Hi guys,

I've been going down a road for a while which I dislike being in, the main problem is my past keeps creeping up on me, in the strangest ways. I've asked for forgiveness so many times, I've repented and stopped with those sins.

It's hard to explain. I don't know why God would allow these thoughts and events to happen to me, I bet He has a good reason for it, I just don't know it.

I'd appreciate prayer for my Christian life, that I truly will live according to my chosen name and be a Faithful son.

Thank you
God bless
Much love
Faithful Son
 
You're in my prayers, brother. God Bless you

Psalms 31:23-24
23 "O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD." KJV
 
Heavenly Father, I come to you in prayer.

Lord you know my brother's heart and and mind,
you know he desire nothing more than to serve you.
Lord I ask that you renew his mind, create in him a clean heart,
help him to silent the lies the enemy has filled him with.
For there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
The Devil is a liar and a deceiver, my brother has the victory,
been through the storm, Father you kept him,
you forgave him and made him a new man. Bring peace to my brother, help him to believe in your promises.

We all have sinned and fall short, no one can say they are righteous, but we who believe in the blood of Jesus Christ is free from death and sin. Help my brother to live in this freedom.
Freedom to worship you with a sound mind, freedom to pray and not feel weary, freedom to come into your presence and bow before you as an offering.

Lord open his eyes, close his ears. let him see your glory, silent those deceiving spirits.
I love my brother, and I know you hold him in your arms.
Bless him Lord

Amen

Father You forgive us when we confess and repent and You remember them no more. You are the healer from the past and when satan reminds my brother fs of his past may he remember to remind him of his future. I pray that You will help him to keep his focus on You and the things You tell us to fix our eyes on. May he take every wrong thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. I pray that his roots will go down deep in You and that he really will live up to his name that You gave him in Jesus' name amen.
 
Thank you so much for your prayers and support. I don't believe I am worthy of receiving them though.

Tonight, I went out with my family to a local bar. I've been drinking alcohol for the past month or two, sometimes exessively and sometimes not.

Tonight, my brother's girlfriend was in a fighting mood, she had a problem with anyone looking at her, especially woman. There was a first fight with words and I wasn't involved, but that was the catalyst.

We went to play pool and we were talking, my brother had left and we stayed there with my other family members, including my brother's girlfriend. I did have some drinks, but I didn't feel drunk in any way.

Some young kids my age or a bit younger were looking at her and cracking jokes, but subtly, she took offence and as we walked out she confronted them. She went to the one girl and told her that if she has something to say she should say it to her in her face, the girl started shouting, my brother's girlfriend started shouting too. She went to one of the male friends (brother's girlfriend) and showed him that she didn't do what this girl was doing.

The guy took his hand, pushed it against my brother's girlfriend's chest and pushed her away, I lost it and I gave him two huge smacks in the face, which left him bleading. The woman who was cracking the jokes flipped and started attacking me, I pushed her away with force.

To make a long story short, this happened about an hour ago, I'm at home now and I'm lost for words or feelings.

Sister rizen1, you say they are evil spirits, filling my mind, but why does God allow them there? I heard it softly in my head the whole evening "nothing bad will happen", well something bad did happen, my lip is cracked from the inside and I've got a nail scratch on my face, not to mention the humiliation.

Please tell me how to make these spirits go away, they profess that Jesus came in the flesh but they are filled with lies and deceit, I'm tired.
 
Hi Brother Faithful Son, it saddens me to read this. You can receive the direct answer or one wrapped up with frills on. But me, I am more of a person to give direct answers and help, then to wrap it up with pretty bows and ribbons, but saying that, I do say this with love.

You need to spend more time in prayer, ask and speak to God so that you can walk in His power. It's there for you. No-one can overcome sinful ways, without walking in His power. You have been given the gift of the holy spirit and now it's time to manifest the power of that gift, which is also available to you and any other Christian. You need to go to prayer and spend time talking to our Father, so that you can walk in that power and just keep asking, until He gives it to you. He will give it you, if you ask, I can promise you that. Jesus said so in scripture.

Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

That power is for you to identify and discern the spiritual realm, and rebuke any unclean spirits, in Jesus' name.

Luk 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Secondly, I know you want to change, so you need to say that to God in prayer too. Everyday in prayer, tell Him you want to be more like His son (I mean Jesus), you want to walk like His son, and talk like His son.

Now, we all get frustrated with all these evil unclean spirits, but it's the Spirit of God, which can only get rid of them. You are not possessed with any of these unclean spirits, so don't think you are. You are just listening to them, instead of listening to the Spirit of God, the key it to listen to the Spirit of God and not the other spirits. It difficult I know, but you need to persevere and fight.

I have just spent two days, going to our Father, asking Him to help me with a voice that wants me to curse God. It's been so real, it seems as if I am saying it, it has upset me, it has hurt me, I have got frightened over it, and it has really messed me up. But God is far greater and will see us through, so that we won't be tempted too far.

1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Just remember, when Jesus received the holy spirit, he too was led by the spirit and went straight into the wilderness and was tempted by the devil for a season.

Mat 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

So this too, is going to happen to you, I and every other Christian. We are not immune. But, God has given us a more powerful spirit and we need to learn how to use that power. Also the spirit of the sword is the Word of God, so fight back with scriptures too.

So when situations (the wilderness) like this come up, like what happened to you last night, and I know you feel you were protecting your brothers girlfriend, but when that anger rises or temptation arises, you need to speak to God immediately and ask Him to help you in His power.

If you are out, like you were, go to the men’s room and pray, and ask God how you should deal with it. Just get up from the table and excuse yourself.

I am going to pray to our Father for you, so that you can walk in His power.

God bless you and take care. :love:

My brother, the battle is the mind. The thought comes first then the action, then that action becomes a habit and we get entangled.

Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

God has given us a more powerful spirit and we need to learn how to use that power. Also the spirit of the sword is the Word of God, so fight back with scriptures too.

Using scripture and knowing who you are in Christ, is the only way for victory. There will always be that spirit of confusion that will want to rise up. You already know the answers now profess it. Let the word come alive in your heart.

Remember when Jesus was tempted he quoted scripture. He said it is written. He answered the devil with scripture.

You need to get back up again, no time for pity parties or wondering why.
You have the victory and you know the truth, now apply it. You have ministered to me on many occasions, I know you are a child of God, dont ever second guess yourself.

Confess, Repent and get back up again, yesterday has gone.

I love you :love:

Dearest brother

You know how much I love but Jesus loves you more. I have heard this song by Casting Crowns but just found the video and it speaks more and has more impact by watching this video while hearing the song. I pray it helps you to be free too.

Remember also to use Phil.4.8 and also to take every thought captive as we are told to do.

God bless
