#74 Prayer Focus for Today: Freedom From Mind Controlling spirits:

Bible Base: Ephesians 4:14-15.

“…We are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, Ephesians 4:14‭-‬15 NASB1995 .

What you allow into your mind is what will control you.  Hence the Bible says  – “Do not give the devil a foothold” (Ephesians 4:27)

Just so you know,  If you give the devil a foothold, he will hold you strongly.

Warning:

#SpiritualTherapy: Process your Deliverance.

1). You must be born again: 
In order to engage in these spiritual warfare prayers, and have full coverage of the Blood of Jesus against any satanic reprisals, you must be born again. Read John 3:3-5, 16, 18. Luke 10:19.

1a).Follow these ABC Steps to become Born again:

 *Acknowledge you are a sinner.  

*Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ has paid the price for your sins,  and is now your personal Savior. 

*Confess with your mouth that Jesus died on your behalf,  was buried, resurrected from the dead and you now have eternal life in Him. (Read John 3:3,16,18;  6:23; Romans 5:8; 10:9-10)

2). If you are already born again:

a). Act responsibly and quit blaming your ancestors and everyone else for your present challenges. Because, you are 95% responsible,  while satan and others are 5% to blame.

b).You are responsible to renew the spirit of your mind, and not kep living as an unbeliever by “walking in the vanity of your mind’ (Read Proverbs 28:13;  1 John 1:7-9; Ephesians 4 17)

c). Refuse to engage in mind games: *The mind is the center of your Soul, and your Soul is the seat of your personality(the real you). 

*Your thoughts originate from your mind and control your lifestyle.  Read Proverbs 23:7

*If you fill your mind with the Word of God by engaging in regular Bible Reading,  your thoughts will be fully influenced by God, and will be reflected in your actions.

*However, when you allow *Television, News media etc, to program your mind, you have given satan control over your mind.  And satan’s mission is to steal happiness, killjoy, and destroy Humanity ( Read John 10:10)

d). Therefore,  be intentional in feeding your mind with the things that will add value to your life.

e) Be ready to cast down all imaginations- 2 Corinthians 10:5

How? Even though you cannot stop birds from flying overhead, at least you can stop them from nesting in your hair! 

Therefore, refuse to meditate on anything that will not add value to your life.

3).Believe in God’s faithfulness: 

When those voices start reminding you of your sins,

 a). Refuse to allow that torment. Command them to be silent, for the Blood of Christ is speaking better things on your behalf – Hebrews 12:24

b). Furthermore, counter them with truth that God cannot lie.

c). Believe in your heart and declare 1 John 1:9 which says:

 “If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. 1 John 1:.9.AMP

d).Refuse to feel unworthy, You have been made righteous by what Jesus Christ accomplished.

e). Additionally,  whenever satan throws your sins in your face, counter him with Romans 5:1-2

Know in Whom you have believed and what you should believe.

e). To maintain your deliverance, you must work out your salvation by putting away everything that identifies you to your past before Christ. 

Read Ephesians 4:22-32

f). Aim at developing Christlikeness in worship,  character and service.

Let us pray.

#73 Prayer Focus for Today: Overcome Frustration.

Although frustration starts as an emotion you feel when things don’t go your way, it can quickly become a stressor,  leading to increases in your blood pressure and trigger

other health issues. 

Bible Base: Isaiah 40:27.
 O … how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O… how can you say God ignores your rights? Isaiah 40:27 NLT

The reason is that at the root of frustration are anger, annoyance, anxiety, lack of self confidence, tiredness, thwarted or unrealistic expectations, helplessness, hopelessness, etc.

If you place your confidence in humans, or the establishments run by humans, or rely on your spirituality, beauty, strength, intelligence, connections, age, race, status etc, then you have successfully set yourself up for  frustration.

Which will activate divine curses, and you’ll be vulnerable to demonization. Read Jeremiah 17:5-8

Hence the Bible says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life “ Proverbs 13:12. 

It matters what your expectations are, and on Whom you base these expectations.

If you base your hopes,  aspirations or expectations on God, do the following:

1). Encourage yourself in Who God is. 

“ Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding” Isaiah 40:28 NLT.

2).Exercise self control by controling your emotions (self control is a fruitful of the Holy Spirit, see Galatians 5:22-23) 

Which means you must refuse   to allow frustration, anger, annoyance  etc to get a hold of your mind! Reject it! 

If you give the devil a foothold, he will hold you strongly!

Therefore  you must be intentional to stop or cast down all negative thoughts, and fill your mind with the Word of God that will build up your faith, and strengthen you.

Remember that we overcome by the words of our testimony, and life and death is in the words you say!

3. Remind yourself always that there is a future and a reward for the child of God, and that your hope and expectations will not be cut off. (Proverbs 23:18).

4) Affirm also that God confirms our words and performs our counsel. And the hope of the righteous is gladness. Read Isaiah 46:26, Proverbs 10:28, 1 Peter 1:23.

5) Learn to wait on God – a ‘waiter serves’.  Keep busy knowing that your desires will be granted. Be joyful!

God has perfect timing – He will definitely show up.

And even if God modifies it or delays the manifestation, be rest assured that HE will surely bring your expectations to pass.

6) Learn the reasons and lessons in the troubles, problems or whatever the frustration is. 

The Bible in Hebrews 5:8 says that Jesus learned obedience by what He suffered.

 Don’t ’ waste the experience, so it won’t happen again. 

#SpiritualTherapy : #Deliverance 

*Thank God that you are born of God, more than a conqueror, an overcomer,  and are victorious over the world and the forces of evils. 

*Acknowledge that you were angry at God, frustrated with yourself and felt hopeless at what you are experiencing. 

*Affirm that the Word of faith is in your mouth and you proclaim your Deliverance from frustrations and frustrating circumstances.

*Proclaim that God causes all things to Work together for your good, therefore you refuse to allow frustrations to plague you.

*Command to leave your atmosphere at once, all the forces of evils that are influencing disfavor,  rejection, unplanned spending, financial hardships, accidents, illnesses,  and everything else that triggers the feelings of frustrations.

*Thank God for His supernatural intervention that will realign your life to His perfect will and purposes for you. 

*Proclaim that you are walking in the pathways of righteousness, excellence, productiveness, goodwill, healings, and supernatural favors. 

*Declare that you have a goodly heritage,  for the lines have fallen for you in pleasant places, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

#72 Prayer Focus for Today: The Posterity of the Righteous.

When God called me into the full time Christian Ministry, He met with full resistance from me.

One of the major reasons why I resisted was my inability to trust God with the life of my children.

Then God made me realize that idolizing them would jeopardize them because He is a jealous God, and idols get destroyed.

Needless to say, that encounter with God scared me, and made me to reprioritize.

And for over 30 years since I made that decision, God has never failed me. Instead  He has increased my family, added men as trees to my descendants, and preserved them all from evils.

We have faced numerous challenges, satan and humans have joined forces against us, but we have always come out victorious.

For as it is written, ‘whatsoever is born of God is victorious over the world and the victory that overcomes the world is my faith’ Read 1 John 5:4

Perhaps, you are at a place today, wondering if you can trust God to watch out for your family/descendants. .

Don’t worry, God is faithful!  Learn to trust Him. You are precious to Him and you can never love your children more than He loves them!

 “Know, recognize, and understand therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps covenant and steadfast love and mercy with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations, ”Deuteronomy 7:9, AMPC 

God keeps covenants to a thousand generations, and our opening verse/picture post states that, “the posterity of the righteous will be delivered” Proverbs 11:21

#PrayerPoints4Today:

1). Thank God for all your children, grandchildren, and generations yet unborn.

2). Acknowledge that you have worried more than  you pray over your children, thereby not trusting God with their lives. 

3). Call out the names of your children and hand them over to God, and be assured that whatever is committed to God is safe and secure.

4). Ask God to help you navigate victoriously, all mandatory requirements by the schools,  without putting your children’s future in jeopardy.

5). Pray earnestly from your heart and ask God to preserve your descendants from all the evils in our societies. 

6) Declare that all evil generational trends stops with you and cannot cross generational lines to show up in your posterity.

7) Thank God for the deliverance and protection of your posterity from kidnappings, all forms of slavery, genetic disorders, premature deaths,  hardships, mediocrity and other evils. 

8). Thank God that your posterity are among the generations of those that worship God in spirit and in truth, and with the entirety of their beings, they excell at what they do and will always showcase exemplary conduct, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

#71 Prayer Focus for Today:  Ease, Relief, and Times of Refreshing.

So many are near breaking points. It’s a thin line between going into depression and retaining sanity. 

Let’s just praise in prayers, and give vent to our emotions.

Father, thank you for your peace that surpasses all understanding, your endless loving kindness, and abundance of grace.

We come to you with those things in our heart that only you can see, understand and help with.

And, in accordance with your Word that says, 

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] “ (Matthew 11:28 AMPC),
We ask that you ease off the crushing weight of the burdens on our shoulders,  give us supernatural relief from these stresses, and send us times of Refreshing again.

Heal our hearts O God. 

Heal our finances and relationships.

Help us to navigate our workplaces with peaceful coexistence,  and not get into fruitless political arguments.

Help us O God, show us a token of your love, hold  us Father in your warm embrace, and renew a right spirit within us, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior,  September 20th 2024

#70 Prayer Focus for Today: Overcome Sleep-state paralysis.

People who suffer  sleep attacks feel paralyzed and unable to wade off the attacker or call the name Jesus Christ.

This form of sleep-state attacks occur mostly in those who fill their minds with negatives during the day.

Such as viewing ungodly movies, listening to worldly music, engaging in  unhealthy discussions, etc.

The eyes and ears are an entryway into the soul. What you feed your eyes and ears pollute you and make you vulnerable to spiritual attacks.

The Human is spirit, has a soul and lives in a body.

The spirit is our God consciousness, the Soul is our self consciousness and the body is our world consciousness.

All these components have faculties or senses through which they communicate with God, the self, and the natural world.

However, the human spirit died when Adam sinned. Humanity lost the ability to communicate with God.

God is spirit and desires Spiritual worship and Truth John 4:24

And when you accept the sin sacrifice of Jesus Christ,  the Holy Spirit recreates the human spirit, thus making you a new creature. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

The food of the regenerated spirit is the Word of God (Read Matthew 4:4) 

When you feed your spirit regularly by personal Bible Reading/ study,  and communicate always with God in prayers,  your spirit will be well fed and strong . 

But when you feed your body with all manner of food, and your soul with all negatives, and do not feed your spirit well, the spirit will be weak, and your soul and flesh will dominate you. 

Then the forces of darkness will take advantage of your weakened spirit, and to attack you.

Hence you’ll be semi conscious ( you will know or even see the evil thing) but your body will feel heavy, and you cannot even  fight off the oppressive evil spirit. 

I have had this attack before, so I can relate. I refused to allow a repeat, hence I searched the scriptures and did the needful.

If you strongly desire to overcome your present spiritual condition, read the following scriptures and do what it says: 

John 4:24, Proverbs 20:27, Genesis 2:7, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Romans 8:13, Luke 10:19, 18:1 Colossians 3:16, Galatians 5:22-23.
I know you can do this. Just shut down your TV, leave those addictive reels alone,  put on the breastplate of righteousness and go to war spiritually!

#PrayerPoints4Today:

1). Thank God for the salvation of your soul. 

2). Admit that you have been spiritually delinquent for not reading your Bible to grow in your knowledge of God. Instead, you spend much more time doing other stuff.

3). Read 1 John 1:9, and believe it in your heart and declare that your sins are forgiven, and cleansed of all unrighteousness. 

4). Affirm that you are an indestructible and incorruptible child of God, born of the Word, Spirit-filled and Spirit-led and from today the Word of God gains ascendancy in your life and produces what it says in, and through you to your world.

5). Declare that your consciousness, semi consciousness and deep consciousness are saturated with the power and presence of God and thus cannot be penetrated by evils.

6). Affirm that you are sealed by the Holy Spirit of God which makes you an impenetrable fortress .

7) Declare that in Christ Jesus,  you are seated in heavenly places, far above satan and all his forces of evils. 

8)  Proclaim You are more than conquerors and are victorious over  all spiritual attacks by faith in Christ Jesus (Read 1 John 3:8, 4:4; 5:4)

9). Sing and dance to God. 

Shalom! I join you in celebrating your victory and your new lifestyle, and proclaim that affliction will not come again, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

#69 Prayer Focus for Today: The Greater Light rules the Day.

The Bible says that God made two great lights, but the greater light shall rule the day. (Read Genesis 1:16)

In order for you to rule the day, you have to be the greater light to your world.

God says,  

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

There are good works and dead works, Read Hebrews 6:1, James 2:14-26, Hebrews 9:14).

Good  works point people to how good God is, whereas deadworks point people to how good you are. 

And Christians are to repent from dead works Hebrews 6:1

Which is why Christian giving is different from philanthropy.

There are many who are ‘giving’ to causes and yet are receiving tax cuts for those ‘gifts’. Great. You already received your rewards! So enjoy!

When you are the greater light that rules the Day, your good deeds will point people to God. 

And  God will richly reward your diligence to do His will – Read Hebrews 11:6.

#PrayerPoints4Today:

1). Thank God that you are born again, and that darkness cannot comprehend your light. 

2). Affirm that you have ben born again for good works,  therefore, doing good deeds that honors God is your life work. 

3). Stand against selfishness, hardship, unsuccessfulness, hardheartedness, insensitivity to the needs of others, compassion fatigue and whatever else is frustrating you from doing good work.

4). Declare you are delivered from selfishness, inconsideration, poverty mentality, and all satanic manipulations.

5). Declare that you are a burning 🔥 and shinning light in this generation,  and whatever you do prospers,  for grace and favor will keep working for you,  in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior,  September 18th 2024.

#68 Prayer Focus for Today: Stand against Craftiness.

Bible Base: Job 5:12

“He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise or anything of [lasting] worth.” Job 5:12 AMPC 

Crafty people are human agents of satan.They are easily identified because they portray the characteristics of satan. 

They are skilled at deception, very devious, and are cunning strategists.

Rather unfortunately, many Christians have become their victims, by falling for their skilful deception.

Today, we are going to stand with God for the frustrations of all the devices of the crafty.

#PrayerPoints4Today:

1). Examine yourself whether you are still in the faith of Christianity or a political “partyist”

2. Examine yourself whether you are living by the Holy Book or by your political beliefs.

3. Thank God for  being the Father of lights in whom there is no darkness, deception, or deaths.

4). Admit how you may have allowed the opinions of others to manipulate your beliefs system, instead of living  your life to please God.

5). Ask God to keep working in you both to will and to do His will.

6) Ask for the grace of discernment that will enhance your ability to not fall victim to craftiness.

7. Command all the evil structures and infrastructures that circumvents justice and craftily manipulate people, to implode.

8). Proclaim that God as the Almighty, has supernaturally intervened to frustrate the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise or can they accomplish anything of [lasting] worth.

9). Declare that God has risen for our rescue, and has silenced the rage of the enemy, and from henceforth we and our nation shall enjoy good health, make unprecedented progress, and have peace with prosperity, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior , September 17th 2024

#67 Prayer Focus for Today: To Distinguish between the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.

Many people are under the influence of the spirit of error and don’t even know it. 

The Bible set up the parameters for knowing those who are being led by God’s Spirit of Truth or are being misled  by satan’s spirit of error. 

Those being led by God’s Spirit of Truth are:

a). Children of God. 

b). are learning to know God [progressively to perceive, recognize, and understand God by observation and experience, in order, 

c). to get an ever-clearer knowledge of Him] and

d).  listens to us; 

Whereas, those misled by the spirit of error are 

a). not of God and

b). does not listen or pay attention to us. 

“By this we know (recognize) the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.” Read 1 John 4:6.

Search yourself, and reconsider your affiliations in order to follow God’s Word and do His will.

Obedience to God does not depend on rational thinking or understanding of His moves. 

As Christians, we are not moved by race, gender, economic status, height , etc.

We are moved by the Word of God.

#PrayerPoints4Today:

1).Thank God that you are growing in knowledge, and  perception, and are able to recognize, and understand the ways of God by observation and experience.

2).Thank God for revealing to you an ever-clearer view of His Omniscience.

3). Command the spirit of error, and his relatives such as confusion, deception, premonition, compromise and disobedience, to leave your life, family, and nation,  and proceed to the feet of Jesus Christ. 

4).Command all its strategies,  structures and infrastructures to disintegrate. 

5) Proclaim peace to your nation and people, and call an end to violence, lawlessness, desperation and all satanic responses and attacks.

6). Pray protection over you and family, and thank God for meeting your needs supernaturally, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, September 16th 2024

#66 Prayer Focus for Today: That God crowns the year with goodness.

People of God,  the year is fast spent. Many are still grappling with life threatening issues and economic hardships . 

Let’s  Pray to God from His Word.

Bible Base: Psalm 65: 11-13:

“Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. (Psalm 65:11‭-‬13 KJV)

#prayerPoints4Today:

11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.

1).Prophesy over your life and affairs: proclaim that  there will be supernatural manifestations of God’s goodness,  excellence, promotion, and abundant supplies, as well as the extraordinary manifestations of the powerful presence of God in you, and all that pertains and relates to you. 

12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.

2).Declare that you are blessed beyond measure according to God’s riches, and you function in heavenly economics. 

3).Spend some time to worship God as you pray or sing in tongues. Let conviction flow from you.

#65 Prayer Focus for Today: Overcome Vindictiveness:

Bible Base: Ephesians 4:30- 32.

“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. [ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: ,and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” Ephesians 4:30-32

Vindictiveness is that feeling that is prompted in you to hurt back those who hurt you. 

Vindictiveness which is similar to revenge, originates from an angry, bitter, and unforgiving heart.

Vindictive people are spiteful, manipulative, and hardhearted, which makes them vulnerable to psychosomatic disorders, because their thought patterns are toxic.

According to our opening scriptures, we should aspire to not grieve (offend. vex, or sadden) the Holy Spirit of God. Because if you do, you will no longer have the buffer zone, between you and the forces of evils. Which leaves you open to all kinds of demonic attacks.

Vindictiveness must not play a part in your relationship with others, for it puts you on the wrong side with God.

Until you learn how to forgive quickly, without waiting for apologies,  your feelings will prompt you to take revenge, and open up routes for demonic activities in your life.

The key words for your deliverance today is “forgive easily”.

#PrayerPoints4Today:

1). Be thankful for the grace of prayers and that God hears and answers prayers.

2). Admit all the ways you have been angry, bitter, unforgiving, wrathful, resentful, abusive,  contentious, evil speaking…etc.

3). Affirm that God is faithful and Just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

4). Command to leave at once to the feet of Jesus Christ, all the evil spirits that came into your world as a result of vindictiveness and related evils.

5). Declare that there is no longer any room in your life/world  for bitterness,  indignation,  wrath passion, rage, bad temper,  anger, animosity, quarreling,  brawling,  clamor, contention, slander,  evil speaking, spite, illeill or baseness of any kind. 

6). Proclaim that you are helpful, useful, kind. Tenderhearted, compassionate, understanding   and forgive readily, easily and freely, as God in Christ did for you. 

7. Thank God for internal and external healings, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior. September 14, 2024.
