The Summoning of a Christian's Spirit in Dreams

Ephesians 6:10-12 states, “10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” For Christians to be strong and effective against satanic(witchcraft) attacks, they must be strong in the lord and in the power of his might, but what does this mean? It means you must put on the whole armor of God. This armor has a heavenly origin, which Christians receive by choosing to live a lifestyle of discipline, holiness, and obedience to God's word. If Christians are lacking in any of these areas, their armor will be weak, or their body armor will be void of key components to fend off spiritual attacks. A Christian can’t be strong in the lord if one's armor is compromised or missing key pieces. Unfortunately, many Christians are living a vulnerable life, walking around with little to no armor on at all. Such Christians wonder why it's so easy for Satan’s darts to penetrate their lives. These same Christians go to sleep unarmed, wide open for Satanic manipulation. Ephesians 6:16 states, “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Satan's evil children will send darts(Witchcraft) attacks to Christians whose armor contains weak spots. These weak spots in one's spiritual armor represent weak areas in a Christian's life. These are parts of the soul that need reproof, that a Christian has failed to yield to God, or God is still in the process of healing from sin. Remember from my explanation earlier in this article, a Christian's spirit is saved, the soul is being saved, and the flesh must die daily. This is due to flesh being shaped in sin at birth and the soul being subject to manipulation of the flesh. A Christian's human spirit has been re-established in the Holy Ghost, according to Romans 8:16. This is why Paul stated in Galatians 5:16, to walk in the Spirit of God, so the flesh can't fulfill its corrupt desires in the soul. Your soul is like a child. Your human spirit and body are like separated parents fighting over custody of their child(the soul). The human spirit and flesh are no longer in union. In this scenario, the spirit of God serves as a new legal guardian, the human spirit represents the good(redeemed/renewed) parent, and the flesh represents the bad(unsaved) parent. The Holy Spirit is now in union with the human spirit and assumes all responsibility for the human soul. The flesh has lost legal guardianship of the soul when the union was severed with the human spirit(salvation). However, spiritual laws still apply, and the freewill of the soul is not negated. Just like in an earthly court of law, custody of the child will be determined by which parent has more legal rights. Similar rules apply when it comes to God's spiritual law. To determine which parent gets custody of your soul is all dependent on whom you choose to yield to. Will you yield to your spirit that has been reshaped in the righteousness of God? Or will you yield to your flesh, which is shaped in iniquity? Remember, a Christian's human spirit is led by the Holy Ghost, and the human soul should follow.  Remember, your soul condition determines who will maintain legal guardianship over it. God's law does not dictate the human will but allows the soul to make its own decision to whom will possess and maintain legality over it. This means guardianship can change depending on whom the soul chooses to yield to. This determination is based on daily decisions made by the soul. Remember your soul embodies your mind, will, and emotions. Most Christians are living under a strong delusion of thinking that accepting initial salvation is the only thing needed. Most Christians subconsciously feel like other Christian obligations, such as prayer, fasting, bible reading, and holy living, are only optional. This is deception, as God deems these obligations mandatory for all Christians. Praying, bible study, and holy living protect one's witness in the courts of heaven. It's like building up good evidence in a court of law, which the Christians can use against Satan's accusations. Revelation 12:11 states, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” This verse is saying that Christians can overcome Satan's accusations in heavenly courts, by Jesus' blood, which is the initial acceptance of salvation, but also by the word of their testimony. What is “the word of testimony”? It is a book of record containing every second, minute, hour, day, and year, in which Christians are found faithful to prayer, fasting, bible study, and holy living. Malachi 3:16 refers to this book as the “book of remembrance.” Daniel 4:13, 17 confirms that angels are called “watchers”. These watching angels are witnesses to all of humanity's deeds, as confirmed in 1 Timothy 5:21. Paul calls angels as witnesses to Timothy’s behavior and choices, implying their active observation in matters of spiritual accountability.  Job 1:8–11, confirms that Satan accuses humanity of sin in the courts of heaven. This is still being done today, as Satan, who has access to the courts of Heaven, can place accusations against humanity. Just like Satan did to Job, Satan will bring accusations against God's people to heaven's courts for a Christian's spiritual armor to be revoked. Reader, please understand, the armor mentioned in Ephesians 6:10–18, is actual spiritual armor given to Christians by the holy angels whenever they have met the requirements to receive it. If one could see in the spiritual realm, they would be a witness to holy Christians containing the actual divine armor of God for spiritual protection. When Satan is successful in heaven's courts with accusations, the holy angels must come and remove that Christian's armor. Divine armor from God are spiritual rewards given to obedient Christians. Each section of armor represents different divisions of a Christian's lifestyle; whatever division a sin falls under, it will determine the strength of that armor piece. This is how Christians are stripped of protective armor in the spirit world. A Christian's armor in the spiritual world is a direct reflection of how they live their life in the woke world. Unfortunately, a lot of Christians are walking around with either damaged armor or none, due to it being confiscated altogether. Earthly Christian title or rank doesn’t matter when it comes to spiritual armor. A Christian's spiritual armor and rank(spiritual authority) are determined by their obedience, not just how long they’ve been a Christian. A child convert, or new convert, could have a higher rank and a stronger, more glorious set of armor in the spirit realm than a disobedient senior pastor or spiritual leader. If God opened your eyes to see in the spirit realm, you would see humble, obedient Christians in resilient shining armor and proud disobedient Christians in spiritual rags. Now you understand how Christians can be affected by curses and demonic attacks. For Christians to reap the benefits of God's protection, it comes with the stipulation of obedience. The more obedient the Christian, the stronger the protection. The more disobedient, the weaker God's protection becomes in a Christian's life. The Christian will then be demoted from victor to victim in the spirit realm. While on the topic of spiritual authority, we know power and authority were given to God's people over all of Satan’s kingdom, according to Luke 10:19. What many Christians don’t understand is that power and authority can be lost through disobedience and unholy living. According to Isaiah 59:1–2, sin causes separation from God and can hinder His power and presence in your life. According to Judges 16:20, Disobedience led to the loss of God’s power in Samson’s life. He presumed on past power, unaware it had left due to sin. Whenever God's presence inhabits, his power can be found. Through obedience, Christians maintain the presence of God in their lives. By default, they are endowed with his power as a result, as confirmed in Acts 2:1–4 and Acts 1:8. Christian's who lack obedience possess a form of Godliness, but will be void of his power, according to 2 Timothy 3:5. If you are overwhelmed by demons in your life, it’s a sign of the absence of God's presence and power, as confirmed in Psalm 5:4–5, Habakkuk 1:13, 2 Corinthians 6:14–16, Exodus 33:3 and 1 Samuel 16:14. I was living lukewarm at a time in my life. I prayed, but not consistently. My way of living wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t up to the true standard of Godly holiness. The mistake I made was assuming my life was good, just because I didn’t participate in the majority of sins; others had committed. In 2 Corinthians 10:12, Paul warns against comparing ourselves to others instead of measuring by God’s standards. I had a dream where a demon invaded my room and proceeded to attack me. The dream started with me standing face to face with a demon in the middle of my room. However, in my woke life, I have a long table in it, but in the dream, the table was absent. The demonic creature had the appearance of a goblin from cartoons and horror movies. He had pointed ears and resembled something of a hybrid bat with darkskin as well. The demon had on an old-timey medieval-looking cloak, with a hood attached. The presence of this creature was intimidating, as it was growling at me, reaching out with sharp claws. The demon wanted to touch me so bad, but something was holding it back. It proceeded to attack me again, but I used the name Jesus, so it backed up against the wall. I got cocky at the sight of this. The demon had a sophisticated look of annoyance on its face. Reader, demons hate when we use the name of Jesus Christ. I noticed the creature's persistence, as it continued its evil advancements. I continued to use the name of Jesus Christ, but I noticed it became less effective each time I used it. I began to get nervous, as the demon was gaining traction on me. Getting closer and closer, which forced me to back up. Don’t ask me why I did this, but I started playing around with the demon in a cocky manner. I started using the name Jesus Christ in Spanish. I did this because I'm learning Spanish in woke life. I even had a witch try to be funny in my dreams, who spoke curses to me in Spanish. I couldn’t understand what he was saying, but I nodded and smiled. This was very ignorant of me. Back to the demon dream, I used the name Jesus in Spanish for humor. The demon looked at me with a face full of sarcasm. He then continued his advancements. As the demon got close enough to touch me, I woke up from the dream. God revealed that my inconsistent Christian living resulted in the demotion of my spiritual authority and power. This explains why the demon was successfully resisting my usage of the name Jesus Christ in dreams. Reader, please remember the name Jesus Christ, prayer, and bible verses are useless in the hands of powerless, sinful living Christians. Acts 19:13-16 states, “13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.” Unbelieving Jewish exorcists tried to cast out demons using Jesus’ name without a true relationship with Him. The demon recognized Jesus and Paul, but not them—and attacked them violently. This highlights the danger of trying to operate in spiritual authority without genuine faith, obedience, and holiness. I realized I made the same mistake as the vagabond Jews. I tried to engage in spiritual warfare without a genuine relationship with God. This caused me to be defeated by demons a plethora of times. I was functioning in church as a vagabond Christian, which yielded me vagabond results. The demon didn’t recognize me as a person with Godly authority in the spirit realm. A lot of proud, boasting Christian’s brag about how much authority they have over Satan’s kingdom, but in the spiritual realm, demons view them as low on the food chain. These are your Laodicean pastors, first ladies, ministers, deacons, ushers, choir members, church seat fillers, and other everyday Christians. These types of Christians pray loud, fancy-sounding prayers in public to be seen, but in the spiritual realm, these weak prayers won't even kindle a bit of smoke. Meanwhile, a humble Christian, with a speech impediment and low education, will pray simple prayers that will yield enough holy fire to scatter a legion of demons. When one chooses to live a vagabond Christian lifestyle, they will yield vagabond results. These vagabond Christians are the same ones who come down to the altar crying about how the devil is overwhelming their life. These are the same type of Christians whom are ignorant of spiritual law and biblical principles. These are the same type of Christians whom get manipulated by witchcraft in their dreams. Romans 6:13-16 states, “13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” So, how does everything I discussed in this section and Romans 6:13-16 tie into Christians' spirits being summoned for witchcraft manipulation in dreams?  These particular passages of scripture are referring to allowing different parts of the body to be used as instruments for sin. When we use our bodily members to carry out sinful desires, we yield our members to Satan. When we use our bodily members to carry out God's holy desires, we yield our members to Jesus Christ. Whomever we choose is whom we will be servants to. Whether a servant of Satan or Jesus Christ, this would make one of these spiritual figures our master. If you habitually yield your members to sin, then Satan becomes your master, and he will own those sinful members of your body. If you habitually yield your members to righteousness, then Jesus Christ becomes your master, and he will own those righteous members of your body. Satan can own certain members of a Christian's body, while Jesus owns other members at the same time. If a person uses their eyes to view immorality, their eyes will become the property of Satan. If a person uses their hands to steal, their hands will become the property of Satan. If a person uses their tongue to gossip and slander, their tongue will become the property of Satan. If a person's feet run to evil, their feet will become the property of Satan.  If a person uses their sexual organ for fornication and adultery, their sexual organ becomes the property of Satan. However, if a person uses their eyes to read the bible, their eyes will become the property of Jesus. If a person uses their hands to feed the poor, their hands will become the property of Jesus. If a person uses their tongue to glorify God, their tongue will become the property of Jesus. If a person uses their feet to run to God in prayer, their feet become the property of Jesus. If a person uses their sexual organ in a sanctified marriage bed, their sexual organ becomes the property of Jesus. This is why Ephesians 4:27 admonishes us not to give any place to the devil. In a lot of cases, many worldly people, even Christians, yield all their members or every aspect of their life to Satan.  According to Romans 1:28, these types of Christians are referred to as reprobate. They’re backslidden according to Jeremiah 3:14. The same members, Christians used for sin, Satan’s strange children(witches), have the legality to summon on evil altars. If a person habitually curses in the woke world, witches can summon this person to a shrine in the dream world to perform curses on their behalf. This is a form of subconscious witchcraft initiation. If a person's mind stays filled with evil thoughts, witches can summon this person’s mind to an altar in the dream for evil manipulation. This is how Christians can have Satanic dreams and receive attacks from them. They gave place to the enemy. Remember, when a person sleeps, several parts of the brain, like the Limbic system(emotions), Occipital lobe(visual processing), Temporal lobe(language and meaning), and Brainstem(REM sleep regulator), play a significant role in the ability to dream. This is why Proverbs 4:23 admonishes us to guard our thoughts, because it dictates what will occur in our dreams as we sleep.  If a person uses their feet to run to evil, witches will summon their feet to evil places in the dream world. The victim gave place to the enemy. Since the victim knowingly or unknowingly yielded themselves to Satan in the woke world, the victim's spirit must obey Satan when he summons them to strange evil places in the dream world. This is because Satan has more authority over the victim, due to their life being filled with more sin than holiness. How does this apply to Christians? The more sin a Christian has in their life, the more spiritual authority Satan has over them, and the less authority that Christian has to use against Satan. When the witch summons a carnal Christian to an evil altar, whoever’s authority is stronger will win. If the witch's authority in Satan is stronger than the Christian's authority in God, the Christian will have no choice but to yield to the Evil altar's call. This is how witchcraft can successfully affect Christians. This is spiritual law. Don’t forget that Spiritual Authority and power go hand in hand. Authority is like a police badge that establishes a cop to operate in that office. The officer's gun is the power that allows them to legally enforce their authority. Why are so many Christians, especially holy living Christians, so vulnerable to witchcraft summoning's and attacks? Yes, it's true, you can be a holy living Christian in moral everyday decisions, but did you know a holy living Christian can still be guilty of the sin called prayerlessness? This is a sin, because the bible instructs Christians to pray without ceasing according to 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  When a Christian neglects or abandons their prayer life altogether, they’re really forsaking God. What happens when you forsake God? 2 Chronicles 15:2 explains that he will forsake the prayerless Christian in return. However, Hebrews 13:5 states God will never leave or forsake us. 2 Chronicles 15:2 actually explains what God is really conveying in Hebrews 13:5. God will not leave or forsake those who don’t leave and forsake him. It's a stipulation to this promise. Remember what I taught you about the presence of God and his power going hand in hand. If God's presence is no longer with a Christian, that Christian is no better than the last time they spent in prayer with him. This means the only power they have to survive on, is the power from their last prayer and worship session. Reader, please understand a Christian's spiritual battery can go dead if they don’t keep it charged. This is why God commands us to pray without ceasing, due to its benefits of keeping the Christian's spirit strong. Did you know Satan's children(witches) pray and fast to stay spiritually strong as well? In fact, witches pray and fast more than Christians do. Christians act like they will die if instructed to fast for 1 day. Witches will go weeks without human food. Many Christians can't even concentrate on prayer for 30 minutes, but many witches can pray for hours straight. That’s why Christians are always getting defeated by Satan’s kingdom. Regarding Matthew 25:1–13, a parable of the foolish virgins, Jesus proves that neglecting time with God in prayer and supplication can lead to one’s oil going low or depleting. This is why witches send spells(darts) to Christians to prevent them from praying, so as to keep them spiritually weak. To summarize everything up, when Christians lack a life of consistent holy living, bible study, praying, and fasting, they have little to no spiritual authority and power to resist the call of evil altars, leaving them at the mercy of the strange children(witches), whom wield witchcraft with an iron fist. This explains how the evil spirits and witches can make you do what they want you to in a dream, due to their spiritual authority and power being greater than the weakened Christian. As a Christian, have you ever done shameful things in a dream that you would’ve never done in your woke life? This is why.

Can a Christian Have a Demon In Their Body?

The short answer is yes. Reader, I wouldn’t be able to give you this answer if I didn’t experience it in my own life. I say yes again, from a position of life experience with demonic activity and oppression. This is a very controversial topic, and I plan to tread carefully as I like to remain biblically sound, not theologically sound. To be biblically sound is to be spiritually sound. To be theologically sound doesn’t necessarily mean a person is spiritually sound.  Theology is a man-made written interpretation of God's word.  The true interpretation of God's word must ultimately be revealed by the Spirit of God. John 16:13 confirms that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truths. That’s why the Holy Spirit is also known as the Spirit of truth. 1 Corinthians 2:9–10 confirms that this same spirit of truth will reveal to us deep things of God. So, to be led by the Holy Spirit is to be taught by the Holy Spirit. To be led by man's doctrinal interpretation is to be led by a fleshly way of understanding. This is what hinders theological scholars. The more indoctrination they receive from man-written books and opinions, the less dependent they are on the Holy Spirit's interpretation of what God's word is really conveying to us. Romans 1:22 informs us that many theologically brainwashed scholars become lifted up in their own head knowledge to the point that they become fools. These types of people misconceive having Godly wisdom with attending theology school. Proverbs 3:7 admonishes us not to be wise in our own eyes. There's a difference between wisdom and knowledge. Scholars obtain knowledge from an academic standpoint, but Christian believers obtain wisdom from a spiritual standpoint. Isaiah 11:2 confirms that wisdom comes from the Holy Spirit, as he is the Spirit of wisdom. Those who teach wisdom are just echoing what the Holy Spirit of wisdom has revealed to humanity. Spirit-led Christians are taught by the school of the Holy Spirit, and academically led Christians are taught by the school of theology. Not all theological studies are bad, but most have been corrupted with human finite opinions. Many of God's people garner the opinions of the spiritually ignorant when it comes to topics on Christianity. A person who isn’t led by the spirit can’t be taught by the spirit, so they can’t lead others to the wisdom of the spirit. These types of people are considered spiritually blind and do not qualify to speak on things concerning the spirit. A blind person can't lead a person to the path of truth if they can't see the way. Matthew 15:14 confirms that a person blind in true spiritual understanding can't lead you where they have never been. The blind leader would then lead the follower into a ditch of error. If Christians listen to blind opinions, they will ultimately become spiritually blind as well and fall into the same ditch of error. Jeremiah 33:3 states, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” God will reveal things from the bible that a theology school could never. When a person who has been spiritually taught tries to convey these spiritual truths to those with theological strongholds, they will reject the wisdom, due to being taught to rationalize things from a carnal way of thinking. If what is being stated doesn’t line up with their traditional theological knowledge seared in their hearts, they automatically associate the statements with being false. Theological scholars feel that if they didn’t learn it in theology school, then it must be incorrect. These same carnally minded, theologically taught people are occupying church positions in which they lead members down the same way of thinking. This is why the power of God and healing miracles are scarce in the church today. Many churches allow themselves to be led by the opinions of men over the spirit of God. This is why a deep understanding of who God really is can be considered taboo in the church today. Church as we know it today has become complacent with its understanding of God and spiritual matters. The church has become a prisoner of basic-level teaching while shunning those who challenge its spiritual intellectual maturity. Hebrews 5:12–14 confirms that church people who refuse to grow are stuck on milk, while a chosen few choose to mature into eating meat. The meat-eating Christians are often considered outcasts, as they are often shunned by milk drinkers. These milk drinkers often accuse meat eaters of being religious heretics. Reader, I’m so glad I didn’t go to theology school. If I did, I wouldn’t be so dependent on the Holy Spirit to write my articles. Again, I reiterate, not all theological scholars are brainwashed, but most are. Did you know Satan has theological demons whose sole purpose is to write theology books and create doctrines to taint humans' spiritual understanding? Satan aims to flood Christians’ libraries with his evil rhetoric to cause confusion, division, and to prevent true understanding. 1 Corinthians 14:33 confirms God is not the author of confusion, but of truth. This would mean Satan is the author of confusion, and many people are being deceived by his theology books, which he has provided to the earth. Before he was called Satan, his name was Lucifer. According to Ezekiel 28:12, the angel Lucifer was full of knowledge, but this knowledge became corrupt in Ezekiel 28:17 when he became Satan. That’s what is contained in demonically inspired Christian study books: corrupted knowledge. This is the same corrupted knowledge that theological scholars can be contaminated with if not careful. I also truly believe Satan manipulated mankind to remove certain books from the bible. Satan did this to darken the human understanding and to maintain this darkness regarding the mysteries of the spirit, according to Ephesians 4:18.  The bible warns what will happen to those who assist Satan’s agenda to hide biblical truths and distort them, according to Revelation 22:18-19. If Christians aren’t careful, they can be deceived. Do not be deceived, Satan knows the bible better than any Christian. He even used the word of God to try and deceive Jesus in the desert, according to Matthew 4:3, Matthew 4:5–6, and Matthew 4:8–9. Reader, please remember that not all Christian teachings come from God. Isaiah 5:20 warns us to stay away from those who call good evil and evil good. You will not be able to discern what is good from evil if you’re not being led by the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:14–15 confirms that these things can only be spiritually discerned. Galatians 1:11-12 states, “11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” In these two passages of scripture, Paul stated he received gospel information from Jesus himself. We know that Jesus is God according to Isaiah 9:6. For detailed proof of this, please visit my article entitled “Jesus Christ Is God.” So Paul, receiving his gospel teachings from Jesus Christ, wrote Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon. These are all books written from a foundation of Godly wisdom, not just head knowledge. What I have done in the explanation above is lay out for you, as the reader, a firm foundation for what is to be discussed within the topic of whether a Christian can have a demon in their body. According to Genesis 6:4, Angels who left their first estate(the watchers), bore children with the daughters of men on the earth. We know the fallen angels who bore the title “sons of God” can also be referred to as watchers, according to Daniel 4:13. This particular verse in Daniel referred to God being accompanied by a watcher angel. For a brief, detailed explanation on the watchers, please review my article entitled “The Reality Of Hell & Spiritual Prisons,” section “The Angels That Left Their First Estate.” These hybrid children belonging to the watchers were known as mighty men of renown. These hybrids are infamously known as giants, which in Hebrew means Nephilim. According to Genesis 6:5 -7, God decided to destroy the Nephilim, and everything not present on the Ark, as confirmed in Genesis 7:21–23. The Nephilim and their corrupted generation were part of what prompted God to bring the Flood. Book 1- Watchers- Chapter 5-entitled "Book of the Words of Righteousness" verses 28-31 states, "28 And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. 29 Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men and from the Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be called. 30 And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble. They take no food, but nevertheless hunger and thirst, and cause offences. 31 And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them.” These passages from the book of Enoch confirm that the Nephilim are evil spirits originating from the union of fallen angels and daughters of man. Notice these passages also state the evil spirits' mission is to cause destruction on the earth and to oppress the children of men. These evil spirits are commonly known as demons. Matthew 12:43-44 states, “43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.” In these passages of scripture, demons are also referred to as unclean spirits. These demonic spirits are restless and need a place to abide in. The unclean spirit referred to this type of resting place as a house. 2 Corinthians 5:1-4 states, “For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.” Paul describes the body as a house for the spirit, and to be “unclothed” is to be spiritually disembodied—an uncomfortable condition. From research gathered so far, we learned that evil spirits are the result of deceased Nephilim children spawned from fallen angels and the daughters of men. We learned that these spirits are evil and seek to cause destruction on earth and oppression to the seed of men. We learned these evil spirits are unclean and are restless, looking for a house to dwell in. We learned that the term house in which these demon spirits are referring to is the human body. Why are these Nephilim spirits so restless? It's because they don’t have a place, as God will not let them into Heaven, due to them not being a creation of his. Hebrews 4:9-10 describes God's dwelling place as a destination of rest. Those who belong to Father God will dwell in his place of origin at the appointed time, according to Hebrews 9:27 and John 14:2. The only two options these restless spirits have are to dwell in Hell or wander the earth looking for a human body(house) to dwell in. The Nephilim children's spirits never originated from heaven, like human spirits did, so it wouldn’t make sense for them to have access to heaven. However, they do have access to Hell, since they are the seed of the fallen angels. Matthew 25:41 confirms that a place of everlasting fire, known as Hell, was specifically created for Satan and the other rebellious angels. By spiritual DNA right, these demonic spirits must share the same infernal abode as their fallen angelic fathers, according to God's spiritual laws. This explains where demons go when deliverance ministers or exorcists cast them out of the human body. The person performing the deliverance must be specific, or the demon will go back to dry places, roaming the earth for its next victim. When demons are ordered to leave the human body, they must be specifically told to go to the pit(Hell). Demons love to look for any reason to stay on earth, which is why they cling to curses and covenants(spiritual excuses). No demon spirit wants to go back to Hell. The demons know from centuries of experience that hell is a horrible place to be in. If demons can’t stomach Hell, what more hope do human spirits have in that place of torment? This is why it’s so hard to get demons to leave. Through curse rights, demons can inhabit houses, areas, or objects. This is where you get so-called haunted houses from. It's really a demonized place in which evil spirits masquerade as ghosts. A ghost is said in literature to be a human who has died but refuses to leave the earth's dimension. These are really demons inhabiting these places, taking advantage of human ignorance. Demons get enjoyment from manipulating humanity through fear and are responsible for folklore, legends, Superstitions, myths, and urban legends told from generation to generation. Demons are responsible for infamous objects that permeate evil feelings and misfortunes. These evil objects are known as cursed objects. The object is considered cursed due to the enablement of evil spirits to inhabit wherever the object is located. As long as that object remains, demons remain. Wherever there is a curse, demons are accompanied by it. Curses are a result of unconfessed and unrepentant sin. Curses are spiritual legal excuses for demons to stay around. Objects, places, or people can be cursed, hence why demons can dwell amongst or within that person. If a curse is present in a person's life, demons can dwell within or around them. If a person isn’t a Christian, they have no spiritual authority to make the demons leave. This is proved with the story of the sons of Sceva, according to Acts 19:13–16. Only Christians have the spiritual authority to command demons to leave, as confirmed in Luke 10:19–20. If Christians don’t know their spiritual authority, the demons will take advantage of their ignorance and stay, continuing to torment. Hosea 4:6 confirms this. Now, let's break down how a Christian body can still contain a demon. Remember what we discussed, demons desperately need a place to rest on Earth. Their resting place is the human body while wandering the Earth's plain. The human body is considered a house. Did you know that demons prefer to dwell in Christian houses over non-Christians? Doesn’t that seem counterintuitive? No, it isn’t. Although non-Christians have no power to kick demons out of their house, Christians do. However, the non-Christians already belong to Satan. Remember what I told you, Satan doesn’t have to break into a house he already owns. Evil assignments have been given to demon spirits to try to enter and inhabit Christian houses. Why? Satan seeks to destroy the Christians, and what’s a better way to do it than inside the Christians' own house? Why hasn’t Christianity picked up on this yet? Why do most Christians believe that demons can’t dwell inside their body just because their Christian? This biblical error, known as a device, was successfully planted into Christian theology by Satan himself. 2 Corinthians 2:11 warns us not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices. Satan knows that Christians will never be able to identify an enemy whom they think can’t get into their house. This goes back to my statement of Christians being ignorant of spiritual laws that govern the spirit and the earthly world. This is why 2 Timothy 2:15 urges us to study spiritual law to prevent the shame of allowing demons to successfully enter their house. I’m going to properly break down Matthew 12:43-45 in a way you probably never heard it before.

 Matthew 12:43-45 A Spiritual Law breakdown:

Matthew 12:43 states, “When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.”

Christians need to understand that not all deliverance is instantaneous. These demon spirits may have gained access to the Christian's human body, possibly before they became Christians. The demon spirits could’ve had legality due to ancestral curses, which resulted from past ancestral sins. Also, the demon spirits could’ve had legality due to personal curses in a person's own life, which resulted from past or current sins. The Christian deception lies in a lack of understanding when it comes to the spiritual foundation. Psalm 11:3 states, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” A physical foundation is the underlying base or structure that supports and stabilizes something tangible, like a building, wall, or physical system. It's the part you often don't see, but everything else relies on it. A bad physical foundation is one that fails to support the structure it’s meant to uphold, often due to poor materials, planning, or environmental issues. A spiritual foundation is the set of core beliefs, principles, and truths that support a person's spiritual life or a society’s moral compass.  A bad spiritual foundation is one that cannot sustain a person’s faith, character, or relationship with God, especially under pressure or trials. When the spiritual foundation is bad, it makes it hard for the promises of God to manifest in a Christian's life. Regardless of construction efforts, effective building cannot be maintained with a faulty foundation. Even if you’re a Christian, it will be hard to get to a certain level in your walk with Christ if one continues to try and build upon a faulty spiritual foundation. Matthew 7:24-27, “24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”  According to these passages of scripture, a successful Christian builds their foundation on rock. Matthew 16:18 confirms this rock is God(Jesus Christ). Daniel 2:34 confirms this same rock(Jesus Christ) will destroy Satan's kingdom permanently at the appointed time. According to John 3:3, to be born again would mean the old house of sin must be torn down, a new non-faulty foundation is established, and a new house(temple) can be built for God to reside in. If Christians don’t allow Jesus Christ to be the cornerstone of their foundation, it can cause complications and ultimately destruction of their internal Godly kingdom. Ephesians 2:20 confirms Jesus Christ as the cornerstone. Jesus, the cornerstone, maintains the integrity and longevity of a believer. A cornerstone is the first stone set in the construction of a building's foundation. It is traditionally placed at the corner of a structure and is crucial because: It determines the alignment and position of the entire building, all other stones are set in reference to it, and It symbolizes stability, strength, and integrity. According to Matthew 7:24-27, an unsuccessful Christian builds their foundation on sand. In these verses, sand can be defined as sin contamination. Foundational contaminations can be inherited according to Lamentations 5:7 and Exodus 20:5. These inherited contaminations can be defined as generational curses. Example: A person has a long history of their ancestors or close relatives born before them, possessing drinking problems. Statistically, that person will eventually develop a drinking problem as well. Please see my article, “The Dangers of Alcohol.” Foundational contamination can be developed by a person’s own life choices, according to Proverbs 5:22. People are not born Christians, but into sin, according to Psalm 51:5. This would mean their spiritual foundation starts out as sand. It could be a possibility that this person comes from a lineage of people who weren’t particularly Christian. A foundation consisting of sand is soft and can be molded. If a person didn’t grow up on Christian values, then their foundation would be shaped by worldly values.  A sand foundation is a breeding ground for demonic spirits. Why? Because this foundation formation is the product of sinful nature and is infested with curses as a result. Curses are the result of disobedience to God's word.  Demon spirits’ infiltration and habitation in a person's foundation are a byproduct of curses put in place. Depending upon when a person converts to Christianity, will determine how faulty their foundation will be. No person is born with a perfect foundation. If a person understands what Salvation means and chooses to receive salvation at a really young age, then this person's spiritual foundation wouldn’t be as faulty as the person who waited till their teenage years or adulthood to start their walk with Christ. Why is this possible? The earlier Christian convert may not have as much contamination from personal sins but may still possess contamination from ancestral sins. A person who accepts salvation in their later years will have more personal sins on top of contamination from ancestral sins, which would result in a faultier foundation. This scenario also depends on whether the earlier convert lived a consistent, obedient life according to the word, all the way up to the age range, later converts initiated their Christian Walk in their teenage to adult years. In a perfect scenario, if the earlier converts remained obedient to God's word, they would have fewer curses to break, versus later teenage and adult converts. Christians need to understand all curses are not automatically broken just because they initially accepted salvation.  Galatians 3:13 states, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:” Jesus became a curse in our place. This refers to Deuteronomy 21:23, where being hung on a tree was a sign of being cursed. Through the cross, He broke humanities legal curses that came from not obeying the law. According to Colossians 2:14–15, Jesus canceled the record of legal debt (curse of lawbreaking).He also defeated demonic powers—breaking curses tied to them. Christians will take these passages of scripture and run with it, claiming that their curses are automatically broken. This is partially true. Proverbs 28:13 states, “ He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Confession + Forsaking (true repentance) = Mercy (forgiveness). Hiding sin blocks forgiveness; revealing and turning from it brings God’s favor. Hebrews 9:22 confirms that blood is needed to purge sins of the law. 1 John 1:7 confirms Jesus Christ’s blood has done this for those who believe and accept it.  The blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse us of all past, present, and future sins.  When Jesus' blood covers our sins, it also breaks the curses associated with them. Jesus Christ’s blood can’t cover sins that are not confessed and truly repented of. This would mean those curses associated with them can’t be broken either. This would mean if sins went unrepentant of in a person's ancestral line, the rest of the bloodline would be held liable for the consequences of those sins. This is how a faulty spiritual foundation is born and maintained. This is spiritual law; Christians are not exempt from this. If a Christian doesn’t confess and truly repent for their past, present, future, and ancestral sins, Jesus' blood cannot cover them, enabling curses to continue to thrive even in a Christian's life. This is why it’s important for Christians to live a life of daily confession and repentance, according to Luke 9:23. This is why we should inquire of God if there is anything in our hearts that doesn’t please him, according to Psalm 139:23–24. A Christian can’t be saved from unconfessed sins or confessed sins that they aren’t truly repentant of. The benefits of Jesus Christ's curse-breaking blood come with conditions that require a convert to continuously confess sins and be truly repentant of them. This is how a Christian can still have demons inside their human body(house), even though they have accepted salvation. It all boils down to the state of the Christian's soul. The spirit is saved according to Titus 3:5–6. Your soul is being saved according to 1 Peter 1:9. Your flesh cannot be saved according to 1 Corinthians 15:50. Since the soul is being saved, that would mean Christ doesn’t have full residence in the soul. To take up residence in the human soul would mean establishing one's kingdom and expanding it. Luke 17:20–21 explains that Jesus Christ desires to build his kingdom within the human soul. If Jesus Christ doesn’t have full residence of a human soul, that would mean Satan owns the remaining residence. It's through this Satanic residence that gives rise to gateways for demonic habitation. This explains how a Christian’s spiritual foundation can be majority rock, but still contain sand in some parts. This also explains that a Christian can be saved but still have demons taking up residence in their human body, due to partial ownership of the human's soul. This is due to the soul being contained in the human body along with the spirit. Whatever the soul has access to, the demons would then have access to. A demon can’t completely possess a Christian, but it can possess parts of the soul, giving it legality to inhabit the human body. When demons have partial ownership of a human’s soul, it leads to soul fragmentation. Soul fragmenting is a concept found primarily in spiritual, psychological, and some inner healing or deliverance ministries. It refers to the idea that a person's soul can be broken into "fragments" due to trauma, sin, abuse, occult involvement, or intense emotional experiences.

Matthew 12:44 states, “Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.”

Verse 43 of Matthew 12th chapter, describes how a demon was cast out of a man. This same demon went forth looking for another house(suitable) fleshly host to inhabit. Notice in verse 44 how the evil spirit made the statement, “I will return into my house from whence I came out.” The question we must ask here is, “Was this a Christian or non-Christian host, the demon was referring to?” If so, “how was a demon able to get back into a Christian body?” Let's tackle the non-Christian scenario first. If a demonic spirit was cast out of a non-Christian and came back to find their body empty, swept, and garnished, this would mean the following:  “Empty.”, This implies a spiritual void. The person has been cleansed of the unclean spirit but did not fill that space with the Holy Spirit, God’s Word, or a devoted spiritual life. In other words, the person is spiritually unoccupied.  “Swept”, shows that the person made some moral or outward changes—cleaned up behavior or removed obvious sin—but it was superficial, not rooted in true repentance or regeneration by the Holy Spirit. “Garnished”, means the person may appear attractive or in order on the outside—decorated with good intentions, rituals, or religious habits—but again, without true transformation. It suggests a form of godliness but no spiritual power within. Deliverance without discipleship, spiritual filling, and an ongoing relationship with God leaves a person vulnerable. This brings up a valuable point: it's not good enough to have righteous intentions, because the road to hell is paved with good intentions. These good intentions are often never fulfilled, due to a person not accepting Jesus into their heart. Good intentions say, I will live holy the rest of my life. This is a powerful statement that must be backed up with true power itself. Humans don’t have the power to fulfill this good intention and maintain their acts, unless they have God inside of them empowering them to do it. Zechariah 4:6 states, “Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”  A consistent holy standard of living and ultimate redemption can’t be accomplished by our own limited human efforts. No matter how hard we try, eventually we will fail.  Hebrews 8:7-9 states, “7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.” God notes that the people did not remain faithful to the first covenant (the Law), leading to the need for a new one. What were the ancient Israelites missing in this equation? The holy spirit! Without the holy spirit within a non-Christian, the heart can't be transformed and remain that way. Ezekiel 36:26–27 states, “26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.” The Holy Spirit's supernatural power enables a person to fulfill God’s supernatural request to uphold supernatural laws while cohabiting in the physical domain of earth. A person can’t fulfill God's supernatural requests with limited human abilities. Matthew 19:26 confirms man's incapability to fulfill God's supernatural request on their own. Man will always need God's help. Humans were placed on earth and designed to fulfill supernatural requests from the spirit realm, as God confirmed according to Genesis 1:26–28. Due to banishment from the Garden of Eden, man became limited to the natural realm and subject to natural limitations. This caused man to be inconsistent with keeping the laws of God and more vulnerable to sinful corruption. This would mean God’s spirit would need to guide and empower humanity's ability to effectively and consistently fulfill his spiritual requests. For this to be made possible, God’s divine spirit would need to cohabitate within a person’s fleshly body. God's spiritual influence over a fleshly host is most effective when inside the fleshly body, versus externally guiding them through words alone. This is why demons fight to get inside the human body, to gain control and the ability to manipulate the body to fall deeper into sin. The evil spirits would then empower fulfillment of Satan’s evil plan for humanity to rebel(sin) against God's holy laws. Whether evil or holy, both spirits' Goal is to manipulate their hosts in a particular fashion. This is why God seals a person's body with the Holy Spirit after acceptance of salvation, according to Ephesians 1:13. The reason why an evil spirit is able to enter back into a non-Christian body, is due to a cleaning of the human house through gospel preaching of conviction, but no accepting of salvation, and sealing of the Holy Spirit. A pre-convert can forsake sin temporarily, due to the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Without being sealed with the Holy Spirit through salvation, this change remains temporary. This explains how a non-Christian can have a house that is empty, swept, and garnished temporarily. The demon can even be temporarily cast out during this moment. The demon will then come back to check to see if another spirit, mightier than it is, may be inhabiting the host body. If the demon finds the house cleaned up by the holy spirit but not occupied(protected) by the Holy Spirit, it will then enter back into the house. There is no other spiritual force challenging and preventing the evil spirit from entering back into the house. Notice how Matthew 12:44 states, “and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.” Let’s break down how this verse also applies to Christians. When Christians are convicted by the holy spirit preaching through man, it results in salvation and demons being cast out of that human body. Acts 8:5-7 states, “5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.” Philip, one of the seven deacons chosen in Acts 6 (not the apostle), travels to Samaria after persecution scattered the early church. He preaches the gospel, focusing specifically on Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Savior. The message is centered on Christ, not just miracles or morality. The people listen attentively and agree in unity ("with one accord") to what Philip is preaching. His words are confirmed by miracles, which validate his message. The crowd’s response was spiritual and emotional, triggered by both hearing the truth and witnessing divine power. As Philip preached and ministered, demonic spirits were cast out, screaming as they left their hosts. People afflicted with paralysis (palsies) and other physical ailments were also healed. Deliverance and healing are direct results of preaching Christ in power, not merely side events. Acts 8:5-7 describes perfectly the process of converting the hearers of God's word to Christians and experiencing the healing power of God. This is how a pre-convert is transitioned to a post-convert, resulting in their house being empty, swept, and garnished. So, for an evil spirit to return to a house that has been cleaned can also describe the state of a post-converted Christian. What makes it possible for an unclean spirit to enter a house that appears to be cleaned? An average earthly house typically has 5 to 7 rooms, including a living room, kitchen, 2–4 bedrooms, and 1–2 bathrooms. Larger homes may also include extras like a dining room, home office, or family room. Just like earthly homes, the Christian's “house” also contains many rooms. In Matthew 12:43–45, when Jesus refers to a demon returning to a person’s “house,” He is using metaphorical language—“house” represents the person’s inner life: their soul, mind, or spiritual condition. When a person first enters the house, they instantly walk into the living room, as it is often connected to the front door entrance. Spiritually speaking, when people analyze a Christian's life looking from the outside in, they see the “Living room”, because the first thing you see of a person is how they’re living, based on what they show you. This is called opening the front door of the house by paying attention to the fruits a person bears, as confirmed in Matthew 7:16-20. However, a person can usually control the narrative of how their perceived, so they could manipulate a person into seeing only what they want to be exposed.  This means a person can choose to be seen as righteous in everyday living, but evil in certain parts of their life behind the scenes. Matthew 23:27–28 states, “27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.” Regarding a Christian's “House”(soul/heart state), their “Living room(Public life)” may appear clean, but their “other rooms(Personal life)” in the house could be dirty. When a person invites company over to the house, they often clean up the portion of the house where guests will be occupying. Meanwhile, their other rooms(Personal life) may be junky. Their bedrooms may contain “dead men’s bones(sin)”. This means spectators are guests to a person's way of living, and most time, are only shown certain parts, according to what the host wants them to see. These types of Christians are referred to as hypocrites, due to their hiding iniquity in their hearts. This would prove that the Holy Spirit doesn’t own all rooms of a hypocritical Christian's house, as not all rooms are clean and holy. This would mean unclean(evil) spirits would have the legality to claim and inhabit those rooms of the house. This means the human soul can be fragmented, where the Holy Spirit owns rooms in the house, and Satan owns the others. This is why  Ephesians 4:27 admonishes us not to give any room or space in our house to Satan. If the Holy Spirit has ownership of rooms(soul pieces) in the house, then he would have partial access to manipulate the human body(or life) to serve as members for righteousness. If Satan has legal ownership of rooms(soul pieces) in the house, then he would have partial access to manipulate the human body(or life) to serve as members of lawlessness. This is due to the soul being attached to the body. Whatever the soul is attached to, if legal rights are obtained, spirits have the same right to manipulate those attachments, such as inhabiting and afflicting the human body. What if God owns 50% of the house, while Satan owns the other 50%? This would mean that Christian would be considered lukewarm, according to Revelation 3:15–16. God doesn’t tolerate lukewarm Christians, as he is not willing to go 50/50 with Satan. Mark 12:30 confirms he wants all of a Christian's love, according to the soul and mind. A lot of Christians love Satan just as much as they love Jesus Christ. You show your love for Satan by choosing to live in sin. You show your love for God by choosing to live a righteous life. What happens when Satan becomes the majority owner of a Christian's House? That Christian becomes reprobate, according to Romans 1:28. God will not occupy where he isn’t wanted. He will leave the Christians to their own decisions and allow Satan to take over other spaces of the Christian's house, if they allow this. This is also known as backsliding, according to Proverbs 14:14. God will not enter a Christian's house and eat in the dining room with devils, according to 1 Corinthians 10:21. God wants to be the only cook in your kitchen. God only wants you to eat what he serves, as it is good, according to Psalm 34:8. God will not sit at a table garnished with evil food cooked by Satan. Could you imagine being a delusional Christian, thinking you can live any kind of way and still serve God, without there being consequences? Christians think they can partake in fellowship with God according to Revelation 3:20, and still live a sinful life at the same time. This is false deception. God requires full surrender, not partial surrender. Practicing outward Christianity, while sinning in one’s personal life, is like inviting Jesus Christ into the living room of your house, while Satan is in your bedroom, hiding dead bodies(sins). Wouldn’t that feel awkward and intense? Wouldn’t you feel uncomfortable sitting in front of Jesus, knowing that he knows what’s going on in your bedroom? This is why a lot of Christians feel guilty in church, especially when a sermon exposes their hidden sins. Ultimately, these guilty Christians eventually stop inviting Jesus into their house out of the intensity of guilt. They will do similar to what Adam and Eve did when they sinned and hid themselves from God in the Garden of Eden, according to Genesis 3:8. This is how Demons can enter inside the Christian human body, when they’re living hypocritical lives.

Matthew 12:45 states, “Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.”

If a person is pre-Christian suffering with demons, it's best to leave the person as is, if that person doesn’t want to accept Jesus Christ's blood for their salvation. Failure to accept Jesus Christ's blood would result in that person disqualifying himself or herself from being sealed with the Holy Spirit's protection. Many non-believers want to accept God as a healer and deliverer, but they won’t accept him as Lord and Savior. John 6:26 states, “ Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.” Many followed Jesus only for what He could give them—not because they believed in Him as Lord and Savior. Only the people who accept Jesus as lord and Savior are protected from demonic habitation.  Ephesians 1:13  states, “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.” If non-believers don’t trust the word of truth and accept salvation, they will not be sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.  1 John 4:4 confirms that the Holy Spirit within a believer is greater than any demonic power, providing spiritual protection. Since the non-believer doesn’t have the Holy Spirit to serve as a divine barrier against demonic infiltration, nothing is stopping the evil spirit that was previously cast out from coming back into their house. When a demon is overcome, it learns from its mistakes. This is why the demon will not come back alone, but with other wicked spirits to help fortify a stronghold in a person's life. If it was hard casting out that demonic spirit from the non-believer the first time, it would be even harder casting it out now that it has help to fortify its defenses against a person trying to obtain deliverance. More wicked spirits mean more curses, evil covenants, and sins will be cultivated in that victim. These wicked spirits will fortify themselves with spiritual legal excuses not to leave that human body. This is the crucial error that inexperienced deliverance ministers, other spiritual leaders, or general Christians make when performing deliverance on a person. Evil spirits can also hide from the person performing the deliverance if the facilitator misses legal rights(curses) that may be hidden in the victim's personal life or ancestral bloodline. If the person is not saved, it's almost not worth performing the deliverance, as it will make their problem worse later. These same spiritual fundamentals apply when it comes to a person receiving healing and then their sickness(infirmity) returns shortly after. Luke 13:11 states, “And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.” Jesus later reveals that Satan had bound her in verse 16, showing a direct link between a demonic spirit and her physical condition. When a person's sickness(infirmity) returns after receiving healing, they like to blame the person who prayed over them. More than likely, in this scenario of a non-believer having infirmities return, we know this is due to unbroken curses, enabling demons whom are originally responsible for that sickness(infirmity) to enter back into the human body again. Demons often cause sickness(infirmities), so it would be no surprise to see the same illness resurface in that victim's body once the demon manifests again. Also, remember the non-believer doesn’t have the protection of the Holy Spirit if they don’t accept salvation. So empty, swept, and garnished according to Matthew 12:44 , can represent temporary deliverance and healing. When it comes to the post-convert believer, they may have the Holy Spirit, but if they don’t walk in him, they can still be subject to demonic infiltration. 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 states, “3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.” In these passages of scripture, Paul feared the Corinthian Christians would be deceived and open themselves up to evil spirits, showing believers can come under demonic spiritual influence if not grounded in truth. In this particular scenario of the post-convert believer, having a demon come back to find their house empty, swept, and garnished, can represent the state of the house after the demon had been cast out. Now that legal rights have been obtained by the evil spirit due to human error, the demon now has the legality(excuse) to enter back into the Christian's house, despite them holding on to the title Christian. It means nothing to hold the title Christian and deny the power of a true believer. 2 Timothy 3:5 states, “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” Form of godliness" means outward religious behavior—appearing spiritual or moral. "Denying the power" means rejecting the true transforming power of the Holy Spirit, which changes lives and frees people from sin. Without Godly obedience and holy living, even those who hold the title Christian will be powerless when an evil spirit comes to reclaim their house. The demon will have learned a greater power(the Holy Spirit), has kicked him out of a house it once claimed for its own, so it will take with it other wicked spirits to prevent the Christian from being delivered as easily the first time around. These spirits will form a plan to kick the Holy Spirit out of the house, because they don’t like to share with him, as he ruins their torment. For instance, if the demons try to kill the Christian illegally, the Holy Spirit will intervene and stop the attack. Please remember evil spirits fight harder to get into a Christian's body. Why? To lead them into sin and kill them before they can repent, so they will go to hell. It's harder for demons to be effective against Christians externally, so they seek to place themselves within a Christian to manipulate from within. Once evil spirits get into a Christian's body, they seek to weaken their spiritual life by causing them to fall into sin and cease all prayer. This is to weaken the spiritual barrier of protection of the Holy Spirit, causing the Christian to be exposed to demonic attack. The Demons will then try to kill this backslidden Christian with sickness(Infirmity) or an unfortunate external accident. Car crashes, Gunshot deaths, and STD’s are some of their favorites. These inhabiting demons will also try to kill the victim in their sleep, reaffirming my earlier statement that one can be killed in their dreams. When a weakened Christian is asleep, they’re at their most vulnerable state. These darts(attacks) of the enemy are all manifested by the utilization of Witchcraft power. Please know that when the Evil spirits successfully infiltrate a victim, they like to distract them from the fact that external evil forces are still working to take them out as well. The infiltrating demon's job is to lower the Christian's spiritual protection; the external demons and witches' (strange children’s) job is to send darts(attacks) at the weakened Christian. When a Christian is successfully infiltrated, they are at more of a disadvantage than one. The demons can read their thoughts, access the person's memory bank to study the victim's life, and hinder bodily functions. This means that when a Christian tries to pray, the demon can cause the body to grow horribly tired and fall asleep. This, in return, will successfully neutralize the Christian’s prayer. They will also make it nearly impossible to focus on prayer, as they will continuously project random thoughts in the mind while the Christian is trying to pray. I’ve had demons do this to me in the past, and as soon as I fell asleep, I saw them attack me in my dreams. They didn’t waste any time. These demons can also hinder your brain function, causing you to forget important things like bill deadlines, how to perform task at your place of employment, forgetting you had to go into work, forgetting to look before you allow your car to pull out into the road, not being aware of your surroundings in general, they will especially cause you to forget scripture, lose interest in studying Gods word, give you false interest in everything else but the things of God, manipulate your emotions, cause you to be talkative, cause drastic loss in energy, accelerated heart rate, extreme headaches from screaming inside your head, suffocation, insomnia, speech impediment, restricted movement, learning disabilities, health issues, impulsive complaining, lack of focusing forward with your eyes, hindering of talents and spiritual gifts, and much more. These evil spirits can perform these manipulations through access to the brain's mental lobes and bodily organs. These demons will also cause their victim to forget dreams and will manipulate a person's dreams from inside the victim's body. The victim will not be able to stop these demonic dreams from occurring until they gain spiritual authority and power back from the evil spirits. A Christian will not be able to function in their full potential or live the best life God has for them while demons are inside their body. When demons get into the body, they aim to cause sinful habits, distract a person from God, hinder physical and spiritual abilities, and ultimately kill the victim and take them to hell. Christians, remember it's dangerous to live with a demon inside of you! Don’t get complacent! That demon will try to kill you while in sin, the very first chance it gets! If a Christian is successfully killed, the demons that are conveniently inside that body will pull that human spirit out with them to escort it to the gates of Hell. This is why Christians need to watch how they live, so not to give place to the devil to implement these demonic strategies! 2 Peter 2:20–22 states, “20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.” These passages of scripture confirm Matthew 12:45, which confirms that these troubles will also come upon this wicked generation and generations to come if they initially escape evil through Jesus Christ, but return to a life of sin.

Your Spiritual Monitoring System(Dreams)

As promised, I would like to elaborate on what a person's spiritual monitoring system truly entails. This mechanism enables the spirit to receive messages from the spirit world through the dimension of dreams. This mechanism also allows the spirit to remember messages received or events that took place in a person’s dreams as well. This is a spiritual mechanism God installed inside every human spirit for the utilization of spirit-to-spirit communion. This was a supplemental measure put in place by God while a person's spirit is subject to the earth until one's death.1 Corinthians 15:50 states, “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.” This verse confirms the flesh is limited to the earthly realm, and cannot perceive things of a divine spirit without the help of man's inner spirit, according to John 3:6. We, as human beings, will no longer need to dream or possess this spiritual mechanism once in heaven. This is due to our spirit no longer being subject to the limitations of the fleshly body. Job 33:15-16 states, “15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,” Notice God waits until the fleshly body is in a “deep sleep” state before he relays divine messages. During this state, the body isn’t dead, but it's also not conscious.  It's sort of like putting your computer into sleep mode. The computer isn’t turned off, but it isn’t running conscious programs either. When a computer enters sleep mode, it pauses most hardware functions and stops running active programs (like YouTube). If you don’t believe me, try to use your fleshly vocal cords the next time you go to sleep; it will be impossible. This is the same phenomenon that occurs when a victim experiences sleep paralysis. Demons and Witches intentionally place their victims in this state to torture them, at the same time making sure the victims are aware of it’s happening. I had a witch do this to me while I was sleeping. My spirit was pulled out of my body, from my head to my waist. I then looked in my bedroom and saw a witch smiling while taking something off my computer table. For this witch to have this type of manipulative control over me, it had to mean I broke spiritual laws to yield this witch control. If a demon tries to illegally pull the spirit out of a human body, God will mercifully wake them amid this attack. This will cause what seems to be the phenomenon of sleep paralysis. God does this knowing you can’t use your voice to call for his help, but you can say Jesus Christ in your heart and get the same results. God knows you can’t call on Jesus if you’re not aware of pending danger. God wants you to have a fighting chance of survival, and he will not tolerate the dark side breaking spiritual laws. A victim would become spiritually aware but would be stuck halfway out of the human body. When the human body is conscious, it can dictate what a person is able to see, feel, and hear. When the body is unconscious, it enables spiritual senses to have more dominion over a person's soul. This spiritual mechanism of dreaming allows the human spirit to receive messages such as warnings and instructions sent by God. This is because God is a spirit, and he inhabits the spirit world. This mechanism also allows the spirit to experience divine visitations from God as well. This means the spirit is fully active and spiritually cognizant of what's taking place in the spirit world. The spirit will be fully aware of other spirits and their activities. However, this is only for a determined amount of time. No one stays in dreams, as they have a time limit. If the demon or witch has more spiritual authority and power, they can cause their victim to wake up early or remain asleep to endure spiritual attacks. Proverbs 20:27, “The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.” This verse shows that the human spirit acts like an internal searchlight—containing a monitoring mechanism by which God examines or illuminates the inner life, including thoughts, memories, and spiritual impressions (like dreams). Daniel 2:1 states, “ And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.” Here, the spirit was affected by the dream—indicating it received and retained the content of the dream. The troubling sensation that remained suggests the spirit holds memory and awareness even beyond sleep. If God is in control of your spiritual monitoring system, this would mean your system would function in light. If a Christian is careless and allows the satanic kingdom to gain access to their spiritual monitoring system(Hacking), they can download evil viruses(curses and night terrors) into it. This will cause the victim's system to grow dark and work against them. What does this mean? It means the Satanic kingdom will be able to dictate what you perceive and what messages you receive.  If you can’t remember your dreams, it's because the satanic kingdom has conspired to hide something from you. Demons and witches can monitor your spiritual mechanism to see what messages God will relay in your dreams. These Godly revelations could change the trajectory of a person, if heeded, practically overnight. To prevent this from happening, demons will work with witches to cast magic spells on the victim. This will result in the revelation or message being stolen and will cause the victim to forget their dream when they wake up. These magic spells can also cause victims to forget past revelations received from God in dreams. Demons and witches seek to steal dreams and visions before they can become understanding. Demons and witches will then plant false dreams and visions to corrupt a victim's perception and decision-making. Dreams are portals, pathways/gateways, that can be accessed and manipulated. Satan will send monitoring spirits to collect information on a victim, so they will know what to sabotage in the dream(spirit world), before it can manifest in the physical world. Remember, nothing occurs in the physical world without first taking place in the spiritual world. When you share your dreams with others, please use discernment. You could be sharing it with a star hunter(witch). A star hunter is one who collects, sabotages, and exchanges human destinies, as instructed to do by Satan. Daniel 8:10, “And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.” This verse is part of Daniel Chapter 8, where God gives Daniel a foresight of the destruction of other kingdoms, which in their day were as powerful as that of Babylon. The ram with two horns was the second empire, that of Media and Persia. He saw this ram overcome by a he-goat. This was Alexander the Great. Mature Christians know that scripture contains base-level meanings but can also contain different levels of hidden wisdom. This prophetic vision, showing satanic power casting down stars, can also be symbolic of destinies, angels, or leaders being attacked or destroyed. Like Alexander the Great conquered and destroyed the destiny of Medio-Persia, the star hunters(modern-day witches and demons) will seek to conquer and destroy yours. Witches will deploy demonic spirits into human dreams to attack and frustrate a victim's destiny. Many ask why demons show up in their dreams, it’s due to bad personal decision making, and also witches deploying them from evil altars. A Christian doesn’t have to make any mistakes to be attacked. As long as Christians wear the banner of salvation, they will always be a living target for the Satanic kingdom. Christians must understand the mystery of the watchnight hours. The watchnight hours are between 12:00 pm- 4:00 am. This is the time range when all of Satan's demonic kingdom activates against humanity. This is the time when Satanic forces seek to attack humanity spiritually and physically. This is the timeframe where evil forces can operate with little to no resistance. Most Christians are sleeping around this time frame, when they should be up interceding in prayer. Christians constantly make the deadly mistake of not praying at night or during these watch hours. Christians have become complacent due to their ignorance of how spiritual law truly works. Most Christians go prayerless every week without realizing their protection is determined by their consistency in prayer. This includes dream protection from demonic infiltration. Dream protection doesn’t just happen by chance; it must be activated. If Christians don’t cover their nights in prayer, they’re leaving the door wide open for Satanic forces to enter. Ezekiel. 22:30 confirms prayer builds a hedge of protection around the Christian and one for whom they are interceding. Ecclesiastes 10:8 confirms that if Christians stop praying for themselves or others, the hedge will gradually weaken and break. This will open the door for Satanic forces to attack the intercessor and the person being prayed for. Once you start praying, you must stay consistent. Satan is waiting for Christians to get lazy and slack off, so he can take them out! Personal and intercessional prayer angers Satan because it's hard for him to penetrate consistent, effective prayer from a Christian living a Holy life. These prayers hinder the plans of darkness, so they aim to neutralize these threats quickly. Christians are supposed to pray to protect themselves, but also to protect others being targeted at night by Satanic forces. Again, this is called intercession. Christian, they will aim to kill you to stop your hindering prayers. The term Intercession means standing in the gap to pray or plead on behalf of someone else, asking God to intervene, forgive, protect, or bless another person or group. In 1 Timothy 2:1, the Apostle Paul admonishes the church in Ephesus to intercede for others—leaders, nations, and the lost. How much more should modern Christians pray and intercede in these last days? Ezekiel 22:30–31 also warns of the consequences of a lack of intercession. In 1 Samuel 12:23, not praying for others was seen as a serious failure that could invite trouble. Revelation 12:12 confirms that Satan’s kingdom knows their time is short, so they maximize every second of their remaining time to carry out the evil assignments of Satan against the world, especially Christians. While the world is running out of time, Satan's kingdom is awake, working overtime, while God's kingdom on earth is asleep and distracted. Ironically, 1 Peter 5:8 confirms God warning Christians to be sober and vigilant. Instead, most Christians are spiritually drunk due to committing spiritual fornication (Revelation 17:1–2), spiritual adultery(Jeremiah 3:6–9), and sleep(Revelation 3:3). Intercessors are God's counterforce to the Satanic invasion of the night. Unfortunately, God’s intercessors are scarce because His Christians are too lazy to stay awake and pray for themselves, let alone for someone else.  Isaiah 59:16 confirms this. When Christians fail to function as intercessors strategically, many human lives are forfeited as a result. Blessings are stolen, miracle miscarriage manifests, breakthroughs are delayed, destinies are destroyed, diverted, exchanged, or altered, spirits are captured and enslaved, sicknesses(infirmities) are implanted, and curses are injected into many victim’s lives. The reason why Christians don’t put much importance on daily/nightly prayer, especially in the midnight hour, is due to a lack of understanding when it comes to the intensity of evil activity that transpires between the 12:00 pm - 4:00 am hours. If they did, everyone would be sober, awoke, and vigilant at their posts, warring in prayer on behalf of humanity. Between 2:00 am - 4:00 am, demonic attacks increase, as demons and witches know morning is soon to come, when most humans wake up. Ironically, most Christians wake up to do morning prayers, after the battle has already been waged and the outcome decided.  Luke 22:39-53 states, “39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. 40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 49 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? 50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? 53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.” Luke 22:39–53 occurred at night, shortly after the Last Supper, on the Mount of Olives (specifically the Garden of Gethsemane). Matthew 26:31, 36 parallels the account, as Jesus clearly identifies it as “this night”, confirming the nighttime setting. According to John 13:30, Judas leaves to betray Jesus at night, and the arrest in Luke 22:47–53 happens shortly after. What time was Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane? The Last Supper (Passover) happened after sunset (as required by Jewish law). Afterward, Jesus and his disciples went to the Mount of Olives to pray (Luke 22:39). According to Matthew 26:40, he prayed three separate times(Matthew 26:39,42,44), returning to find the disciples asleep each time. This suggests that at least one to three hours passed in prayer — all while the disciples grew tired, which strongly indicates very late at night. Jesus was arrested in the garden during that same night. He was taken to the high priest and later to Pilate early in the morning (Matthew 27:1, Mark 15:1). So, Jesus probably didn’t start praying exactly at 12:00 pm midnight, but likely late at night, possibly around 11 PM to 2 or 3 AM. He was in intense prayer while the disciples slept from exhaustion, which supports it being deep at night. Let's break down Luke 22:39-53 and see how it applies to the importance of praying in the midnight hour. In verse 40, Jesus instructed them to pray so they wouldn’t end up in temptation. Why would Jesus make this profound statement? When humanity goes to sleep, the satanic kingdom prepares to tempt humanity in their dreams with witchcraft. Examples could be sexual temptation (Spirit Spouse /Incubus/Succubus), satanic food in dreams, receiving gifts or money from the devil, invitation to demonic schools, invitation to attend strange demonic rituals, invitation to sign strange documents, letting strange animals into your house, car riding dead relatives, letting dead relatives into your house, wearing strange shoes or clothing, marrying a stranger, being invited into a strange house, and many more. James 4:7 states, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” One of the major forms of submission is dedicating prayer to God. A Christian cant receive power from God without prayer; they go hand in hand. No prayer, no power!!!! Christians make the mistake of trying to resist devils without first submitting to God in prayer. He who kneels before the lord can stand against all the kingdom of darkness. A prayerless Christian will be ineffective at making the devil flee. If a Christian's prayer life is weak, they will not be able to resist the seduction of witchcraft in their dreams. The Christian spirit will be too weak to resist the call of witchcraft. Whenever a prayerless Christian is summoned to an altar, they will have no choice but to answer the call and perform the evil task required of them. This is due to a lack of spiritual authority and power from prayerlessness. The helpless Christian will be forced to yield to satanic temptation. In verse 43, notice how an angel came to strengthen Jesus while he was praying. Satanic forces will attack Christians with physical and mental fatigue while they’re praying. This also sheds light on one of the reasons why Jesus seemed to be suffering during prayer in verse 44. This is to halt prayer. Demonic forces know that if they can neutralize prayer, they can prevent evil darts from being ineffective. This is why God assigns guardian angels to every believer. Christians need to know they’re not alone when they pray. They have a guardian angel who stands by their side. Likewise, Jesus also had guardian angels who accompanied him during his ministry on earth. These guardian angels fend off evil afflictions and strengthen the human spirit. This is one of the reasons Christians can pray for long periods of time, especially during night hours. Matthew 26:53 states, “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?” When Christians pray, angels are deployed to stand guard against evil forces. This is extremely beneficial during the 12:00 pm - 4:00 am demonic hour. If Christians aren’t praying, how can they prepare for the pending attacks? The Christians are left solo, with no help, due to prayerlessness. This means the prayerless Christian will be susceptible to being mobbed(overwhelmed) by a team of demons and witches. Christians, remember it’s not a solo mission. If Satan’s kingdom understands that it takes a team to win, so must Christians. Even Kobe and Jordan couldn’t win championships by themselves, no matter how good they were. Psalm 103:20 states, “Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.” Prayer activates God's voice in Christians' lives. If Christians aren’t praying, the angels can’t respond. It's not necessarily the human word angels respond to, but the word God speaks through Christians via bible usage and prayer. Without prayer and bible study, Christians cannot be a shining beacon of God's voice.  Humans can’t command angels by their own authority and power, but through God's authority and power. This is why signs and wonders don’t manifest when prayerless and biblically ignorant Christians try to declare and decree things in the earthly realm and against evil spirits/demonic beings. These are the same people who ask, how come angels didn’t help me? Where was God when I was getting attacked or captured by demons? They were at heaven's gates, waiting for you to use God's word in prayer. Remember, holy spirits and evil spirits are both subject to spiritual law and cannot act outside of it. Both sides of the spiritual kingdom require legal rights to intervene in human activities. Verse 45 states, Jesus found his disciples sleeping. This is very significant, due to the disciples being ignorant of one of the most iconic events that would take place in Jesus' life. Christians never know the danger Satan has planned for them in life or the dream world. This is why Christians must pray, so as not to be caught off guard by satanic devices. This could prove fatal, and we as Christians are fortunate to still be alive at this very moment. God’s mercy and grace covered us in times of laziness and ignorance. There's a difference between slumber and sleep. The Bible makes a clear distinction between godly sleep (a gift of rest from God) and a spiritually dangerous slumber, which can signify laziness, apathy, or spiritual blindness—sometimes influenced by Satan to dull a person’s awareness or prevent them from fulfilling God’s will. Proverbs 3:24 states, “ When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.” Sweet sleep is a result of trusting in God’s wisdom and walking uprightly. It brings rejuvenation and protection. There is such a thing as too much sleep. Have you ever heard the saying too much of a good thing can be bad for you? Proverbs 6:10-11, “10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.” These are repeated warnings that slumber leads to destruction. This can apply naturally and spiritually. Did you know witches like to project spirits of slumber onto Christians when they’re praying and reading God's word? Don’t you find it strange to suddenly become tired when it's time to pray or study God’s word? You have energy to do everything else but get tired when listening to a sermon at church. These are witchcraft darts sent towards Christians to neutralize the effectiveness of their time with God. Slumber is demonic and can make Christian’s victims of spiritual robbery.1 Thessalonians 5:6 admonishes Christians not to allow slumber to overcome them like the world. This could cause Christians to miss key spiritual moments that could change their life. This could also cause Christians to be caught off guard with the rest of the world at the time of the rapture of the true church. It disables Christians from being woke and watchful during the day and night hours. Through witchcraft, Satan, has caused many Christians to succumb to slumber in which most never wake. For a Christian to slumber would mean they’re not conscious of how far they’ve strayed from God. This would prevent Christians from confessing sins and repenting in time before their death or God's church rapture. Have you ever noticed how you can be focused on other tasks without distraction, but are easily distracted when doing the things of God? This is a witchcraft attack! This is proof of the presence of demons and witches in your vicinity. When you engage in bible study, prayer, church attendance, and listening to preaching, pay attention to your physical and emotional condition. Do you start getting sleepy, easily distracted, headaches, unusual emotional shifts, upset stomach, breathing problems, mysterious pains, random coughing, and are easily offended? You are being spiritually attacked with witchcraft! Don’t think your phone constantly ringing at the same exact time you spend with God is a coincidence. You must be able to discern these attacks and neutralize them with the word of God and prayer on the spot. These demonic attacks can hinder breakthroughs. Breakthroughs are not necessarily a specific amount of time, but a moment of enlightenment and surrender. Satanic forces understand this and seek to ruin Christians' moments in prayer, sermon listening, and bible reading, to prevent deliverance manifestation. Verses 47-51, describe the event of Jesus being betrayed by Judas, accompanied by Jewish religious leaders, and captains coming to arrest him. I believe if Jesus had not prayed, he wouldn’t have handled this situation as God wanted him to. He would’ve reacted carnally instead of spiritually. Peter was the disciple who cut off the soldier's ear. He was also one of the disciples whom Jesus found sleeping in the night hour, instead of praying. If Peter had been praying like Jesus commanded, he would’ve been more spiritually in tune and wouldn’t have reacted so carnally. This can also be part of the reason Peter denied Jesus 3 times after this event, according to Matthew 26:34. When Christians go prayerless, it causes them to make bad decisions due to carnality. Mark 14:50-52 states, “50 And they all forsook him, and fled. 51 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: 52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.”  After Jesus was arrested, all 11 remaining disciples fled, including Peter, James, and John, whom were taken farther in the garden with Jesus for prayer. They abandoned Him in fear despite their earlier promises to stay loyal. This lets us know, without preparation in prayer and bible study, Christians can be forced to retreat from the battlefield. Just like Peter, James, and John, if God calls you to a higher purpose, it will require more serious preparation in prayer. Why? Because those who have higher callings will be attacked at a higher level. If the higher called Christians aren’t prayerful, they will be forced to retreat throughout their lives.  This could ultimately cause them to lose their lives prematurely as well. They are walking targets for Satan’s kingdom!!! Notice in Mark 14:52, one man lost his clothing while fleeing for his life. Prayerlessness will cause Satan to naked God's people, leaving them running for their lives out of fear. The only Christians who fear Satan’s kingdom are those whom are prayerless and not living a holy life. Unfortunately, I have had dreams of seeing myself running naked inside a satanic Walmart in dreams. Please refer back to the dream activities section if you need clarity. Through witchcraft, satanic forces can naked prayerless Christians of spiritual authority and power if they remain prayerless. In verses 52-53, when the Jewish religious leaders, and captains came to arrest him they had sword, but in the temple, they stretched not their hands to harm him. This is very significant. What was Jesus really saying here? Satan's kingdom will play their role in the lives of ignorant Christians, appearing to be one of them, while planning their downfall. This is the device of familiarity. Through familiarity, a person will forget how dangerous a situation is due to them dealing with it every day. Familiarity doesn’t take away danger but causes one to become numb to its reality. This causes victims to drop their guard and not take the enemy as seriously as they should. Jesus had to deal with these evil leaders all the time and became accompanied to their accusations. Not one time did Jesus drop his guard dealing with them. Familiarity leads to complacency, which leads to toying with the enemy. Reader, don’t toy with your enemy; that’s what they want you to do. Take them seriously at all times!!! No matter how playful and relatable the serpent may seem, it's still a serpent at the end of the day. A serpent will strike when opportunity presents itself. Playing around with the enemy will cause your spiritual hedge to become broken. Don’t play victim when the serpent comes to punish you for your ignorance. At times, your enemy can be your greatest teacher. The serpent that deceived with familiarity and relatability, will now come in the night hour with swords!!! Like Jesus told the Jewish leaders, this is your hour, regarding the power of darkness. How seriously you take your enemy during the day will determine your outcome at night in battle. Remember, when it comes to dream attacks, Satan’s kingdom seeks to gain leverage during the day, to have the upper hand at night in your dreams. Don’t fall for this evil tactic!!! I have suffered numerous dream attacks and defeats because of this ignorance. I woke up mad, defeated, robbed, and ashamed.
