Spiritual Warfare Testimonies

 

Judith walking thru homeless camps as she does often.

Listens to God for any instructions.

Keeps walking.  1/2 block from her a man under the influence looks at her and begins to curse her.  She is not bothered.  Two feet from him he begins to swing his arms toward her.  She swerves her head not to be hit.  He stops cursing her.  Feeling no fear, she continues walking.  A few seconds later his curse words reverberate in her head.  She then rebukes the enemy and commands the enemy to leave.  He instantly leaves.

 

Tawana reads the Ungodly Belief List.  She reads I am superior.   It clings to her that there is truth to this statement.  Directed to Say it out-loud different ways. It becomes more true to her. She asks Jesus to show her about this as she is shocked that she could have these negative feelings.

Jesus shows her Tawana in kindergarten the first day of school in a classroom She stands at the door feeling abandoned and in despair.  Why are they doing this to me? Next she sees herself in the coat closet sitting on the floor crying her eyes out.   She decides all of these people are mean, they don’t know any -thing and I am better than them. I am not going to let them do this to me. She feels all of this but doesn’t remember it happening.

She decided that she will show everyone that she is better and successful and will look good. 

This caused her to be arrogant, impatient, unkind, and her joy in life to be stunted, to be a judge of others behavior.  

She is ashamed of herself.  She repents of her sin. She now feels sorrow when the characters in the books she reads are suffering.  She also feels joy.  She has stopped criticizing her husband and judging others.  She feels released and free.

Before I had Christian counseling with Open Doors Ministry, I was trapped in my apartment in fear.  But since then God has freed me from chains and strongholds, from lies that kept me from going forward in my walk with Him. Before I received freedom, I trusted no one. I didn’t trust people in the church to say,” Hey, I need help, I need prayer.”  It was fear of rejection and shame. How could I really tell them who I really was inside, the truth and shame and the sin inside of me?  I just knew they would reject me like everyone else had.

Being set free was a process of me being willing to forgive what was done to me and forgive those who had a part in it.  The assignments that Satan had authorized I was able to break and basically tell him that he had no place anymore and to get out, that he was no longer welcome.

I learned to overcome fears, to listen to God's leading and understand that He is faithful.  He has proven to me that He can be trusted, and He keeps His word.  As I had trust issues, it was very important to know this truth.

Now I am set free to no longer fear rejection and am excited to share with anyone who would listen.  You don’t have to stay in those chains, defeated, taking two steps forward and six steps back. I am proof that it doesn’t matter how awful and horrible and ugly your past is, God has the bolt-cutters.  You can trust Him with your heart, you can just lay it all before Him. Don’t be afraid. I couldn’t do it with just prayer alone. I needed Christian counseling and God provided that for me. God has told me this:” You are altogether beautiful, my darling, there is no flaw in you.” 

 (Songs of Songs 4:7) Yes, we all have been created for a destiny that he has prepared for us, as we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it.
