Nipped In The Bud

Jeremiah 33:3, King James Version

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Mark 9:14-29, King James Version

14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.

15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?

17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.

19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.

23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?

29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

Mark 9:14-29, Amplified Bible

All Things Possible

14 When they came [back] to the [other nine] disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes questioning and arguing with them. 15 Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Jesus, they were startled and began running up to greet Him. 16 He asked them, “What are you discussing with them?”17 One of the crowd replied to Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him unable to speak; 18 and whenever it seizes him [intending to do harm], it throws him down, and he foams [at the mouth], and grinds his teeth and becomes stiff. I told Your disciples to drive it out, and they could not do it.” 19 He replied, “O unbelieving (faithless) generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!” 20 They brought the boy to Him. When the [demonic] spirit saw Him, immediately it threw the boy into a convulsion, and falling to the ground he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth21 Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he answered, “Since childhood. 22 The demon has often thrown him both into fire and into water, intending to kill him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!” 23 Jesus said to him, “[You say to Me,] ‘If You can?’ All things are possible for the one who believes and trusts [in Me]!” 24 Immediately the father of the boy cried out [with a desperate, piercing cry], saying, “I do believe; help [me overcome] my unbelief.” 25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering [around them], He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again!” 26 After screaming out and throwing him into a terrible convulsion, it came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse [so still and pale] that many [of the spectators] said, “He is dead!” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him; and he stood up. 28 When He had gone indoors, His disciples began asking Him privately, “Why were we unable to drive it out?” 29 He replied to them, “This kind [of unclean spirit] cannot come out by anything but prayer [to the Father].”

This ‘God Moment’ I had yesterday is too good not to share…..

So recently I’ve had the chains that Leviathan had on me break fully, and Rejection and Trauma spirits got kicked to the curb as well. It’s been a few weeks now. (Read about that in the recent article ‘Well, That Pattern And Cycle Of Repeat Is Broken, In Jesus’ Name!’)

It’s GREAT. I haven’t yet figured out how to describe what it feels like to live in the miracle you’ve been praying for though. I can, however, confirm it comes with the supernatural energy and happiness called ‘The Joy Of The Lord’.

I think the best part is the rejection spirit being gone. It’s nice having people not run away from you. Unfortunately Satan can see that it brings happiness and is pretty pissed…..

So, what does he do? Tries to send a different spirit to make people be turned off from being around me. One that’s trying to make me seem unappealing and literally stupid…..

Yes, that sounds completely unbelievable. I know. But I assure you it’s one-hundred-percent truth. Luckily though I’m on it and it’s on the way to being in the past…..

Here’s what’s been happening. Now that the spirit of rejection cannot undo new friendships, Satan is trying something else. I noticed with one particular person that twice now I will kind of black out when I’m having a conversation with them. Not the whole conversation, of course. But once was when I was asked about my tattoos and it led to me explaining that my knuckles mean 2 Corinthians 4:18. The person (not familiar with the Bible) went to look it up and was then talking to me about it, and as Satan was mad that the person was interested in that he caused me to black out. Literally, something took over and my head was not there for a moment. I couldn’t see, I think the person was still talking to me but I’m not sure what they said. It took someone else in the room calling my name to get me out of it.

A few weeks go by, and I was making sure that same person was able to contact me outside of the normal meeting place if needed. I was in a hurry and just asked for some paper and a pen to scribble my number on. Now, I remember taking the pen and paper handed to me, and starting to write the number. I remember the person saying something lighthearted to the other person in the room, and I remember apologizing because I had just had a big coffee on a mostly empty stomach and my hand was a little shaky and I hoped my writing wasn’t too terrible. Then, nothing. I wrote the first three numbers, wrote the second three, and then…..the spirit tried to take over again and make me black out. It only kind of took over, maybe it couldn’t all the way because I had prayed over the friendship and that this conversation would go smoothly on the way there. I remember the Holy Spirit being able to tell me “go to the next line” (I was writing the first three numbers on one line, the next three on the next line, and the last four were to go on a third line). I remember my vision being blurry as fuck, and I’m not sure if the last two numbers were legible or what. I know somehow the person got the paper, but I am not sure if they took it up pro handed it over. I do remember them saying “ok, we’ll be in touch”. So maybe it was readable? Now I’m questioning if that spirit made me write the wrong number, or if my mind was clear enough to give the correct one. Then my head became myself again and I was able to walk to the door and say bye, and for the one person to please say hello to some other people I knew who weren’t there that day. But I have no idea how long I may stood there looking idiotic due to this spirit trying to fight for control over my mind and body, which I presume was to ruin the friendship for me, since his buddy rejection is no longer able to do that job.

So anyway, I prayed about it off and on throughout that day, and before work the next day I took up my Bible and used it like I do sometimes as an ‘8 ball’. And the Holy Spirit specifically told me to use the Amplified Bible. So I took it up and opened it, and was told ‘Yes you need the New Testament but you need to go more to the left’. So I closed it and opened it again, more toward the front of the Bible. I was told ‘Ok, now 14’. So I looked, and right under a title saying ‘All Things Possible’, was verse 14. I read it, and that paragraph was about a deaf and dumb spirit being cast out. And it said the only way it comes out is through prayer, meaning deliverance is not needed in this case as it was for the original rejection spirit. Also, it didn’t get last me that in other translations it says ‘prayer AND FASTING’. Not just prayer. Now I know why the Holy Spirit told me to use this translation. Because this spirit that is trying to make me appear dumb and not worth the time to this other person, will be stopped completely if I keep praying over the situation. Like God telling me He will do it, no fasting required. That’s relevant because it had actually crossed my mind if I was going to have to fast to get it to go away, and I was thinking if it was even worth it because that’s how much I’m not a fasting fan. Looks like I don’t have to worry about it, just keep up the prayers and keep covering the friendship with the Blood Of Jesus.

Oh, and I wanted to mention, it’s been brought to my attention (supernaturally by the Holy Spirit of course) that the confirmation I need that the rejection spirit is gone for good is that never before have the person or persons who left come back. I am now having one in particular, and a few others from the past also, come back around. This has NEVER happened when the spirit of rejection is involved. I’ve also thought of how to make sure the spirt trying to make me look dumb doesn’t have the same effect as rejection did when he was operating in my life: I plan to do two things. One, look directly at the person speaking to me, which I for some reason don’t always look people in the face when I talk. I never have. That was brought mind, and I believe it’s for a reason. I will also take the bull by the horns and be like “Hey, I have to tell u something”, and tell the person what’s going on so they are aware and know what’s going on in case it happens again.

Remember, I said in my article about Leviathan being beaten that I heard a word that ‘All will be well by next week’. And since then, all has been well. Breakthroughs are one after another like dominoes. I am speaking life into this situation and declaring that ALL WILL STAY WELL, IN JESUS’ NAME!
