What do I do?

[Purple-flower]

Hello everyone, I need some advice. One day as I was praying as to why the things God has spoken over my life weren't seeming to materialise even though this is the time God has spoken for them to come into being and I heard a message that the reason was like Daniel's, evil forces were blocking the answers.

Can this be? If so how do I get all that God has for me? Please help, because all I seem to do is cry these days thinking "I don't know what to do?".

I have really battled with the devil recently because he has tried no end to detroy me life and my faith. `he has manipulated situations that I have asked God for to make them seem that God will not give them to me and that he (satan) can destroy. satan has stolen so much from me and I want them back.

God spoke some specific things over me and believe me the devil has wormed his way in there and makes it look like its hopeless. I must admit there have been times when I have looked and been shaken in faith. I feel so guilty but I have prayed and stood up again and believed.

I feel guilty every day over one thing or another, thinking that I have messed up somehow but I don't know how. I am struggling to hear from God, I don't know if I have upset God or because I feel so guilty make it difficult for God to speak to me.

I so want the life God has promised, I can't bear this, its so hurtful. How can I get back all the devil has stolen? Oh another thing is that the devil is trying to convince me that someone else is living in my promised land and because I am so weak how will I get it back?

Please help, thank you all x

Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added to you.
Make it a priority to spend time reading the Bible, spending time with the Lord and push everything else to the back, even the voice of devils.

I have a friend who follows a bible reading scheme, a read the Bible in one year thing, I don't know if you do the same or not, but I have an unction to tell you to read the whole book of Ephesians, like if you were reading a book and not a verse a day. No idea why, but I hope you find the Lord speaking to you through it.

You will need to be more explicit for anybody to help you.

It doesn't sound like you are believing right. Nothing happens apart from God's will. All faith is tested: that which does not stand is as a plant that was growing and then dies. That is what happens when you fall away on doubt. Do not think doubt itself is anything but temptation to stand against. It happens, you have to resist it.

If you resist it: the plant continues to grow.

Faith is as a thought. One point in time. It grows through time, staying together. You hold to it and keep it.

If you are afraid it is not really God's will, you could be concerned about being more explicit about it. Unless it genuinely is secret. It sounds like you may be holding to a promise which is metaphoric and the real meaning is not yet given to you. It also sounds like you are confused about how to hold to it and what the wicked powers capabilities are.

It is your choice: not the devil's nor anyone else's for you to work with Christians to try and understand and come back and help us help you.

Unfortunately, I often see Christians post something like this then go away and not come back. Often they could have gotten answers which could help them. They don't understand to resist temptation. Something may say to them, "Don't open up" and so forth, so they do not.

Okay, I will go over your statements point by point in one moment, then.

Yes, that can be. I have been in the exact same situation.

Though, in my case, it was not because "of the devil". (I did actually have to forgive someone, I found out later, but the picture was bigger then that.)

Do not even ask.



God is ultimately the designer of any such thing. He is all powerful. Paul spoke of "Satan prevented us from going to you". Okay. But, still God could easily control Satan.

(I am sure Paul knew this.)

There are boundaries set and such: everything does happen for a reason.

Usually, we are not given the full picture on what it is we are waiting for, however. I had no idea what it was I was waiting for. I actually thought it was one thing, turned out there were much deeper meanings hidden behind everything which God blocked from my view.

I see now He did this to keep His secrets.

And that has many reasons itself.

I have really battled with the devil recently because he has tried no end to detroy me life and my faith. `he has manipulated situations that I have asked God for to make them seem that God will not give them to me and that he (satan) can destroy. satan has stolen so much from me and I want them back.

That does not sound right. Again, God foreordains anything. It is God who gives and God who takes away.

Look at Job. You see that well explained out there. No, God did not come up with the idea for Satan to attack Job, but God clearly knew Satan would and you can see that from what Job is talking about.

God would not have been surprised Satan asked to test Job in any way.

And Job confirmed it was God who ultimately was the One responsible for these things happening. After all, God did ask Satan about Job. God created Satan. And God allowed Satan to test Job.

This is important: because you can't get what you want if you are asking all of the wrong questions.

You really need to be more specific here, then, for me to help you.

God spoke some specific things over me and believe me the devil has wormed his way in there and makes it look like its hopeless. I must admit there have been times when I have looked and been shaken in faith. I feel so guilty but I have prayed and stood up again and believed.

Again, God is the One who lets that happen. The whole point in such a thing is for you to have faith and to build your faith. You have to see beyond the impossible, so no one can boast.

Otherwise, it would not be faith at all and you would not give cause to praise God for overcoming.

That is what happened to me. Everything looked impossible. Completely. And it all came about as I believed -- even moreso was added onto me.

My journey started as young as I could remember, also. And I suffered through great pain to get there.

Now, I have a new road and still a lot to do, to believe. It all does come about, however.

We are saved by faith, not by works nor deeds.

I feel guilty every day over one thing or another, thinking that I have messed up somehow but I don't know how. I am struggling to hear from God, I don't know if I have upset God or because I feel so guilty make it difficult for God to speak to me.

Living in guilt will not give you answers from God. Often guilt is because you fail to trust Jesus for the forgiveness of sins or that he has saved you by grace. If you are trying to live by law and not grace: expect a lot of guilt.

I so want the life God has promised, I can't bear this, its so hurtful. How can I get back all the devil has stolen? Oh another thing is that the devil is trying to convince me that someone else is living in my promised land and because I am so weak how will I get it back?

Please help, thank you all x

The Spirit of God is not weak and does work through your weakness. Relying on yourself is sinful and not believing. That will definitely close the door for you.

In all of this you are being very vague. I asked for more details, but you gave none.

That hurts you.

Do you have some reason not to give more details?

You have to trust to get anywhere. God sent you here. I am seeing some trust, but not much. I can only strongly suggest again that you be more forthcoming.

If not, then remember: it is lack of faith that holds us back. This does not mean we do not have to patiently wait for God. We do. But not always and the keys are in our hands to no small degree.

As for not having your promises yet -- so is the situation of many in this world today. Today is as night, sleep.

It is a transitory age.

Anyway, all I can do is ask. It is up to you to help out some here.

Dear beloved soul of Jesus Christ. I hope to speak directly to your heart.

I'm going through exactly the same thing. I've felt for a while that something wasn't right. A week ago yesterday I went to pray with a friend for an illness she is facing head on. As we were praying we were holding hands and all of a sudden she started trembling lightly all over and her voice got all lilty. She started saying things like, "It's the Holy Spirit, it's the Holy Spirit, can you feel Him. It's so warm, can't you feel Him." I started praying and crying hard to feel it and she said, "Look, look, it stopped right there (it stopped where her hand met mine). Anyway, she just was in such genuine awe that I couldn't feel it. I had been praying hard the week before to show me in no uncertain terms what was happening. When this happened with my friend I just knew. It was something definitely blocking me.

After praying hard about it all this week and searching for the answer, I am confident in the Lord has shown me it is the spirit of antichrist I am battling with. I was horrified but relieved at the same time. At least I know what I'm dealing with. I'm still working hard for the battle answers but things are already better. Trust me, I can identify with every single thing you said. During the process of praying for answers the Lord pointed me to a series of youtube videos that are about the end times. Two are on the spirit of antichrist. They are by Monica Dennington. The first one is titled 'The spirit of antichrist.' It's a comforting and very helpful video in understanding this isn't just happening to you and to me, it's happening everywhere to many .. we are being deceived and the bible says it will happen in the end times. It says many's love will wax cold and that's the verse all along that kept coming to me. I realize now we are being drawn into a slow death of hopelessness. We now know the Truth and can end this horrible feeling. The fact you are here asking this gives me great joy. The other thing I did was borrow a book from a friend on strongholds. It's basically giving the same info although I didn't care for it as much as the striagtforward videos.The thing to remember while we go through this is that our Lord is also a stronghold .. in fact He IS the greatest Stronghold. It's vitally important we hold on to our Lord with everything we have. I understand so far this is the spirit type that requires fasting, prayer and repentence if needed. We must really examine ourselves and weed out anything and everything the enemy has to work with and fill it in with things of the Lord. That's as far as I am on all this. God bless you much in this .. my heart feels your heart. Remember always what the Lord says about you. He loves you.

You may not like this advice, but I hope you can accept it:

The anti-christ is just the Devil. We heal illnesses by the Spirit of God, in the Name of God.

All illnesses always came from the dark spirits of the destroyer.

We are to fear God alone and take authority in the Name of God through the Name of Jesus Christ.

The Devil is not even to be compared to God, the Spirit of God, who heals illnesses and lives in the hearts of true Christians.

If you are horrified by any spirit, then you will not be able to take authority over them.

I think you've misunderstood me.

The anti-christ is just the Devil. We heal illnesses by the Spirit of God, in the Name of God.

I don't believe I said otherwise. The fact remains the antichrist is real. And Jesus, Himself, said some spirits have to be handled with prayer and fasting. So we are to do that when we are to do that. I never said we heal ourself or whatever it is you think I said.

All illnesses always came from the dark spirits of the destroyer.

I believe the spirit of antichrist is just that .. the dark spirit of the devil .. again I never said otherwise.



We are to fear God alone and take authority in the Name of God through the Name of Jesus Christ.

I am absolutely aware of that and I believe I pointed her to the Lord. We still have our part to do.

The Devil is not even to be compared to God, the Spirit of God, who heals illnesses and lives in the hearts of true Christians.

I never once indicated otherwise. I said I was battling with because until I knew what it was I battled it every day. I'm now following the Lord on this. I felt complelled to post so I did. I know who's authority is who's.

If you are horrified by any spirit, then you will not be able to take authority over them.

If you notice I said at first I was horrified .. it's not an easy thing to digest .. at least for some it's not. I never said I was afraid or still horrified. I said I was relieved .. please don't twist my words.[/quote]

You seem to have presumed an awful lot about me. I want to make it perfectly clear. I love my Lord and Saviour. And I'm not naive about any of this. And the Lord can speak to me just as easily as he can you. Please don't assume things about me you don't know. God bless.

No... was just giving praise to God... and pointing out the anti-christ, the Devil, becomes but a man, and dies as a man.

Therefore, the Spirit of Christ we should believe can overcome him or anything less then him -- 'as the heavens are higher then the earth'.

We do this by faith in confidence.

As the verses below show:

Isaiah 14

12 How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
13 You said in your heart,
"I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly,
on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. [c]
14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High."
15 But you are brought down to the grave,
to the depths of the pit.
16 Those who see you stare at you,
they ponder your fate:
"Is this the man who shook the earth
and made kingdoms tremble,
17 the man who made the world a desert,
who overthrew its cities
and would not let his captives go home?"


Ezekiel 28

9 Will you then say, "I am a god,"
in the presence of those who kill you?
You will be but a man, not a god,
in the hands of those who slay you.
10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised
at the hands of foreigners.
I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD.' "

I feel guilty every day over one thing or another, thinking that I have messed up somehow but I don't know how.

The enemy is called the accuser of the brethren. You are being accused. The enemy knows the easiest way to wear you down is by weakening your resolve, your assurance of God's love for you, your conviction of spiritual authority, and your memory of God's grace.

You know the facts.
1. Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. None of these attacks have the right to overcome you. Declare that. The battle depends on God in you, not your own strength or weakness, rightness or unresolved guilt.

2. The price has been paid. Jesus death covered sins once, for all. Guilt has no place in your life, other than the brief moment of conviction before repentance. You are and were forgiven for all.

3. Jesus gave his disciples authority to cast out devils. He sent out seventy followers -- not just the twelve -- into town without any special certification or training. He just told them it was a task that needed to be done.

4. You can resist the devil, and he will flee. Stand firm, in the strength of God's might. Some people find additional strength in fasting, speaking scriptures out loud, and of course prayer. Be firm and resolute. You have the truth in your hands -- test it out.

Try speaking out loud to any spirits that are hovering and attacking. Declare all curses broken.

I find that attacks like this lead people to cower spiritually, want to sleep in the bed of poppies, or spiral into an obsessive-compulsive desire for God's approval. God already said that we are His children, fully redeemed, He will provide and protect. Faith involves agreeing that this is true, even if it's not automatically happening.

In my life, I find that the gap in things working is in how I respond to the attacks. If I wait for God to fix it, nothing happens -- I have to address it directly.

God wants us to be able to do this for other people, to set them free. So it only makes sense that He wants to train us to do it for ourselves first.

Gather up some scriptures that are good for spiritual warfare, and do some proactive resisting. You can. You have every right to, in Him.
