How to protect yourself

The bible tells us that not all spirits can be cast out or cast away in the same way. In Mathew 17, Yeshua cast out a demon that the disciples could not. when they asked why the demon didn't respond to them Yeshua told them, “ this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” (verse 21)

I don’t know much about the different types types of spirits there are. I’ve only encountered a few, and I'm still researching in the bible. As I learn more, I’ll share it. But with the ones I’ve battled so far, I’ve found a few weapons at my side.

As I said before, our biggest offense and defense against the enemy is Prayer. When you feel attacked, start praying. When we call on Yahweh, it hurts them. they can’t stand his name, let alone his presence, Pray for peace, for guidance, for strength and wisdom.

Demons attack with threats, they try to terrorize you, make you feel afraid. Every time they threaten me with something, I counter by praying against it. If they Threaten to hurt me, I pray for protection. If they threaten to hurt my family, I pray for God to protect my family. No matter what they throw at you, God can stop it, if you just ask and believe.

 If you can’t form a prayer, then sing. There have been times when the waves of fear they’ve thrown at me were so oppressive I couldn’t form a coherent thought, I couldn’t remember how to pray. But I was able to sing; praise songs and hymns, uplifting music that celebrates life and Yahweh and the beauties of creation. and those songs pushed back the blanket of terror enough that I could breath, that I could form a prayer and rebuke the spirits away. They helped me remember I wasn’t fighting alone.

As I said before, the enemy cannot stand in the face of Yahweh. They can’t bear the sound of his name, or the praises you sing to him. That’s why they try to break us down, shut our ears to the voice of god.

My last piece of advise is this: don’t fight alone. Not unless you have to. Get your family, your friends, and have them pray with you., pray for each other. Sing together, whatever it takes. Yahweh says, “when two or three are gathered together in my name, I will be in the midst of them.” He gave us community and fellowship because it makes us stronger. Even if they can’t be right there with you physically; call them, text them. tell them you need their help. Prayers are not subject to distance. I’ve been moved, by the will of Yahweh, away from all my closest family and friends. I’m am not alone, I have loved ones here, but my main support system is farther away than I'm used to. So I text and call regularly, and have found out that it works. Support and fellowship are what keeps us strong. In sharing the light, and letting others share their light with us, we glow ever brighter.

If you’ve started reading this, I bet you’ve been getting attacked more. If they haven’t tried to hurt you yet, then they will as soon as they feel you’re a threat. I ask, I pray, that you don’t let them scare you. This is a very serious war. And we need all the warriors we can get.

I pray Yahweh's peace for you. Let his strength and light live within you. And wherever you walk, may you know his voice, and his hand.

Hold your light, and pray hard

The night after I posted the first articles on here, I was attacked by the enemy. I was woken up at 1:30 am  by a compounded wave of fear. It made my heart beat loud and my ears ring. There was no physical catalyst, nothing tangible to explain the feeling, but it was there. I knew I wasn’t alone, and I knew that whatever was near was not friendly.

I’ve been attacked like this before, so I recognized the symptoms, and I started praying: Prayer is our biggest defense and offense against evil spirits. Call upon the name of god.

This night turned into a very long battle, I was able to punch at the fear, but it didn’t go away, and there were several spirits all trying to intimidate me, make me stop, make me be silent. I kept praying, rebuking each one that tried to come at me. They ran in circles around my room, shoving their faces against the window, standing sentry over my door. Several times I thought I heard a knock or scratch at my door or window, and I thought I heard the dog door flap a couple times, even though I knew the dogs were all upstairs asleep.

I kept praying. When they realized I wasn’t going to cave in, they started throwing threats against my loved ones. They said they were going to send their friends to attack my family as well. they were going to stir up all their buddies and cause a ruckus for everyone. So again, I prayed, asking for protection for my family, for the angels to watch over them and shield them from whatever might come their way.

This all went on for some time. I was tired of fighting (tired in general), and finally asked Yaweh what would make them shut up and go away. He told me it was alright, and told me to tell them, “Thus says the Lord, ‘You cannot harm my children.’ Go away, you cant touch me. You have no power over me. Get the hell out of here.” So I did. They didn’t all leave at first, but they couldn’t attack me anymore. They glared, and sneered. Lol At one point, when it was quieter, I got up to go to the bathroom, and as soon as I opened the door, the sentry tried to scare me so I couldn’t leave. He popped through to the physical side of things just barely, enough that I could see him standing over me. It was like hitting a compressed wall of air when I tried to move past. lol this was after Yaweh had spoke his piece, and I was so tired I simply rolled my eyes at him and went my way. He had no power to stop me.

This is the kind of battles I’ve been fighting for as long as I can remember. That night was one of the milder attacks I’ve received. I’m telling you about this, not to frighten you, but to show you an example of what this war looks like, and how we fight it. We don’t all see spirits the same way, some people don’t see them at all. But we all can see the effects.

Here’s my puzzle for you. Next time you feel an emotion, and you don’t know where it came from. Be it anger, fear, lust, jealousy- Start praying. See what happens. It may get worse before it gets better; the enemy never gives up easily. But hold on to the light in your heart, and they can’t harm you.

In the Beginning

There are some basic truths about the universe that need to be acknowledged. the first is very simple: God created the universe. Now, whether you think he did this in a literal 24-hour week or took billions of our years is irrelevant. The fact is that Yahweh did it. The bible says he did it in 7 days. Read it as you wish.

When he made our universe- the land, the sea, the stars, the moon- he set it to operate under a specific set of rules; ie. the laws of physics. the planets spin to make gravity, so we don’t float away. the planets rotate around the sun, giving us days, years and other ways to keep track of our time. The body needs oxygen in order to live. The trees need carbon dioxide to make oxygen, etc. all the rules that govern the world, and make it go round, these were woven into the fabric of creation. they cannot be altered or changed. they simply are.

Now, when he made us, he also made another side of the universe. he gave us souls. He made Heaven, his holy kingdom, and he made the angels who live there. Now we don’t know much about that side of the universe, but we do know that they seem to operate under different rules then we do. They are not of this world, but they do  visit. they interact in our world, and somehow operate beyond our rules. they can be invisible, they can go completely unnoticed, but at other times they can interact with us and our world (one wrestled with Jacob, came and talked to Mary, they came and sang to the shepherds in Bethlehem).

There was one angel who was not content with his lot in life. We’re told his name is Hasatan  (also known as Lucifer, Satan). He planned to rise up against Yahweh, but was found out, and he and his followers were banished from heaven, and cast down to earth. Here, they spend their time tempting us away from the one true god, continuing their crusade to usurp Yahweh from his throne. It was Hasatan who influenced Eve and Adam to disobey their maker, and cast themselves in sin. And that’s how the story starts.

This story, which began thousands of years ago, is still going on today. And that’s why I’m here. The battle is still raging around you. only some of us can literally see it, but we all see the effects. We see the pain, the perversion that takes hold of people, turning them away from truth, from purity. these things are fruits of the enemy, Hasatan and his followers. They instigate situations and people, trying to twist the world and make it ugly, like they are. and It is our job, as followers of Yahweh, as believers in the Messiah, to fight them back. This is the true war, not against rulers and countries, but against the forces of darkness that taint the beautiful creation of Yahweh with their very presence.

My job is to train soldiers. I am to present the truth, to invite you to join the army, and to help you realize the weapons you have in your arsenal. The enemy is dark, frightening and cunning. But we are not unarmed, and we are not alone. Keep the light in your heart, my friends, and hold on tight. With Gods love and blessings, with his strength… Here we go.

Wake Up!

Yeshuah Cast out demons. The disciples called upon the power of his name to overpower evil spirits. Throughout history, from the beginning of time to present, the works of Satan have been seen and documented.

What makes you think Satan and his followers have disappeared now?

The battle is ever present on our doorstep, Christians. You serve no one in your passivity and willful ignorance. Rise, Step forward and claim your armor.

It's time to go to war.

Wake up, Brethren.
