As this year is drawing to a close, you have to reorder your priorities. The spiritual controls the physical. Before anything happens in the physical realm, it had already happened in the spiritual.
You control the spiritual through a relationship with GOD and Regular Bible study.
Prayer is the acceptable means of communicating with GOD. You ought always to pray and not faint.
You can take back your life at the place of prayer. Start by taking back your prayer life.
Pray yourself into the next year. Give the incoming year instructions. So that the enemy wouldn’t ride roughshod over you. Don’t leave things to chance.

Demonic possession is when demons take possession and are resident in the individual. An example is the mad man of the Gadarenes. (See Luke 8:26-39)
I have been exposed to demon oppression and not to demonic possession as you put it. My answer will bring clarity to the question.
I was born again, way back in 1967. When one is born again, the Holy Spirit of God takes up residence in the individual. A re-creation takes place.(See 2Corinthians 5:17)
Demons are bodiless foul spirits, who seek humans to inhabit.(See Matthew 12:43-45)
The Holy Spirit and the foul spirits cannot co-inhabit a person who is born again, because that individual is no longer under the jurisdiction of the forces of evil. (See 1Corinthians 3:16)
As Bible says, God “…hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son” (See Colossians 1:13)
However, the newly born again individual has to go through the process of unlearning bad behaviours, while learning new ways of living as a Believer in Christ.
During that process, the individual is likely to behave in a manner that can grant evil spirits (demons) access to demonize him/her.
I said all that to say this:
Shortly after I was born again, my mom died. It was very traumatic for me. She fell ill through witchcraft projectiles, while I was away in boarding school.
Before she died, she wrote me a letter that chronicled all she was going through, as well as the names of those responsible.
Both the letter and the news of her death arrived the same day. It was traumatic. All I could think of was revenge.
I wanted to avenge her death so badly that I sought help from the occult world-
spiritualists, diviners, prophets of garment churches, etc. I had an aversion for shamans, I avoided those like the plague.
Before seeking these agents of darkness help with my cause, I talked to my pastor and my Christian friends. They all said, ‘forgive and move on’. That was so annoying.
I felt betrayed by the Christian community.
How can any rational person tell me about forgiveness, when i was hurting, angry, and wanted to murder everyone on the list my mom sent me? Besides, I had no knowledge of the doctrines of forgiveness, and I was a teenager.
I could have gone after these witches and wizards physically, but in that same letter, mom had asked me to please take care of my nine siblings.
My sense of responsibility kept me from going after them physically. So I sought to avenge my mom’s death, spiritually.
Even then, the spiritualists, false prophets, etc that I sought help from, all rejected me. They told me the fire surrounding me was too hot. I had no idea what they were talking about.
In fact, some of the satanists I went to pursued me. They accused me of coming to test their powers. According to them, they were no match for the Spirit they saw in me, and the spirits following me.
It was all so puzzling to me at that time.
Not any more, for I am now aware that He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world. (See 1John 4:4) And that God has given His angels charge over me.
In my quest for revenge, I went into deeper studying of the occult world, in order to occultly kill all those responsible for my mom’s death. I bought books by Lobsang Rampa in order to open the 3rd eye, etc.
Those thoughts and actions made me vulnerable to demonization. My heart attitude opened me up to demonic influences.
The demons, especially the familiar spirits, took advantage of the grief to influence me to be angry and unforgiving. Which degenerated to bitterness and isolation from Godly counsellors.
Familiar spirits are evil spirits resident in families, crossing generational lines. They are familiar with the flaws, weakness, sinful habits etc, and reinforce them appropriately.
Those were dark years.
However, even though I was faithless, God remained faithful, for He cannot deny Himself. (See 2Timothy 2:13) His Holy Spirit did not depart from me, and so the demons could not take over my life.
Although the familiar spirits tried to use learned behavior and ingrained family characteristics to further the causes of satan; God’s faithfulness kept me from the edge of the precipice.
There were certain things I could not do because the little Word of God that I knew, convinced me not to do it.
Can you believe that I delved into kabbalah magic, Hinduism etc. and still kept on reading the Bible, especially the imprecatory Psalms.
Eventually, God lovingly led me back to Him. The road to forgiveness and healing was a very long one for me.
The lessons I learned in occultism comes in handy when I minister to those under the influence of demons, and the demon possessed. Which is proof-positive that,’God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, those who are called according to His purpose.’ (See Romans 8:28)
I have since grown in my Christian walk. Now I counter evil with good and forgive without waiting for apology. I know who I am in Christ.
Important Information
If you are interested in understanding how to live victoriously in this world, search out my book Demons Deactivated1 with any search engine.
Demons Deactivated1 is available from Amazon, Walmart, etc.
“Surely, there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!” (Numbers 23:23)
Witchcraft attacks are aimed at weakening the faith of Christians. Through well orchestrated efforts, these forces of evil, attempt to wear out their victims, by frustrating endeavours.
All this they do in an attempt to make God’s people vulnerable in seeking for, and accepting help from demons and human agents of satan.
Most times, these forces of evil hit at ones areas of weakness.
Illustration:
On their way to the Promised Land, the large entourage of Israelites invoked fear in surrounding nations. So much so that Balak resorted to employing the services of a mercenary spiritualist, Balaam the prophet, to curse them.
In case you are wondering, curses enable failures by activating hardships. Whereas, blessings activate successes with ease.
So, Balak wanted to frustrate the advancement of the Israelite or possibly delete them from existence.
Instead of cursing them, Balaam made prophetic declarations over them, by reaffirming the Word of God that he received.
Nobody, no matter their rankings, statuses or authority, can curse those who are blessed by God!
Incensed by the inability of Balaam to curse them, Balak increased the rewards he promised Balaam.
Although Balaam was under divine restrictions not to curse the Israelites, he circumvented his oaths with God. He showed Balak how to take advantage of sexual immorality in order to breach God’s hedge of protections over His people.
The inability to control sexual urges became the bane of God’s people, and several died, soon after.
Read the story in the Old Testament Book of Numbers.
Scripture cautions Christians to-
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” (1Peter 5:8-9;KJB)
When you are facing unrelenting challenges, which despite all genuine efforts refuse to bulge, or you become accident prone, just know these lowlifes want to drag you to their level.
Don’t go after diviners, channellers, shamans, spiritualists or mediums. They all are related evils.
Instead, stand strong in faith and embark on spiritual warfare prayers to remove both the evil spirits and their human counterparts from your realm.
Adapt the Prophetic Prayer below to your peculiar circumstances.
I #DECLARE TODAY THAT:
* You have overcome every form of witchcraft manipulation, control, domination, projectiles, and bewitchment against your life and destiny.
* No spell, enchantment, divination, jinxes, hexes or hypnotism can prosper against you, and everything that pertains and relates to you.
* Every witchcraft embargo placed upon your advancement in life and ministry, is lifted and destroyed.
* Every witchcraft ban upon your economic status is revoked.
* As the seed of Abraham and heir of all things, and joint heir with Christ, all round prosperity is your portion.
*From henceforth, grace and favor works for you, in Christ Jesus mighty name.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. (Psalm 7:9)
Wickedness is depravity or corruption of heart. A wicked person is evil in disposition, conduct and action.
#warfarePrayer
We repent of all sins that opened us up for wickedness to oppress, vex or intimidate us.
All the evil spirits influencing people to act wickedly against us, are to go at once with their relatives, to the feet of Christ.
We declare an end today to the wickedness of wicked persons that had been directed at our income yielding ventures, family, friends and partners.
With the shield of faith, we resist and disable every attempt of the forces of evil to keep us in economic slavery, through wasteful spending, emotional buying and destruction of important gadgets in our homes, that we are forced to replace.
We proclaim our liberty, for the MASTER has set us free. We walk the preordained pathways of righteousness and affirm that favor and grace are working for us.
As descendants of Abraham and are blessed beyond curses or projectiles of the wicked.
All grace is abounding to us and we have more than enough and are a blessing to others in our world, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
#Day4 #FaithfulGod ” It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. (2Timothy 2:11-13, KJV)
Hallelujah people of God. This is Hephzibah Christly, commandant of Spiritual Warfare and Tactics Squad- SWATS.
Every year, I embark on a 40 day spiritual exercise which starts December 1 and ends January 9 the following year.
During this season, I prayerfully review my life, as I spend time in communion with ABBA DAD. I just worship, pray, do Personal Bible Study with fasting. I also prophetically pray the next year forward.
My Theme for this season is #FaithfulGod.
Were it not for the faithfulness of God, what would have become of us during the plannedemic?
This year 2020 has been exceptionally challenging. Fear of the virus challenged the faith of so many Christians. Although Governments failed us, God faithfully preserved our lives, kept our finances and financiers safe, empowered our businesses and blessed our relationships.
Many people are still not moving forward from where bad policies kept them bound. Many are still in bondage to fear, because the fear of man entrapped them.
But God…
Faith in the Faithful God is our victory.
Let us Pray:
ABBA Dad, thank you for being so faithful. Thank you for preserving our lives. Your protecting presence isolated us from the ongoing confusions in our world.
Lovingly, you have given us the push to the right direction so that we can continue to make progress, even though the forces of evil tried to stagnate and vegetate the world. Your love O God, reaches to the heavens, and your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
In the midst of the storm of the corrupt-virus era, your Divine health manifested; and we never lacked any good thing.
You blessed our bread and our water and took sicknesses from us. Awesome God!
Thank you DAD, in Christ Jesus matchless name we worship.
Have God been faithful to you?
Please tell!
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly #theSpiritualWarrior
