Daniel 2:22
“He revealeth the deep and secret things: He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with Him”.
There are some things that are deep and others are on the surface. When you want to get something that is deep, you have to dig deep to find out. Gold, oil, are treasures and they cannot be found on the surface of the ground; you have to dig deep to find them. There are some deep secrets about life and the Bible tells us that it is God that knows the things that are in secret and He can also reveal them. The word of God goes on to say that God knows the things that are in the dark; one fact about darkness, is that the person in it, can see the person in the light, very clearly but the one in the lighted area, would need special anointing to see the person in the dark. Until; certain secrets are revealed, it might be difficult to receive some victories. The enemy of our soul fights a very terrible battle for the souls of men. The devil is the father of lies, so, his tactics are very deceitful. The devil has no honour or integrity. As far as the devil is concerned, there is nothing like fairness. If you want to destroy your enemy, you would need to know his secrets.
Deep secrets
1. Not everyone who calls G O D is calling God.
You may be surprised to find out that some people pray to petty gods and if you are not careful, you will say Amen to what they are saying. Such utterances that they call prayers, are actually incantations. In such uttering, you will never hear the Name of Jesus and they will never address the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They will just say ‘god, god’.
1 Corinthians 8:5-6
“For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him”.
Many people are being deceived every day. A brother got into serious one day. He thought he had problems and a friend took him to see someone who could give spiritual assistance. He said when they got there he was taken to a room which was very dark, whereas, it was just 11 am. He also saw birds flying about and was hearing voices, as if the birds were talking. He felt very uncomfortable and he got up to leave. Just then, he sighted a Bible on a table and he sat back, reassuring himself that the Bible meant the presence of God. Someone came to ‘pray’ for him and he noticed that the person was addressing ‘the creator’ and never mentioned Jesus. He thought he was referring to God the Creator. Before he knew what he had gotten himself into, his three children were deported from abroad in one day. They were not living together but they all met at the airport in Nigeria. None of them brought back any thing. They came back empty handed and could not explain why they were deported.
That is why we should be careful where we go. If the Holy Spirit begins to rebel within you, it means you are not supposed to be where you are or you are not supposed to be doing what you are doing. If you stay on, you are looking for trouble and are likely to get it.
2. The devil has an organised kingdom
The devil has followers and emissaries and he runs his kingdom contrary to the kingdom of God.
3. The worst attack comes during sleep
Some of the problems that people are struggling with started at night, during the hours of 12 and 3 am. That is why it is advisable to stay awake and pray during these hours.
Matthew 13:25
“But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way”.
4. If food is taken out of existence, demonic oppression will decrease.
A major part of the afflictions of Man comes from the food that he eats. It is a serious thing to find oneself eating in the dream. Spirits do not eat food but when they force-feed a person in the dream, the person will experience different types of affliction.
5. There are some creatures that are used by witchcraft powers, to afflict people in their dreams.
If you see the following animals in your dream, you should pray seriously, because it means you are under witchcraft attacks:
Goat, cat, rat, bat, termite, serpent or mud-fish.
6. Agents of darkness like to put on black clothes
Beware of a person who is not mourning, but is always putting on black clothes.
7. People use candles to destroy others.
If you had ever been to a gathering where candles are lit, to perform rites, you need to go through deliverance.
8. The enemy can mix with the wind, to afflict people.
Some people got paralysed, or started to have serious ailments, after a strange wind blew on them suddenly. I pray that if you have been afflicted that way, you shall be delivered today in the Name of Jesus.
Deep Deliverance
When a problem is on the surface, it is easy to get rid of it through prayers, within a few minutes or hours. When a problem is deeply rooted, it would need more effort to pull it out. Many people have confessed to witchcraft and one of them in particular, was a small girl. She brought a clay pot in which she had seventeen padlocks; it was amazing to discover that she knew the function of each of the padlocks. Out of the seventeen, she had used twelve on her own father. She said she had locked up all the money that the man had, or would ever have in life.
If this kind of things exist, is it not then necessary to take spiritual warfare serious? Imagine a person at a prayer meeting, praying and then three of such padlocks get destroyed and the person is not even aware of their existence, not to talk of their destruction. If such a person is not serious, those three that were destroyed will be replaced by more wicked ones. That is why you have to pray and be sure you pray through.
I would like you to know that there are some problems that are deeply rooted. There are some problems that people cannot discuss with others, because they sound very strange. For example, there is something called spiritual blockage; where a person cannot connect to heaven; there is no vision, no dream, no prophesy; he sees nothing, he hears nothing from God. Every thing in the spirit realm is dark, deaf and dumb. Any time such people decide to fast and pray, it is a serious problem; whenever they pick the Bible to read, they fall asleep, any time they start to pray, their thoughts wander from one thing to another; they cannot concentrate. Sometimes, when they go through deliverance, they fall sick and land in the hospital. Any method they use in progressing spiritually, lands them in trouble. Such people need deep deliverance.
There is something called dry faith. The person prays but doubts God in the depth of his or her heart. They are the people who will cry and weep all the time, despite the fact that they have prayed. They might even prophesy, but they will still cry.
Some people have abnormal thoughts; dreadful things are always passing through their minds; strange thoughts about suicide, sex, cruelty, tormenting thoughts and so on. For some people, everything would be going on well and they would almost be at the verge of their breakthroughs, when they would have a strange dream and the breakthrough will not come; then there would be a lot of attacks and strange things will happen to them. For some people, there will be no problem when they have no money but as soon as they have, one thing will pile up after the other, until the money is exhausted. Then, before money comes again, problems would have piled up, waiting to gulp the money. Such people need deep deliverance.
There is something called prayer-blockage: that is when a person cannot pray on his own. The only time that such people pray, is when they are in the church, in the midst of other people praying. Some people experience excessive tiredness; they are exhausted beyond measure, without doing any hard work. It means the devil is toying with their body. Some people experience unexplainable hatred; people are just hostile towards them without cause; they are not wanted around, for any reason. All these people need very deep deliverance.
What to do.
1. Know that there is a problem.
Know that something is wrong somewhere. Once you realise the fact that there is a problem, the solution has started. After much prayer, he calmed down and asked why he was on the floor, why his clothes were dirty. He then asked where his parents were and he broke into tears. That showed that he had been delivered and had come back to his senses.
2. Pray with desperation
When a person becomes desperate, progress begins. Many people pray but they are not yet desperate.
One day, a woman came to me crying, that her husband was always beating her. He would beat her to the extent that she would faint and he would take her to hospital. I told her that there were two ways to it. She had to pray for the salvation of his soul. The Lord told me that his salvation would come in a hard way and I told her. She agreed to pray those prayer points. The second day of her prayers, her husband was arrested and taken to the police station and later to prison. He had been there for some weeks, when he dawned on him that the beggarly powers that he was depending on could not help him. When the wife went to visit him the following day, he showed her the incisions on his back and said it was a useless effort. By the time he had spent two months in prison, the wife came to me again, saying that she was tired of going to give him food in the prison everyday. She said she was ashamed of being referred to as the wife of a prisoner. I told her that the Lord had not finished dealing with him but she wanted him out of prison. We prayed and he was released. As soon as he came back home, the beating started again.
When you get desperate, there are some prayers that you will pray. They do not have to be long. There are many Christians who need to pray desperate prayers today. A brother explained his problems and I gave him some prayer points; I told him that the prayers were dangerous because anything could happen. He said he was ready for any thing. Within five days of prayers, the Lord dealt with the ‘Troublers of his Israel’
If a person had made a covenant in the dark world, that they would kill a person and the person happens to be a child of God, whatever they do to the person in the dark world, will backfire. If the evil doer vowed that he or she would rather die than see the person alive and prospering, it will come to pass, when the Lord arises on behalf of the person. That is why some evil people that are unrepentant, die when the children of God pray.
Some of us really need to pray some deep prayers today. There is nothing that prayer cannot do. Prayer can quench fire; it has brought down fire on soldiers before and has roasted them. Prayer has sealed the mouth of lions before.
2 Kings 112:
“And Elijah answered and said unto them: “If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty”. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty”.
Prayer has pulled down a witchcraft bird from the sky before, and it became a human being. Prayers have introduced confusion into the camp of enemies before. Prayers have made owners of evil load to carry their evil load. There is nothing that prayers cannot do. To be quite honest with you, anyone who can really pray has no problem. Many of the churches, who did not believe in our kind of prayers, have started praying now; some are even asking for deliverance sessions to be conducted in their churches.
The prayers that I am suggesting below are not for gentle men; they are prayers for mad prophets. When a prophet prays in holy madness, fire falls. Are you tired of the harassments of the devil and his cohorts? Then, you have to become desperate and pray with all the aggression that you can gather. I want you to pray and be expectant. Beloved, if you pray these prayers fervently and you lose your voice in the process, you would have made a good bargain, because you would have obtained your deliverance from those powers that are trying to prove stubborn. These prayers will cause a lot of havoc in the camp of the enemy. These were kind of prayers that chased out demons and they were begging Jesus not to send them out.
Beloved, if you have not yet surrendered your life to the Lord Jesus Christ, you cannot really pray the prayers that I am suggesting below. If you are not born again, you cannot claim to be a child of God and He cannot reveal any secret to you. All you need do is acknowledge the fact that you are a sinner and that you cannot approach God in your sinful state. If you are ready, confess your sins to Him and ask Him to forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Claim the redemptive power in the Blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross at Calvary, for the remission of your sins. Say good-bye to the world and the devil and make sure you do not go back to them again. Invite the Lord Jesus Christ into your life and ask Him to come in and become your personal Lord and Saviour. Ask Him to take absolute control of your life and all that concerns you.
I congratulate you for this decision that you have just taken. It is the most important decision in life; and I pray that it shall be permanent in your life in the Name of Jesus. I pray that the Lord will write your name in the Book of Life and nothing shall rub it off in the Name of Jesus.
Take these prayers points with holy aggression:
1.Every power circulating my name for destruction, wherever you are, die in the Name of Jesus.
2.Every serpent of my father’s house today is your final day in the Name of Jesus.
3.My destiny, arise from the graveyard and shine in the Name of Jesus.
4.Thou power of affliction, my life is not your candidate, therefore, scatter in the Name of Jesus.
5.Arrow of confusion in my life, backfire in the Name of Jesus.
6.Every owner of the load of oppression in my life, carry your evil load by fire, in the Name of Jesus.
7.Blood of Jesus arise in Your power and fight for me today, in the Name of Jesus.
8.Every stubborn strongman in charge of my problem, die in the Name of Jesus.
9.Every power that has swallowed my virtues, vomit them and die in the Name of Jesus.
10.Every power assigned to cut short my life and add it to their own, die in the Name of Jesus.
11.Every power assigned to steal my wealth, die in the Name of Jesus.
12.Every power shedding blood to destroy me, die in the Name of Jesus.
13.O God, arise and do not pass me by in the Name of Jesus.
14.Thou power of the strange children of my father’s house, die in the Name of Jesus.
15. Thou power of the strange children of my Mother’s house, die in the name of Jesus.
16.Power to be lifted up, fall upon me now, in the Name of Jesus.
