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.
