“But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you” (Matthew 10:19-20).
I received another visitation in a dream last night. The dream began with me walking into a woman’s home. And as I have grown accustomed, in these dreams, it was nighttime, despite being daytime. I knew the woman, and I have been to her home in the past. Although this place (whatever or wherever it was) had a familiarity reminiscent of her home, the surroundings were quite different; this was a dilapidated and desolate place. Neither the woman nor I spoke to one another, yet I knew to walk up the stairs to the second floor. So, up the stairs I went. Just a note to my readers who know me, I am not presently at liberty to disclose the woman’s identity.
Next, I was standing in the middle of a room on the second floor. I recall the woman standing off to the side, and there were several other people standing all around the room. The woman and I were the only actual human beings, all the others were demons manifesting as humans, as they frequently do to deceive people. The demons surrounded me, distorting their faces back and forth from human to inhuman. Full of the Spirit, I spoke boldly to them. I commanded them to return to the abyss, in the name of Jesus; in the name of the Lamb, I commanded them to return to hell. Then I abruptly woke.
“But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you” (Matthew 10:19-20). It was me, but it wasn’t me; it was the Holy Spirit; he was speaking through me. And I want to be crystal clear. I can’t understate my weakness and fear, nor can I overstate God’s power and absolute sovereignty; these beings tremble in fear before him. In fact, at one point, my flesh became so overwhelmed that I could no longer open my mouth to speak, yet the Spirit of God continued speaking that much more boldly through me. I remember being astonished, because I could hear myself speaking, but my mouth wasn’t moving. God was undeterred, and I felt his power. The demons had no choice but to comply.

Yes, God is more powerful than all the demons put together. You are surely right, we have no power. I will tell you what happened to me once. I met a young woman online by reading her blog. In her second post, she said she was a witch and belonged to a coven, but had begun to read the Bible.
I decided to pray for her. I opened my mouth to pray, but nothing came out. For the first time in my life, I could not pray for a person. I asked God what I should do. He told me, “Go get your Bible.” I ran to my bedroom and picked it up. I immediately began to pray for her. I wrote on my blog what happened, and she then deleted her blog. I hope she did that because she realized being a witch was wrong.

Amen. You cannot overstate Mighty God’s power. Even demons must flee before the name of Jesus.

I wish there was a way to private message you. God speaks to me in similar ways as He does with you, and I’ve never met anyone else with this gift who doesn’t abuse it or manipulate people with it… I will read more of your posts, but I’m curious if there is another way we could connect? I don’t share a lot of my spiritual encounters publicly, but if you have peace about it, I’d like to share some of mine with you, or maybe just learn from you? I love Jesus a lot, but I still experience spiritual attacks. I also struggle with keeping in step with Him, even though I talk to God several times a day. I seek Him like crazy, and I’m growing in my faith, but there is still some kind of hindrance. Maybe reading your posts will help me figure out what the hindrance is. I really appreciate your writing style and your honesty. I’m grateful to God that I found your blog page. I’ve been practicing intentional prayer today. The benefits have been great!

Hi Heidi. Are you on Facebook? My name is Jason Barnes, and you could send me a message via messenger. You’ll see my blog posts. I have them set to public. I can relate to what you said including the seeking as well as the hindrances. God has crossed my path with a couple people with similar experiences, and sharing has been very helpful.
