In Psalm 7, the Psalmist is experiencing being slandered by Cush the Benjamite, and is crying out for vindication from God.
I can relate with how painful it can be, when you are falsely accused or slandered.
And also how much you really want to release fire and brimstone on those slanderers.
This year, it is important to rein in your anger, and not allow slanderous people to get under your skin.
Firstly, you should work on building up your self esteem, so that people’s opinions of you would not hurt you.
Secondly, it is important that you must function as the righteousness of God: so that if slandered, you can seek vindication from God, as David did.
Thirdly, understand that there is a time to confront evil, and a time to resist the devil.
Slanderers have deep seated resentment and bitterness against their objects.
Confronting them will only enable their vindictive manipulations and verbiage.
So much so that, the more you attempt to vindicate yourself, the more vitriol they will spew.
However, If you need to take legal actions in order to redeem your reputation, go for it.
But generally, it is more effective to ask God to vindicate you, than to rely on getting justice from a corrupt justice system.
Fourthly, you resis slanderers by taking the shield of faith and the Sword of the Spirit: which means that you must engage their demons at the place of spiritual warfare.
You do so by standing strong in faith and countering all their evil words, with the Word of God.
Action:
Declare that all the antics of slanderers, aimed at assassinating your character are nullified.
Also affirm who God’s Word says you are, and command all the demons of slander, anger, resentment, false accusations and their relatives to get out of your affairs.
You can also declare that everyone you were slandered to, will receive confirmations in their spirit, that they were lied to.
Additionally, declare 1 John 3:8 and proclaim what it says.
Finally, make a decision not to be that person who slanders others, ever again, and will only speak words that bless, encourage and edify, in the name of Jesus Christ.
You may need to review a previous post about Slander, from my blog spiritualwarrior2016.blog
We have just two more days before this series ends.
Tomorrow we read Psalm 8
#MyPrayer4you;
I declare that slanderers cannot function in your orbit, and that you will be a blessing in your world, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

If your source of information is only the secular media, I can’t even imagine how troubled you would be because of the evil but real reports of terrorism, plane crashes, etc.
We are living in a world where to some people, violence is the solution for their troubles.
The reality of our world today is that violent responses have become a part of life.
But does that mean we should live in fear, and be suspicious of strangers? Absolutely not.
For you the born again child of God, always remember that God has not given you the spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and of a sound mind (See 2 Timothy 1:7).
Therefore, like the Psalmist who declared:
“But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; My glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, That have set themselves against me round about.” (Psalm 4:3,6 KJV) , never allow fear of the unknown to trouble you.
This is the time to be steadfast in faith with the knowledge that God is able to protect you, no matter what the enemy is planning or has planned.
#MyPrayer4you:
I pray for the families that lost loved ones in New Orleans, USA, and the plane crashes in South Korea, and Kazakhstan, that God will comfort, and draw them to Himself.
I pray for you that your faith will grow so much so, that fears will no longer torment you, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
These past 34 days have been great lessons for us, and we are so thankful for the lessons in them all.
Let’s Read Psalm 4 for tomorrow, and share the insights we receive from the verses, as comments on my contents, and also on your profile pages.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, December 3rd, 2025
Don’t be that person who exhibits false humility just for the approval of others, while hiding a heart that is full of pride. (See Colossians 2:23).
Let us be real. For as Christians, we serve a real God who says in His Word:
“Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.( Psalm 2:8 KJV)
The newer translations have the Word “heathen” as ‘Nations’
Can you even comprehend that God desires for us His children to intercede for the nations by identifying with them?
Our asking this year should be of Big Things, beyond our wildest imagination.
The earth and everything in it belongs to God and we who are Christian’s are heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ (See Psalm 24, John 1:12, Romans 8:17)
This year is not the time to selfishly focus on personal needs. Rather, we should identify with those in nations where Christianity is outlawed, and intercede for them.
We should ask God to give us those nations for our inheritance so that His Kingdom in us will come to them (Luke 17:21, 24: 46-47).
Just adopt one nation this year, and keep on interceding for them.
Let Us Pray:
Father God, thank you for Your goodness which led us to repentance.
We ask also, that your goodness will lead to repentance, the peoples of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and all the other nations where Christianity is not freely practiced.
As your Oracle, I come against all the evil spirits influencing war, rape, enslavement of women, anti Christianity, pedophilia, child marriages, satanism, occultism, false religion, caste system, religion, witchcraft, idolatry, divination, sorcery. poverty, and their relatives, and reassign them all to the feet of Jesus Christ.
For this cause the Son of God manifested, to destroy the works of the devil, therefore, all rebelliousness, evil heartedness, disobedience and sinful inclinations are to self-destruct at once.
We release a deep hunger and thirst for the Only True God and His Word, to saturate the lands, just as water covers the seas.
We proclaim liberty of worship for the peoples.
And in unity of faith, we command to disintegrate all evil laws and decree that hindered the people from freely worshipping the Only True and Living God.
We ask Father God that the evil administrations be ? removed, and replaced with those who will rule in righteousness.
Thank you for filling our hearts with joy and our mouths with laughter, in this new year: For we rest in the knowledge that You, our Father, will cause all things to work together for our good, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Our 40 days of fasting, prayers, and specified Bible reading ends on January 9th.
Tomorrow, reading and meditation will be from Psalm 3.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, January 2nd 2025.
As Christian Believers, we are to stand strong and boldly confront challenges just as the lion does.
We are not of them that shall draw back in fear and timidity because of blackmail or any satanic manipulations.
We are of them that shall stand with the shield of faith and quench all fiery attacks that come against us.
Do not be amazed if some of the attacks you will have to boldly confront, will be from your own relatives and Christian folks; for it is written that “…A man’s foes shall be they of his own household”. (Matthew 10:36 KJV.)
Therefore, as you are going into the new season, be determined to face all challenges boldly like a lion, wherever the attack will come from.
When your peers, relatives or other Christian Believers attack you, it can be very destabilizing because of emotional attachments.
In order to not allow such attacks to destabilize you anymore, forgive them, and rest in the knowledge that they are who they are, and you are who you are!
Refuse to respond, retaliate, or downsize to their levels.
Be bold in Whose you are. You are the child of the Monarch of the Universe and Joint Heirs with Christ, who is the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
Do not ignorantly focus on the people. Instead, confront the evil spirits instigating them against you!
#SpiritualWarfarePrayers:
I stand with you against all forms of fears, and speak boldness to your Soul.
You shall no longer suffer defeat, and everything you lost this year because of fear, you shall get back, for your strength increases and you shall pursue, overtake and recover all, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ❤️
Have a great life.
Read Proverbs 29, and share with us whatever speaks to your heart.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, December 28th, 2024.
We had a very peaceful day for which I am so thankful to God for.
It’s such a relief that I have been delivered from the stress of Christmas shopping, gifts, etc. And I enjoy peace during these holidays.
It is such a blessing to have “a quiet and peaceable life” (1 Timothy 2:1-4).
And, to generally have a peaceful life the Bible says we should make supplications and prayers for all, especially for our rulers (1 Timothy 2:1-4)
That is the reason we should keep praying for our President Elect, Donald Trump.
He may have good intentions, but we should never underestimate the evilness of wicked counselors.
Back in Bible days was Ahitophel. The Bible says his counsel was as though it came directly from God ( See 2 Samuel 16:23)
But he had a grudge against King David, because of his granddaughter Bathsheba.
And when he had the opportunity, he betrayed the king and told the opposition how to effectively undermine his authority and overthrow him.
But king David prayed to God that Ahitophel’s counsel would be turned into foolishness. And it was (2 Samuel 15:31-37, 2 Samuel 17:1-14)
Ahitophel, committed suicide (2 Samuel 17:23), and the coup plotter was defeated and killed (2 Samuel 18:6-15)
And King David was able to focus on the job at hand.
Hence the Bible says,
“Take away the wicked from before the king, And his throne shall be established in righteousness” (Proverbs 25:5 KJV).
We must keep praying that wicked counselors will not have a place in the new cabinet.
I don’t know about you, but I still want to live a quiet and peaceful life. And not be saddled with debts, high energy prices, horrible grocery bills, insecurities, and the intimidation of the alphabet community.
I also remember how social media, especially Facebook and Twitter, went after us who questioned vaccines or who stated that the ideal marriage is between a man and woman.
Pages were taken down for having a Cross or a Bible for profile Picture. We were shadow-banned, restricted, etc.
It was like being in a police state.
Free speech was not only stifled, but the speakers were hunted down and victimized.
We were made to feel like aliens 👽 on planet earth!
It was such a bad time for God-loving and God-fearing people. Iniquity abounded!
But God!
In order not to return to that lifestyle, we must keep praying for our President to stay on the right course, and that all wicked counselors – whoever they may be – will not be able to perform their enterprises.
They must be defeated and meet with strong opposition.
#SpiritualWarfarePrayers:
1). Thank God for the peaceful elections we had in the USA, and the outcome.
2). Thank God that His Mercy has prevailed and judgment has been deferred.
3). Thank God for giving this nation a second chance and for harnessing His wrath.
4). Admit that we are a nation of vile sinners, and are thankful for the forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness.
5). Say to God that although we are grateful for the second chance, we still need Him at the helm of affairs of this great nation, to direct and steer our leaders to keep doing His perfect will.
6). Pray against all the forces of darkness that are trying to frustrate the incoming administration. Command all the evil spirits to stop, back down, and back off.
7). Pray that God will counter all evil advisers, and remove them from our president, and replace them with God fearing individuals who will do God’s will.
8) Pray that God intervenes to stop all the evils and wickedness that are being done in order to distract the President Elect from his goals, and thus waste time undoing the evils they set up.
9) Command all the demonic hordes in operation now, whatever their guise or disguise to leave at once.
10) Release ministering angels to all the departments of government, to minister Godliness to the hearts of all the civil servants.
11). Proclaim that wickedness has been dethroned and righteousness is exalted in this nation, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Enjoy Proverbs 26 .
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, December 26th 2024
When I read Proverbs chapter 14, and verse 30 stood out which says,
“A sound heart is the life of the flesh: But envy the rottenness of the bones”, I was grateful that I am not moved by what belongs to others.
Because, I understand that what I have, I need. And what I don’t have, I don’t need.
To Envy is to want what belongs to another person.
Why would I want what someone has? I don’t want their cancer, curses, yokes, etc. Nah! I definitely don’t want any of theirs!
Envy is as corrosive as bitterness, for it destroys the envious from within, before it destroys the object of the envy.
Envy is very destructive, it activates chain-sinning.
You must refuse to accommodate it any further in your life.
As Believers, we have the mind of Christ, and the love of God has been poured into our hearts. There is no room for envy to function in us.
How I Overcame Envy & Jealousy:
Godliness with Contentment is great gain(1 Timothy 6:6)
A long time ago, I learned to appreciate where people are at, but never to ENVY what they have.
Because, I knew that every good and perfect gift is from God (See James 1:17). And that all I needed to do was to ask God in prayer, as well as work towards provisioning to acquire something better.
I always aspired for excellence and not what anyone has.
Why would I jeopardize my mental health with ENVY, and open up doors for demonization, when I can ask God for anything in Jesus name?(John 14:13-14)
That was, and still is my mindset.
If I see something about somebody that I like, I thank God for them, and mention to Him that I will appreciate something superior.
I know Whose I am and I know who I am
Soul Searchlight / #SpiritualWarfarePrayers :
1).Why were you envious?
2).Repent and renounce the spirit of ENVY, jealousy and their relatives.
3).Determine to never be envious again, but to rejoice when people are doing well, and to ask God to remember you too for good.
4) Thank God for giving us the spirit of power, love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
5).Command ENVY, jealousy, wrath, destruction, violence, murder, and all other evil spirits to leave your world and relocate to the feet of Jesus Christ.
6). Thank God that you are blessed already because God is your Source and Resources, and He supplies your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
7) Proclaim a new season of enjoying the benefits of salvation and walking in the pathways of righteousness, divine health, excellence and productivity, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ
Thank you for following this Spiritual exercises. We proceed to Proverbs chapter fifteen.
Be free to bless others with insights that you are gaining as you study and pray.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, December 14th, 2024
Welcome to this season of eulogizing the awesomeness of God from two major perspectives.
When I received the word for the season, I was both excited and amazed!
Amazed at the thought of what next year holds for us who believe that God still communicates His moves to His people.
As is my usual practice, every December 1st to January 9th, I engage in the Spiritual exercise of “fasting off food and entertainments”, in order to give more time to Prayer, Bible Study, and Meditations on God’s Word.
Doing these Spiritual exercises helps me to tune out the physical world and tune in to the spiritual frequencies, as well as proclaim my expectations for the upcoming season.
Two major Reasons for this Spiritual exercises:
1). This holiday season helps me to reflect over my life, and review my performances.
The Bible admonishes us in 2 Corinthians 13:5 to
“ Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” 2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV.
In order to Examine myself appropriately, I will deeply search my soul for answers to
the following questions:
A). Am I still in the faith?
i) Do I still believe in God as Omniscience? or
ii) am I now following science- allowing science to frustrate my faith in God?
B). Has reprobacy crept in unwittingly/subtly? :
i) where did I fall away?
ii) am I still relevant in God’s plans for the world- doing what HE called me to do or have I gone the way of Balaam- seeking financial blessings instead of obedience and selflessness?
2).These Spiritual exercises also empowers me to call things into existence and not live by happenstance.
As Christians, we do not live by happenstance, we cause things to happen. We have the creative ability of God in us. His enabling grace is at work in us to will and do His good pleasure.
As the Bible states,
“Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your’s;” 1 Corinthians 3:21-22 KJV.
Even though “all things are yours”, the devil and the forces of evil always try to frustrate your faith in God.
Don’t forget also that we are still growing in faith and in the knowledge of God. Therefore, we fall into temptations or allow contrary situations and circumstances to overwhelm us.
Life just happens.
But as you give yourself to these Spiritual exercises, you will be on top of your game and no longer allow the oppressive forces to get you.
During this season, you line up all your ducks in a row.
You may join me in this Spiritual exercises.
I will try to share insights as I receive them, and I look forward to having you share yours with me too.
Outline for the Spiritual Exercises:
You can make some adjustments to personalize it to fit your work schedule. But stay the course.
Prayers Times:
9am, 12 noon, and 3pm daily
Duration:
Be Flexible- Pray as you are led by the Holy Spirit. Just be consistent.
Write a Prayer List:
It is important to have a prayer goal. I have a long list of things I need to happen for me in this upcoming year.
Bible Reading:
i) Proverbs 1-31.
One chapter daily will cover the 31 days of December.
ii) Psalms 1-9 will add up to get you the 40 days.
I apologize for not sharing this earlier. My eyes wanted to quit working, so I just shut it down.
I love you all and do appreciate that many people join me for these yearly Spiritual Exercises.
#MyPrayer4you:
I pray that you receive more Grace to be able to do this for yourself.
I pray that you will grow stronger in faith and that you will experience the awesomeness of God in your life and family, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️ 🙏🏽
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior. December 1st, 2024.
Kindly make time to pray for both the west and east coast of the United States of America.
Your prayer as a Christian will call God’s power into play in our world. You are important in what God is doing in our world today.
The Amplified Classic Bible (AMPC) says, “The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working] (James 5:16b)
#PrayerPoints4Today:
(1). Thank God for where you are at, and for His protection over you and yours already.
(2). Identify with the sins of the land, ask God for forgiveness, cleansing, healings for our lands, and for His mercy to prevail over judgment.
(3). Simply ask for God to intervene supernaturally and put out all the fires 🔥, with either rainfall 🌧 or snowfall ❄️ or as He deems fit.
(4). Ask God to comfort and send help to all the people who have lost loved ones and properties in the raging fires.
(5). Pray specially for all the Firefighters 🚒, Emergency services personnel, and for the family of Jacob Lazar, (the 18yrs old volunteer firefighter killed by a falling tree).
(6). Be thankful to God for the assurance that He hears us always, “whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” (1 John 5:15)
Thank you for making time to earnestly intercede for others.
#MyPrayer4you:
I pray that you will never have to run for your dear life, nor lose loved ones and properties to floods or fires 🔥, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️.
Have a great life!
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, November 13th 2024.
In our prayers today, we shall stand with you against the forces of evils that are influencing those who cheat, lie, steal, deny your rights, and project evils against you, in a bid to cover up their wickedness, and project you as the evil one.
Most people have a hard time understanding that God is the righteous Judge of the World, “He puts down one and exalts another” (Psalm 75:7), and there is nothing hidden from Him.
For, as the Bible states, ”…Nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest, neither any thing hid, that shall not be known…”(Luke 8:17)
People’s sin usually finds them out (See Numbers 32:23)
OUR opening scripture from Job 20:15 Says:
“He hath swallowed down riches, He shall vomit them up again. God shall cast them out of his belly” Amein!
You may be in an inheritance or custody battle, where the oppressor may have taken possession, or skillfully hidden what rightfully belongs to you.
Whoever they may be, their conscience will not rest, and will continue to trouble them until they do right by you.
And if they ignore or silence their conscience, and not voluntarily restore your rights to you, God as the righteous judge, will compel a restoration in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
#SpiritualWarfarePrayers:
I command to go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ all the evil spirits that are influencing hatred, lies, and acrimony, against you, to lose their holds over your finances, job opportunities, relationships, self esteem, and mental health
I release to you now , the anointing of God’s Spirit that brings deliverance, healings, prosperity, reconciliation, redemption, restoration, and wellness.
I declare that because Christ manifested to destroy the works of the enemy, therefore, you are set free to enjoy the gains of salvation, have life in all its fullness, and fulfill God’s purpose for your life, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D., #TheSpiritualWarrior, November 11th, 2024.
