Always At War, Never Let Defenses Down by Shea Brewer

We are at war, we cannot miss a beat praying over our families, homes, cars, friends, finances, health and ministry work. We must be deliberate with our prayers. I almost always pray out loud so the spiritual realm hears.   Also because I do not want the enemy to sidetrack me with strange thoughts during silent prayers. When I used to pray quietly, I would think  Thank you God…then next thought ” I need to go to the grocery store.”

 Everyday our spirits need what I call a Spiritual Car Wash, which is when we humble ourselves before our King, repenting of bad thoughts and bad actions. We all sin daily, even if it’s unintentional. We should thank the Father for his son and the grace he shows us.  Praying and repenting are powerful tools that help cancel out all legal rights to enemy has to mess with us.

 I’m reading a lost book of the bible right now about what happened after Adam & Eve sinned and were kicked out of paradise. There are a lot of books that were not included when the Nicene Council decided which books were to be in the bibles. So I’m reading as much as I can get hands on, while praying for wisdom and truth of course. But with each book I’ve read, I get new insight- even if I don’t believe all of it to be accurate.

The story is absolutely fascinating but what really has stuck with me is that Satan was relentless against Adam and Even, even after they were kicked out of the garden.   Adam and Eve had remorse, depression and even tried to end their lives on several occasions, if that wasn’t enough Satan kept manifesting himself in different ways to destroy them.   The enemy wanted nothing more than to destroy all of mankind- to blot all of us out of existence. 

In the story, it was their prayers, fasting and repentance that reached the heavens, which stopped Satan from succeeding at killing them.  Satan came in the form of angels of light, devouring animals, accidents and fire. Satan even manifested himself into a loving, kind old man. This is not the first lost book I’ve seen him come in the form of a human who seems harmless and kind with what seems to be innocent words. It’s a great reminder that in all things we must pray for direction, clarification and guidance- do nothing without seeking approval from your true KING.  Some things that appear good,  may actual be from the enemy to get us off course.

We too are like  dumb sheep, easily fooled..by the master deceiver. Stay in close contact with your King of Kings will help tremendously. Practice listening to his small strong voice.

Even after Adam & Eve’s fall from the garden, the Father had such love and mercy for them. Their prayers and repentance were heard from Heaven and Abba had such compassion.  He never failed to send the angels to comfort and  save them over and over again.   If we pray to the Father with a pure heart with a repenting spirit, he too will  save us, comfort us and cleanse us. He can help us change too for the better.

On many occasions in the story Father ordered Satan and his demons to back off.  That is so comforting, especially when we are battling stuff in our own lives. He saved Adam and Eve many times, just as he has  in our lives, saved us. I can only imagine how many times he rescued me from darkness or distress, even when I had been terrible. I am forever grateful for his mercy. I am so thankful that I did not die before I received the truth. Even though, I declared my entire life to believe, my life. my emotions, my reactions to situations and people did not reflect or mirror the life of Jesus. 

Sometimes I am amazed that I am so much calmer, more patient and not angry anymore. The enemy had such power over my emotions. I just don’t react to situations anymore the way I used to…even my internal feelings and thoughts are different.  It is only through the power of the Holy Spirit that I have killed those ugly emotions and continue to kill the ugly in me!

Satan studies us. If one thing doesn’t work, he’ll try another way. He’s always looking for an open door or a legal right to come after us.  We have to be on our “A” game, never forgetting to pray, constantly cleaning up our mess ups with repentance and feeding our souls daily with His word.

Our light, our hope is Yahusha’s power. Jesus saves, protects and frees us from the enemies grips. The Holy Spirit is more Powerful than any of the enemies Schemes period.  There is POWER in the name of Yahusha ( Jesus) especially when a God fearing believer filled with the Holy Spirit uses that name. Yahusha protects his own and your prayers activate the angelic realm to build walls of protection around your life.

We must listen to Peter’s warning. Let it inspire you to increase your prayer life.

1 Peter 5: 8 Be Alert and sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶ Rejoice evermore.

¹⁷ Pray without ceasing.

¹⁸ In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Prayer Example:

Heavenly Father, we praise you for your love, grace, mercy and your son Yahusha ( Jesus). I come before you today and ask that you would forgive me for (impure thoughts and actions) Holy Spirit fill me with your power, refine me and redefine me in your son’s image. If there is anything in me that is unclean, reveal it to me and empower me to change. Father I ask right now that you would bless my children, protect my home, cars, all property and keep us in good health. If the enemy has any legal rights to attack, I ask that by the power of your Son’s life,  that you would stop the enemy. Thank you Father for sending the warrior angels to fight the unseen battle. Thank you for  for protecting us from darkness. Baptize me with your Light and Love so that I see all people and all situations through the eyes of Yahusha.  We love you. We worship you and we are so grateful for your love, mercy,blessings and protection. We pray blessings over your Kingdom and Ask that Your Will- will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven. In Yahusha’ ( Jesus) name. Amein ( Amen)
