Withstanding The Attacks Of The Enemy, And Proving Victorious
The above image is from the movie The Passion, and was a depiction of Satan as he was watching Christ suffer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Scripture says our Lord endured spiritual attacks that were so severe He was literally sweating great drops of blood (Luke 22:44), and despaired unto death.
37 He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” (Matthew 26:37-39)
Have you ever endured spiritual attacks that brought on immense depression? I was in a situation recently where I was suffering great emotional distress, and it just seemed to be increasing and increasing until I was starting to despair of life. One night I found myself out walking and praying, and I asked the Lord, "How could you do this to me? I have devoted my entire life to You. I feel like my whole life is cursed now." A few minutes later I heard Him say to me, "Your life is cursed, but not by me," and suddenly I understood what had been going on all along. Someone had been using witchcraft on me to bring me into emotional despair, and then the pieces suddenly all fit together.
Roughly a week earlier, someone had joined my personal forum, professing to be a type "super Christian." He claimed Satan was immensely powerful (went to great lengths to explain this twice), and that he could not keep demons from inhabiting his body. But he was nevertheless giving me unsolicited advice on "binding the strongman" over nations. He then began warning me about what I would be getting myself into if I tried it, though I had expressed zero interest. I eventually realized it was all code, and that what he was really doing was informing me that he served Satan, was inhabited by demons, and was using witchcraft on me. These "warnings" were coming from a complete stranger, who didn't even bother to ask me anything about my circumstances.
I must warn you, have humility and fear of Lord in you... This one is a powerful spirit (adversary) and you do not know what was coming to you till it hit you - Satan always creates circumstances that will distract you from Christ and Spiritual Warfare when you hit the spot with his works. He bends our perception in unimaginable ways. Make solid confession and some barriers should be broken. I would have never expected how many of the unclean spirits/demons can be sent to you, but they are, so we ourselves need to do confessions and receive deliverance for ourselves on daily basis almost. It would be best that more Christians start becoming aware and take interest in spiritual warfare... I am almost sure there must have been some kind of unpleasantnesses in your life after our discussion. It means we hit the spot and are on the right track - Tomek
The translation for those last two sentences was in reality: "If you have experienced unpleasantness in your life then we have hit the right spot, and our witchcraft is working on you. I hope you are praying to your God."
I asked a friend what he thought about those statements, and he said the same thing; that it read like a threat. So he offered to seek the Lord for a word about it on whether the man was legit or not. He came back a little later on with the following:
I prayed about the spirit in Tomexor. I saw a head shaking "No." I saw fangs like that of a predator, and I saw a skull. And in the middle of praying I lost sense of where I was, almost like falling asleep, but suddenly swung my arm really violently like slamming a door shut, or throwing something away. I don't know where that came from, but it woke me up.
I determined to wait for an additional confirmation before acting, but after hearing the Lord speak to me while in prayer, I knew beyond doubt what was going on. I had been having significant trouble in my marriage, and we seemed to be constantly at odds with each other, fighting over strange flukes that kept on creating misunderstandings. Once I knew where it was coming from, the jig was up. Satan had been exposed, and I wouldn't be falling for the same tricks anymore.
So what happens with those who perpetrate evils upon you in an attempt to destroy your life? Well, there's an old saying about Karma, and curses can be reversed upon the perpetrator if they push their luck too often. So one way or another, people who serve the darkness can end up reaping what they have sown if they are not careful. For me and mine, we continue on in the work that God has called us to, and nothing hinders it.
Blessings in Christ,
