Own!

By evening it was as if my entire heart was exploding and burning for Love of Jesus. This thing took over my whole Being, I was not myself. It engulfed me physically and spiritually that when I would be doing something, maybe I am around people, I would have to excuse myself to go somewhere solitary to breathe, just to breathe. Because there was literally no way I could breath normal.
It is not the type you experience when you have feelings or you are in love with your spouse, ...that one is just like a small joke compared to what was happening to me .
I cried, I wept, I was confused, I was desperate, I was desperate to have Jesus in my life, I was HUNGRY for the presence of Jesus. I was not myself.

But what was most important was that I could feel a deep sense of connection with Christ. It was like I was soooo aware and connected to him, that I would just start talking to him randomly about something, and I was very aware that I was having a conversation with someone right there with me.
I would talk in my heart, talk and talk, I couldn't stop, it was uncontrollable.

It actually became so much that I couldn't Contain it and I found myself asking Jesus, " Please Lorrrd, can you turn it down, Please I am going mad here, what am I supposed to do with myself? Nothing is enough to fill this Hunger, I felt like even if I swallowed the Bible I would still be so hungry for the presence of Jesus "

it was sooooo bad, ..another way to describe it is like Missing someone Soooosoooooo much that you feel you might die if the person doesn't come to you. I would sit up in my bed and I would weep and cry because I was desperate for the presence of Jesus,and I would just beg him, " Lord can you come to me please, I will do anything to be with you" . ..... If I find myself alone I would weep, because that was the only way I could let some of this feelings out and I would weep for Love of him, and his presence would be so strong and it would be so beautiful.

Jesus is beautiful.

Long story short, I kept begging for it to be tuned down a little. And one-day he did it. He reduced it, and when I woke up the next morning I could manage to breathe well, ..I knew it had been reduced. I didn't have to excuse myself from the sitting room to go and sit in the bathroom for a while to get myself. I was better. It had been tuned down a little.

But I was still leading my life to get closer to him every single day.
Just last week, I was using my phone and I randomly clicked the song " What a beautiful name it is, the name of Jesus" and the song played for a while and I kept the phone and went to do the dishes, while leaving the kitchen, because the lyrics was in my mouth I just found Myself singing : " What a beautiful name it is, the Name of Jesus...." ....

Immediately I said 'Jesus' OH my God, It hit me Againnn! like an unexpected Blow in my heart, honestly I can't explain it. I was sooo human and it was So unexpected that I paused and I said " Wow!! WOww!!!!" Again!??
I was so humanly weak that I immediately stoped singing that song, and I actually consciously walked to the sitting room where the TV was on, and distracted myself for it to not stay or remain.

Because, yes it is love, but it was dealing recklessly with me. I felt like I could die from such desperate hunger that is not of this world. Where will I start? ....I don't see Jesus, ..I'm not gifted enough to just find myself in his presence and feed my hunger, where do I start?.....this were the reasons why I had to start saving myself because you can't function normally like that.
I will be with people but yet I am not there . You will be talking I won't hear you, because my mind is somewhere else, ..that experience cannot even be explained.

My prayer life has never been better, and I'm still on the Journey of living for Christ.

To add :

I remember one-day when I was in serious traffic and only the bike men were moving all the cars were on standstill..I had to just drop from the taxi and take a bike, ...but even the road the bike was passing was sooo narrow that I was afraid we were going to fall inside a ditch near the road side, ...I have too much fear for bikes, ... That fear came that day and I immediately wanted to say a brief prayer in my heart so I said :" Dear Jesus....."

And honestly, That was all I said before I heard him very very clear say to me : " you think I would let anything happen to you?" . ... I didn't even complete the prayer again, I was just smiling like a fool, looool.

I'm going to share An encounter that happened to me maybe 4weeks ago, now to encourage anyone else that is on the part of having a better relationship with Christ.

I seem to have had this both conscious and unconscious desire to Love Christ more .
I rember an encounter in the dream where I was taken up to the heavenlys, ...... And Christ himself said to me : Anything I hear you say, I will do'

And right there it occurred to me to as for the death of some enemies that has been inflicting my family, but instead my spirit man, Asked Christ, : Help me to love you '

Now on my own as a human being if I was awake, I doubt I would have been smart enough to make the right choice my spirit man made.
I have also recently told a story of how I was lying down one-day ( it was a period where I was doing alot of research about the spiritual life and just wanted to gain as much knowledge to help me with my journey, ....The spirit of God asked me silently one-day in a trance : " Love or Knowledge" ..and my spirit man picked Love .
Which again was not my own fleshly doing .

Now fast forward to last last month, I remember stating here in one of my post that I would begin a 21 days fast and midnight prayers to increase my strength in prayer, because I felt I needed to attain a new level of Spiritual strength/growth, I was tired of being in thesame place and needed to move up, ..and I was also suffering burn out quite often.

So here is my encounter:

I did the fast till 3, everyday for 21days, ...and on The 14th day. ..I remember waking up and not even feeling much in the spirit, infact I was dissapointed in myself that I am doing prayer to not go higher and instead I find my spirit going down, ...for the first time in a long while, I felt like listening to some worldly musics sef, I plugged my ear piece and jammed to the fee worldly songs I still had back then .

but I still completed my fast and was bent on completing the prayer, honestly I didn't expect much .
When night came, I felt so tired and weak from my days activity that I even had slight body pains, finally I went to sleep, ....and set alarm for midnight prayers . The way the sleep was disturbing me that night you would think I took sleeping tablets.ii

And so I slept off, I was in the sleep state but I was having this experience..hours later:

An Angel of the Lord walked into my room(a male) and he sat down next to where I was lying down...I even thought I was awake because it was all so real.
And he looked down at me and he said to me :

" Give me one good reason why Jesus should agree to speak with you"

And immediately he asked that my Spirit man started responding : "Because it is my desire to live and work for Christ, etc etc." It was just talking and I guess it was saying all the right things that even the physical me will not think of so quick like that.

And as my Spirit man was speaking the Angel of God placed his two fingers on my forehead and Immediately he did that, I could see what was happening inside me, ...His hand on my forehead released an in-pouring of Something that looked like liquid fire inside me . I could see it flowing inside me from my head, through my lungs and every pipe in my body. And then he vanished.
And I woke up in the physical realm .

I asked myself : ' wow, what just happened? ..did that just happen?'
I checked the time, it was 1am . I started my midnight prayers. Finished praying and slept back.

When I woke up the next morning, .....the following song was playing on its own inside my head. I have only ever heard it once when I was watching a video about something else. I didnt have the song in my phone and I did not even take note of it the day I heard it .

But that morning it was playing on its own inside my head, ..I don't know how to explain it,
The lyrics :
"Set a fire in my soul that I can't contain, that I can't explain, I want more of you Lord".

Now this song was playing in my head independently and I even ignored it because my physical sef was more interested in getting up and beginning my day.

Now I will tell you the result of that event :

jubianose:

Thanks dear

Welcome .

Dear concerned members, ..you can send me an email to be added to the WhatsApp group.

Also CharlyG or Chaarly or Tjay.

Stay blessed.

@Jubianose.

noted ..You will be added.

CharlyG1:
I have received mails from people to add them on the WhatsApp group. That's really great.

So we'll be going with WhatsApp because it's convenient for everyone at this time. In the future, we can later decide if we'll move to Telegram or any other larger platform.

We'll be adding people up until midnight today and until tomorrow.

God bless you all.

Perfect.

Yeaaaa Finally, this Amazing thread has a group.

Ok, ......Let me Email you my digits. Then I can help from there

Tjayjosh:

While telegram may seem like a better bet, Whatsapp has greater user base than telegram, people use Whatsapp more, personally i don't use telegram for anything. whatsapp is compatible and is directly linked to Facebook, which means we could share information from whatsapp to Facebook easily, is like killing two birds with the sling of one stone, somebody posts a testimony, or a message about God, and everybody shares it from the group chat to Facebook. Imagine how far it will spread. Hmm.. "Wisdom is profitable to direct." Let the Holy spirit lead.

I don't wanto disregard other peoples opinions that's why I haven't gone ahead and created telegram. Every opinion is valid.

You mentioned Facebook, but the truth is that most people still want to maintain their Anonymous status and privacy (like me).

But I do agree with the fact that WhatsApp has more user-base and will be easily accessible to everyone.
For example if we are going with telegram, I would have to download it, ..and most people too will have to download and learn to use it, ...only a few already have it and are already using it.

Both telegram and WhatsApp make use of Phone numbers.

Some people might not bother downloading telegram but they already have WhatsApp. . .

I think i am a little worried that a few people might be left out and just fade away .... .if we go with telegram, easy accessibility is quite important.

This is just a last minute thought as I was going to play store to download telegram.
............
@CharlyG. Sorry o, I can't seem to decide

CharlyG1:
Hello People of God,

By the grace of God, a WhatsApp or Telegram group will be opened this coming weekend, 17th or 18th of this month.


I just don't know which social platform is best at this point. WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal?


I will also need at least three volunteers to help out in creating the group. Perra please take note.


Suggestions are welcome please.


God bless you all

Great!

Noted*

Let's go with Telegram. ...never heard of signal before.
The dates you mentioned are one week away, .... I'm all free to do whatever is needed. Any other volunteers can join please. .. ..

Happy Easter everyone.

So I will tell my Vaccine story. Only because I had an encounter today Easter .

So where I work we are part of the people in charge of the Covid-19 Vaccine, and it was kinda compulsory to take it.
My madam kept asking me and asking me to take it, they had all taken it.
Finally after praying for some days over the issue , Asking God to reveal to me if i should take it or not. ... Plus I also started hearing rumors that we can't travel out of the country without the card, etc etc, and I knew I had plans to travel out for something soon.

After praying for a while , No message to stop me. I said, Lord, ok, I'm taking it.
So I went to work, two weeks ago, and I received it.
Felt nothing serious just head ache, took Panadol and I was fine .

Fast-foward Easter morning .

By the way I had been on a 23 days fasting and praying, for a better relationship with the Lord, and my prayer was being answered just fine. An Angel even came to my room, to put fire in me ( I will write about that another time ) .

On good Friday, I fasted the whole day no food.
I was just giving my all in my prayer life and putting all my effort.

By Saturday evening I was done with my prayer, and was ready to celebrate Easter with Joy of course .

Now I went to bed that Saturday, and while sleeping, I had a dream .

And in this dream I was going to a shop near my house to buy pure water . And when I got to the shop, I asked the guy selling to give me pure water, And in the process I also noticed that there was a woman sitting there. She was decently dressed like all this deeper-life women. Covering her hair etc . And while I was waiting for the seller to give me what I wanted to buy, the woman looked up, and from her expression it was clear she had been waiting for someone.

And so she looked up at me, and She asked me " Are you **** ***** **** she called my full name, And I Answered her, " Yes I am "

And immediately I answered her yes, ..She stood up, ..And immediately she stood up, She Was No longer a woman, but a man in long white robe ( Jesus) ...And he said to me, his exact words : " Do a 3 days or 4 days fasting and praying to cancel the long term side effects of the vaccine that you took" .

And immediately he said that, the scene changed, we were no longer in the shop, but back to my room, where I was sleeping on my bed, and he was now standing near my bedside next to my wardrobes, still wearing the white long robe ( that kind of robe they wear in those old Jesus movies) ... When in my room, he was just standing there, and standing there, ..he stood for quite some time, While me I was on my bed, just the same way I was in real life sleeping, but in the dream realm my eyes was open and I was starring at him. Just starring from my bed where I was lying down. Nothing else was said . Just him standing and me looking at him . For a while he stood, and eventually started fading and fading, untill he was completely gone. And I woke up. It was 4 Am , and it was Easter morning Today.

And I forgot to add that when he was telling me to do the prayer to cancel the side effects, He allowed me to see myself in the future and the effect it will have on me if I don't do the prayer, And I saw myself:
My entire left side was stiff and paralyzed, ...my leg was stiff, my insides were all stiff and I couldn't move my entire left side.

The name of the Vaccine in Nigeria that I took is AstraZeneca .

achicares:
Luke 12:51
[51]Do you suppose that I have come to give peace upon earth? No, I say to you, but rather division


Mr. CharlyG1 can you or any other person explain this to me, please? I'm trying not to understand it to way it sounds, it could me something else spiritually.

To my understanding:

Have you not seen situations where people from other religions decide to follow Christ and their Family members and communities Ostracize them?

In the Muslim lad if you become a Christian you whole family will turn against you. Your father can. Even hate your mother because her child chose to follow Christ.

It happens almost everywhere. Even in your villages where some families worship shrines and idols, when some of them decides to repent and follow Christ, there is Serious devision and spiritual war there .

A woman that got married to a man that belongs to an occultic Kingdom found Christ and decided to follow Christ, the marriage scattered because her husband wanted to kill her for that.

Even friends turn against you when you decide to completely follow that part.

When people find Christ they want to follow him by all means, no matter the price.

So Jesus already knew all this things and he is a God that wants you to follow him no matter what it will cost you! ...devision, separation, persecution, War. No matter what , he wants you to follow him, because he came to collect his own people by force, his own are his own, and he will collect them from any situation that is hindering them from following him, no matter the cost. War o, Battle o, ..he doesn't care, he will always make those that belongs to him to follow him.

perezeghi:



The day you surrendered your life to Christ Jesus every one who made himself/herself your enemy automatically became an enemy to God.

God's grace is ever sufficient for you and His power dwells within/in you.

Psalm 119:10----With my whole heart I have sought You. 119:18---- Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law.(do not dwell your thoughts on the doings of the adversary but on the beautiful things that God has implanted in you).

Profess God's word into your life and command your territory to obey your voice as Christ Jesus speaks through you.

Amen��� thank you

perezeghi:



It is obvious that it's you the Lord has picked as His servant to deliver your household from the forces of darkness.
You are only but a vessel unto the Most High who fights for you. The battle is not yours but you must be committed and dedicated to play your role.
If you do attend a Bible believing church try volunteer to become a worker. Depending on the church ensure you roles does not hinder you from hearing/listening to the sermons that will be preached by the pastor/prophet/evangelist/bishop/G.O,etc etc.

As much as you read the Scripture try to meditate on each Word. Make study notes of them. I hope you know the Holy Spirit is not static but dynamic.

There's a reason why your spirit choose "Love". Certainly you'll come to the knowledge and understanding of it as the Holy Spirit leads you into battle.

It's paramount you build your faith by growing your knowledge of God's Word.
Knowledge is getting to know while understanding is an application of the knowledge. The Holy Spirit betters your understanding.

As you engage in fasting/prayers sing war/battle songs unto the Lord as well.

No matter the challenges there's always a Word from Scriptures to sort it out. Job.28.9b - He overturns the mountains at the roots.
Job.28.10 - He cuts out channels in the rocks...... And his eye sees every precious thing.


You'll have to put yourself in check to put to stop that cycle of falling.

In all these you do and much more, desire it with the right mindset and stay focused. Those whom the Lord has chosen He gives power to become sons of God.

2Cor.8.11 - but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have.
2Cor.8.12 - For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.


2Cor.1.20 - For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
2Cor.1.22 - who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

2Cor.1.3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
2Cor.1.5 - For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.

2Cor.1.3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,


See you at God's table.
Shalom.

Everything you said about God's word is true and I have been working on it. Reading and meditating on his words.
I should definitely start making study notes too.

And yes, I am trying to stop the cycle of falling, especially as it is so very dangerous for me. Because if not for the grace of God, the enemies I am fighting would have torn me apart whenever I am weak, but it has always been God fighting for me at those times when I am too weak to do anything for myself he delivers me always, and then I stand again and start again.
I need to stop it by God's grace and power .

Thanks, God bless

Nuttella:
I totally understand you dear, I use to be like you fighting from one battle to another, every time na spiritual warfare, even now I still fight battles, but now I have grown in spiritual warfare , my case then is evil birds crying near my window, till I finally prayed hard against them and they stopped mysteriously, the difference between us is that my fire was and is steady, never went down at all ever since I became a born again, I was always angry in the spirit cause those witches and marines too do and me I be stubborn person so I faught them tooth and nail, at a point I was loosing battles, I wept bitterly to God, I cried with a great cry, I told God I have been faithful and consistent with you, why am I losing battles? Thay was when God heard my cry, empowered me, gave me a higher spiritual authority cause I was battling demons of my father and mothers house obviously stronger than me and I was now winning them, I once had a dream where I killed upto 6men in army uniform, I am very aggressive in prayers cause these evil powers hate me so much and I hate them too with perfect hatred.

The reason why your fire goes down is because your enemies throw fiery darts to your spiritman, you need to be angry in the spirit, alert and possess your possession. Warfare prayers and midnight prayers helped me a lot, there was a time I did 21 days midnight prayers, I sacrificed my sleep to win my enemies, recently I no longer wake up midnight to pray cause of tiredness from the day's activities, but the holy spirit being so kind is now the person waking me up midnight to pray, sometimes he will shout at me to pray, sometimes he will wake me up with a calm voice, I will hear the voice audible especially when I am too tired to pray. You need to reach a level with the holy spirit in such a way that he won't allow your fire to go down at all.

Seek for deep koinonia with him.


God will deliver us from our enemies in Jesus name. Amen.

Prayer points I pray every time for more anointing.

*Holy spirit fill me with fresh anointing in Jesus name, fill me with anointing that breaks the yoke.

*Holy spirit empower me to be able to command higher spiritual authority in jesus name.

*Holy spirit fill me with your power in Jesus name.

Amen.

Thank you.
It is that level with the HolySpirit that I am currently seeking for.
I am not happy with the way my fire burns low and it troubles me surely.
I will apply this prayer points when I begin my fast over Higher anointing this week.
I appreciate,

God bless

perezeghi:


Amongst prayers points you have......
I'll want you to pray for the spirit of discernment as you read 1 Samuel 15 and 17 as it regards the challenge. Also 1 Kings 17 and 18........and may the Spirit of God lead you in prayers.

Thank you so much I will add these verses to my prayer Routine!

___________

During the lockdown I gave myself the goal to read the entire Bible, I just thought, 'why not' .
I didn't think anything would come out of it, I just wanted to be among those that have read the entire Bible, since I read alot of novels too. So why not the Bible?

And so I started on that Faithful day, I read from Genesis to Exodus from Exodus to the next two books and I felt sleepy and since I was on my bed I decided to have a little nap so that when I wake up I will continue.

And I dozed off, as I did so I was having a dream and someone walked into my room, it was n angel of the Lord in the form of a man, He had a whip, and he used the whip to whip me lightly where I was lying down, and he said ' READ' . ...and I jumped up and awoke, looked around me, I said WOw, what just happened now??

And I started reading, everyday I would read sevral books in the Bible the next day I will continue where I stopped. I started waking up at Midnight to pray, and I noticed that when I prayed it was as if real power had come into me.

My dreams were full of Battles which I always won, I used the HolyGhost fire to fight my battle.

I had a dream where I saw Jesus Sitting on a throne and he was Holding a big chain in his hands. And I kept telling everyone in the dream : He has broken my chains, he has broken my chains o, I was pointing and showing them '.

I kept reading the Bible, This village witches now come to attack me More heavily when I lie down to sleep, but The Lord made sure I was always ten steps ahead of them, They will enter my room as Masquerade to attack me while I slept and I would immediately wake up k knowing the person is there and had already failed on arrival, I would laugh, talk to the person, let him/her know he has failed and begin my warfere midnight prayers .

I see myself delivering people in my dreams, and so much more.
And it was during that time that I discovered the thread, and it's amazing what this thread can do for ones Spiritual life, when I felt weak it alone I came here to read and read, ...and I always left strengthened enough to carry on .

Now my problem which I am still trying to work on is that, I am not Steady. I keep struggling to remain on fire. Today I am So hit I confuse demons in my dream just by thinking it, tomorrow I am struggling to even say one midnight prayer, ...I would fall and fall and not be able to pray anymore, I would sleep without prayer. They will deal with me. Suddenly one-day I will rise again and start fighting again, start Firering, and it will be like I never fell in the first place, I will even be wondering how I ever fell in the first place .
Before you know I will fall gain, chei, no prayer, listen to wordly musics, not have the strength to read my Bible, be too weak to pray. Have bad dreams where my belongings are taken away from me, ...then I will start struggling to stand back up, ..I will start again, and Become fire again. And beg God to not let me fall again.
And the cycle usually continues .

I'm on fire now and when did I get up from my last Fall? Ending of January. I slipped here and there but have not really fallen flat yet again. It's a constant struggle for me .

You don't know what God has done for you if you are Completely and Steadily In the Lord . Steadily on fire and always powerful.

I am still trying to get to that Point .

Right now I am undergoing a 9 days fast and midnight for Personal deliverance from Powers ( wether witches, Occult o, Marine) ....From anyone that stands as an obstacle from my moving forward In life and I must say the Result has been wonderful to me. God has been good. The Revelations has been on another level. I have been victorious in battle.

After this 9 days which will end soon I will be doing another 9 days for Spiritual Power and Strength. I feel like I need more Power in the Lord, I can't continue like this, in this level . I just feel like I need to move to the next level of Power and authority.

I need my anointing to increase. I don't speak in tongues, I don't try to force it, I feel it would come when the Lord feels it's my time for it, I desire more of The Holy Spirit how to hear him more clearly and listen to him . Just more power in General because the Forces I'm fighting are too much for me .

I desire to be more than I am now. I desire an increase in anointing but most of all, I always Ask God to Increase the Love I have for him. That has always been my tool of accessing God's power and his presence, Once my heart is burning for God I become unstoppable.
Eventually it slows down and reduces this is when I usually fall . It has been a major prayer point of mine, asking God to keep the fire of Love for him burning in me at all times, and to Increase it .

After a very powerful midnight warefare prayers some nights back These evil demons or witches I don't know which one it was, came to start Knocking seriously at my door while I slept.
The Spirit of the Lord told my Spirit not to answer or acknowledge the Knocking because the moment I do, they will come inside to attack me .
It continued till daybreak.

I was lying down on the floor some weeks back just letting the days pass by, and The spirit of the Lord asked me : " Knowledge or Love" I heard it with my Spirit. And without my own Bodily control my Spirit man replied " Love " .
And I woke up.

I have not taken it upon myself to fight these witches and wizards attacking my Family because I feel that there is such a thing as Higher anointing, which I am trying to attain to . For now I'm just praying for my deliverance and Increase in my Fire and Power. And even as I am doing these prayers I always see them being defeated on my part.
But you know that family deliverance is an entirely different matter and I would need to attain a higher level with he Lord, which I will start working on soon enough.

Nuttella:
Hello sister Perra, send me a pm, I can guide you on how to defeat them and get your victory, I have done a lot of spiritual warfare in the realm of the spirit, I had it in my spirit to tell you this, its your choice though.

No they must Not win! I continue asking God for more Strength, Power and Authority to defeat this people. I definitely welcome directions from fellow warriors. I will pm you.

I rember last year December, One of my uncle ( a young man of 36) was boasting that he belongs to not less than 14 cult groups, he was boasting about how no one can challenge him .

I grew up thinking I was Asthmatic, and always suffered from chronic Cough. I Suffered, I Mean Really suffered from this two things while growing up, I used to cry to God in pain because I couldn't breath many times when I am exposed something as simple as dust. Kai I Suffered.
It was so bad.
Untill one very day when I was 19, and my Aunty that is Prophetically gifted by the Lord came to visit my family from the village ( She is the instrument the Lord has been using to fight them all along, she has been a thorn in their flesh) .

When she came I was sooo down, I was having a very Severe Cough and Asthma attack at thesame time, couldn't breath couldn't even live.

That Very night she came, she slept in thesame room with me and my other sister. I was very sick,when all of them where sleeping I sat up on the bed because I was in so much agony, and was weeping silently so that I wouldn't wake them .
I wept, and eventually laid down back. I was no longer weeping just silent. You can't tell I'm awake cuz I just closed my eyes like everyone else.

Suddenly my Aunty that had been fast Asleep, started saying : Jesus, Jesus, Jesssssus. Repeatedly.
I was awake so I could hear her, finally she sat up on the bed and tapped my thinking I was sleeping.

I woke up and she Called my name and she Said : Is This what you have been suffering Is this seriously what you have been suffering??.

I didn't know how to reply her since we had not previously discussed anything about me and it was also her first time visiting my family from the village so, I didn't know how to answer, I was just looking at her .

And she said that while she was sleeping that the Lord opened her eyes and revealed to her everything about my health Condition and and told her I was Given this sickness by a woman when I was little and my parents took me to the village.
She said the woman gave me meat, which I ate and after eating it I coughed three times and since then my problems began. She said the aim was that during my adult age it would continue increasing untill I finally die.
She asked me what I had been using to treat myself I brought out all the drugs and inhalers ( none of which was even working as I kept getting worse ) ....she packed all of them and threw it away.
Told me to go buy olive oil, I did. She prayed upon it. Gave me the psalms to read while drinking the oil for three days. And Prayed heavily upon me .
And that was how my healing Came about. In three days I was Healed, hail, and Perfectly healthy. I was soo happy. And since then I had never experienced That hell again .
That witch woman that poisoned me is my Father's Sister . Who is still alive today and working with the rest of them on how to kill any of us.

Allot of hidden things was brought to the light alot of Cameleon couldn't hide anymore and they now fight us without hiding .

As for me, my Revival ( I call it Revival because as a Child I was Very special and used to be constantly in the Lord's presence and walk with him, and deliver people from my dreams, and spend months praying for sinners, I lost it all when I was about 15 and I begged God to allow me be normal like my mates that I felt abnormal living such Holy/religious life when everyother teenager were living a 'normal life'

I didn't know the consequences of my prayer. Eventually I had a dream where I left the vineyard of the Lord and went into Theworld to become like everyone else .

And that was how I grew up without prayer, I suffered. From Marine people wanting to initiate me, to Witchcraft attacks from Uncle's and Aunts that made it their mission to destroy my family.

I would read for exams, study hard and fail. I would see myself in dream looking for my pen to write my exam and not find it. I knew I was under attack. I spent extra four years after my mates graduated trying to graduate.

All this while I never really lived a stupid life, no clubbing no nothing . But I was severely dealt with. My life was a mess!! No good thing ever happend to me.

Thesame Aunt of mine that prayed for me to get well, came for holiday another time again and God still used her to conduct a deliverance on me from the hold of Marine friends that were almost through with initiating me Into to their kingdom and I had zero idea.

She delivered me. I cut those friends off and stayed on my own .
all these while I still did midnight prayers every now and then. Begging God to help me with my life. Fighting to no avail. Stagnancy, dissapointment and falliure. Just name it.

Sometimes I would rember my past with the Lord and I would feel sorry, I would pray saying I was sorry I ever left his presence in the first place.


Fastfoward to the lockdown. I gave myself a goal to read the entire Bible from begging to the end . Little did I know that God was about to pick me up again.

Everything bro CharlieG wrote up there about witches and wizards couldn't be more true!!

Very Very accurate. you just described my Uncles and Aunty that want to use witchcraft to wipe their whole lineage.
In my family it is not hidden, and we know who is on which side and there is a continuous and constant Battle for one side to defeat the other. And by God's grace we the Children of the Almighty God will surely defeat them.

My Uncle actually said it out loud that they will see between them that are witches and we that are Children of God, Who will win. The battle has been going on and I will definitely testify over this matter. Surely!

Sir shed some light on warfare prayers, some men of God are against it, like praying against witches and demons, what is your opinion on it? Cause my bible tells me to suffer not a witch to live and I have following my bible, today after an intensive warfare midnight prayers, I killed a man that attacked me in a dream. He is either a wizard or a demon, I really do not care.

Warfare prayers works wonders.

Men of God that are against warefare prayers are the types that are still living in the flesh . Men of God that called themselves if I must say.
You see them castigating Spirit-filled men of God that truly know what they are doing.
They end up blinding and misleading their congregation.

I find them Very very annoying! And most times they are extremely jelous of those men of God that truly have that Unique Power of Prophecy and seeing into the spirit. thus making them preach against them. They discourage people from going to see them or attending their programs .

They tell you that it is wrong to Say 'HolyGhost fire' , that there is no such this as spiritual husband or wife .
That there is no such thing as A witch manipulating or Killing someone.

They Dummy-fy their congregation and make them ignorant and dead In The spirit.
The list goes on

God bless you too. I have not used Telegram before. I'll look into it though.

I am still in prayer mode, so no hurries. Let's wait a bit.
I'll update everyone, this month about the group to be formed.

God bless you

All right then . No hurries. When the time comes let us know.

CharlyG1:
Okay People of God,

I have read all that has been said about having the WhatsApp Group or not.
Some think it means abandoning this thread and shifting focus on the WhatsApp group.

And some others believe it's an extension to further the work of God, believing that when I leave, the thread might die slowly.


I understand the fears of people thinking the thread will be abandoned if the whatsapp group starts. I used to have that mindset too.

And I understand the fears of others thinking the thread might die slowly seeing I won't be active any longer this year.


Deep down in my spirit, I know we need to have a WhatsApp group. I have seen us come together closer than we are now.


We can have the group. But maybe not on WhatsApp. Maybe on Telegram or even Signal.
And to balance the events on the thread and on the group, we should be able to have some kind of regulation... Like, maybe, have the group open only on certain days in the week so that we can always still visit here. And maybe we should only share short messages on different topics for people to be able to read easily on the group.


The group brings us together better than the thread. The group allows for Godly-social interaction..and it won't invade privacy.

And if a person wishes to not reveal their personal number on the group, we should find a way to do that.


This whole thing is becoming like a church to me. And I never knew this thread will become this the day I started it. But what it does is bring us closer as a church, sharing God's Word amongst ourselves in love and strength.
Many who need Godly friends will find friends on the group.

What I know is that, if God is with you in anything. That thing must be successful.


So, this is my thought about this. I welcome other suggestions, and ideas from you all about this.

God bless you all.

God bless you CharlyG. Telegram will work just fine.
And the idea of the group opening on certain days to keep the thread moving is a good one too.
So maybe the Group will open From Friday through to Sunday ( Friday/weekends) .

While this thread will carry through the week days, Monday to Thursdays.?
suggestions.

And finally if everything has been settled, maybe
bro CharlieG you can create the group? or apoint someone to do it. Im still learning how to use telegram

God bless.

@Nnamdiosu, God bless you too brother .

The reason for suggesting a WhatsApp group is because the creator of the thread, who is our brother CharlyG whom God has been using enormously in the thread, made the following post when one of us asked him if he will be leaving the thread soon :

Yes, most likely this year. But I'm not certain what month exactly. There is another burden the Lord wants me to pick up, and so I must drop this one.
God is here, and is with you all. Keep close to God and His Word, and His promises will always be yea and amen in your lives.

God bless you.

Yes, I know CharlyG is just an instrument of God, and in this case, 'the instrument that God used to create and keep this thread till now'

Let's be truthful here:

What happens to most threads on Nairaland when their creator/author drops? Or leaves? ......it ends slowly......maybe not at once, but quietly and slowly it ends.
Now, I am speaking from my own personal view.

Have you ever created a thread on Nairaland? If yes, What happened to it when you(the creator) stopped following it up? Other people kept it moving with the full Purpose you had when you created it? Yes?

did they turn it to something else?
Did it become an argument ground? Or did it slowly die off ?

CharlyG was used to create the thread and somehow he has been the 'super-glue' holding the thread together all these years, and if he announces that he will soon be leaving I don't know about you but my own spirit kinda told me silently that the mission of this thread has been completed. ( I may be wrong, but that's just how I felt deep down).

So what was I trying to do by suggesting a WhatsApp group?

I am not saying the thread should move to WhatsApp and continue there no, no, no.

It is a WhatsApp group of believers that found themselves on a thread in Nairaland, that shared their wins and their struggles in their Christian growth,
That have learnt from each other and have been a constant source of encouragement to each other during their trying times in their spiritual growth.

I am saying that there is nothing wrong with wanting to sustain or continue this Christian friendships that has been formed from a place of burning desire for Christ.

If I have sustained friendships of worldly people during my life as a young woman, where all we did was talk about Rihanna and the latest Pop music, then why won't I want to sustain a group of friends that would lead me to Christ continually on a daily basis.

I don't know what the WhatsApp group will be about, but it would Definitely be about growing in Christ .
And like CharlyG said before, there would be praying and fasting concerning it .

Overall it is God that would take the lead because he can clearly see that the group was created for the purpose of growing more in him and nothing else.


Or if you all prefer, there would be no WhatsApp group, ..and CharlyG leaves and moves on to his new assignment in the Lord .. eventually other people would move on too and continue in their personal growth And we all move on
That's also Cool.
That is also an option.

God bless,
