Spiritual Warfare for our children

[moonglow]

Praise God! I am SO happy this worked for you! Keep up the good work....I have to say I am so happy to hear that I am not insane as was orginally thought...lol...or that I was seeing things when this worked on Nate. As I have said many times before...I still would not believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes MANY times!! It would be easy too convince myself I was seeing things if it had only worked once....but again and again and again???? Amazing...

Luke 10:17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord,
even the demons submit to us in your name.” 18 He replied, “I
saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19. I have given you
authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all
the power of the enemy: nothing will harm you. However, do not
rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your
names are written in heaven.”

God bless
Julie

I have to agree the results are amazing. God is good, all the time. I had the same scenario with Stephen since Julie and Karen has told me about rebuking the spirit. I too, won't tell his psychiatrist because they'll think I'm crazy. I've also told Stephen not to share with his psychiatrist he dreams about demons and feels like they chase him at night. Nor about the voices that told him to kill himself that first time. They'll think he's schizophrenic. I find that those that don't know about spiritual warfare or haven't had to deal with it think those of of who has are crazy. I tell you though, by the graciousness of God and the blood of Jesus my house is much calmer now and Stephen hasn't had a rage since I started rebuking. I know rebuke spritis out of my 2 yr old and its working too I've been praying and asking God to protect us as we sleep and the evil presences I had been feeling are gone.

I'm sure Satan is not done with me because God has work for me to do. So I just pray everyday and try to get closer and closer to God.

Julie,

You hit the nail on the head about the other boards for parents with neurological disorders. I was on a couple of different boards, quit one for about six months because it just seemed the same old thing. These kids weren't really getting better. But the last board I was on, After being on there for just a couple of weeks, I was feeling rather depressed, not much hope in my childrens disorders. I was starting to think that no matter what you tried it wouldn't help. I went on the second board to find out more on the ODD. I didn't know a whole lot about it, but wanted to know if my child was like others. And what I found out scared the heck out of me. These parents trying everything they could to help their children, to only find out that they are sitting in Jail, or having to be in a rehabilitation center. I was feeling overwhelmed, but I kept saying to myself, Jesus is with me, Jacob and Mary will not end up like that. But the more and more I read the more fear started to set in. Which fear comes from Satan not God. I found myself getting so wrapped up in what was happening to my children, that I was not paying as much attention to God. I found myself heading for the computer, before I had my morning prayer with the Lord. Not Wise.

I also know what you were talking about these terrible thoughts going through your head. I started having these horrible thoughts toward my four year old for about two years after he was born. I thought I was going insane. I didn't tell anyone about them because they were so horrible that I thought I would land my self in the psych ward, and I thought that my children would be taken away from me. I thought it was me not an evil spirit.

I think you brought up a good point. I hadn't even thought about rebuking the behavior by calling it what it really is. I will definantly start doing this in the name of Jesus.

I think your testimony is so awesome. I will write more later to you on this. There is more I want to say to you about what you wrote, but I think my husband is feeling neglected a little. So I am going to spend some time with him and get back with you tomarrow.

Thank you for showing me this board, it has already done wonders for me spiritually.

Your sister in Christ,

Elizabeth

Julie,

I am still thinking about your thread.... It is so awesome. I still can't stop thinking about all that you have conquered though Jesus's strength. To go from a child that had umteen diagnosis, down to two, with very little medication. That is so truely awesome. I know this would not have happened if it weren't for you faith in our Almighty God!

I was telling my Husband last night about how much you had gone through with your son. My husband said, sounds like you. Then I said, Do you realize that he is only down to two diagnosis? He said, really? I said, Yep and she did it by praying over her child's bahaviors and moods, and rebuking the spirit in the Name of Jesus. Ed said, that is so awesome. Well, Let's start doing that with our children. So Ed and I are going to do this together. I think it so awesome. We were already praying over our children everyday. We plead the blood of Jesus over them. We also ask for God's protection over their souls. Did not think about rebuking evil spirits. Well, I take that back, I did once, When I thought Jacob had demons in him. Because he had such an awful hateful attitude in him. I know that I have thought more than once was I really raising a serial killer? But I know that our family can and will fight the fight with good faith.

We just have to keep our mind on Jesus. Satan is scared of Jesus, and becomes a whimpering nothing when Jesus takes dominion over him. Satan has no power. That is why we put on the body of Armor for spiritual attacks. Our souls are know longer of this world, Are flesh is, and we fight with our flesh on a daily basis. But staying in the word of God, Keeping the faith in Jesus, separates us from this worldly God. Then minute we let our guard down, that is when we leave a seeping hole for satan to attack us.

You are so right when you said, your son is doing better with spiritual warfare, than anything else. Keep the body of armour on girl, Your doing an excellent job.

Thank you so much for this testimony, it has helped me in more than one way. You truely are a Woman of God.

Your sister in Christ,

Elizabeth

Julie,

I stumbled on to this thread by accident. When I started reading it, I found that I could not stop. I don't know why because I have been truly blessed and have never had to deal with any problems like this but it really grabbed my attention. However, during the middle of reading it (almost to page 2), my electricity went off and on really quick, shutting down my computer. Needless to say, it scared the day lights out of me. I mean it really freaked me out, so much so that I think I will have to discontinue reading it for now. Anyway, I just wanted you to know what a great thread you started here though and I hope it is helpful to others in your situation.

It's always good to revisit old threads.....I remember this thread being longer though.

I still believe that the enemy attacks us through our children!

[ComeLordJesus]

GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS SUBJECT.

I THOUGHT MY FAMILY WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE ENTIRE CHRISTIAN FAMILY THAT HAS HAD THESE THINGS HAPPEN OUR ENTIRE LIVES.

Why do only some experience this battle? Most never see the unseen things around them. I/we are not crazy or insane. ....yet I never got a reason from God why we see or hear the unseen evil things around us. Does HE have a bigger purpose? Are we just supposed to look like fools to the world?

We have seen evil things, demons, ghosts, heard voices, whatever since we were small children. I thought at the age of 5 while I visited a friends house that her house was different because there weren't any around her house like at our home. I thought every house had them. I saw those things most everywhere so I was surprised at 5up when I saw nothing. My parents always said that those things (ghosts) she said didn't hurt us they protected us, so don't be afraid of them. We saw objects fly..........like telphones after they rang. We saw toys fly or float around in the day time.

My children have had furniture turn over on them in the middle of the night like dressers, chest of drawers, chairs, with no explaination. We are used to wake up at 3 am with the same nightmare. We smelled the same awful scent then saw a ghost. Our dog used to walk in a round about way , as if, someone was blocking his route. He sensed evil. He saw things too that was unseen. Why us? We didn't want that life.

I am 55 years old and a grandma now. Only one at home with us and he is 29. I used the oil and did what you described and it got so much better around here. I still get sort of housebound though and can't seem to ever ride in a car without xantax first. I feel sometimes like a failure as a child of God. I want to be what He wants me to be, but I am scared all the time. Churches don't want to be bothered. I've been to a dozen that want no part of helping with the problems through the years. Unfortunately, I believe they are more afraid than I.

But, the annointing oil and prayers helped stop most of it here. I guess I am just angry and tired of it all. I am crying because I am happy you understand this unseen world we live in....and I am not alone with this knowledge. God Bless you all again for posting on this subject.

I still believe that the enemy attacks us through our children!

The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy(John10:10). That is why we need to put on the armour daily to stand against his wiles. Jesus gave us authority over the enemy for a reason. Because the powers of darlness are real, not fictitious as many think. Satan has his army of demons who are bent on our destruction. They come to entice, torment, afflict, deceive, discourage, oprress, to try and hinder your calling and from doing what God has called you to do. If you a threat to Satan's kingdom, Satan will try and destroy you.
Many christians don't know his tactics, they are lacking knowledge towards how the enemy operates. That is why Satan often goes unhindered. Jesus gave us power and authority over the enemy(Matthew10:1 and Luke10:19), but that is of no use unless we use it against the enemy. God wants His people free from bondage(Luke4:18, Acts10:38, 1st John3:8). But many are not being taught how to use the Sword of the Spirit(Ephesians6:17) against the enemy. The people of God need to be in prayer, reading their Word and binding the enemy and breaking strongholds in the name of Jesus. They need to prayerfully destroy the works of the enemy(spirtual warfare).

ComeLordJesus...I am sorry you are still struggling with anxieties and fears...have you tried rebuking these feelings in the Name of Jesus? Its something I struggle with at times too.. I used to have very severe depression...suicidle thoughts you know... I did the whole therapist medication thing but never seemed to get any better...until I learned to fight back and rebuke those thoughts. They would flee from me! Those dark terrible clouds in my mind would just leave...

The anixety has been harder to fight though....but in many ways its slowly getting better...


I will be praying for you!

God bless

My children have had furniture turn over on them in the middle of the night like dressers, chest of drawers, chairs, with no explaination. We are used to wake up at 3 am with the same nightmare. We smelled the same awful scent then saw a ghost. Our dog used to walk in a round about way , as if, someone was blocking his route. He sensed evil. He saw things too that was unseen. Why us? We didn't want that life.

Satan hates kingdom children. He hates us for serving the Lord. He wants to attack you and discourage you. It is important to rebuke his attack and command those demons to flee in the name of Jesus. My wife and I had a couple of incidents in our bedroom where there was a sulpheric smell. It was only in our bedroom and nowhere else in the house. We took authority over the devil and commanded the enemy to flee in the name of Jesus. We called upon the Lord to consume any demonic force that has come against us. We declared Isaiah59:19 which says "When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him." After doing warfare, the smell went away as the demon/demons were expelled by the power of the Lord.

I am 55 years old and a grandma now. Only one at home with us and he is 29. I used the oil and did what you described and it got so much better around here. I still get sort of housebound though and can't seem to ever ride in a car without xantax first. I feel sometimes like a failure as a child of God. I want to be what He wants me to be, but I am scared all the time. Churches don't want to be bothered. I've been to a dozen that want no part of helping with the problems through the years. Unfortunately, I believe they are more afraid than I.

It's certainly sad that many churches aren't doing what God has called them to do. If they were fully operating in the gifts of the Spirit mentioned in 1st Corinthians12:4-11, there would be people in the church that would pray with you and do warfare with you against enemy attacks. There is no reason why they should be afraid, for the Word of God says that He has not given us a pirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind(2nd Timothy1:7). When Jesus sent out His disciples in Matthew10:1-8, and the 70 followers in LUke10:1-19, He gave them power over all the works of the enemy. He gave them power to cast demons out. Demons should be afraid of us, not the other way around. Satan is a defeated foe. We have the victory in Christ over Satan.

If the church you went to does not want to help, is there any other churches in your area that is capable of dealing with this? I mean, it doesn't take much accept for them to know that we as believers have that authority and power over all the works of the enemy. Jesus said it in Mark16;17,18 "And these signs shall follow those that believe; In My name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents and scorpions(refering to demonic forces); and if they drink and deadly thing(not purposely of course), it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover."

Jesus said that we as believers have the power to cast Satan out in His Name. No church is to ignore that calling for many right in the church are bound and need to be set free.

Also, don't consider yourself to be a failure. You are "NOT" a failure! Your a child of God. You can do all things through Him who strengthens you(Philippians4:13). You are more than a conquerer in Christ(Romans8:37).

Several of our children have seen demons -- one of my daughters used to see them quite frequently -- they have also experienced various manifestations -- once one of my sons had his bed levitated.

I have never actually seen a demon myself, but I have had them sit on me while I lie in my bed at night, and I am unable to move a muscle, not even to cry out for help -- I cry out to Jesus in my mind and they lift off. This has happened more times than I can count. I have also had them pinch a nerve in my neck and cause me excrutiating pain on more than one occasion -- much much much worse than a simple muscle spasm.

I have been a target for demons my whole life -- it started when I was about 3 or 4 and used to hear them talking about me , hovering over me in my bed at nite.


Why? I don't know -- generational curse? I used to think so -- now I am not so sure -- and I don't waste any mental or emotional energy worrying about it. I am a target -- and I deal with it (many times not so successfully, like in the last couple of years.... )

I can't do the quote thing well but thanks to Moonglow and The J. Man for your prayers and posting.

Been to all the churches here for years. They are spiritual Holy Ghosts churches, but pass the buck. They pray for us at the altar but don't want to come to the house or teach us how to stop this activity. Or why? Or what now. Or why is it not everyone that experiences this? No answers. They kind of just walk away without answers. We are in the minority. It scares them and maybe because they aren't prayed up. I don't know.

My husband is a saved believer but doesn't want to acknowledge what happened. He won't stand with me against it. He hasn't grown far in his walk. Maybe he has.......I can't see into his heart or judge him. A wonderful husband for 35 years. I thank God for him.

Since the annointing has helped it is better here. Just got to get stronger so I can leave the house.

Oh, I had to run down to a neighbors years ago because it was happening at their house too when my daughter babysat the kids there. WE got clobbered after standing and rebuking them in the name of Jesus. Her friend Erika and 3 of us hand hands prayed and rebuked out loud in the name of Jesus etc and the hell broke out worse. Finally we had to run out because of things flying in the air at us. The kids were screaming. Since it wasn't my house it wouldn't listen to me or us. They laughed at us and got meaner. When outside they opened the drapes to mock us. They also grabbed my sons leg and held it and kept his shoe before he got free to go with us home. The owners just laughed. They know it is true but like them there.

I heard Steve King's books write about this stuff. He must have grown up and lived with it like I have to know so much. I hope he is saved.

I read This Present Darkness and books that are christian. They are fiction but made me feel better. I know God's angels are fighting with me for God's will to be done. I am not afraid to die, I am afraid to live. I know it is horrible but true. This is tiring. When I read these posts it encouraged me for the first time in a long while that you all believe it happens today in the year 2006. It is all around us lurking seeking whom it may devour. I just hope I've done what the Lord wanted me to in life so He isn't too disappointed. He can't be like the self righteous christians that are all puffed up. The comforter isn't like that with me. He is loving and understanding. That is why I am content here with Him. Outside it is more dangerous than here cause I don't know how to deal with what I see. I'd be rebuking 24/7 outside this house. Then the car quits....and I get stranded. My husband says we only have a hassel driving anywhere when I am with him. They all cars and things aim for us. How wierd.

Sooooo yes I'd love extra advice and prayers when you get time. I'll stop now.

J.
