To refresh your memory, a pattern and cycle of repeat in spiritual warfare is when one of Satan’s tricks works on you and so he waits awhile until you have recovered and all of a sudden slams you with the same thing. His hope here is to make you think God let it happen to you and so you give up prayer, so severing your relationship with Him and His Holy Spirit, and then you literally go to Hell. FACTS.

Luckily for me, I recognized that he was trying the same shit he tried with me a few years ago, and I’ve learned a ton of stuff about the spirit realm since then too, specifically to fight him and his demons. I also double-checked with someone that’s a trusted spiritual warfare teacher and evangelist, and he confirmed what was up.

The specific spirit here (or the highest ranking one, anyway) was Leviathan. He has been trying to force me to leave my job so that I am unable to support myself. To the devil, this would serve two purposes. I would say fuck it and give in to living with someone else for convenience, which would make me miserable and possibly also disrupt my Godly house if they didn’t live right, leaving open doors for him to gain legal grounds to send more attacks. It would also make me unable to finance the Bible project I do and the Resurrection Sunday project I do, both of which further the Kingdom of God, and both of which piss him off tremendously (I know this because often times of late whenever a Bible gets left where I am led to leave it I have to fend off some shit he sends my way).

So anyway, I knew the light at the end of the tunnel was near when the other week I was having prayer on the way to work and I got told “All will be well by next week”. Then that same day, my phone got stolen, and I suspect trashed, by the person that’s been being used by Satan to try and get me out of my job for the past six months or so. The stolen phone was to try and make me doubt God’s voice that the end was near, obviously. And to make me lose my cool so that the coming blessing (aka win) would be blocked. So I kept this in mind and it kept me in a super good mood all day long, despite the bullshit. Because an impulsive move out of emotion on my part would have allowed the attack to continue rather than come to the promised end…..

All through that week God made good things happen. I guess you could call it mini-breakthroughs leading up to the big one that just happened. A bunch of times Satan tried to counter it with an attack, including one to make me lose hours, but God worked that in my favor as well. It actually ended up catapulting me right to the end of that dark tunnel and back into the light on the other side by the time another week had passed.

That was two days ago. I walked in and people who have been keeping their distance for no reason whatsoever were suddenly somehow downright fucking friendly! And also the big breakthrough came that day…..the other two who have been treating me like total shit since July softened. One was sitting in my area when I got there and he normally books it away from me as fast as he can the minute I arrive, if not before. The other, who always works over there, humbled himself to speak to me and seemed shocked when I didn’t treat him as he had been treating me. And, I just heard a few hours ago that he told one of the other guys that he’s been professional and worked things out with me and we are fine to work together now. I am left speechless, but at the same time I can describe in great detail the why’s and how’s of it all to anyone who wants to know…..

It’s impossible to describe how it feels to have finally beaten that battle. Not just this recent one, but the whole pattern and cycle that has been playing out at increasing levels of intensity, over and over again, worse and worse, for years and years. I believe it’s finally time to write Dynamite Deliverance, as I am completely sure that the trauma and rejection spirits have also been beaten, due to other breakthroughs that aren’t related to this. I won’t write them here, ‘cuz they have their own story…..

In the midst of it all, here are some tips I’ve learned that help make it possible to win these spiritual wars:

•Having another spirit-filled Christian who is in on the battle and praying in agreement with you makes a hell of a positive difference compared to fighting alone or even praying with someone who’s only on the outside looking in.

•Not giving people what they deserve is the only way for God and his angels to be able to fight for you, per spiritual law. And without them able to do their part, you cannot win. You will see them get their due, just not in your time and not from you.

•Reminding yourself that this is Ephesians 6:12 at work makes it much easier to keep your temper with these people, and to pray your way through to the other side too.

•Be careful who you trust, the root of the problem may take awhile to unveil itself – and it just may be the last person you would have suspected.

•When the ones being used by the evil one finally believe the truth, some will come back around and others will not. Use discernment with those who do, most likely only a few will be worth letting back in. Most aren’t tough enough to be in your circle. Don’t chase those who don’t, they aren’t made of the right stuff to walk beside you.

•There’s always a silver lining. Find it.

•It’s important to apply Psalm 35, Psalm 91, Isaiah 54:17, and the Blood of Jesus to your life daily.
