I have just finished reading "This Present Darkness" written by Frank Peretti. The book gives you a peek into the spirit realm seeing the angels and demons that are all around us.
Yes I believe in the spirit realm. I believe in God and I believe His word. He tells us of the spirit realm in His word. He also tells us that we are a spirit being, we live in a body and we possess a soul.
As I read this book I was able to correlate unexplainable feelings that I have experienced. I remember a couple years ago I was not being able to move, sitting there in a dazed stupor as the day went by. I was curled up in the middle of the floor shivering so cold (during summer) that I was unable to move. This dazed gloominess lasted two weeks until I could drag myself to church to pray, worship and eat His word as if I were starving to death.
That unexplainable experience was me under attack. A spiritual attack. I was making great strides in my spiritual and personal growth. Satan can't have us growing in God and making a positive difference in this world. His demons attacked me. (That is their job and they do it well!)
Demons are real, just as Angels are real.
Hell is real, just as Heaven is real.
Satan is real, just as God is real.
When I would realize I was being attacked and pushed through it, the demons would attack me with a different ailment or a different area of my life.
There are as many different types of demons as there are types of negative emotions / feelings / sicknesses / evilness etc. Depression, that is a demon. Lethargy, that is a demon. Anger, Offense, Laziness, Weariness, Discouragement, Witchcraft, those are demons. And the list goes on and on and on... When you speak the demons name, he shows up!
Be careful of what you say. When you speak words with your mouth you are either prophesying or cursing yourself/others. An example was when I would tell people that I was a migraine sufferer. Bam, I claimed it, it was my portion! I had them multiple times a week. I was miserable.
Now that I have learnt what you say is what you get, I prophesy over myself, by telling everyone, "I am well in Jesus name!" Sickness of any kind is no longer my curse, because I don't claim it. For those asking, no I haven't had a migraine in over a year, it is not my portion. AMEN!
Why am I writing about this? So you will understand the importance of your words. There was a time that I thought I was a positive person however as I spoke negativity and I received negative things.
My pastor has taught me to speak blessings and prophesy over myself. I have also learnt that you don't need to wait until you can get to your pastor to pray for you. Start praying over yourself. God sent word to me, that my prayers are just as effective as my pastor's prayers. I just have to open my mouth and start praying, claiming my victory, and He will listen / answer me.
My prayer is that if this post will do anything at all for you, it will have you thinking twice before speaking negatively.
Until next time, God Bless!!
