James 4:7 Submit therefore to God Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Ephesians 6:11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. Ephesians 3:10 His purpose was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms. Colossians 2:15 And having disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Eph 6: 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. Luke 10:19 See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” 1 Corinthians 15:24 Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power. Also: Perhaps it's because we aren't at the 7th trumpet yet: "Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and loud voices called out in heaven: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.” Unfortunately, we are still in the stage described as "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." The attacks that happened to me back in July 1998 - December 1998 I eventually did find out the “why”. I resigned from my job and then there was a delay in the move out-of-state so I quickly found a local temporary job. Apparaently the person who wanted the position that I was hired for became resentful H.R. went to the outside and she had to report to me. I didn’t know that she resented me nor did I realize she practiced witchcraft. All she mentioned her favorite tv programs were “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” and “Charm”. We got paid weekly and had to fax over our timesheets to payroll, which was in another building 6 miles away. I worked a lot of overtime and my hours were different every week. I was the only one in the dept that was not getting reimbursed correctly for my hours. They had to keep adjusting the difference in the next week check. This went on every week for 6 months. So she knew that curse she put on me was working because I would ask others if their paychecks were correct and everybody (30 something people) said they didn’t have a problem. However, when the weird junk started to happen in my home ... that I never talked about. I would just go into work with a smile on my face and say “Good Morning” even though I was dead tired because I wasn’t getting my full sleep. At Christmas time I gave her a small gift and a card and inserted a Bible tract. She bursted into tears and said you have been so kind to me and then said she did some awful things to me. I said what do you mean? She then revealed she was putting curses on me. It just shocked me that she was the one because she put on a very good act and I never suspected her. I then said “well, I hope you realize you are worshipping a defeated foe ... Jesus Christ is God and is more powerful than satan.” She said yes. She probably thought none of the home junk was working because I didn’t talk about it. I don’t know if she ever got saved because I put in my notice soon after that for the big move out-of-state and she had the nerve to say “I’m going to miss you.” :wacko: She was actually fired 2 weeks after the Christmas conversation we had. I learned a lot through that trial. Does Satan need to ask permission to sin? Do you ask God permission before you lie or have an evil thought or say something harmful to someone? Pleading the blood. I have heard that phrase used many times by friends and family and until recently thought it a proper thing to do when under what appears to be a spiritual attack. I no longer believe that. What I believe is that the only power needed against the enemy in the spiritual realm is to name the name that is above every name, both in the heavenly realm and on Earth. That name is Jesus/Yeshua and if you belong to Him He is the only shield you need. Of course, you need to belong to Him first and secondly you need to believe (faith) that name is all you need to send the enemy to where Jesus would send them. (faith comes from hearing the Word and putting into action) Since I have believed and used that phrase which is "I rebuke you foul spirit of (fear/death/perversion/etc) in the name of Jesus the only begotten Son of God and to go wherever He would send you." After I had done that two or three times, I have never been attacked again. I suspect the word got around in the spiritual realm that I was too toxic to fool with because they did not like to go where Jesus sent them. Thank you Jesus :dieu: I totally agree ... when under an attack you can say a prayer and until you say “in Jesus name Amen” only then did I get relief. After that .... I just say “JESUS” and I get relief. His name is VERY powerful.
