Defining Paranormal And Symptoms

SPEAKER_06 2:24

For many years you have lived with a deep fear of dying. It weighs heavily on your shoulders wherever you go, affecting your ability to breathe. When you hear about accidents, bad news, crimes, and tragedies, your heart races uncontrollably. More fears arise when being in the dark and alone. Nobody seems to understand what you're going through, but you're desperate for help. In order to cope with this anxiety, you go to the doctor for medication prescriptions. It helps for a few hours, but then you're back to square one. A perpetual state of panic attacks plagues you every day of your life. And you wonder when this will ever end before you're at the end of your rope.

SPEAKER_00 3:26

And this is how you feel you have this fear to sleep, panic attacks. They say that it is paranoia. It's like you feel somebody is always watching you. You are fearful of being alone or being by yourself. You are alone inside of the house, your bedroom, you have to keep the lights on. You do not feel safe, secure because of these panic attacks. Well, before we go into the story of uh Tasha, because she had these panic attacks. I have also Naftali, she has this letter. Somebody from Prisa wrote me a letter. You can also write me a letter. In a few I show to you how you can write me a letter. Let me help you. But right now we have Naftali, she has this letter.

Introducing Natasha’s Story

SPEAKER_04 4:37

From behind walls and locked doors, voices reach out with questions, testimonies, fears, and hope through letters. They are never trashed but always answered. That is why today we're going to be reading this letter that was sent to Bishop Bira Joshua. Keep in mind that all the letters are completely anonymous for your safety and for your privacy. That is why we're going to say that this letter is from Monica. Uh, Bishop is going to be giving his advice after we read this letter based on the question that was asked. It says like this Dear Bishop Bera Joshua, I am dealing with a demon spirit. I'll describe it to you. I'm not sure what it is. It could be more than one. I notice when I start asking God to remove it, it makes the air around me ice cold, and there's a pressure to it. Like I'm being squeezed, and my anxiety acts up too. It also has done inappropriate things to me. I won't go in detail. I was led to believe it was a loved one using astral projection to be with me, and I know now the truth, and it is not that. I've prayed and asked God to remove it, but it won't leave. I've prayed several times throughout my life, being incarcerated, and it's still there. It gets icy cold, and I can feel it breathing on me on my face. Its breath is also cold. I need prayer and I need lots of it. Just one prayer is not gonna work on this one. I believe intercessor prayer is what is needed. Thank you. Help. Bishop, this anime right here is going through paranormal activity and is asking for your advice because they have prayed and it's been many years with them in this situation. What would your advice be? I would also like to invite you that are watching this video to go ahead and send in a letter.

Keep in mind that Bishop Bera Joshua will be reading your letter and responding according to your needs.

10 symptoms of spiritual oppression.

Letters Of Transformation Segment

SPEAKER_03 7:50

My name is Tasha Bay. My main problem that brought me here to the Universal Church was anxiety and fear. This anxiety was controlling my life. I could not sleep. There were times I could not eat. I could not drive well. I had issues with driving over bridges. Um, it just got to the point where it was just consuming my life. I had no control over me. Like, the anxiety was so strong, it was as if my thoughts were controlling me. And I couldn't control them. So I couldn't control how I felt. I felt as if I was going to come out of myself. It was the worst feeling ever. It was horrible. The anxiety had consumed me so much that I was an introvert. I didn't socialize. I didn't really talk very much on the phone. I was in the house all the time. And it just consumed me. So I was unable to help my clients. It got to a point where I literally pulled myself out of that circuit. This anxiety had such a hold on me that nothing that I would take would help me. Nothing.

Nothing.

SPEAKER_03 9:28

I found out about the Universal Church ministry from BET. I was up late, as usual, anxiety, can't sleep, and a commercial came on and they started talking about the chain of prayers. I got up, I prepared myself, and I went to the 10 o'clock service, and my life has been totally different ever since. My first impression was a very that it was a very quaint, very um strong environment. And my life is totally different. I have such a peace that is over me. I can literally feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, feel the presence of God. When I lay down in my bed at night, it is the most peaceful thing ever. And I have I cannot ever remember being able to sleep that well in peace. I invite you all to please come to the Universal Church. It's worked for me. It is working for me, and it will continue to work for me. It is a very powerful spiritual environment, one that is needed all over the world. And I just thank the Universal Church for being here for me. Because if not, I don't know where I would be or who I would be.

SPEAKER_00 11:21

You are going to overcome it as well. You are going to be set free, completely free once and for all. The scripture says, Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. God is with you, and this evil that is upon your life will be removed. You can get now your cap of order. This is now the moment for the prayer.

SPEAKER_00 12:24

I pray to you right now and I ask you, Father God, bless, consacrate this water as a holy remedy to wash away all evil from their lives. Amen. Drink now three sips of your water. Go ahead. The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Drink your water, amen. Praise God. Right now raise your hands to heaven. Oh God Almighty, in the name of Jesus. I ask you to bless these hands for deliverance. Now place your hands on top of your head, both your hands on top of your head. Close your eyes. In the name of Jesus. The spirit of fear. The panic attacks. The fear upon the life of dispersion. I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. And I command you to live disperser. I command you to live this body. This person is afraid of driving. Is afraid of leaving their house. This person is afraid of sleeping. Dispersa is in the valley, the shadow of death. I rebuke you, evil spirit, in this name, in the name of Jesus, and you cannot resist the power of God. Over the prison at home, you are the one that attacks dispersal inside of the bedroom. I command you to leave dispersed. Now you say after me, in Jesus' name, say all evil in my life or my ways, you say all evil in Jesus' name. Breathe now in and out. Amen. Praise God. Once again, you read it over there. Psalms 283, when he said, Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are who is me. What you just read is over there. Psalms 283, verse 4. This is what you have to do. Repeat it. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. Do not fear no evil, because the Lord is with you.
