2. Deal with the internal enemies
3. Combine prayer with fasting
Introduction
In
the previous article, I gave eight keys to guard our hearts and live a
victorious life despite the enemy’s persistent attack. Kindly check out
that article for a deeper understanding. If you can recall, I stated in the
previous article that we must listen to inspired songs, watch important videos,
play games, and watch clean, funny videos to guard our hearts. Those seeds are minor
keys to guard our hearts and live a victorious life despite the enemy’s attack.
The levels of enemies
One
truth you must know is that there are levels and types of enemies. I encourage
you to download and read my book, How to Live and Deal with Enemies, and
the other spiritual warfare series connected to it for a more profound
revelation. Some enemies are wicked to the highest degree! You cannot be
watching funny videos and playing games and expect these enemies to surrender.
Dealing with wicked and unrepentant enemies with some of the keys I shared in the previous article will make a little impact. Some
enemies have covenanted with evil spirits and occult societies to work
wickedness.
Some,
too, visit demonic shrines to cast curses and spells on people, animals, specific
environments, and living things. With such enemies, watching funny videos and
playing games will not affect them much, because they have sworn to steal,
kill, and destroy, just as the devil has decided to do to us (meditate on John
10:10, 1 Peter 5:8-9, and Ephesians 6:10-18).
Keep
reading because I’m about to give you unstoppable and unbreakable keys to break
these enemies to make you live a victorious life. Some enemies are noise
makers. These enemies might not covenanted with evil spirits to destroy. These
enemies may be a little jealous of you. With these enemies, playing games and
watching funny videos, as explained in article one, will work on them because
they need your attention, and you are not giving it to them.
However,
the enemies who have sworn to take your life, you must know how to live and deal
with them. This is one reason I have taken my time to write this article. I am
giving you the foundation to understand this topic better. Let’s read from the
Holy Scriptures.
Finally, brethren, pray for
us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified,
even as it is with you:
And that we may be delivered
from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
But the Lord is faithful, who
shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
2
Thessalonians 3:1-3 KJV
Do
you know that your joy, peace, and success sadden some people? Some people are
wicked to the extent that they desire you become sick, mad, or dead! Apostle
Paul needed the prayers of the brethren. Paul desired deliverance from
unreasonable and wicked vessels because some people do not have faith.
Some
people can create enemies for you without you hurting them. These are wicked
people, most often possessed by evil spirits. Their agenda is to make you fail
and perish. Do you know that over forty Jews decided to fast because they
wanted to kill Apostle Paul in cold blood? (see Acts 23:12)
Child
of God, some enemies mean business! With such enemies, you cannot sit idle or
play games. You must put on the whole armor of God! The heart is deceitful
above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (see Jeremiah 17:9).
In Job 15:14-16, Eliphaz made profound statements.
What
is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he
should be righteous?
Behold,
he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
How
much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
People
who are not born again enjoy sin. They know how to work wickedness with their
eyes, minds, hearts, and hands. The Holy Bible states that they drink iniquity
like water. If you live with such people, how can you grow and succeed? How can
you get your peace and freedom if these people surround you? This is one reason
you must keep reading. Solomon further stated.
This
is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one
event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and
madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
Ecclesiastes 9:3 KJV
Solomon
states that the human heart is full of evil. He further states that madness is
in their heart while they live! Sometimes, I ask myself whether some people are
normal or abnormal. Some people are wicked to gospel preachers and righteous
people because their hearts are corrupt.
These
wicked vessels work wickedness like mad people, just like Solomon stated in the
Holy Bible. These people can stay the whole night planning evil. Their minds,
presence, and words are full of wickedness (see Psalms 59). With these people surrounding
us, how do we live victorious lives? Keep reading. You will know what to do
when you encounter these people or live in places occupied by wicked hearts and
minds. In Mark 7:21-22, our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus made a profound
statement.
For
from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries,
fornications, murders,
Thefts,
covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy,
pride, foolishness:
Mark 7:21-22 KJV
Some
people blame the devil for their wickedness. I know there are times the devil
and his minions can influence us to do bad things. However, it is our choice to
allow the devil to control us. Christ Jesus stated that sin (evil energies)
such as evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness,
wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, and pride come from
the heart.
These
evil energies come from within, not the devil. Stop blaming the devil for your
wickedness. Take responsibility. Child of God, you cannot live successfully if
you don’t know how wicked people work. Like a seed germinating, if you don’t
deal with the weeds surrounding the seed, the weeds will kill it. Most often,
if the weeds are strong and infested with insects and other harmful animals, it
is just a matter of time. The weeds and insects will fight and kill the seed.
However,
if you want the seed to live and germinate into a fruitful tree, deal with the
weeds, pests, and insects. One thing I have seen about toxic people is that
they easily affect the atmosphere and people. Their presence can darken an environment
within seconds! In the same way, people with a pure heart bring a positive
change in the atmosphere. If you allow toxic people, they will drain your
energy and make you depressed, hopeless, and suicidal. This is one reason I
have sacrificed my time to write this article.
I
don’t want toxic people to destroy you. I want you to live the life Christ
Jesus demands from us (see Jeremiah 29:11). When you allow toxic people to
dominate you, you will also become toxic. This is one reason the Holy Bible
commands us not to yoke ourselves with unbelievers or angry people (see 2
Corinthians 6:14-18, Proverbs 22:24, Proverbs 21:19). Sometimes, the one
closest to you can be your worst enemy. Do you remember what Christ Jesus said
to us?
And a
man's foes shall be they of his own household.
Matthew
10:36 KJV
Your
wife, husband, child, parent, close friend, workmate, and the one you trust
most can be your worst enemy. With such people, how do you live with them?
Well, you must confront them wisely if they keep hurting you.
Let
the person know that you don’t like his actions (see Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). If
possible, create some boundaries to protect yourself. Some enemies are
important while some are unimportant. The unimportant ones are those who worry
or disturb your peace for a temporal season. These people most often have not
covenanted with evil spirits to steal, kill, or destroy. With these “ignorant”
enemies, most of the wisdom keys I shared in article one will work.
However,
do not joke with the important enemies. I mean the enemies who have sworn to
take your life! Do you know that there are situations in the Holy Bible where God
had to kill some people because that was the only way out? I encourage you to
download and read my books, The Mysteries of Household Enemies and How
to Live and Deal with Enemies, for a more profound revelation.
By
God’s grace, I have written more than fifteen books on the enemy and spiritual
warfare. The books are free on my blog. Download, read, share, and recommend
the books to others so they can also receive freedom.
Also,
if the enemy is of the opposite gender, maybe you are a man and the disguised
enemy is a woman, or you are a woman, and the disguised enemy is a man. In this
case, what should you do? The first thing to do is to watch and pray.
Like
Samson, the enemy used a woman to trap him. The enemy can sense that you are
well guarded. Mentally and spiritually, you might be guarded, so the enemy will
use the opposite gender to access you.
Set
boundaries. I stated that already. Do not create a doorway for the enemy. I
have given you some keys to guard your heart. Below are the ten unstoppable
keys to guard your heart and live a victorious life despite the enemy’s persistent
attack. Kindly share the link to this article to save a life.
Ten Unconquerable Ways to Guard Your Heart and Live a Victorious Life Despite the Enemy’s Persistent Attack
1. Live a pure life
When a man's ways please the
LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Proverbs
16:7 KJV
The
above Holy Scripture is a prophetic word that works wondrously in my life.
Living a morally upright life and walking in the path of the Word delivers us
from the traps of the enemy. When our lifestyle pleases the Lord, God makes
sure our enemies hold their peace. Like a dove and a sheep, it is rare to find
people killing these animals for fun.
One
reason most people find it difficult to harm doves and sheep is because of their
peaceful, humble, and obedient nature. Christ Jesus expects us to imitate the
wisdom of the dove and the sheep (meditate on Matthew 10:16). When we walk in
the light of the word, the enemy will find it difficult to harm us.
When
we walk and live with a pure heart and clean hands, the Lord encamps his angels
around us (meditate on Psalms 34:7). From today, walk and live in the light of
the Holy Spirit. The Lord will shield you with His angels. I encourage you to
download and read my series of books on the Holy Spirit for a more
profound revelation. The books are free on my blog.
2. Deal with the internal enemies
In
Mark 7:21-22, Christ Jesus stated that out of our hearts proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit,
lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness. These virtues
are internal or hidden enemies. If you don’t deal with the pride,
unforgiveness, bitterness, inferiority complex, unholy anger, and the fear
ruling your soul, the external enemy will conquer you.
Pride,
unforgiveness, bitterness, an inferiority complex, unholy anger, and fear are
destructive poisons (evil energies). The enemy relies on these evil energies to
subdue you. Release these toxins so that your soul can escape from the dark
prison (meditate on 2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Download and read my books on the
Holy Spirit and spiritual warfare for wisdom keys. You will know how to deal
with the internal enemies. When you deal with and defeat the internal enemies,
the external enemies will not dominate you.
3. Combine prayer with fasting
If
you read Mark 17:14-21, you will understand that Christ Jesus made a profound
statement. In verse twenty-one of Mark chapter seventeen, Christ Jesus stated
that “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer
and fasting.”
I have come to realize that
some cases demand prayer and fasting. At the beginning of the article, I stated
that some enemies have covenanted with evil spirits to steal, kill, and
destroy. With such enemies, we must deploy the weapon of prayer and fasting.
There are some cases in which
prayer alone cannot unlock certain doors because you have to make a sacrifice.
That sacrifice is fasting with understanding led by the Holy Spirit. When you
add fasting to your prayers, God loosens the bands of wickedness. Secondly, God
will undo the heavy burdens. Thirdly, He will let the oppressed go free.
Finally, the yokes hindering your blessings will break (meditate on Isaiah
58:6). I encourage you to download and read my book, This Kind Goes Not
Except by Prayer and Fasting, for a more profound revelation. When prayer
and Spirit-led fasting become your lifestyle, unrepentant enemies and evil
forces will distance themselves from you.
4. Invite the Holy Forces
Death and life are in
the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Proverbs
18:21 KJV
Do
you know that unstoppable power rests in the promises of God recorded in the
Holy Bible? This unbreakable and unstoppable power manifests when you declare
the promises in the Word with faith. When you declare the promises of God with
a pure heart, the holy spiritual forces act (see 103:20).
The
day I became familiar with the truth about God’s promises (the sure prophecy),
I kept declaring God’s promises over my life. There is no day that I do not
declare God’s promises over my life, especially Isaiah 54:17. Sometimes in my dreams,
I see myself declaring the promises of God when the enemy attacks. Child of
God, death and life rest in our tongue. When we speak evil words, we invite the
enemy into our lives. However, when we speak the word of God with absolute
faith, it breaks the enemy's stronghold (meditate on Hebrews 4:12 and Jeremiah
23:29). Make it a daily habit to declare God’s promises over your life. The
enemy will not dominate you if you practice this master key. For a more profound
revelation, download and read my book, 1001 Divine Principles of Spiritual
Warfare.
5. Be expectant
One
thing I have learnt in life is that enemies are part of the journey. Although
the real enemy is the devil, some spirits and souls have decided to align with the
devil to work wickedness. Expect people to hate, reject, oppose, criticize,
mock, fight, and love you because it is part of life.
Know
that anybody can do anything. Build shock absorbers because some people are
determined to oppose you, irrespective of your innocence. It doesn’t matter how
weak, strong, righteous, small, or great you are; there will be enemies.
If
you are expecting an enemy, you will not be shocked because you know that they
will definitely come your way. One truth is that enemies are not people who
make us comfortable. Enemies come into our lives to make us “stronger” and “wiser.”
Know how to position yourself, and you will travel far.
Even
Christ Jesus, who lived a holy life and never sinned, had enemies. This should alert
you to human nature. Build a strong heart and mind so that you can stand the
enemy’s arrow. In the next article, I will unveil the finest master keys to
guard your heart despite the enemy’s attack. With those keys combined with
these keys, you will know how and when to position yourself in the stormy
season. Kindly share the link to this article to save a life.
