📢 Forum Update - Hello everyone! I've made an improvement to the forum that should make following active discussions much easier. Beginning today, forum topics will display the most recent replies first (while keeping the original topic post at the top), so you no longer have to navigate through multiple pages to find the latest conversation. This change also helps improve the browsing experience in long-running discussions with many pages of replies. If you notice anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly or have any feedback, please let me know. — Richard G. I believe it involves (continued) standing in that authority we have been given. The demonic attacks can come in various ways ... II Timothy 3:12 says “All those who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” It’s a given we will be persecuted in various ways because the enemy wants to hinder us from witnessing/praying or serving the Lord at church. If the attacks occur in the middle of the night, I say “in the Name of Jesus Christ get out of my presence” and they leave. If the attacks happen during the day and I’m home, I play the Bible on CD’s and/or old hymns of the faith or songs that give praise to Jesus. Believe me, they will leave you alone ASAP. Also check around your home and see if you have anything that has brought the demons into your home. We can do this innocently. For example ... I bought a country picture called “wild rose berries” from a famous painter Pauline Campanelli. I was thrilled to get this picture for only $5.00 at a Goodwill store. However, as soon as I brought it home and hung it on the wall ... weird things started to happen in the home and all of a sudden I was having health problems and I wasn’t getting relief. After looking up the painter’s bio and saw she was a pagan and practiced witchcraft, ugh! I immediately destroyed the painting and threw in the outside trash can and then the demons left me alone and then I was healed. My sister meant well when she bought me a Himalayan Salt Lamp. She bought one too - claimed it’s suppose to relieve stress. Well ... as soon as I plugged that lamp in .... I sense the dark demonic forces were in the house. I got rid of that thing sooo quickly. Told her what happened to warn her and she claimed she was experiencing the same oppressive junk. Then I went to the pet store and bought a leather shape rabbit chewy toy. The tag said “made in India”. Sounds innocent ... however, as soon as that toy was in the home weird things started happening as well including things falling off the wall in the middle of the night. My puppy refused to chew/play with that toy. Smart dog! As soon as I tossed that toy in the outside trash can, all the junk stopped immediately. Remember greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. It doesn’t hurt to also pray for a hedge of protection ... ask the Lord for Him to send the angels to surround your house, your vehicle, your work, and that you get a good nights rest without being disturbed.
