I was under a spiritual attack!
Sunday during church I bent over in pain due to a twisting feeling in my stomach, then I stretched out on the pew feeling completely exhausted. When that didn't help I took a drink of water and knelt on my knees. I silently asked God, what is wrong, what is happening? But the twisting turned into burning heat and I had to leave the sanctuary. . .
We must understand that we are in the end times and there are demonic spirits that will grow stronger and stronger because they are out to destroy and deceive God’s people. This spirit had my stomach turning, it had me physically weak, it had me unfocused and unmotivated, it also tried to get me to think that I was unworthy of my calling.
This spirit led me right into a trap trying to get me to debate this guy about the old covenant law. I first thought he was a friend, but later realized he was sent to sow a seed of doubt in my spirit.
So let me tell you what Belial does and who he is:
“Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known.”
-Deuteronomy 13:13
Belial is a seducing spirit that tries to lead people away from the truth of God. . .
If a person is acting on the behalf of Belial he is then considered a son of Belial. Belial then. . .
“Attempts to draw people away from worshipping the true God. Under Belial are spirits that will seduce people and draw them away from the Lord. As a result, the demon spirits operating under the rulership of Belial inflict the people who have been drawn away from the protection of God with bondages and curses that often lead to destruction.”
-John Eckhardt (Prayers that Rout Demons & Break Curses)
Now, in order to completely understand how the spirits of darkness work calls for an entirely different study.
BUT KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THIS:
Satan has a kingdom that operates like a monarchy. He is the King and he gives out orders and directions. He sets different ruling powers to do certain task. Belial is a devil but not the devil. Belial is the ruler of worthlessness. He sends out lower ranking demons against you to make you feel worthless, which turns you on a road away from your purpose.
I don’t know what level of demon I was dealing with but it was strong!
This particular spirit dwells in the so called religion of the Hebrew Israelites. I can not say that all Hebrew Israelites are of the devil but I do know that the spirit that I dealt with this week was. It was also very knowledgeable about the word. Belial uses that to manipulate the weak mind into thinking that they are wrong to serve Jesus Christ. Let me tell you this, anyone or anything that tries to tell you that it is wrong to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ is a liar from the pits of hell. This is why you must know the word of God.
The devil knows the word, but he does not have interpretation of the word by the holy spirit. This is why he tries to tempt us with debate in order to gain secrets from the holy spirit. Debate (strife) is a fruit of death. Death comes from ignorance which is darkness. “And the life was the light of men and darkness comprehended it not . . .”
This is what happened:
I was on Google +, I’m new to it. I thought that everyone in this particular group was a Christian and followed Jesus Christ. Boy was I wrong. I made a comment on D.R Yisrael comment about waking up to understanding your nationality as a Hebrew people.
The thing was that his spirit was angry. He pretty much tried to debate with anyone that did not accept what he was putting out. The main debate was about women not being permitted to teach in the church according to II Timothy 2:11. He said that anyone who does not follow the law of the old testament, all 600+, then they were going to hell. He kept trying to put words in my mouth and said that I was mad at God because of what the scripture was saying. He kept saying that I was offended by the word of God, but that wasn't true. I asked God why was this man’s words bothering me so much?
The answer: God allowed this spirit to test me to see if I was going to ask for help. I asked God for help. I couldn’t do this on my own. You see, I was fighting a spiritual battle and not meant to debate with this Yisrael character. God also told me that I can go back and forth with him all I want, but except the spirit enter into this man, he will not understand the truth. Hence, the response to this spirit would be mostly for the Christians who are reading the response. I pray that the words of the spirit are received by true believers and that they are more aware of how spiritual warfare works. Hence, this is my original full response to D.R Yisrael:
“After this post I will no longer respond to you directly, But you assume you know who I am and how I feel. My offense is not to the word of God for the word of God is the foundation of truth and it is what I believe.
CHRISTIANS listen, “For Christ is the end of the law of righteousness to everyone that believe.” Romans 10:4 Why is this? “For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.” Romans 7:5.
(I am now addressing the gentleman posting his beliefs)
Sir, I do not judge but you judge me. Instead I make observations and report the truth. I do not have strife, variance, or seditions but you do. I can feel the anger in your responses and I notice that you feel you are superior to those that you say you are trying to reach (Heresies). SMH, these are fruits of death, not fruits of the spirit. Except your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the Pharisees, you shall in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven. The truth is not in you. Who has taught you these things because surely you are not using your critical thinking skills.
This is what I tell my students, to not believe everything that the world teaches you but to “study and show yourself approved unto God, a workman needeth not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth.” Sir, you are not rightly dividing the word of truth. “But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.” Why is this? Because when Jesus died on the cross for our sins, he was the only righteous man that could go to Satan and take back the authority that was stolen from Adam. God did that so that other nations can be grafted into promise, not only the Israelites. If you think that only 144,000 will go to heaven you are as mistaken as the Jehovah witnesses (another seducing spirit). I am not under a delusion, but you are. You are not studying, you are just regurgitating what you were told, taught, and brainwashed to believe. And yet you criticize me and my teaching, not knowing God sits me before women and the youth. This is my purpose and my calling.
I know who I am. II Timothy 2:11 also (II Corinthians 14:34) are referring to women not having a pastoral role in the church and not having authority over the man. . . (Again this calls for a whole other study!)
You are not a teacher, because if you were you would understand each person has a developmental process. You misunderstand the law and the use of the law. You are supposed to be happy when you follow the law, not in bondage. “ . . .happy is he that follow the law.” You walk in darkness but you don’t know that you do. Your father is the father of lies and my father is not in you.
(Now I am giving reverence to my father in heaven)
If you were part of my family then your message would produce fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness. The greatest teacher in the world had a patient spirit and he knew how to draw righteous people to him. How are you doing on that? Oh wretched man, who will deliver you from your body of death? No one but the Holy Spirit. And it is the Holy Spirit that guides my study and my teaching, not the church. Religion will never save your soul from death, Religion is nothing but a system of rules and practices (laws) that keep your mind in bondage, much like how your mind is in bondage. I do not put my God in a box with a label. For Christ has made me free and not entangled in the yoke of bondage, and if you feel you are justified by the law, then you have fallen from grace. So, Good luck with that.
I thank you for the conversation and tell you once again that I am a servant. “ . . .Ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself . . .” When you walk in the spirit you see with different eyes and hear with different ears and no longer suffer in the flesh to the lust of men but to the will of God:
“But if ye be led by the spirit, ye are not under the law.” Romans 5:18
(Now I am rebuking the enemy, the demonic spirit)
Truly the spirit has given me this word and according to the truth, when I teach under the spirit, God is my covering, and I (my feelings, emotions, thoughts, opinions) am subject to him as the authority, and I (my feelings, emotions, thoughts, and opinions) are silent because he has the ultimate authority. In this is a mystery that you are confused about II Timothy 2:11. But of course I cast my pearls because you have not the love of Christ in you to hear the spirit of truth.
Pauline doctrine also says
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16.
. . . Oh devil, how dare you say that I am offended by the word of my God, I pray to my father in secret and my father who sees me in secret will reward me openly. You will steal no more secrets from my family."
And friends, I didn’t respond to this spirit in the natural, My study was strong enough in the spiritual that this spirit was then lifted off of me. To which I only responded to Bilial on Google + with this following comment:
"Devil, the law is not a requirement for one's salvation. 'For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.' " Romans 10:4
End, point blank, no argument needed. Glory be to God.
(As a teacher, I encourage you to look up the scriptures and study in context, don’t just take my word for it)
You have to fight back with scripture, the word of God. I am nothing and no one without Christ, but I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)
This study and the scriptures mostly came from Romans. Read the whole book of Romans. Also: St. John 1:4-5 (darkness cannot understand light)
Romans 1:16
Romans Chpt 2: judging, the law, and the jew
Romans Chpt 7:5-6
Romans Chpt 8:2 read all of chapter 8-good stuff!
Romans 9:6
Romans 10:4. 10:10
Romans: 13:1 the authority of highest power of God
Romans Chapter 16 Paul mentions and honors the women serving in the church
Romans chpt 16:17-19 Avoid these evil doers who seek to deceive the hearts of the babes in Christ. Corinthians 2:12-16 What does it mean to be spiritually minded?
Galatians 5:17-23 If you are led by the spirit you are not under the law.
Matthew 5:20 righteousness of the Pharisees/ also read what they do in front of men to be heard for their much speaking . . .Matt. 6:5-8
My words are sent forth not as a debate but as a final thought on a matter that the enemy has tempted me with. There are certain emotions and feelings that overwhelm me when my spirit is troubled. I understand that these types of feelings are not of God but of the enemy. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of darkness of this world . . .” (Ephesians 6:12)
And so I really had to pray and spend time with God, in order to hear his voice and response to this spirit. I thank God for delivering me from this trap and from traps like this in the past.
At first I didn’t know the name of this spirit. Remember, I am just a child of God who answered the calling to create this page and to continue in studying and teaching the of the word of God. This is my calling, and this particular spirit was trying to challenge my gift of teaching that the Lord has given me. Not understanding this at the time, I now understand, through the guidance of the spirit, that I am under the covering of the authority of the Holy Spirit, which is God and also the highest authority.
Romans 13:1
“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.”
I want to refer these books. They not only helped me in how to pray, but God used them to show me answers for what was going on.
