Scriptures:
"See,
it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a
weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the waster to wreak havoc
(Isaiah 54:16)
The
LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob like the splendor of Israel, though
destroyers have laid them waste and have ruined their vines (Nahum 2:2).
And
they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of
their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.
12 For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the
earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath,
knowing that he has only a short time (Revelation 12:11-12).
Ever been
in a situation that left you stunned? Dazed? Completely at a loss?
All you
could do, when it was all said and done, was scratch your head, just sit back
and wonder, “What in the world happened?”
Picture
this: everything was perfect. You’ve
been working on that project at work for the last year.
You’ve
dotted every single “I” and crossed all of your “T”s. You’ve stroked every single ego, of every
single person, with letters behind their name (CEO, CFO, COO, etc.). You’ve gotten so much positive feedback, you
began to think of the project as your firstborn son. Your peers envied your success. Even the heads of other departments started
using you, as an example, for others on their teams to follow. Wow, things were going so well! It’s a good thing,
too, since one of the partners just announced their retirement. Thank You, Jesus! You’re just in time to slide right in, as the
youngest employee to have made partner, in your marketing and public relations firm. Jesus Himself personally gave you a vision of it in a dream once—you were going
to run that firm one day and you would do it for Christ. No longer would the marketing, public relations, and/or advertising industries sell raunchy filth to make a buck. Oh, no!
Jesus was going to be at the Head of your new company! Truth be told, after all that struggle, you’d
had some trouble believing, after a while, that you did receive those promises
from God, but finally, it was all beginning to manifest. You were not bonkers, after all. God gave you that dream, and you finally knew
the truth. It was a prophetic dream that was sent to confirm the promises and
purposes of God for your life.
In fact, you’ve
just had lunch with Marketing Director a few days ago, and he was not only
hinting that you were soon to join their little clique of successful people,
but that everyone was actually
interested in what you had to say
about the future of the company. You knew
the promotion was in the bag because in the last year alone, you personally
brought in over ten million dollars of revenue, through elite clientele that
you secured--from the Christian community, no less! You were able to generate business and God used you to bring glory to His Name, while helping others in His Kingdom! Yes, you were sure to get
that promotion to partner. The Lord’s
favor was surely upon you! In fact, everyone was sure you would be
promoted. Months have passed by, and no one else
seemed be a true contender. Yeah, there
is that guy Jack, whose last major account brought in only about one million dollars—but that was two years prior. You figured they added Jack in the running to
avoid gossip about you being a shoe-in.
After all, Jack was the only other man with your level of
seniority. Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have been added as a
consideration.
Everyone knew the job was
yours!
Only thing
though….hmmm….what was happening? You've been pretty much promised a promotion but...hmmmm...where was it? All of a sudden, there seem to be whispers around you when you walk into the office. No more word from the partners. Have they even made a decision? You thought you would have heard something by now, considering the other partner's last day was at the end of the week.
But then, you walked
in to work one day, just to discover that the job, in fact, was not yours!
Jack…jack? Jack got the
promotion! What? Jack?
No! Impossible!
Your eyes
filled with tears. You stormed into a
meeting between the bigwigs and asked for your director. He explained that the team gave it some
careful consideration, but decided to go with Jack.
“But why?”
you barked.
And to this
day, no one can guess “but why” Jack.
And people are still talking about it--especially since Jack is doing a half-behind job!
"But why Jack???"
Sound
familiar? Ever just had something snatched
right out of your hand that you—and everyone else—knew was right for you? Or belonged to you? Or had been justly
earned by you?
People
often say, “Well, if it did not happen, it was not meant to be.” Or my personal favorite response, "You heard wrong in your spirit. It must not have been God's will!"
Sadly, my
friends, that is not always true.
I dare say that most times it was meant to be. God said that when we ask for bread, He will never give us a stone (Matthew 7:9). When you belong to God, the Holy Spirit is reshaping our desires daily anyway. The Spirit leads us to pray for what we need, even makes intercession for us (Romans 8:26). If He does not fulfill our desire--it is only because He will do exceedingly and abundantly above what we think to ask for" (Ephesians 3:20). He will never, ever do less--either that thing we prayed for or better! Is is God's will to be glorified in answered prayers, because Jesus said, "Whatsoever you ask in My Name, that I will do, because it will bring glory to the Father's Name in the Son" (John 14:13). Jesus said, "whatsoever" we ask, "that" will He do!" So it was God's will!!! Besides, you made sure to ask, if it is not His will to remove the desire in the first place. If you still desired it, God wanted it for you too! But
there is a devil, who is a thief. He
walks around, like a roaring lion. His
mission? To steal, kill, and
destroy. How do I know that?
Cause the
Bible says so in John 10:10!
Not only
does Satan, and his cohorts, steal, kill, and destroy. Isaiah 54:16 says that he does something
else—he wastes the blessings,
provisions, and opportunities God prepares for us. He does it so much so that he can even waste
an entire destiny if we are not
sober-minded and alert, remaining hip to his schemes!
What in the World is
the Waster Spirit?
It wasn’t
until I began to examine my own life and certain things God was leading me to
pray against that I realized that something was off. After a series of events in 2014, the Lord
led me to begin praying on restoration on all that had been stolen, devoured,
or wasted in my life. He led me one day
to Proverbs 6:31 and impressed upon me to speak this scripture against the
enemy’s attacks on my “goods.” The
scripture says, “But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he
stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house.”
Wow. First of all, if “who” is caught? And who is going to pay back what he stole
sevenfold?
When I came
to the Lord about it, that is when the Lord began to reveal some secret and
hidden things (Jeremiah 33:3) about the spiritual battles I was engaged within
over my life. He began to teach me to
fight against a demonic force called the Waster.
I won’t get
too deep into how this force came to settle into my life. Just know I am from the Caribbean. My mother’s side is Haitian, my father is
Indian and Guyanese. Yes, they considered
themselves Christians. But God
considered a lot of their cultural practices witchcraft. Not only that, but I did my own share of
rebelling against the Lord, which did not do anything to add to, or protect, my
God-given resources, blessings, opportunities, or my destiny. Once you, or your ancestors before you, open
the demonic doors—especially with
lifestyles of sin such as witchcraft, or fornication, or adultery, or even
abortion (shedding of innocent blood), a waster demon has full access to your
life! It is not until you are covered by
the Blood of Jesus, after confessing Him your Savior, after repenting for your sins, that the Lord can begin to manifest
the promises of Proverbs 6:31 and rebuke the waster described in Isaiah 54:16. That is when the Lord will begin to "rebuke the devourer for your sakes" (Malachi 3:11).
First let
us learn about what this waster is. That is the first step.
Ways “the
waster “wastes:
It is
written that God Himself created this “waster” as an instrument to destroy—to
waste anything that was not pleasing to God, or under God’s protection—such as
a life in rebellion to His Word. Such demons
were created to waste—lives, talents, gifts, relationships, destinies. Even entire people have been wasted. How
many people have died due to their foolish choices and our first response is to
shake our head and say, “Man, what a waste.”
Well, that is the phrase the “waster” lives for.
How does
the waster do it?
1) Desperation of man:
We all know what happens when man is backed into a corner. He is liable to make desperate choices that
lead to destruction. Even the devil acts
out of desperation as his time wreaking havoc on the earth draws to a
close—Revelation 12:12.
2) If you allow yourself to engage in
long-term sins:
Fornication, theft, adultery, etc, you are allowing God’s perfect will to be
wasted. Of course, the waster will do
it.
3) Agents of darkness that live among
us to destroy us: False
prophets, witches/warlocks, satanists, and preachers who don’t preach against spiritual warfare/deliverance are
human agents of Satan designed to lead us astray and waste our Christian lives and Holy Spirit-power promised to us.
4) Retaliation: When you are pursuing God’s will, and
your destiny from God, the enemy will send retaliation against you to “waste”
your blessings, potential, opportunities, resources, helpers, promotions, or
anything that had been designed to be a stepping stool towards your
destiny. It is often through witchcraft,
demonic oppression, and demonic distractions—see previous blog entry on the
Spirits of Distraction: Sanballat, Tobiah, and Gesham.
Why is This “Waster”
Issue Worse Than Most?
1) Waste is easier than loss. Loss means it is gone, often beyond your control. It cannot return, but most times, it was not your fault. Waste means it was "spent foolishly," implying that it was preventable. "Waste" tends to continue tormenting you because
you always have a sense that you are not living your own life—you are in the
wrong place at the wrong time, doing the wrong things, with the wrong
people. You are in the wrong career, or
even worst of all—married to the wrong person, bearing the “wrong” children who
have turned against you. On top of all of that, you have to live with the mistakes you made! It can be unbearable--leading to other wastes, like suicide.
2) The purpose of a “wasted life” is to
torment you—to bring you, and your destiny, to desolate places. It is the goal of Satan to turn you away from
God, and faith in His Son, due to the torment that comes from a wasted life.
3) To make something profitless –such
as a hard-earned college degree that does not assist you in getting a good
job. Wasters work to make the profitable
into something worthless; to make the wondrous thing/person useless. Its goal is to render a blessing into
something squandered, or damaged senselessly.
It wants to turn your best into refuse, it wants to consume God’s
blessings to you thoughtlessly—again making a wonderful thing squandered and
rendered useless—like that talent for dance that cannot be used now in your
late forties--after the devil kept you too distracted to pursue dance for the
last twenty-five years.
4) “Good fools waste money, but the
greatest fool wastes time.” Wasting time
is one of the best tools of Satan—procrastination, distraction, idleness,
laziness, tardiness, and foolishness. Best waster
of life and potential is anything that causes you to forfeit useful time on
uselessness.
5)
Major
purpose: Satan knows that if you waste
your life and destiny it would have been better if you had not been born. God warns us against not fulfilling our
destiny. In Psalm 138: (ESV), it says,
“The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures
forever. Do not forsake the work of your
hands.” It also says, "And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns" (Phillipians 1:6). Even God will not abandon His own plans for you. How much more does He expect His child to continue their work for Him--the Most High God! Yes, all who are saved will get to Heaven, but Satan longs to prevent you from hearing “Well
done, My good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:23) from our Lord and Savior, who died just so we can fulfill our
destiny! It says in Phillipians 3:12, "I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me." This indicates that God saves us each for a purpose and we must possess that which He died to give us.
Satan wants to rob us of our
heavenly rewards there, just as badly as he wants to destroy our lives here on
earth.
Five Major Wasters:
1) You can waste your life: You pursue the things you know are bad for you—smoking, bad relationships, gluttony, and each causes you to waste
yourself and your life by causing unnecessary health issues and premature death.
If
someone has a powerful destiny, to be a blessing to the Kingdom of God, the
enemy marks them—to derail their destiny. He will work to get you into the wrong career, or to join the wrong relationships, or to have the wrong habits that
lead to more wrong decisions, that lead to desperation…which causes desperate
decisions to derail your life.
2) The enemy can waste you: People will be on assignment to
speak a curse upon you before you can even get started. Your own parent, mate, or boss can speak a
curse. The enemy will cause your own
tongue to speak curses upon your own life, destiny, or blessings. Witches, Satanists, and Psychics seek after
those to curse for power—they are on assignment from Satan. Be careful what you say, what you let others say, and what you share with others. Sometimes you need to keep your plans to yourself and ask the Lord who you can share your plans with before doing so.
Also, be careful about asking God who to pray with about things--if the Spirit puts that in your heart. We need to see that the person you've asked to pray for you will actually pray for you. Sometimes you ask for someone to agree in prayer and they are not agreeing, either in their hearts or in their verbal prayer. Instead they will ask, on your behalf, for the very thing you don't need, then say the Spirit "led" them to pray that for you. Unless that person is an appointed Prophet, who has received a Word from the Lord that you ought to go the other way, there is no reason for them to refuse to pray for your request--for marriage, a certain job. If God's answer is no, fine. But it is not for them to determine what you should pray to your God about. That is also a waster at work--wasting an opportunity for two Christians to see the power of God manifest into a testimony when two have agreed on something in the prayer realm! And be careful you are not doing the same to the breathen as well. If someone asks for prayer for marriage--then pray for marriage! Again, God will never give a "stone" or "less" He is going to give us all either bread, or better bread then we can ask for. He will either do "that" thing, or "add" to that thing--so you may find yourself praying for your friend to be married--and have beautiful, Godly children. If it is less than the request, that is not of God. If the prayer becomes a power struggle between the prayer partners--that is NOT of God!
3) Your own friends/family
can waste you: Any friend that doesn’t add to your
life—just subtracts from your life—leave them.
Move on or love them from a distance.
Anyone who does not contribute to your relationship with them, leave
them behind, or if impossible, love them from a distance. Especially friends—since they are not your blood family, they are often
used by the enemy because their loyalty is easier to sever without the blood bond
being there. Of course, the blood bond
is getting weaker in these End Times, but theoretically, your blood sister
should be less willing to kill you than your sorority sister in college.
4) The devil himself can waste you: 1 Peter 5:8.
The devil must seek whom he
can devour. He knows he cannot devour everyone,
but there are those who are already predisposed to be devoured—due to family occult history
(like me), generational curses, lifelong sin lifestyles (ex: living with your lover for
thirty years and never married), etc.
Repeated sin lifestyle or cycles— those in unbelief or rebellion; those not
covered by the Blood of Jesus—those not saved.
For the saved, those people who have not yet been delivered from demonic
oppression, even though they are saved, because they have not been taught, or
refuse to believe, they need to engage in spiritual warfare and
deliverance—which is another waste from
the enemy!!! Tons of stubborn Christians
are saved, but remain in bondage, because they refuse to believe the Bible’s words and
trust that deliverance and spiritual warfare and supernatural/revelatory gifts
of the Holy Spirit are not only still in
operation today, but are necessary to survive, especially in these End Times!
5) God can waste you:
God is merciful but He is just.
If you have been anointed or called for a seasonal (temporary) task, or
a life-long work of destiny, and choose to disobey—refusing to fulfill the requirements
of your God-chosen calling—God will waste you. Sodom and Gomorrah, along with
any civilization that became a liability to God’s Kingdom, has been wasted. King Saul was wasted when he disobeyed
God (1 Samuel 15). We know that in the Book of Jonah, the Prophet Jonah was nearly wasted, but God was
merciful with him. If Jonah had not
repented, and been forced to engage in a dry fast inside the fish, he could
have been wasted by the Lord.
Warnings from God of Waster Spirits in Our Lives
(From Dr. D. K. Olukoya , from MFM Ministries)
1) Eating in a dream.
If you are eating, or worse, eating poisonous food. This is a sign of spiritual and/or physical
weaknesses being created within you. If
the food is poisonous in the dream, that is far worse—usually meaning that what
were once blessings are being turned to curses that you are forced to eat.
2) Being filled with overwhelming lust:
I don’t mean you’ve been hanging in there, celibate for 10 years, and
waiting on the Lord for a wife/husband and struggle with your libido. I am talking rebellious sexual sin. Many of us have done it and know the
effects. Sexual sin, primarily
fornication and adultery, are direct sins against God’s temple…God considers
that a sin against Himself, and His dwelling place, so He will see to our
demise Himself. Only complete repentance
can save you. At least when demons
trouble your life, deliverance can be done through the casting out of that demonic
force in the Name of Jesus. When Jesus
troubles you, however, with His judgment?
Humph! There is no escape.
3) Any form of addiction: Even what people consider harmless
like tobacco—because it is not mentioned in the Word of God as a sin—will first waste money and then
health. I know. Nicotine addiction has been a life-long
stronghold in my life, even after I came to Christ. It's been quite the battle for me and for many.
4) Unexplainable hatred from
others/lack of favor/ rejection: It comes from all sorts of
people—even family, even parents. It happens all the time, even when
you haven’t done a thing to deserve it. That
is usually a waster forcing you to live an isolated, lonely life to destroy
your trust in God.
5) Your prayer life is unfulfilling and
inconsistent: Your prayer life is getting
worse—you are beginning to pray less and less, and you get frustrated when
others pray for longer periods of time than you have been praying
(lately). That is a waster spirit sent
to waste your communication with God—or keep your from benefiting from others’
communication with God on your behalf in intercession. You are so busy waiting for your friend’s
prayer to end, that you get frustrated and distracted, and don’t agree in the prayer. The prayer ends up losing its
effectiveness, and you miss a breakthrough that could have come from two or
more agreeing on something you needed
in the first place.
6) Suicidal thoughts: Especially as a Christian, that is
the waster at work.
7) Your body is out of order: If
you find that you, or your body, are conducting yourself in a way that does not
make sense for your age—or manifesting symptoms of old age, for example, the waster
spirit is wasting your youth. Sometimes
that can come from a curse. For example,
I used to enjoy telling people that I’m getting old. One day, after a series of brutal pains in my
neck, back, and legs, I heard a warning from the Spirit to stop joking about getting old.
Apparently I was cursing myself because the Bible tells us that God
wants to renew our youth like the eagles (Isaiah 40:31 and Psalm 103:5). It was against the Word of God to proclaim
getting old! I allowed wastage of my
youth, and it kept manifesting until I repented and began to experience healing
little by little, and had to reverse every curse I’ve spoken against my
youth. I am only 36 for crying out
loud! How am I getting old? The devil is a liar!
8) Supernatural Occurrences in the Physical Realm: You find
movements within/on your body that are unexplainable—stomach fluttering at odd
times, especially during prayer; feeling of bugs crawling on you, etc.
You are not schizophrenic (necessarily)…this could be a physical
manifestation of the waster spirit troubling you and your atmosphere to torment
and waste your peace of mind.
9) Demonic attacks during sleep: Such manifestations such as being
choked, or pressed, or suffocated. Your
only hope in the dream state is to call on Jesus and wake up out of that state. It is possible a waster has been sent to kill
you in the spirit realm, in order to cause your death to manifest here in the
natural realm. It used to happen to me when I served in prayer ministry at Times Square Church. I would lead someone to Christ, and then dream someone choking me, until I was able to say the Name of Jesus and be literally yanked from that dream.
10) Constant, Unexplainable Struggle:
When you find
yourself having to struggle and scale mountains, or fight and bleed, for every
single accomplishment for yourself. For
some reason, it is so much more effortless for others. That is not of God. That is usually a waster throwing
roadblocks in your direction to derail your faith and your efforts. It is designed to get you discouraged. I am not speaking about random things, with
random obstacles, that happen to all people on this earth. I am talking drama at every single job, every
time you enroll in school for your education and degree, every time you tried
something nice for your marriage or family. With every single good plan, that you've brought to Lord in prayer, and feel confident about, you find there is something that ruins it—the
type of issue that doesn’t make sense because it is something that should be
effortless for you.
Other Signs of Waster Spirits:
11) Swimming in a dream
12) Having sex in dreams with incubus
and succubus demons—horrible wasters at work—spirit husbands/wives that delay
or destroy marriages, wasting your destiny to have marriage and family as God
ordained, or to experience a good marriage with the spouse you have.
13) Being pursued in a dream.
14) Seeing dead relatives in dreams, especially
as a Christian. This may also be a sign
of family history of occult practices.
15) You get sick or feel unwell whenever there are big life experiences—not the random once-in-a-while-can’t-help-life
issues, but each time you have something
important or valuable to do, you are incapacitated in some way.
16) Accidents always happening. Big accidents over time, or day-by-day
so-called “clumsiness” that is above-average are the signs of waster spirits in
your atmosphere.
17) Always being accused wrongly—no
matter where you go or what you do.
18) All of your hard work fails to get
you to success.
19) You are always losing money—even
when God does answer prayers. You get a
lump sum of money, but suddenly the car breaks down, then your boiler in the
house, then your mom gets sick! The money you prayed and fasted three months for is now gone, but that was the money to finally get you into school!
20) **Being out of the perfect will
and/or timing of God** This means that you are doing the wrong thing at the right time (for you to get into trouble) or the right thing at the wrong time (for you to get into trouble). Obviously, God’s will is perfect and we need
to be doing the right thing at the right time.
It
is time to ask yourself serious questions to avoid continued wastage:
1)
Do
I know my destiny? If your life is an experiment, after a
certain age, and you have been to school three times, and you’re still trying to find out what you were born to do at 45, then your life is a product of the waster.
2)
If
God has confirmed a vision and…nothing! Time and again, God has actually confirmed His best plan for your life,
and you are not operating there, or at least on your way there—your life is
wasting.
3) You are losing or squandering
available opportunities, privileges, resources, provisions, and help that you keep getting? Self-explanatory.
4)
If
you are blinded:
Frankly, you
know what to do, but cannot get an edge on how
to do it—you are kept from a plan of
success for your life, ministry, business, calling, goals, etc—your destiny is
being wasted.
5)
If
you are dying before your time due to sickness, illness, injury, an accident, or
some other type of issue such as crime, your life has been attacked by a waster: I am not talking when it is the
time that God calls you home, but when it was before
your time—usually contributed to by life choices, mistakes, missteps,
failure to heed internal warnings/ instincts/ promptings from the Holy Spirit. Example: you’ve lived outside of the will of
God by engaging in immoral relationships which leads to chlamydia then cervical
cancer, then death. You are hanging out with people who drink, knowing you do not belong at that event. Instead of leaving when God tells you too, and taking a cab home, you wait for your ride, and end up in an accident three hours later that has left you paralyzed. Heed the warnings of the Lord!!!!
6)
If
you fail to follow what God puts into your heart to do: “Large” or “small” you just fail to do your assignment from God and
allow your assignment to be transferred (see the story of King Saul in 1 Samuel
15); your destiny has been wasted. If you feel called to something, simply ask God to confirm if you are unsure. Someone will speak to you about it, or you will hear a message, or find a Scripture. God DOES speak. And when He does--GO! Don't wait, just GO! Ever have an idea or vision for five years, failing to use it, then one day you forget about it--that is until you see someone else doing it? How did that feel? Horrible? Yes. I have personally learned that God will simply fulfill His will through someone else. God is no respecter of persons. He will wait for you for a while, it seems, as we saw Him wait on Moses a few years. However, if Moses had not stepped up to the plate in the Book of Exodus, you think God would have continued to leave the Jews in bondage? Nope. Maybe Jethro would have been parting the Red Sea and being talked about for thousands of years by people all around the world. How would Moses have felt for the remainder of his life?
7)
If
you allow your bread to become stones: Time and again, your blessings are turning into
curses because those blessings have been wasted.
8)
When
you are pursuing the wrong profession or ministry calling: You are in the
wrong career (like I’ve been), even though you know it is not for you. You keep going around in circles whenever you try to transition into what God has for you--that is
the work of the waster spirit.
9)
If
your mind is bombarded by evil thoughts: You cannot stop
being bitter in your thoughts about people, especially with unforgiveness. Unfortunately, a waster spirit is at play.
10) Occult practices in your background
or life: If your ancestors, especially your
parents, are involved in the occult—or have placed you in occult—unknowingly or
knowingly; i.e. your parents doing “spiritual baths” for protection when you
are a child—you become sucked into the free-for-all of a wasted life.
11) A Christian Not Bearing Fruit: If
you can look at your life and see that you have not done anything lasting for
the Kingdom of God or the Glory of Jesus Christ, such as lead at least one person to their salvation, served in a ministry, or even prayed for someone else, then a waster is destroying God's plans to use you in His Kingdom. Why does it matter, you are saved after all, right? I will tell you why. Satan knows that it is written, "So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire" (Matthew 7:19).
How
to Get Delivered and Overcome the Waster Spirit:
1)
That
is why Jesus came to die—for the salvation we need from our sins, but also so
we would live more abundantly—to the fullness of the destiny the Lord has for
us. He came so we would not be wasted!
First, you must give your entire
life to God through His Son, Jesus Christ.
You must confess that you are a sinner who needs a Savior. Then confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and
Savior; confess that He died on the Cross for our sins and rose on the third
day. Pray the sinner’s prayer to get
saved—you can try something like this or whatever comes to your heart along
these lines:
“God, I confess that I am a sinner.
Please forgive me for the sins I have committed. I repent of all my sins. I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ, died
on the Cross for my sins and rose on the third day. I ask Jesus now to be my Lord and
Savior. Please come into my heart,
Jesus, and take control of my life.
Please fill me and baptize me with Your Holy Spirit. In Your Name, I pray, Amen."
You
are now saved and a child of God in Jesus.
You are now covered by the Blood and have eternal life (John 3:16; John
14:6). But we do not stop there. He promises abundant life too (John 10:10).
2)
Ask
the Holy Spirit to examine and search your heart. Then repent specifically for whatever sins
come to your mind—whatever stands between you and God—that thing you did in
third grade that got your parents in trouble?
That time you lied about your grandfather dying to get out of work,
knowing he was alive and well down south?
Whatever God brings to your heart.
Repent and ask God to cleanse you of all
unrighteousness—the sins you remember and the ones you can’t remember. Repent for the sins you wanted to commit, even the ones you didn’t—like that time you
lusted after your boss that you knew was married? In God’s eyes, you already committed it. Repent for the sins that cause
curses—disobedience to parents, for example, is an open door for your life to
be wasted. Not doing so can cause life to be quite painful and shortened
(Exodus 20:12; Ephesians 6:2).

Wage
war against the wasters!!
Spiritual warfare—prayers to attack
and defeat, to take authority from God over these demonic forces. Start with these prayers, but ask the Holy
Spirit to lead you in the battle. First,
put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and then let the Lord
lead. Afraid of spiritual warfare? Well, the Lord says to pray “… in the Spirit
on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be
alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people (Ephesians 6:18). Don’t know how to engage in prayer
battle? Meditate on these verses: “Behold,
I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the
power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you” (Luke 10:19); “For the weapons
of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy
strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:4); “Truly,
I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever
you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 18:18); “No
weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises
against you in judgment, you shall condemn” (Isaiah 54:17).
Once you learn that you are ordered by the Lord to fight, ask Him to
teach you how. Boldly decree the
following Scriptures to aid in the battle:
Praise be
to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle (Psalm
144:1);
He makes my
feet like hinds' feet, And sets me upon my high places. 34He trains my hands
for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. 35You have also given me
the shield of Your salvation, And Your right hand upholds me; And Your
gentleness makes me great.… (Psalm 18:33-35).
Use the
prayers below to help you in the battle for your life!
