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.
