Spiritual Warfare is in EVERYTHING!
In this episode titled "Spiritual Warfare is in EVERYTHING!", Brea and Chrysta dive deep into the reality of spiritual warfare in our everyday lives. From subtle challenges like technology glitches and online negativity to more overt incidents like road rage, they want you to know you're not crazy—spiritual warfare is real, and it’s everywhere. Join them as they discuss how to recognize and combat these daily battles, and why it's so important to stay grounded in faith through it all.
Spiritual warfare can come in so many different ways Family, friends, co-workers, strangers, road rage is spiritual warfare within itself. The only person I can speak with is God. Right, he made it clear, like you know, this is spiritual warfare, right, if you're not praying and believing in what you're praying, then it's hard to break it in the spirit, Like, god is always going to hear our prayers, but he wants us to step out of faith. God assures us that he will protect us through it. All Right, but also we have to do our part. We have to be to him, lean, not to our own understanding. Pray the blood over us. Pray the blood over us. Unscripted, unrehearsed and unplugged conversations with your sisters in the spirit. Welcome to godly sisters. Hi, welcome to godly sisters. I'm your host, brita marcel, and this is my lovely co-host, kristaa Camila, aka Texas West. Hi. So today we are talking about engaging through spiritual warfare, through prayer and also Psalms 91, the Bible, using the Bible for spiritual warfare, yes, so our first topic is understanding warfare, spiritual warfare, right, right, so it says. The question is what constitutes spiritual warfare and how does it manifest in our lives and communities? Today, I'm going to let you take this one Honestly spiritual warfare can come in so many different ways. It can come through your mind. They said that the mind is a battlefield. Bible says the mind is a battlefield and the enemy can invade in truths with thoughts and thoughts that are not of god. Um, it can come through, uh, the people that you associate with family, friends, co-workers, strangers, people that you don't drive with on the road. Road rage is spiritual warfare within itself. It can come through a lot of different things. It can even come through technology. Yes, I mean even us trying to set this up and do the production for this. We had some spiritual warfare. We had to pray against technology because the enemy did not want us to do that. So spiritual warfare can come in many different ways, but it's important for us to be able to know how spiritual warfare and understanding how spiritual warfare works, so that we know how to combat it while it's happening, instead of being like, oh dang, that was the enemy or that was, you know, the inner me that was fighting against myself or causing self-sabotage or whatever. So, yeah, and I just want to give like a real life example, just in a small minute type of thing, that happened Okay, but it still happened and I still had the engage and I did not quote unquote. That's my blessing, okay.
Brea:So one day I was going shopping with my mom and I had my youngest son with me and she decided she was like oh, you want to get coffee? I'm like, yeah, let's get it. I was going to pay and you know it's a big deal when you with your mom. So I was like, oh, hey, so sorry. So we get to the window and as we're at the window, I remember like hey, I got points. Um, hey, I got points.
Brea:So I'm asking the guy because we ordered, like just a lot of like things or whatever. So I'm like what are you these points towards? I'm just like asking. And he's like he doesn't really understand what I'm saying. I guess not, I'm not sure, but I'm just like, yeah, how can, how can I use these points?
Brea:And I don't really come here and literally out of nowhere, the manager walks up to the front window and just like, oh, he's not understanding what you're asking.
Brea:It's not a big deal, you're okay. I'm like no, I'm just like, I'm okay. Like you made what? And like the fleshly me wants to. Like who are you talking to? Like who are you dealing with.
Brea:Like I wanted to meet her where she's at, but it was just like this has nothing to do with me and her. This is a spirit that's in them, like I'm like I'm going to have a wonderful day with my mom and my kid. We're just going to enjoy this. And I didn't want to match her energy because I don't know what her energy is coming from, right, right. So it gets me jumping back at her, as my flesh wanted to do, because I'm not a punk, right, that's annoying. I'm not a punk. I could not meet her there because I don't know what god has in store for me and I'm not gonna let them block me.
Brea:And when I say them, then the person and the spirits that are working within them. So I just come, like I'm gonna stuff. I say you know what I am. Okay, it's fine, I'll use these points another day. It's not a big deal. I'm gonna go off and enjoy my day, my day. But you're at work, man. I'm just saying I mean, because when I'm mad at work, that's so sad. When I'm mad at work, I close my laptop, whatever I don't know. But I just have to like okay, lord, don't worry.
Brea:And after that we reprayed because we already prayed, you know, before we got on the road. But it's like, oh no, I'm not going to deal with this type of spirit because that same spirit can find me again. Right, because that spirit wanted me to engage, because I literally did nothing. Right, I did nothing. And that's something that we have to be aware of is going back to that awareness, because the enemy doesn't have access to our actual thoughts, like he can't hear our thoughts. He can hear what we speak, right, but he does have access to our emotions and a lot of the time he will try to evoke our emotions through other people. Yes, so it's so. Let's say, if she did act it through her flesh, then he engaged the thoughts, engaged, uh, uh, what am I trying to say? Engaged the spirit within that person and operated to invoke her emotions and piss her off, and then she would have reacted and possibly lost her blessing or lost at least her, her, um, joy that she had for that day already, because you had equipped yourself to have joy just being a christian.
Brea:It's a guilt, right, like I? I know I supposed to present myself a certain way. As best as I can, I try to move in as fruits of the spirit right as as possible. So what if someone is looking up to me and my question why? But they see me acting, a folk that I let my flesh take over, and then it's just like a guilt. I know I know a lot of us feel that like why did I let that man make me mad? Why did I let that person make me mad? I'll never see this person again. But they done really stopped my day and it done turned into a thing and I'm like I don't even know this person. Or like you, still walking around hours later, like why am I mad, why am I upset? Or why do I feel this way?
Brea:It makes me defensive to others, like, oh well, she kind of sounds like the other one, so it's just, you could have went the rest of the day, uh, matching her energy and giving it to other people, or letting that spirit find me again. Oh, yeah, exactly. So it's just like oh, this is a different day, I just need to go home and reset. Yup, you know, because we have those days too. It's like why is everybody? Oh, this is a different day, I just need to go home and reset. Yeah, you know, because we have those days too, it's like why is everybody bothering me? Like this is a crazy day, right, I need to just reset, I just need to go sleep, right, that's spiritual warfare.
Brea:Exactly so, to equip yourself with spiritual warfare, one of the scriptures that we pointed out is Ephesians 6 and 12. Yes, for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. And Ephesians 6 is just critical in general, like that goes from when you going out in a day to when you going to sleep at night. We have to put on the whole armor of God it is crazy out in a day to when you going to sleep at night. We have to put on the whole armor. Yes, it is crazy out in these streets, so you have to armor yourself. Like, of course, in the physical, we have to be wise and use wisdom right to be careful and have our head on the swivel. But in the spiritual realm as well, we have to put on the whole armor of god, from your chest plate of righteousness to your sword of the spirit, to your boots of peace, your belt of truth, your helmet of salvation and your shield of faith. You have to stay equipped, yes, so we just need to be mindful.
Brea:And just daily struggles, not just the attacks that go bump at the night, but also just like daily struggles because and it's funny, I used to say this to my son he'll ask me to pray for him at night because he'll, you know, he's scared of the dark. And I'll say this he can't act like a devil all day. I asked him what To wrap you at night. I was like you been partying with the devil all day when the sun was out. Now, as many times as you tuck your neck, you won't clean your room. Now, all of a sudden, no, now you want to part. Oh, now, you love Jesus. So we just have to. Just that's why he says pray without ceasing. Right, this is a continuous thing, right, so we have to constantly put on our whole armor through prayer. And then that segues into the next one, the power of prayer. What does prayer serve? Serve as a potent weapon in spiritual warfare, in the schemes of the enemy?
Brea:I have something to tell you on this one. Not too long ago, it was an anniversary of some things that happened that you know, were traumatizing, right? And I'm just like, oh, where are all these thoughts coming from? Are they? Are they are you? They come from you, right? Or Lord, are you telling me, like, is this you're trying to, you know, show me the way, or is this?
Brea:I was just asking, lorde, like, yeah, um, so it was just like an anniversary of trauma, right, and the anniversary I'm like, lorde, is this. Are you trying to let me know, like this is what's happening? Or like, are you trying to warn me, or is this trauma like resurfacing, because the enemy knows that this is an anniversary of that specific situation? And so I'm like, what do I do? Do I need to keep my mouth shut? Should I act on it? Should I like, how should I handle this?
Brea:And I remember I was just in the room praying and I was like didn't I warn you before? If that was happening, I would have warned you again. If that was gonna happen again, I would have warned you. Oh, like the trauma was gonna happen again. Yeah, I would have warned you, okay, because he spoke to me the first time, mm-hmm. And he was like boom, boom, boom, bam. I know exactly what it is, mm-hmm. This sounded like is it me or is this you Right? But I realized it was the enemy trying to play into my emotions, like you said once before. But I wouldn't have never found that out, because when I tell you the enemy, he was just like using technology.
Brea:All of a sudden, I'm getting TikToks and Insta messages and my friends are calling me with similar situations and just all those type of things that make you say, ok, was all this coming to me for it? And it's funny because I have a very close family member that I've been praying through some things and me reaching out to her and her reaching out to me for prayer was actually healing my heart and he really spoke to me. The whole spirit was like I told you before I wouldn't have told you. If that's something anymore, it ain't nothing to worry about. You're good, you passed the test. Right Now it's for you to pull back and reach back and help somebody that is now currently going through it.
Brea:So I was like, lord, is it this? Because it got to the point where I didn't even want to answer the phone. So I'm like, is that spirit coming to me now? Like am I picking up their trauma and putting it on me? Right? So, but when I start really praying and seeking his face about and asking direct questions or give me clarity, tell me what's going on, tell me he literally was like grab and tell him he wasn't listening. Yeah, because I'm trying to figure it out on my own, right, right, so, so you know we have to constantly, because the devil got straight there. Now I don't know if you guys just got rid of what I said.
Brea:The devil was tricking me through an anniversary of trauma and also letting people around me go through those things and reach out to me for guidance and prayer. Mm, hmm, and it started playing with my mind and my in my life, right, and I'm being torn in excitedly because I don't want to speak that over my life, right, right, so I'm just like I can, the only person I can speak with God, right, so he, he made it clear like, oh, this is spiritual, what, right, yeah, and I was going to say, like, for me, you get, we can go, like, when it comes to prayer, at the end of it, you just have to believe. Yes, you have to believe, like, and it sounds so easier said than done, but you just have to have faith in what you pray. And it wasn't no begging thing. Like I know, we talked about it before in the episode on, like knowing how to pray, um, and that's uh, I want to say it's episode five, uh, the seven deadly fears. So go back and listen to that to hear more in detail. But like we have to pray in decree, I think, and we have to say that it is done and we have to know that it is done because we prayed it and also we're using the words of god to to speak prayer.
Brea:So this book, I'm gonna promote this book. We ain't we ain't getting no type of sponsorship, but this book is amazing. It's called prayers that work by, uh, kevin l a ewan, and he speaks using in this book a lot of the prayers have scriptures to back it up. It literally says use the scriptures that bring change. This is how prayers work.
Brea:And so when I say that scripture and I say my memory is blessed and the same angels that you have in Psalms 91 fighting on my behalf, I'll call on thosems 91 fighting on my behalf. I'll call on those angels to fight on my behalf so I can remember my dream. And it's important to remember our dream, because that is another spiritual tactic that the enemy uses to attach himself to us. Um, through dreams, if you're eating things, if you're, if a dog is chasing you or a snake or like, all of this stuff actually has meaning, there are symbols to it. So you can be coming into covenant with a thing and you don't even know at all, and then or you can't remember you did or you can't remember that you did. So that's why I call on my memory and I use scripture and I pray so that I can, I can give my memory back and I can renounce those covenants that I might've made in my dream, knowingly or unknowingly, or I can come into agreement with a God dream. God may send me a dream and give me warning or give me foresight of what's gonna happen in the future, so I can come into agreement with what he said. So that's on the, I would would say, less urgent scale.
Brea:On the urgent scale I had and I feel like I did share this in a previous episode but my baby was attacked by the enemy in a time where I was disappointed and I was upset with god, and in that attack I fell on my knees and I started to pray and in that that moment, my prayers wasn't working and I didn't understand why my prayers wasn't working. So I called my dad and I'm like daddy and I'm hysterical. I'm like daddy, I need you to pray. It's something attacking. He can't say Jesus, and so he trying to pray on speakerphone and it's going out Lord help. And I'm like daddy, I can't hear you. And so then he was like calm down, go to your prayer closet, play some worship music. I'm going to call you back. So maybe 20 minutes go by.
Brea:By this time my husband got home. I'm trying to tell him what's happening. Things are a little bit more calm, but my baby's still acting the same way. He was scared, he didn't want to be alone, he didn't want you know to to go anywhere without us. He's been saying that it's a monster in his room all day, right? And so then, as I'm talking to my husband, he goes out of nowhere. He goes daddy, you want to go play? And he was like, yeah, but I'm talking to mommy, right? And he was like, okay, I'm gonna play. And he just got down and ran to his room by himself and I'm like, oh heck, no, it took over my baby because he's been attached to me all day. Who are you? Who are you? Where are you from, right? So now I'm really freaked out. And so then my dad calls, maybe a minute later. He's like, how is he acting? I'm like daddy, daddy, he freaking me out, like he just went to the room and he want to play. He was like no, that's him.
Brea:I felt it break in the spirit. He was like when I was praying I saw a vision that something, whatever it was attached to him, it ran out of y'all house. He was like it broke in the spirit and he was like but, krista, you didn't believe. He was like I don't know what's going on with you, but you did not believe your prayers. That's why I had to get off the phone with you. It wasn't working because you was not believing in what you were saying and that was only because I had went through that little tat with God. He never left me, but I left him. Okay, so and so it.
Brea:I say all of that to say that if you're not praying, then it's. If you're not praying and believing in what you're praying, then it's hard to break it in the spirit, like god is always gonna hear our prayers, but he wants us to step out of faith and know that our belief and our faith in him is 100 right, and so he, so he's never going to just forsake us. But we have to take the extra step to actually believe in what he says. Right and it says. It always says it in his word, like everything that we need prayers for is in his word. So if you don't know how to pray, one, this book is a great beginner book if you're trying to learn how to pray. But also like we got to stay in our words so that we can use the word of God in our prayers to combat the enemy. Right, and that's a good segue into the promises God's promises of protection, and the thing about it is is that God assures us that he will protect us through it.
Brea:All Right, but also we have to do our part. We have to lean to him, lean not to our own understanding. Pray the blood over us, take the blood over us, daily, walk with us. We pray, not only we. I feel like the body of Christ. Right now we're in a season of just oh Lord, give me favor, give me prosperity, give me prosperity, give me this, this, this, but also, with all those blessings, what they're saying more money, more problems, new levels, new devils. You also have to be praying and pleading the blood not over just you, over your children, over your home, anointing your home, protecting your home, calling his angels down, using his word once again against him, saying Lord, you said that you will be our strong tower, so I need you to be our strong tower. That's what we have to remain to do, because in this world right now, it is crazy.
Brea:Y'all, y'all, just not even when you're just thinking about the political things. You're not just thinking about political things. You're thinking about just prices, inflation, just the wars, just all these things that's going on. Natural disasters, you hear about trafficking, you hear about drugs, one-time use, you just being around and sniffing, and then even just like some of the malls are crazy, like, even, just like attacking our children, just all these different things are happening. When that rocket going up, I'll try to go to malls or something. I ain't try to be here at Earth. I didn't see that Because they messed up more. If they messed up Earth, they can mess up Mars. So let that trumpet just go.
Brea:But then, too, it's like you're so distracted with life, like it's sometimes, that you just have to remind yourself to be there with God too. Right, like, oh, yeah, god, I'm so sorry I've been so swamped, but you need to just be there with him. And, like I said, we, unfortunately, how they teach you to be a Christian is like every time you have to throw yourself down on your knees and say, oh, dear Lord, heavenly Father, no, sometimes you have to say, lord, I need you right now, lord, I need you. Lord, give me strength, lord, lord, give me peace. Lord, give me strength, lord, lord, give me peace, jesus wept. If I'm there, jesus wept, and I'm waking right now and I'm like teacher, lord, help me Jesus, help me, lord, I need a nap. Jesus, help me, lord, let me get up under your wings, like you say, lord.
Brea:So just things of that nature and the scripture that we have to back that over, uh, to back that up, is psalms 91, 1 and 2 whoever dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the almighty, I will say of the lord. He is my refuge, he is my fortress, my god, who I trust. Yes, so you just have to remember those simple things. And if you can't remember, it in is Bible apps, write them down, put them around your mirror in the morning, have you write those affirmations? You know how you do those affirmations. Like I'm the first family millionaire that should be right next to it. I have shelter under the most high Mm-hmm. Ok, he is my fortress Because, guess what, you're going to be the first millionaire but you also will have a lot of deals that come with that. So also, it's not just always be the outsiders trying to steal your money or the scammers that's trying to steal your money. It's going to be family members. They don't think that you deserve it, that bar. They don't think that they have to give it back. Right, because she got it, he got it. Right, because she got it, he got it. They're okay. But now you're going to have to come to terms with that and be okay with that Right, and still see that family member and still show them the grace of God and love Period.
Brea:Our next point of topic is overcoming fear and anxiety. Question is how can believers overcome fear and anxiety through the promises of psalm 91 in the midst of spiritual warfare and honestly, that goes by just knowing, like, if I have this fear, what can replace this fear? And it's faith, yes, it's faith in knowing that god has us and like he wants us to be able to keep the fruit to the spirit or be joyous in hard times, like finding that little glimpse of hope, that little glimpse of light through him. And I know it sounds so simple, but it's like you can't say that when people are grieving, like you can't say that when people are grieving, like you can't say that when you know it just seems like the world around you is just collapsing. I get it Like we're human right, but at the same time we know that there is a good God and he's always going to use whatever is getting us down, whichever is making us sad or having despair. He's going to use it for his good. He's going to be able to strengthen you in an area that maybe you didn't know, that you need the strength for, and we have to overcome fear and anxiety by knowing whose we are. Yeah, it's fun.
Brea:I had a doctor's appointment a while ago and I don't know. I've shared this with you before. Right, I've on around my. Yeah, so check some other episodes. I'm not sure if people know, but when I was eight months pregnant with my youngest son, I had brain aneurysm and it occurred on the outside of my brain that actually deals with my speech, and thank God that I still have my speech. Hey, y'all and um, I still have to like get tested and things of that nature, right.
Brea:And it was this beautiful elderly woman. We were there for the same test and we're just in a waiting room. We're like in our scrubs and everything, just waiting on them to come and get us, and so we're just talking. They're taking forever, so we're just talking, right, and at that time my babies are in the car with my mom, so I'm just like waiting on my husband's at work. So I'm like, okay, well, we're just talking about it, amy, and everything. And so she.
Brea:So she was like so you're so young, why are you here? And I'm like, oh, and I'm just telling her like oh, yeah, I had a brain freeze and it caused seizures. I was like what? And just like I'm telling her like all my little, like mom conditions, right. And she's like what? Oh no, and you can just tell, like her thinking I'm just going to say like something small, I guess. And she was like like her face literally like turned and she felt so sad for me Girl, don't be sad. I'm like I'm good, I'm here, I'm talking to you, I'm working. I'm like I'm good, I'm here, I'm talking to you, I'm working, I'm like I'm here.
Brea:And I was like girl there's a lot of people that went through way less and not here, right, and I can speak, I can talk, I can thrive, I can do a lot of things that they didn't know and they told my husband and my parents like I don't know, you know, we'll just see what happened. They, they couldn't really tell it. So I'm like no, don't feel that way. And she was just like, how can you be so positive? You're so young? And I was like, because this way, it's like, but that's the worst thing, and I'm just grateful for what I have and what I've been through, because this is going to be a testimony to somebody right, that they can make it.
Brea:And god is still using me, right, because I don't think yet exactly, and so, but it's the faith, um, and I didn't start with that thing I had to have to build. I had to build that faith through my relationship with the lord right, and so I had to overcome that fear, because I did really struggle with anxiety and fear because it's like I don't want my kids to grow up with me and things of that nature, just natural things that you think of, right. But however, god has kept me and he wakes me up daily. So I just stay in thankfulness, thanksgiving of my heart and my spirit, and also I built that faith with him where I just I know back to protection, he's going to protect me, right? He wouldn't take me this far just to drop me and say, well, that was her life. No, he promises that we will have a long life. He promises that in his word. He promised that he would give the desires of our heart and he knows my desires is to see my great-grandchild Right, and not in the sky, but here, right in the physical. So he's gonna give me that and, like I said, it wasn't easy, even when I'm in the storm or going through the storm or in the thick of it. All right, it wasn't easy, but I did it because I had to. What's? What's the alternative? Roll over and die? No, give it to the devil for what. I need it. I had to. What's the alternative? Roll over and die, right, give it to the devil for what? For what Right? So we just have to be mindful of that.
Brea:Oh, and also Psalms 91. Play that at night. They have so many videos on YouTube. Play it at night. You see, she leaves her Bible open. I leave my Bible to size 91. We need to do that and that's the scripture that we tie with this.
Brea:Psalm 91, five through six, you will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stops in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday". And that and like this, is something that I go to pretty much on a daily, because you know, you see all the stuff that's happening in the Middle East, like it's just, it's a lot, it is a lot to date. In Like, sometimes I get on social media, I see everything that's going on and like, yeah, I know that the way that the world is set up, we are in the end days, we're in the in the last evil days, rumors of wars, we see wars, we see all this stuff happening and it's enough to scare you and just want you to just have that fear or that worry that is gonna touch your home, yeah, that is gonna. It's gonna touch your family, that's gonna touch your friends and around your area. But ultimately, every time when that fear or that worry tries to overcome me, I say I recite this prayer because I believe that and I know that he will protect and I know that he will protect my family and anybody who I'm in association with. Like it, don't go just to me and my circle. I'm like anybody that I just met on the street right. Protect them just because they came, because they came across me. I know that you love me that much, just to protect somebody that I just said hello to on the street Right. And so we got to have that type of faith and that type of belief in knowing that he will keep us and he will protect us. But, like the three Hebrew boys said, but even if he don't, I'm still going to serve him. Right, I will still serve him and I will never bow to another god. Right, because I know who my god is. Yes, okay, so, sheesh, yeah, I know. Right, that was, that was, that was good. Um.
Brea:It says, uh, a quick about how can believers actively engage in spiritual warfare, using god's word as a weapon to combat, uh, to combat spiritual strongholds and deceptions? Uh, and then our solution is just renewing your mind of scripture, praying and aligning with god's will and standing firm against, uh spiritual attacks. You have to have a boldness, a level of boldness against the enemy, because they will boldly come against you. You know how you had all that boldness when they tried you at the club. Try that boldness when the devil is attacking your heart, when the devil is attacking your family, when the devil is attacking your friends, when it's attacking your marriage, your children. Have a boldness, your household have that same boldness and you stand up and be courageous like I don't know if god's gonna sex no, he will, but you have to call on him and his warning right. Have that bold boldness even with uh warlocks, uh witches and all that, because we know that those things right now are very prevalent, like people are running to different sidekicks, different warlocks and everything like that. It's a miracle, it's astrology and all that stuff and all that. But we have to be bold when we're coming to God against these things, because sometimes it is people that you know that are attacking you for jealousy, envy and things of that nature Right, but it's, you know, that are attacking you for jealousy, envy and things of that nature, right, but it's also people that are attacking you that you have no idea who they are, why they're doing it, what are they getting out of this? And we have to be just as both. And, speaking of that, we also Christians do not be afraid to prayer, to pray.
Brea:109. 109. Psalms 109. Girl, yeah, hold up, because let me say this before you read it, because I know you know how they'll be like oh, the Lord will the what's the scripture? I can't remember the exact scripture, but it said the Lord will make your enemies your footstool. I remember I'll be praying and that will come to mind. I'm like boy, well, you ain't got to make my footstool. Like, just give them grace, god. Yeah, give them mercy, god, change their heart. And I will literally pray for people who pray on my downfall, who pray evil things amongst me, onto me or my family, or on my children. I don't pray mercy, no more, because they don't have no mercy and no compassion for you and if not them, it's hysteria. So we gotta pray against them, like we pray against the enemy, because that is the enemy. So when it comes down to it, like Psalms 1 or not, come on, you got it. I'm not going to pray the whole thing, but I know this was the part. The first time I ever prayed it I was like I'm not saying that, that's just, that's a lot. That is a lot, that is a lot.
Brea:So it says may his children be fatherless, his wife be a widow. Next chapter Hold on. It says next oh, thank you. So it says next chapter let his children continuously be a vagabond and beg. Let them seek their bread also from death to live place like come on, oh my jesus, let his creditor seize all he has. Let strangers thunder his labor, let their hell that fuck. Let there be none to extend mercy to him, nor let any favor be to him and his fatherless children". Like God ain't playing, he don't play about you. God is not praying about his children.
Brea:So we got to be bold enough to pray. These people, these witches, these war, these warlocks, whatever new age, whatever you want to call them. They are bold enough to pray against us dead. Uh, they want us to be broke. They want us to, uh, be in covenant with spirit spouses they want us to be. They do all of this stuff to attack us and we sitting up here saying, lord, let's.
Brea:Yes, there are some enemies that we are supposed to be. That wasn't any of us. But then there are some that we got. It's just some that we have to war in the spirit again, exactly, and that we have to call God, and his just is not our just. That's why, when people say, oh, only God can judge me, you don't want God to judge you, because I know I have prayed for my enemies and I have seen them and I'm like God, they only did this to me. Why would you do that to them? Right, and I'm really praying like, ooh Lord, please, bless them, please, please, please, just have mercy on them, please. I'm sorry, lord, have some mercy. Can I do a take back? Right, can I do a take back? So those are the things.
Brea:But we also he gave us this word to know how to warn the spirits, but we have to use the word against our enemies. That's what it's for. It's simple, that's what it's for. And, like I said, when I first read that scripture, I mean that chapter and you was like ew, I was like this is a lot. I'm not saying that. But the more and more that spiritual attack, I had to get that boldness in me because it was attacking everything around me and I cannot suffer that. I will not suffer that for anyone. And also, you have to realize these are coming from people that heart has been hurt, right, that they have no, they're wicked. They're wicked and it's some of them that will be changed, but it is some of them that will never change, right, you know? That's why the Bible also tells us to not give prayers to the swine. Don't pass your prayers to the swine, because it is some people that you will never reach and it's unfortunate and it hurts your heart, but it's just what it is. So we'll just pray for them, bless them, but if they keep coming, hey, he's going to get this word, you're going to get this word. He told us what to do, so we got to do it, right, right, and another scripture to go with that is 2 Corinthians 10, 4-5.
Brea:The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine powers to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretense that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And that's as simple as that. Sometimes I even use that prayer when my thoughts are intrusive, or if the enemy has put an intrusive thought, I say that same as I demolish every argument, every pretense that sets itself against the knowledge of God. And we have to do that, like we have to stay ten toes down, we have to, we have to, we have to. We have no choice.
Brea:And the thing about this is that that's a great way to, but I know everybody can't remember scripture, so I know sometimes I'll just say a quick prayer like Lord, if any of these thoughts are not yours, remove them now. Right, any feelings that I'm having is not from you. Remove them now and then. Or and I it's been many times like I had a spirit of heaviness. Or they have so many prayers, um, a good, uh war, uh, warfare prayer. Oh, sydney tram, sydney tram, y'all. She has like a 30 minute Sydney Tramp. I put those on also, so like, but it's many people like yes, it's a lot of warfare prayers.
Brea:Listen to them first. Don't just put them on and be like, yeah, I agree to everything. No, actually listen to what you're listening to, because the enemy is conning, he's very conning. He's not just gonna be like, oh, let me put on this eight hours and then they'll put, put it, they'll slip something in there, cause they know you're not listening to the whole eight hours, right, but put on like with people that you trust, put it on.
Brea:Pray, that's and that's. If you don't know what to pray, lord, give me what to say. Read your Bible, he will. He will help your vocabulary, right, he will give. Sometimes I pray and I don't even know what to pray, just like sometimes I have fasted and I don't know what I'm fasting, lord, but guess what? He will reveal it to me why I'm fasting, because I'm making that sacrifice for him. So he knows my heart wants that.
Brea:So we just have to constantly seek his faith. Y'all Seek his faith. David was not perfect, but he constantly. He wanted to please God, a man at the God's own heart, right, that's constantly just trying. Our best isn't gonna always be our best to us, right, but it is perfect to him because our heart postures are correct, right. So we just have to remember that. Like, don't just constantly seek your mind and your heart portion to be correct. And I ask him to renew my spirit, my mind, every day. Holy Spirit, you are welcome. And in closing, we have to remember that at the end of the day, it's already written that Christ has victory. The battle is already won. Yes, the battle is already won.
Brea:Yes, and that's why you do see so much happening in the world is because the devil is just trying to do any last little things that he can do before he is completely defeated. He already know that he's defeated and now he's actually coming to his demise. So he's trying to do Throw in a temper tantrum, like, take everybody and take as much as he can with him. He's trying to take as much as he can because you have to realize that he was not created for us. He was created for him and the demons that follow, the angels that follow him, the fallen angels that follow him, but now attacking us because God loves us so much and we are his creation that he literally made in his own image. So he wants to take us. He wants to take as many as he can of his children to hell with him. It was not created for us, but he will make you think he's the king of blots, that he's going to take you with him, that you will have all these riches and great things. But it's not true. He will never share his kingdom Because he the king of lies, he's a source of all evil, all wickedness. So we just have to stay mindful of that and God's children that love and serve and adore you, that he's constantly attacking you and it's not fair. It's not always like, yeah, I'm a super christian. No, that's just how. That's why you have to keep the word in your heart, so those days that you aren't feeling like a super christian, you can just pour his word, and you can. You can just ask for strength. You can ask for that in abiding prayer. So these are just the things that we just want to say. Thank you for joining us.
