Timing There are certain issues that can only be clarified through the process of time.
In Ecclesiastes 3, the Bible clearly states that “there is time for everything and a season for every activity’. (See Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8)
Therefore it follows that there is need to respect God’s timing, and patiently wait for the cycles to go round again.
Anyways, you can always ask God to supernaturally intervene, and to mercifully cut short the days of affliction.
Since it is God’s prerogative to either suspend time (See Joshua 20:13), or fast forward time, your part is to be persistent and shameless in asking for God’s intervention, as the widow did in Luke 18:1-3.
Furthermore, Like the ‘sons of Issachar’, you need to understand the times and seasons of life. So that you can always know what you ought to do, where, when, and how to do it.
Then, your prayers will be precise and accurate. And you will save yourself and others a lot of stress. (See 1 Chronicles 12:32) Learning Process Basically, humans learn through precepts, information or observation, and personal experiences.
Out of the learning processes, experience takes longer, and is a very bitter teacher.
Anyways, as we pray for others, God intervenes by protecting and patiently guiding them through situations and circumstances that would hitherto have destroyed them.
God allows circumstances and situations (adversities or prosperity), to teach people enduring lessons that they refuse to learn from precepts, information, or through observations.
Due to human nature and several other factors, some people learn fast while others are slow learners. And being a patient teacher, God will allow us to learn at our own pace.
An example is Moses. For 40 years he was learning in Pharaoh’s school as a favored prince.
Due to anger issues, and the non development of leadership qualities, Moses flunked the test. (See Exodus 2:11-15)
God in His infinite mercy did not give up on him. Instead, He changed the school’s location, settings and teachers, even though the curriculum was the same- development of leadership qualities.
Moses, the prince turned fugitive was given a second chance to learn in the school of Jethro, who later became his father in law. (See Exodus 2:16-3:10)
It took Moses another 40 years to even be ready for His divine assignment. And another 40 years to accomplish the assignment.
God had told Abraham that his descendants would be in servitude for 400 years. But due to Moses’ learning challenges, they were captives for 430 years.
Read up all about this in Genesis, Exodus, and Numbers.
Therefore, When praying for the resolution of your issues, remember to pray as well for all the Humans that are involved in it’s resolutions.
Pray that they too will learn their lessons quickly and to quickly yield to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Never forget the Human factor to the answers to prayers. Let us Pray:
Father God, we thank you for the assurances that you will always answer us when we call.
We ask that in your infinite mercies, you touch for a second time, everyone who is linked to the answers to our prayers.
Help them to be quick to understand the assignment, and to quickly do their parts.
We stand against all delays, human weaknesses, as well as interferences by elemental forces.
We affirm that all things are working together for our good, and the timing is right. For we function only in your perfect will for our lives, in Jesus Christ matchless name we pray.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly TheSpiritualWarrior – November 12th 2022
If you can make time to pray, God will answer. Below are some reasons for delayed answers to prayers.
Bible Base:
“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not so short That it cannot save; Nor is His ear so dull That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.”Isaiah 59:1-2 NASB1995)
Negative use of Volition- Freedom to choose
God who is Holy will never violate our freedom of choice. Neither will He condone unholiness and injustices.
When God created humanity, He set boundaries for us. But he allowed us the freedom to choose to either obey or disobey Him. (See Genesis chapters 2-3)
The first humans used their volition in a negative manner and made the human race genetically sinful.
When we make wrong choices, it affects the way our lives work out.
But when we cry out to God in distress, because of the challenging circumstances which were activated by our choices, HE hears us.
However, we cannot continue to sin indiscriminately because Jesus Christ paid for our sins. (See Romans 6:1)
The universe is governed by laws. And though the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made Believers free from the law of sin and death, God expects His children to model His Personalities in this world. (See 1 Peter 2:9)
Though God has heard our heart cries, He patiently awaits our repentance. See how Isaiah says it:
“In repentance and rest you will be saved, In quietness and trust is your strength.” But you were not willing, (Isaiah 30:15 NASB1995)
Although God is Omnipotent, He works with your willingness. He will never violate your free moral rights.
So, as our disobedience is running its course, HE patiently steers us to the place of repentance like the prodigal son. Until we come to the realization that we need to turn away from where we are headed, and turn back to God. (See Romans 8:1-2. Luke 15:11-31)
Repentance is an act of the will that affects our outward actions.
Therefore, if answers to your prayers are not swift in coming, do a Soul search to correct whatever is not aligned to the Word of God.
Jurisdiction and Prayerlessness.
Lack of Jurisdiction:
This world has been given to the Human race to rule.
And God who is Righteous and Just, cannot interfere in our business decisions unless we invite Him, or unless we become a threat to the world and others. (See Genesis 1:26-30 ; Psalm 115:16, 66:7, 46:8-10)
Prayerlessness:
Although God has granted us free will and given us rulership of the world, and would not interfere in our choices, unless it is a general threat to life and the world, He will respond to our cries for help.
He says in His Word,
“Pray to me in time of trouble. I will rescue you, and you will honor me” (Psalm 50:15. Contemporary English Version)
Our prayer is the invitation God needs, to come into our world to help.
Prayer is the only means of communicating with God that He approved. Anything else smacks of occultism.
The more you pray, fellowship or commune with God, the quicker His power shows up in your life to help you.
Friendly reminder:
The prayers God listens to are from those who acknowledge Him as their God and Father. (See Proverbs 15:8b, 28:9, 1 Peter 3:12)
Therefore, you need to connect with God by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. (See Romans 10: 8-10)
Read further to discover how to link up with God correctly, and how to pray effectively.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly TheSpiritualWarrior- November 12, 2022
“So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:34 AMPC)
After Lucifer the archangel’s mutiny was thwarted, he became satan and set up a parallel government to oppose God.
When God recreated the world and created the Humans with better prospects than the angelic race, to which he belongs, satan began to seek insidious ways to make the Human race abominable to God.
Occultism, which is a direct affront on God is one of such ways.
To be involved in any form of occultism is to side with satan against God.
For further clarity on this subject, my book Demons Deactivated1 is the must read. Use any search engines to know where to read or get it.
God is Spirit and seek to be worshiped in Spirit and in truth (See John 4:24)
It’s a violation of His privacy to seek mediumship to help communicate with the spirit world.
Mediums are abominable to God, and all who use them, open up routes for demons to infest them.
His Word clearly says,
“You must not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out, or you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God” (Leviticus 19:31)
Why do people consult mediums…
The first major reason why people consult mediums, spiritists, channellers, etc is because they lack faith in God and do not believe in His Word.
And without faith, no one can please God.
Lack of faith causes anxiety attacks.
In trying to fix the anxiety attacks, most would seek help from those they feel can give them reassurances by fixing their inner fears and spiritual problems.
Those who followed that pathway have fallen into satan’s web of deceit, and also made themselves abominable to God.
“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?” (Matthew 6:25, 27 NLT)
And again God says:
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT)
The second common reason for people’s Occult Involvement is that they feel unworthy to approach God directly through the ordained name of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, they seek intermediaries through things, or persons who they feel can manipulate God on their behalf.
Whereas the Bible tells us, “There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus….” (1 Timothy 2:5)
And God who is infinite in mercy and wisdom, also gave us a HELPER who lives within every Believer known as the Holy Spirit.
“And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.” Romans 8:26-27 NLT
Do you now understand why you really do not need those symbols, mantles, tokens, etc , as an aid of deliverance or help to connect with God?
With the indwelling Holy Spirit, who needs intermediaries?
To deal with the lack of self-worth and rejection syndrome, read Ephesians 1:6, Romans 6:8, John 3:16, and also Jeremiah 31:3 which says
“I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.” (Jeremiah 31:3 NLT)
You are special to God.
The God who created the universe has made your body His temple. He guides you jealousy.
Keep yourself pure and undefiled through occult-involvement.
The third major reason is due to religious doctrines and denominational dogmas.
Here is what the Bible says about them:
“Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God. (Matthew 15:9 NLT)
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (2 Timothy 3:5)
If you are following the dogmas of your denomination that contradicts the Word of God, and you’re born again, you have chosen to side with satan against God.
We all have a responsibility to know God for ourselves by developing our personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Sin is at your door if you reject knowing God by yourself!
Ignorance leads to destruction, whereas, through knowledge shall the just be delivered! God rejects those who reject knowing Him, but rewards those who diligently seek Him
(see Hosea 4:6, Proverbs 11:9b, Hebrews 11:6)
Read also Isaiah 8:19. Deuteronomy 18:9-12, Matthew 6:34, Revelation 21:8
Do Better for you!
You hinder the answers to your prayers when you seek God’s help through unordered means, such as praying to angels, mother Mary, father Joseph, other dead saints.
Or by using rosaries, oil, water, salt, candles, incense, etc as a means in praying to Him.
You really do not need anything or anybody else, other than the name of Jesus Christ.
In reference to Jesus Christ, the Bible says, “…God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11, ESV)
And again in Romans 10:13 the Bible says. for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
(Romans 10:13 NASB1995)
Prayer of Salvation:
You can say this prayer if you are ready to have Jesus Christ save and link you up with Father God.
Say:
Dear Father, thank you for the life, death, resurrection, ascension, and session of Jesus Christ.
Thank you Jesus that you came that I might have life. Despite my sins, you love me to death, you paid for my sins.
Your resurrection brought me eternal life, and your ascension has opened up for me, a new and living way into the presence of God.
Your session at the right hand of God, assures me of your continued intercessions on my behalf.
I hereby accept you Lord Jesus Christ as the Lord of my life. Thank you for forgiving all my sins and restoring me into fellowship with Father God. Praises be to God, I am born again in Jedus name. Amein.
Congratulations on your new birth and new identity as a child of God.
I, your sister Hephzibah, hereby welcome you into the Royal Family of God.
As a child of God, you now can directly access God, by using the name of Jesus Christ to ask anything from Father God
(See Matthew 7:7-8, Mark 11: 24, John 14: 13-14)
Although you can access Bible versions freely online from the internet, one of your best buys and priceless possessions will be to get yourself a hard copy of the Holy Bible.
Christianity is a together-faith and requires that you meet with your other christian-family in their designated place of gatherings/assembly called ‘church’.
Find one in your county, where you can freely interact with others. And you will learn more about how to maintain this new lifestyle of following Jesus Christ called Chrstianity.
If after reading this writing you do not change, see what awaits you
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8 KJV)
It is a fearful thing to fall into the badside of God.
If you have further questions drop it as comments and we will respond accordingly.
From Hephzibah Christly TheSpiritualWarrior- November 12th 2022
Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” Genesis 32:26
I know the verse, “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” James 5:16 I learned it as a kid but learning the words and understanding the meaning can be many decades apart. Jacob wrestled with God until he prevailed. Though his hip gave out in the struggle (the hip being the pivotal source of power for a wrestler), he did not quit. The blessing was of such value to him that nothing dampened the desire.
There are situations that can appear hopeless from a human perspective. Natural evidence begs to prove that nothing is ever going to change, even if I engage my faith. So, I don’t fight the fight and things get worse. The pain of watching everything regress nearly shuts me down. I look ten years older than I am as I wear the cloak of faithlessness like an old bathrobe and camp out in the valley of resignment. Living in hopeless oblivion makes perfect sense to me because I want the striving to cease.
Is this where you are today? You’ve been wrestling with God for a long time over one single thing. The more you pray, the more things seem to decline. To continue to keep your heart alive to hope and faith appears futile. You’re fast approaching the line where quitting pretends to be the smart thing to do. Dreaming is painful. God appears to be cruel as He withholds the blessing you seek.
This is what it is to live in the shadows. And I have. But let me testify that God didn’t let me stay there. His Spirit worked on me, infusing a ‘word’ now and then, and I would poke my head out. So much happened that finally caused me to fight for faith. Was it harder than giving up? Definitely. But let me give a testimony here!
I have seen powerful prayers answered after decades. One breakthrough took twenty-nine years, the other took thirty-seven. Both were glorious. Wrestling was worth it. Prevailing brought the blessing. The result is that I will have greater stamina in the next spiritual battle because I know now not to give up.
Over what issue have you taken hold of God in prayer today? How long have you labored? Hang on. Dig your fingers into the fabric of his robe and don’t let go. Today could be the day He speaks a word and prison bars open wide.
PRAYER:
I value what I learned about myself in the battle and about You most of all. Treasures of the darkness. That’s what You promised and they sparkle in my spirit. Amen you(Daughters of Promise)
In part 2 I will share with you the Testimony of a marriage restored after 12 years of continued prayers. –
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly TheSpiritualWarrior
Our prayer response to this prayer request will help you in confronting similar attacks. Now read on
The Issues: How I know we are under spiritual attacks is because my spouse and our adult kids are facing the exact same workplace problems. They are either short payed or owed payments. And another kid and I are unemployed, and unable to get unemployment benefits. We are Christians, we give our tithes and do other good deeds. It’s causing us concern. Please pray with us.
Response: I understand this is not an easy time for you and your family. However, God is faithful and a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Therefore, dear brethren- calm dowm. Refuse to be agitated because, your present challenges will translate to praises sooner than you envision.
Although the devil is defeated foe, he suffers from selective amnesia. So he often tries to play the children of God by creating false conditions and circumstances, in order to frustrate their faith in God.
But those who know the God they serve, stand strong, and fight him off by countering his moves. They keep declaring what the Word of God says, superimposing it over the presenting circumstances.
Therefore, “Beloved, do not be amazed and bewildered at the fiery ordeal which is taking place to test your quality, as though something strange (unusual and alien to you and your position) were befalling you. But insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, so that when His glory [full of radiance and splendor] is revealed, you may also rejoice with triumph [exultantly]. (1 Peter 4:12-13 AMPC)
From the above scripture verses, it should be clearer to you that the reason the forces of evil are attacking you and yours is because you are not under the yoke of bondage to satan: you are Christians!!! Hallelujah! You belong to God’s Kingdom of Light.!
It is good to know that you are tithers. Now, we are going to weaponize your tithes, and command the devouring demons to get off the finances and economy of your family.
God promises in His Word, that tithers are not subject to the devourer. But instead, their happiness and blessings shall be visible to all. (See Malachi 3: 8-12) This is your testimony!
Let us Pray:
Father God, with a heart full of anticipation, and heaviness due to presenting circumstances, we come before you.
Thank You for Your calming Word of encouragement and comfort that has built up the faith of Your people.
We acknowledge that we erred not knowing the scriptures, and now, we receive the grace of forgiveness of sins, and cleansing from all unrighteousness.
Thank You Father for making us victorious in Jesus Christ.
In unity of faith as your Oracle and Steward of your graces, I stand with this family against the forces of evil that are taking advantage of the current global economic crisis to attack them, through finances, economy, job prospects, workplace and interpersonal relationships, etc.
I command all the aforementioned evil spirits with all their relatives, to back off this family’s finances, economy, job prospects, and relationships, and go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ.
I declare that Jesus Christ became a curse for them, and in Him, this family had entered into the blessings of Abraham.
Therefore, all curses of economic and financial hardships, lack and limitations, frustrating circumstances, indebtedness, double standards, meanness, joblessness, doom, gloom, and related evils, are without jurisdiction over everything that pertains and relates to them.
I proclaim that this family are blessed beyond curses, and all the bans and embargoes on their all-round prosperity are hereby lifted and destroyed.
I proclaim restoration, transformation, unlimited goodness and supernatural favors accrued, are released to you all.
From henceforth, all things are working together for your good. When people are saying there is a casting down, you shall be saying there is a lifting up. For you are linked to the heavenly economic systems, and your testimonies will point others to God’s faithfulness.
Those who despised, cheated, and were mean and wicked to you all, are hereby restless and sleepless until they give back what they stole, withheld or cheated from you all.
From today, you shall no longer be intimidated by agents of the forces of evil. Rather, you shall stand strong and in unity of faith do valiantly.
We proclaim Financial open doors, economic prosperity and supernatural supplies are yours. For the blessings of God that make us rich without sorrow abound to you all in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. Shalom from Hephzibah Christly TheSpiritualWarrior October 3, 2020
This No-vember, according to our picture-post, “When men are cast down…thou shalt say, There is lifting up…”. (See Job 22:29)
Despite all the evil predictions and projections, as well as the satanic agendas being enforced, you will be divinely protected.
You will hear with your ears, and possibly see with your eyes, but NO evil shall come near you and yours, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Since NO-vember is the only month that begins with NO:
boldlyDeclare for you and yours the following’:
NO trials or temptations shall make us weary or faint: for we are born of God, and thus are victorious over the world, and all that is in the world.
NO persons, places or things, shall be able to violate or shame us: for God is our glory and the lifter-up of our heads.
*NO-thing shall by any means hurt us-for we are Divinely empowered to cast out devils and spoil the goods of the strongman.
NO weapons -whether approved, customized, fashioned, formed, formulated, manufactured, or produced against us shall be effective.
NO calamity, catastrophe, or cataclysmic event shall occur in our homes, counties, or communities, for our God is a mighty fortress and He watches over us as HIS most priceless possessions.
NO sickness can prosper in our bodies and souls, and there shall be NO premature deaths in our bloodline. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin, sickness and death.
NO demons can steal our happiness, Kill our joy, or destroy our prospects. For those who are with us are more than those with them, and the Greater-One lives in us.
*NO lacks or limitations shall plague us, for it is God who meets our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
NO debts shall accumulate to us, for we are in the Spirit and not debtors to the flesh, nor can we live according to its sinful desires.
NO demotion, redundancy, stagnancy, or unemploynent shall befall us this month and beyond: for upward and forward is our course in life. Grace and favor are working for us. Therefore, we shall soar with wings as the eagle and continually be the light and salt in our world, snd in the earth, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Once again, Happy new month. Feel free to add more to this declarations. And share eith others as well. Keep living in victory for you are not a victim. Shalom.
