Has the Holy Spirit impressed upon you that you are under spiritual attack? Signs of spiritual attack are being hounded by negative thoughts about yourself, emotional instability, you feel off, disconnected from your family, you are suddenly or often sick, have some kind of physical ailments even though you take good care of yourself, you want to isolate yourself from family and Christian friends, people in general especially church and members of your church. After a prolonged spiritual attack you may revert back to your old ways and behaviors. How much do you know about using the armor of God spiritually, praying to God for release from the attack, praying against unclean and demonic spirits, and praying for God's protection? There are steps you can take to overcome spiritual attacks.
First, prepare your mind and heart. Mentally thank God for everything you can think of to thank him for both big and small. Second, remind yourself that God loves you with a perfect and unconditional love and forgives you of all your sins. Third, ask God to help you forgive yourself for anything you're feeling guilt or shame over. God has given us the ability and the right to stand before him without any sense of sin, guilt or condemnation. Fourth, listen to or sing praise and worship music praising God in your mind and heart. Fifth, read the Bible. Do any or all of these things so you can pray and trust God to have your best interest at heart. Remember, if a child asks his father for a fish will his father give him a stone. God has great things in store for us. All we have to do is ask. Read the scripture and pray the prayer below.
In the Holy Bible we read in Matthew 7:9-11 NIV [9] “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? [10] Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? [11] If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
And in the Holy Bible we read in 1 Peter 5:6-10 [6] Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. [7] Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. [8] Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. [9] Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. [10] And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
After you have prepared your mind and heart and strengthened your faith, say this prayer: Father, thank you for your unconditional and perfect love for me. Thank you that by faith I am saved and not by my own works. Father, please remove from me all unclean and demonic spirits. Please do not allow unclean and demonic spirits to oppress me or influence me in any way. Thank you Father in Jesus name.
In the name of Jesus I cast off from me and away from me all unclean and demonic spirits. I command you to leave me, to leave this place and to not return.
Father, thank you for protecting me. I ask you, please fill this place with your presence. Thank you for placing a hedge of protection around me. Help me Father to submit to you in every way. I relinquish my will to you and pray that your desires become my heart's desires. I pray that your will be done in me and through me and that I serve you and your kingdom well. I ask you Father to move aside anything that prevents me from serving you and you working through me and loving others through me.
In Jesus name, AMEN
