:good: :agree 1Cor 11: 24-25 In the same manner He also took the cup (of wine) after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me ” Matthew 26:28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s kingdom. Jn 6: 53 Then Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Hebrews 13:20-21 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Alright Tom is back good to see you : - ) And TX Thom 🙂 This is my take as well, there is no scriptural basis for 'pleading the blood'. It is the name of Jesus that every knee must bow to. As we walk through this valley of the shadow of death, what we call life, it seems that for all of life's concerns, troubles and heartaches it's as if we had a crown of thorns placed upon our hearts. And like our Savior, that crown of thorns shall be replaced with a more glorious crown one day! TR I'm interested in knowing what kind of attacks? Physical manifestations? Depression? Or worse? I agree with the comments invoking the name of Jesus (outloud) seems to work. That being said the fear can linger. It did with me after a physical attack (slept with the lights on, for months). Also have you asked other Christian's or a pastor to pray over you or your home? The attacks vary for me. The first time it happened a former co-worker (who was a witch) was putting spells on me. My weekly pay checks were always incorrect. The running water was always cold when I wanted to wash up. They killed my amaryllis plant after I said “how beautiful” and the bulb never bloom after that. While praying the landline phone would always ring (even when I unplug the line from the wall socket). My bedside light bulb would get unscrewed when I was reading my Bible. While watching baseball, the linen closet door suddenly opened up and a box of tooth paste flew out into the bedroom. I was on the sofa eating pizza and reading and I put my soda can in between the cushions. The soda can lifted up into the air and then was placed upside down back into the cushion. I quickly grabbed the can to flip the can back up and all the soda was completely gone. Not one drop left. When the physical attacks happened I would always hear a weird motor humming noise first. Then my body was paralyzed, my eyes were always closed. It felt like they used a sword and stabbed me in the leg. One was on top of me and was trying to squeeze my neck. They used the voice of my mom and kept chanting my name. After I got relief from calling out to Jesus. I turned on my light and started reading the Bible and then prayed and said “thank you for defeating satan at the cross”. Then when I tried to go back to sleep again they immediately came back - I was paralyzed again, they lifted my body off the bed and violently started to shake me and said “don’t say that ... don’t say that”. They hate the fact they are defeated and going to hell. While cooking, the kitchen cabinet door suddenly opened up and the cast iron frying pan fell on my right foot. I was barefoot and in ALOT of pain. I prayed the swelling and pain would go away and it was fine the next day! Why? Because I had plans of spending the day shopping and they tried to prevent me doing so. I had a chance to witness to the cashier at AC Moore. The store happend to be empty at the time and we had a long conversation. She was so happy to hear about Jesus and was thrilled when I gave her a Bible Tract to read. She said she couldn’t wait to read it on her lunch break. Another time I warned my sibling about a popular “Christian” author and to not buy the books/DVDs for their young kids and then that night I was under another attack. I heard the roar of a lion. It wasn’t Jesus but satan. My bedroom smelled like the pit of hell (worse than the smell of coffee brewing). I silently said “Jesus” then I felt a gust of wind come into the window causing my eyes to squint and my hair was blowing. The wind gust was like being on a motorcycle without a helmet going 70 mph. I saw white robes flying past. Then I heard metal ... some sword fight was happening. Lasted about 25 seconds and then the room smelled like fresh flowers and all was quiet. There’s more junk that happened .... I can write a book ... I talked with the youth pastor of my former home church and he never been through any attacks and pretty much looked down on me and accused me to being involved in the occult. It was extremely hurtful. My aunt was the only one who understood what I was going through since she experienced similar junk (at her work a warlock was bothering her) and/or knew of others and as I described the events she said yep yep they went through the same thing. You can anoint your front and back doors with olive oil and pray for a hedge of protection over your home. I found the demons will leave you alone if you play the Bible on CD’s and/or play music praising and glorying Jesus. I will be praying for you! Wow again, Geri. Let's just say I'm Grateful for never personally experiencing anything like those. Maybe I just haven't been dangerous enough to Evil. (??) You are a brave woman. I'm thankful for this testimony. I’m not sure why some believers experience more of these kinds of attacks than others. I’m just glad we have Jesus to call upon and He faithfully rescues us out of them! Glad that finish line is up ahead. My real name means “victorious spirit” so hopefully I won’t be seen crawling across the line ... lol
