“THE SECOND ATTACK IS WHAT I CALL EXTERNAL MANIPULATION. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THEY MANIPULATE EXTERNAL BODIES TO FORCE YOU INTO ABANDONING YOUR PRAYER ALTAR.
HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THAT WHENEVER YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO BE ON FIRE FOR GOD, SUDDENLY, CERTAIN PERSONALITIES SHOW UP AND DISTRACT YOU? THEY ARE SO DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO SAY NO TO. YOU TRY TO TELL THEM YOU’RE BUSY, BUT THEY’RE SO IMPORTANT TO YOU THAT WHEN YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO START PRAYING, YOU’RE CHATTING WITH THEM.
YOU TRY TO PUT THEM ASIDE, BUT THE MORE YOU TRY, THE MORE YOU’RE FINDING YOURSELF ENTANGLED WITH THEM. TO SAY NO IS A PROBLEM AND WHEN YOU MUSTER THE STRENGTH TO TELL THEM NO, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE LOSING A GREAT RELATIONSHIP OR OPPORTUNITY.
THESE CAN BE FRIENDS WHO ALWAYS INVITE YOU TO WATCH MOVIES WITH THEM IMMEDIATELY IT’S TIME TO PRAY. THESE ARE FRIENDS THAT APPEAR WITH GIST FOR YOU WHENEVER YOU WANT TO START PRAYING. INTERESTING GIST.
AND THESE ARE ALSO PEOPLE IN PLACES OF AUTHORITY, WHO WOULD COME AND COMMAND YOU TO STOP PRAYING. YOUR PRAYER IS DISTURBING ME. YOU PRAY TOO MUCH. I DON’T LIKE THE WAY YOU ARE ALWAYS FASTING AND FASTING, STOP IT! I DON’T LIKE IT! THIS YOUR PRAYER LIFE IS BECOMING TOO MUCH.
THESE POWERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS EXPERIENCE. THEY ARE FOUND IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL. THIS WAS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN DANIEL WAS PRAYING AND HIS SPIRITUAL LIFE WAS GROWING AND HIS PRAYERS WAS SERIOUSLY GIVING THE DEVIL HEADACHE. SO THEY STRATEGIZED A WAY TO USE THEIR AUTHORITY TO FORCEFULLY END DANIEL’S PRAYER ALTAR.
THIS COMPLETELY HOW THEY OPERATE.
“Daddy! I have a question!”
“ASK.”
“The bible says we should be subject to the higher powers and those in position of authority. Are we to rebel against those around placed over us in the name of being spiritual?”
“NO, BUT THAT IS WHY THAT SCRIPTURE WAS GIVEN, WISDOM IS PROFITING TO DIRECT. THERE ARE SOM BELIEVERS THAT IF THEY ARE WANT TO PRAY, NOBODY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WILL BE ABLE TO SLEEP BECAUSE OF THEIR PRAYER.
THEY WILL SO MUCH MAKE NOISE AND DISTURB THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE NAME OF PRAYER. WISDOM IS IMPORTANT. IM NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD NOT PRAY LOUD, BUT LEARN TO PRAY WITH WISDOM.
THERE’S A WAY YOU CAN PRAY FERVENTLY AND NO ONE IS HEARING WHAT YOU’RE SAYING. THERE’S A WAY YOU PRAY AND YOU’RE FERVENT, BUT NOT DISTURBING ANYONE.
BUT OBEDIENCE DOESN’T MEAN YOU ALLOW THE DEVIL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU THROUGH THE BIBLE. SATAN CAN TELL YOU TO JUMP DOWN FROM THE HEIGHT OF THE TEMPLE AND HE’LL TELL YOU IT IS WRITTEN THE ANGELS OF GOD WILL CATCH YOU. IT IS IN YOUR BIBLE. AND BECAUSE IT IS IN THE BIBLE, YOU FALL FOR IT!
THERE’S A LIMIT TO WHAT OBEDIENCE TO THE AUTHORITY CAN GO. I’M NOT TEACHING YOU TO BE REBELS, BUT APPLY WISDOM. WHEN SOMEONE SAYS HE OR SHE DOESN’T WANT TO SEE YOU PRAYING. YOU CAN SET YOUR PRAYERS AT A TIME WHEN HE OR SHE HAS SLEPT OFF.
THAT’S HOW TO HANDLE SUCH SITUATIONS. REMEMBER WHEN SHADRACH, MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO. THE DEVIL SERIOUSLY CAME AFTER THEM, BUT THEY STOOD THEIR GROUND AGAINST THE AUTHORITY.
OBEY THE AUTHORITY DOESN’T MEAN DISOBEY GOD. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NO ONE TAKING GOD’S PLACE IN YOUR LIFE. IT’S AN IRREPLACEABLE POSITION.
IS THAT OKAY?”
“Yes sir.”
“NOW THAT’S NUMBER TWO. NUMBER THREE IS WHERE THE SPIRITUAL SNIPERS COME IN. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEIR PATTERN OF OPERATION. THE SPIRITUAL SNIPERS ARE A SQUAD THAT WATCHES FOR A BELIEVER’S CARELESS MOMENT.
WHEN THE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS HAVE TRIED AND TRIED AND THEY HAVE NOTICED YOU NO LONGER HAVE ANY INTENTION TO STOP PRAYING, THEY IMPLORE THE ASSISTANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL SNIPERS. THESE SNIPERS ARE THE ONES WHO THE BIBLE WAS REFERRING TO WHEN IT SAYS, HE THAT BREAKS THE EDGE, A SERPENT WILL SURELY BITE.
YOUR OBEDIENCE TO GOD GIVES YOU A COVERING AND KEEPS YOU OUT OF THE DEVIL’S REACH. THESE SNIPERS ARE ALSO THE ONES THE BIBLE WAS REFERRING TO WHEN IT SAYS, BUT WHILE MEN SLEPT, THE ENEMY CAME AND SOWED TARES AND WENT HIS WAY.
THAT WAS THE SPIRITUAL SNIPERS AT WORK. WHEN YOU GROW TO A LEVEL IN THE SPIRIT REALM, THE POWERS THAT WER ASSIGNED TO MONITOR YOUR SPIRITUAL PROGRESS WILL BE UNDER SERIOUS PRESSURE TO BRING YOU DOWN BY ALL MEANS.
THERE ARE SOME LAWS THAT GOD STARTS GIVING YOU THAT ARE PERCULIAR TO YOU ALONE. DON’T WORRY ABOUT THAT JULIET. AS YOU GROW, YOU’LL BEGIN TO DISCOVER THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS OTHERS DO, BUT GOD WILL RESTRICT YOU FROM DOING IT.
THESE RULES ARE LIKE LIFE LINES. OPEN TO PROVERBS 3:1.”
I quickly opened to the passage and read.
“My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
Verse 2. For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.”
“NOW MOVE TO VERSE 21.”
“My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
Verse 22. So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
Verse 23. Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
Verse 24. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.”
“THESE SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTIONS KEEP YOU OUT OF THE DEVIL’S REACH AND HE BECOMES POWERLESS. THEY ARE GRACE PERSONIFIED. THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE HOLY GHOST IS WHAT SUPPLIES GRACE TO YOU. GRACE TO YOUR NECK, AS THE SCRIPTURE SAY
MAYBE, GOD TOLD YOU TO ALWAYS READ YOUR BIBLE BEFORE GOING TO BED AND YOU DON’T TAKE THAT INSTRUCTION SERIOUSLY, YOU’RE GIVING THE SPIRITUAL SNIPERS THE OPPORTUNITY THEY ARE LOOKING FOR?”
“Wow!”
“OPEN TO PSALMS 119:67.”
I quickly opened it and read
“Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.”
“THAT AFFLICTION COULD BE AFFLICTION FROM THE SPIRIT OF PORNOGRAPHY AND MASTURBATION. THAT AFFLICTION MAY BE AFFLICTION BY THE SPIRIT OF ANGER. YOU TRY TO BRING THAT ANGER UNDER SUBJECTION, NO WAY. YOU TRY TO CONTROL IT BUT NO WAY. THIS WAS A SPIRITUAL BULLET FIRED INTO YOUR SOUL. AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A BULLET IS NOT REMOVED.
SATAN’S BULLETS ARE LIKE VIRUSES. THEY ENTER THE SOUL AND CONTINUE TO POISON THE MAN LITTLE BY LITTLE. SPREADING ALL OVER THE SPIRITUAL BODY UNTILL IT FULFILS ITS ASSIGNMENT AND PURPOSE.
SO ITS VERY IMPORTANT YOU KEEP YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE WITH ALL DILIGENCE. YOU CANNOT LIVE CARELESSLY. YOU CANNOT SLEEP ANYHOW. YOU CANNOT EAT ANYHOW LIKE OTHER CHRISTIANS. YOU ARE A LADY UNDER SERIOUS SPIRITUAL SNIPER’S SCRUTINY. ANY LITTLE OPENING THEY RECEIVE TGE SIGNAL AND LAUNCH THEIR ATTACK.
THAT’S WHY YOU MUST SAVE YOURSELF BY TAKING YOUR PRAYER LIFE AND BIBLE STUDY WITH ALL SERIOUSNESS. REMEMBER WHAT I SAID TO THE DISCIPLES. WATCH AND PRAY SO THAT YOU WILL NOT FALL INTO TEMPTATION. IF YOU PRAY AND YOU’RE NOT WATCHFUL, YOU’LL STILL FALL ON TOP YOUR PRAYER LIFE.
THAT’S THE REASON WHY MANY BELIEVERS TODAY ARE VERY PRAYERFUL, YET SIN COMES AND MEET THEM PRAYING AND STILL RUBBISH THEM. THEY ARE PRAYERFUL, YET SIN STILL HAS POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER THEM. THEY ARE PRAYERFUL, BUT NOT WATCHFUL.
WHAT DO YOU WATCH AGAINST? YOU WATCH OUT WHEN UNCLEAN THOUGHTS TO SIN AGAINST GOD IS TAKING SHAPE IN YOUR HEART. WATCH OUT WHEN BITTERNESS BEGINS TO TAKE ROOT IN YOUR HEART AND YOU START NOTICING YOU’RE HAVING HATRED TOWARDS CERTAIN PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE.
WATCH OUT, WHEN YOU START LUSTING AFTER THAT MALE OR FEMALE FRIEND AND BEGIN TO IMAGINE YOURSELF COMMITING IMMORALITY WITH THEM IN YOUR HEART. WATCH OUT WHEN YOU START NOTICING YOU ARE BEGINNING TO LIKE ROMANCE SCENES IN MOVIES AND SEEM COMFORTABLE WITH THEM.
WATCH OUT WHEN YOU BEGIN TO ENJOY THE FEELING IT GIVES YOU. THE FEELING OF BEING AROUSED AND YOU KEEP ENJOYING IT WHILE IT LASTS. WATCH OUT WHEN YOU START NOTICING YOUR EYES NOW FOLLOW THE BACK SIDE OF LADIES AS THEY WALK. WATCH OUT WHEN YOU BEGIN TO NOTICE YOU ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO GET ANOTHER GLIMPSE OF HIM AND YOU JUST WANT TO HAVE A HUG OR MORE.
NOT THAT HUG IS A BAD THING, BUT THE HUG IS BEGINNING TO MEAN SO MUCH TO YOU THAN NORMAL. WATCH OUT WHEN PORN VIDEOS POP UP ON YOUR PHONE WHILE BROWSING THE INTERNET AND INSTEAD OF SHUTTING THEM DOWN, YOU START LOOKING AT IT A LITTLE.
WATCH OUT!”
I went down on my knees and burst into tongues.
“Lord I am not innocent. I am so guilty of everything you have said. As a daughter of Zion, I have not made you proud. I have been careless with my spiritual life. I have never taken it as seriously as you have always wanted it to be.
Lord please help me to obey you. I am tired of losing this battle to the devil. I want to be Lucifer’s biggest nightmare. I want to win Broadway academy and conquer it for you.
But sometimes my flesh seems so strong. So strong that it overpowers my will to obey you. I seek comfort in the hands you hate so much. I seek comfort in occasional pleasure.
Lord I have discovered you remain unchanging. In all the things you said, I discovered one thing. Satan is not powerful. The flesh is not strong. We are the ones making them look as if they are strong.
Out greatest problem is we are scared. We are scared of pain. We want the results without paying for it. We want to be great without following the principles of greatness. We just want an easy life so badly.
Lord! Despite all our attempts to show you that our inability to meet up with your standards should make you reduce the standards to our level. You have chosen to remain unchanging.
This has made me to realize that I am the one wasting my time. I am getting old everyday. I was supposed to be casting out demons at the age of 14. But demons are almost casting me out.
The more I keep trying to please God my way, the more I am still struggling with my spiritual progress.
But not anymore. Lord! I Juliet Anderson! I make a decision today! I will pay the price for my generation. I will not be lazy in the place of prayers. I will pray till I die praying. I will study my bible till I die because of too much reading of the bible.
I, Juliet Anderson has made a decision. In that dream, I saw Fejiro, Aunty Rhema and my future husband. I have lost Fejiro to the devil. My armour bearer!
I will not lose anyone again!
I am making my declaration. I am taking my stand. Lord! You can now count on Juliet Anderson. She will not fail you! You can trust her completely. She will deliver!
If you want me to fast, to pray, to study my bible! All you need to do is to ask. I am ready for your worst dealing!”
“ARE YOU SURE?”
“Yes! Try me and find out!”
To be continued……….
How many of you are making the same decision today as Juliet.
Juliet saw 3 people in that dream. Fejiro, Aunty Rhema and her future husband. She had lost one of the 3. Aunty Rhema would be the next if she fails again.
I, Juliet Anderson! I make a decision today! I will pay the price for my generation. I will not be lazy in the place of prayers. I will pray till I die praying. I will study my bible till I die because of too much reading of the bible.
I Juliet Anderson has made a decision. In that dream, I saw Fejiro, Aunty Rhema and my future husband. I have lost Fejiro to the devil. My armour bearer!
I will not lose anyone again!
Can you go ahead and make your own declaration?
