When you are a child of God,you are in a battle with the Kingdom of darkness.
The Christian life is a daily battle with Satan's Kingdom and many weapons are used by the enemy to fight your walk with God.
This particular weapon that I want to talk about here is one that was once used on me by the enemy and I have noticed that he is oppressing many Christians in the same way,especially when they begin to pray fervently.
The other attack satan uses to discourage you from seeking God is by accusing you of being too much of a sinner,that God can't forgive you.This is a lie from satan.
As long as you have repented and asked the Lord for forgiveness,your sins are forgiven.
"If we confess our sins,He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."1 JOHN 1:9
"There is therefore no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus."ROMANS 8:1
When I came to the Lord,I began to seek Him in fervent prayer and in fasting.
I wanted the baptism of the Holyspirit and also to be close to God.
I did this with my brother and sister.
When I began engaging in fervent prayer,suddenly I began having blasphemous thoughts!
They just came from nowhere and would still come even if I tried to block them out.
It was as if someone just injected them in me.
At that time I didn't realise it was demons whispering those thoughts to me.
It was so oppressive, I found myself always muttering prayers of forgiveness even in my sleep.
I was always asking God for forgiveness.
They would come no matter what I did and even if I kept my mind busy,I just had no control over them and it began affecting my prayer life because I would be filled with guilt and satan would lie to me saying,"you have blasphemed against the Holy spirit, there's no forgiveness,you are doomed no matter how much you pray so just kill yourself."
I began believing those lies from the enemy.
I couldn't tell anyone because satan would lie to me,"no one will understand. You are the only one who goes through this. Dont even try to tell anyone."
So I kept it to myself and kept rebuking the thoughts and praying for forgiveness but the thoughts still kept coming,all the time,regardless of what I was doing!
When we had fasting prayers I would fast but think that am doomed,that I blasphemed,that there's no forgiveness.
Till one day I told my brother and sister only to discover that they were going through the same attack too,and satan was also lying to them that they are the only ones and shouldn't tell anyone!
We then realised it was an attack from satan . But despite knowing this ,I would still feel guilty and would still constantly ask for forgiveness because the attack continued.
On the day I received the Holyspirit baptism,the Lord told us what we had been going through was an attack from satan.
He told us,"You have not blasphemed against the Holyspirit. It's just an attack from satan. Demons whispered those things to you so you would think you ve blasphemed and think you are doomed and stop seeking Me.
He just wanted to discourage you from seeking me. Its all a lie,don't believe it. I am the Lord and I know the truth. Its not you,it's demons which whispered those things to you to discourage and oppress you."
After knowing this truth,the attacks continued but I stopped asking for forgiveness because I knew it was demons whispering those things and that the Lord knew the truth.
Sometimes I would forget and find myself feeling guilty but I would remember what the Lord said;it's Satan's weapon to discourage your walk with God. Then the guilt would go and I would ignore the thoughts.
Even when they came I would just go on with my life because I knew God knew the truth.
I stopped the prayers of forgiveness for this because I knew that's what the oppression was all about;for the demons to make me feel guilty with their accusations after they whisper those things to me.
After I stopped muttering the forgiveness prayers,after a while,I noticed that these attacks were gone!
THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.
If you have never gone through this attack you probably won't really understand what am talking about,but if you have gone through it or you are currently going through it,know this truth;it's not you. You have not blasphemed against the Holyspirit. The Lord knows the truth . Stop asking for forgiveness for this,it's hard to stop but you must stop.
The more you are doing the forgiveness prayers,the more the oppression will become.
Am not just saying this,am talking from experience and from what the Lord told me when He set me free.
Ignore the attacks,don't react to them by asking for forgiveness. Don't let them discourage you from seeking God.
Continue seeking God,you are a child of God and your Father understands.
