Stop Celebrating Halloween? 10 Secrets Christians Must Know!

Is it easy to stop celebrating Halloween, popularly accepted as a funny event? With pumpkin spice lattes, spooky decorations, and people dressed up as witches and vampires, but have you ever wondered if Christians should rethink their participation in this tradition? In this article, I will delve into the truth behind Halloween and explore why Christians should stop celebrating Halloween.

Origin of Celebrating Halloween

Halloween, also known as All Hallows’ Eve has a long and intriguing history that dates back thousands of years. Its origins can be traced to the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter.

The Celtic believed that on the night of October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred, and spirits could freely roam the earth.

The traditions associated with Samhain included lighting bonfires, wearing costumes to ward off evil spirits, and offering food and drink to appease the souls of the deceased. These practices were later incorporated into Halloween when the holiday spread to other parts of the world.

Over time, Halloween evolved into a secular celebration characterized by costumes, trick-or-treating, jack-o’-lanterns, haunted houses, and parties. While its origins may be rooted in pagan practices, many people today view Halloween as a harmless and fun-filled event.

However, the roots of celebrating Halloween are deeply connected to witchcraft, paganism, and the occult. As Christian, you must stop celebrating Halloween because of its idolatrous origins.

Many of the Halloween traditions we know today have their roots in ancient pagan rituals. For example, the practice of carving pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns originated from the Irish tradition of carving turnips and placing candles inside to scare away evil spirits.

Trick-or-treating, another popular Halloween activity, has ties to the medieval practice of “souling.” During this time, poor people would go door-to-door begging for food in exchange for prayers for the souls of the dead. Over time, this practice evolved into children going door-to-door asking for treats.

Do not be deceived by the popular messages in the church telling you that it is all about fun. As a child of GOD who worship HIM in spirit and truth, is it possible to separate the fun and frivolous aspects of Halloween from its historical and spiritual connotations?

5 Bible Verses that Stop Celebrating Halloween

I am displeased to see how the celebration of Halloween holiday becomes a controversial topic amongst Christians.

The Christian perspective on Halloween varies among different denominations and individuals. Some Christians view Halloween as harmless fun and an opportunity to engage with their communities. They argue that the holiday has lost much of its religious significance and has become more about costumes, candy, and parties.

On the other hand, some Christians believe that Halloween is inherently linked to witchcraft, paganism, and the occult. They see it as a celebration that promotes darkness and evil, and they choose not to participate in any Halloween-related activities.

We must not be ignorant of the Devil’s devices that were put in use to separate us. Since, our faith is attached to the word of GOD then we must respect the view of the LORD as regards idolatry practices mentioned in the scriptures below:

1. The LORD detest costumes (painting)

“And when you are plundered, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with crimson, though you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with paint, in vain you will make yourself fair; Your lovers will despise you; They will seek your life.” (Jeremiah 4:30)

2. GOD Warned Not to Reverence the Dead

“There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. “For all who do these things are an abomination to the LORD…” (Deuteronomy 18:10-12)

3. Witchcraft Practices is an Abomination

“A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones. Their blood shall be upon them.” (Leviticus 20:27)

4. Halloween Related Practices End in Hell

“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)

5. Not to Join Worldly Entertainment

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2)

Since there are no scriptures in the Bible that supports celebrating Halloween, then it is not a holy practice. Life is not neutral, if you participate in the event then you support idolatry. It is wise you stop celebrating Halloween because it is not pleasing to the LORD!

10 Spiritual Effects to Stop Celebrating Halloween and What You Should Do!

As Christians, it is essential you consider God’s perspective on Halloween. While the Bible does not specifically address Halloween, it does provide principles and guidance that can help shape your understanding.

1. Manifestation of Darkness

Halloween afflicts your spirit because often it includes themes of death, occult practices, and glorification of evil, which do not align with the values of light and truth that Christians are called to uphold.

The Bible encourages you to avoid participating in activities associated with darkness (Ephesians 5:11).

2. Mixing with the World

You must stop celebrating Halloween because it focuses on pagan rituals and secular traditions, and it blur the line between the values of the world and the values of God’s kingdom.

The Bible calls you to be set apart from the world (Romans 12:2).

3. Dishonoring God

Celebrating Halloween does not glorify God in your life, and it is offensive to the LORD.

Christians are called to honor and glorify God in all they do (1 Corinthians 10:31).

4. Lack of Discernment

Origin and symbolism of Halloween contradicts biblical principles, so it makes it easy for your spirit to be consistently tormented by spirits of Anti-Christ.

The Bible encourages you to practice discernment in all areas of life (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

5. Ineffective Evangelism

You must stop celebrating Halloween because it sends a mixed messages to non-believers about Christian faith and our values.

Christians are called to be a light to the world and to influence others positively (Matthew 5:14-16).

6. Not Prioritizing Love

Halloween can sometimes promote fear, violence, and selfishness, which are contrary to the love that Christians are called to demonstrate.

The Bible emphasizes the importance of love for God and others (Matthew 22:37-39).

7. Participation in Occult Practices

Celebration of Halloween gets you involved in occult practices directly or indirectly and your spirit would be controlled by the power of darkness.

The Bible strictly warns against engaging in occult practices, such as witchcraft, divination, and contacting spirits (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).

8. Maintaining Cold Spiritual Status

Encourage Christians to stop celebrating Halloween because it makes them to be spiritually two-faced!

Christians are called to protect their conscience and avoid participating in activities that may cause them to stumble or compromise their faith (QUOTE REVELATION ON LUKEWARM).

9. Focusing on Deceits

Halloween may offer ‘entertainment and enjoyment’, but it does not align with the righteousness of GOD.

The Bible encourages believers to focus on what is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and commendable (Philippians 4:8).

10. Worldly Celebration that Sucks.

You must stop celebrating Halloween because the popular event does not edify you but disconnects your spirit from the presence of the Almighty GOD.

 

I encourage you to stop celebrating Halloween because it is obvious that the annual event can bewitch anyone, so I admonish you to study the Bible carefully and understand the voice of the Holy Spirit before you engage in any famous celebration in the world. The Devil is doing all his best to stain the Christians’ ‘white garment’.   

Is Smoking a Sinful Habit for Christians?

Posted by Dec 12, 2023 Holy Word, Youths Leave a Comment
Is Smoking a Sinful Habit for Christians?

Smoking becomes a sinful habit for the Christians when the outcome of the action does not portray righteousness and holiness.

I was tempted by my friends during high school to join in smoking cigarettes. Teenagers are the most sensitive to the mess of smoking.

Today’s message will explain the meaning of sin and the significance of smoking for Christians.

The printed bible we read does not contain all events as mentioned in John chapter 21 verse 25. So, it is dangerous for you to say you will do things not mentioned in the bible.

Sin is simply defined as a wrong action that is not pleasing to the LORD and not beneficial to humanity. If a wrong action is not specifically mentioned in GOD’s commandments in the bible, then does it translate to righteousness?

As we move from generation-to-generation new ‘advance’ sins spring up in our midst which are acceptable by the society, thus such sins won’t appear in the Bible, but the Holy Spirit is here to tell you how wrong they are.

Origin of Smoking

I read on the Wikipedia that the history of tobacco dates to as early as 5000–3000 BC, cultivated in Mesoamerica and South America; consumption later evolved into burning the plant substance.

The practice turned into shamanistic rituals. Ancient civilizations – such as the Babylonians, the Indians, and the Chinese – burnt incense during religious rituals.

Smoking in the Americas had its origins in the incense-burning ceremonies of shamans but was later adopted for pleasure.

Statistics of Smoking

It is in the news that with 1.3 billion smokers in the world nearly 5 trillion cigarettes are consumed each year, contributing to more than 8 million deaths and nearly US $2 trillion in economic damage. And it is pathetic that smoking among young teens ages 13-15 has increased in 63 countries.

Benefits of Smoking

1. The smoking of tobacco and various hallucinogenic drugs was used to achieve trances and to encounter the spirit world.

2. Earlier, the Eastern North American tribes often smoked tobacco in ceremonial pipes, either in sacred ceremonies or to seal bargains.

3. The combination of tobacco plants to other herbs is used for medicine, but smoking has become a social event to derive pleasure.

The benefits of smoking mentioned above by the smokers are occult and harmful to Christians.

Effects of Smoking to the Body

The deadly effect of smoking erodes the idolatry and pleasure derived from smoking:

1. Smoking is a major risk factor for heart attacks, strokes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

2. Causes several types and subtypes of cancers (particularly lung cancer, cancers of the oropharynx, mouth cancer etc.).

3. Tobacco smoking is the leading cause of preventable death.

4. It causes diabetes.

5. Smoking also increases the risk of tuberculosis, certain eye diseases, and problems with the immune system, including rheumatoid arthritis.

God’s View About Smoking

1. The origin of smoking was for idolatry purposes. GOD detests idolatry.

“You shall not worship the LORD your God in that way; for every abomination to the LORD which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.” (Deuteronomy 12:31)

2. Smoking is a social event for deriving pleasure. It does not correlate with the kind of pleasure the LORD wants for us.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” (Colossians 3:16)

3. The medicinal abuse of the tobacco plant is synonymous with the abuse of alcohol too.

4. The terrible side effects of smoking on your body will never be a joy to the LORD who created you.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” (Romans 12:1)

5. Smoking invites demons into you while it chases away the Spirit of GOD.

7 Powerful Ways to Stop Smoking

1. Do not imitate pastors who smoke because the LORD told me that anointing is different from salvation.

2. Surrender your entire life to the LORD and be ready for godly spiritual discipline.

3. Smoking is an addiction that can be stopped by your determination to obey the Holy Spirit all the time.

4. Read the whole bible with the determination to know more about the LORD you surrender your life to.

5. When the push to smoke comes then pick up your cell phone to talk to a servant of GOD about it.

6. Stay away from your old friends and always chat with good Christians who can help you.

7. Fasting and prayer is a strong spiritual exercise that yields miracle. Denying yourself a stick of cigar is fasting, then do not joke with your sincere prayers to the LORD and you will surely have your deliverance.

Smoking is a sin because it is a wrong concept and not beneficial to you and your neighbors. It separates you from the presence of GOD and exposes you to demonic influences. Tobacco and other smoking substances cause cancer and premature death which are not GOD’s plan for your life.

Overcome Poverty! 7 Ways for Christians to Never Be Poor

Overcome Poverty! 7 Ways for Christians to Never Be Poor

To be poor may not be a sin but to overcome poverty must be the task of all Christians because poverty means lack of resources to survive a good life. Are you going through a tough time despite your faith in the LORD? I was once wretched but now I have overcome poverty through the teachings of the Holy Spirit. Today’s message will expose you to the secrets of poverty and how to pull it out.

5 Main Causes of Poverty

1. Selfish Leaders

When the government officials are selfish leaders which leads to oppression of the people through multiple taxes etc. Then the level of poverty will rise in the land where there is corruption and embezzlement of public funds. (James 5:1-4)

2. Laziness

It was my generation that youths refused to be hardworking and wanted to be rich very fast, so there are many ‘pastors’ whom God did not anoint in many churches springing up because members must pay tithes and offerings to feed the ‘lazy pastors’ who refused to work.

If you love too much sleep and don’t want to work, then poverty won’t leave.

“…to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.” (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12)

3. Environmental Disaster

Earthquakes, pandemics, harsh weather crises destroying cities and war can go a long way to distorting business settings making a lot of people in the rich or comfortable zone slide towards poverty line.

4. Persecution of Christians

This cause of poverty is always temporary, and Jesus Christ told us not to be weary. It’s a trial that won’t last forever and you will come out strong when you maintain your faithfulness to the LORD.

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

5. Spiritual Attack

Devil’s devices that can cause poverty include; gambling, partying, clubbing, sexual immoralities, money rituals, love for money, covetousness, cheats and stealing.

7 Ways to Overcome Poverty as a Christian

1. Start Intense Bible Studies

The first step for you to overcome poverty is to study the Bible yourself through the help of the Holy Spirit. Read with a humble open mind to understand God’s teaching about poverty and wealth.

2. Readiness for Spiritual Discipline

Having read the Bible, the next step is obedience to all the instructions of the LORD. Don’t be carried away by the ‘sweetness’ in worldliness. God’s way to overcome poverty is unpopular but it is the best for you.

3. Stay Away from Sin

Sin in your life gives the Devil the opportunity to sow seeds of poverty! You cannot continue sinning and expect the LORD to bless your investments. Don’t be deceived by those false pastors telling you that God does not care about how you use your body.

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Romans 6:1-2)

4. Take Righteous Steps

Don’t look for shortcuts to wealth because dubious steps cannot help you overcome poverty. I tried it previously and my ‘fingers got burnt’ and I narrowly escaped committing suicide. Despite living in a corrupt society, if you obey the business strategies of the LORD just like Isaac then you can also become wealthy.

5. Contentment is the Key

Always make yourself comfortable with the daily provisions of the LORD. Don’t try to compare yourself to your next neighbor. Wealth has no limit so you can’t have all the money in the world.

Don’t rush to overcome poverty so take a step at a time as directed by the LORD. I chose to be peaceful when I realized that the richest man on earth still feels insecure and incomplete sometimes.

6. Always Give to the Poor

You might think you are poor but there are millions of people poorer than you. I completely overcome poverty when I obey the instructions of the LORD about giving to the needy.

We are not in the Old Testament era of one-tenth, that is the reason many pastors are very rich and the church members donating tithes are struggling to survive.

Don’t give tithes but give as much as you can to the needy around you and see how the LORD will reward you greatly.

The Apostles of Jesus Christ understood the tactics of blessings and never asked for tithe donation:

“Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.” (Acts 2:44-45)

How I wish all pastors will follow this apostolic practice, poverty will never exist in the Christendom. 

7. You Get what You See

You will overcome poverty when you have a positive mindset that you will be successful even during harsh economy. Your faithfulness to the LORD every day is essential because your human brain cannot handle all situations.

Faith in the LORD is a powerful tool that will accompany your hard work and investment which will yield miraculous harvest of abundance for you.

 

When you overcome poverty through God’s method then you will be rich on earth, and it won’t hinder your heavenly wealth as well. Stay away from sinful lifestyle, slothfulness, and false belief. Come to the LORD with a serious heart, work and live a holy life and the LORD will bring a wonderful turnaround of great wealth for you in Jesus’ name.

6 Powerful Ways to Overcome Dark Powers as a Christian

Are you struggling to overcome dark powers as a Christian? If so, you’re not alone. Many believers face spiritual battles that can be challenging to conquer. But fear not, for there are proven ways to overcome these dark forces and find victory in Jesus Christ.

In this article, I will explore powerful strategies that will equip you to take a stand against the forces of darkness.

From strengthening your relationship with God to using the weapons of prayer and scriptures, you will learn practical and effective methods to overcome the enemy’s attempts to derail you from your faith.

Understanding the Concept of Dark Powers

Dark powers refer to the spiritual forces that oppose God and seek to hinder Christian believers in our walk with Jesus Christ.

These evil powers can manifest in various ways, such as temptation, doubt, fear, and even physical manifestations. It is crucial to recognize that dark powers are not to be taken lightly, as they have the potential to cause significant harm and damage to you and your relationship with the LORD.

One key aspect of understanding dark powers is recognizing their source. The Bible teaches us that Satan and his demons are behind these forces of darkness.

Satan, also known as the enemy or the devil, is a powerful spiritual being who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). His goal is to separate you from God and lead you astray.

By understanding this, you can better equip yourself to identify and combat the dark powers that come against you.

To overcome dark powers, it is important to seek discernment and wisdom from God. By studying the Word of God and relying on the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you can gain insight into the strategies of the enemy and learn how to effectively counter them.

The Importance of Spiritual Warfare for Christians

As Christian, it is important to understand the concept of spiritual warfare and its significance in your life. Spiritual warfare refers to the ongoing battle between the forces of good and evil in the spiritual realm.

It is a battle that each believer is called to engage in, as we are not only citizens of this world but also citizens of the Kingdom of God.

Engaging in spiritual warfare requires a mindset shift. You must recognize that you are in a constant battle against the forces of darkness and that your weapons are not physical, but spiritual.

Paul reminds us in Ephesians chapter 6 verse 12 that “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.”

This verse underscores the importance of spiritual warfare and the need for believers to actively engage in it.

By understanding the importance of spiritual warfare, you can equip yourself with the necessary tools to overcome dark powers. This includes as outlined in Ephesians chapter 6 verse 13 to 17, putting on the full armor of God which consist of:

1. Belt of Truth,

2. Breastplate of Righteousness,

3. Shoes of the gospel of Peace,

4. Shield of Faith,

5. Helmet of Salvation, and

6. Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.

Each piece of armor plays a critical role in protecting and empowering you in the fight to overcome dark powers.

The 6 Powerful Signs of Dark Powers in an Individual

While these signs can manifest in different ways for different individuals, there are some common indicators that can help you identify the presence of dark powers in your life.

It is important to note that these signs should not be used as a means of labeling or judging others but rather as a tool for self-reflection and discernment.

1. Persistent feeling of spiritual oppression or heaviness. This may manifest as a constant sense of fear, anxiety, or unease.

2. Recurring nightmares.

3. Unexplained physical ailments.

4. Sudden changes in behavior or personality.

5. Constant bombardment of negative thoughts or temptations.

6. Presence of ungodly influences or strongholds in your life in the form of addictions, unhealthy relationships, or involvement in occult practices.

When you find yourself unable to break free from these influences despite your best efforts, it may be an indication that dark powers are at work.

6 Powerful Combine Forces to Overcome Dark Powers

1. Prayer and Fasting

Prayer and fasting have been powerful weapons to overcome dark powers since ancient times. Prayer is your direct line of communication with God, and through it, you can seek His guidance, protection, and deliverance.

When faced with spiritual warfare, it is essential to prioritize prayer as a regular part of your life. By setting aside dedicated time to commune with God, you invite His presence and power into your circumstances. Don’t ask Pastors to keep praying for you while you live a prayerless lifestyle – it won’t work!

Fasting, on the other hand, is a spiritual discipline that involves abstaining from food or other physical desires for a specific period. It is a way to humble yourself before God, seeking His intervention and breakthrough.

Fasting can help you develop self-discipline and strengthen your dependence on God.

When combined, prayer and fasting create a dynamic spiritual force that enables you to confront and overcome dark powers.

2. Reading the Bible and Meditation

God’s Word is a source of strength and encouragement for believers facing spiritual battles. The Bible is filled with promises, teachings, and stories of individuals who overcame the forces of darkness through their faith in the LORD.

By immersing yourself in His word, you gain insight, wisdom, and a deeper understanding of His character and His plan for your life.

Scripture can be a powerful tool in combating the lies and deceptions of the enemy. When faced with doubts or temptations, you can turn to the Word of God for guidance and affirmation.

You will get armed with truth to overcome dark powers by memorizing and meditating on specific verses that speak to your struggles!

Reading and studying the Bible regularly keeps you grounded in your faith and helps you discern the voice of God amidst the noise of the world. It provides you with a solid foundation and a compass to navigate through life’s challenges.

As you align your thoughts and actions with the truth of God’s word, you become less susceptible to the influences of dark powers.

By immersing yourself in God’s teachings and allowing it to transform your heart, you can overcome dark powers and walk in the light of His love.

3. Surrender Your Total Mind for God’s Control

One way to break free from negative influences and temptations is by evaluating your relationships.

Surrounding yourself with sincere Christians who adhere to the holy virtues of the Bible and support your spiritual growth is essential.

By cultivating healthy relationships, you create an environment that encourages you to live according to God’s principles of holiness and resist the pressures of the world.

It is necessary to guard your mind against negative media, entertainment, and social media influences. These platforms often promote values and ideologies that are contrary to biblical teachings.

By intentionally choosing what you allow into your mind, you can protect yourself from the subtle attacks of dark powers.

Temptation is another phenomenon that requires vigilance and intentional action. The enemy often uses your weaknesses and desires against you, enticing you to compromise the commandments of the LORD.

By recognizing your vulnerabilities and seeking God’s help, you can resist temptation and overcome its grip on your life. Prayer, accountability, and developing healthy habits and righteous routines are practical steps you can take to break free from the allure of temptation.

By actively eliminating negative influences and resisting temptation, you create an environment conducive to spiritual growth and victory over dark powers.

4. Stay Away from Church that Uses Materialism

Involvement in occult practices is a direct invitation to dark powers into your life.

From witchcraft and divination to astrology and fortune-telling, these practices open doors for spiritual oppression and can hinder your relationship with God.

The use of candles, oil, rosary, soap, handkerchief and other similar objects as a medium between you and God during prayers is idolatry and deliverance through this method is purely false manipulation and it won’t be a permanent victory. Trust me – I am sharing a real experience with you!

Renouncing involvement in occult practices involves making a conscious decision to turn away from these activities and seek forgiveness from the LORD.

It is important to note that to overcome dark powers is not a one-time event but an ongoing process. As you grow in your faith, you may discover areas of your life that still need cleansing and healing.

By continually seeking God’s presence and His power for deliverance, you can experience true freedom from the influence of dark powers.

5. Regular Worship and Praise to GOD

Worship and praise are powerful weapons to overcome dark powers. As you exalt and glorify God, His presence fills your life, and the forces of darkness are pushed back.

Cultivating a lifestyle of worship and praise involves making it a daily practice to honor and magnify God in every aspect of our lives.

Worship can take various forms, including singing, dancing, playing instruments, or simply expressing your love and adoration for God. It is an opportunity to connect with Him on a deeper level and invite His presence into your circumstances.

Praise, on the other hand, involves expressing gratitude and thanksgiving to God for His goodness and faithfulness. It is a way to shift your focus from your problems to His promises, filling your heart with joy and peace.

By intentionally praising God in both the good times and the difficult seasons, you declare His victory over any dark power that may try to come against you.

6. You Must Forgive and Love

Forgiveness and love are transformational forces that can break the chains of darkness in your life.

The enemy often uses unforgiveness, bitterness, and hatred to keep you in bondage. By embracing the power of forgiveness and love, you can experience freedom and restoration.

Forgiveness allows you to break free from the cycle of resentment and bitterness, releasing the burden of carrying grudges. It is a powerful act of obedience that opens the door to healing and restoration.

Love, on the other hand, is the greatest weapon against darkness. By loving God and loving others, you align yourself with His heart and His purposes.

Love dispels fear, breaks down walls, and brings healing to broken relationships. The enemy seeks to divide and destroy, but love unites and builds up.

By intentionally choosing to love, even in the face of opposition or hurt, you will overcome the powers of darkness with the power of God’s love.

Embracing forgiveness and love requires a willingness to surrender your pride and your desire for revenge. It involves seeking God’s help in extending grace and mercy to those who have wronged you. By allowing His love to flow through you, you become conduits of His healing and redemptive power.

Don’t be deceived by the dubious prophets and pastors who ask you for money. No amount of money for tithes or special offerings can make you overcome dark powers. Please follow the practical steps above and you will be victorious permanently in Jesus’ name.

I pray as you obey the powerful steps above the LORD will reveal His mighty power to you and you will overcome dark powers troubling your life in Jesus’ name.

How to Achieve Deliverance from Powers of Darkness

How to Achieve Deliverance from Powers of Darkness

Are you tired of feeling trapped and weighed down by the powers of darkness in your life? Do you long for deliverance and a fresh start? Don’t worry anymore! Many years ago, I was under the torment from powers of darkness but the LORD delivered me.

My dream realm was terrible and my daily experience was deadly until I saw the light of Jesus Christ who set me free from the evil forces. In this article, I will guide you on a journey towards breaking free from the chains that bind you.

Understanding the Powers of Darkness

The powers of darkness are real and can have a significant impact on your life. These powers are manifested in different ways, such as fear, anxiety, depression, addiction, and other negative behaviours.

The Bible refers to these powers as spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. These powers seek to keep you in bondage and prevent you from fulfilling your God-given purpose.

“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:11-12)

The two major ways that the powers of darkness operate is through:

1. Deception

They seek to deceive you into believing lies about yourselves, others, and God. These lies can lead you down a path of destruction and keep you in bondage of sins.

2. Oppression

Evil forces seek to oppress you with feelings of fear, anxiety, depression, and other negative emotions. These emotions can be overwhelming and can make you feel like you are unable to break free from their grip.

The Impact of Powers of Darkness on your life

They can affect your spiritual relationship with God, family, health, finances, and make you stay longer in occult beliefs. For example;

1. Fear can prevent you from stepping out in faith and following God’s will for your life.

2. Depression can rob you of joy and prevent you from enjoying life.

3. Addiction can destroy your health and relationships.

4. These negative behaviors can keep you in bondage and prevent you from living the holy lifestyle that pleases the LORD.

The impact of the powers of darkness on your life can be devastating, but there is hope because I survived and had permanent victory. You can also break free from their influence and experience true freedom and deliverance through the power of Jesus Christ.

7 Major Ways to Identify the Powers of Darkness

To break free from the powers of darkness, you need to be able to identify them. Some signs of the evil powers include:

1. Negative thoughts and emotions

2. Fear, anxiety, and depression

3. Addiction and other negative behaviors

4. Oppression and feelings of heaviness

5. Relationship problems

6. Health problems

7. Spiritual attacks

If you are experiencing any of these signs, it is essential to seek help from the LORD and rise to take powerful steps to break free from the powers of darkness.

10 Steps of Deliverance from Powers of Darkness

Breaking free from the powers of darkness is not an easy process, but it is possible through the Blood of Jesus Christ. I followed the steps below and I am victorious today so I urge you to do the following:

1. Renounce the powers of darkness and all their influence in your life. Stay away from all bad friends, false pastors or other occult relationships.

2. Destroy all idolatry materials with you such as; charms, rosary, candles, soaps, porn materials, and the likes.

3. Lock yourself in your room and confess your sins wholeheartedly and ask GOD to forgive you. Invite the Holy Spirit to come into you.

4. Forgive yourself and others for any hurts or wounds that may be contributing to your bondage.

5. Prayers during the day and the mid-night cannot be overemphasized.

6. Fasting is also very vital if you have some free working days to pray in privacy, but restrain if you have stomach illness.

7. Read the Bible on hourly basis because scriptural meditation is powerful for deliverance.

8. You must be eager to live according to the instructions of Jesus Christ in the Bible. Get set to endure God’s discipline. Your obedience to God’s rules will definitely defeat the demons!

9. Always listen to good Christian worship music because your mind must be active with godly expressions.

10. Visit servants of GOD who are not after your money for spiritual counsel in case you need more spiritual explanation. Though, the Holy Spirit is there for you. You must test all spiritual counsel with the word of Jesus Christ in the Bible and throw away any fallacy or non-scriptural doctrines.

Note: Deliverance through the Power of the LORD is absolutely free of charge, you don’t need to pay tithes, offerings or seeds to any pastor or prophets.

Genuine deliverance from Jehovah must not be accompanied by materialism such as oil, water, handkerchief or speaking in tongues that has no interpretation – beware of many false prophets in the church.

Bible Scriptures to Overcome Powers of Darkness

Overcoming Fear and Doubt in the Deliverance Process

The deliverance process can be challenging, and it is common to experience fear and doubt. You may wonder if you will ever be free from the powers of darkness.

It is essential to remember that deliverance is a process, and it takes time. You need to trust in God’s plan for your life and believe that He will set you free.

To overcome fear and doubt you need to continue reading the Bible and declaring God’s promises over your life. Also make friends with God-fearing Christians and not the hypocrites.
