Combat in the Heavenly Realm at some level DOES involve hand to hand combat between Satanic messengers and messengers {angels} of Yah but most of the time the battle is through spreading of lies, sin, etc versus spreading of truth

Speaking of curses versus speaking of blessings

Binding and casting out demons versus loosing and assigning of demons

etc

I want to share with you from a testimony of someone who was saved, someone who had been serving the devil. And when that man gave his testimony, it so challenged me, I did not want to believe it. I had to go ten days before Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord} in fasting, asking Him, “Father {Lord}, is this true?” And it was at that time Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord} began to teach me what happens in the spiritual realm when we pray.

This man was born after his parents dedicated themselves to Lucifer. When he was still in the womb, they made so many rituals dedicating him to serve Lucifer. When he was four years old, he began to exercise his spiritual power. And his parents began fearing him. When he was six years, his father surrendered him to the witches to go and be trained. And by ten years, he was doing great things in the kingdom of the devil. He was feared by the normal witches. He was still a young boy, but he was so terrible in the things he did. He grew up to be a young man in his twenties with so much bloodshed on his hands. Killed at will. He had the ability to go out of his body through transcendental meditation. And he could levitate.

Sometimes his body would lift off the ground and stay in the air. And sometimes he could go into a trance, and come out of his body; his body would remain behind, and he would go out into the world, called astral-travelling. And this guy was used by Satan to destroy so many assemblies {churches}, to break down so many assemblies {churches} and to destroy so many shepherds {pastors}.

One day, he was assigned to destroy a assembly {church} that was so full of prayer. There were so many divisions in this assembly {church}, and so many confusions. And he began to work on this assembly {church}. But at that time, the shepherd {pastor} called a fast for the whole assembly {church}. And the assembly {church} began to fast, and during the fasting, there was a lot of repentance and a lot of reconciliation. And the people came together, and they began to pray for the work of Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord} in their midst. And they continued interceding and crying to the Almighty {God} to have mercy and intervene in their lives.

And as they days went by, this man was coming again and again with demon spirits against this assembly {church}. But there was a word of prophecy that came telling the believers {Christians} to rise up and to wage warfare against the powers of darkness that were attacking the assembly {church}. So one day, this man leaves his body in his room and goes astal-travelling. And leads a mighty force of demonic spirits against this assembly {church}. Now this is his testimony. He was moving in the spirit in the air over the assembly {church} and they were trying to attack, but there was a covering of light over the assembly {church}.

And suddenly, there was an army of messengers {angels} that attacked them and there was fighting in the air, and all the demons fled, but he was arrested.

Arrested by whom? The messengers {angels}! And he saw himself being held by about six messengers {angels}, and they brought him through the roof right before the altar. And there he was. And the people were praying. They were deep in prayer in spiritual warfare, binding and breaking and casting out. And the shepherd {pastor} was on the platform leading the prayers and the warfare. And the Spirit of Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord} spoke to the shepherd {pastor}, and said, “The yoke has been broken, and the victim is there before you. Help him through deliverance.” And he opened his eyes and he saw this young man, who had collapsed there. His body was with him. He was in his body.

The young man says he doesn't know how his body joined him; he had left it in his house. But there he was in his body, and he didn't know how he had entered in except the messenger {angel} had carried him through the roof. Now these things are difficult to believe, but the shepherd {pastor} silenced the assembly {church} and told the assembly {church} what Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord} had told him and asked the young man, “Who are you?”  The young man was trembling, and the demons began coming out of him. So they prayed for deliverance, and afterwards, he began to share his life.

That young man has now come to Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord} and is now an evangelist, preaching the good news {Gospel}. And he is being used by Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord} mightily in setting other people free in the ministry of deliverance. But one night, I went to a dinner, and the sole reason I went is that someone told me about this young man, and I was so curious to see him. So I sat at that dinner and some time in the evening, this man was given the chance to give his testimony. And he talked about so many things. Sometimes he cried because of the things he did. And then as he finished, he made an appeal. There were so many shepherds {pastors} in that room.

And he said, ”I appeal to you, shepherds {pastors}. Please teach the people how to Pray.”

The people who don't pray can be taken in anything, in anything by the devil, and there are ways that the enemy exploits their lives and their prayers. People who don't know how to pray, they literally pray, and the enemy knows even how to exploit their prayers. We're going to talk about that. And he also said to the shepherds {pastors}, “Teach the people how to use the spiritual armour that the Almighty {God} provides.”

Then he began to give a testimony of how he used to lead expositions into the air. He would go with other satanic agents and lots of demon spirits into the air. It was like a shift, you've got to go and work your shift.

So regularly he had a time he had to go and wage war in the Heavenlies. And he said that in the Heavenlies, in the spiritual realm, if the land is covered under the blanket of darkness, that blanket is so thick, it is like a rock. And it covers the whole area. And these spirits are able to go on top of this as well as below this blanket. And from that level, they influence the events on earth.

Both evil spirits and human agents that are serving the devil and when they leave their shifts they go down on earth at the points of covenant, even waters or on the land at the points of covenant for refreshing of their spirit. And how do they refresh their spirit? By the sacrifices that people give at these altars. They could be sacrifices in open witchcraft; they could be sacrifices in bloodshed of all types including abortion, including warfare and human sacrifices and animal sacrifices. They could be sacrifices of sexual immorality where people go into sexual perversions and all kinds of promiscuity. And that act services the strength of these powers.

And many are the different types of sacrifices. He talked about lots of things which really troubled my mind.

He said when they are up there and the believers {Christians} begin to pray on earth, the prayers of the believers {Christians} appear to them in three forms.

1. All prayers appear like smoke that is rising up into the heavens, and he says that some prayers appear like smoke and they go meandering and disappear in the air.

He says that the people who normally pray like that and their prayers disappear are people who have sin in their lives and they are not willing to deal with it. Their prayers are so weak, they are blown and they disappear in the air.

2. And he said there are others whose prayers are like smoke that rises up until it reaches this rock, but it does not break through the rock. He says, usually these are people who try to purify themselves, but they lack the faith in what they are doing as they pray. And usually they ignore the other keys to use; areas that they need to put together in prayer.

3. He said that the third type of prayer is like smoke that is filled with fire. And as it rises up, it is so hot that as it reaches the rock, the rock begins to melt like wax and it pierces that rock and goes through, and he said many times, people begin to pray and their prayers are like the first type of prayer, but as they continue praying, their prayers change and become like the second prayer. And as they continue praying, suddenly there is suddenly fire that is filling their prayers.

And their prayers become so powerful, they pierce through the rock.

And he said, many times would they notice the prayers of the saints changing and coming very close to the state of fire, they communicate to other spirits on earth and they tell them, “Distract that person from prayer. Stop them praying. Pull them out.” And many times so many believers {Christians} yield to these distractions. They are pressing through, they are repenting. They are allowing the Word [of the Almighty] to check their spirit up. Faith has been building up. Their prayers are becoming more focused. Then the devil sees their prayers are gaining strength and the distractions begin. Telephones ring. Sometimes we, in the middle of very, very intense prayer, the telephone rings and you think you can go to answer the phone and then come back and continue praying. When you come back, you go back to the beginning. And that's what the devil wants. Other kinds of distractions come your way, even if it means touching your body and bringing some pain somewhere. Even if it means making you hungry and you want to go to the kitchen and fix something to eat. As long as they can get you out of that place, they, have defeated you.

And he will say to the shepherds {pastors}, “Teach people. Set aside some time. Not for just some casual kind of praying. They can do that the rest of the day. Once in a day, they should have a time when they are focusing wholeheartedly on The Almighty {God}, nothing distracting them.  And if people persist in this kind of prayer and allow themselves to be inspired in the spirit and keep going and keep going, something happens in the spirit. The fire touches that rock, and it melts. And this man said when the melting begins, it is so hot, no demon spirit can stand it. No human spirit can stand it. They all flee. They all run away. There comes an opening in the spiritual realm. And as soon as this comes, all this trouble in prayer stops. The person who is praying on the ground just feels like prayer is suddenly so smooth, so enjoy some and so powerful and intense”.

And I've discovered at that moment, we normally lose consciousness of time and other things. Not that we become disorderly. The Almighty {God} takes care of our time. But it is like you lay down everything, and you hook up with the Almighty {God}.

And this man said that when the prayers go through, from that moment there can be no resistance at all, and the person praying will continue as long as he wants. There is no resistance that can stop him. And then he said, after he finishes praying, the hole remains open, and he said that people, when they rise out of their place of prayer, and they walk out, this open hole moves along with them. They are no longer operating under the blanket. They are operating under open heavens. And he said in that state, the devil cannot do what he wants against them. And the presence of Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord} is like a pillar from heaven resting on their lives. They are protected, and there is so much power inside that pillar that as they move around, that presence touches other people. It discerns what the enemy has done in other people. And as they talk to people and those people are standing with them, they come inside this pillar. And as long as they stay inside that pillar, all the bondages of the enemy weaken. So when these people who have this spiritual break-through share Yah and Yahooshua [Yah is salvation] {Jesus} the anointed of Yah {Christ} with the sinners, their resistance is low. It is so easy to bring them through.

When! they pray for the sick or pray about things, the presence which is there makes all the difference.

And this man said the devil hates such people. And it said if there are places where prayer is regularly being prayed through like that, the presence comes upon that place and does not leave. So even the people who don't know the Almighty {God}, when they come into this place suddenly all the bondages are weakened. And if someone cared to just minister to them patiently and with love, they can easily be pulled through, not by power nor by might but by the Spirit of the Almighty {God}, who is present.

And he said, if no one bothers about these people, they come into his presence, they feel convicted, they begin to debate whether to yield or not, but if they are not pulled through, when they walk away from this place, bondages get stronger. And the devil tries his best not to allow them to come back into such an environment.

You can imagine we were all seated looking at this man. He was telling us the things he used to do and what he used to see. Then he told us what they would do to people who have broken through in prayer. He said they marked such people; they studied such people. They dug up everything they could find about such people. So they knew their weaknesses, and when someone overcomes them in prayer and breaks through, they communicate with other spirits and say, “Target him with this and with this and with this.  These are his weaknesses.”

So when this person walks out of the prayer closet, the spirit of prayer is upon him, the presence is upon him, his spirits are high, the joy of Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord} is his strength. As he moves the enemy tries to bring those things that can distract him from focusing on Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord}. If his weakness is in the area of temper, then the enemy is going to cause people to do things which can make him really angry. And if he is not sensitive to the set apart {Holy} Spirit, and he allows himself to go into the temper, he takes his eyes off Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord}. He gets angry, he feels so furious, and after a few minutes later, he wants to put that behind him and move along in the joy of Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord}, but he doesn't feel it anymore. He tries to feel good again; he doesn't feel any good again. Why?  As he yielded to the temptation, they worked hard to close the door upstairs.  And once they restore the rock, the presence is cut off. The person does not  cease being a child of the Almighty {God}.

But that extra anointing that goes on his life, that presence that could do things without his manipulating anything, it's just cut off.

They seek out where the weaknesses are. If it is in the temptation to sexuality, the enemy will prepare people, events, something that will suddenly draw out that passion to go towards that temptation. And if that man yields to this temptation and opens up his mind to receive these thoughts, entertains them, when he is through with everything and wants to move again in the anointing, he just discovers! it is no longer there.

Maybe you say, “That's not fair.” Just remember what the writings in the book {Bible} says, “Put on the helmet of salvation. Put on the breastplate of righteousness.” We normally do not see the position, the place of these weapons of warfare.

But remember what Yahooshua [Yah is salvation] {Jesus} told us to pray towards the end of Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord}’s prayer,  “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”

Every time you have a breakthrough in prayer, as you come to the end, remember you are still a weak human being. Remember you have not yet been perfected. Ask Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord}, say “Father {Lord}, I've enjoyed this time of prayer, but when I walk out into this world, lead me not into temptation. Don't allow me to walk into the devil's trap. I know the enemy is setting a trap out there. I don't know what form it is going to take. And I know I am still weak in certain areas. If I am just put in the right place, I will yield to that. Protect me, Father {Lord}. When you see me turning that corner where the trap is, just cause me to turn to the other side. Intervene, O Yah {Lord}. Don't allow me to move by just my own strength and ability. Deliver me from the evil one.”  The Almighty {God} is able to do that. He is able. That is why sometimes things happen, all you need to say is, “Thank you Father in the name of Yahooshua [Yah is salvation] {Jesus}.” that’s why Apostle Paul wrote in the book of Thessalonians and said, “Thank the Almighty {God} in everything for that is the will of the Almighty {God} in Christ for you.” some things are not good. They are painful, and we wonder why the Almighty {God} would allow it. But if only we knew what He is saving us from, we would thank Him. When we learn to trust Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord}, we just thank Him in everything.

Beloved, I don't know whether to go deeper because I do not want to start something I cannot finish. Let me just try to take one step forward. And this man said that when prayer breaks through like that, the answer will always come. He said he does not know a case where prayer broke through and the answer did not come. He said the answer always came, but in most cases, it would never get to the person who asked.

Why?

Battle in the Heavenlies.

He says as long as they succeed in cutting off the open heavens and the rock is restored, they watch this person; they are waiting because they know the answer is definitely coming. And then this man spoke something that really shook my faith. It is because of the next part he shared that I went into fasting ten days to say, “Father {Lord}, is this true? Can you prove it to me?” This man said that every believer {Christian} has got an messenger {angel} serving that believer {Christian}. Now we know the writings in the book {Bible} say messengers {angels} are ministering spirits to us. He said that when people pray, the answer comes in the hands of the messenger {angel}. The messenger {angel} brings the answer like we can read it in the book of Daniel.

"POWERFUL"

Then he said something really tough; if the one who prays knows the spiritual armours and is clothed with them, the answer comes by an messenger {angel} who is also clothed in full armour. if the one who prays doesn't care about spiritual armoury, their messengers {angels} come without spiritual armour. Believers {Christians} who don't care about what kind of thoughts come into their minds. They don't fight the battle of their minds. Their messengers {angels} come without the helmet.

Whatever spiritual weapon you ignore on earth, the messenger {angel} doesn't have it as he serves you. In other words, our spiritual armour is not protecting our physical bodies; it's protecting our spiritual exploits. This man said when the messenger {angel} is coming, they would focus and look at him and notice the areas which are not covered, and those are the areas they would attack. If he has no helmet, they would shoot at his head. If he has no breastplate, they would shoot at his chest. If he has no shoes, they would make a fire that he is walking in the fire.

Now I am just repeating what this man said. Actually, we asked him, “Can messengers {angels} feel fire?” and you know what he said to us? “Remember this is a spiritual realm. These are spirits dealing with spirits. The battle is intensive, and when they overpower an messenger {angel} of the Almighty {God}, the first thing they target is the answer he is carrying, and they get that from him, that is what they give through the cults, the witchcraft, and people say, I got this because of witchcraft.”

Remember what the Bible says in the book of James? All good things come from the Almighty {God}. So where does the devil get the things he gives to his people?

Some people who cannot have children, they go to witch doctor and Satanists, and they get pregnant! Who gave them that baby? Is Satan a creator? NO! He steals from those who don't pray to the end. Yahooshua [Yah is salvation] {Jesus} said, “Pray without ceasing.” and then He said, “But when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith?” Will He find you still there waiting? Or will you have given up and the enemy would steal what you have prayed for?

Then this man said that they are not satisfied with just stealing the answer. They are also interested in detaining the messenger {angel}. And they start fighting him.  And he said sometimes they succeed in holding and binding the messenger  {angel}. And he says, when that happens, the believer {Christian} is a victim on earth. They can do anything with that believer {Christian} because he is totally left without ministry in the Spirit.

I said to him, “Do you mean a messenger {angel} can be held in captivity by demonic forces?” This man did not even know the scriptures by the time he was saying all this. He did not know very many scriptures. He was just sharing his experiences. And he said, they wouldn't hold the messenger {angel} too long because as other believers {Christians} prayed elsewhere, reinforcement would come, and the messengers {angels} would go free. If the believer {Christian} responsible did not pray through, he remains a captive. Then the enemy sends his own messenger {angel} as a messenger {angel} of light to this person, and that is where the deceptions come in.

False visions and false prophecies. False leadership, I mean leading, guidance in the spirit, making wrong decisions of all types. And many times this person is open to all kinds of attack and bondages. And I asked Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord}. I left that dinner so troubled, so troubled. I said, “Father {Lord}, I don't want to even try and believe this.” It removes all my confidence, my security. When I went to seek Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord}, it was ten days, Yah the eternally self existing {the Lord} did two things.

He did not only confirm the things I had heard, he opened my mind to see a lot more that this man could not tell us of what happens in the spiritual realm. And two, he led me to see what we are supposed to do as the things are happening so that we are not overcome but that we can overcome.........

We need to know three things and really come to terms with these three things.

One: how to operate with the weapons of our warfare. The Bible calls them the armour of the Almighty {God}. It is not our armour; it is the Almighty {God}'s armour. When we use it, we allow The Almighty {God} to fight on our behalf.

Two: understand the relationship of the ministering spirits, the messengers {angels}, to our spiritual lives. And to be sensitive to what is happening in our hearts as a leading to what needs to be happening in the spirit concerning us.

That brings us to the third thing.

Three: that is the set apart {Holy} Spirit. The set apart {Holy} Spirit is not supposed to come as our servant, serving us and bringing things to us. He does not run to and fro to the Father to tell Him what we need. That is the work of messengers {angels}.

[JAR Note – the set apart {Holy} Spirit IS Yah]

But He stands by our side. Doing what? Guiding us regarding combat in the Heavenly Realm, teaching us, leading us, and helping us to pray the right way. And when these things are happening in the spiritual realm, He tells us, sometimes He wakes you up in the night and says, “Pray.” You say, “No! My time is not yet come.” And He says, “Pray now!” Why? He sees what is happening in the spirit.

Sometimes He says, “Tomorrow? Fasting!” You say, “Oh, no, I'll start on Monday!” But He understands what is happening in the spiritual realm. We should learn to be sensitive to the set apart {Holy} Spirit. He guides us in the paths of  righteousness.
