Re: Prayer Request: (Spiritual Warfare)

I want to thank you all for your prayers. I'll be fasting also. We'll have the kids out of the house this weekened. So we might hold a little "prayer meeting" in the basement until this thing breaks.

But what you say is true. Demon spirits often accompany items relating to the occult.
Do it. Spirits often attach themselves to objects or things. They will need to discard anything demonic related or the spirit will not leave. One girl came to our church with a necklace related to the santeria occult. A minister prayed over her and asked her to throw it away. She was upset, but eventually the holy spirit led her to toss it in the trash.

In some cases if a person brings with them a piece of jewelry like a pentagram with a circle around it or a piece of jewelry or clothing that somebody could have placed a curse on, (it can happen) it IS possible to bring demons in that way. You should find out. God Bless you!

Re: Prayer Request: (Spiritual Warfare)

Aquila, we have experienced a lot of this stuff too. I agree with the fact that objects are very significant sometimes when it comes to these kinds of things. Also, a person can have a familiar spirit that follows them around like a "proverbial bad smell". Sometimes it takes a word of knowledge or just actual knowledge about the person's history, including ancestral / generational stuff, to get to the root of it. Otherwise the thing has permission to be there in a sense. When we came to church, the day we got baptised a lot of stuff just fell away, other stuff needed prayer and deliverance. I will pray for you guys.

We should never be ignorant of the powers that Satan has been granted in this earth, but we have been given dominion over them in the blood of Jesus, and His authority. Will continue to bind in prayer with you for this situation. We are more than conquerors through Jesus!

She let me poke around downstairs and I talked to her, it was actually a low key interview. Her background is Jehovah's Witness (which I already knew). There is also incest and spiritual abuse in the family history that the JW's covered up. When she broke free from the JW's she explored occult spiritualities in addition to drugs and alcohol, but that was years ago. She does enjoy reading novels about serial killers and mysteries. But she doesn't have anything overtly occult.

She could have picked it up in her occult exploration or it might be something flowing through her generationally as a result of false doctrine and abusive sexual perversion.

I cleansed my things of anything occult to lead the way just to demonstrate what I was talking about. I found some books on various subjects such as runes, tarot, pagan gods, and psychic mediums that I was keeping for reference about their beliefs, but not for practice. I had encountered some of these subjects while witnessing to people. Since some portions of these books contained examples of rituals, meditations, or invokations I threw them away. These even included a book on "pet psychics" that was a gift to me from a cooky friend who thought I'd find it interesting. That was Wednesday night. I had never had any issues like this before and I never considered them something for "practice" and I rarely read them. The vast majority of my books are Christian and Bible reference materials. But I purged them just in case and to gain spiritual leverage.

I started consecrating myself last night. I'm fasting and praying throughout the day today. I plan on hanging out in the basement tonight, doing some prayer, Bible reading, and worship. We'll see if it reveals itself again and if it doesn, we're going to engage it in the name of the LORD until it lifts and the Holy Spirit fills the house. Taunya has been hyper sensitive to anything that goes bump or appears out of the ordinary. I assured her that most likely it's her imagination right now. I explained that these things feed on fear to crush faith that they can be defeated. I also explained that anything that does happen is like a temper tantrum and to ignore it until we're ready to cast it out.

Re: Prayer Request: (Spiritual Warfare)

Spiritual "knowing gifts" will be of great assistance, but I've not really operated in them in several years. So if Word of Knowledge is needed, I pray God will provide.

I'm focusing on the armor of God:
Christ as Truth
Christ as our Righteousness
Christ as our Peace with God through the Gospel
Christ as the author and finisher of our Faith
Christ as our Salvation
Christ as the Living Word of God
Christ as the Spirit within through which we pray
Also focusing on how to guard the "gates" (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, touch).

When the tabernacle was consecrated to God they had seven seven items that symbolically represented various spiritual truths:
The Gate
The Altar
The Brazen Laver
The Golden Candlesticks
The Table of Shew Bread
The Altar of Incense
The Veil
The Ark of the Covenant
The spiritual realties are:
The One Faith (Access to God)
The Sacrificial Atonement of Jesus (propitiatory)
The Cleansing of Baptism and Washing of the Word
The Light and Truth of the Holy Spirit
The Word of God
The Praise & Worship of the Saints
The Barrier of Sin being Destroyed at Calvary
The Very Presence of God
If this made God's house "holy"... perhaps declaring and reckoning these truths in my home, and over my guests, will make our house too "holy" for the spirit to remain.

Just something I've been meditating upon for some reason.

Aquila

Yesterday i forgo my lunch and took the time to pray over your situation. There is power in fasting and prayer. I don't know you in person but the God i pray to thru Jesus knows you, your family, and your circumstance and i believe He's greater and mightier then any dark forces. I continue to keep you lifted up in prayer. In Jesus Name!
