He Sets Us FreeMatthew: 6:9-13 - In this manner therefore pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name; Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. (NKJV)
The attack, which may have been minutes, seemed to go on for hours. Satan sat on my bedside, groping at me. I was in a sleep state, and struggling to get away from his clutches. He seemed to have many arms - that appeared to melt whenever I tried to push him away, every time I pushed another hand groped at me. I was frightened and knew full well who was attacking me.
Although asleep, somewhere deep inside of me I knew I was repeating the Lord's Prayer, and then shouted out, "I resist you devil, and you must flee from me". Immediately I was set free from this terrible experience. It was about 5 a.m. when I awoke. Everything that had taken place was very clear in my memory. I had indeed been attacked once again.
James.4:7 - Therefore submit to God; Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (NKJV)
I first got on my knees saying repeatedly, "Thank you Lord", then I got up, went to my balcony, looked out at the beautiful sunrise. The "Son" was there for me, saying "Behold I am still with you". Believe me He is. In spite of the terrible attack I just went through I felt so close to God. A feeling of calm followed.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, if you are being attacked by the evil one, please don't give up, as our Lord is far more powerful than Satan. He will bring us through the dark nights. "Praise The Lord".
Prayer: Dear Father, thank you for showing us the power of your love, and being with us always. Thank you for setting us free. I pray that all those who are going through spiritual attacks will find comfort in your strength and steadfast love. Amen.
