Spiritual Warfare

I might have posted something like this before but here goes again. Does anyone have spiritual warfare experience? I am a believer who knows the Bible but has bad iniquity pre and post baptism. Looking for someone to possibly counsel me and be a prayer partner. I really want freedom... freedom to serve Christ. Thanks for your help and prayers

Noah

Brother, you're not finding a Brother in your area?
You know that's what I've been praying for you.
Much safer.

You'll stay in our prayers and His Love!!

I have found people and they have laid hands on me and helped but I haven't found anyone who can actually cast out the demons or counsel me in a way to change things.

I've read several articles on greatbiblestudy.com and it has been helpful.
Thanks for your posts Jesus-is-GOD they have been encouraging.

Blessings Noah. I don't think the issue of conquering sin is always a "demonic" problem.
Even Jesse Penn Lewis in her book didn't direct people to have these demons cast-out 'by' someone else - but to call a lie a lie and get heavy into His Word. His Word cleanses us and is "living" and the rest is Faith. Faith that He loves you. Faith that He's cleansed and forgiven you. Faith that the work that He's begun, He will conplete. Total Faith in what He has written in His Word.
He honors when we look solely to Him and His Word. He would never neglect a soul that is diligently seeking Him through prayer and His written Word. No matter how long a person has been 'rebellious' - if that's what you're feeling - well, look at the prodigal... if he can come back and be given a new shot at life with the Father - I'm sure you are being offered that as well. You just need to truly pray while you read His Word and ask Him to help your faith issues. Faith comes by hearing the Word. Surely does.

We're rooting for you, Brother and will continue in prayer with you and hope doesn't let us down - the Word says.
You take one step and He takes two, or 102, for us :)
Chin up - looking unto the Author and Finisher of our faith.

"We're rooting for you,"

Thanks JiG.

I believe it! I will try to start a regimen of reading. I know it works because I have tried that before and have found lots of power in it. I used to read psalms through every week or so while in an institution.

My psychiatrist recommended taking fish oil with high EDA or something... anyone heard of that? Krautfrau?

I do much better just denying this one particular sin in my life. But then God brings other things into my life to work on. I think of the saints of old who have fought painfully to deny the flesh even unto death. They did it because of Him they will stand before:

9 “I kept looking
Until thrones were set up,
And the Ancient of Days took His seat;
His vesture was like white snow
And the hair of His head like pure wool.
His throne was [h]ablaze with flames,
Its wheels were a burning fire.
10 “A river of fire was flowing
And coming out from before Him;
Thousands upon thousands were attending Him,
And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him;
The court sat,
And the books were opened." -Daniel 7

I read this two days ago and got insight into the thousands attending Him. I hear voices and sometimes I ask them things. I asked them about the ancient of days and they said "He's not like [material things], He's the being who created all these things [then pointed to the trees and stars]" They said it with an awe. I just can't imagine such a being as beloved, gracious, and all mighty. Can you ?

Hi Brother Noah. The fish oil stuff is "EPA" but be sure to find Fish Oil that says, "purified to remove mercury".
I believe strongly in supplements. Magnesium and B & D3 vitamins and Lots of C [as much as your stomach can handle - a few times a day] and some zinc. Of course there's tons more, but on a budget - these would keep your immune system safer and help with nerve repair.
If you live in the States, in the produce section there's a refrigerated line of juices that are made from tons of good things. I won't give any brand names, but the green juice is loaded with stuff.
Eating healthy and avoiding soda, coffee and anything with caffiene [if you can] is good too.

So happy to hear about you going for The Bread of Life! :)

The LORD prosper you and give you Joy.

romanchog: I have contacted Jim by phone in the past. I calculated that it would cost over a thousand dollars to visit him in Iowa, plane ticket, hotel close enough to walk each morning for 5-6 days, food. I've listened to his sermon series on spiritual warfare though.

ginnyrose: thanks for that testimony. I can relate somewhat about the stronghold of that kind of slander/judging. The devil does things like that to me. Its very tiring. I pray for a day of deliverance like yours!

Lysa: I emailed you back. I'm better with audio sermons than written words but I'm open to it.

I just read an article on anti-self bondages from greatbiblestudy.com It was helpful. I need to actually believe that I am forgiven when I confess my sins. I look for a sensation of forgiveness to believe I am forgiven. feelings... I feel I have to do better in life for God to forgive me. A big problem I have is my own understanding of the scriptures. I have read the Bible many times but I use scriptures to justify things like 'believing I'm not forgiven yet' for example. gotta work work work to get forgiven... so to speak... sigh

Brother you say you are better with audio sermons than words. Get an audio New Testament and listen to it. There are apps available you can download of any major translation of scripture. Most of these apps are free and work in an Android or IPhone environment. Or you can purchase a digital Go Bible in the translation of your choice and listen to it.

But whatever you do. I echo Lysa's wisdom. Get the word in you. For the sword of the Spirit is the word of God that will help you defeat the evil one.

Thanks bearmaster. In fact I have the best audio Bible in existence: Alexander Scourby KJV!

No, but I do read the Bible daily. As much as I can really. Hopefully I will be doing the 3+ hours soon. The Lord only lets me read as much as I obey...

twayneb: do they have a website? I would like prayer, counseling and spiritual warfare help.

I listened to Derek Prince's "How To Identify The Enemy" part 1 and 2. its amazing... when he spoke about demons of lust I got a rage of accusatory thoughts toward Derek and his person, speech, etc. He seems to know what he's talking about like Dr. Jim Logan does. They have experience in the trenches. Thanks Lysa for recommending it.

It would take me about 2 hours by bus to get there one way. Do you know what are their meeting times Sunday and other days?
