Supernatural: Demonic Activity pt.2

There is a way to fend off demonic attacks on yourself or others.

Requirements:

Made Jesus Christ your Lord and saviour

Believe that their is such a thing as the supernatural, demons and angels.
      *You would be shocked at how many Christians don't actually believe in demons or angels,let alone the supernatural.

Have a bible that's in a translation that you understand.
      *Not everyone has the time to dissect "thees" and "thous", check all the different translation options to find the one that suits you.Reading the bible is not meant to be difficult.

Holy Water or Oil
      *You can easily make your own by pouring some olive oil into any container and pray over it in "Jesus Name". Once again, it's not a complicated thing that some churches make it seem to be.

Scriptures: Such as the "Full Armor of God" scripture, which you should always speak over yourself daily,but at least when you're dealing with the supernatural. Also scriptures that deal with binding and loosing spirits,

Matthew 18:18New International Version (NIV)

18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be[a] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[b] loosed in heaven.

Ephesians 6:10-17New International Version (NIV)

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God,so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvationand the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Supernatural:Demonic Activity pt.1

Everyone has experienced something of the supernatural sort, whether it be a weird dream of a dead relative speaking to you in your current state or an incident that should've killed you but you lived. There are countless other occurrences that we all have experienced but couldn't explain why.

Those unexplainable moments are usually supernatural.

Have you ever felt a presence behind you when you're alone?

Have you ever felt pressure on your chest while sleeping,to the point where you can't move?

Seen a figure in you room that shouldn't be there?

Felt your stomach churn whenever you go around a certain place or person?

Have consistent issues with insomnia or any mental illnesses?

This is just a small sampling of demonic activity that most people if not everyone has experienced at some point in their lives,typically in youth or as a young adult.

Demonic activity manifests is soo many different ways, which is why it is important to build your faith in the Lord by reading scriptures and doing research in the supernatural. The scriptures give you the protection you need as well as the authority to remove those demonic entities and to protect yourself and others around you.

Just know that if you have experienced demonic activity, it does not mean that you have been possessed, however you have to take action.

Tragedy

Tragic events happen everyday, but we are left confused as to how to react to life's tragedy. How are we suppose to feel or react to deaths of loved ones, deaths of those we hear about on television? Do we worry about our well being, do we become jaded or do we pray for those left behind?

The truth is that is no one way to react to tragedy. All we can do spiritually, is to pray for those left behind and pray for the circumstance to help benefit someone else. Sometime tragedy is what it takes for someone to come to the Lord, not that the Lord caused someone to die, but He can always turn what was meant for evil into something for the good.

It's always good to know that the Lord does not cause young children to die or suffer from diseases and illnesses. We have to remember that there is evil in the world and that we have free will-both combined can cause bad things to happen, unintentionally or intentionally. Regardless, God can turn all of it around when you believe. All young children belong to the Lord be default, so Satan may take their lives from them, but their spirit still belongs to the Lord and they will return to Him after death. This should at least give a modicum of reassurance during a time of grief/tragedy.

Make it a habit to pray for situations you hear about on the news, or things that are making you feel concerned or worried. It doesn't have to be a long prayer, just speak what comes to your heart.

Prepare

Preparation is one of the most underestimated task when thinking about the future.

A lot of families don't function in the area of preparation, whether it be preparing financially for retirement, future children's college fund, creating a rainy day fund for life's little hiccups or even money to be used for buying a home.

Understandably, most families would like to be able to prepare financially for life events, but the cost of living and the career options available make things a bit difficult. This is why having faith and building it up daily is important. The stronger your faith the bigger the mountains you can move. Write out what you need and want for your life as you see it right now,be as specific as possible. Look up a couple of scriptures that can support your desires/needs and write them down with that list and declare it to the Lord. Tell Him these are things that I desire and need for my future. Believe it and now it's time to do your part in the process.

If it is financial preparation, look at your finances and see if there are any reoccuring expenses that can be eliminated, at least for the time being, such as coffee trips, shopping sprees, cable, etc... Next see how you can consolidate your credit card debt whether it be by taking out a low interest loan or applying for a credit card with a good 0% APR promotion that you can transfer current debt to so you can pay off debt without a monthly APR piling up. Next, start putting up any cash or change you have at the end of every week, you'll be shocked at how much you're able to save at the end of a few months.

Preparation is one of the best tasks to  ever be given considering a lot life's events aren't preventable, so when ever you have the ability to prepare for something do it now, don't wait.

Ask, Believe, Receive

Throughout my spiritual journey thus far, my experience with “asking and receiving” has become solid. Despite what anyone may say or do, I will always believe that when I ask for something in prayer or declare to the Lord what I want to happen, I will have it.

It’s a simple concept that even an unbeliever can understand, although they may not believe in it. Not enough believers put this to practice for fear of their desires or needs not being fulfilled or feeling like they shouldn’t ask for things or situations to happen for them, that God will do whatever is necessary without having to make a request. 

Unfortunately, it is a tragic misunderstanding to think that doing what was already stated in the bible that you can do as something that you cannot. God of course knows exactly what you desire, but that doesn't mean that He will just make it happen if you don't voice it. 

You've probably seen a child trying to draw a butterfly, you both know that that's what the child is trying to draw and see that they are frustrated trying to make it look a certain way, but we don't interfere because they didn't ask for help nor do you want to hinder them from making mistakes and learning on their own how to keep trying until they get it right.

God, in a much bigger way does the same with us. He knows we need help but unless we stop and ask Him. 

We were after all given free will, use it!

God Is Good All The Time

I never really understood why people would say “God is good”, randomly, even if they aren’t doing well at the moment.

I think I have an idea of what it means or at least one of the possible meanings. Even if you feel like you are at your lowest, God is good-why? Because He has already worked out how you’re going to come up out of your present situation and all the while simultaneously time is placing that spark in a new mother’s womb who has been struggling with conceiving for years.

God is good

The same time someone is around the corner from reaching their healing from addiction, an old dying man is finally giving his life over to the Lord before it would’ve been too late.

God is good

Just because we may not see the light at the end of the tunnel right now it doesn’t even begin to diminish the amount of goodness God has in Him.

Remember that daily … God is good even when you’re doing bad…because He has already predestined your end result, it’s up to you to follow the path to that result.

Proverbs 12:1-6

Proverbs 12New King James Version (NKJV)

12 Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge,
But he who hates correction is stupid.

² A good man obtains favor from the Lord,
But a man of wicked intentions He will condemn.

³ A man is not established by wickedness,
But the root of the righteous cannot be moved.

⁴ An excellent^[a] wife is the crown of her husband,
But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

⁵ The thoughts of the righteous are right,
But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.

⁶ The words of the wicked are, “Lie in wait for blood,”
But the mouth of the upright will deliver them.

In the book of Proverbs some of the most basic guidelines on how to be a good successful person in life are outlined. Most people can simply say that you have to just be nice to people and giving in order to have good things come to you and to be successful, however there is a lot more to than that you need to follow to be as God wants you to be.

1.      Do not turn away instruction by others

2.      Recognize and accept favor

3.      Be righteous and wicked behavior/intentions won’t shake you

4.      (for women) Be the best wife you can be and not do/or say things that could negatively affect you/your marriage.

5.      Think/seek righteous thoughts/counsel

6.      Be upright and not wait for others to fall

This is just some of the traits that God looks for in people…not just believers, however it’s only the believers that see value in the bible and what His word has to offer. It’s proven to be easier to not know how you’re supposed to be so you can continue in your own ways, but if everyone knows exactly what the word of God says there would be no excuse to misbehave.
