Last night I was praying for a person or two. I don't pray as much as I should because it is really hard when I have chronic stomach/chest pain. I prayed until I just didn't want to any more.
When I stopped a vision or something over my soul came over. It as of hellfire and screaming. I then saw a picture of some sort of demon. I was terrified and thought maybe the Lord was angry at me or giving me a vision of my destiny if I don't pray enough.
I prayed inside my mind telling the devil to leave again and again in Jesus' name. It just didn't seem to work. I then became hot and it seemed to calm down a little. I went to sleep eventually but the feeling of fear I have woke up with.. What was this?
Jesus does not give a spirit of fear to the saints -- James 1.
James 4 says that to be a friend of the world is to be an enemy of God -- James 4:1-7. Don't toy around in the devil's backyard.
So then having turned off the Devil's toys and his entertainment --
When the devil's demons try to crowd in on you - fortify your mind with scripture.
Pray the scriptures don't simply read them to yourself..
Ps 34:7 The angel of the LORD
encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them.
Isaiah 49:25 Surely, thus says the LORD, "Even the captives of the mighty man will be taken away, And t
he prey of the tyrant will be rescued; For I will contend with the one who contends with you, And I will save your sons.
Jer 23:29 "Is not My word like fire?" declares the LORD, "and like a hammer which shatters a rock?
Isaiah 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west and His glory from the rising of the sun.
When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
"You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." 1 John 4:4
Put on the FULL ARMOR
Eph 6 –
Having done everything – stand firm
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual
hosts of wickedness in the heavenly
places. 13
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints
Ps 37:5
Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
Ps 35 Plead
my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me;
Fight against those who fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler,
And stand up for my help.
3 Also draw out the spear,
And
stop those who pursue me.
Say to my soul,
“
I am your salvation.”
4 Let those be put to shame and brought to dishonor
Who seek after my life;
Let those be turned back and brought to confusion
Who plot my hurt.
5
Let them be like chaff before the wind,
And let the angel of the Lord chase them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery,
And let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
7 For without cause they have hidden their net for me
in a pit,
Which they have dug without cause for my life.
8 Let destruction come upon him unexpectedly,
And
let his net that he has hidden catch himself;
Into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord;
It shall rejoice in His salvation.
10 All my bones shall say,
“Lord, who
is like You,
Delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him,
Yes, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?”
