I’m learning to pray more and worry less. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. I can’t emphasize how the movie “War Room” helped my spiritual life. Spiritual warfares almost killed me, but the God above stepped in and saved me. I can recall the first encounter that I had with a spiritual warfare; I was a young girl and I had this terrible dream, in the dream Satan was standing in my grandfathers garden he said he was there to kill me, my grandmother appeared out of nowhere and told Satan he couldn’t have me and stepped in front of me to take the fiery dart he had prepared for me. The dream seemed so real! When I awoke I told my grandmother the dream, at that moment she left the room and returned with a bible and fork, she turned to the 23 Psalms and put the bible under my pillow and put the fork under my bed she said this would keep evil spirits away.
Ephesians 6:18
8 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints
I never had another encounter while my grandmother was alive, but once she passed away I started having them again. I was afraid to tell anyone because they would probably think I was crazy, but the dreams became more and more realistic. I put the “Bible” back under my pillow and the fork back under my bed, but nothing stopped the dreams or the visions. I attended church every Sunday, but I was afraid to close my eyes at night scared of what dreams I might have. I was just going to church and didn’t know the true meaning of serving God, nor trusting God!
James 4:7
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
One Saturday evening I decided to watch “War Room” of course the movie had been out for years but I had never seen it. This movie touched me, my problem was I wasn’t fighting those spiritual warfares correctly because I didn’t know how to pray. You see my grandmother had prayed for me, but I had to learn to pray for myself.
Fast forward to 2018 I began to keep a journal and not only pray for myself, but others as well. My grandmother has been gone for over 30 years and even though the terrifying dreams faded they never went a way. I will admit I still have dreams of fighting against principalities, but even though she is not here to pray for me I am not fearful because I can fall on my knees and pray to God for myself.
Ephesians 6:12
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.
My prayer journal has truly helped me to overcome and my prayer wall has truly helped me to seek the Lord more! I know that as long as I live for God, Satan will be after me, but the battle is not mines but the Lord. I am suited up now, having on the whole armor.
Ephesians 6:13-18
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
