Salvation: Your Victory over satan

Spiritual Warfare is ongoing battle between the forces of evil and the forces of light. The battle is becoming fiercer as the DAY draws closer.

There is no demilitarized zone.

If you are not in the Kingdom of light then you are in the kingdom of darkness.
The choice is made in the here and now-in this life. There is no repentance in the grave.

When you commit to Jesus Christ you are transported from Satan’s domain into God’s kingdom of Light. (Col. 1:13)

Then you are given the authority and power to live in victory over the forces of evil. (Luke 10:19)

If you are ready for the shift from darkness to light, say this #prayer from your heart with your 👄mouth.

For it is with the ♥ heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth 👄 confession is made unto Salvation. (Rom. 10:9-10)

SALVATION PRAYER

Dear Lord God, I admit that I am a sinner. I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ died for my sins and that God raised Him from the dead for my salvation.
I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord of my life from this day. I believe that whoever calls upon the name of the LORD shall be saved. I declare that I am saved

Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for saving my soul. I affirm that I have eternal life, I am saved. I am now born again.

I am now a child of God and no longer a slave to sin, and no longer in the kingdom of darkness.

Thank You Lord Jesus Christ. Amein.

Congratulations. On behalf of the God Head, I welcome you to the Royal family of God.

Your human spirit has just been regenerated. And just as a new born baby needs milk to thrive, you need the milk of God’s Word in order to grow this new spirit to maturity.

Christianity is a together faith.

You need to fellowship with other God’s children in your community.

Find a fellowship center popularly called church, where you can join fellow Christians to worship God, read the Bible and pray together. You will also receive support, encouragement and guidance there.

Do not be ashamed to tell the pastor that you are a new believer.

And if you need something special to discuss,

You can send an email to our mailbox.

Live Above Hostility

Dear friends, I do know it is so hard not to react in a negative manner when confronted by hostiles.

Synonyms of hostility are as follows: antagonism, unfriendliness, bitterness, malice, unkindness, malevolence, spite, spitefulness, rancor, venom, wrath  anger, rancourousness, hatred, aggressiveness, belligerence, bellicosity,  pugnaciousness   warlikeness, militancy, antipathy, ill will, ill feeling, bad feeling, resentment, truculence  aversion, enmity and their relatives

When you react in response to hostility, you are allowing the natural man control you and that makes you a commoner!

Never forget whose child you are. You are a royal priest!

This is what JESUS says about how you should respond to hostile people :
” You have heard that it was said, ‘you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy’. But I say to you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for HE makes HIS sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even tax collectors do so? Therefore, you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect” – Matthew 5:43-48.

You are not a commoner but a Peculiar-supernatural-extraordinary being. Recreated in the image and after the likeness of God.  Bible says,”… as HE is so are we in this world” -1 John 4:17c.

You can change the way you react to the opposition, to hostiles, to nay sayers, to mockers,  abusers, cheaters and to liars-the list is unending, by being Love!

GOD is Love and GOD is Omnipotent!

As a child of , you are a partaker of the Divine nature. If God had responded with wrath when Humanity were yet His enemy, He would not have sent Christ to be the propitiation for our sin.

But while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Therefore, respond in love, confront the forces of evil that are influencing violent reactions against you. But be Reconciled to fellow Humans.

Live the higher life.

Refuse to engage in charismatic witchcraft by praying death over your enemies.

The Word of God says, “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.” – Rev  21:8.

Our combat is not against flesh and blood. Christ has given you authority over all the forces of evil 😈, to bind, cast out, pull down and rule over them. With the assurance that nothing shall by any means harm you – See Luke 10:19.

In addition  He gave us the Word and ministry of reconciliation  thus empowering us to be blessed through being peace making.

Bible says,“17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become New. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him”-1 Corinthians 5:17-21. See also Matthew 5:9.

Spiritual Warfare is a battle for the Soul of Humans between God’s Kingdom of Light and satan’s kingdom of darkness.

If you pray death upon your enemies and they die in their sins are you not a Human agent of the devil 👿?

Whereas, if you arrest the forces of evil 😈 that has blinded the minds of that hostile person, war in prayers for the salvation of his/her soul, you would be functioning in God’s perfect will and fulfilling destiny as a royal 👑 priestt.

And God who rewards labors of love 😍 will richly reward yyo.

Meditate deeply on what you have read

I pray that the eyes of your understanding be enlightened  So that you will know the hope to which God has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, in Christ precious name, Amein.

Shalom!

Deliverance Prayer Points :

* Thank God for how far you have come.

*Ask forgiveness for your mishandling of hostility and all your negative reactions.

*Forgive all who  have been hostile to you. Release them in your heart. Remember, if you don’t forgive  you frustrate the grace of God – you too won’t be forgiven – read what Mark wrote for you –

“when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses”-Mark 11:25

*Command the forces of evil 😈 that are influencing hostilities against you, to stop now and be gone to the feet of Jesus Christ.

*Call out hostility and all its synonyms and relatives to get out of your life and relationships and go to the feet of Jesus Christ.

*Declare that all the works of the devil against you are destroyed.

*Affirm that the love of God inform and influences all your relationships from now.

*Declare that people accept, appreciate, and treat you with respect and honor from now onwards.

Thank God for the new life and graceful experiences of the new life in Christ

Shalom!

Destroy that Occult ban on your Faith 

Do you experience difficulty in reading your bible, praying and attending church fellowship? You might be under an occult ban that is frustrating your faith.
The word occult is derived from the Latin word occultus: which means clandestine, hidden, secret, dark, mysterious, concealed.

The word Occult is used to describe those phenomena that transcend or seem to transcend the world of the five senses.

Occult involvement would either destroy your faith in Christ or prevent it from growing. It is not because occultism is stronger than Christianity, but because occult involvement is an act of disobedience against God’s Word.

Occult involvement destroys the hedge of protection.

In the Book Occult Bondage and Deliverance, Kurt Koch explained that Occultism has three main divisions which are Fortune-telling: Spiritism: Magic

  • Fortune-Telling: This includes the use of the pendulum and a rod known as radiasthesia: Psychometry-clairvoyance: Astrology (horoscope reading,astromatic and cosmobiology): Card-laying: Palmistry.
  • Spiritism: includes necromancy and spirit communication.

When you allow yourself to be enticed into reading your horoscopes, you open yourself up for demon activity.

The first sign that you are under an occult ban is when you have difficulty in praying, reading the Bible or attending fellowship!l

You would have a strong desire to do the above but you just can’t.

Trace back to what you have been reading or watching and who you have been relating with.

Having occult related objects in your home or office can produce the same effect as well.

Occult involvement places a ban on faith- whether you know you are involved or not.

An occultist can also project against you by making enchantment, casting of spells or by incantations.

Some of these projections enable these human agents of the devil enter your realm, in order to afflict with sicknesses.

I remember instances when people have recounted to me that while they are in a trance-like state, they see a black shape bend over them or move around their homes. And they feel powerless to speak or to rise up against such an evil presence.

Some people have been sexually assaulted or physically abused by such evil presence.

When an occult ban is placed on your faith, you become easy prey for the enemy. Because your prayer life and Study life will decline considerably : thereby reducing your spiritual covering.

The Word of God is as a consuming fire 🔥 and crushing hammer 🛠. The Word of God is our weapon 🔫 of warfare. Without the Word richly dwelling in you, you have no weapon to war against satan’s evil projections. Hence the occult world would firstly incapacitate you by placing a ban on your faith-your prayer and study life.

Without faith you can’t please God.

Faith comes by hearing /reading the Word of God .

Faith is the victory that overcomes the world!!!!

People perish because of ignorance but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. Now you know.

Now is the time to go on the offensive and be delivered.

Firstly, go through your house and clothing and takeout anything that agitates your spirit.

Occult objects are easy to identify. Your spirit will be averse to it. You may not see anything wrong with it but you would seem to have questions about it. Burn them up.

#Prayer

I Stand in agreement with you against every ban placed on your faith by your ignorant involvement with occultism.

In unity of faith, we ask forgiveness from God for all occult involvement. We plead the blood of Christ for forgiveness, cleansing and restoration.

I release upon you now, the anointing of God’s Spirit that brings zeal for God to consume your whole being in Jesus Christ Holy name.

Every agent of darkness projecting against you is hereby prohibited and blinded, both spiritually and physically.

All the works of darkness that gave access to the forces of evil are hereby destroyed by Holy fire 🔥.

The anointing of the Holy Spirit destroys the occult ban on your faith now. You are free. Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Grow in faith. Grow in grace. Be victorious in Jesus name

Overcome Sleep – state Oppression

The devil is a malignant and virulent foe who is constantly seeking ways to oppress, intimidate, manipulate, vex, torment, possess, obsess and control humans.

But as formidable as the devil 👿 is, he has no power over the Believer, for Christ has given you the Believer dominion over the world.

The Believer’s world dominion include dominion over satan, the prince of the world.

But rather unfortunately, like Adam back at the Garden, some Believers ignorantly give Satan the right to demonize them.

Unless you give him the right, Satan has no right to launch any attack against you.

In order to foil his illegal attacks, the Scriptures says you should be Vigilant and sober because your adversary the devil is going about like a roaring lion 🦁 seeking whom he may devour (See 1 Peter 5:8).

And we are also commanded to “resist the devil 👿 ” by being steadfast in faith. Faith in God is our victory over the devil and the world 🗺 (See 1John 5:4)

If you sincerely desire to overcome and stay above such satanic attacks, you would need to act in faith.

Faith is active.

You have to declare and act out your faith.

If you need to stop the attacks from degenerating – that is from getting worse, you need to apply the following principles :

1. Do a spiritual diagnostics to identify and repent of any hidden or unconfessed sin. Pray as the Psalmist prayed as follows :
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.” (Psalm 139 : 23 – 24: NLT)

Although Sin is the major open door for demonization, Christ Jesus our Redeemer has Ridded us of sins power. Therefore, sin no longer has dominion over us.

And just in case you are wondering, Demonization simply means ‘to be influenced’ or ‘be under under the power of demons’. It is derived from the word ‘daimonizomai’ translated ‘vexed’, in Matthew 15:22.

2. Accept Forgiveness for all sins in accordance with 1John 1:9. Which means you need to Confront that unconfessed sin in your life. We cannot continue in sin and expect grace to abound. (See Romans 6:1)

1John 5:17 defines what sin is. After confession of sins, Refuse to allow satan plague you by a guilt-ridden conscience. Bible says even if our conscience condem us, God is greater than our conscience. (See1John3:20)

Which brings to mind the lyrics of a song:

“I’ve been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, saved and sanctified I am. All my sins are washed away, I’ve been redeemed.”-anonymous

3. Command every voice of accusations against you to be silenced because the speaking blood of Christ is speaking righteousness in your favor.

4. Affirm you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and victorious over the world and over the Prince of the world by your faith in Christ JESUS.

5.command all evil spirits that breached your perimeter to go away with their relatives now.

6. AFFIRM Christ has destroyed the works of the devil and none can ever prosper against you again.( See 1 John 3:8)

7. Declared all doors are shut against all forces of evil and that angels on assignment are guarding you in order to Frustrate any further security breach.

8. Speak peace over your spirit, soul and body by affirming that the peace of God that transcends all understanding is guarding wholly.

9. Declare the doors of economic prosperity are opened up for you and all things are working for your good as A lover and the called of God.

10. Thank God for leading you in victory and cleansing you from every unrighteousness and for establishing you as a praise upon the earth.

11. Find a Christian church group in your community where you can attend regular fellowship with other Believers.

You need to understand that even though you have “to work out your own salvation” (See Philippians 2:12): “Christianity is a together – faith”. You need other Believers as much as they also need you.

In a Christian fellowship, you will come under a corporate anointing and no yoke can come on you. You will be under constant the prayer-covering of the people of God.

You can’t afford to be a lone – wolf that is always at risk.

12. Be relevant in what God is doing in the world 🗺 today. Share your testimonies. Volunteer on church and in your community outreaches. Be a blessing to the world. Touch lives positively for Christ.

13. Grow in grace and in faith. Read and study your Bible daily.

14. Be prayer – full. Develop your intimacy with God. Constantly talk with God. Have a ‘me – alone – with-God time. I bless you this day and declare that you are victorious.

Watch out for my books that are powerful teaching tools to disable demons. GOD bless you and your family.

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly

All Things are Become New 2

In order to translate spiritual realities into my present experience, I have to affirm the Word of God that speaks to my situation or condition.
The children of Israel received Word from God that pointed them to the direction they should go.

If they had followed divine directives, they would have entered into their inheritance effortlessly.

But sad to say, they disobeyed. Which resulted in untold hardships and eventual death of the rebellious generation.

But rejection of God’s Word or plan can become an accepted, ingrained tradition of a family or nation.

Down the line, the children of the generation who had perished continued to follow the evil pattern of their progenitors.

So they also could not fully enter into the ‘new beginnings’ of rest, that God so desired for them.

The bane of the Israelites was unbelief.

“Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief”(Hebrews 4:11)

In every Word from God, there is God’s part and My part.

This new year, God’s Word has come to me declaring: “New Beginnings”. This declaration is for all who will believe and act upon the Word of God.

It is not enough to just hear or read these Words. I have to make it God’s Word to me. I have to Personalize it.

I also have to make every effort (or “labour” as the King James version puts it- Heb 4:11) to enter into the New Beginnings God has given me.

I will also continuously affirm “I have a new lease of life” whenever the old status quo tries to force its way back into my reality.

I definitely will not allow the devil 👿 and the cohorts of hell steal my joy.

In accordance with Philippians 2:12, I will work out my Deliverance with reverential fear.

I acknowledge that I need God’s help to enter into my inheritance. Of myself I can do nothing but I can do all things through Christ my strength.

Therefore, I cannot just sit back and do nothing under the guise of ‘am faithing it’. The evidence of faith is in my corresponding actions.

God has done His part. I must do my part and walk in obedience to his Word. I refuse to leave things to chance or happenstance. I must be intentional in all I do for I have been given dominion and I have self – control.

Even though demons believe that God exists, they do nothing to change their state of disobedience.

I am God’s priceless possession and must subject me to the transforming power of God’s Word.

Daily, I conform to God’s Word and transform my world with the Word.

I hold on to God’s Word to me this season as my weapon of offence against the old order of failure, fear, rejection, low self-concept, ancestral yokes and bondages, economic problems, health problems and relationship issues as well as all those other negatives that plagued me in the past.

I boldly lose them from me. I declare they are passed away from me, my bloodline and descendants.

After today, I refuse to acknowledge or accommodate them.

It is not denial but a working out of my salvation (deliverance) and staying focused on the goal.

I believe that God has granted me rest from all my troubles: therefore, I inherit the covenant blessings of Abraham:

I affirm that real estate and stability comes to me and to as many that are connected and related to me.

I proclaim my descendants are seeds of the righteous and are therefore righteous.

I declare that Wickedness and meanness are ultimately cut off from my bloodlines.

The reproach of sin, learned evil behaviors, ingrained evil family patterns and characteristics, as well as the constant struggle with negative volition are rolled away from us today.

The exaltation of righteousness is upon us and our families. We manifest the glory of God.

I affirm that the blessings of God that makes rich and adds no sorrow abound GT to us. We are a blessing to all nations.

We define righteous prosperity and enduring riches to God’s glory.

All voices of accusations are silenced. Only the speaking blood of Christ Jesus speaks on our behalf.

I affirm that Christ has blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and has taken it out of the way, nailing it to his cross (Colossians 2:14).

I proclaim liberty, forgiveness, restoration to greater glory, peace and joy.

No curse can alight on us for Christ has been made a curse for us.

All things are become New: we receive new insights, new ideas and new concepts. We are creative and endowed with the spirit of excellence.

This new year is a win-win situation for us. Thank you God for enlightening the eyes of our understanding in Jesus glorious name. Amein.

“All things are become New” 

Affirm your new beginnings:

  Let’s look at 2 scripture verses that will drive the point home :
1.” Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43 :19) 

2 .”Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

The promises of God are Yeah and Amen. They are true and absolutely dependable.
The scripture from Isaiah is a Prophetic utterance pointing to a future event. 

Whereas the 2 Corinthians scripture Testifies to an accomplished fact. 

The person who is holding unto Isaiah’s prophesy  is way behind the one who affirms the finished Work of the Cross. 

You Can translate the promises of God to your reality simply by affirmation. 

Affirmation is synonymous to declaration, proclamation, assertion, pronouncement and statement. 
What you believe, you should also declare with your mouth. 

It’s just like when you got born again.

 You believed in your heart the Word of faith which you heard. It may have been spoken in a church meeting, or via the mainstream or social media. But you received it in your heart. You accepted it. You believed it. That is the defining factor. 

What you heard with your ears, you believed in your heart.

According to Romans 10:10: “with the heart one believes unto righteousness”. 

When you believed in the Lord Jesus Christ in your heart you placed your life in His hands. You gave your life to Him and thus you got lifted up in Him: far above principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, thrones, dominions, curses, yokes – whether they be ancestral or whatever.

 You got repositioned by your faith in Christ Jesus.

 A change occurred in your life in the spirit realm. You may not look like it or even realize it, but you are no longer the mere, mean and inconsequential you. You have become a child of the most high God-His priceless possession. 

In order for the spiritual to manifest in your physical reality, you’ve got to get your mouth to work for you. 

In order to understand that principle, let’s take a look at the second part of Romans 10:10 which says – “with the mouth confession is made unto salvation ”. 

Another word for salvation is deliverance. 

It is with your mouth that you declare your deliverance.

 You do that by making pronouncements of what you have believed in your heart: the things that  Christ has accomplished for you. 

 You say what the Word says about your condition and not the presenting situation or condition. 

You make God’s Word your own. 

From then on, It’s no longer a promise of “behold I will do a new thing” as per Isaiah’s prophesy: but a declaration of what you believe that: ‘‘behold, all things are become new” as per your New Status as a redeemed child of God. 

The fulfillment of the Old Testament is in the New Testament. 

In Genesis, we are told that God created two lights. The Greater light – the sun, rules the day. While the lesser light- the  moon, rules the night.

The scriptures contains both lesser and higher Truths as well. Although both are Truths, it’s the higher truth that rules the day, while the lesser truth rules the night. 

For those who believe in Christ Jesus, the promises of God is a done deal. Christ has made it ours in Him. That is the higher Truth. 
Until you appropriate and affirm the things Christ accomplished for you, you will continue to recycle old problems, while awaiting the fulfillment of God’s promises. 

Ignorance causes people to suffer unnecessarily. Pray for spiritual enlightenment. Without foresight /vision, people perish. 

Get knowledge. Get understanding. Christ has been made wisdom for Believers. Study your Bible daily. Illumination will occur. And you will make unprecedented progress. 

The Good News is that the old is passed away and behold all things are become new. 
Ignorance has kept us in bondage long enough. 

Through knowledge the just is delivered. 

Today is your day of deliverance. No way are you going into the incoming year with the same mental attitude that kept you bound to fear of the unknown. 

We are making progress – upward and forward is our course. 

We are not of them who look back to perdition. We are the righteous who live by faith. 

Hebrews 10:38-39- (Common English Bible) says: “We aren’t the sort of people who timidly draw back and end up being destroyed. We’re the sort of people who have faith so that our whole beings are preserved.”
We are the righteous ones. Our faith in God made us right with God, – Reread Romans 10:10.

As you go into the new year, determine to live by faith and not by fear. 

Be bold. Be brave. 

The righteous are lion-bold. 

Timidity has no place in our nature. The nature of the Believer is boldness, bravery and excellence. Because the Greater One lives in us

The reason some believers are disadvantaged, underutilized, sidelined, marginalized etc is because their mind is set to fear instead of it being set to faith. 

Faith is loud. It’s bold. It makes a statement.

 Faith declares – it affirms what the Word says about any given situation. 

I present to you, 2018 the year of New Beginnings (Things). Glory be to God. 

Take a minute to review your past and give God praise for how far HE has brought you. 

Then start giving 2018 instructions. Manifest your sonship because all creation is waiting for the manifestations of the sons of God who you are. 

Call out light from darkness. 2018 will be what you call it. God bless you 

Hephzibah Christly

Your Changed Life is our Testimony

pray influence

Shalom. Good to have you with us herein. Thank you for partnering with us through your comments etc. For as Scripture says; “He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building“. (1 Cor.3:8,9)

We are taking this time to say thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve God by serving you. We may not say so often enough, but WE DO LOVE YOU.

Your emails, comments, shares, inbox- counseling, and prayer request, made great impact in our lives. They enabled our resolve to continue feeding you, through our various social media platforms with life-changing content. God bless you all. Thank you for reading and acting on the Word of God from us.

We rejoice that we have not labored among you in vain

Christianity is a “together faith”. We are interdependent upon each other. As much as we have been blessing you, we ask that you pray for us also so that together, we can do better next year.

You will all testify that we have never solicited from any of you for financial support for the operation of our facebook Page “Spiritual Warfare And Tactics Squad-SWATS” . Nor have we solicited finances from you for any of our numerous pages and groups that are on social media, even though it costs us time and money to be online. This is because we are a “Faith and Love based ministry” and we absolutely rely on God to channel His provisions to us through whoever HE chooses. And over the years, HE has faithfully raised Consistent Partners for us and thus we have not burdened you. Our faith is in the God who meet needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. And, He has never failed us.

But now we are asking prayers from you. Is that too much to ask? But if you think we are asking too much, you can let it be. But then, you will not be fellow-working with God who says to pray for one another. Then the Holy Spirit will continue to pray for us because God will not leave us comfortless and without hope. But then, you would have lost the opportunity of sharing in our reward both here and in the hereafter. Please know that God rewards diligence.

Please Pray for us:

pray for us

We are giving you this opportunity to bless us also through your prayers by the following prayer points.

Please pray for our :

* MINISTRY PARTNERS, their families and their various interests and economic pursuits-for the multiplier effect to be upon them and for God’s favor to increase mightily upon them.

*ADMINS of this page especially those who have consistently been posting and feeding your spirit and soul with God’s undiluted truth. Ask God to grant them more grace and meet them at the point of their needs. Some are really facing challenges in the line of duty as spiritual warfare strategists. We do not share our problems so as not to weaken your faith: instead, we share our testimonies to build up your faith. Please pray for us all. We covet your prayers.

*pray for our major Facebook PAGE- Spiritual Warfare And Tactics Squad-SWATS we are currently 5000+ strong: but we can reach more people who need deliverance especially at a time like this that the devil has gone really virulent. We need God to touch people to BOOST our posts. Because we are not able to pay for facebook adverts, most of our posts do not reach our audience: facebook limits our reach. We are also not able to upgrade our subscriptions with WordPress. and our blog posts are not impacting lives as we desire. It has been a great barrier, but we do know it can be removed with God’s intervention when He raises people who will commit to sponsoring those outreaches with us.

pray always dont get discouraged

*pray for ‘You’ Our Page family and for all who read our posts and blogs worldwide: We need God to move more in their lives this coming year so they can live meaningful lives and overcome their challenges. You are all precious to God and to us. As our opening scripture states; “you are God’s field, God’s building” . As you are praying this prayer request:

my prayer for you future

We Pray For You – that God’s Word does what it says in your life and family: that you all become the definition of righteousness, prosperity, excellence and victorious living. As we move to the new year we decree that your lifestyle will become effective witnesses of God’s grace. We release into your lives more grace and peace as well as the multiplier effect upon your finances. We speak healing, deliverance and spiritual growth over your lives. Receive the grace to breakthrough and to excel and to stand out, in Christ’s powerful name.

Please pray for one another. Pray over prayer requests when we post them. That way you are partnering with God and with us.

pray for your pastors always

*Pray for me Hephzibah Christly: by God’s grace I’m a pioneering missionary and it’s been God’s grace upon grace that has kept me strong and going forward. I am in my early sixties and am truly thankful for Divine health, sustaining grace and unlimited goodness. God has brought me a long way. I look back with gratitude and I Look forward with faith love and hope. I have not attained yet, but I am reaching forward for the prize of the high calling of God. I need you all to stand with me and The SWATSquad in prayer and for the following realms of my life.

a. FAMILY: Please lift up all who are my children by birth, marriage, and faith; as well as my numerous grandchildren, my siblings, and their families. Several times the devil sifted me by attacking my family, but God’s mercy prevailed. As I am going back into the frontline of missions in 2018, I need your prayers to shield them from the virulent attacks of the enemy so that I won’t be distracted from my set course. 2016, we had a death, 2017 we had a near death experience. No longer shall we cast our young ever again.

My family has been my main financial support network in this work of ministry. Please bless their economy and relationships. Thank you.

b. MISSIONS (to rural communities) and the various INTERNET ministries on social media that God led me to pioneer: Pray for more involvement by the Admins and Associates. I have a mission to reach the hurting, troubled demonized and deviant persons with the love of God. I have been doing that full time since 1994. We are asking God for more grace, direction, guidance and more financial partners to sponsor the following outreaches: Hope Hall Residential Therapy Center, Scholarship for disadvantaged students; A Safe-house for victims of Abuse/domestic Violence; a skill development/vocational training center for economic empowerment and A Feeding outlet where the Homeless can get at least one meal a day. These are burdens in my heart for the coming years. Please stand with me in prayers so we can be efficient and effective.

me dear lord grant me

c. please pray for ME – as an individual, I do have needs. Even though I have all I need, I do have an unspoken request which God is already processing. Join me to ask God to be a little later than late. I am asking also for supernatural favors, unlimited goodness and more open doors for ministry outreach and for God to bless my relationships and remove mean and wicked persons from me. Let God perfect all that concerns me. Thank you for your prayers.

That has been quite a long list. But I do know you will take time to remember us in your prayers. You will be the first to enjoy the answers to these prayers because it’s how it works. It is a Biblical principle that: “ The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.“ (2 Timothy 2:6)

faith rest on CHRIST

I already started a periodic/seasonal partial fast from December 1-January 9 (40 days). You can join me as well as send in your prayer requests. Read my blog post from @spiritualwarrior2016.wordpress.com entittled “Holiday Trauma Turned Testimony- ADVANCING ” for more details.

Be rest assured that you are entering into a NEW BEGINNING.

Shalom. Yours in the King’s Service,

Break The Circle of Adversities  

Break The Circle of Adversities  

victory faith bringsIt just dawned on me that this season last year was characterized by negatives. I was assailed on all fronts. Bad things happened to my family, friends and me.

It was a well orchestrated attack from the pit of hell.

It was likr Job’s situation. Anywhere I turned, it was bad news. I felt so alone, oppressed, dejected and caged-in.  It was a horrible experience.

It stopped when I turned the searchlight inwards. I cried out to God for help and asked for spiritual reinforcements.

I examined myself whether I was still in  the faith. I explored all avenues in order to locate the security breach. What had opened the door to allow so much demonic activity against me? What had made me so vulnerable?

Twas then I discovered anger, resentment and unforgiveness.

Even though my anger was justified, I was nursing it and it gave room for resentment and its relatives to come into my realm of existence.

The battle turned in my favor when  I forgave all unconditionally.

I chose to let go the right to be angry. I humbled myself,  made peace with everyone and set boundaries that kept away toxic people from polluting my mind.

After which I  launched out in spiritual warfare against the forces of evil influencing the persecution and resultant adversity. As soon as tackled it spiritually, peace,  progress and prosperity  came into play.

Then about the same season this year, a similar situation began to happen. But the root cause was not anger this time.

Bad news kept coming from everywhere.

Then it dawned on me that the old Serpent was up to his old tricks again. He was looking both for attention and for whom to devour.

The attack this year was indirectly against me. He went after my adult children. And thus got to me.

After touching home-base with ABBA in prayer, I quickly kicked the devil and his demons out! And went into intercession for my family.

What happened? It almost caught me off guard! This attack came when I least expected it.

I was in repose.

Soldiers are always at alert even while on vacation. This song came to mind :

“Christian seek not yet repose,

Hear thy guardian angel say,

Thou art in the midst of foes, 

Watch and pray.” 

The devil is going about seeking for who to devour. We are to resist him by being steadfast in faith.

We are in a war dear friends. We are to be constantly at alert. The devil is a malignant foe. Even while resting, we are to be watchful.

But for the grace of God, the devil would have dealt me a fatal blow. But glory be to the Holy Spirit who made me groan with words that could not be uttermed

I travailed in prayers and prevailed.

What about you.?
What are those troubles that are recycling against you? Break the circle today.

You’ve got to identify the trend and confront them in order to overcome them.

One thing I can tell you is that my next year will definitely be better than this year. I’m moving forward victoriously. I have given myself over to fasting, prayers and searching of the scriptures in order to line up my life to Biblical truths.

And I am praying more for my family than before. I pray for their spiritual growth. They have to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Savior Jesus Christ.

It is not enough that they are born again. They have to be growing and active in the faith.

A growing Christian is a moving target and moving targets are not easy to get down.

The lessons in these recurring afflictions have been learned. Even though the process of learning was painful but it was productive.

We are sealed by the Holy Spirit, therefore no room for similar occurrences next seasons. Glory be to God.

Be wise my friends.
Be aware of what is going on in your life. Confront adverse situations and circumstances. Make them line up with God’s Word.

It is God’s wish that your spirit, soul and body, prospers and be in health.

Remember also that HE causes all things to work together for the good of them that love Him and who are the called according to His purpose.

If you are born again, then that means you.

But if you are not born again simply Acknowledge that you need Jesus Christ to come into your life and save you.

 Believe  in your heart that He died in your  place and rose again from the dead

Confess with your mouth what you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and you shall be saved.

 Let us Pray 

Thank You ABBA for the entrance of your Word that has brought light and understanding to our souls

We receive your salvation, healing, deliverance and prosperity in Jesus mighty name.

We also receive your intervention in our present situations  and circumstances: and affirm that you have caused all things to work together for our good, in Jesus Christ matchless name.

We declare that affliction will not come again. We grow in grace and we also rightly apply Biblical Truths to our Realities.  Amein.

The Process of my Deliverance 

fb_img_1503667288217517429303.jpgResist, Persist, and Proclaim your victory.

Dear friend let me share with you how GOD enabled me to deal with unrelenting issues and demons on assignment. My ancestry was plagued with various issues ranging from islamism, occultism, idolatry and religiosity which resulted in curses as well as personality, psychosomatic and genetic disorders.  Including so many other issues which tormented me, until I realized my  rights as a BELIEVER- the ‘born again child of GOD’!

I began to ‘work-out’ my salvation!

If Christ has ‘delivered’ me from the power of darkness why then should I be ‘demoned’ as in being tormented, oppressed, manipulated, controlled/influenced by forces beyond my control?

Why was it that after I became empowered to become a child of GOD, my biological genetic issues continued to manifest?

These and many other questions I wrestled with and found the answers in the Bible!

I discovered that humans operate in 3 realms of existence – spiritual, soulical and physical.

When you get born again, the spirit is reborn and fellowship with GOD is initiated.

When the spirit man controls the soul and body, one would enjoy peace and harmony.

But the issue is that the ‘reborn spirit’ is a baby that needs to be fed and nourished by Bible Doctrines before it can rule over the soul and body!!!

Though I was reborn from above, I was a soulish and carnal Christian. My spirit was underdeveloped and  undernourished.

But my soul was being fed pollutants through my body. I was not of the world but was dominated by the world’s ideologies and beliefs.
The things I wanted to do, I could not and I did things I did not want to do, because my spirit was weak and suffering from malnutrition!

The food of the spirit is the Word of God – Bible Doctrines!

My spirit lacked Bible Doctrines and my soul and body was feeding well off worldly principles which informed my thoughts and behavioral patterns.  And thus allowed  demons re-entry into my world! I was in the scenario Christ described in Matthew 12;43-45  which states :
43″Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it. 44″Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came’; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order. 45″Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.”

So you see my friend, the demons left when i got ‘reborn’ but my evil life style gave them access  into my world.  Then they reinforced their perimeter by inviting more malevolent demons to join them to accomplish mission -‘Kill, steal and destroy’.

My situation got worse after I got born again and worst when I got into Christian ministry. Because my lifestyle was attracting demon activity.

Am being real here.
You need to  know  that unless you change your lifestyle to reflect your Christianity, things would get worse  before it can ever get better.

Don’t give up!
Work out your salvation/deliverance. The demon hordes may get more virulent. You must get more determined to live above them in Christ Jesus.

It’s a mind game

Satan is already a defeated foe.

But you have to do some soul-searching to isolate whatever is attracting demon-activity and the resultant negatives you are experiencing in your circumstances.

Ironically, When I had my issues, I blamed everybody blame-able for my challenges! I never saw me as being the issue!

My body and soul were in a power tussle. The lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life dominated my sensibilities! My eyes were feeding my soul all manner of evils: because I watched wrong television programs and read wrong books.

In my quest for knowledge,  I read all manner of books- from romantic novels, crime, Lopsa Rampa / eastern religious books.

Worst still, I dabbled into the occult. I had kabbala books of magic as well as other occult materials. I got into spiritism and spiritualism and other negative spiritual activity. I was into the occult big-time in the pursuit knowledge. I also wanted  answers to the questions tormenting my soul.

My ears too actively participated on opening my soul to torment through the kind of music I listened. The wrong kind of music  fed my soul more evils to work work with.

I was addicted to reggae, afro-juju, afro-rock, and  hard Rock etc.

My ears  received and fed my soul and my mind processed it all and out of the fullness of my heart my mouth spake -NEGATIVES- curses, swear words etc.

In my counseling ministry, the hardest people to work with are the ‘know it all’s’
They know the Bible cover to cover but to no profit.. They get very argumentative and I let them be because they still have options. When they exhaust all options, they would be well positioned to ‘work out their salvation’.

I was once like that, I could recite the psalms by rote because of my ‘religious’ upbringing.

I had head knowledge of the the Bible. But my spirit did not benefit from such head knowledge. And thus it was malnourished.

But my soul and body were well-fed: My malnourished spirit was no match for my well fed soul and body. Because my spirit was in a weakened state, it had no control over my soul and body. And the war raged for dominance.

That situation made me very prone to demon attacks  And the demons had a field day. They took advantage of my carnality and plagued me with all manner of evils: Until by God’s grace, I came to myself. I cried out to Christ the Ultimate deliverer.

Then Realization hit me.

I got dissatisfied with the status quo!

I desired a change. The torment, the recycling of problems and downward trends  had to end!

I needed to make progress.
Then again I called out to GOD for mercy.
One of my favorite prayer then was ‘GOD please help me, am tired’.

Things did not just change by fiat!
But the process of Deliverance or change began with my full participation and cooperation.
Amein.

First I had to accept responsibility.
Even though it is true that my heredity was not the best, and my environment exposed me to those who took advantage and did bad things to me: the greater Truth is  I got born again!

In Christ Jesus, GOD gave me a new beginning!!A new heritage!!! A New Identity! The past was gone!
You  may have been born into a ‘poor, black, nation, family’ or whatever!
That was in the past!!

As long as you are in Christ Jesus,  DAD owns the world! You are HIS heir with Christ the Savior of the​ world!!! You are Spirit filled, blood washed, redeemed, justified, declared righteous, an extraordinary supernatural being, the poem of GOD!
You are somebody special!

I take back my space from the devil!!!! Get off my case satan!

I came to realize that no one but myself was to blame for my condition. Instead of resisting the devil, I gave him my space and he came in with my permission through my lifestyle and character and settled in!!!!

Timeout devils!!!!! You no longer have space in my realm of existence!!!!!!

Like the prodigal, I considered my options and decided to ‘recommit’ my life to God’.

As scripture states in Isaiah 30:15 :
“In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength”,

Therefore,  I returned to GOD in repentance, and my strength got renewed.

Repentance is work!

Repentance involves action/activity!
It involves all the faculties of the soul and body!

With God’s enabling grace, all the books had to go and the reading habit changed. I made a bonfire of them. by

I began a tour of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation for the first time in my life!
Try it! You’ll be amazed at how ‘alive’ the Bible is.

I also started buying books by Christian writers- I love reading!

My music changed! All those mind polluting and demon attracting meaningless songs were replaced with Gospel, soul stirring, spirit lifting, inspiring with thought provoking and faith building lyrics.
I love music- we are a family of singers and musicians.

Television and the Big screen were affected also. It required discipline, determination and selfless commitment. It was not easy, but it was and is doable.

I had to take my ‘walk’ with GOD to another level and that involved attending regular fellowship with other Believers, which meant I had to ‘commit’ to a ‘church family’, as well as Join a service department in church.

I submitted to the ‘spiritual authority’ of the pastor and of course had to go through the ‘New Believers’ class/foundation school, got re-baptized(I chose to), went through school of discipleship etc.

Whatever was needful to take me out of the quagmire I got myself into, I was willing to do so!
Even though I got born again and Spirit-filled, my spirit man was underdeveloped.

My first major crisis after my rebirth was the death of my mother in 1972 when I was a teenager. It was a very traumatic experience for me. My grief and search for vengeance disabled my faith in GOD.

I did love GOD and grew up knowing I was a chosen vessel, but that did not stop my wrong choices.

I blamed my mother’s death on my paternal family and swore to avenge her death. I lost control and the demons regained control!
I cut off everyone, and left off my Christian community because they preached forgiveness. They counseled me to leave vengeance to God! I was too bitter to heed their counsel.

The devil took advantage of my unforgiveness, bitterness and grief and I reverted to ‘unsaved’ mode.

Those dark years lasted for as long as I allowed it.

As I stated earlier, my deliverance involved a complete turn around in all the faculties of my soul – my will/volition; my mind/intellect; my emotion/feeling had to change.

How I used my physical senses of  sight, mouth, hearing, feeling and smell  had to change also, so as to reflect my NEW nature in Christ .

When the positive spiritual controls the  soul, the soul would control the body, and  character transformation would become evident!

As I started receiving Bible doctrines into my Soul, my thought pattern began to change.
My  mindset/mental attitude changed. My priorities changed as well.

Forgiveness and peace flooded my soul.
My life’s focus became God, and the doing of HIS will. Which was easy because as Bible states:
” it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure” Philippians 2:13.

I had issues with ill-health – asthma, terrible allergy issues, weight loss, volatile temper, ulcers, etc.

I had to unlearn lots of self-defeating attitudes and character traits.

It was a deliverance process which I was determined to follow through!

I remember I submitted to deliverance ministrations once but it was too abusive – the hitting, pushing, turning and shouting I could not accept. I could not relate it with the GOD I had come to know.
Deep in me, I knew deliverance had to be better than all that pushing, shouting and shoving.

Now I know for sure. That deliverance from demons etc is by the Word of God.

As I pondered why some of my issues continued – especially the dream-state sex abuse by evil spirits, with its consequent marital issues, this scripture came alive in my spirit:
‘ whatsoever is born of God is victorious over the world, this is the victory that has overcome the world, even my faith”! 1John 5:4

That verse have had tremendous impact in my life and ministry. It became my ‘mantra’ and I confessed it like this:
“I Hephzibah I’m born of GOD. My dreams, goals and aspirations etc are born of GOD. Therefore, am victorious over- failures, sex in the dream, demonic oppressions, satan’s targeting, witchcraft manipulations, occult projections, family curses, ancestral yokes and burdens, single parenting, failed marriages, wickedness in high places, anger, bitterness etc.”

I confessed the Word over all my challenges, afflictions and character deficits!

Every day, I persevered in prayers as if my life depended on it. Every manifested evil in my family came under the hammer of the Word! I crushed them to pieces!!!! It was warfare.

From midnight to 6 am  daily, I would be in prayers, my prayer ministry was birthed in those days. I prayed all manner of prayers. And the power of GOD came mightily upon me.
Demons ran out of my orbit.
The fire-power was too much for them.

If you are not praying the WORD then you are without spiritual weapons.

Such much power is released at the place of prayer.
As the warfare raged, I would pray for all my children and siblings: mentioning them by name and claiming them for Christ. As I battled in prayer over all my families known challenges, their circumstances changed as well.

Brethren, the Word works and GOD answers prayers.

Deliverance without the Word, prayers and Godly living is an exercise in futility.

Today, we are a living testimony that through Prayer, faith in GOD, receiving and applying of Bible doctrines and with the Help of the Holy Spirit: those unrelenting spirit, soul and body ‘issues’ will be CURED!

Prayer:

ABBA Father, I bring before your Throne of mercy all those who are experiencing a string of bad outcomes as well as those who are being sexually violated by demons.

In the matchless name of Jesus Christ  I declare them loosed from the holds of those evil spirits and oppression.

I bind the forces of evil to never go near them again.

Thank You Father for the liberty we have in Christ Jesus who went a out doing good.

We pull down strongholds and demolish all arguments that is hindering people from advancing in their relationship with God.

Glory be to You Holy God for separating us to You as Holy and untouchables to the forces of evil.

Continue to work in us both to will and to do of your good pleasure, in Christ JESUS matchless name. Amein.

Shalom.
Hephzibah Christly

Process Your Deliverance 

Your deliverance is not in the hands of Deliverance ministers. It is in the Word of God.

God sent His Word to heal save, deliver and prosper us. Confront your issues.
I was privileged to serve in a deliverance ministry that specialized in beating demons out of people.
The deliverance ministers were very violent and demon conscious. Every person who had problems were demonized. And were treated as such.
During deliverance sessions, people were turned around until they become dizzy and fall down. During the turning around process, names of demons would be called out and told to leave.
Some People got delivered. But it was a very scary process.
Many people are still going through horrible experiences in a bid to be delivered.

The Good News is that God sent His Word to save, heal, deliver and prosper us.
Deliverance is a done deal. And like salvation, it is received by faith in Christ Jesus.
The Born again child of God is, ‘delivered from the domain of darkness and transported into God’s Kingdom of light, the day you received Christ into your life.

Deliverance is both an accomplished fact and an ongoing process as pointed out by Apostle Paul in the scripture which states:
”… who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us,” 2 Corinthians 1:10.

In the past Christ manifested and accomplished our salvation, healings and Deliverance. Done deal!

But all of the above must be appropriated to be effective. You have to receive it by faith. You have to work out your deliverance by applying scriptures to your reality.

Deliverance or Spiritual therapy, is a process whereby we appropriate the victory of the cross in our daily living by confronting our reality with the truth of GOD’s Word that we have received.

The process of Deliverance is like going into therapy, that is, Bible Based and Christ Centered Therapy.

Casting out demons is the least important procedure in deliverance.

The major procedure in deliverance is the feeding of your soul with the Word of God and living a Godly lifestyle. You won’t need to cast the demons out, they will run out. Two cannot walk together unless they are in agreement.

The reason the demons feel at home in and around you is because you are demon friendly. Your lifestyle has created a conducive habitat for them.

Once your mental attitude/mindset changes to reflect your born again status, demons can’t stay.
Stop believing old wives tales. Search the scriptures.

Deliverance is a process because revelation is progressive, and the understanding of spiritual truths is not by fiat.
The more you study, ingest and metabolize Bible Doctrine, the more your spirit, soul and body will be saturated with Divine power, and the more the light shines in you and the darkness in your soul disappears!

The Truth of GOD’s Word that you know and apply is the Truth that will set you free.

The Truth is that Christ died for our salvation, those who Believe and receive the word are saved!
Salvation like deliverance and healing is a done deal but many are still in bondage today because they have not caught the revelation in that area of their life.
Your deliverance is in the Word of God you know and apply.

In the particular area that you apply the Truth of the WORD, it is that day that you get delivered from that particular issue!

From today BEHAVE what you believe.

What area of your life still need the Truth of GOD’s Word.
Search the scriptures and do away with fables and let the glorious light of the GOSPEL shine into your heart.
Shalom! Hephzibah Christly
