Brea (00:00):
Spiritual warfare can come in so many different ways
Family, friends, co-workers,strangers, road rage is
spiritual warfare within itself.
The only person I can speakwith is God.
Right, he made it clear, likeyou know, this is spiritual
warfare, right, if you're notpraying and believing in what
you're praying, then it's hardto break it in the spirit, Like,
(00:22):
god is always going to hear ourprayers, but he wants us to
step out of faith.
God assures us that he willprotect us through it.
All Right, but also we have todo our part.
We have to be to him, lean, notto our own understanding.
Pray the blood over us.
Pray the blood over us.
Unscripted, unrehearsed andunplugged conversations with
(00:54):
your sisters in the spirit.
Welcome to godly sisters.
Hi, welcome to godly sisters.
I'm your host, brita marcel,and this is my lovely co-host,
kristaa Camila, aka Texas West.
Hi.
So today we are talking aboutengaging through spiritual
warfare, through prayer and alsoPsalms 91, the Bible, using the
(01:15):
Bible for spiritual warfare,yes, so our first topic is
understanding warfare, spiritualwarfare, right, right, so it
says.
The question is whatconstitutes spiritual warfare
and how does it manifest in ourlives and communities?
Today, I'm going to let youtake this one Honestly spiritual
(01:37):
warfare can come in so manydifferent ways.
It can come through your mind.
They said that the mind is abattlefield.
Bible says the mind is abattlefield and the enemy can
invade in truths with thoughtsand thoughts that are not of god
.
Um, it can come through, uh,the people that you associate
(01:57):
with family, friends, co-workers, strangers, people that you
don't drive with on the road.
Road rage is spiritual warfarewithin itself.
It can come through a lot ofdifferent things.
It can even come throughtechnology.
Yes, I mean even us trying toset this up and do the
production for this.
We had some spiritual warfare.
(02:17):
We had to pray againsttechnology because the enemy did
not want us to do that.
So spiritual warfare can comein many different ways, but it's
important for us to be able toknow how spiritual warfare and
understanding how spiritualwarfare works, so that we know
how to combat it while it'shappening, instead of being like
, oh dang, that was the enemy orthat was, you know, the inner
(02:41):
me that was fighting againstmyself or causing self-sabotage
or whatever.
So, yeah, and I just want togive like a real life example,
just in a small minute type ofthing, that happened Okay, but
it still happened and I stillhad the engage and I did not
quote unquote.
That's my blessing, okay.
So one day I was going shoppingwith my mom and I had my
(03:04):
youngest son with me and shedecided she was like oh, you
want to get coffee?
I'm like, yeah, let's get it.
I was going to pay and you knowit's a big deal when you with
your mom.
So I was like, oh, hey, sosorry.
So we get to the window and aswe're at the window, I remember
like hey, I got points.
Um, hey, I got points.
So I'm asking the guy because weordered, like just a lot of
(03:24):
like things or whatever.
So I'm like what are you thesepoints towards?
I'm just like asking.
And he's like he doesn't reallyunderstand what I'm saying.
I guess not, I'm not sure, butI'm just like, yeah, how can,
how can I use these points?
And I don't really come here andliterally out of nowhere, the
manager walks up to the frontwindow and just like, oh, he's
(03:47):
not understanding what you'reasking.
It's not a big deal, you're okay.
I'm like no, I'm just like, I'mokay.
Like you made what?
And like the fleshly me wantsto.
Like who are you talking to?
Like who are you dealing with.
Like I wanted to meet her whereshe's at, but it was just like
(04:10):
this has nothing to do with meand her.
This is a spirit that's in them, like I'm like I'm going to
have a wonderful day with my momand my kid.
We're just going to enjoy this.
And I didn't want to match herenergy because I don't know what
her energy is coming from,right, right.
So it gets me jumping back ather, as my flesh wanted to do,
(04:32):
because I'm not a punk, right,that's annoying.
I'm not a punk.
I could not meet her therebecause I don't know what god
has in store for me and I'm notgonna let them block me.
And when I say them, then theperson and the spirits that are
working within them.
So I just come, like I'm gonnastuff.
I say you know what I am.
(04:53):
Okay, it's fine, I'll use thesepoints another day.
It's not a big deal.
I'm gonna go off and enjoy myday, my day.
But you're at work, man.
I'm just saying I mean, becausewhen I'm mad at work, that's so
sad.
When I'm mad at work, I closemy laptop, whatever I don't know
(05:14):
.
But I just have to like okay,lord, don't worry.
And after that we reprayedbecause we already prayed, you
know, before we got on the road.
But it's like, oh no, I'm notgoing to deal with this type of
spirit because that same spiritcan find me again.
Right, because that spiritwanted me to engage, because I
literally did nothing.
Right, I did nothing.
(05:36):
And that's something that wehave to be aware of is going
back to that awareness, becausethe enemy doesn't have access to
our actual thoughts, like hecan't hear our thoughts.
He can hear what we speak,right, but he does have access
to our emotions and a lot of thetime he will try to evoke our
emotions through other people.
(05:56):
Yes, so it's so.
Let's say, if she did act itthrough her flesh, then he
engaged the thoughts, engaged,uh, uh, what am I trying to say?
Engaged the spirit within thatperson and operated to invoke
her emotions and piss her off,and then she would have reacted
and possibly lost her blessingor lost at least her, her, um,
(06:20):
joy that she had for that dayalready, because you had
equipped yourself to have joyjust being a christian.
It's a guilt, right, like I?
I know I supposed to presentmyself a certain way.
As best as I can, I try to movein as fruits of the spirit
right as as possible.
So what if someone is lookingup to me and my question why?
But they see me acting, a folkthat I let my flesh take over,
(06:42):
and then it's just like a guilt.
I know I know a lot of us feelthat like why did I let that man
make me mad?
Why did I let that person makeme mad?
I'll never see this personagain.
But they done really stopped myday and it done turned into a
thing and I'm like I don't evenknow this person.
Or like you, still walkingaround hours later, like why am
I mad, why am I upset?
(07:06):
Or why do I feel this way?
It makes me defensive to others,like, oh well, she kind of
sounds like the other one, soit's just, you could have went
the rest of the day, uh,matching her energy and giving
it to other people, or lettingthat spirit find me again.
Oh, yeah, exactly.
So it's just like oh, this is adifferent day, I just need to
go home and reset.
Yup, you know, because we havethose days too.
It's like why is everybody?
Oh, this is a different day, Ijust need to go home and reset.
Yeah, you know, because we havethose days too, it's like why
is everybody bothering me?
(07:26):
Like this is a crazy day, right, I need to just reset, I just
need to go sleep, right, that'sspiritual warfare.
Exactly so, to equip yourselfwith spiritual warfare, one of
the scriptures that we pointedout is Ephesians 6 and 12.
Yes, for our struggle is notagainst flesh and blood, but
against the rulers, against theauthorities, against the powers
(07:49):
of this dark world and againstthe spiritual forces of evil in
the heavenly realms.
And Ephesians 6 is justcritical in general, like that
goes from when you going out ina day to when you going to sleep
at night.
We have to put on the wholearmor of God it is crazy out in
(08:14):
a day to when you going to sleepat night.
We have to put on the wholearmor.
Yes, it is crazy out in thesestreets, so you have to armor
yourself.
Like, of course, in thephysical, we have to be wise and
use wisdom right to be carefuland have our head on the swivel.
But in the spiritual realm aswell, we have to put on the
whole armor of god, from yourchest plate of righteousness to
your sword of the spirit, toyour boots of peace, your belt
of truth, your helmet ofsalvation and your shield of
faith.
You have to stay equipped, yes,so we just need to be mindful.
(08:38):
And just daily struggles, notjust the attacks that go bump at
the night, but also just likedaily struggles because and it's
funny, I used to say this to myson he'll ask me to pray for
him at night because he'll, youknow, he's scared of the dark.
And I'll say this he can't actlike a devil all day.
I asked him what To wrap you atnight.
(08:59):
I was like you been partyingwith the devil all day when the
sun was out.
Now, as many times as you tuckyour neck, you won't clean your
room.
Now, all of a sudden, no, nowyou want to part.
Oh, now, you love Jesus.
So we just have to.
Just that's why he says praywithout ceasing.
Right, this is a continuousthing, right, so we have to
(09:19):
constantly put on our wholearmor through prayer.
And then that segues into thenext one, the power of prayer.
What does prayer serve?
Serve as a potent weapon inspiritual warfare, in the
schemes of the enemy?
I have something to tell you onthis one.
(09:39):
Not too long ago, it was ananniversary of some things that
happened that you know, weretraumatizing, right?
And I'm just like, oh, whereare all these thoughts coming
from?
Are they?
Are they are you?
They come from you, right?
Or Lord, are you telling me,like, is this you're trying to,
(10:01):
you know, show me the way, or isthis?
I was just asking, lorde, like,yeah, um, so it was just like an
anniversary of trauma, right,and the anniversary I'm like,
lorde, is this.
Are you trying to let me know,like this is what's happening?
Or like, are you trying to warnme, or is this trauma like
(10:22):
resurfacing, because the enemyknows that this is an
anniversary of that specificsituation?
And so I'm like, what do I do?
Do I need to keep my mouth shut?
Should I act on it?
Should I like, how should Ihandle this?
And I remember I was just in theroom praying and I was like
(10:45):
didn't I warn you before?
If that was happening, I wouldhave warned you again.
If that was gonna happen again,I would have warned you.
Oh, like the trauma was gonnahappen again.
Yeah, I would have warned you,okay, because he spoke to me the
first time, mm-hmm.
And he was like boom, boom,boom, bam.
(11:07):
I know exactly what it is,mm-hmm.
This sounded like is it me oris this you Right?
But I realized it was the enemytrying to play into my emotions
, like you said once before.
But I wouldn't have never foundthat out, because when I tell
you the enemy, he was just likeusing technology.
All of a sudden, I'm gettingTikToks and Insta messages and
(11:31):
my friends are calling me withsimilar situations and just all
those type of things that makeyou say, ok, was all this coming
to me for it?
And it's funny because I have avery close family member that
I've been praying through somethings and me reaching out to
her and her reaching out to mefor prayer was actually healing
(11:54):
my heart and he really spoke tome.
The whole spirit was like Itold you before I wouldn't have
told you.
If that's something anymore, itain't nothing to worry about.
You're good, you passed thetest.
Right Now it's for you to pullback and reach back and help
somebody that is now currentlygoing through it.
So I was like, lord, is it this?
(12:14):
Because it got to the pointwhere I didn't even want to
answer the phone.
So I'm like, is that spiritcoming to me now?
Like am I picking up theirtrauma and putting it on me?
Right?
So, but when I start reallypraying and seeking his face
about and asking directquestions or give me clarity,
tell me what's going on, tell mehe literally was like grab and
(12:40):
tell him he wasn't listening.
Yeah, because I'm trying tofigure it out on my own, right,
right, so, so you know we haveto constantly, because the devil
got straight there.
Now I don't know if you guysjust got rid of what I said.
The devil was tricking methrough an anniversary of trauma
and also letting people aroundme go through those things and
(13:01):
reach out to me for guidance andprayer.
Mm, hmm, and it started playingwith my mind and my in my life,
right, and I'm being torn inexcitedly because I don't want
to speak that over my life,right, right, so I'm just like I
can, the only person I canspeak with God, right, so he, he
(13:21):
made it clear like, oh, this isspiritual, what, right, yeah,
and I was going to say, like,for me, you get, we can go, like
, when it comes to prayer, atthe end of it, you just have to
believe.
Yes, you have to believe, like,and it sounds so easier said
(13:43):
than done, but you just have tohave faith in what you pray.
And it wasn't no begging thing.
Like I know, we talked about itbefore in the episode on, like
knowing how to pray, um, andthat's uh, I want to say it's
episode five, uh, the sevendeadly fears.
So go back and listen to thatto hear more in detail.
(14:04):
But like we have to pray indecree, I think, and we have to
say that it is done and we haveto know that it is done because
we prayed it and also we'reusing the words of god to to
speak prayer.
So this book, I'm gonna promotethis book.
We ain't we ain't getting notype of sponsorship, but this
(14:25):
book is amazing.
It's called prayers that workby, uh, kevin l a ewan, and he
speaks using in this book a lotof the prayers have scriptures
to back it up.
It literally says use thescriptures that bring change.
This is how prayers work.
And so when I say that scriptureand I say my memory is blessed
(14:47):
and the same angels that youhave in Psalms 91 fighting on my
behalf, I'll call on thosems 91fighting on my behalf.
I'll call on those angels tofight on my behalf so I can
remember my dream.
And it's important to rememberour dream, because that is
another spiritual tactic thatthe enemy uses to attach himself
to us.
Um, through dreams, if you'reeating things, if you're, if a
(15:07):
dog is chasing you or a snake orlike, all of this stuff
actually has meaning, there aresymbols to it.
So you can be coming intocovenant with a thing and you
don't even know at all, and thenor you can't remember you did
or you can't remember that youdid.
So that's why I call on mymemory and I use scripture and I
pray so that I can, I can givemy memory back and I can
(15:31):
renounce those covenants that Imight've made in my dream,
knowingly or unknowingly, or Ican come into agreement with a
God dream.
God may send me a dream andgive me warning or give me
foresight of what's gonna happenin the future, so I can come
into agreement with what he said.
So that's on the, I would wouldsay, less urgent scale.
(15:53):
On the urgent scale I had and Ifeel like I did share this in a
previous episode but my baby wasattacked by the enemy in a time
where I was disappointed and Iwas upset with god, and in that
attack I fell on my knees and Istarted to pray and in that that
moment, my prayers wasn'tworking and I didn't understand
(16:13):
why my prayers wasn't working.
So I called my dad and I'm likedaddy and I'm hysterical.
I'm like daddy, I need you topray.
It's something attacking.
He can't say Jesus, and so hetrying to pray on speakerphone
and it's going out Lord help.
And I'm like daddy, I can'thear you.
And so then he was like calmdown, go to your prayer closet,
(16:36):
play some worship music.
I'm going to call you back.
So maybe 20 minutes go by.
By this time my husband got home.
I'm trying to tell him what'shappening.
Things are a little bit morecalm, but my baby's still acting
the same way.
He was scared, he didn't wantto be alone, he didn't want you
know to to go anywhere withoutus.
He's been saying that it's amonster in his room all day,
(16:58):
right?
And so then, as I'm talking tomy husband, he goes out of
nowhere.
He goes daddy, you want to goplay?
And he was like, yeah, but I'mtalking to mommy, right?
And he was like, okay, I'mgonna play.
And he just got down and ran tohis room by himself and I'm
like, oh heck, no, it took overmy baby because he's been
(17:19):
attached to me all day.
Who are you?
Who are you?
Where are you from, right?
So now I'm really freaked out.
And so then my dad calls, maybea minute later.
He's like, how is he acting?
I'm like daddy, daddy, hefreaking me out, like he just
went to the room and he want toplay.
He was like no, that's him.
I felt it break in the spirit.
He was like when I was prayingI saw a vision that something,
(17:41):
whatever it was attached to him,it ran out of y'all house.
He was like it broke in thespirit and he was like but,
krista, you didn't believe.
He was like I don't know what'sgoing on with you, but you did
not believe your prayers.
That's why I had to get off thephone with you.
It wasn't working because youwas not believing in what you
were saying and that was onlybecause I had went through that
(18:03):
little tat with God.
He never left me, but I lefthim.
Okay, so and so it.
I say all of that to say that ifyou're not praying, then it's.
If you're not praying andbelieving in what you're praying
, then it's hard to break it inthe spirit, like god is always
gonna hear our prayers, but hewants us to step out of faith
(18:25):
and know that our belief and ourfaith in him is 100 right, and
so he, so he's never going tojust forsake us.
But we have to take the extrastep to actually believe in what
he says.
Right and it says.
It always says it in his word,like everything that we need
prayers for is in his word.
So if you don't know how topray, one, this book is a great
(18:47):
beginner book if you're tryingto learn how to pray.
But also like we got to stay inour words so that we can use
the word of God in our prayersto combat the enemy.
Right, and that's a good segueinto the promises God's promises
of protection, and the thingabout it is is that God assures
(19:09):
us that he will protect usthrough it.
All Right, but also we have todo our part.
We have to lean to him, leannot to our own understanding.
Pray the blood over us, takethe blood over us, daily, walk
with us.
We pray, not only we.
I feel like the body of Christ.
Right now we're in a season ofjust oh Lord, give me favor,
(19:31):
give me prosperity, give meprosperity, give me this, this,
this, but also, with all thoseblessings, what they're saying
more money, more problems, newlevels, new devils.
You also have to be praying andpleading the blood not over
just you, over your children,over your home, anointing your
home, protecting your home,calling his angels down, using
(19:54):
his word once again against him,saying Lord, you said that you
will be our strong tower, so Ineed you to be our strong tower.
That's what we have to remainto do, because in this world
right now, it is crazy.
Y'all, y'all, just not even whenyou're just thinking about the
political things.
You're not just thinking aboutpolitical things.
(20:15):
You're thinking about justprices, inflation, just the wars
, just all these things that'sgoing on.
Natural disasters, you hearabout trafficking, you hear
about drugs, one-time use, youjust being around and sniffing,
and then even just like some ofthe malls are crazy, like, even,
(20:39):
just like attacking ourchildren, just all these
different things are happening.
When that rocket going up, I'lltry to go to malls or something
.
I ain't try to be here at Earth.
I didn't see that Because theymessed up more.
If they messed up Earth, theycan mess up Mars.
So let that trumpet just go.
But then, too, it's like you'reso distracted with life, like
(21:02):
it's sometimes, that you justhave to remind yourself to be
there with God too.
Right, like, oh, yeah, god, I'mso sorry I've been so swamped,
but you need to just be therewith him.
And, like I said, we,unfortunately, how they teach
you to be a Christian is likeevery time you have to throw
yourself down on your knees andsay, oh, dear Lord, heavenly
(21:22):
Father, no, sometimes you haveto say, lord, I need you right
now, lord, I need you.
Lord, give me strength, lord,lord, give me peace.
Lord, give me strength, lord,lord, give me peace, jesus wept.
If I'm there, jesus wept, andI'm waking right now and I'm
like teacher, lord, help meJesus, help me, lord, I need a
nap.
Jesus, help me, lord, let meget up under your wings, like
you say, lord.
(21:44):
So just things of that natureand the scripture that we have
to back that over, uh, to backthat up, is psalms 91, 1 and 2
whoever dwells in the shelter ofthe most high will rest in the
shadow of the almighty, I willsay of the lord.
He is my refuge, he is myfortress, my god, who I trust.
(22:04):
Yes, so you just have toremember those simple things.
And if you can't remember, itin is Bible apps, write them
down, put them around yourmirror in the morning, have you
write those affirmations?
You know how you do thoseaffirmations.
Like I'm the first familymillionaire that should be right
next to it.
I have shelter under the mosthigh Mm-hmm.
(22:25):
Ok, he is my fortress Because,guess what, you're going to be
the first millionaire but youalso will have a lot of deals
that come with that.
So also, it's not just alwaysbe the outsiders trying to steal
your money or the scammersthat's trying to steal your
money.
It's going to be family members.
They don't think that youdeserve it, that bar.
They don't think that they haveto give it back.
(22:46):
Right, because she got it, hegot it.
Right, because she got it, hegot it.
They're okay.
But now you're going to have tocome to terms with that and be
okay with that Right, and stillsee that family member and still
show them the grace of God andlove Period.
Our next point of topic isovercoming fear and anxiety.
Question is how can believersovercome fear and anxiety
(23:10):
through the promises of psalm 91in the midst of spiritual
warfare and honestly, that goesby just knowing, like, if I have
this fear, what can replacethis fear?
And it's faith, yes, it's faithin knowing that god has us and
(23:31):
like he wants us to be able tokeep the fruit to the spirit or
be joyous in hard times, likefinding that little glimpse of
hope, that little glimpse oflight through him.
And I know it sounds so simple,but it's like you can't say
that when people are grieving,like you can't say that when
people are grieving, like youcan't say that when you know it
(23:54):
just seems like the world aroundyou is just collapsing.
I get it Like we're human right, but at the same time we know
that there is a good God andhe's always going to use
whatever is getting us down,whichever is making us sad or
having despair.
He's going to use it for hisgood.
(24:15):
He's going to be able tostrengthen you in an area that
maybe you didn't know, that youneed the strength for, and we
have to overcome fear andanxiety by knowing whose we are.
Yeah, it's fun.
I had a doctor's appointment awhile ago and I don't know.
I've shared this with youbefore.
(24:37):
Right, I've on around my.
Yeah, so check some otherepisodes.
I'm not sure if people know,but when I was eight months
pregnant with my youngest son, Ihad brain aneurysm and it
occurred on the outside of mybrain that actually deals with
my speech, and thank God that Istill have my speech.
(24:59):
Hey, y'all and um, I still haveto like get tested and things
of that nature, right.
And it was this beautifulelderly woman.
We were there for the same testand we're just in a waiting
room.
We're like in our scrubs andeverything, just waiting on them
to come and get us, and sowe're just talking.
They're taking forever, sowe're just talking, right, and
(25:20):
at that time my babies are inthe car with my mom, so I'm just
like waiting on my husband's atwork.
So I'm like, okay, well, we'rejust talking about it, amy, and
everything.
And so she.
So she was like so you're soyoung, why are you here?
And I'm like, oh, and I'm justtelling her like oh, yeah, I had
a brain freeze and it causedseizures.
(25:42):
I was like what?
And just like I'm telling herlike all my little, like mom
conditions, right.
And she's like what?
Oh no, and you can just tell,like her thinking I'm just going
to say like something small, Iguess.
And she was like like her faceliterally like turned and she
(26:04):
felt so sad for me Girl, don'tbe sad.
I'm like I'm good, I'm here,I'm talking to you, I'm working.
I'm like I'm good, I'm here,I'm talking to you, I'm working,
I'm like I'm here.
And I was like girl there's alot of people that went through
way less and not here, right,and I can speak, I can talk, I
can thrive, I can do a lot ofthings that they didn't know and
(26:26):
they told my husband and myparents like I don't know, you
know, we'll just see whathappened.
They, they couldn't really tellit.
So I'm like no, don't feel thatway.
And she was just like, how canyou be so positive?
You're so young?
And I was like, because thisway, it's like, but that's the
worst thing, and I'm justgrateful for what I have and
(26:46):
what I've been through, becausethis is going to be a testimony
to somebody right, that they canmake it.
And god is still using me, right, because I don't think yet
exactly, and so, but it's thefaith, um, and I didn't start
with that thing I had to have tobuild.
I had to build that faiththrough my relationship with the
lord right, and so I had toovercome that fear, because I
(27:07):
did really struggle with anxietyand fear because it's like I
don't want my kids to grow upwith me and things of that
nature, just natural things thatyou think of, right.
But however, god has kept meand he wakes me up daily.
So I just stay in thankfulness,thanksgiving of my heart and my
(27:28):
spirit, and also I built thatfaith with him where I just I
know back to protection, he'sgoing to protect me, right?
He wouldn't take me this farjust to drop me and say, well,
that was her life.
No, he promises that we willhave a long life.
He promises that in his word.
He promised that he would givethe desires of our heart and he
(27:49):
knows my desires is to see mygreat-grandchild Right, and not
in the sky, but here, right inthe physical.
So he's gonna give me that and,like I said, it wasn't easy,
even when I'm in the storm orgoing through the storm or in
the thick of it.
All right, it wasn't easy, butI did it because I had to.
What's?
What's the alternative?
Roll over and die?
No, give it to the devil forwhat.
I need it.
(28:09):
I had to.
What's the alternative?
Roll over and die, right, giveit to the devil for what?
For what Right?
So we just have to be mindfulof that.
Oh, and also Psalms 91.
Play that at night.
They have so many videos onYouTube.
Play it at night.
You see, she leaves her Bibleopen.
I leave my Bible to size 91.
We need to do that and that'sthe scripture that we tie with
(28:33):
this.
Psalm 91, five through six, youwill not fear the terror of the
night, nor the arrow that fliesby day, nor the pestilence that
stops in the darkness, nor theplague that destroys at midday".
And that and like this, issomething that I go to pretty
much on a daily, because youknow, you see all the stuff
(28:54):
that's happening in the MiddleEast, like it's just, it's a lot
, it is a lot to date.
In Like, sometimes I get onsocial media, I see everything
that's going on and like, yeah,I know that the way that the
world is set up, we are in theend days, we're in the in the
(29:14):
last evil days, rumors of wars,we see wars, we see all this
stuff happening and it's enoughto scare you and just want you
to just have that fear or thatworry that is gonna touch your
home, yeah, that is gonna.
It's gonna touch your family,that's gonna touch your friends
and around your area.
(29:34):
But ultimately, every time whenthat fear or that worry tries
to overcome me, I say I recitethis prayer because I believe
that and I know that he willprotect and I know that he will
protect my family and anybodywho I'm in association with.
Like it, don't go just to meand my circle.
I'm like anybody that I justmet on the street right.
(29:55):
Protect them just because theycame, because they came across
me.
I know that you love me thatmuch, just to protect somebody
that I just said hello to on thestreet Right.
And so we got to have that typeof faith and that type of
belief in knowing that he willkeep us and he will protect us.
But, like the three Hebrew boyssaid, but even if he don't, I'm
(30:18):
still going to serve him.
Right, I will still serve himand I will never bow to another
god.
Right, because I know who mygod is.
Yes, okay, so, sheesh, yeah, Iknow.
Right, that was, that was, thatwas good.
Um.
It says, uh, a quick about howcan believers actively engage in
(30:42):
spiritual warfare, using god'sword as a weapon to combat, uh,
to combat spiritual strongholdsand deceptions?
Uh, and then our solution isjust renewing your mind of
scripture, praying and aligningwith god's will and standing
firm against, uh spiritualattacks.
You have to have a boldness, alevel of boldness against the
(31:05):
enemy, because they will boldlycome against you.
You know how you had all thatboldness when they tried you at
the club.
Try that boldness when thedevil is attacking your heart,
when the devil is attacking yourfamily, when the devil is
attacking your friends, whenit's attacking your marriage,
your children.
Have a boldness, your householdhave that same boldness and you
(31:26):
stand up and be courageous likeI don't know if god's gonna sex
no, he will, but you have tocall on him and his warning
right.
Have that bold boldness evenwith uh warlocks, uh witches and
all that, because we know thatthose things right now are very
prevalent, like people arerunning to different sidekicks,
different warlocks andeverything like that.
(31:48):
It's a miracle, it's astrologyand all that stuff and all that.
But we have to be bold whenwe're coming to God against
these things, because sometimesit is people that you know that
are attacking you for jealousy,envy and things of that nature
Right, but it's, you know, thatare attacking you for jealousy,
envy and things of that nature,right, but it's also people that
are attacking you that you haveno idea who they are, why
(32:11):
they're doing it, what are theygetting out of this?
And we have to be just as both.
And, speaking of that, we alsoChristians do not be afraid to
prayer, to pray.
109.
109.
Psalms 109.
(32:32):
Girl, yeah, hold up, becauselet me say this before you read
it, because I know you know howthey'll be like oh, the Lord
will the what's the scripture?
I can't remember the exactscripture, but it said the Lord
will make your enemies yourfootstool.
I remember I'll be praying andthat will come to mind.
I'm like boy, well, you ain'tgot to make my footstool.
(32:52):
Like, just give them grace, god.
Yeah, give them mercy, god,change their heart.
And I will literally pray forpeople who pray on my downfall,
who pray evil things amongst me,onto me or my family, or on my
children.
I don't pray mercy, no more,because they don't have no mercy
(33:14):
and no compassion for you andif not them, it's hysteria.
So we gotta pray against them,like we pray against the enemy,
because that is the enemy.
So when it comes down to it,like Psalms 1 or not, come on,
you got it.
I'm not going to pray the wholething, but I know this was the
part.
The first time I ever prayed itI was like I'm not saying that,
(33:39):
that's just, that's a lot.
That is a lot, that is a lot.
So it says may his children befatherless, his wife be a widow.
Next chapter Hold on.
It says next oh, thank you.
So it says next chapter let hischildren continuously be a
(34:03):
vagabond and beg.
Let them seek their bread alsofrom death to live place like
come on, oh my jesus, let hiscreditor seize all he has.
Let strangers thunder his labor, let their hell that fuck.
Let there be none to extendmercy to him, nor let any favor
(34:28):
be to him and his fatherlesschildren".
Like God ain't playing, hedon't play about you.
God is not praying about hischildren.
So we got to be bold enough topray.
These people, these witches,these war, these warlocks,
whatever new age, whatever youwant to call them.
They are bold enough to prayagainst us dead.
(34:52):
Uh, they want us to be broke.
They want us to, uh, be incovenant with spirit spouses
they want us to be.
They do all of this stuff toattack us and we sitting up here
saying, lord, let's.
Yes, there are some enemies thatwe are supposed to be.
That wasn't any of us.
But then there are some that wegot.
It's just some that we have towar in the spirit again, exactly
(35:15):
, and that we have to call God,and his just is not our just.
That's why, when people say, oh, only God can judge me, you
don't want God to judge you,because I know I have prayed for
my enemies and I have seen themand I'm like God, they only did
this to me.
Why would you do that to them?
Right, and I'm really prayinglike, ooh Lord, please, bless
(35:36):
them, please, please, please,just have mercy on them, please.
I'm sorry, lord, have somemercy.
Can I do a take back?
Right, can I do a take back?
So those are the things.
But we also he gave us this wordto know how to warn the spirits
, but we have to use the wordagainst our enemies.
That's what it's for.
It's simple, that's what it'sfor.
(35:58):
And, like I said, when I firstread that scripture, I mean that
chapter and you was like ew, Iwas like this is a lot.
I'm not saying that.
But the more and more thatspiritual attack, I had to get
that boldness in me because itwas attacking everything around
me and I cannot suffer that.
I will not suffer that foranyone.
(36:19):
And also, you have to realizethese are coming from people
that heart has been hurt, right,that they have no, they're
wicked.
They're wicked and it's some ofthem that will be changed, but
it is some of them that willnever change, right, you know?
That's why the Bible also tellsus to not give prayers to the
swine.
Don't pass your prayers to theswine, because it is some people
(36:43):
that you will never reach andit's unfortunate and it hurts
your heart, but it's just whatit is.
So we'll just pray for them,bless them, but if they keep
coming, hey, he's going to getthis word, you're going to get
this word.
He told us what to do, so wegot to do it, right, right, and
another scripture to go withthat is 2 Corinthians 10, 4-5.
(37:05):
The weapons we fight with arenot the weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they havedivine powers to demolish
strongholds.
We demolish arguments and everypretense that sets itself up
against the knowledge of God,and we take captive every
thought to make it obedient toChrist.
And that's as simple as that.
Sometimes I even use thatprayer when my thoughts are
(37:29):
intrusive, or if the enemy hasput an intrusive thought, I say
that same as I demolish everyargument, every pretense that
sets itself against theknowledge of God.
And we have to do that, like wehave to stay ten toes down, we
have to, we have to, we have to.
We have no choice.
And the thing about this is thatthat's a great way to, but I
(37:51):
know everybody can't rememberscripture, so I know sometimes
I'll just say a quick prayerlike Lord, if any of these
thoughts are not yours, removethem now.
Right, any feelings that I'mhaving is not from you.
Remove them now and then.
Or and I it's been many timeslike I had a spirit of heaviness
.
Or they have so many prayers,um, a good, uh war, uh, warfare
(38:17):
prayer.
Oh, sydney tram, sydney tram,y'all.
She has like a 30 minute SydneyTramp.
I put those on also, so like,but it's many people like yes,
it's a lot of warfare prayers.
Listen to them first.
Don't just put them on and belike, yeah, I agree to
everything.
No, actually listen to whatyou're listening to, because the
(38:37):
enemy is conning, he's veryconning.
He's not just gonna be like, oh, let me put on this eight hours
and then they'll put, put it,they'll slip something in there,
cause they know you're notlistening to the whole eight
hours, right, but put on likewith people that you trust, put
it on.
Pray, that's and that's.
If you don't know what to pray,lord, give me what to say.
Read your Bible, he will.
He will help your vocabulary,right, he will give.
(38:59):
Sometimes I pray and I don'teven know what to pray, just
like sometimes I have fasted andI don't know what I'm fasting,
lord, but guess what?
He will reveal it to me why I'mfasting, because I'm making
that sacrifice for him.
So he knows my heart wants that.
So we just have to constantlyseek his faith.
Y'all Seek his faith.
David was not perfect, but heconstantly.
(39:22):
He wanted to please God, a manat the God's own heart, right,
that's constantly just trying.
Our best isn't gonna always beour best to us, right, but it is
perfect to him because ourheart postures are correct,
right.
So we just have to rememberthat.
Like, don't just constantlyseek your mind and your heart
portion to be correct.
And I ask him to renew myspirit, my mind, every day.
Holy Spirit, you are welcome.
(39:43):
And in closing, we have toremember that at the end of the
day, it's already written thatChrist has victory.
The battle is already won.
Yes, the battle is already won.
Yes, and that's why you do seeso much happening in the world
is because the devil is justtrying to do any last little
(40:03):
things that he can do before heis completely defeated.
He already know that he'sdefeated and now he's actually
coming to his demise.
So he's trying to do Throw in atemper tantrum, like, take
everybody and take as much as hecan with him.
He's trying to take as much ashe can because you have to
realize that he was not createdfor us.
(40:24):
He was created for him and thedemons that follow, the angels
that follow him, the fallenangels that follow him, but now
attacking us because God lovesus so much and we are his
creation that he literally madein his own image.
So he wants to take us.
(40:45):
He wants to take as many as hecan of his children to hell with
him.
It was not created for us, buthe will make you think he's the
king of blots, that he's goingto take you with him, that you
will have all these riches andgreat things.
But it's not true.
He will never share his kingdomBecause he the king of lies,
(41:08):
he's a source of all evil, allwickedness.
So we just have to stay mindfulof that and God's children that
love and serve and adore you,that he's constantly attacking
you and it's not fair.
It's not always like, yeah, I'ma super christian.
No, that's just how.
(41:29):
That's why you have to keep theword in your heart, so those
days that you aren't feelinglike a super christian, you can
just pour his word, and you can.
You can just ask for strength.
You can ask for that in abidingprayer.
So these are just the thingsthat we just want to say.

Spiritual warfare can come in so many different ways
Family, friends, co-workers,strangers, road rage is
spiritual warfare within itself.
The only person I can speakwith is God.
Right, he made it clear, likeyou know, this is spiritual
warfare, right, if you're notpraying and believing in what
you're praying, then it's hardto break it in the spirit, Like,
(00:22):
god is always going to hear ourprayers, but he wants us to
step out of faith.
God assures us that he willprotect us through it.
All Right, but also we have todo our part.
We have to be to him, lean, notto our own understanding.
Pray the blood over us.
Pray the blood over us.
Unscripted, unrehearsed andunplugged conversations with
(00:54):
your sisters in the spirit.
Welcome to godly sisters.
Hi, welcome to godly sisters.
I'm your host, brita marcel,and this is my lovely co-host,
kristaa Camila, aka Texas West.
Hi.
So today we are talking aboutengaging through spiritual
warfare, through prayer and alsoPsalms 91, the Bible, using the
(01:15):
Bible for spiritual warfare,yes, so our first topic is
understanding warfare, spiritualwarfare, right, right, so it
says.
The question is whatconstitutes spiritual warfare
and how does it manifest in ourlives and communities?
Today, I'm going to let youtake this one Honestly spiritual
(01:37):
warfare can come in so manydifferent ways.
It can come through your mind.
They said that the mind is abattlefield.
Bible says the mind is abattlefield and the enemy can
invade in truths with thoughtsand thoughts that are not of god
.
Um, it can come through, uh,the people that you associate
(01:57):
with family, friends, co-workers, strangers, people that you
don't drive with on the road.
Road rage is spiritual warfarewithin itself.
It can come through a lot ofdifferent things.
It can even come throughtechnology.
Yes, I mean even us trying toset this up and do the
production for this.
We had some spiritual warfare.
(02:17):
We had to pray againsttechnology because the enemy did
not want us to do that.
So spiritual warfare can comein many different ways, but it's
important for us to be able toknow how spiritual warfare and
understanding how spiritualwarfare works, so that we know
how to combat it while it'shappening, instead of being like
, oh dang, that was the enemy orthat was, you know, the inner
(02:41):
me that was fighting againstmyself or causing self-sabotage
or whatever.
So, yeah, and I just want togive like a real life example,
just in a small minute type ofthing, that happened Okay, but
it still happened and I stillhad the engage and I did not
quote unquote.
That's my blessing, okay.
So one day I was going shoppingwith my mom and I had my
(03:04):
youngest son with me and shedecided she was like oh, you
want to get coffee?
I'm like, yeah, let's get it.
I was going to pay and you knowit's a big deal when you with
your mom.
So I was like, oh, hey, sosorry.
So we get to the window and aswe're at the window, I remember
like hey, I got points.
Um, hey, I got points.
So I'm asking the guy because weordered, like just a lot of
(03:24):
like things or whatever.
So I'm like what are you thesepoints towards?
I'm just like asking.
And he's like he doesn't reallyunderstand what I'm saying.
I guess not, I'm not sure, butI'm just like, yeah, how can,
how can I use these points?
And I don't really come here andliterally out of nowhere, the
manager walks up to the frontwindow and just like, oh, he's
(03:47):
not understanding what you'reasking.
It's not a big deal, you're okay.
I'm like no, I'm just like, I'mokay.
Like you made what?
And like the fleshly me wantsto.
Like who are you talking to?
Like who are you dealing with.
Like I wanted to meet her whereshe's at, but it was just like
(04:10):
this has nothing to do with meand her.
This is a spirit that's in them, like I'm like I'm going to
have a wonderful day with my momand my kid.
We're just going to enjoy this.
And I didn't want to match herenergy because I don't know what
her energy is coming from,right, right.
So it gets me jumping back ather, as my flesh wanted to do,
(04:32):
because I'm not a punk, right,that's annoying.
I'm not a punk.
I could not meet her therebecause I don't know what god
has in store for me and I'm notgonna let them block me.
And when I say them, then theperson and the spirits that are
working within them.
So I just come, like I'm gonnastuff.
I say you know what I am.
(04:53):
Okay, it's fine, I'll use thesepoints another day.
It's not a big deal.
I'm gonna go off and enjoy myday, my day.
But you're at work, man.
I'm just saying I mean, becausewhen I'm mad at work, that's so
sad.
When I'm mad at work, I closemy laptop, whatever I don't know
(05:14):
.
But I just have to like okay,lord, don't worry.
And after that we reprayedbecause we already prayed, you
know, before we got on the road.
But it's like, oh no, I'm notgoing to deal with this type of
spirit because that same spiritcan find me again.
Right, because that spiritwanted me to engage, because I
literally did nothing.
Right, I did nothing.
(05:36):
And that's something that wehave to be aware of is going
back to that awareness, becausethe enemy doesn't have access to
our actual thoughts, like hecan't hear our thoughts.
He can hear what we speak,right, but he does have access
to our emotions and a lot of thetime he will try to evoke our
emotions through other people.
(05:56):
Yes, so it's so.
Let's say, if she did act itthrough her flesh, then he
engaged the thoughts, engaged,uh, uh, what am I trying to say?
Engaged the spirit within thatperson and operated to invoke
her emotions and piss her off,and then she would have reacted
and possibly lost her blessingor lost at least her, her, um,
(06:20):
joy that she had for that dayalready, because you had
equipped yourself to have joyjust being a christian.
It's a guilt, right, like I?
I know I supposed to presentmyself a certain way.
As best as I can, I try to movein as fruits of the spirit
right as as possible.
So what if someone is lookingup to me and my question why?
But they see me acting, a folkthat I let my flesh take over,
(06:42):
and then it's just like a guilt.
I know I know a lot of us feelthat like why did I let that man
make me mad?
Why did I let that person makeme mad?
I'll never see this personagain.
But they done really stopped myday and it done turned into a
thing and I'm like I don't evenknow this person.
Or like you, still walkingaround hours later, like why am
I mad, why am I upset?
(07:06):
Or why do I feel this way?
It makes me defensive to others,like, oh well, she kind of
sounds like the other one, soit's just, you could have went
the rest of the day, uh,matching her energy and giving
it to other people, or lettingthat spirit find me again.
Oh, yeah, exactly.
So it's just like oh, this is adifferent day, I just need to
go home and reset.
Yup, you know, because we havethose days too.
It's like why is everybody?
Oh, this is a different day, Ijust need to go home and reset.
Yeah, you know, because we havethose days too, it's like why
is everybody bothering me?
(07:26):
Like this is a crazy day, right, I need to just reset, I just
need to go sleep, right, that'sspiritual warfare.
Exactly so, to equip yourselfwith spiritual warfare, one of
the scriptures that we pointedout is Ephesians 6 and 12.
Yes, for our struggle is notagainst flesh and blood, but
against the rulers, against theauthorities, against the powers
(07:49):
of this dark world and againstthe spiritual forces of evil in
the heavenly realms.
And Ephesians 6 is justcritical in general, like that
goes from when you going out ina day to when you going to sleep
at night.
We have to put on the wholearmor of God it is crazy out in
(08:14):
a day to when you going to sleepat night.
We have to put on the wholearmor.
Yes, it is crazy out in thesestreets, so you have to armor
yourself.
Like, of course, in thephysical, we have to be wise and
use wisdom right to be carefuland have our head on the swivel.
But in the spiritual realm aswell, we have to put on the
whole armor of god, from yourchest plate of righteousness to
your sword of the spirit, toyour boots of peace, your belt
of truth, your helmet ofsalvation and your shield of
faith.
You have to stay equipped, yes,so we just need to be mindful.
(08:38):
And just daily struggles, notjust the attacks that go bump at
the night, but also just likedaily struggles because and it's
funny, I used to say this to myson he'll ask me to pray for
him at night because he'll, youknow, he's scared of the dark.
And I'll say this he can't actlike a devil all day.
I asked him what To wrap you atnight.
(08:59):
I was like you been partyingwith the devil all day when the
sun was out.
Now, as many times as you tuckyour neck, you won't clean your
room.
Now, all of a sudden, no, nowyou want to part.
Oh, now, you love Jesus.
So we just have to.
Just that's why he says praywithout ceasing.
Right, this is a continuousthing, right, so we have to
(09:19):
constantly put on our wholearmor through prayer.
And then that segues into thenext one, the power of prayer.
What does prayer serve?
Serve as a potent weapon inspiritual warfare, in the
schemes of the enemy?
I have something to tell you onthis one.
(09:39):
Not too long ago, it was ananniversary of some things that
happened that you know, weretraumatizing, right?
And I'm just like, oh, whereare all these thoughts coming
from?
Are they?
Are they are you?
They come from you, right?
Or Lord, are you telling me,like, is this you're trying to,
(10:01):
you know, show me the way, or isthis?
I was just asking, lorde, like,yeah, um, so it was just like an
anniversary of trauma, right,and the anniversary I'm like,
lorde, is this.
Are you trying to let me know,like this is what's happening?
Or like, are you trying to warnme, or is this trauma like
(10:22):
resurfacing, because the enemyknows that this is an
anniversary of that specificsituation?
And so I'm like, what do I do?
Do I need to keep my mouth shut?
Should I act on it?
Should I like, how should Ihandle this?
And I remember I was just in theroom praying and I was like
(10:45):
didn't I warn you before?
If that was happening, I wouldhave warned you again.
If that was gonna happen again,I would have warned you.
Oh, like the trauma was gonnahappen again.
Yeah, I would have warned you,okay, because he spoke to me the
first time, mm-hmm.
And he was like boom, boom,boom, bam.
(11:07):
I know exactly what it is,mm-hmm.
This sounded like is it me oris this you Right?
But I realized it was the enemytrying to play into my emotions
, like you said once before.
But I wouldn't have never foundthat out, because when I tell
you the enemy, he was just likeusing technology.
All of a sudden, I'm gettingTikToks and Insta messages and
(11:31):
my friends are calling me withsimilar situations and just all
those type of things that makeyou say, ok, was all this coming
to me for it?
And it's funny because I have avery close family member that
I've been praying through somethings and me reaching out to
her and her reaching out to mefor prayer was actually healing
(11:54):
my heart and he really spoke tome.
The whole spirit was like Itold you before I wouldn't have
told you.
If that's something anymore, itain't nothing to worry about.
You're good, you passed thetest.
Right Now it's for you to pullback and reach back and help
somebody that is now currentlygoing through it.
So I was like, lord, is it this?
(12:14):
Because it got to the pointwhere I didn't even want to
answer the phone.
So I'm like, is that spiritcoming to me now?
Like am I picking up theirtrauma and putting it on me?
Right?
So, but when I start reallypraying and seeking his face
about and asking directquestions or give me clarity,
tell me what's going on, tell mehe literally was like grab and
(12:40):
tell him he wasn't listening.
Yeah, because I'm trying tofigure it out on my own, right,
right, so, so you know we haveto constantly, because the devil
got straight there.
Now I don't know if you guysjust got rid of what I said.
The devil was tricking methrough an anniversary of trauma
and also letting people aroundme go through those things and
(13:01):
reach out to me for guidance andprayer.
Mm, hmm, and it started playingwith my mind and my in my life,
right, and I'm being torn inexcitedly because I don't want
to speak that over my life,right, right, so I'm just like I
can, the only person I canspeak with God, right, so he, he
(13:21):
made it clear like, oh, this isspiritual, what, right, yeah,
and I was going to say, like,for me, you get, we can go, like
, when it comes to prayer, atthe end of it, you just have to
believe.
Yes, you have to believe, like,and it sounds so easier said
(13:43):
than done, but you just have tohave faith in what you pray.
And it wasn't no begging thing.
Like I know, we talked about itbefore in the episode on, like
knowing how to pray, um, andthat's uh, I want to say it's
episode five, uh, the sevendeadly fears.
So go back and listen to thatto hear more in detail.
(14:04):
But like we have to pray indecree, I think, and we have to
say that it is done and we haveto know that it is done because
we prayed it and also we'reusing the words of god to to
speak prayer.
So this book, I'm gonna promotethis book.
We ain't we ain't getting notype of sponsorship, but this
(14:25):
book is amazing.
It's called prayers that workby, uh, kevin l a ewan, and he
speaks using in this book a lotof the prayers have scriptures
to back it up.
It literally says use thescriptures that bring change.
This is how prayers work.
And so when I say that scriptureand I say my memory is blessed
(14:47):
and the same angels that youhave in Psalms 91 fighting on my
behalf, I'll call on thosems 91fighting on my behalf.
I'll call on those angels tofight on my behalf so I can
remember my dream.
And it's important to rememberour dream, because that is
another spiritual tactic thatthe enemy uses to attach himself
to us.
Um, through dreams, if you'reeating things, if you're, if a
(15:07):
dog is chasing you or a snake orlike, all of this stuff
actually has meaning, there aresymbols to it.
So you can be coming intocovenant with a thing and you
don't even know at all, and thenor you can't remember you did
or you can't remember that youdid.
So that's why I call on mymemory and I use scripture and I
pray so that I can, I can givemy memory back and I can
(15:31):
renounce those covenants that Imight've made in my dream,
knowingly or unknowingly, or Ican come into agreement with a
God dream.
God may send me a dream andgive me warning or give me
foresight of what's gonna happenin the future, so I can come
into agreement with what he said.
So that's on the, I would wouldsay, less urgent scale.
(15:53):
On the urgent scale I had and Ifeel like I did share this in a
previous episode but my baby wasattacked by the enemy in a time
where I was disappointed and Iwas upset with god, and in that
attack I fell on my knees and Istarted to pray and in that that
moment, my prayers wasn'tworking and I didn't understand
(16:13):
why my prayers wasn't working.
So I called my dad and I'm likedaddy and I'm hysterical.
I'm like daddy, I need you topray.
It's something attacking.
He can't say Jesus, and so hetrying to pray on speakerphone
and it's going out Lord help.
And I'm like daddy, I can'thear you.
And so then he was like calmdown, go to your prayer closet,
(16:36):
play some worship music.
I'm going to call you back.
So maybe 20 minutes go by.
By this time my husband got home.
I'm trying to tell him what'shappening.
Things are a little bit morecalm, but my baby's still acting
the same way.
He was scared, he didn't wantto be alone, he didn't want you
know to to go anywhere withoutus.
He's been saying that it's amonster in his room all day,
(16:58):
right?
And so then, as I'm talking tomy husband, he goes out of
nowhere.
He goes daddy, you want to goplay?
And he was like, yeah, but I'mtalking to mommy, right?
And he was like, okay, I'mgonna play.
And he just got down and ran tohis room by himself and I'm
like, oh heck, no, it took overmy baby because he's been
(17:19):
attached to me all day.
Who are you?
Who are you?
Where are you from, right?
So now I'm really freaked out.
And so then my dad calls, maybea minute later.
He's like, how is he acting?
I'm like daddy, daddy, hefreaking me out, like he just
went to the room and he want toplay.
He was like no, that's him.
I felt it break in the spirit.
He was like when I was prayingI saw a vision that something,
(17:41):
whatever it was attached to him,it ran out of y'all house.
He was like it broke in thespirit and he was like but,
krista, you didn't believe.
He was like I don't know what'sgoing on with you, but you did
not believe your prayers.
That's why I had to get off thephone with you.
It wasn't working because youwas not believing in what you
were saying and that was onlybecause I had went through that
(18:03):
little tat with God.
He never left me, but I lefthim.
Okay, so and so it.
I say all of that to say that ifyou're not praying, then it's.
If you're not praying andbelieving in what you're praying
, then it's hard to break it inthe spirit, like god is always
gonna hear our prayers, but hewants us to step out of faith
(18:25):
and know that our belief and ourfaith in him is 100 right, and
so he, so he's never going tojust forsake us.
But we have to take the extrastep to actually believe in what
he says.
Right and it says.
It always says it in his word,like everything that we need
prayers for is in his word.
So if you don't know how topray, one, this book is a great
(18:47):
beginner book if you're tryingto learn how to pray.
But also like we got to stay inour words so that we can use
the word of God in our prayersto combat the enemy.
Right, and that's a good segueinto the promises God's promises
of protection, and the thingabout it is is that God assures
(19:09):
us that he will protect usthrough it.
All Right, but also we have todo our part.
We have to lean to him, leannot to our own understanding.
Pray the blood over us, takethe blood over us, daily, walk
with us.
We pray, not only we.
I feel like the body of Christ.
Right now we're in a season ofjust oh Lord, give me favor,
(19:31):
give me prosperity, give meprosperity, give me this, this,
this, but also, with all thoseblessings, what they're saying
more money, more problems, newlevels, new devils.
You also have to be praying andpleading the blood not over
just you, over your children,over your home, anointing your
home, protecting your home,calling his angels down, using
(19:54):
his word once again against him,saying Lord, you said that you
will be our strong tower, so Ineed you to be our strong tower.
That's what we have to remainto do, because in this world
right now, it is crazy.
Y'all, y'all, just not even whenyou're just thinking about the
political things.
You're not just thinking aboutpolitical things.
(20:15):
You're thinking about justprices, inflation, just the wars
, just all these things that'sgoing on.
Natural disasters, you hearabout trafficking, you hear
about drugs, one-time use, youjust being around and sniffing,
and then even just like some ofthe malls are crazy, like, even,
(20:39):
just like attacking ourchildren, just all these
different things are happening.
When that rocket going up, I'lltry to go to malls or something
.
I ain't try to be here at Earth.
I didn't see that Because theymessed up more.
If they messed up Earth, theycan mess up Mars.
So let that trumpet just go.
But then, too, it's like you'reso distracted with life, like
(21:02):
it's sometimes, that you justhave to remind yourself to be
there with God too.
Right, like, oh, yeah, god, I'mso sorry I've been so swamped,
but you need to just be therewith him.
And, like I said, we,unfortunately, how they teach
you to be a Christian is likeevery time you have to throw
yourself down on your knees andsay, oh, dear Lord, heavenly
(21:22):
Father, no, sometimes you haveto say, lord, I need you right
now, lord, I need you.
Lord, give me strength, lord,lord, give me peace.
Lord, give me strength, lord,lord, give me peace, jesus wept.
If I'm there, jesus wept, andI'm waking right now and I'm
like teacher, lord, help meJesus, help me, lord, I need a
nap.
Jesus, help me, lord, let meget up under your wings, like
you say, lord.
(21:44):
So just things of that natureand the scripture that we have
to back that over, uh, to backthat up, is psalms 91, 1 and 2
whoever dwells in the shelter ofthe most high will rest in the
shadow of the almighty, I willsay of the lord.
He is my refuge, he is myfortress, my god, who I trust.
(22:04):
Yes, so you just have toremember those simple things.
And if you can't remember, itin is Bible apps, write them
down, put them around yourmirror in the morning, have you
write those affirmations?
You know how you do thoseaffirmations.
Like I'm the first familymillionaire that should be right
next to it.
I have shelter under the mosthigh Mm-hmm.
(22:25):
Ok, he is my fortress Because,guess what, you're going to be
the first millionaire but youalso will have a lot of deals
that come with that.
So also, it's not just alwaysbe the outsiders trying to steal
your money or the scammersthat's trying to steal your
money.
It's going to be family members.
They don't think that youdeserve it, that bar.
They don't think that they haveto give it back.
(22:46):
Right, because she got it, hegot it.
Right, because she got it, hegot it.
They're okay.
But now you're going to have tocome to terms with that and be
okay with that Right, and stillsee that family member and still
show them the grace of God andlove Period.
Our next point of topic isovercoming fear and anxiety.
Question is how can believersovercome fear and anxiety
(23:10):
through the promises of psalm 91in the midst of spiritual
warfare and honestly, that goesby just knowing, like, if I have
this fear, what can replacethis fear?
And it's faith, yes, it's faithin knowing that god has us and
(23:31):
like he wants us to be able tokeep the fruit to the spirit or
be joyous in hard times, likefinding that little glimpse of
hope, that little glimpse oflight through him.
And I know it sounds so simple,but it's like you can't say
that when people are grieving,like you can't say that when
people are grieving, like youcan't say that when you know it
(23:54):
just seems like the world aroundyou is just collapsing.
I get it Like we're human right, but at the same time we know
that there is a good God andhe's always going to use
whatever is getting us down,whichever is making us sad or
having despair.
He's going to use it for hisgood.
(24:15):
He's going to be able tostrengthen you in an area that
maybe you didn't know, that youneed the strength for, and we
have to overcome fear andanxiety by knowing whose we are.
Yeah, it's fun.
I had a doctor's appointment awhile ago and I don't know.
I've shared this with youbefore.
(24:37):
Right, I've on around my.
Yeah, so check some otherepisodes.
I'm not sure if people know,but when I was eight months
pregnant with my youngest son, Ihad brain aneurysm and it
occurred on the outside of mybrain that actually deals with
my speech, and thank God that Istill have my speech.
(24:59):
Hey, y'all and um, I still haveto like get tested and things
of that nature, right.
And it was this beautifulelderly woman.
We were there for the same testand we're just in a waiting
room.
We're like in our scrubs andeverything, just waiting on them
to come and get us, and sowe're just talking.
They're taking forever, sowe're just talking, right, and
(25:20):
at that time my babies are inthe car with my mom, so I'm just
like waiting on my husband's atwork.
So I'm like, okay, well, we'rejust talking about it, amy, and
everything.
And so she.
So she was like so you're soyoung, why are you here?
And I'm like, oh, and I'm justtelling her like oh, yeah, I had
a brain freeze and it causedseizures.
(25:42):
I was like what?
And just like I'm telling herlike all my little, like mom
conditions, right.
And she's like what?
Oh no, and you can just tell,like her thinking I'm just going
to say like something small, Iguess.
And she was like like her faceliterally like turned and she
(26:04):
felt so sad for me Girl, don'tbe sad.
I'm like I'm good, I'm here,I'm talking to you, I'm working.
I'm like I'm good, I'm here,I'm talking to you, I'm working,
I'm like I'm here.
And I was like girl there's alot of people that went through
way less and not here, right,and I can speak, I can talk, I
can thrive, I can do a lot ofthings that they didn't know and
(26:26):
they told my husband and myparents like I don't know, you
know, we'll just see whathappened.
They, they couldn't really tellit.
So I'm like no, don't feel thatway.
And she was just like, how canyou be so positive?
You're so young?
And I was like, because thisway, it's like, but that's the
worst thing, and I'm justgrateful for what I have and
(26:46):
what I've been through, becausethis is going to be a testimony
to somebody right, that they canmake it.
And god is still using me, right, because I don't think yet
exactly, and so, but it's thefaith, um, and I didn't start
with that thing I had to have tobuild.
I had to build that faiththrough my relationship with the
lord right, and so I had toovercome that fear, because I
(27:07):
did really struggle with anxietyand fear because it's like I
don't want my kids to grow upwith me and things of that
nature, just natural things thatyou think of, right.
But however, god has kept meand he wakes me up daily.
So I just stay in thankfulness,thanksgiving of my heart and my
(27:28):
spirit, and also I built thatfaith with him where I just I
know back to protection, he'sgoing to protect me, right?
He wouldn't take me this farjust to drop me and say, well,
that was her life.
No, he promises that we willhave a long life.
He promises that in his word.
He promised that he would givethe desires of our heart and he
(27:49):
knows my desires is to see mygreat-grandchild Right, and not
in the sky, but here, right inthe physical.
So he's gonna give me that and,like I said, it wasn't easy,
even when I'm in the storm orgoing through the storm or in
the thick of it.
All right, it wasn't easy, butI did it because I had to.
What's?
What's the alternative?
Roll over and die?
No, give it to the devil forwhat.
I need it.
(28:09):
I had to.
What's the alternative?
Roll over and die, right, giveit to the devil for what?
For what Right?
So we just have to be mindfulof that.
Oh, and also Psalms 91.
Play that at night.
They have so many videos onYouTube.
Play it at night.
You see, she leaves her Bibleopen.
I leave my Bible to size 91.
We need to do that and that'sthe scripture that we tie with
(28:33):
this.
Psalm 91, five through six, youwill not fear the terror of the
night, nor the arrow that fliesby day, nor the pestilence that
stops in the darkness, nor theplague that destroys at midday".
And that and like this, issomething that I go to pretty
much on a daily, because youknow, you see all the stuff
(28:54):
that's happening in the MiddleEast, like it's just, it's a lot
, it is a lot to date.
In Like, sometimes I get onsocial media, I see everything
that's going on and like, yeah,I know that the way that the
world is set up, we are in theend days, we're in the in the
(29:14):
last evil days, rumors of wars,we see wars, we see all this
stuff happening and it's enoughto scare you and just want you
to just have that fear or thatworry that is gonna touch your
home, yeah, that is gonna.
It's gonna touch your family,that's gonna touch your friends
and around your area.
(29:34):
But ultimately, every time whenthat fear or that worry tries
to overcome me, I say I recitethis prayer because I believe
that and I know that he willprotect and I know that he will
protect my family and anybodywho I'm in association with.
Like it, don't go just to meand my circle.
I'm like anybody that I justmet on the street right.
(29:55):
Protect them just because theycame, because they came across
me.
I know that you love me thatmuch, just to protect somebody
that I just said hello to on thestreet Right.
And so we got to have that typeof faith and that type of
belief in knowing that he willkeep us and he will protect us.
But, like the three Hebrew boyssaid, but even if he don't, I'm
(30:18):
still going to serve him.
Right, I will still serve himand I will never bow to another
god.
Right, because I know who mygod is.
Yes, okay, so, sheesh, yeah, Iknow.
Right, that was, that was, thatwas good.
Um.
It says, uh, a quick about howcan believers actively engage in
(30:42):
spiritual warfare, using god'sword as a weapon to combat, uh,
to combat spiritual strongholdsand deceptions?
Uh, and then our solution isjust renewing your mind of
scripture, praying and aligningwith god's will and standing
firm against, uh spiritualattacks.
You have to have a boldness, alevel of boldness against the
(31:05):
enemy, because they will boldlycome against you.
You know how you had all thatboldness when they tried you at
the club.
Try that boldness when thedevil is attacking your heart,
when the devil is attacking yourfamily, when the devil is
attacking your friends, whenit's attacking your marriage,
your children.
Have a boldness, your householdhave that same boldness and you
(31:26):
stand up and be courageous likeI don't know if god's gonna sex
no, he will, but you have tocall on him and his warning
right.
Have that bold boldness evenwith uh warlocks, uh witches and
all that, because we know thatthose things right now are very
prevalent, like people arerunning to different sidekicks,
different warlocks andeverything like that.
(31:48):
It's a miracle, it's astrologyand all that stuff and all that.
But we have to be bold whenwe're coming to God against
these things, because sometimesit is people that you know that
are attacking you for jealousy,envy and things of that nature
Right, but it's, you know, thatare attacking you for jealousy,
envy and things of that nature,right, but it's also people that
are attacking you that you haveno idea who they are, why
(32:11):
they're doing it, what are theygetting out of this?
And we have to be just as both.
And, speaking of that, we alsoChristians do not be afraid to
prayer, to pray.
109.
109.
Psalms 109.
(32:32):
Girl, yeah, hold up, becauselet me say this before you read
it, because I know you know howthey'll be like oh, the Lord
will the what's the scripture?
I can't remember the exactscripture, but it said the Lord
will make your enemies yourfootstool.
I remember I'll be praying andthat will come to mind.
I'm like boy, well, you ain'tgot to make my footstool.
(32:52):
Like, just give them grace, god.
Yeah, give them mercy, god,change their heart.
And I will literally pray forpeople who pray on my downfall,
who pray evil things amongst me,onto me or my family, or on my
children.
I don't pray mercy, no more,because they don't have no mercy
(33:14):
and no compassion for you andif not them, it's hysteria.
So we gotta pray against them,like we pray against the enemy,
because that is the enemy.
So when it comes down to it,like Psalms 1 or not, come on,
you got it.
I'm not going to pray the wholething, but I know this was the
part.
The first time I ever prayed itI was like I'm not saying that,
(33:39):
that's just, that's a lot.
That is a lot, that is a lot.
So it says may his children befatherless, his wife be a widow.
Next chapter Hold on.
It says next oh, thank you.
So it says next chapter let hischildren continuously be a
(34:03):
vagabond and beg.
Let them seek their bread alsofrom death to live place like
come on, oh my jesus, let hiscreditor seize all he has.
Let strangers thunder his labor, let their hell that fuck.
Let there be none to extendmercy to him, nor let any favor
(34:28):
be to him and his fatherlesschildren".
Like God ain't playing, hedon't play about you.
God is not praying about hischildren.
So we got to be bold enough topray.
These people, these witches,these war, these warlocks,
whatever new age, whatever youwant to call them.
They are bold enough to prayagainst us dead.
(34:52):
Uh, they want us to be broke.
They want us to, uh, be incovenant with spirit spouses
they want us to be.
They do all of this stuff toattack us and we sitting up here
saying, lord, let's.
Yes, there are some enemies thatwe are supposed to be.
That wasn't any of us.
But then there are some that wegot.
It's just some that we have towar in the spirit again, exactly
(35:15):
, and that we have to call God,and his just is not our just.
That's why, when people say, oh, only God can judge me, you
don't want God to judge you,because I know I have prayed for
my enemies and I have seen themand I'm like God, they only did
this to me.
Why would you do that to them?
Right, and I'm really prayinglike, ooh Lord, please, bless
(35:36):
them, please, please, please,just have mercy on them, please.
I'm sorry, lord, have somemercy.
Can I do a take back?
Right, can I do a take back?
So those are the things.
But we also he gave us this wordto know how to warn the spirits
, but we have to use the wordagainst our enemies.
That's what it's for.
It's simple, that's what it'sfor.
(35:58):
And, like I said, when I firstread that scripture, I mean that
chapter and you was like ew, Iwas like this is a lot.
I'm not saying that.
But the more and more thatspiritual attack, I had to get
that boldness in me because itwas attacking everything around
me and I cannot suffer that.
I will not suffer that foranyone.
(36:19):
And also, you have to realizethese are coming from people
that heart has been hurt, right,that they have no, they're
wicked.
They're wicked and it's some ofthem that will be changed, but
it is some of them that willnever change, right, you know?
That's why the Bible also tellsus to not give prayers to the
swine.
Don't pass your prayers to theswine, because it is some people
(36:43):
that you will never reach andit's unfortunate and it hurts
your heart, but it's just whatit is.
So we'll just pray for them,bless them, but if they keep
coming, hey, he's going to getthis word, you're going to get
this word.
He told us what to do, so wegot to do it, right, right, and
another scripture to go withthat is 2 Corinthians 10, 4-5.
(37:05):
The weapons we fight with arenot the weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they havedivine powers to demolish
strongholds.
We demolish arguments and everypretense that sets itself up
against the knowledge of God,and we take captive every
thought to make it obedient toChrist.
And that's as simple as that.
Sometimes I even use thatprayer when my thoughts are
(37:29):
intrusive, or if the enemy hasput an intrusive thought, I say
that same as I demolish everyargument, every pretense that
sets itself against theknowledge of God.
And we have to do that, like wehave to stay ten toes down, we
have to, we have to, we have to.
We have no choice.
And the thing about this is thatthat's a great way to, but I
(37:51):
know everybody can't rememberscripture, so I know sometimes
I'll just say a quick prayerlike Lord, if any of these
thoughts are not yours, removethem now.
Right, any feelings that I'mhaving is not from you.
Remove them now and then.
Or and I it's been many timeslike I had a spirit of heaviness
.
Or they have so many prayers,um, a good, uh war, uh, warfare
(38:17):
prayer.
Oh, sydney tram, sydney tram,y'all.
She has like a 30 minute SydneyTramp.
I put those on also, so like,but it's many people like yes,
it's a lot of warfare prayers.
Listen to them first.
Don't just put them on and belike, yeah, I agree to
everything.
No, actually listen to whatyou're listening to, because the
(38:37):
enemy is conning, he's veryconning.
He's not just gonna be like, oh, let me put on this eight hours
and then they'll put, put it,they'll slip something in there,
cause they know you're notlistening to the whole eight
hours, right, but put on likewith people that you trust, put
it on.
Pray, that's and that's.
If you don't know what to pray,lord, give me what to say.
Read your Bible, he will.
He will help your vocabulary,right, he will give.
(38:59):
Sometimes I pray and I don'teven know what to pray, just
like sometimes I have fasted andI don't know what I'm fasting,
lord, but guess what?
He will reveal it to me why I'mfasting, because I'm making
that sacrifice for him.
So he knows my heart wants that.
So we just have to constantlyseek his faith.
Y'all Seek his faith.
David was not perfect, but heconstantly.
(39:22):
He wanted to please God, a manat the God's own heart, right,
that's constantly just trying.
Our best isn't gonna always beour best to us, right, but it is
perfect to him because ourheart postures are correct,
right.
So we just have to rememberthat.
Like, don't just constantlyseek your mind and your heart
portion to be correct.
And I ask him to renew myspirit, my mind, every day.
Holy Spirit, you are welcome.
(39:43):
And in closing, we have toremember that at the end of the
day, it's already written thatChrist has victory.
The battle is already won.
Yes, the battle is already won.
Yes, and that's why you do seeso much happening in the world
is because the devil is justtrying to do any last little
(40:03):
things that he can do before heis completely defeated.
He already know that he'sdefeated and now he's actually
coming to his demise.
So he's trying to do Throw in atemper tantrum, like, take
everybody and take as much as hecan with him.
He's trying to take as much ashe can because you have to
realize that he was not createdfor us.
(40:24):
He was created for him and thedemons that follow, the angels
that follow him, the fallenangels that follow him, but now
attacking us because God lovesus so much and we are his
creation that he literally madein his own image.
So he wants to take us.
(40:45):
He wants to take as many as hecan of his children to hell with
him.
It was not created for us, buthe will make you think he's the
king of blots, that he's goingto take you with him, that you
will have all these riches andgreat things.
But it's not true.
He will never share his kingdomBecause he the king of lies,
(41:08):
he's a source of all evil, allwickedness.
So we just have to stay mindfulof that and God's children that
love and serve and adore you,that he's constantly attacking
you and it's not fair.
It's not always like, yeah, I'ma super christian.
No, that's just how.
(41:29):
That's why you have to keep theword in your heart, so those
days that you aren't feelinglike a super christian, you can
just pour his word, and you can.
You can just ask for strength.
You can ask for that in abidingprayer.
So these are just the thingsthat we just want to say.
