I think once you up your prayer life, the devil and his cohorts always try to attack. They want to attack you and scare you into “using” the name of Jesus less. I mean, at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow right and every tongue shall confess right?

1
The devil just wants you to remain a slave to sin because he sure knows sin causes a barrier between man and God.

He knows building your relationship with Christ means he has no access to destroy you which is of course his purpose for God’s children.

It’s really crazy to be honest cause me of before would just relax but me of now? Omo, the prayer is more dangerous.

I just thought of this now cause of something that happened some days ago, i know some people would say “sleep paralysis “ as usual but its not

3
I was sleeping oh, jejely jejely and i woke up. Like my mind was alert and stuff but I couldn’t move, I couldn’t open my mouth, my teeth were literally shut together. I mean, normal normal, I thought to myself “damn, this sleep paralysis again?“

4
Then i heard this “suuuuuuuu” sound. At first I thought to myself, definitely has to be the fan or probably these crickets but it got louder and closer. Omo, I couldn’t open my mouth but i kept saying “Jesus” in my mind.

5
Next thing, i felt something climb my bed, lol, I cannot even make this up. Then i tried to turn a little but it was so difficult, next thing i felt a hand on me. The Jesus in my head became louder oh and it was like everything just stopped in a split second

6
Ofcourse, I questioned it, I thought to myself, should i trick my mind into believing this was a dream of some sort or should I actually take charge and tell myself the truth, it wasn’t? Infact, i stayed on the same position of my bed for some minutes, scared to even look back

7
Then i said a prayer, spoke in tongues and ran to my mums room where my baby sisters were🤦🏾‍♀️
Prayed there again and slept.

After morning devotion that morning , i was telling my mum what i had encountered, and pops overheard. Told me i need to be more prayerful

8
...and i should also pray with Psalms 35, Psalms 91 and one other Psamls (can’t remember). He also said I shouldn’t run and when i do have my own house where would I run to?

This is very true. That night, when i did my normal prayers, i took charge and...

9
...when i opened Psalms 35 (which oddly enough i had never payed attention to), i was mind blown. Read it like a prayer and spoke it into existence.

To be honest, i think all these started cause i had an honest conversation with myself

10
Told myself its Jesus or nothing cause if we’re not wrestling against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, i have to be ready at all times right? Besides, I wasn’t in Covenant University anymore (where it really helped with my spiritual life)

11
I was now on my own sort of, nobody to guide me through my spiritual life, so i needed to take charge of that. Besides, what is man without God?

I knew all these were taking place cause i had awakened and even had my personal time with God every night (9pm-9:30pm)

12
I mean, it seemed like stress at a point, I’d keep checking my phone to see if time had reached, but now, i do it so effortlessly. Lol.

I’m definitely not where i want to be, i still fall short sometimes but God has been great.

The name of Jesus is indeed a strong tower

Yh, this thread won’t be complete if I don’t say this

Come to Jesus today, he is the key to everything we want and need, its never too late.

God loves us way more than we can even begin to imagine and thats on PERIODT!
