[mariann]

Please pray for my little friend who decided to give her life to God and is receiving the lessons now. She made her decision on last Sabbath and after that she had the whole week terrible headaches and her classmates were suddenly very cruel to her. She was so unhappy! We prayed for her and God made many miracles, but my wish here is that she would be strong and stay with our Father even when times are rough.

Thank you =)

Mariann, I really dislike giving the Devil too much credit, yet it appears he is working overtime on this young lady.

Will be praying.

Mariann -

I have a friend who was trained in the illuminati traditions, and when my husband began to contemplate giving his life to Abba Father, he was struck with debilitating headaches...

I mentioned this to my friend as she is a prayer partner with me on his behalf, and she told me that witchcraft attacks from the powers of darkness manifest many times in the physical as headaches.

The only defense is prayer, and the putting on of the helmet of salvation. If you pray the armor of Abba on your friend as it is found in Ephesians 6, the helmet of salvation not only protects against headaches like this, but also protects our minds from the lies of satan.

The Bible speaks truth when it says, "My people perish for lack of knowledge". Help your friend... pray the Armor of Abba upon her daily. You will be amazed at the miracles that begin to occur in her life. As a baby believer, she may not be able to do this for herself yet... Stand in the gap for her.... and pray a hedge of protection around her guarded by Abba's mighty warrior angels. Claim Luke 10:19 on her behalf... and forbid the powers of darkness to work in her life according to your authority in Jesus name.

And if you choose to stand in the gap for her, don't forget to bind a hedge of protection around you, your family, and your home... because standing in the gap for someone else, always stirs up satanic attacks against the one standing there in Jesus Name.

Thank you Clio. Ephesians 6, 10-20 are one of my favourite psalms in the Bible. Pretty encouraging is also Psalm 121 - this girl has birthday tomorrow and I'm planning to write this Psalm on her birtday card while she doesn't know this psalm yet. Please pray for her family too 'cause they are really angry at her and doesn't like at all those biblical truths she has taken into her life. She spends lot of time in my home now, because only people she can trust is from our church.

[Clio]

Mariann -

This alarms me on your behalf. For her family to be so angry about biblical truth in her life, something is going on in the spiritual realm in that family.

Please, please remember to daily pray a hedge of protection and the armor of Abba on yourself, your family and your home. As well as on your friend. I cannot stress enough how active a role the powers of darkness take when one they deem "theirs" begins to break free of the chains of darkness holding them captive.

My friend and I stand in covenant agreement in spiritual battle until none are lost or captive. This includes your friend. Please let me know her name and we will include her in our prayers.

To have a physical manifestation of witchcraft attacks especially directly tied with giving her life to Jesus, indicates generational curses or generational bondage to the adversary. If possible, pick up the little book Blessings and Curses by Derek Prince.

It will help you in this fight. Standing in the gap for her, sword drawn and shield up is the best thing you can do for her... and educating yourself on the principles of spiritual battle.

Be calm Clio. I trust my God 100%. If I ask Him for strength He gives it. If I ask Him to protect me - He protects. And if I'm going hand in hand with Father every moment then nothing can't happen that He wouldn't know.

I'll send her name via private message, ok?

Blessings and curses is not in estonian, but do you know is it freely available somewhere in the Internet?

=)

[Clio]

Oh I am calm Mariann. But there is a huge burden on my heart for you. I have walked this path, and can tell you from personal experience, that we as SDA's are sorely lacking in the teachings of just how involved the adversaries forces become when we set ourselves against him and for Jesus...

It is only through Abba Father and His great and wonderful provision for us that victory is ours. Jesus has won the battle and the war. But unlike our beloved Jesus who is True, Just, Wonderful and our Saviour, the adversary's side cheats.

Blessings and Curses is not available free on the internet. But it is a small book. Surely it is not prohibitively expensive. I would imagine less than $8. Mine was given to me, or I would know...

My husband laughed at me, and urged me to be calm as well, saying he had no need of armor because Jesus fights for him... And God would give him strength whenever he asked. I know you do not know me, and I know it sounds melodramatic, but I tell you with truth before Abba, knowing He will see and hear these words....

A curse placed on my husband's family in 1569 nearly killed him in January of this year. Only Abba, and His mercy, and sowing prayer into my husband's salvation for many years has kept him alive. In the process of repentance, revoking the curse, and replacing it with Abba's Holy blessing Abba did teach me the importance He places on blessings and curses.

You say your friend began having debilitating headaches right after she began studying and dedicating her life to Abba Father and Jesus. There is a direct correlation there. And I know from personal experience when you see that kind of direct correlation, there is an active witchcraft attack either in the form of an existing curse or soulish prayers.

After a week long intercession for my husband, including fasting and seeking Abba's face for an entire 24 hour period, doing nothing else, we prayed to revoke the curse, to dissolve all effects with true Jesus Blood, and for healing.

Immediately thereafter, I was shaken with doubt, because this was soooo "out there" from everything I had been taught as an SDA growing up. And I prayed again, laying a fleece before Abba. I asked Him, that if this teaching be from Him, the proof would be in the healing of my husband.

My husband had been diagnosed with diabetes, chronic coronary disease, high blood pressure, emphysema, chronic pancreatitis, angina, adrenal masses, pericardial effusion and kidney lesions.

By February 1 his bald spot was filling in, by February 15th his diabetes was completely under control with diet alone, no more meds, his blood pressure was normal, also without meds, the fluid around his heart that was causing heart failure had dissipated, the fluid in his lungs had vanished, and his cholesterol and lipids were normal.

By April 1, we were able to be intimate for the first time in almost two years due to his health issues.

My husband continues to astound the physicians who are caring for him... because they couldn't really find a reason for all that went "wrong" for two years, nor can they find a reason for all that is suddenly going right.

I know first hand the adversary is sneaky, underhanded, and a cheater. Take the time to protect yourself and your loved ones daily. There is no doubt in my mind that your friend is laboring under an active curse.

Clio you sound like a real prayer warrior. I've been dealing with stuff all my life I'd like freedom from and/but, long story short, I'm not, and because I'm not, I feel my own efforts to pray are too feeble and tainted. I find praying very difficult. Would you be willing to pray for me as well? I was with Satan for over 15 years and I struggle with mental health issues and right now I'm having excruciating back pain and I'm out of work, unemployed for a year. Thanks.

Nico

p.s. I can send you my real name if it matters, via email.

[Clio]

Dear Nico -

Real names do matter. And I would be glad to correspond with you offline. I am.... working with someone who is being healed by Jesus of many of the same issues I'm sure you face.

If you would like to share more, please email me. I will be glad to pray with and for you.

If you are serious about breaking down the strongholds in your life and making room for all that Abba Father wants to give you, and the healing Jesus wants to place within you, I will help you with the Holy Spirit's guidance.

It is never easy to heal from the trauma inflicted on a DID MC survivor.

Clio,

God's timing is something 2 behold. I've been studying spiritual warfare armor, i.e.: belt of TRUTH; breastplate of righteousness; shield of FAITH; readiness to proclaim the Gospel, shoes; helmet of SALVATION; and, SPIRIT-SWORD, Word of God. I've heard preachers like Joyce Meyer and Charles Stanley talk about putting on the armor-of-God; so, I thought I'd learn them by heart! U give good advice!!!

[Clio]

Hi Bonnie! Aren't those teachers awesome on this subject? I did a study on Abba's armor some time back, when I first really began praying it... it's had the most amazing effect on our home. I can tell which day's I've skipped having that in my prayer time.

I guess I should explain that... sometimes... other considerations, such as daily requests, issues I'm struggling with, or health concerns are weighing so heavy on my mind that I focus on that instead of on the armor first.... and boy can I sure tell.

Although, Abba is good, and I believe the seeds I've earlier sown do bear fruit on those days, and much of the awful consequences are mitigated.

Perhaps a post on Abba's Armor would be a good discussion starter in the Free-for-All forum?

[mariann]

Clio - another one.. Actually.. it's not so funny at the moment. Please pray that everything could be ok. I have total mess in my life right now - related with school and work and church - everywhere something/somebody wants from me and I wanna also myself study well and pass my exams, make money for living, help people from church and outside and to do good work for God. But... it's too much for the moment. There's little I want - that the coming week could be ....... something that only God can do.

Thank you.

[Clio]

I will do so Mariann... He is an awesome Abba, and knows your needs before you even ask.

I would ask you this though.... is there perhaps something you should say "No" to? Sometimes the busyness of our lives keeps us from soaking in His presence.

I know you have committments now, but what I am impressed to say to you, is this.

Try getting up 30 minutes earlier than usual this week. Read one Psalm... and spend the rest of the thirty minutes in prayer.... Just say whatever pours out of your mouth and heart... and then spend 5 minutes in silence just listening.

And for what it's worth... this has never been my personal pattern... so you'll have to let me know how it works out! LOL!

Clio

[mariann]

Hey. Thank ya all for your prayers.

God had answered even more miraculously than any one could expect. Everything is SOO well in my and my little friend's lives and with my family and friends. I'm really thankful. Today I got two very important answers to my prayers that I had been waiting for a long time - and there was more I asked.

What a wonderful Father we Have, isn't it?

- that's me.

Have a nice Sabbath!

[Clio]

That's awesome Marianne!!!

Thank You Jesus! I'm taking you off the "urgent list!"
