(01:33):
So let's get in because it's going to be jam packed.
And I'm going to try to get through this episode as seamlessly as possible because it's It's going to be a little bit longer than previous episodes.
Okay.
So first I want to say some battles are fought with this, some with words and some without you even realizing are being fought in the spirit. 19 00:01:53,339.999 --> 00:01:59,300 There are forces at work, energies that move through people, through situations and through cycles in life.

(01:59):
.999And if you're not paying attention, if you're not spiritually aware, you'll find yourself trapped, manipulated and drain.
And misled before you even realize what's happening.
So I'm going to talk about 20 types of spirits that can influence, manipulate, and inhabit people.
.999Spirits that can show up in those around you, but also in yourself if you're not careful. 24 00:02:19,684.999 --> 00:02:23,974.999 This episode is about discernment, self awareness, and spiritual protection.

(02:24):
How do you recognize these spirits in others? How do you keep them from attaching themselves to you? And most importantly, how do you make sure that you're not the one carrying these energies into spaces and into relationships in your life? All right, let's go.
Look, some spiritual battles don't always look like exorcisms and possessions.

(02:45):
As you see in the movies, sometimes they look like toxic relationships.
Sometimes they look like sudden misfortune.
Sometimes they look like cycles that repeat over and over, no matter how hard you try to break free.
Sometimes they look like the way a person move their words, their actions, the energy that they bring it to the room. 31 00:03:04,534.999 --> 00:03:09,355 So we're going to dive into these 20 spirits, what they look like, how they operate.

(03:09):
And what, what you pretty much need to do to protect yourself from them.
Okay, so we're going to start off with the first spirit.
And this is the spirit that you guys probably have seen people talking about online.
And that spirit is the monitoring spirit. 36 00:03:24,779.999 --> 00:03:25,200 All right. 37 00:03:25,509.999 --> 00:03:27,169.999 This one is a silent enemy. 38 00:03:27,170.099 --> 00:03:28,200 It watches you.
It gathers information, but it's not there to support you.

(03:31):
It's here to report back.
You ever feel like every time you share good news, something goes wrong.
Like there's always a set of eyes on you waiting for you to slip.
That's because some people in your life aren't just keeping up with you.
They're monitoring you. 45 00:03:48,369.999 --> 00:03:54,680 This spirit works through jealousy, fake support, and people who smile at your face but secretly wants to see you fail.

(03:54):
They may not even know they're being used.
Some people just have an energy about them that attract.
Destructions.
You'll notice this spirit in people whom always want to know what's going on in your life but never share their own plans.
.999Act like they're rooting for you but never actually support your work.
.999Bring up old failures every time you take a step forward.

(04:17):
Somehow they always know your business and that's because they're watching.
The worst part, some people invite this spirit into their own lives by oversharing.
And I'm guilty of this because I'm an oversharer and I'm learning not to. 55 00:04:32,294.999 --> 00:04:36,225 And what I am learning though is that not everyone needs to know your next move.
Now, how do you protect yourself from this spirit you may ask? Well, 1.

(04:42):
Move in silence.
Period.
Just, just learn how to move in silence.
If they don't know what's coming, they can't block it.
2.
Stop giving access to people who don't bring value.
Ask yourself, if you stop telling them your plans, would they still be around? Three, I'm big on this one.
Pray for discernment.

(05:03):
Ask the universe for discernment.
You know, sit with yourself.
.9995Some enemies don't look like enemies until it's too late. 68 00:05:10,29.9995 --> 00:05:12,410 So discernment is really, really important.
.001And you may hear me using this word a lot during, the explanation of these spirits. 70 00:05:17,470.001 --> 00:05:26,10.001 All right, jumping into spirit number two, this is another one people are starting to talk about now, especially with this current political climate, this next spirit. 71 00:05:26,415.001 --> 00:05:28,245.001 Is the provoking spirit. 72 00:05:28,275.001 --> 00:05:29,935.001 This one thrives on conflict. 73 00:05:29,985.001 --> 00:05:31,525.001 It's not just about drama. 74 00:05:31,585.001 --> 00:05:34,535.001 It's about getting you to self destruct. 75 00:05:34,895.001 --> 00:05:46,875.001 Ever meet someone who just seems to push your buttons on purpose? Who knows exactly what to say to trigger you? Who always stirs the pot and causes tension?

And if you listen to it long enough, you'll start believing those lies. 127 00:09:26,60.001 --> 00:09:29,900.001 This spirit moves through procrastination. 128 00:09:30,80.001 --> 00:09:33,600.001 You keep delaying things because you feel you're not ready. 129 00:09:34,150.001 --> 00:09:35,510.001 It moves through self doubt. 130 00:09:35,590.001 --> 00:09:39,450.001 Even when you're fully capable, you second guess yourself. 131 00:09:40,50.001 --> 00:09:49,520.001 Avoidance, you don't apply for opportunities, you don't take risks, you don't step outside your comfort zone because of fear and perfectionism.

(09:49):
And this is the one that gets me. 133 00:09:51,750.001 --> 00:09:54,710.001 I'm speaking from some sort of experience for some of these.
.001All right. 135 00:09:55,720.001 --> 00:10:01,380.001 And with perfectionism, you feel as if you can't, if you can't do it perfectly, you shouldn't do it at all. 136 00:10:01,410.001 --> 00:10:03,590.001 That has stopped me from doing a lot of things. 137 00:10:03,590.001 --> 00:10:04,800.001 I have a lot of projects. 138 00:10:05,195.001 --> 00:10:11,305.001 That I haven't put out in the past because I felt like it wasn't perfect this year You will see me putting out project. 139 00:10:11,305.001 --> 00:10:23,715.0005 You've seen me put out two books so far I have a sculpture project coming out because I've learned that Not everything has to be perfect and in order to grow you have to get it out there and see the response. 140 00:10:23,715.0005 --> 00:10:27,820.001 Okay, no Fear will keep you in the same place for years. 141 00:10:27,840.001 --> 00:10:32,50.001 If you let it, it will convince you to settle for less than you deserve. 142 00:10:32,310.001 --> 00:10:41,960.001 It will keep you in toxic relationships, dead in jobs and miserable situation because it makes the unknown seem scarier than the pain you already know.

(10:42):
.001Now, how to protect yourself move through fear. 144 00:10:47,720.001 --> 00:10:56,140 The only way to break free of fear is grip is to do what is trying to stop you from doing to rewrite your thinking. 145 00:10:56,455.001 --> 00:10:57,965.001 Fear thrives on lies. 146 00:10:58,285.001 --> 00:11:00,435.001 Start speaking truth over yourself. 147 00:11:00,605.001 --> 00:11:01,725.001 I am capable. 148 00:11:02,5.001 --> 00:11:03,15.001 I am strong. 149 00:11:03,295.001 --> 00:11:04,355.001 I am ready. 150 00:11:04,515.001 --> 00:11:07,265.001 You know, I'm, I'm big on speaking life of myself.

(11:07):
.001Three, take a small step. 152 00:11:10,845.001 --> 00:11:13,255.001 Like, you don't have to take one big leap.
.001Just take small steps. 154 00:11:15,865.001 --> 00:11:19,255.001 Fear loses its power every time you prove it wrong. 155 00:11:19,875.001 --> 00:11:20,795.001 All right, now. 156 00:11:21,190.001 --> 00:11:21,710.001 Five. 157 00:11:21,720.001 --> 00:11:26,770.001 This is another one that is a big one that gets a lot of people in trouble. 158 00:11:26,780.001 --> 00:11:27,210.001 Okay. 159 00:11:27,900.001 --> 00:11:31,130.001 That is the spirit of lust. 160 00:11:31,410.001 --> 00:11:32,330 Now, let me be clear. 161 00:11:32,330.001 --> 00:11:33,940.001 Lust isn't just about sex.

(11:34):
.001Lust is desire without discipline. 163 00:11:36,840.001 --> 00:11:41,629.901 It's craving something so badly that you're willing to sacrifice your peace, your morals. 164 00:11:41,690.001 --> 00:11:43,830.001 Or your purpose just to have it. 165 00:11:44,660.001 --> 00:11:57,140.001 This spirit operates through sexual temptation, jumping into relationships based on attraction alone and ignoring red flags, addiction, not just to sex, but to anything that gives you temporary. 166 00:11:57,270.001 --> 00:12:05,990.001 Pleasure, like substance, gambling or power and post control issues, making reckless choices just because something feels good in the moment. 167 00:12:06,450.001 --> 00:12:12,500.001 Obsessive desires, wanting something so badly that you ignore the consequences. 168 00:12:12,790.001 --> 00:12:14,810.001 Lust clouds your judgment.

(15:11):
.001It convinces you that you are unworthy of love, success, and happiness.
It makes you settle for less.
It makes you choose people who don't value you.
.001It keeps you stuck in a cycle of proving yourself to people who you were never meant for in the first place. 227 00:15:29,220.001 --> 00:15:47,100.001 This spirit operates through Abandonment wounds, feeling unworthy because of past rejection from parents, partners, or friends, fear of intimacy, pushing people away before they can leave you, people pleasing, overextending yourself just to be accepted. 228 00:15:47,985.001 --> 00:15:50,55.001 Settling for toxic relationships. 229 00:15:50,95.001 --> 00:15:55,365.001 A lot of people do this thinking mistreatment is normal because you don't feel deserving of better. 230 00:15:56,155.001 --> 00:16:02,595 Rejection makes you feel like you always have to earn love, prove yourself and fight to be chosen. 231 00:16:02,925.001 --> 00:16:05,125.001 It convinces you you're not enough. 232 00:16:05,410.001 --> 00:16:06,150.001 As you are. 233 00:16:06,460.001 --> 00:16:12,360.001 And the worst part, if you don't heal from it, you start rejecting yourself before anyone else can. 234 00:16:12,690.001 --> 00:16:19,380.001 You stop going after opportunities, you assume people won't like you, you settle for situations that don't serve you.

(16:19):

(16:44):
.001If rejections have followed you all of your life, it's time to deal with it at the root. 244 00:16:49,605.001 --> 00:16:51,205.001 Okay? And three. 245 00:16:51,590.001 --> 00:16:56,10.001 This may be the simplest, but also the hardest stop chasing people who aren't for you. 246 00:16:56,700.001 --> 00:16:59,600.001 The right people won't need convincing to be in your life. 247 00:16:59,690.001 --> 00:17:00,700.001 I promise you. 248 00:17:00,830.001 --> 00:17:01,50.001 Okay. 249 00:17:01,630.001 --> 00:17:02,580.001 I promise you. 250 00:17:03,580.001 --> 00:17:08,780 Now this is another spirit that's going to be, popular that's kind of talked about. 251 00:17:09,40.001 --> 00:17:12,70.001 And that is the spirit of manipulation. 252 00:17:12,120.001 --> 00:17:14,910.001 It's also known as the Jezebel spirit, which. 253 00:17:15,100.001 --> 00:17:16,830.001 You guys probably know from the Bible. 254 00:17:17,290.001 --> 00:17:20,920.001 This is the spirit that controls, deceives, and dominates. 255 00:17:21,540.001 --> 00:17:23,420.001 It doesn't always use its force. 256 00:17:23,450.001 --> 00:17:29,780.001 Instead, it works through subtle manipulation, guilt, emotional control, and oftentimes seduction.

(17:30):
.001This spirit operates through emotional manipulation, making you feel guilty for setting boundaries. 258 00:17:36,395.001 --> 00:17:41,345.001 Control and domination, always needing to be in charge, refusing to compromise. 259 00:17:41,745.001 --> 00:17:46,75.001 Deception and seduction, using charm and lies to influence others. 260 00:17:46,615.001 --> 00:17:50,975.001 Playing victim, twisting a narrative to avoid accountability. 261 00:17:51,295.001 --> 00:17:55,875.001 This spirit is behind toxic relationships where one person has all the control. 262 00:17:56,165.001 --> 00:18:03,435.001 It's the reason why people stay in abusive situations, because the manipulator makes them feel like they're the problem.

(18:04):
It's also found in leaders who control their followers through fears and lies.
It's in friendships where someone always makes you feel like you owe them something.
It's in workplace environments where someone is always pulling the strings behind the scenes.
.998How do you protect yourself? Recognize manipulation for what it is. 267 00:18:22,444.998 --> 00:18:28,324.999 If someone always twists the truth, makes you feel guilty or control your decision, pay attention. 268 00:18:29,844.999 --> 00:18:31,274.999 Set strong boundaries. 269 00:18:31,584.999 --> 00:18:35,354.999 Manipulative people hate when you stop allowing them to control you. 270 00:18:35,414.999 --> 00:18:40,104.999 They hate it! Three, don't let guilt trick you into submission. 271 00:18:40,154.998 --> 00:18:45,179.899 If someone truly loves you, they won't have to manipulate you into doing what they want. 272 00:18:45,929.999 --> 00:18:49,909.999 All right, jumping right on in and to the ninth spirit. 273 00:18:50,459.999 --> 00:18:54,219.999 Now we're about to talk about the spirit of confusion. 274 00:18:55,569.999 --> 00:19:01,629.999 This is the spirit that disrupts clarity, clouds your judgment, and keeps you stuck in indecision. 275 00:19:01,929.998 --> 00:19:04,519.998 It makes you question yourself consistently. 276 00:19:04,579.998 --> 00:19:06,869.999 It makes you second guess every choice. 277 00:19:07,189.998 --> 00:19:10,799.999 It keeps you feeling lost, uncertain, and mentally

really happening in your life. 282 00:19:26,569.999 --> 00:19:31,709.998 Emotional stability, one day you're feeling confident, the next day you're doubting everything. 283 00:19:32,19.998 --> 00:19:33,979.999 Confusion is a powerful weapon. 284 00:19:34,219.999 --> 00:19:38,409.999 And I don't think people understand that, and that's because it makes you stay stuck. 285 00:19:39,104.999 --> 00:19:41,134.999 It's kind of like the spirit of stagnation. 286 00:19:41,404.999 --> 00:19:46,834.999 It convinces you that you don't know what to do, so you do nothing at all. 287

00:19:54,734.999 It's also a major tool of manipulation. 290 00:19:54,984.998 --> 00:19:59,524.999 People will intentionally confuse you so that you rely on them for directions. 291 00:19:59,944.999 --> 00:20:04,814.999 It happens in relationships, friendships, and workplace, and even spiritual communities. 292 00:20:05,709.999 --> 00:20:06,879.999 How to protect yourself. 293 00:20:07,519.999

always feel confused around certain people or situation, that's a sign of manipulation. 301 00:20:33,154.999 --> 00:20:35,224.998 It's a sign of spiritual manipulation. 302 00:20:35,284.998 --> 00:20:42,514.998 Guys, again, be self aware, be more discerning, and you'll be able to recognize some of these spirits. 303 00:20:42,554.998 --> 00:20:42,934.998 All right. 304 00:20:44,434.998 -->

00:21:24,304.997 --> 00:21:29,634.998 And that's not meant to be confused for somebody that's just going into hermit mode, that need time to recharge. 320 00:21:29,634.998 --> 00:21:32,634.998 No, it's just like, you just don't want to be around anyone at all. 321 00:21:33,734.998 --> 00:21:34,624.998 Hopelessness. 322 00:21:34,954.998 --> 00:21:38,814.998 Feeling like nothing will ever change,

that nothing will ever improve. 325 00:21:46,194.998 --> 00:21:51,524.998 And if it goes unchecked, it can make you even give up on everything, even your life. 326 00:21:52,24.998 --> 00:21:54,684.998

00:41:23,144.998 --> 00:41:26,164.998 I told you this podcast was going to be a little longer than the other ones. 650 00:41:26,244.998 --> 00:41:28,964.998 I'm seeing that it's maybe quite longer than the other ones. 651 00:41:29,14.997 --> 00:41:34,824.997 Maybe we're going on probably a good 20 minutes longer than my previous podcast, but we're going to continue. 652 00:41:34,824.997 --> 00:41:35,834.998 We're going to finish this. 653 00:41:36,194.998 --> 00:41:36,574.997 All right. 654 00:41:37,224.997 --> 00:41:41,594.998 The last spirit I'm going to talk about is, the spirit of division. 655 00:41:42,104.998 --> 00:41:47,444.998 That's the spirit that destroys relationships, friendships, families, and even entire communities. 656 00:41:47,574.998 --> 00:41:54,454.998 We're kind of seeing the spirit, and I would say even countries, we're seeing the spirit of division happen now with this political climate. 657 00:41:54,804.998 --> 00:41:58,164.997 Alright, this spirit works by turning people against each other. 658 00:41:58,174.998 --> 00:42:02,554.998 It thrives on chaos, misunderstanding, and broken connections. 659 00:42:02,984.998 --> 00:42:22,964.898 This spirit operates through gossip and backbiting, people spreading negativity to cause division, jealousy and envy, creating unnecessary competition between people, broken relationships, family members, close friends or business partners turning against each other, miscommunication, small misunderstandings turning into a fight. 660 00:42:22,964.998 --> 00:42:24,674.998 Full blown conflicts. 661 00:42:25,14.998 --> 00:42:28,344.998 This spirit loves to tear down what was meant to be strong. 662 00:42:28,674.998 --> 00:42:32,654.997 It works over time and families breaking generations apart. 663 00:42:32,814.998 --> 00:42:37,404.998 It's the reasons why people who once loved each other now move like enemies. 664 00:42:37,604.997 --> 00:42:40,514.997 And the worst part, it often works in secret. 665 00:42:40,544.998 --> 00:42:45,104.998 You don't even realize the vision is happening until the damage is already done. 666 00:42:45,414.998 --> 00:42:47,944.998 So here's how we're going to protect ourselves. 667 00:42:48,784.998 --> 00:42:49,204.998 1. 668 00:42:49,484.998 --> 00:42:51,564.998 Recognize when division is being planted. 669 00:42:51,574.998 --> 00:42:55,4.998 If someone is always bringing negativity, question their motives. 670 00:42:55,264.998 --> 00:42:55,684.998 2. 671 00:42:55,924.998 --> 00:42:57,644.998 Communicate clearly. 672 00:42:57,964.998 --> 00:43:02,734.998 A lot of division happens because it's a simple misunderstanding. 673 00:43:03,54.998 --> 00:43:03,544.998 3. 674 00:43:03,654.997 --> 00:43:05,334.997 Be mindful of who you trust. 675 00:43:05,394.998 --> 00:43:09,824.998 Not everyone that brings you news has good intention. 676 00:43:10,64.998 --> 00:43:13,249.898 So always question the person that is bringing you the bone. 677 00:43:13,459.998 --> 00:43:24,429.998 All right, now, whew, baby, now we've talked about these 20 spirits, how they move through others, how they can show up in your life and how to protect yourself from them. 678 00:43:24,779.998 --> 00:43:28,39.998 But now I need to ask you the hardest questions of all. 679 00:43:28,109.998 --> 00:43:31,729.997 Okay, so don't be mad friend, but I'm about to ask you a hard question. 680 00:43:33,199.998 --> 00:43:37,749.998 Are you carrying one of these spirits? It's easy to point fingers at others. 681 00:43:37,809.998 --> 00:43:40,249.998 It's easy to say, that's them, not me. 682 00:43:40,259.998 --> 00:43:44,739.998 But the truth is, we all have moments where we allow these spirits to operate in our lives. 683 00:43:44,819.998 --> 00:43:45,619.997 And that's facts. 684 00:43:45,949.998 --> 00:43:47,459.998 So let's do a self check. 685 00:43:47,809.998 --> 00:44:16,719.998 Have you ever spread gossip that divided people?
