“Daddy, this Mystery of Negative Reaction, what causes it? How can it be adverted?”
“CARRY YOUR BIBLE AND OPEN TO THE BOOK OF MARK CHAPTER 9 VERSE 17”
I quickly opened to the passage and began to read.
“Mark 9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
Verse 18. And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
Verse 19. He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
Verse 20. And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
Verse 21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
Verse 22. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
Verse 23. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Verse 24. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
Verse 25. When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
Verse 26. And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
Verse 27. But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose”.
“TAKE NOTE OF VERSE 26. AFTER JESUS COMMANDED THE SPIRIT TO COME OUT WHAT WAS THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENED?”
“The spirit started misbehaving!”
“BUT AFTER THE DRAMA, WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?”
“It finally left”.
“AND WHAT WERE THE PEOPLE AT THE SCENE SAYING?”
“They were saying that the boy was dead”.
“CAN YOU SEE WHAT NEGATIVE REACTION LOOKS LIKE. IT GIVES A WRONG INTERPRETATION IN THE PHYSICAL REALM. THE SPIRIT BEGAN TO CRY AND MAKE A LOT OF NOISES. PEOPLE WOULD START SAYING THAT THE BOY WAS MUCH BETTER COMPARED TO WHEN JESUS PRAYED FOR HIM.
THE DRAMA WAS SO DECEPTIVE THAT WHEN THE DEMON FINALLY LEFT. THE BOY LAID ON THE GROUND LIKE A DEAD MAN. CAN YOU IMAGINE? ANYONE WHO SAW THE BOY IN THAT STATE WILL CONCLUDE THAT JESUS HAD KILLED THE BOY. BUT SPIRITUALLY, DELIVERANCE WAS ONGOING.
NEGATIVE REACTION IS THE FACTUAL EVIDENCE OF DEMONIC DECEPTION. WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT, NEGATIVE REACTION IS A DECEPTION FROM THE PIT OF HELL, MEANT TO WEAKEN OUR FAITH AND STOP OUR PRAYERS.
IT’S A DECEPTIVE STRATEGY SATAN APPLIES TO MAKE US DISCOURAGED AND GIVE UP ON THOSE SOULS WE ARE INTERCEEDING FOR.
OPEN TO GALATIANS 6: 9″.
I quickly opened to it and read out.
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not”.
“NOW CRIS, YOU’RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING. YOU’RE GOING TO READ THAT SCRIPTURE UPSIDE DOWN. I MEAN, USE THE OPPOSITE OF EACH WORD TO REPLACE IT”.
Wow! This was getting interesting.
“Galatians 6:9. And let us be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall not reap anything if we faint.
“I GUESS KING JAMES ENGLISH IS TOO HIGH RIGHT NOW. GET THE MESSAGE TRANSLATION ON YOUR PHONE”.
I quickly rushed for my phone and opened my message bible app.
“So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit”.
“NOW, READ IT THE WAY I TOLD YOU TO?”
“Galatians 6:9. So let’s allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will lose our harvest of a good crop if we give up, or quit”, I said.
“CAN YOU SEE FOR YOURSELF?”
“Wow!” I exclaimed.
“NOW, JESUS WAS ABOUT TO RECEIVE AN ANOINTING. JESUS WAS READY TO LAUNCH HIS ATTACK ON THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS. HE WAS READY TO TELL THE DEVIL HIS TIME WAS UP. HE SPENT 40 DAYS FASTING FOR THE ANOINTING.
FATHER GIVE ME THIS ANOINTING. FATHER, I WILL NOT LET YOU GO, UNTILL YOU ANOINT MY LIFE. BUT BEFORE THAT ANGELIC VISITATION THERE WAS WHAT?”
“Temptation”.
“TEMPTATION TO DO WHAT?”
“To round up the 40 days fasting and go home”, I answered.
“IF HE HAD FALLEN INTO THE TRAP OF THE ENEMY, WOULD THOSE ANGELS BEARING THE ANSWER TO HIS PRAYERS COME?”
“They would have to go back”.
AFTER THE TEMPTATION, WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?”
“Angels came and ministered to him. They came with the answer to his prayers”.
“THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS. OUR MIRACLE IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN AND BEFORE EVERY MIRACLE IS A TEMPTATION. THAT’S THE PATTERN. BEFORE JOSEPH WAS MADE GOVERNOR OF EGYPT, THERE WAS A TEMPTATION TO COMMIT IMMORALITY.
THERE’S ALWAYS A TEST BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF OUR THE ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS. WE MUST KEEP THIS AT THE BACK OF OUR MIND. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. SATAN WILL BE GIVEN THE PERMISSION TO STRIKE THE LAST BLOW.
TRUST ME! HE’S GOING TO GIVE IT EVERYTHING HE’S GOT. WHO WOULD SEE HE’S LOSING A COMBAT AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO STRIKE THE LAST BLOW THAT WILL NOT GIVE IT HIS BEST SHOT?
THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS AND A LOT OF BELIEVERS FALL FOR HIS DECEPTION. NEGATIVE REACTION IS ALWAYS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM. THAT’S ANOTHER DEFINITION FOR NEGATIVE REACTION.
IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM, YOUR INTERCESSORY PRAYERS ARE ALREADY CREATING AN EFFECT AND WRECKING THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. BUT PHYSICALLY, THE SMOKER IS SMOKING MORE THAN HE USED TO DO BEFORE.
THAT’S FOR NEGATIVE REACTION. SO LET’S TALK ABOUT THE SECOND KIND OF INTERCESSORS”.
“Yes Daddy!” I said, as my hand moved so fast on the jotter.
“THE SECOND KIND OF INTERCESSORS ARE WHAT WE CALL THE WATCHMEN INTERCESSORS. THESE KIND OF INTERCESSORS CAN BE NICKNAMED THE ENCHANTERS.
THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO KNEEL DOWN IN PRAYERS AND STOP A GIRL FROM COMMITING IMMORALITY WITH HER BOYFRIEND. THEY HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE YOU LIT UP A CIGARETTE AND CANNOT PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH.
THEY HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE YOU DO WHATEVER THEY WANT YOU TO DO WHENEVER THEY KNEEL DOWN TO PRAY. THESE KIND OF INTERCESSORS ARE CALLED WATCHMEN INTERCESSORS.
THEY HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF HEARING ABILITY. SURE THEIR EAR BUDS ARE ALWAYS WORKING 24 HOURS OF THE DAY. THEY CAN BE IN THEIR HOUSE AND SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO GO FOR AN ABORTION. THE HOLY SPIRIT INFORMS THEM IMMEDIATELY.
AS THEY KNEEL DOWN AND START PRAYING. THE LADY WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SHE SUDDENLY CHANGED HER MIND. SUDDENLY, SHE’S SCARED OF DOING THE ABORTION. SHE JUST WALKS OUT OF THE PLACE, UNABLE TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT SHE CAME TO ACCOMPLISH.
THIS IS THE HANDWORK OF THE WATCHMEN INTERCESSORS. THEY ARE MORE OF SPIRITUAL BODYGUARD. ALWAYS RECIEVING INFORMATION FROM THE HOLY GHOST AND USING IT TO ATTACK WHAT SATAN IS DOING.
THEY ARE SPIRITUAL WARRIORS WHO HAVE MASTERED THE ART OF PRAYER.
I THINK YOUR QUESTION RIGHT NOW IS , HOW DO I GET TO THIS SECOND LEVEL?”
“Yes ooo! The thing is sweeting me! I want to kabash and my uncle will just be looking at me unable to cancel our wedding”, I said grinning.
“AS A CHRISTIAN, PRAYERS IS NOT JUST A RITUAL YOU DO EVERYDAY. PRAYER IS AN AUTOMATED UPDATING MECHANISM. PRAYER ATOMATICALLY UPGRADE YOUR SPIRIT MAN AND PUSHES YOU INTO SPIRITUAL HEIGHTS AND REALMS, WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
THAT’S WHY SOME PEOPLE STILL STRUGGLE WITH MASTURBATION IN THEIR LIVES. THE REMEDY IS GO AND BUILD YOUR PRAYER LIFE. THERE IS A REALM YOU WOULD GET TO AS YOU PERSIST IN YOUR PRAYERS. ITS AS IF IMMORALITY DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE.
YOU START WALKING IN POWER AND AUTHORITY. PRAYER IS MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU THINK IT IS. THAT’S WHY TILL TOMORROW, THE NUMBER ONE THING SATAN WANTS TO DESTROY IN YOUR LIFE, IS YOUR PRAYER LIFE. HE SERIOUSLY KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING.
SO WHAT IS THE SECRET TO ATTAINING THIS KIND OF SPIRITUAL HEIGHT?
NUMBER ONE, MIDNIGHT PRAYERS. THAT’S PERSONAL NIGHT VIGILS. MIND YOU, NIGHT VIGILS IS DIFFERENT FROM QUIET TIME. SO IF YOU’RE DOING A NIGHT VIGIL, DON’T USE IT AS A REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR QUIET TIME. VIGILS ARE FOR WARFARE, BUT QUIET TIME IS FOR INTIMACY AND BUILDING YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE.
THAT’S A MISTAKE A LOT OF BELIEVERS MAKE. BECAUSE YOU WOKE UP TO PRAY AT MIDNIGHT, YOU DECIDED TO TURN YOUR TIME FOR QUIET TIME INTO A SUBSTITUTE FOR SLEEP. ITS NOT DONE THAT WAY. YOU MAY REDUCE THE TIME, BUT DON’T CANCEL QUIET TIME BECAUSE IF PERSONAL NIGHT VIGILS. YOU MAY SLEEP A LITTLE WHEN IT’S TIME FOR YOUR QUIET TIME, BUT MAKE SURE, YOU OBSERVE IT.
YOU MAY ALSO SHIFT THE TIME BECAUSE YOU’RE TIRED, BUT DON’T CANCEL YOUR QUIET TIME. NO YOU DON’T TRY THAT. QUIET TIME IS SO IRREPLACEABLE. IT’S THE POWER HOUSE. THE CENTER THAT HOLDS EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE TOGETHER.
MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY AND NOT TO FAINT. YOU CAN NEVER PRAY ENOUGH. ITS TOO IMPOSSIBLE. ONE THING YOU CAN NEVER REPLACE IS YOUR QUIET TIME.
NOW THE SECOND THING TO DO IS TO CULTIVATE THE HABIT OF PRAYING IN TONGUES. ITS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL WAYS OF ATTAINING SPIRITUAL HEIGHTS. PRAYING IN UNKNOWN TONGUES HELPS YOU PRAY THE WILL OF GOD WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND TAKES YOU INTO HIS PLAN AND PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE FASTER.
IN CONCLUSION, BE CONSISTENT IN YOUR PRAYER LIFE. THAT’S THE MOST POWERFUL WAY TO ATTAINING THIS KIND OF SPIRITUAL TRANSITION. CONSISTENCY IS THE GREATEST KEY IN SPIRITUAL LIFE THAT HELPS ACCESS REALMS. TRUST ME! THE MORE YOU ALWAYS SHOW UP TO SPEND TIME WITH GOD, THE MORE HE REFINES YOU AND UPGRADES YOU TO A BETTER VERSION OF WHO YOU ARE.
SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY AND INFLUENCE, IS A PRODUCT OF SPENDING TIME WITH GOD. YOUR TIME WITH GOD IS NEVER A WASTE CRIS. SOME PEOPLE ARE DISCOURAGED. I PRAY, BUT IT’S AS IF NOTHING IS HAPPENING. THAT’S A LIE, YOU’RE BUILDING YOUR SPIRITUAL ENERGY UNKNOWING TO YOU. ONE DAY, YOU WILL BE SHOCKED AT THE LEVEL OF COMMAND YOU WILL GIVE AND EVEN NATURE WILL OBEY YOU. SPIRITS WILL OBEY YOU, ANGELS WILL RUN ERRANDS FOR YOU.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU CONSISTENTLY USE YOUR MOUTH TO PRAY, SOMETHING HAPPENS. YOUR TONGUE RECEIVES AUTHORITY. SO WHEN YOU SPEAK, YOUR WORDS CANNOT FALL TO THE GROUND.
SO THESE INTERCESSORS ARE MOSTLY MADE UP OF BELIEVERS WHO HAVE GROWN IN THEIR YEARS OF INTIMACY WITH GOD AND HAVE ATTAINED SPIRITUAL HEIGHTS.
SO THAT’S THE END OF THE CLASS CRIS!”
“So Dad! What can I do about the situation of my uncle?” I asked.
“DON’T BOTHER YOURSELF PRAYING AND TRYING TO ENCHANT HIM. THE ONLY WAY TO BEAT HIM IS YOUR HUMILITY. SO IT’S GOING TO BE A DIFFERENT STRATEGY THIS TIME AROUND”.
“Yes daddy! I’m ready to be the submissive wife you’ve always wanted. Break me till everything in me is nothing but the humility of Jesus”.
“THEN GET READY FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON OF YOUR LIFE”.
To be continued……
There are so many things that happen when you pray. Prayer have alot of benefits.
The bible says while Jesus prayed, he transfigured and he began to shine like the sun.
Moses spent 40 days on the mountain with God and by the time he came back, he face shone like the sun.
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.
The more we spend time with God, the more we become like God.
