You’re Demon-Proof Against the Spirit of Death

I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes (Hosea 13:14 KJV)

Through Jesus we have eternal life.

The powerful thing about this is that our eternal life begins the moment that we receive our salvation through Jesus. Our spirit is regenerated and is renewed each day. While this is powerful, we must also remember that God’s intent is for the whole man to experience salvation.

When Adam was originally made, before the fall, his physical body was already a glorified body. When Jesus returns, all of creation will be filled with His glory. This resurrection glory will change the physical bodies of all of God’s people. The mortal will put on immortality, and even our physical bodies will no longer experience death. This includes those who are asleep. Their bodies will be raised from dust, just like how God originally made Adam from the earth. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. This will make it impossible to die. But in the here and now, we can be taken by God rather than die of sickness and disease.

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:52-57 KJV).

And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body (Romans 8:23 KJV).

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death (1 Corinthians 15:25-26 KJV).

Against this, the spirit of death is not difficult to understand. This spirit entered the earth at the fall of man. Its goal is to cut people’s lives short on earth. Masses of people leave the earth prematurely. The devil intends to use people as his instruments of evil, and once he has no more use for a person he kills them. If a person becomes saved and is having a great impact on the earth, he desires to remove them from the earth so they cannot continue to advance God’s Kingdom.

Spirits of Infirmity

Spirits of infirmity are demons that are responsible for the world of sickness and disease. Not all diseases are caused by demons; however, there is a demon that can manifest in every form of disease. The spirit of infirmity works with death. When a person is sick, they are experiencing something that was not originally in the Garden of Eden. Some of the clearest signs of a spirit of infirmity are medical conditions that doctors cannot identify. The reason they cannot diagnose the issue is because the root lies in the spirit realm.

Sometimes a person may not die prematurely from the sickness, but infirmity also partners with spirits of poverty. Every time you have to purchase medicine, pills, medical equipment, and things of that nature, this is the devil swallowing your finances. We see this in the life of the woman with the issue of blood. She was a wealthy woman until she became sick. Over the course of 12 years, she had lost her wealth going to physicians. Medical science does a great service to humanity, but it has limits. It cannot deal with spiritual matters. It has no jurisdiction in the spirit realm.

Sometimes the spirit of infirmity will also manifest in sicknesses we do not think are a major deal. We see this in Peter’s mother-in-law:

And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them (Luke 4:38-39 KJV).

In the above mentioned text, Jesus had just left the synagogue and gone to Peter’s house with him. When they arrived, Peter’s mother-in-law was sick with a fever. Jesus rebuked the fever and she immediately got up and began to serve them. It’s unclear how, but the word may have gotten out that Peter’s mother was healed, because after this Jesus would heal the sick from sunset until daybreak. Remember to never be upset with your pastor for holding long services again! The Bible describes the people being healed as Jesus casting out devils. This means that many of the sickness that people were being healed from were infirmities.

We do not have to settle for sickness and disease. We can come into a revelation of the resurrection of Jesus so that death cannot live in our bodies. We can see the reality of the resurrection, not just in the dead rising, but even in our mortal bodies in the here and now.

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body (2 Corinthians 4:10 KJV).

His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth (Job 33:25 KJV).

Familiar Spirits

One of the most ancient practices on earth is that of a medium. Mediums work with familiar spirits who imitate the dead. Through this, the devil deceives people into believing that they can communicate with the dead. For this reason, I have included familiar spirits due to their connection with the dead and the spirit of death. The scripture passage below is actually one of the most detailed stories of how a medium conjures up spirits.

Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor. And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee. And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die? And Saul sware to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing. Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul. And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth (1 Samuel 28:7-13 KJV).

In this text, we read that the woman with the familiar spirit “brought up” Samuel. She was directly conjuring up spirits that function under the earth. Saul had wanted guidance, but unfortunately, because of his rebellion, God would not respond to Saul. So rather than repenting, Saul decided to turn to witchcraft.

Saul had previously removed all witches and warlocks from the land of Israel. So you can imagine how hypocritical it was for Saul to turn to the very thing he removed from the nation. Saul decided to search for someone with a familiar spirit. He went to a place called Endor in northern Israel and found a woman who was still secretly operating in witchcraft. King Saul disguised himself and took two men with him at night to see her. These things help us to see how Saul knew that it was wrong. He did not want it to be known that the king of Israel who drove witchcraft out of the land was now going to the devil for answers.

The woman was reluctant to help Saul because she perhaps had to be very careful who she practiced her craft around. Saul assured her that nothing would happen. She knew that it would have meant death if these men were not being honest. Eventually, she agreed to call up a person for him. Once she did, she was afraid because what appeared to be Samuel came up. She was afraid of Samuel because of his spiritual pedigree and all of the frustration he brought to the world of witchcraft. She also became afraid because she realized that this man was King Saul. Perhaps she thought it was a trap to see if she was illegally operating in witchcraft.

Saul assured her again that nothing would happen and he asked her what she saw. She told him that she saw gods coming out of the earth and that she saw an old man with a mantle on. When she said this, Saul immediately knew it was Samuel. Samuel proceeded to tell Saul that he would die and reminded him the kingdom had been taken from him by the Lord.

There are several ways that we can look at this text. The first would be that when the witch went to conjure up a familiar spirit, God in some way intervened and caused Samuel to actually appear before them. My only argument with this line of thinking is that a witchcraft practice would more than likely not bring up Samuel. This would mean Saul was able to speak to Samual, who was the righteous dead, through witchcraft. I believe the spirit that came up was a familiar spirit. One of the reasons people go to mediums to do necromancy—the practice of communicating with the dead—is because these spirits are so good at imitating their lost family members.

A few years ago, there was a bishop who lost his father at some point in his life. He went viral on social media because he wrote about going to a medium because he missed his father so much. He shared that he actually spoke with him and that it was extremely refreshing. This bishop could not tell the difference between the familiar spirit and his father. He genuinely felt he had an actual experience with his father.

In this biblical story, I believe what we are really seeing is that the familiar spirit took on Samuel’s appearance and said exactly what Samuel would say if he encountered Saul. Much like what happened to this bishop, who was unfortunately deceived. The only reason that I don’t believe that this is Samuel in this text is because talking to the dead is forbidden in the law. It is a sin to attempt to communicate with the dead. We must take note that what led Saul to find this woman was that God would not answer him through prophets or through dreams.

I want to elaborate on a few of the more common signs that indicate you are in need of deliverance. The first sign that someone is dealing with graveyard spirits is excessive fear. Whenever a person has many phobias or they feel as if someone is following them, it is often a sign that they are dealing with the spirit of death. These individuals who are fighting graveyard spirits will have a constant fear of death. They will be plagued with thoughts of dying. They often think about how they might die, and they often wonder if some type of misfortune will take place in their life.

When someone is dealing with these types of things, they are actually in need of deliverance. The root of most fears is actually the fear of death. Whenever someone is afraid of something, the reason is that they have connected it somehow with death. So if a person is afraid of heights, they’re afraid to fall and die. If someone is afraid of snakes or spiders, they are afraid of being bitten and receiving lethal venom. We do have a natural, healthy fear that God has programmed inside of us, almost as a warning to keep us safe, but the spirit of fear is completely different. It’s excessive, without reason. One of the reasons the person is dealing with such fear is because they can actually sense the activity of graveyard spirits in their life.

Silence Python Spirits: 8 Decrees that Arrest These Demonic Spirits

One day, as we were going to the house of prayer, we encountered a young slave girl who had an evil spirit of divination, the spirit of Python. She had earned great profits for her owners by being a fortune-teller. She kept following us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Great High God, and they’re telling us how to be saved!” Day after day she continued to do this, until Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit indwelling her, “I command you in the name of Jesus, the Anointed One, to come out of her, now!” At that very moment, the spirit came out of her! (Acts 16:16-18 The Passion Translation)

Prayer of Activation

1. Worship God

Heavenly Father, holy is Your name and greatly to be praised. You are the Father of Light and in You is no shadow of turning. I worship and adore You in Yeshua’s name, for this purpose was I created, to give You pleasure through my love and adoration. May Your Kingdom manifest in my life as it is in Heaven. Plead my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me; fight against any entity or person who is contending against me and what is written about me in Your book of destiny. Heavenly Father, it is written in Psalm 27:6 (NASB), “And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me, and I will offer sacrifices in His tent with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.” Heavenly Father, I thank You that I will never be swallowed by the demonic powers because You are the Lifter of my head. Abba Father, I enjoin my worship to the heavenly chorus of worship of Your holy angels and the crowd of witnesses, in Yeshua’s mighty name.

2. Enter the Courts of Heaven

Heavenly Father, Righteous Judge, I ask that the Courts of Heaven be seated according to Daniel 7:9-10 (AMP) and that all books related to my life and destiny be opened. I ask this in Yeshua’s mighty name. It is written: “I kept looking until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of Days (God) took His seat; His garment was white as snow and the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was flames of fire; its wheels were a burning fire. A river of fire was flowing and coming out from before Him; a thousand thousands were attending Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand were standing before Him; the court was seated, and the books were opened.” Heavenly Father, Righteous Judge, I am requesting the privilege of standing before the courtroom of the Ancient of Days according to what was revealed to the prophet Daniel, in Yeshua’s name, I pray. Heavenly Father, I stand in Your royal courtroom because of the shed blood and finished work of Yeshua on the Cross. I have come to receive Your righteous judgment over my life against silencing the python spirit that satan has been using against me. Heavenly Father, I call upon Your holy angels to be witnesses to my lawsuit and righteous prosecution of every python spirit that is working against me. I decree and declare that every python spirit covering my spirit, soul, and body will be removed so I can achieve my God-given destiny here on earth, in Yeshua’s name I pray.

3. Repent

Heavenly Father, Righteous Judge, it is written, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9 NKJV). I therefore activate the law of repentance and present before this court my heartfelt repentance for my personal transgressions, and for the iniquities of my forefathers that opened the door for the python spirit to oppress my life and bloodline, in Yeshua’s name I pray. Heavenly Father, I ask that the blood of Yeshua wash away every iniquity of my forefathers that the enemy is using as a legal right to build cases against me and to bind me to the python spirit. I also repent for all self-inflicted word curses and covenants with demons that have existed in my ancestral bloodline. I am asking that every ancestral agreement with demonic powers and evil altars will now be revoked. I petition the courts of Heaven to silence their right to claim me and my bloodline, in Yeshua’s name. Thank You, Lord, for revoking these demonically engineered covenants and evil altars in Yeshua’s mighty name! Heavenly Father and Righteous Judge, it is my heartfelt desire to divorce myself from every python spirit that is operating in my life. I petition the Ancient of Days to grant me a verdict of judicial emancipation from the oppressive power of the python spirit. I receive Your favorable verdict by faith in Messiah’s finished work and shed blood.

4. Petition the Courts of Heaven to Dismiss All of Satan’s Charges

Heavenly Father and Righteous Judge, based upon Yeshua’s finished work and my heartfelt repentance, I now move on the court of Heaven to dismiss all of satan’s accusations and charges against me and my bloodline in Jesus’s name. Righteous Judge, dismiss every one of satan’s accusation connected to the python spirit that is oppressing my life. For it is written in Revelation 12:10 that the accuser of the brethren has been cast down. So, I petition You, heavenly Father and Righteous Judge to cast down all of satan’s accusations against me and dismiss all of satan’s charges against me, in Yeshua’s name, I pray.

5. Declare Your Authority in Christ

Heavenly Father and Righteous Judge, in Luke 10:19 (NKJV), Yeshua says, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Heavenly Father, as I prepare myself to pronounce powerful apostolic and prophetic decrees, I totally acknowledge my God-given authority in Christ to trample on serpents and scorpions that satan has weaponized against me and my destiny, in Yeshua’s mighty name, I pray. The Bible also says in Proverbs 28:1 (NKJV), “The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.” Heavenly Father, because of my God-given authority in Christ, I am as bold as lion. No messenger of satan, human or demonic, can intimidate me. I am like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, in Yeshua’s mighty name, I pray. I thank You, heavenly Father, that in Mark 16:17-18, Yeshua gave me the authority to cast out devils and take up serpents and to bring God’s healing power to those who are sick and oppressed. I therefore make the following decrees, completely assured of both my identity and authority in Christ Jesus!

6. Loudly Declare These Supernatural Decrees So You Can Have Your Breakthrough:

Heavenly Father I decree and declare that the power of the python spirit is completely broken over my life. I decree that I am no longer a victim of the python spirit, in Yeshua’s name.

I decree and declare that You are setting me free from every python spirit that causes physical and spiritual deafness in Yeshua’s name.

I decree and declare that the Holy Spirit is setting me free from the python spirit that has caused any kind of spiritual blindness in my life, in Yeshua’s name, I pray.

I decree and declare that the Holy Spirit is setting me free from the python spirit that would cause me not to walk in the truthfulness of God’s Word, in Yeshua’s name, I pray.

I decree and declare that as I bring my sacrificial offering into the courts of Heaven, the power of the python spirit that satan placed over my finances is now destroyed, in Yeshua’s name.

I decree and declare that the python spirit covering my mind and stopping my spiritual and mental transformation according to Romans 12:1 is removed in Yeshua’s mighty name!

I decree and declare that God is setting me free from the python spirit, which has caused me to be spiritually crippled in Yeshua’s name, I pray.

I decree and declare that everything, which has been stolen from my life because of the python spirit, will now be restored back to me, in Yeshua’s name, I pray.

7. End with Thanksgiving

Heavenly Father and Righteous Judge, I thank You that the foundation of Your throne is righteousness and justice. Thank You for giving me justice against the demonic entities behind the python spirit. Heavenly Father, I thank You that because of the finished work of Yeshua on the Cross, You have translated me from the kingdom of darkness to Your glorious Kingdom of Light! Heavenly Father, since You have adopted me into Your divine family, I thank You that You always hear me, when I pray. I thank You that every apostolic and prophetic decree that I have made has been heard. Thank You, Lord, that everything I have just decreed is on its way to full manifestation in Yeshua’s mighty name. Heavenly Father, until the manifestation, I will maintain an aggressive attitude of thanksgiving for the complete manifestation of what I have decreed today! In Yeshua’s name I pray.

Break Demonic Atmospheres: How to Reclaim America from Forces of Darkness

And I have put My words in your mouth; I have covered you with the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens, lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, “You are My people” (Isaiah 51:16 NKJV)

Isaiah 51:16 speaks revelation to us right now, in this day and time.

However, the fullness of what God was saying to the prophet Isaiah is not going to be manifested until He comes back in His millennial reign. Notice He says, “I have put My words in your mouth.” The word for mouth is the Hebrew word peh, and it means “the taste center of the body” (Strong’s H6310). You eat food by putting it in your mouth, chewing it up, and swallowing it. Where words are concerned, the mouth is literally the speech center of the body.

Peh also has a figurative meaning—the opening of the body to sound forth a command, an instruction, a prophetic word or insight, or some other communication. The mouth does this by forming and amplifying words to a person, organization, congregation, nation, government, or other similar entity. God distinguishes two different realms where the words take effect, realms not talked about very much in our times but clearly emphasized by God right from the beginning—the heavens or the earth.

Prayers are Word Seeds

In this verse in Isaiah, God talks about words sounding forth from the mouths of His sons and daughters, His heirs, into the realm of the heavens or the earth. This again emphasizes that words are seeds—word seed decrees. This also includes prayer because prayers are words of communication seeded into the heavens and into the earth. Prayer is speech to God making a request, but it is also, at times, a decree of God’s promises. Prayers express confidence in God’s answering abilities, or they may ask for divine intervention into a situation.

The mouth (peh) is the opening of the body to sound forth God’s Word as seeds that grow to fullness until they are manifested in the heavens or on earth. The mouth is, therefore, the opening through which we sow the seed of God’s Word into a region. Lucifer and his kingdom seek to silence Christ’s Body (the Church). They want our mouths closed. They don’t want us to speak. Part of a demon’s assignment is to shut the mouth of Christ’s Body. Too many in the Body of Christ have fallen into that error and actually embraced it.

From the very beginning, God’s original intent was for His sons and daughters, His heirs, to open their mouths and declare His words onto the earth. He has put His Word in your mouth so that He may plant it in the heavens and on the earth. The word for plant is the Hebrew word nata, and it means “to plant, to fix, or to set in place” (Strong’s H5193). God Himself was the original Gardener, and we have inherited that job from Him as His heirs.

God’s Spoken Words

In the beginning, God planted the stars. His Word said “be” and it was. He set the stars, sun, and planets into place. He planted galaxies and moons with His Word. He planted the heavens and He planted the earth with His word seed decrees. He told the prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 51:16, “I have put My words in your mouth…that I might plant the heavens, [and] lay the foundations of the earth.” Foundations on the earth were established according to God’s decreed word. The condition of the heavens and the earth were dependent upon the Word of God, His spoken word, and it still is today.

The entire universe is made to hearken to the voice of God’s Word. Heaven and earth are made to respond to the voice of God’s Word. Angel armies are made to respond to the voice of God’s Word. Amazingly, human beings, made in God’s image and likeness, are also carriers of God’s voice when they are activated at the new birth.

As His seed on the earth, we are to open our mouths and plant the heavens and the earth with God’s Word. We are to declare the words of God into the heavens and the earth, mankind, nations, government, congregations, and people everywhere to set in place foundations for stable government and society. We are to be stewards of what God said was to be. If the foundations are not set according to God’s Word, then at some point that society is going to crumble under the weight of iniquitous roots. Jesus said that such a house will not be built upon rock; it will be built upon sand, and when the storm comes it is going to fall (see Matthew 7:26).

The Body of Christ is to open their mouths and plant God’s Word into the earth. Like my grandfather planted produce (good seeds) into all of Waverly, we, too, are to plant God’s good word seeds into our cities and regions. “I have put My words in your mouth that I might plant the heavens and the earth.” Words are the seeds we plant with.

Planting Words in a Region

Years ago, before I ever understood that words are seeds, I remember I was asked to go to a very small church in southern Ohio. I knew the pastor, and they had a special event going on and wanted me to come share. I don’t remember what the event was, but I remember praying, “Okay, Lord. What should I share with these people?” As I prayed about, it I received revelation concerning the church ruling and reigning with Christ Jesus in this life (see Romans 5:17). I got a download of understanding and it just kept coming.

Afterward I began to think, I need to help the Lord out here. It’s something I don’t attempt to do much anymore, but I said, “Lord, that’s not what these people need to hear. They won’t understand this. This is not even on their radar screen. This is not where they are.”

He said something to me all those years ago that I have never forgot- ten, and it has been instruction for me concerning my apostolic calling and assignment ever since. He said, “They will understand what I help them to understand and what I reveal to their hearts.” In other words, don’t you worry about them getting fed—I will take care of that.

I have seen that over the years. I don’t know how many times I have preached a sermon and somebody has come up and said, “That is exactly what I needed to hear,” and proceeded to tell me what they got from the message. In the meantime, I’m thinking, That is not even what I said! It’s not even my point! But it was God’s point to them. However many people are there, that’s how many sermons you’re preaching because they’re thinking concerning their own life situations, their own experiences, and what God is saying to them.

God said, “They’ll understand what I help them understand and what I reveal to their hearts.” But then He said, “I need you to plant this word into the region.”

Now that gave me pause. I began to think, Can I do that? Lord, can I plant a message in the heavens and the earth realm of a region? Do You really want me to plant a message, to plant doctrine from Your Word into the atmosphere of a region?

Very clearly He said to me, “Yes. I want to grow it there. It has been requested by My people, and I need you to sow it into the region. I need you to set the foundations. I need you to lay the biblical foundation for it. It’s what apostles and prophets do.” I remember thinking at the time, They do? I didn’t know that. Then the Scripture came to mind that the church is built upon the foundation of the apostles and the prophets (see Ephesians 2:20). He clearly said, “I need you to sow this into the region.”

Seeding the Atmosphere

I had never thought about it. It had never crossed my mind. I had never heard anybody else talk about this. But I knew a new level of understanding was being given to me, one that years later would help me with my apostolic calling. Sometimes when I am preaching, I will have the awareness that while I am talking God is going to help people understand or get something out of it, but I am also seeding the atmosphere of a region. I’m preaching a message, but I am really planting revival seeds everywhere. I’m planting God’s will into the region. I am setting the foundations in the spirit realm. Sometimes I feel like I am laying a foundation in the spirit realm or into the atmosphere so that there can be productivity. I am preaching and planting the heavens.

I’m preaching and planting the earth, in and around this country, for reformation and awakening.

So many times I have the awareness that God is saying, “Plant this into the region. Don’t worry about it. Just plant it into the spirit realm. I want to grow it there. It’s been requested by My people.” Some Sunday mornings, on my way to speak, I experience understanding and begin to think, I’m preaching this one to seed the region. I am preaching this to seed into the state. I am preaching this to seed it into the atmosphere of the United States of America. It’s not always that way, but sometimes it is. I had to learn that. It is something apostles and prophets do, but it is also something all sons and daughters are supposed to do—apostles and prophets just model it.

Unlock Your Supernatural Gifts: Master the 7 Stages of Spiritual Abilities in Your Calling

In the New Testament, God’s people operated with some incredible supernatural abilities.

At the word of Jesus, Peter walked on water. Later, Peter walked by those who were sick on the street, and his shadow healed them of their ailments. In another instance, he spoke a word, and a man and his wife immediately fell dead for lying to the Holy Spirit. Philip vanished and reappeared by the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul struck a man blind for a time.

In fact, all “the apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people” (Acts 5:12, NIV). Their prison doors were miraculously opened. They praised God, and earthquakes shook the ground. They spoke in unknown spiritual languages. They cast out demons. They healed the sick. They raised the dead. They accurately predicted future events. They rejoiced in persecution and willingly sacrificed their lives for Christ, confident of the resurrection to come.

If all of these incredible feats were relegated to a bygone time, it might be easy for some to write them off as ancient myths or fairy tales. But these supernatural abilities are still operative today. In my own life and the lives of others, I have witnessed countless examples of miracles, signs, and wonders. I have seen people healed, demons cast out, and future events foretold. I have experienced visions, dreams, and powerful encounters with God Almighty. I have seen lives radically transformed by the power of God.

On one occasion, following a visit to a heart specialist, I received an unexpected report: my heart had undergone what my doctor deemed its own bypass surgery, marking me as a medical mystery. I attribute this unexplained healing to the supernatural power of God. Through learning to access Christ as a Healer, I have experienced divine intervention in my health for several years—including healing a degenerating disc, averting recommended back surgery, and overcoming conditions like high blood pressure.

In another instance, the Lord guided me to sell a church facility and build a new one, promising a doubling in the size of the congregation if I followed these instructions. Obediently, we sold our church property, temporarily leasing facilities for approximately two years, and we witnessed our ministry double before dedicating our new church edifice—a testament to the miraculous power of God.

Recently, we witnessed God bring healing to a baby who was diagnosed with a fetal intracranial hemorrhage. The married couple was expecting a son, due September 24, 2023. At 20 weeks into the pregnancy, an ultrasound revealed a mildly enlarged ventricle in the brain. On May 2, a follow-up ultrasound showed severe bleeding/blood on the left side of the brain (a level 4 out of 4), mild bleeding/blood on the right side of the brain, as well as a slight malformation of some facial features. At a follow-up appointment with the University of Michigan on May 10, the same findings were confirmed, along with potential deterioration of some of the brain (given the blood).

The diagnosis was a fetal intracranial hemorrhage (essentially a stroke in the womb). The doctors were unsure what caused this, as the mother was very healthy and had a complication-free pregnancy prior to this one. Given the severity of the bleeding, the doctors expected the child to have severe physical and mental challenges, in the rare event that he survived. Due to this, the doctors advised the couple to abort the child.

Hearing this news, the couple reached out to us for support. Following prayer, the Lord directed us not to terminate the pregnancy but instead to prophesy into the situation, make divine declarations, rebuke the evil one, and release gifts of healing. Our local assembly has multiple Kingdom Order of Ascension Gifts (KOAG) teams trained in redemptive justice practice and dedicated to redemptive casework, and one of our KOAG teams (along with myself) diligently worked on this case until its completion. Ultimately, the baby was born without any complications, demonstrating the healing power of God at work.

Throughout my journey, the Lord has brought physical healing, inner healing, and deliverance to many, along with family healing. Additionally, prophetic insights have revealed the future, guiding me in unpopular yet divinely inspired actions. Despite initial challenges, these commands showcased the foresight, brilliance, and power of God as the outcomes unfolded.

The complexities and challenges of our day are putting an intense demand on the people of God to authentically manifest His power like never before. The world is headed into some uncharted territory, and we must fully embrace supernatural enhancement in Christ if we are to effectively represent God and testify to our generation. I hope your appetite is heightened for this kind of enhancement. This chapter is designed to help you experience it for yourself. It all starts with identifying with Christ and experiencing authentic spiritual growth.

Authentic Spiritual Growth

God’s plan was always to rule the earth through His image. Humanity was originally made in the image of God and after His likeness, but after the Fall in the Garden, that image was marred. Thankfully, the eternal Word became flesh, and Christ Himself was manifested as “the image of the invisible God” to restore that image in the earth (Colossians 1:15, NIV). In light of this, authentic spiritual growth is the process by which the spiritual life is developed into the image of Christ—the perfect human blueprint. From God’s vantage point, becoming an enhanced human being involves experiencing personal evolution in Christ.

Once again, the more we see Christ, the more we are transformed into His image and the more power we have to embrace our enhanced humanity. For as we behold Him, we are being “transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another” (2 Corinthians 3:18, ESV), and “in him we live, and move, and have our being” (Acts 17:28, KJV).

The process of spiritual growth starts with conception—the new birth experience. When we place our faith in Christ and receive His Holy Spirit, we are “born again,” and we become recipients of the divine nature (see 2 Peter 1:2-4). We are born from above with divine DNA, and the “new nature” of Christ is activated within us. Then, with proper care, we eventually grow and develop into a state of full maturation in Christ.

Some of the byproducts of authentic spiritual growth include the following:

Discovering one’s true self

Ascertaining one’s reason for being

Bringing one’s God-ordained purpose to pass

Spiritual growth is as natural as physical growth, and at the most fundamental level, it involves some basic, intuitive practices. Just as our physical bodies thrive based on the quality of our diet, exercise, rest, and overall health, our spirits thrive based on corresponding components:

Spiritual diet

Spiritual exercise

Spiritual rest

Spiritual health

We must consider each of these factors if we are to become the enhanced humanity in Christ that God is envisioning. What are we consuming spiritually? How are we exercising our spirits and putting our faith into practice? Are we spending enough time resting our spirits in Christ? What is the overall condition of our spirits?

The journey of spiritual growth in Christ is experienced in seven stages:

15 Decrees to Purge Demonic Influence from America: How to Intercede for This Season

God has chosen us as the necessary link to bring His will from Heaven to earth.

He wants us to commune with Him, listen carefully to His voice, gain prophetic revelation, and decree that revelation into the earth. This will unlock miracles and release His blessings. Once we hear God, we can intercede, but we can also prophesy. Prophesying is declaring His mind and His heart. As we speak, He forms His will on earth. We should always be willing to say, “Yes and amen” to His promises. When we receive prophetic revelation, we need to decree the prophetic revelation. This was the pattern that we operated in, once we gathered together in our meetings from state to state.

I will declare the decree: the Lord has said to Me… (Psalm 2:7 NKJV).

You will make your prayer to Him, and He will hear you, and you will pay your vows. You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways. When they make [you] low, you will say, [There is] a lifting up; and the humble person He lifts up and saves. He will even deliver the one [ for whom you intercede] who is not innocent; yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands (Job 22:27-30 AMPC).

Then He saw wisdom and declared it; He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out (Job 28:27 NKJV).

A decree is an official order, edict, or decision. A decree is something that seems to be foreordained. This is what makes decrees prophetic. Decree can also mean to order, decide, or officially appoint a group or person to accomplish something. A decree is linked with setting apart or ordaining something or someone. A declaration is an announcement, a formal statement, or a proclamation. This statement sometimes is what a plaintiff releases in his complaint, which results in a court action. A proclamation actually brings something into a more official realm. A proclamation can ban, outlaw, or restrict. This is linked with the process of binding and loosing.

Once we hear the word of the Lord decreed, declared, or proclaimed, God begins to establish this word in the earth realm. This causes God’s people to press in for a full manifestation of what He is longing to accomplish in our midst. All through the Word of God you find decrees, declarations, and proclamations. Cyrus sent out a decree that caused God’s people to return from captivity and rebuild the city of Jerusalem and the temple of God. Caesar sent out a decree that positioned Mary and Joseph in the place where prophecy could be fulfilled through the birth of Jesus. Elijah declared that the heavens would be shut up. The priests proclaimed what God was ordaining.

As Dutch and I traveled to each state, we knew that this was our mandate. We were assured by the Spirit that God had a unique “word” for each state.

We are in a time of prophetic declaration and apostolic proclamation. God’s people are becoming bold to say what He is saying. This creates an open Heaven and brings Heaven and earth into agreement. I call this an open portal or door in Heaven. In Restoring Your Shield of Faith, Robert Heidler and I write:

Revelation is a book that provides deep insight into the nature and tactics of the enemy. In the book of Revelation the apostle John had a supernatural visitation during an extreme time of persecution. In the midst of this persecution, he began to see that the Lord God omnipotent reigns! He seemed to agree with Paul that those who would follow the Lord in their daily life would enter into and be involved in continuing spiritual conflict. As the Lord visited John, He gave him a message concerning the seven key churches of that region. This message also reveals to us God’s heart concerning the Church today.

We then find John sharing with us in Revelation 4:1 the following: “After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, ‘Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.’” This open heaven causes our faith to soar.

Faith overcomes! The shield of faith is closely related to the concept of a door—the Greek name being thureos, from thura, a square shield that can also be seen as a door. A door is an opening for entering or leaving a house, tent or room. The door is used symbolically in the Bible in many ways. We find the Valley of Achor, a place of trouble (see Josh. 7:26), is later promised as “a door of hope” (Hos. 2:15). It will become a reason for God’s people to trust Him again. Our trouble can be turned into an entry point into a new place of victory.

Jesus called Himself “the Door” (John 10:7,9). Faith in Him is the only way to enter the kingdom of God. God gave to the Gentiles “the door of faith” (Acts 14:27), or an opportunity to know Him as Lord. Jesus stands at the door and knocks (see Rev. 3:20). He calls all people to Himself, but He will not enter without permission. We need to give the Lord permission to take us through new, opportune doors and allow Him to come in and give us the power to go through these doors. Let us open the door of our heart so that we can go through our new door of opportunity.

Paul constantly sought new doors of service! These were open doors for him to go through so that he could minister in the name of Jesus Christ. First Corinthians 16:9 reads, “For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.” There are many doors of opportunity ahead for each one of us. However, the adversaries behind those doors will overtake us unless our door of faith is in place.

Let us lift up our shield, or door, of faith. We do not need to be afraid to go through the opening and into the new places to which the Lord would lead us. Even though many adversaries will be on our path in days ahead, our shield of faith will quench all of their fiery darts. Jeremiah 46:3 (NIV) is encouraging: “Prepare your shields, both large and small, and march out for battle!” Let us go forth with confidence, with our shield lifted high, and our victory will be assured.

The following are a few declarations that we made during the 50-State Tour. It will benefit you to make these declarations in your life, over the Church of your city, your state, your region, and this nation.

The river is changing courses! Ready yourself for the next war ahead! Don’t remain in your last war cycle. Make sure you are allowing or causing or choosing for the old to end! Deal with all of your dangerous emotions so they will not present great challenges to you in the future. Let’s move into our next phase of victory!

Receive a new anointing…for victory over death cycles and the fear of death…for victory over demonic forces that would try to stop you in the future…for increase and harvest so you begin to fill His storehouse…and for an Issachar anointing to interpret the times so you know what decisions to make.

When the enemy encircles you, declare you will find security in the Lord. The enemy will attempt to surround you, so be sure to develop your shields of protection. Musk Oxen form a circle around a cow that is giving birth. This provides protection so the next generation can come forth. To intercessors and prayer groups, you must be like the Musk Ox in your region.

Be surrounded and sealed by the Holy Spirit. Develop a new level of discernment through worship. Reality is produced when we worship in Word (Truth) and Spirit. End old cycles. Do not cycle through your wilderness again. Break the cycle of Mount Sinai. (Don’t go around that mountain again!) Head toward and up Mount Zion. In the face of your enemy, violently praise! Let praise bind the strongman and then plunder, take, and repossess your spoils.

Let the Lord take His compass and drop His plumbline in your midst. Allow Him to set a new direction and chart your course for the future (see 1 Corinthians 16:5-18).

Do not fear; go up against what has seemed to be invincible in your past (see Joshua 5–7).

Let His supernatural love overwhelm and encompass you. This will release a dimension of compassion that the Church has lost. This will cause the healing mantle to be restored back to the Church. This will open the door for prodigals to return (see Matthew 9; Luke 15).

Review your boundaries. This is a season of divine commandments. The Lord will be restructuring our boundaries so the law can be fulfilled in our hearts. This will allow us to take back ground from the enemy who has shifted laws and time (see Daniel 7).

Come full circle. The Lord will give you a second chance to confront and deal with that thing that defeated you in the last season!…or you will go around that same mountain again.

This is a season of the Spirit supernaturally rekindling the power gifts. The war will take a supernatural turn. Example: There is a fine line between word of knowledge and ESP (see 1 Corinthians 12,14). On the Tour, we asked the Lord to release His gifts in the Body of Christ in our nation.

Ask the Lord to bring forth new revelation from the pulpit of your region. Supernatural teaching will defy religion. The Lord will reveal a different dimension of the Word to expound upon (see Mark 2).

Ask the Lord to bring forth a new expression of worship. Be expressive in praise and rejoice in the midst of your battles. Do not hide your emotions (see 2 Chronicles 20). The roar of the Lion of Judah will win your battles!

Declare the generations will connect and war together (see Isaiah 59:15-21). The word generation is linked with circle (see Esther 9).

This is a time to plunder. Read Exodus 3–12. (The Future War of the Church explains dethroning the gods of Egypt.) First Samuel 30 shows how David gained control of his emotions and recovered his loss.

Gain new prayer strategies, prepare the way, and expect victory (see 2 Kings 3)! Do not let the enemy’s retaliation cause you to back up.

Worship and sound are important. Throw open the window and receive the sound of the Lord! Let the Wind bring the sound that you need through your window. Your conscience is like a window between soul and spirit. Make sure nothing is clouding your conscience. Open your mouth and release the shout of victory! This is the season of confession and decree. What we say now determines our future. If we will cleanse our conscience, then the revelation that has not been able to influence our minds will find entrance. Though the enemy is roaming like a mighty lion seeking whom he may destroy, there is a roar in you to be released at this time. This roar will defy the enemy. Go past that which seems invincible in your life. Get in the river of change that is flowing by your door and let it take you to your next place. Get a shield of protection around you and birth the new that the Lord has for you. Your latter end (future) will be greater than your beginning.

Spiritual Warfare Exposed: The Counterfeit Battles that Threaten Real Victory!

In 1982, a great outpouring of the Spirit came to San Jose, California.

Many thousands were impacted in a meeting that was originally scheduled for four nights but exploded into 22 weeks.

There were nights of such glory that man’s program was unceremoniously dumped by a tidal wave of God’s love flooding hungry souls.

Key truths surfaced in that visitation. One was that the passivity of the church must be cured. Militancy born of the Spirit was a clear feature of these Christians in the Silicon Valley. Spiritual warfare, a long-neglected area, was being restored to a huge number of God’s people.

Simultaneous with the days of power in San Jose, other sections of America were being visited in both spiritual life and the renewed sense of warfare.

During the revival, one night I stood to preach at Calvary Community Church when the Spirit warned me of a coming counterfeit to true spiritual warfare.

I solemnly warned the people that spiritual warfare could become a fad. I had no idea how much worse the abuses would be than what I had described.

The most disturbing aspect of this spiritual warfare fad is a trivial view of Satan. We dare not view him as a cartoon character who will flee because of some nifty phrase we shout.

Exotic procedures and extra-scriptural tactics are spouted effortlessly. Take, for example, the theory (which is not to be found in Scripture) that after you discover the name of the regional demon that controls your area, you must then go to where the evil spirit revealed his stronghold and yell at him. Others began telling churches that they needed to receive their “warfare tongue.”

Still others leased a jet to circle over Southern California to break the “power of the air.” They called it “clearing the air.”

A book by a California pastor claimed that this warfare-type prayer had “cleared the skies” over Dallas. Tragically, by the end of that same year Dallas had more policemen shot and killed than any city in America.

This sad illustration is only one disturbing example of a seriously mistaken view of real victory over Satan.

If our view of the world is from the ease and insulation of the sanctuary, we can be totally blind and bereft of true authority, true spiritual strategies and impact.

Chuck Girard, Dottie McGuire, and Reba Rambo have written true battle hymns for the church; but too many Charismatic centers now feast on a series of “Devil, you’re a punk and we’re going to get you” choruses, and actually make this their total worship.

Some can get so hyped up about the devil that when a pure worship chorus (one that exalts the Lord and doesn’t mention Satan) is sung, they actually feel let down.

Yet this is not a new phenomenon. Even Pentecostal reformer Martin Luther was caught up in exalting the devil. In the well-known hymn A Mighty Fortress is Our God, he wrote: “For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; his craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal”—implying that Jesus is not on earth?

The true spiritual giants of history revealed their mettle by being the blazing conscience of a community. They pressed the battle where it really mattered, and abolished the works of darkness that cleaned up cities. To them we would look like silly children with Styrofoam swords.

Where is the proof of all this alleged damage we’ve supposedly done to Satan? How dare we pass off arrogant posturing and “war games” as true spiritual authority!

There is no mystery to why personal holiness is not a priority to these weekend warriors. They have bought into the lie that authority is confessed based on our justification in Christ, when in fact, authority over Satan is imparted to the vessel who has proven character.

Real Victory from Real Authority

While we recognize one war in the spiritual world, the Bible speaks of three: (1) our flesh; (2) the world; and (3) satanic power. We must obtain victory on all three fronts, not just one. To lose in one area is to lose in every area.

Certain purveyors of spiritual warfare can totally neglect their souls because they don’t recognize the war between self and Christ. You can’t win against Satan until you win against the un-Christlike attitudes that freely infect us.

Self is a forgotten foe in Charisma. While we scream about nebulous attacks on the works of darkness, that villainous spy works unhindered. While some boast of great victories, the fact of their actual defeat is evident daily in coarse joking, sporadic hard drinking, lifestyle addiction, divorce, and selfish ambition disguised as vision.

If we have not won in the arena of self and have not conquered the encroachments of the world, we dare not mess with Satan.

If Satan wanted to, he could effortlessly penetrate the Reynolds Wrap armor and Mattel toy weapons that so many are relying on. In a real satanic assault, they would be sent running for their lives like the sons of Sceva, who thought exorcism was a game.

The fact that Satan hasn’t openly attacked has to do with a deeper evil! While he might relish exposing the fantasy might of these believers, he gains more by letting thousands stomp, kick, scream, and carry on, harmlessly distracted from the real work of God.

In Acts 8, Philip the evangelist settled the question of how to win a city once and for all.

The “New Age” village he entered boasted a great sorcerer who had amazed from the least to the greatest. Philip didn’t search for the ruling demon’s name; he proclaimed the name that is above all names—Jesus!

Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ there. When the crowds heard Philip and saw the miraculous signs he did, they all paid close attention to what he said. With shrieks, evil spirits came out of many, and many paralytics and cripples were healed. So there was great joy in that city (see Acts 8:5-8).

Proclaiming Christ broke demonic power. The weapon of choice, was, is, and always will be the gospel thrust forth by a vessel fully armed, who has victory on all three fronts. Like David, they killed the lion of their flesh and the bear of the world before they ventured out to face Goliath, the giant.

To get Charisma from the playground to the battleground will not be an easy task. But the fantasy is wearing thin and many believers are asking disturbing questions about the “spiritual pep rallies” they have attended.

The shouts of superiority over the devil have not translated into real victory in daily life. Moreover, they, unlike some “state-of-the-art” preachers, live in a real world where violence is increasing, abortion abounds, and immorality is overwhelming.

It is time to discard the hollow boast of “Honey, I shrunk the devil,” and ask God to restore us to the path of real victory, real authority. We can’t say, “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal” if they are!

We can’t say, “They are mighty to the tearing down of strongholds” if the weapons we use can’t tear down strongholds.

And we dare not then ask for the weapons of God. The first target for those weapons will be the strongholds of self, which they will home in on and blow down, long before any thought is given to “territorial spirits” in your city.

Even Jesus took care to cover this first, saying that Satan is coming, but “he has nothing in Me” (John 14:30 NKJV).

Just as in every previous kind of extreme in the Charismatic Movement, this one will also have its victims. People’s faith will be shipwrecked by this naïve approach to a very real war.

The Bible Foretold This Abuse

The Bible warns of this arrogance in Jude. First, it foretells the blustery boasts of misguided preachers:

For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ (Jude 4 NKJV).

Then he exposes their carnal agendas, referring to their derisive language toward Satan:

Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries. Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” (Jude 8-9 NKJV)

An entire generation cursed those leaders during the war in Vietnam who had underestimated the enemy and needlessly sent many thousands of our young men to early graves.

How will we look back on the frivolous teachers of this moment who claimed to arm people, only to find that Satan will ask, “Jesus I know; Paul I know, but who are you?” (See Acts 19:15.)

As Arthur Mathews said, “For every provocation against God’s cause, there is a provision for victory.”

There remains for us then, a victory in the real war, and God longs to reveal it. We can be “known in hell.” But it comes through authentic prayer from a heart broken to stop evil, a heart that seeks fresh fire.

Deliverance by the Holy Spirit: How to Break Demonic Bondage with Prophetic Accuracy

“The Holy Spirit is a healing spirit. When the Holy Spirit is present, anything is possible.” —Reinhard Bonnke

I led a team of deliverance ministers on an assignment in Georgia several years ago.

The assignment was to train an advanced deliverance school by equipping leaders across the state to begin building deliverance teams in their churches and areas. The school was outstanding, and many people received great freedom. Typically, we would offer a question-and-answer session following each ministry session or lesson. The number-one question we would get asked is, “How do we know what demon, curse, or infirmity we are dealing with if the client does not know?” This question came as the students watched my team flow in ministry and prophetically address demons and infirmities that the client was unaware of, which resonated deeply within their spirits. Our answer was always the same. “You must first rest in the Holy Spirit and always listen to His direction. Anything else is the result of the flesh.”

“It is important to discern the difference between acts of the understanding and those of the will. Understanding with the mind is of little value. The intent of the heart is all important. We should concern ourselves only with loving and delighting ourselves in God.” —Brother Lawrence

Proverbs 4:7 tells us to get wisdom, but at all costs, get understanding. There is great wisdom in praying for people and seeing captives set free. There is great wisdom in forgiveness, inner healing, and breaking generational curses. But all of those practiced without the understanding granted only by the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit are simply good sounding words.

Hosting the glory of His presence establishes the atmosphere for His divine wisdom and understanding. As the Scripture says, there is a cost in gaining understanding. What is the price we pay? The immeasurable time in His presence opens doors, breaks barriers, drives out demons, breaks curses, and sets the captives free.

Have you ever said, “I struggle to find even fifteen minutes for prayer daily”? Or perhaps, “I find it hard to pray for as long as I should.” These are not excuses; they are shining a spotlight on the one deficiency you have in your relationship with Jesus. Try to recall an event where you sat at a table with strangers. You try to have a conversation but realize that because you don’t really know these people, relatability is challenging outside of time spent together. So, generally, small talk wins the moment and saves everyone from the uncomfortable, socially unacceptable awkwardness of public silence.

Now recall an event where you were with a group of your peers or friends. You’ve known these people for a long time and have experienced many good times together. The conversation flows naturally from a place of knowing. Each of you understands the other, and the conversation comes easy because the breadbasket of friendship has been filled. The presence of God operates on this same principle. Those who have not first rested in His presence are the ones who uncomfortably sit in their prayer time with nothing but small talk to get them by.

This entire book is based upon Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Those who have rested in the presence of God have developed the mind of Christ and have, over time, come to truly know the Holy Spirit’s presence, personality, nuances, and even His humor. Perhaps the reason why praying poses a challenge to some individuals is due to the insufficient fostering of their relationship with the Holy Spirit.

If this resonates with you in any way, I urge you to be silent and still. The Lord will speak from that stillness, enabling you to develop a profound relationship with your King. Explore a fresh approach to connecting with God that allows you to let go of the pressure to pray for an extended period. Remove that clock, and give Him your silence. Soon, you will find your relationship blooming with depth and understanding. From that understanding comes the most incredible wisdom direct from the throne room of Heaven.

I was attending a conference of the International Freedom Group in Colorado alongside many prominent deliverance ministers. Pasqual Urrabazo always ministers powerfully and under the great anointing of the Holy Spirit. As is typical during deliverance conferences, space is given for God to move and for deliverance to break out in the meeting. As ministry began to occur among the people, Pasquale could be heard saying, “Take a deep breath, and release it. One of the ways demons come out is by the breath.” As soon as the person he spoke to obeyed, the demon released its grip, and the person was free. While this example is not directly related to meditation per se, this demonstration highlights the principle addressed earlier in this book that in partnership with the Holy Spirit, the Ruach breath of God brings healing.

I Can’t Hear God’s Voice

That was where we were stuck. I will refer to this person as Sally. As we were ministering deliverance over her, it was revealed that she was dealing with a spiritual blockage. She said, “I can’t hear God’s voice anymore.” Having lived her life for the last several years in the quiet, she has been unable to truly connect with the voice of God. It had been was that it brought her closer to her Creator and Father through a restored relationship. Sally now has the freedom and understanding to nurture her rekindled relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Sally’s story does not represent a singular event. I am so confident that the Holy Spirit will speak that I set an expectation with every client that they will experience the voice of the Lord during each session. The Holy Spirit has always been gracious to meet us when we honor Him and faithfully host His presence.

“When honor is given it unlocks our heavenly Father’s glory. What a beautiful world our honoring words and actions can create.” —Rebecca Greenwood, Glory Warfare

Inner Healing

They all got into a boat and began to cross over to the other side of the lake. And Jesus, exhausted, fell asleep. Suddenly a violent storm developed, with waves so high the boat was about to be swamped. Yet Jesus continued to sleep soundly. The disciples woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We’re going to die!” But Jesus reprimanded them. “Why are you gripped with fear? Where is your faith?” Then he stood up and rebuked the storm and said, “Be still!” And instantly it became perfectly calm (Matthew 8:23-26 TPT).

“I am” are the words the Lord spoke to me as I meditated in His presence. I had asked Him for direction concerning the application of meditation to the ministry of inner healing. “I am,” was all He said to me. This is to say He exists everywhere, He is present in all time, and He is the personification of abiding. Then I was given a vision of Jesus sleeping as the boat He was on was caught in the storm. I used to believe that Jesus must have been below deck lying on a comfort- able bed, and the waves may have lulled Him to sleep. But the Bible mentions nothing about the boat having a cabin or room beneath the deck. According to Mark’s account in chapter 4, verse 38, Jesus was on the stern of the boat when He fell asleep. When the disciples approached Him during the storm, we are told that Jesus stood up and rebuked the storm. Jesus was not below deck, aloof to His surroundings. He was in the midst of it, likely being pummeled along with everyone else. Yet He was at peace, resting from His exhaustion. When Jesus rebuked the storm, He said, “Be still,” and the waters were immediately calm from obedience.

What does this tell us about inner healing? First, Jesus is our Anchor, and He is the Foundation on which everything else is built. Jesus’s presence will always calm the storm, bringing healing and restoration to the tumult and trauma of life. Bringing the presence of God into your moments of pain and grief always calms the storm and opens the door for Him to reveal and heal any trauma, wound, or pain.

When the disciples approached Jesus, they were distraught and incredulous toward Jesus. They acted as though the answer to their problem was ignoring the situation. In truth, Jesus taught them and us a valuable lesson that day. In the midst of our storms, He is present. In the midst of our chaos, He is here, and in the midst of our pain, He is waiting for us to come to the place of rest with Him on the stern of the boat and let Him remove the trauma, pain, and chaos from our hearts.

The stern of a boat holds significance as this is the place commonly used for lounging, resting, and sitting. But more importantly, this is the location from which the boat is steered and controlled. Jesus was in the very seat of control He needed to be in at that moment. He was modeling the principle for us that when we rest in Him, He will partner with us to command our storms to “be still” and provide direction through the chaos.

From that lesson comes the practice of inner healing. It is almost too simple and a process that can be done at any time in the privacy of your prayer room. As discussed, the process begins with deep Ruach breaths through the nose. Invite the Holy Spirit and say, “Holy Spirit, thank You for Your presence; You are welcome here. You are welcome in my mind, and my trauma, and my memories. Would You show me an area You would like to heal today?”

Perhaps you already have a moment that you would like the Holy Spirit to heal. Trust Him, and let Him take you to the area He directs. He might directly address the moment on your mind, but be obedient and go with Him wherever He leads. A deeper connection is likely to exist, possibly one of which you are unaware. Do not relive the memory or ask Jesus to join you in the memory. He is already present with you on the stern of the boat.

Ask the Holy Spirit what He wants to reveal about this moment. He will uncover any lies that have crept in and taken residence in your heart. Are there any people involved in this moment that require forgiveness? Now is the time to forgive and unlink yourself from the pain of the moment. Forgiveness allows the Holy Spirit to come in and replace the lies with truth. Once the Holy Spirit has uncovered the lie you believed in the moment of trauma, ask Him, what is the truth? Allow Him to gently reveal the truth as He removes the lie and heals the pain of the wound. Healing begins and concludes with an understanding of I AM. The understanding comes when we partner with Him in the stillness, intentionally quieting our mind and inviting Him into the darkest areas to shine brightly.

7 Signs of the Antichrist: These Things Herald the Rise of the Beast

There are more than one hundred passages in Scripture that describe the antichrist.

There are less than fifty about Adam. Again and again, God gives explicit details about who this man of mystery is—without, of course, identifying him by name. His characteristics, his intention, and his agenda are obvious, but much of the Church, like an ostrich, sticks its head in the sand and tries to ignore the eventuality of his appearing. I don’t say this to scare you, but to prepare you. I don’t want to make you anxious, but I want to make you aware. We must watch and pray. Being prepared, being aware, watching and praying will bring us the peace and hope that God has for us individually and for the Church as a whole. John, from his first letter, says it this way:

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:1-3 KJV).

The Church has often assumed that the he John is referring to is the devil, but that is not entirely correct. The he John has in mind is the spirit of antichrist. Understand that there is a man who is coming who will be possessed by the devil, a master of the occult—indeed, of all the satanic arts. He may be an atheist, an agnostic, or what is more likely, he may act as though he is a deeply religious person. (He undoubtedly will be, but not in the manner that most people think of religion.)

He will be quick to pervert everything that comes under his influence.

He will be involved in every sin imaginable while acting like a model citizen.

He will deceive many.

That man is coming, but before he appears, John tells us very plainly that the antichrist spirit “is already in the world.” John also gives us some specific markers by which we can identify that spirit.

It will deny that Jesus came in the flesh by means of the virgin birth.

It will deny the relationship between Jesus and the Father.

It will deny the reality of the Trinity.

It will deny that Jesus is God.

You may be wondering how people can give any measure of credibility to a person who pretends to be religious yet who denies what seem to be obvious truths about God. How is it possible that he wins the unstinting allegiance of multitudes when what he is advocating is so blatantly false?

One reason is that so many, even among those who claim to be believers, are unfamiliar with basic Bible doctrines. They are strangers to the Bible themselves, and can we blame them? They never heard the truths of the Word of God from the pulpit either because the preacher was preoccupied with more important issues or he was terrified to touch on it himself.

People are becoming numb to Gospel Truth. They have heard so many diverging arguments regarding God or the Bible on social media that they essentially have stopped listening. When someone comes along and presents them with a candy-coated gospel while offering to drink a beer or smoke weed with them, they are ready to get on board regardless of what the leader is saying, and no matter how outrageous it may seem.

Another reason for the success of the antichrist’s advent is his skillful and selective use of propaganda as a tool of persuasion. Do you think social media outlets have become adept at manipulating data to promote certain narratives and discredit others? Wait until the antichrist harnesses the power of advanced AI capabilities to control what you hear. He will make all past and current efforts at media manipulation look like child’s play.

The Herald of the Antichrist’s Coming

Perhaps the greatest factor that leads to the antichrist’s acceptance is the spirit of antichrist that is preparing the way for him. John the Baptist was the herald of Christ’s coming. The antichrist will also have a clever and capable master of information manipulation who will twist his lies into a semblance of the truth. This character is identified as the false prophet in Revelation 19:20. He will make Joseph Goebbels, Valenti Beria, and Mao’s misinformation minions look like rank amateurs in comparison. The worldview he will sell people is social- ism. It will not be a difficult task for many, since they have already succumbed to the siren song of socialist doctrine. They will need little persuasion since what the antichrist will offer them is something they have already bought into. They don’t realize that it is a deal with the devil, and their part of the wager is their eternal soul.

Please don’t think that I am saying that because socialism will be a major factor in preparing the way for the antichrist’s advent that capitalism is the only economic system that is of God. God’s ways are not man’s ways. What God has in mind for the earth is neither capitalism nor socialism, but an economic system designed by the One who created it and ultimately owns it all.

What I am saying is that socialism has a fundamental flaw that makes it unworkable when it comes to equal outcomes for human beings. It is this: a foundational premise of socialism is that man is essentially good. The only things that are blocking man’s continuing quest for perfection are inequities in the human condition caused by the lust for money and power. All men need to do to experience perfection is to give all their money and power to the state, so that the state can distribute resources equitably to all.

When anyone has the temerity to remind the current crop of socialists that their preferred worldview has a terrible track record of mayhem, disaster, and blood, they are undaunted in their quest for utopia. They claim that the benighted despots of the past did not have the advantages available to us in the 21st century. Now, they say, we can do socialism the way it is supposed to be done, and success will be inevitable. In the meantime, if a few million people die, that is a small price to pay for saving the planet. They maintain that there are too many useless eaters anyway. This is the current position of the World Economic Forum and its false prophet, Yuval Noah Harari. They are maneuvering to take hold of the levers of power, and America’s leaders seem to be falling in line.

I understand that there is more to socialist doctrine than this, but I am emphasizing the aspect of socialism that requires men to believe that they are basically good and capable of perfection as a result of their own effort. This is a lie that is conclusively refuted by the testimony of human history, the clear record of the Bible, and the perfect plan of redemption.

This idea of men achieving perfection by submission to the all-powerful, benevolent state qualifies socialism to be a main tenet of the antichrist’s doctrine, since he will seek to control the apparatus of power, and he will eventually become the personification of the state. If people are already conditioned to submit to the state, that will make his job much easier, since less persuasion or coercion will be required for them to give their allegiance to him.

Socialist doctrines and dogma are advancing all around us. It seems that every day’s headlines bring us another outrageous proposal or policy that would have been laughed to scorn or mercilessly mocked a generation or even a decade ago. Now they seem to be standard operating procedure in many places. This is not a right or left issue or a matter of adherence to a political party. The conflict goes much deeper than that. It involves an ongoing and intensifying battle for the souls of men.

The antichrist spirit is better known for what it denies than for what it advocates. As I mentioned earlier, this spirit will deny the virgin birth, which we must believe to be saved. It denies the relationship between the Father and Jesus, as well as the person of the Holy Spirit, attacking the Trinity as an unworkable concept, since it cannot be understood by the rational mind. It will deny that Jesus is God. The antichrist spirit may give Jesus credit for being a good man or a prophet, but it denies Him as the only substitute for the sin of man. The antichrist spirit loves religion but has a problem with Jesus Christ. Remember, this spirit wants to either remove Jesus or replace Jesus.

This is what Paul was talking about in 1 Corinthians 15. He writes of fighting a wild beast at Ephesus. He was never thrown into an arena where he fought actual beasts. He was referring to the antichrist spirit. He said he fought the beast in Ephesus, and there he saw a mighty revival.

Today, you are fighting the beast in your daily life. You feel the pressure and the stress on your family, in your finances, in your relationships, and in your ability to witness your faith. In addition to all the natural circumstances that come against you, there is an antichrist spirit that opposes your efforts to succeed in fulfilling your God-given purpose.

Second Thessalonians was written by the great apostle Paul to the church of Thessalonica. The occasion of his letter to them was that he got word that they had received a letter as though it was written by him. Someone had forged a letter, signed it from Paul, and sent it to them. (Having an account hacked is not a recent phenomenon.) The letter told them, among other things, that they had missed the blessed hope and catching away of the saints. He wrote to reassure them and to remind them of what he had told them when he was personally present with them. The Book of 2 Thessalonians also contains an urgent emphasis on the last days, and it warned the Church to beware of those who had doctrines different from Paul’s on that subject. Here is one important passage:

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him. That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be trou- bled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders (2 Thessalonians 2:1-9 KJV).

The apostle Paul shows us that the antichrist is constantly trying to emerge on the world scene. However, there is a restraining force that is hindering the antichrist from being revealed and taking his place of power. That restraining force is the Holy Ghost-filled, fire-baptized Church of Jesus Christ. The Spirit of God within you is a restraining force holding back the plague, holding back the pestilence, holding back the depression, holding back the divorce, holding back the complete collapse of the economy, and so much more. You are the restrainer through the power of the Holy Spirit. You are pushing back against the antichrist spirit—and no weapon formed against you will prosper.

The only antidote to the spirit of antichrist is the real Christ within you, who is the hope of glory. Through the Spirit of God, you are empowered to proclaim the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ everywhere you go. Your influence in your family, your home, your community, and your workplace are all impediments that make it impossible for the antichrist to enact his agenda as long as you are on the earth. You are still here, and that is why he is not here—yet.

You are the antichrist’s worst nightmare!

Seeking God’s Peace in Chaos

Originally posted on Cherished Her.

Let me paint a picture for you. 

The sun touches your skin like a warm blanket. The wind blows kisses of daisies and tulips. The grass invites you as snow demands a snow angel. You find yourself sitting, waiting, peaceful. You turn to your left and see them walking towards you. You feel safe. The curve of your lip rises as joy surprises you. You stand to rush and embrace them. The blades of grass still remain. The surroundings stand still in time. Nothing else matters. You are happy. You are home. 

There is a picture each of us imagine when we think of heaven. When we think of our first encounter with Jesus. Maybe you think of running and giving him a big hug. Or maybe you believe you will simply fall at his feet in worship. Or, maybe you have thought of skipping in a field with the biggest smile on your face. Free. Pure joy. Complete peace. 

Lately I have been searching for that peace. Struggling to find a way past my aching anxiety and crippling thoughts. 

Many say Junior year of college is the most mentally and academically challenging. Being someone who loves learning new things and school in general, I had it rooted in my mind that there was nothing I couldn’t handle. I had already finished two years of college. How much harder could my third be? 

I am humbly admitting that I was wrong. This has been my most mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and academically challenging years. I have never found myself struggling for air more in my life. I try to “act” joyfully but always end up feeling emptier. 

I have cried more these past few months about life than I thought was even possible. I feel weighed down with no room to make a choice for myself. 

I transferred to Messiah University to be an athlete, and now I am struggling to find joy as a runner. I have always gotten good grades, but now I am fearful that I may get multiple bad grades. I love my job and the work I do but I never have time for it. I am not able to do good work because I have so many responsibilities. I feel like everything around me is spinning. Failing. Changing. And while all of that is happening I am tired. Stressed. Lonely. 

I find myself seeking the next thing. Seeking arbitrary numbers. Good grades. Fast times in my races. Things that do not define me and will never fully satisfy me. Things that always leave me wanting more.

Do you feel that weight?

Maybe it’s your job. Maybe you feel burnt out from being busy all the time. Maybe you’re in highschool or college and trying to navigate time for friends and time for school. Or maybe you are a constant worrier. It’s a hard balance to maintain. But we were not created to maintain it on our own. Psalm 55:22 says “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.”

God is waiting for you to cast your burdens on him. He is not going anywhere. He is accessible always, not just once we get to heaven. Psalm 18:2 says “The Lord is my solid rock, my fortress, my rescuer! My God is my rock—I take refuge in him!—he’s my shield, my salvation’s strength, my place of safety.”

He is fully alive in you. Don’t believe that you will never find full peace, joy and comfort until you are in heaven. Don’t just fully focus on that painted picture. Ironic right? I tell you a beautiful story of how Peace may look and feel one day in heaven and then tell you not to focus on it. I did so to drive home this point. 

Yes, God has prepared a beautiful place for eternity. But, God also created a beautiful you for today. 

For this life you are living right now. And he is right there with you, even if you are feeling like everything around you is failing. 

God is unchanging. He can and will fully and completely satisfy you. He brings fullness and wholeness and complete peace in this life right now as he intended it to be. 

We can find comfort and reassurance in his words even when everything seems to be going wrong. 

In Psalm 23:4 it says “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Even in our lowest seasons God is evident. He is present. He is faithful. He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). 

My biggest challenge for you through all of this is to seek the lord for peace. 

Life can be hard. Like I explained earlier, I have been struggling to make it on my own. But God so graciously reminded me that I am not meant to do life on my own. That he has purpose in my pain. That there can be joy in our sorrows. How do I know that?

Because God is the sustainer and giver of joy, peace, and comfort. So when you feel empty, know that God is right there filling your cup. Giving you strength to conquer another day. Giving you peace to take on another week. Giving you confidence in the abilities he has so graciously gifted you with. 

God is waiting for you. He is the giver of peace even when we feel weighed down by anxiety, stress, or depression. Trust in him. Believe in the wonderful plans he has for you. Seek him for peace. For fulfillment. 

“In Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority” (Colossians 2:10).

Kundalini vs. Holy Spirit: Discerning the Deception of Demonic Practices

Kundalini meditation and yoga refer to a meditation that is designed to invoke the power of a sleeping serpent that lies coiled dormant at the base of the spine.

The word kundalini means coiled serpent. The root word “kund” means a deep pit or cave. And “lini” means to be overcome with energy. Principally, the purpose of kundalini meditation is to invoke the serpent energy from the deep pit within and encourage it to flow up the spine until it reaches the crown of the head. As the serpent spirit rises up the spine, it awakens the seven spiritual chakras (or energies) throughout the body. Each chakra represents a different focus for awakening as the serpent rises. Those who practice this form of meditation state that “It feels like the life force has amplified itself and has suddenly become even more alive. This is felt in its movement up the spine and sometimes as an electrical or radiating feeling in every cell. This sensation can be uncomfortable or terrifying. Nothing prepares us for this eruption.” Manifestations such as tremors, involuntary movement, and multisensory hallucinations leading to mood swings, grief, fear, and depression are reported as typical.

A story documented in a psychological case review describes the decline of a 24-year-old man who became involved in kundalini. During his treatment, he would present himself as delusional, in poor self-care, and with disorganized speech. He would tell his medical team that his condition was due to his kundalini awakening. Within two years, he had deteriorated so severely that he was forcibly detained in an adult psychiatry ward. According to prominent kundalini instructor Sadhgru, “When kundalini goes bad, it goes bad in ways that cannot be fixed. Kundalini is the most dangerous of all.”

Ava’s Story

Let me introduce you to Ava. Ava is a believer in Jesus and attends church regularly. Her family history and upbringing were like so many: a tumultuous time filled with hardship, trauma, and pain. Along her journey, Ava devoted herself to practices and belief systems that appeared to help her maintain a healthy mental state. She explored Yoga, Catholicism, Christianity, Buddhism, Kundalini, and Transcendental Meditation. Of all of the things that Ava explored, her involvement in kundalini meditation and yoga has had the most profoundly damaging impact on her life.

She described to me the various states of awakening she encountered. “I felt like waves of electrical energy surging through me, causing my body to convulse and tremor.” Ava’s participation in kundalini grew more intense as time passed, and deeper connections were experienced. One of the reasons she pursued this was the promise of mental health restoration and healing in the body. This is one of the false claims of kundalini yoga when, in fact, the opposite is true, as I’ve previously taught. Not long ago, during a particularly hard time in Ava’s life, she found herself addressing past traumas and settling complicated family concerns. She turned to her kundalini instructor for guidance. Then, after intense periods of kundalini meditation, Ava found herself drowning in a state of mental despair.

Suddenly, she was spinning out of control, unable to focus or maintain even a healthy conversation without mentally breaking down. Her mental stability and physical condition only declined as a result of her involvement in kundalini meditation and yoga. Eventually, her ability to maintain a healthy mental state was so significantly impacted that she was no longer able to fulfill her obligations at work. I had the goodfortune of speaking with Ava during this time in her life. I began to explain the root of kundalini yoga and meditation and exposed everything she has invited into her life. Seeing the truth in what I was saying, Ava immediately stopped her involvement in kundalini and began speaking with a professional counselor. Ava is now doing great and on the road to recovery, and though she has a lot of work ahead, her future is bright.

Ava’s story exemplifies the principle of opening doors to the enemy through participation in unrighteous and evil activities. Ephesians 5:11 from the Passion Translation teaches us, “And don’t even associate with the servants of darkness because they have no fruit in them; instead, reveal truth to them.” In Ava’s case, once the truth was revealed and the Gospel was made known in her life. Her decision to turn away and accept God’s gift of freedom led to her victory.

Biblical Response to Kundalini Meditation

For the believer, any willing participation with any demonic spirit, such as kundalini, opens the gates for demonic torment. When we accept the free gift of salvation, the Holy Spirit indwells us, and we have His presence always guiding us. This is how Christians should approach meditation, in partnership with the Holy Spirit, not through serpent spirit demons. Reject all teachings that desensitize and normalize kundalini meditation among believers in Jesus. Kundalini masters and practitioners widely caution that it is the most dangerous of all forms of meditation. Claiming that when practiced without proper focus and discipline, it can completely dismantle your life instantly. The Sai Ayurvedic Institute describes a ranging list of problems known as kundalini syndrome attributed to this type of meditation. These include Involuntary body movements, sleeping disorders, digestive system problems, numbness in limbs, pain throughout the body, random emotional outbursts, increased fear, rage, depression, hearing voices or sounds, mental confusion, and many more.

Believers, we are to steer clear from anything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. This is dangerous; do not be deceived. If you have participated in kundalini, I invite you now to repent and renounce participation with this prayer:

“Thank You, Holy Spirit, for Your presence. Lord, I invite You to fill me with Your Spirit. Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, and I believe You died on the cross for me, cleansing me from all sin and redeeming me from death. I acknowledge my participation in kundalini practices, and I repent for and renounce all involvement in this evil practice. Holy Spirit, I invite You now to cleanse my mind, my body, and my emotions from any evil spirit that may have come into my life. I speak to my body and my mind, and I command all effects brought on through kundalini be broken off of me now through the name of Jesus. I tell my DNA to forget the trauma brought on me when I partnered with these demons. I receive the blessings of the Lord, I am created in His image, I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and I am called to righteousness. And now, I receive the freedom from demonic attachments in my life, and I command every demonic spirit to GO NOW in Jesus’s name. Thank You, Jesus, I am free!”

Place your hand on the base of your spine, and in a prophetic act, pull it out, throw it to the ground, and crush its head!

Is Kundalini Meditation Redeemable?

All aspects of kundalini meditation and yoga are irredeemable. Believers must not participate in this demonic form of meditation. Some teachings have tried to link the Holy Spirit with kundalini in an effort to legitimize the practice within Christianity. Believers are indwelt with the Holy Spirit at the moment of our salvation. As we seek and receive the Holy Spirit, we can be confident that His power and glory will be evident in various ways, including the remarkable gift of speaking in tongues.

The difference is that, unlike the kundalini, the Holy Spirit is not dormant, awaiting a moment of awakening. He is always present and speaking. Additionally, the power of the Holy Spirit has been promised to all believers, not just those who choose to awaken the demonic power of a dormant spirit.

The glory of the Holy Spirit brings joy, peace, patience, kindness, virtue, faith, gentleness, and strength of spirit. In contrast, the fruits of kundalini worship manifest the opposite. For believers to truly align their minds, hearts, and bodies, it is absolutely crucial to meditate in line with the Holy Spirit. This practice allows the fruits of the Spirit to manifest in our actions and behavior, ultimately leading to a fulfilled life of purpose.

Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you (John 14:17 ESV).

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth (Acts 1:8 ESV).

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26 ESV).

Demon-Possessed Witch: ‘We Saw You At The Graveyard & Know What You Did!’

There was one encounter that I will never forget. I was attending a Christian camp.

A friend and I were in a room to the side of the camp’s central meeting place when no services were happening. As we were inside praying, a lady walked in, praying strangely and loudly. It made the two of us feel very uncomfortable.

She approached us and said, “I’m going to lay hands on you.” I immediately responded with a polite, “No, thank you.”

However, she proceeded to lay hands on Matt, and he sat still as she spoke loudly over him in a creepy language. It was not a Holy Spirit encounter at all! When she had finished, she burst into laughter and exited the room.

My friend looked at me and said, “I don’t feel well.” So, I said, “Let’s get you up to your place.”

As we walked, he said, “I felt something come over me while that lady spoke to me.”

When we arrived at his house, he went to the restroom and became sick. Shortly after, his wife came out holding a baby. Suddenly, chaos flooded the scene: the baby vomited on the floor and started screaming, the lights went out, and their stereo popped on, blaring, without any logical reason for doing so.

I immediately ran to find help, but as I did, something came over me, and I began to feel nauseous and upset. People around me asked if I was okay, but I couldn’t reply due to feeling ill.

This next part sounds even more strange, but it is true. One young lady went into my friend’s house to pray for his family, and when she walked through the door, she fell and passed out! This wild experience continued until a different and seasoned minister friend caught wind of what was happening, went into the house, and spoke the Word of God over it. Suddenly, it all stopped.

I got up off the sidewalk outside and found my way to a bed. Laying there, I felt hatred and anger pressing me to a degree I had never experienced before. Finally, I opened my mouth and said, “The victory is the Lord’s, and I resist this, in Jesus’ name!”

Everything I was feeling swirling around me—the anger, hatred, and sickness—left instantly! I got up as if nothing happened other than feeling very dehydrated and weak.

The friend who had those demonic hands laid on him was rushed to the emergency room. I went to see him with a couple of guys, and I will never forget that as we were walking along the street, a person shouted, “Jesus Christ,” from across the street while glaring at me. My friend’s dad said, “Nope! Sorry, just one of His followers!”

We got to the hospital room, where my friend was in bed receiving IV fluids. My friend said, “I had something come over me like dark- ness.” We prayed for him, and he got better.

This experience impacted me greatly, and I decided I would never be a victim of something like that again. So, I began to read the Word of God even more and it put steel inside me! I can remember thinking, There is nothing like this Book! The more I read it, the stronger and more secure I became.

Not long after this, the same lady was standing in the back of one of the meetings. This was a time of ministry when I was involved in praying over people. This lady came toward me, and I felt strength and authority rise inside me as she approached.

She was only a few steps from me, and she raised her hand as if to reach out and touch me. On the inside, I rose and lunged at her in faith and power. I laid my hand on her and commanded whatever was working through her to leave. She fell like a dead person and just lay there.

Various people who struggled with demonic issues would come to the prayer room at the camp. I would pray for them, and demons would come out screaming. One young girl, who had been part of occult practices, had a voice speak through her, saying it would kill her and me. I was young and didn’t know what to do, but there I was.

She wildly manifested demons and attacked me. Wow, she was strong! Her voice even changed. As she tried to harm both herself and me, I commanded the evil spirits to leave. However, this only made her behave more violently.

I read in the Word of God that angels obey the voice of the covenant—God’s Voice working through me. A better way of saying it was that I prayed the Word of God out loud. After this and not knowing what else to do, I called on angels for assistance. Immediately, she was pinned to the floor like a starfish. It looked like someone had tackled her and thrown her to the floor in a velcro suit! She was stuck to the floor and couldn’t move. I said, “Thanks, angels!” It wasn’t long before that girl was completely set free.

Another time, a young lady and I were riding in the backseat of a car moving fast down the highway. Along the way, she manifested a demonic voice and said, “I need air.” After rolling down her window, she lunged out the opening and almost got all the way out!

Her hair was blowing hard in the wind, and I went out that window nearly as quickly as she had. I grabbed hold of the back of her belt but could not stop her hands from striking the ground at highway speed. It was awful. I was working hard not to let her arms and head hit the ground. It all happened so fast, but I was able to pull her back through the window. After arriving at our destination, we cast that destructive spirit out of her!

These types of experiences were routine throughout the second half of that summer of my 15th year.

Graveyard Encounter

I encountered two voices that tried to speak to me at a young age. One was the Voice of God, and the other brought fear and uncertainty. I discovered that this was the voice of darkness that took the form of a spirit and was allowed to operate in the members of my family and on our property. The working of that spirit was a regular occurrence, and it was intimidating. However, at the age of 16, I put a stop to that fearful voice.

I was home following the summer of the supernatural experiences I previously wrote about and began to seek God. I had been leading people to the knowledge of Jesus at my school, even praying over people who received healing. One night, while I was praying, I took a significant turn.

Being prompted by the Holy Spirit at around midnight, I felt the urge to go to my paternal grandfather’s grave. I felt little hesitation in my heart, even though it was a peculiar thing to be prompted to do. However, I recognized it as the same prompting that led to my discovery of the white stone. That had turned out well, so I obeyed!

The sense I had was that the Holy Spirit was instructing me to go to the cemetery to cut off every curse over my life so that it could no longer influence me or affect my future family. I was to draw a line by making a declaration that would stop the progress of any evil thing that had ever happened in my family history.

My heart thought, Who am I to disagree with this prompting? So, I responded, “Yes, Sir,” got into the car and pulled into the country cemetery within a half hour, arriving somewhere between twelve-thirty and one o’clock in the morning.

It was completely dark. There was no light except the soft glow of the moon filtering through the trees. Usually, the black-as-ink darkness would have stopped me from proceeding, especially in a creepy cemetery. But this night, the Spirit of God came upon me with peace and authority.

Without hesitation, I shut off my car’s headlights and confidently made my way to my grandfather’s grave, weaving in and out among the tombstones, with only that faint light of the moon to guide me.

Finally, I stood in front of my grandfather’s headstone. Poised in silence for a few minutes, a boldness for my legacy and future family rose inside me, accompanied by righteous and indignant anger. Rather than fear—being in an eerie graveyard barely one lumen above pitch black—I felt an attitude of aggression against the things that had held my lineage bound.

I passionately declared that every curse was broken: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord! In the name of Jesus, no physical or spiritual curse will follow me from this day forward!” I boldly drew a line in the spirit realm. I made many such declarations for what seemed like a half-hour, first to the Lord, then to the kingdom of darkness, as I informed it that this was now my legacy and that Jesus would be glorified through my family after me.

I did this with a heart of love and respect for everyone before me who had simply lived in all the light they had. However, it was imperative that I cut off anything and everything that was ungodly from the past behavior of any of those from whom I was descended. I rejected abuse, sexual wickedness, addiction, witchcraft, violence, etc.

This was the point in my life where all the negative spiritual traffic instantly ceased. The intense things I had heard as a boy were permanently silenced. From that moment forward, the only voice I developed a sensitivity to hearing was the Voice of the Holy Spirit. Other things attempted to knock on my door, but Jesus and the Word of God answered.

About a week after the cemetery experience, I walked into a youth meeting held at the church I attended. This particular evening, I arrived late, and when I walked in the door, a young lady saw me and instantly manifested demons. She went into convulsions and fell to the floor. Whoa, I thought, what’s happening? Yet it was obvious to me that it was full-tilt demonic.

Now it’s important to understand that this was a seeker-friendly church. The culture was, “Let’s play music, play games, and maybe do a drama or puppet show to reach people for Jesus.”

A demonic manifestation was not the norm and was a radically new experience for this crowd. The young people responded by crying and panicking, not knowing at all what to do when a demon manifested. Some of the kids ran away while others encircled the girl, trying to calm her down. It was chaos!

Yet the Spirit of the Lord came upon me with an overwhelming sense of peace. I walked over to her and calmly said, “You come out of her, in Jesus’ name.”

She replied, “The voices saw you; they told me not to talk to you!”

“Okay, I don’t care about the voices,” I replied. “They can go now, in Jesus’ name.” With all the demonic theatrics you can imagine, she told me the names of two entities that were speaking through her.

“I couldn’t care less what their names are,” I said. “Now leave!”

In one final attempt to stay, these demonic voices piped up through the young lady with gnarly voices, saying, “We saw you in the graveyard—we were there! We know you, and we know what you were doing!” They laughed and mocked me.

This really got my attention! Holy anger came upon me, and I snapped back, “Who cares where you were and what you’ve seen? Now get out of her, and leave this place!”

The girl sat up and turned her attention to my friend, who was not in the Word, and like so many of the others, had just come for a “seeker-friendly” meeting.

With a mocking demeanor, she said, “He doesn’t believe. He is afraid.” So, I sent him out of the room.

Then I said, “I believe in Jesus, and you are beaten. Now get out of here, and I don’t want to hear another word from you.” In that instant, the girl went limp, and fell back to the ground, and the two demons left.

After she had recovered, she explained to me that she was a young witch who was part of a coven that came to disrupt the service. After our encounter, she abruptly left.

I thought it was thrilling that the kingdom of darkness had been impacted by what the Spirit of God led me to do a week earlier. It was confirmation to me that my offensive attack against the darkness in my family had worked!

Make Demons Tremble! How to Stand Against Demons & The Occult

Demons

No matter what demonic strategy may come against you this day or how many demons are assembled together for your destruction, you never have to go down defeated. Jesus plundered the enemy when He rose from the dead! So when you look into the mirror, you need to learn to see yourself as one who already has the victory. You already possess the authority necessary to keep Satan under your feet where he belongs. Remember, you are no longer a victim — you are a victor!

Sparkling Gems From the Greek, Volume 1

James wrote that demons “tremble” at the thought of Jesus. That word “tremble” is from a Greek word that means to bristle, as when the hairs stand up on a person’s neck when he is suddenly “spooked” or startled by an unexpected noise. This means that when demons find themselves in the presence of a believer who is exercising his authority in the name of Jesus, it sends them into shock, panic, and dismay. Figuratively, it causes the hair to stand up on their necks. It terrifies them! Since you have the Holy Spirit living in you and you have the name of Jesus Christ to use at your disposal, it means you are in a position to make demons tremble!

Sparkling Gems From the Greek, Volume 2

Demonic hordes are tasked with bombarding people’s minds with the goal of modifying their thinking and leading them, through deception, into destructive behaviors and regretful decisions. Only demon spirits could propagate evil on such a wide scale — which is precisely what the Holy Spirit prophesied in First Timothy 4:1.

How To Keep Your Head on Straight in a World Gone Crazy

If you really know Jesus as your Lord and Savior — if you are in Christ — you can be sure that you have authority over demonic powers in the power of His name. You are empowered by the Holy Spirit, and you have been given the name of Jesus to take authority over and to cast out demons. You are empowered by the Spirit of God and have real God-given authority in the spirit realm!

Doctrines of Demons

It was prophesied long ago that seducing spirits with doctrines of demons would lead masses into deception in the last of the last days. That is the time frame we find ourselves in, and in fact, we are observing society throwing off the voice of Scripture to create a new world with a new moral code that is both messy and chaotic.

Seducing spirits with doctrines of demons have gradually lured believers away from a rock-solid position on Scripture so that they will accommodate the moral mess in the world rather than be motivated to change it.

 As God’s people, we must be alert to the fact that Satan is loosing hordes of seducing spirits with doctrines of demons in these last days to lead an entire generation into delusion. Satan has launched a covert operation to seize minds — especially young minds — to lead them off track.

Occult

The word “occult” is associated with secret knowledge. Nearly all occult practices are designed to enable one to pry his way into the spirit realm and, apart from God’s help, access the spiritual world in order to obtain information and knowledge. In short, the occult is man’s attempt to obtain insights about the future or to access the spirit realm on his own initiative, but one should never forget that if you cross a threshold that is not opened by the initiative of God, it will likely open the door to evil dimensions. If one chooses to open the door to another realm by his own volition, he needs to know that the devil is happy to provide him with an experience that is diametrically opposed to the teachings of the Bible.

Apostles and Prophets

If you are in Christ and walking in obedience to God’s Word, you are safe, secure, and sealed in the protective blood of Jesus — and the power of that divine protection can never be breached by someone operating under, or in cooperation with, the powers of Satan. You need never be fearful of any curse assailed against you or your loved one, no matter how dark or “powerful” the vessel through which the curse tries to come. The occult has never been, and will never be, a match for the power of God that is inside a believer.

Evil

In the midst of a current worldwide shift toward lawlessness, we are witnessing evil spiritual forces setting an entire spectrum of destructive fires, which are designed to consume as many lives as possible. This highlights with even greater force how crucial it is that we stick with the Bible and hold to the authority of Scripture in this late hour.

Because of Jesus’ death on the Cross and His resurrection from the dead, the forces of hell are already defeated. However, even though they have been legally stripped of their authority and power, they continue to roam around this earth, carrying out evil deeds like criminals, bandits, hooligans, and thugs. And just like criminals who refuse to submit to the law, these evil spirits will continue to operate in this world until some believer uses his God- given authority to enforce their defeat!

If not restrained, evil in any generation will become more and more bold, brazen, and aggressive.

Very often, evil finds access into your mind and imagination through your eyes, so make a covenant with your eyes as part of your deliberate plan to build a wall of protection around your life. Psalm 101:3 says, “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes….”

Last-Days Survival Guide

When God’s power arrives on the scene, evil spirits swiftly go out — and when they depart, the physical and mental afflictions caused by those spirits leave with them. Evil spirits are literally ejected or evicted, just as an unwanted person would be ejected or evicted from a house.

A Light in Darkness

The floodgates of evil are swinging open wide as society races toward a cataclysmic collision with crises of a magnitude never before seen, and societal attitudes and moral standards have shifted and plummeted to depths that are almost unimaginable.

Last-Days Survival Guide

Evil is always lurking in the shadows, waiting for us to drop our guard and fall asleep on the job. In those vulnerable moments of lethargy, the enemy is positioned to seize his opportunity and attack, often with devastating consequences. Therefore, it is essential that we are always on guard — diligent, wide-awake, and doing our part to protect ourselves from the evil that is in the world.

No Room for Compromise

You cannot avoid the fact that you will sometimes face unpleasant situations in which you feel mistreated, abused, or discriminated against. As long as you live in a world where the devil operates and unsaved people have their way, evil and injustice will touch your life from time to time.

Even the strongest believer can be worn down by the constant onslaught of evil surroundings.
