I Took a Hit – But You Should See the Adversary (An update from the front lines)

Hello Warriors, friends, and family:

I’ve been offline for 5 days, which for me is a record. 

The truth? 

This body has been through battle.

My last hospital visit was back in 2016. 

Since COVID, it’s become increasingly hard to trust the medical system. 

These past three months? An on-again, off-again war with allergies. 

Then Thursday hit – and I needed help. Fast.

But where to go? Who to trust?

I waited. I prayed. The weekend tested my faith like never before.

Then on Monday, my bonus daughter and faithful prayer partner called – God was directing us.

 and they saw me immediately. X-rays, care, medication – all in place.

As always, God provided: what I needed, where I needed it, and right on time.

Today? I’m healing. I’m grateful.

To my husband, our family, my friends – thank you for the prayers, the messages, the calls.

You carried me.

The truth is: 

before ministry, I spent more time in hospitals than out. 

But now, as a senior? No age-related illnesses. That’s God. All glory.

This hit hard – but trust me: you should see what the adversary looks like now.

God is still healing.

 I’m still standing.

Let’s keep moving, Warriors.

Shalom,

Hephzibah Christly,

When the Devil Isn’t Attacking-You’re Just Rebellious. By Hephzibah Christly | The Spiritual Warrior

Let’s clear the air:

Not every hardship in your life is an attack from satan.

Sometimes… it’s just you.

Your choices. Your disobedience. Your unwillingness to surrender.

But in modern Christianity, blaming the devil is far easier than examining ourselves.

So we say:

“I’m under spiritual attack.”

“The enemy is after my peace.”

“Warfare is so intense right now.”

Meanwhile, God is over here saying,

“You’re reaping what you sowed.”

The Blame Game Is Comfortable

It’s a strange comfort to imagine we’re always victims in a spiritual war.

 It makes us feel chosen, important, even holy.

But sometimes, the reason we’re exhausted and off-track isn’t because hell is fighting us: it’s because heaven is resisting us.

God resists the proud (James 4:6).

Not the possessed. Not the pagan. The proud.

And rebellion doesn’t always look like witchcraft or idolatry.

Sometimes it looks like:

1).Knowing what God said and doing the opposite

2).Delayed obedience (aka: disobedience with a calendar)

3).Rewriting conviction as “process”

4).Constantly needing confirmation for what you already know

5).Making excuses while quoting “no weapon formed against me”

Newsflash: 

If you’re building the weapons yourself, that verse doesn’t apply.

Stop Rebuking What You Need to Repent For.

You can’t rebuke depression if it’s rooted in disobedience.

You can’t cast out consequences.

You can’t bind a spirit when your own sin is giving it full legal access.

Deliverance is real, but it’s not a shortcut around responsibility.

Sometimes the most powerful spiritual warfare you can engage in… is humbling yourself.

The Way Back

There is grace, but grace doesn’t excuse rebellion. It empowers repentance.

So here’s how you reset:

Ask God: “Where have I ignored Your voice?”

a)Confess it. 

Don’t dress it up. 

Don’t explain it away.

b)Turn from it fully.

 Not eventually. 

Not emotionally.

 Actually.

c)Rebuild in obedience. Even if it’s slow. Even if it’s painful. Even if nobody else sees it.

God doesn’t require perfection. But He does require surrender.

And sometimes, that’s the warfare you’ve been avoiding.

Has this message hit you where it hurts? Good. That’s where healing begins.

Leave a comment. Don’t ghost the process just because it got real.

I pray that you humble yourself before God, before you are humbled by situation and circumstances, instead Jesus’s matchless name. Amein.

Shalom, 

Dr. Hephzibah Christly

Church Hurt Doesn’t Mean Christ Hurt You: By Hephzibah Christly | The Spiritual Warrior

You trusted.

You served.

You showed up faithfully.

And they used you.

Or ignored you.

Or worse, tried to break you in God’s name.

It’s called church hurt, and if you’ve lived it-you don’t need the definition. 

You just need healing.

Some of the deepest wounds I’ve seen in Christian counseling aren’t from atheists, witches, or unbelievers.

They’re from pastors.

From choir leaders.

From fellow believers who weaponized scripture, manipulated emotions, and drove people away from the very God they were claiming to represent.

Here’s the lie: 

“If God let this happen, He must not be real.”

Here’s the truth: 

God didn’t hurt you. People did.

Religion vs Relationship

Religion without relationship always becomes performance.

And performance eventually becomes control.

That’s not the heart of Jesus.

He flipped tables when people turned God’s house into a business. He called out hypocrites in leadership.

 He welcomed the outcasts and broke the rules religion had twisted.

So if you walked away because of how people treated you, you’re in good company-Jesus did too.

Healing Begins Where Trust Was Broken

God is not afraid of your pain. He doesn’t silence it or shame you for it.

He says:

 “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

If you’ve been wounded by the church, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to carry it in silence anymore.

Let God heal the place religion failed. Let Christ show you the difference between His love-and people’s failure to reflect it.

Your Next Step

If you’ve been hurt and don’t know how to trust again, start here:

  • Be honest with God. (He already knows.)
  • Separate the people of God from the person of Christ.
  • Pray for healing-but also for truth.
  • Don’t isolate. Find safe, mature, Spirit-filled believers.
  • Give your grief a voice-then let it go.

Christ still wants you. He still sees you. And He never left.

Ready to begin healing? Message me. I’ll walk with you.

The High Cost of Occult Curiosity: What Dabbling Really Opens Up – By Hephzibah Christly | The Spiritual Warrior

Someone once told me, “I only light candles and burn sage for good vibes. I’m not summoning anything dark.”

But here’s the truth: the spiritual realm doesn’t operate on vibes. It operates on authority.

The devil doesn’t care about your good intentions. He only cares that you opened the door.

In today’s culture, spiritual counterfeits are everywhere – tarot cards repackaged as “clarity tools,” horoscopes pushed as harmless fun, “healing crystals” sold like spiritual medicine, and mediumships wrapped in pretty language like “ancestral connection.”

But the packaging doesn’t change the poison.

Occultism in Disguise

Most people aren’t knowingly joining witch covens or casting curses in the basement. The danger now is subtlety. It’s that gentle nudge to “explore” the unknown, to “just try” a reading, or to look into your past life “for closure.”

It feels spiritual.

It feels empowering.

And it’s a trap.

Scripture doesn’t leave room for negotiation. God clearly warns: 

Do not consult the dead, do not use divination, do not seek answers outside of Him (See Deuteronomy 18:11-12). 

These aren’t suggestions. They’re boundaries of protection.

Why? 

Because what answers back when you call isn’t your grandma. It isn’t your “spirit guide.” It’s something far more dangerous, wearing a familiar face to gain your trust.

The Spiritual Fallout

Here’s what they don’t tell you in those cute aesthetic witch-Tok videos:

•That recurring anxiety?

•Those nightmares?

•That oppressive heaviness that won’t go away?

•That weird sense that you’re “not alone” in your room anymore?

You opened a door. And demons don’t leave on their own.

The Only Way Out

If you’ve dabbled, experimented, or gone headfirst into spiritual practices that don’t line up with the Word of God, there is hope. 

You are not doomed. 

But you do need to repent and renounce it fully. 

Halfway deliverance doesn’t exist.

Call on the name of Jesus (Romans 10:13). There’s power in  that name to rescue you from the dark forces you’ve entertained. (Philippians 2:10)

Confess your disobedience, and He will forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:7-9)

Renounce all that you were involved in, and cut off ties with them. 

Delete files and destroy all the  gear, close doors, and fill the space you gave away.

Get into your Word. Fast. Pray. And don’t look back.

God won’t compete for your attention. But He will rescue you.

Are you ready to break the cycle and come back under God’s covering?

Leave a comment or message me. You’re not alone, and you’re not too far gone.

Shalom,
