Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.(Proverbs 4:23; GNT)
The mind is the major battleground of spiritual warfare.
Whatever you allow into your heart/mind forms the framework for your thinking.
When you are thinking, your mind is mobile- it is on the move. And your actions (behavior and attitude) are the evidence of what is in your heart .
Your life goes in the direction of your thoughts. Therefore, Guard your heart diligently. Own your thoughts. Never allow negatives take root.
Refuse to let your mind dwell on bad things. When evil thoughts come, learn how to subdue them- cast them down and out. (See 2Corinthians 10:5)
Never give up the ownership of your mind/heart to the devil and his evils.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.(Philippians 4:8;NLT)

“But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.”(1Corinthians 7:9,NASB)
From various scriptures, we understand that God ordained sex for marriage.
Because of the fallen nature of ‘Man’, sexual sins give demons the leeway to torment violators in their dream state.
Those who are being violated sexually in the sleep-state, can testify to how scary an experience it is. You have no control or choice in it. The demon comes and just takes over your sexual organs in your weakened state.You wake up feeling dirty, used and full of misery even though you may have derived some pleasure from the attack.
You really do not need that experience! It dehumanizes!
Apart from causing marital problems, sexual immorality reduces marriage opportunities for those who desire to marry, leaving them unfulfilled for life.
Triggers
Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.(2Timothy 2:22)
The major trigger for sleep-state sexual abuses is sexual immorality. Read Galatians 5:19-21 for a list of more triggers.
Premarital sex is one of the links satan uses to be sexually abusive and wreak havoc in the lives of Christians. Or “Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”(1Corinthians 3:16,NASB)
satan is aware that once you become born again, your body becomes the temple of God-His dwelling place.
In order to make you abominable to God, he takes advantage of your legitimate desires for sexual fulfillment and subtly corrupts it by playing mind games with your feelings, which eventually leads you into certain activities in order to satisfy the needs. That is the reason pornography is so addictive.
Hence God wisely says in His Word that if you lack self-control, go get married. So that you can explore all your sexual fantasies within the confines of a God-ordained relationship.
Instead of suffering sleep-state sexual assaults, or repeatedly be victimized by porno materials and premarital sex partners,you can actually be delivered and live a good life.
Here is what you can do to be set free:
Thank God for His mercy that gave you access to this content. (See Psalm 100)
Take responsibility for your actions. Simply confess your sins by naming all you were involved in. (See Proverbs 28:13 &1John 1:9)
Thank God for cleansing you from every unrighteousness.
Declare that as a child of God, there is therefore no condemnation to you for you now walk in the preordained pathways of righteousness, excellence, success, victory and prosperity.
Affirm that two cannot walk together unless they are in agreement. But now that you do not agree with all forms of lust, all the evil spirits assigned to influence or reinforce lust, pornography, all forms of sexual immorality, works of the flesh and other related evils, should get out of your realm and reality and go to the feet of Christ: and never come back under any guise or disguise into your life and bloodline.
Proclaim that all soul-ties to past sexual partners, places, objects, etc. that reminds or links you to past ungodly behaviors are severed and destroyed right away.
Declare that you are Holy unto God and all the faculties of your Body(physical senses), Soul(Volition/Will, Reasoning/Mind, Emotion/Affection) Spirit(Communion,Intuition, Conscience) are dedicated to God.
If you desire to be married, ask God to arrange your marriage because HE is your Father
Thank God for confirmation and performance of your words and counsel.
ACTION:
Move out of that common law relationship or get married. (Boys shack, Men marry)
Destroy all pornographic videos, magazines, etc
Stop viewing sexually explicit content, stop reading romance stories and stop visiting places that influences/heightens sexual lust.
Be committed in Daily Bible Reading(subscribe to yearly Bible reading plan), Be more prayerful (join a prayer group so you can intercede for others), join a local Church community in order to fellowship with other Christians (Christianity is a together-faith) Tell others about how you are delivered ( by your testimonies, you overcome the devil and build up the faith of your hearers)
CAUTION:
If you go back into sexual sins instead of growing in righteousness, all the evicted evil spirits will come back and your situation will become worse. Read for yourself what Jesus says in the Bible
“43 “When an evil[a] spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, seeking rest but finding none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’ So it returns and finds its former home empty, swept, and in order. 45 Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before. That will be the experience of this evil generation.” (Matthew 13 :43-45,NLT)
For your own sake and that of your descendants, maintain sexual purity.
Understand SOUL TIES:
Sex bonds. It unites the core of two individuals. When you have sexual intercourse, deep rooted bonds are established with your partner(s)
That sexual bond is a ‘soul-tie’.
The Bible says:
“…don’t you know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” (1Corinthians 6:16, BSB)
Marriage to another person does not automatically break the bond formed with an ex, unless you confront it from a spiritual perspective.
Soul-tie to past sexual partners are the reasons why people don’t move on from failed relationships. Hence some can’t cut ties with abusers without help.
Soul-tie is also one of the reasons that even a born again person can still crave or indulge in sexual intimacy with ex- lovers.
The Human is Spirit, has a Soul to live in a Body. The Soul is the seat of Mind/Reasoning, Emotion/affection, Volition/Will power.
In 1Peter 2:11, we are commanded to abstain from fleshly lust which war against the soul.
The Mind/Reasoning is the major battleground in spiritual warfare.
When you have premarital sex you share your soul with your partner and have opened up portals for demons to war against you.
Premarital sexual activity and other forms of sexual immorality if not quickly stopped,is degenerative. Not only will the high demon activity affect the Soul and Body, eventually, spiritual life will deteriorates as well.
No wonder God says we should RUN from all forms of sexual expressions outside marriage. Because, it not only grants the devil legal grounds to frustrate sexual enjoyment with a legitimate partner, it also creates emotional bondage to ex-illegitimate sexual partners.
What a sorry state of affairs.
It was sin that activated curses on Humanity. Whenever sexual sin happens you put yourself in jeopardy
The universe functions with laws that bring freedom and prosperity when obeyed and bondage and destruction when violated.
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus makes one free from the law of sin and death.
Sex is pleasurable. However, that little time frame of pleasure can put you into a lifetime of horrors under the forces of evil, if you continue to sin Godlessly.
Although there are societal laws that make sexual immorality acceptable/legal, God has not changed His sexual or gender laws. The laws of God are written in the hearts of all HIS children.
Marriage is still honorable.
See how destructive soul-ties can be:
The story of Dinah:
Genesis 34:1-3,
“Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite…saw her, he took her and lay with her, and violated her. 3 His soul was strongly attracted to Dinah…(See Genesis 34:1-3)
If you read further, you will discover the destruction that came upon the people of the land as a result of that sexual lust and the soul tie.
Dear friends, RUN from all appearances of evil. Stand fast in faith.

Sadly this includes sexual abuse. It’s NOT the abused victims fault, however freedom is in breaking these ties. I have done this, myself. After years of coming to grips with the sexual abuse from my past, forgiveness wasn’t the only step. Cutting soulties with my abusers is what brought true freedom. I also believe women who’ve been sexually abused and are dealing with issues of fertility, there is a huge link. I’ve suffered miscarriages and infertility for 19yrs, and after finally breaking soulties, I am pregnant with my son, due in July. Freedom is on the other side!!! We don’t have to live in bondage. I also have to say, I’ve been married to the same man for 20yrs. We have been together 21! I’ve only had one intimate relationship, by choice, my entire adult life. Being tied to him, and him alone is a precious gift. We are one, as we should be. 🥰 (unedited from our FB SWATSQUAD page)
“Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” (Proverbs 4:7)
It is so sad to see ‘Christians’ calling out prophets at this time as being false. We are aware that there are ‘false brethren, false prophets and false apostles’
However, this is not the time to spread schism, and other related evils, in the ‘Body’ of Christ. We should be sensitive as to the time we are in.
This is a time for Intercession and Soul Winning. Not a time for whining and name calling.
The Bible says, the sons of Issachar had an understanding of the times (1Chronicles 12:32) They were aware of what time they were living in, and their brethren were at their command.
Do you know that the sons of Issachar were really nothing among their Brethren? But their understanding of the times they were in, put them in the limelight, giving them the needed advantage.
The difference between leadership and followership is in the right application of knowledge. Which comes from having a deep relationship with God.
By the way, wisdom is the right application of knowledge. Christ had been made wisdom to Believers.
So, if you are running your mouth, what is the source of your knowledge? Is your knowledge political, cultural, academic, or Revelational?
The children of Israel knew the works of God whereas, Moses knew the ways of God and God made him their leader. He became very relevant in the move of God for that time.
What happened to those who questioned his leadership style out of jealousy, resentment and cheap popularity? Please search the scriptures.
When you know the ways of God or have an understanding of the times we are in, you will not be quick to judge those whose prophetic utterances may seem to have failed at this time!
Do not despise the grace, goodness or mercies of God.
The Bible states without ambiguity in 1 Thessalonians 5, that the Children Of The Light will have an understanding of the times; for they will be alert and wise. And as they see the day approaching, they will exercise self-control, and be sober!
What do you see?
Do you see the Day approaching, or you are busy looking at lying vanities?
“They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.”(Jonah 2:8)
Please, just stop all the theories, judgemental questions, name calling and other related evils.
The King’s service requires haste. Let’s be after our Father’s business. Refuse to be distracted. There is an urgency to win souls and build lives for Christ. Do not allow the devil borrow you to use against the Brethren.
Things that are seen are temporal. See beyond the developing stories. Pray to have understanding of the ways of God. His works are commonplace. But His ways need deeper spiritual insight.
What you do not understand about the times, ask God who is All-Knowing.
In addition, if you are born again, “Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.” (See Luke 8:10)
#Day4 #FaithfulGod ” It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. (2Timothy 2:11-13, KJV)
Hallelujah people of God. This is Hephzibah Christly, commandant of Spiritual Warfare and Tactics Squad- SWATS.
Every year, I embark on a 40 day spiritual exercise which starts December 1 and ends January 9 the following year.
During this season, I prayerfully review my life, as I spend time in communion with ABBA DAD. I just worship, pray, do Personal Bible Study with fasting. I also prophetically pray the next year forward.
My Theme for this season is #FaithfulGod.
Were it not for the faithfulness of God, what would have become of us during the plannedemic?
This year 2020 has been exceptionally challenging. Fear of the virus challenged the faith of so many Christians. Although Governments failed us, God faithfully preserved our lives, kept our finances and financiers safe, empowered our businesses and blessed our relationships.
Many people are still not moving forward from where bad policies kept them bound. Many are still in bondage to fear, because the fear of man entrapped them.
But God…
Faith in the Faithful God is our victory.
Let us Pray:
ABBA Dad, thank you for being so faithful. Thank you for preserving our lives. Your protecting presence isolated us from the ongoing confusions in our world.
Lovingly, you have given us the push to the right direction so that we can continue to make progress, even though the forces of evil tried to stagnate and vegetate the world. Your love O God, reaches to the heavens, and your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
In the midst of the storm of the corrupt-virus era, your Divine health manifested; and we never lacked any good thing.
You blessed our bread and our water and took sicknesses from us. Awesome God!
Thank you DAD, in Christ Jesus matchless name we worship.
Have God been faithful to you?
Please tell!
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly #theSpiritualWarrior
Refuse to wallow in your troubles by taking drugs, gorging on foods or drinking alcohol. The Bible cautions against taking chemical substances because strong drinks are for those who are perishing and in distress.(See Proverbs 31:6-7)
You have to be on top of your problems. Make no room for distress, for God have given you all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him. (See 2Peter 1:3) Ignorance is what causes people to perish (see Hosea 4:6)
Even though the taking of chemical substances gives temporary relief, it is potentially harmful. The long-term problems it creates, far outweigh the short-term reliefs it gives. For it could become addictive behavior, thereby creating more problems for the user.
Be wise my friend. Wisdom is profitable to direct. Instead of running away from your problems by filling up with foods and chemical substances, be filled with the Holy Spirit (See John 14:16; Acts 4:31; Ephesians 5:18)
How to be filled with the Holy Spirit If you are ‘ born again’ you already have the Holy Spirit. ‘Everyone who is Born of God receives the Holy Spirit from Christ: that is the promise of the Father to us and our children’.(See Acts 2:32-39)
I can testify that some of my grandchildren started manifesting the gifts of praying in tongues at quite a tender age. It happened on one of those days that the family meets to study and pray. As we were praying, two of them just broke out blasting in tongues. We were shocked at first, until the Holy Spirit dropped the above scripture in my spirit. Which I proceeded to share with those present.
Although praying in tongues is evidence that you have the Holy Spirit, it is not an issue if you are not manifesting tongues. Just kniw that you have the Holy Spirit.
Here are two major ways you can be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Wait on God: Christ told the Apostles to wait in a place until they are endued with power from on high. (See Luke 24: 49, Acts 1:4-8)
Waiting does not suggest inactivity. While waiting, they were busy doing the things of the Spirit. Come to think of it, they would have been bored stiff if that large number of disciples holed up in the upper room just sitting around.
Basically, you will be filled with the Holy Spirit and endued with power from God at the place of prayer, fasting, and personal Bible Study. And also whenever you meditate on the Word of God and fellowship with other Believers. As well as whenever you share with others, how God showed up for you.
Whenever you engage in those activities outlined above known as the Daily Christian Disciplines, you will not wallow in self pity, do drugs, suffer from low self esteem, or get into depression. Because, “if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”(See Romans 8:11)
Dominate your life. Refuse to grant liberties to those satanic problems that are common to earthlings. Your citizenship is not of this world. You must learn to live the higher life.
Ask God to fill you afresh: Are you aware that you can ask God anything in the name of Jesus Christ? (See John 14:13, 16:23) You can as well ask Him to fill you afresh with the Holy Spirit.
It is important to note that all other solutions outside of God leads to reckless indiscretions. The resolution for the problems of Humanity is in a relationship with God, through a daily faithwalk with Christ Jesus.
There must be a life-change, if you desire to Dominate and not stagnate,
Deliverance Prayer: ABBA, thank you that your Word into my soul has dispelled darkness therein.
I acknowledge that I have not been diligent in observing the Daily Christian Discipline of Prayer, Fasting, Personal Bible Study, Meditation on your Word, Fellowship with the brethren, as well as Share my faith with others.
Holding fast to your Word that if I confess my sins, you are faithful and just to forgive my sins, and cleanse me from every unrighteousness; I declare that there is therefore, no condemnation to me, for I continually walk in the Spirit for the Holy Spirit is in me.
Therefore, I command all the foul spirits influencing unrelenting problems, psycho-somatic or mental disorders and other health challenges: as well as those behind bloodline alcoholism, substance abuse, addictions and addictive behaviors with their related evils, should disengage at once and go to the feet of Christ.
I receive bloodline cleansing and the covenant blessings of Abraham.
I boldly declare that affliction will not come again, for the truth of God’s Word has liberated me. My faith in God has made me an overcomer in Christ.
The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. As an heir of God and heir of all things, I have a goodly heritage.
The end have come to unrelenting suffering, beggarlyness, insufficiency, deprivations, the poor relative syndrome, shame, disgrace, disrespect, the feeling of worthlessness, and other related evils. I break myself and bloodline loose from them.
I proclaim that we prosper in the midst of world problems because our lives and businesses function in the economy of heaven.
Grace, favor, as well as everything in creation are working for our good, and our increases shall not be stopped.
Our needs are supplied before the need arises for God who watches over us neither sleeps nor slumbers. We are flourishing on every side for God is with us.
My household is blessed beyond curses.
Thank you dear God for frustrating the enterprises of the wicked in our nations. We stand against any satanic agenda and ask that only your perfect will be done on the earth, as it is in heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we have prayed.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world” (1Peter 5:8-9)
Stop allowing the devil to continuously play mind games with you. If you are born again, the devil has no control over you except the one you give him. (See Luke 9:1-2; 10:19)
In Christ Jesus the devil and the forces of evil are subject to you. The victory that overcomes the world is your faith.(See 1John 5:4)
Perish victim mentality:
If you are having spiritual attacks, stand firm against all of the devices of satan with the shield of faith. Take control of the situation. Refuse to be the victim.
Use the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, to recreate the situation, instead of lamenting over it.
The Word of God is more powerful than the greatest weapons developed by Humans. It can be used for both offensive and defense purposes. (See Hebrews 4:12) It is dynamic in workings.
But if you keep lamenting over your problems or situation, you will be allowing your mind to be polluted with defeating thoughts. Consequently Your morale will be low and demonic torments will reinforce.
However, if you meditate on the Word of God and declare the Words of your testimony, you will overcome that presenting challenge (See Revelation 12:11)
Know your triggers:
Problems are common to the human race. It’s the result of the Fall. The Bible says, “Man, that is born of a woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble.” (See Job 14:1)
That notwithstanding, because of the Christ sacrifice, God no longer holds the sins of Believers against them. However, personal sin is the major trigger that allows demonic oppression. For the speaking Blood of Christ protects us and declares our righteousness.
But if you break the heďge, the serpent strikes. (See Ecclesiastes 10:8)
Take responsibility and move on: Since sin is against God, confession of sin and the decision to not commit it again, effectively mends the broken hedges.
So, when problems are assailing you, instead of playing the blame game, repent and apply the principle of 1John. 1:7-9.
Stop arguing about the obvious. Get out of denial.
Those who cover, excuse, blame others or justify their sins do not make progress. Our righteousness is like filthy rags to God, tge only righteousness acceptable to God is Christ’s.
We are justified by faith in the accomplishments of Christ. (See Proverbs 28:13, Galatians 6:7, Isaiah 64:6;Romans 5:1; Galatians 2:16)
Trials of faith are for promotion: Even if your challenges are the result of the trial of your faith, by holding fast your confessions of faith, you will prevail and move to the next levels.
“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the {e} appearing of Jesus Christ” (See 1Peter 1:7)
Remember that you are born of God and programmed to succeed. You must refuse to allow a guilt-ridden conscience make you vulnerable to demons activities.
Spiritual Warfare Prayer:
I stand with you in identification with your sins. We admit to our sinful thoughts and actions. We ask and receive forgiveness from God knowing that we are cleansed from every unrighteousness and sin no longer has power over us.
Therefore, all the forces of evil that are assigned against us are to leave at once to the feet of Christ.
All witchcraft manipulations and projectiles are nullified and destroyed. Including all the works of the devil which were manifesting as sicknesses, recurring troubles, failure at the edge of success, rejection at the tip of marriage, generational poverty and other related evils, are hereby annihilated.
I shut the door against failures, unrelenting hardship, depression, schizophrenia, as well as other mental health and economic challenges.
The anointing of God’s Spirit that brings favor, multiple sources of income, wellness, completeness, prosperity and peace, floods my circumstances now.
From today, I walk in the preordained pathways of success, victory, longevity and excellence in this life. We thank you ABBA for your love. In Christ precious name. Amein.
