Witches did the worst of killing me spiritually and my soul. They come back daily to provoke me. Like they can kill me but instead wants me to suffer and wants to drain the life out of me. Knowing I’m weak they daily push me and play in my face mocking me daily. They is most to me already and comes to provoke me says things like you won it’s a test we family and much more. When I try to harm myself they try to control my life which is the wordy I could ever go through. Why would god do this.
Perguntas frequentes
The script suggests that while stress is a natural response to circumstances, spiritual oppression often feels targeted and unexplainable. A key indicator is "sudden, unusual pressure" that ramps up specifically when you attempt spiritual activities like praying or reading Scripture. Unlike general exhaustion, this pressure often feels like an "invisible hand" pushing on your emotions or mind, creating a sense of being mocked or watched, even when your external circumstances are perfectly fine.
While the script acknowledges there is no simple answer, it provides a framework based on the story of Job and the concept of "refining fire." God is not the author of the evil or the mocking, but He may allow the battle to build "spiritual muscles," such as steadfastness and identity, which cannot grow in a comfortable environment. Furthermore, the intensity of an attack is often a sign of a person's value; the enemy targets those who carry Kingdom authority and are perceived as a threat to the darkness.
The script emphasizes a "both/and" approach rather than "either/or," noting that humans are whole beings of mind, body, and spirit. The enemy often "plays the strings that are already loose," exploiting existing vulnerabilities like trauma or clinical anxiety to add spiritual weight to a psychological struggle. For example, someone with OCD might experience "scrupulosity," where the enemy attaches oppressive thoughts to religious guilt. The recommended approach is to collaborate by using both professional clinical tools and spiritual weapons.
Breath prayers are a practical tool used to calm the nervous system and the spirit simultaneously. By taking slow, deep breaths and pairing them with short snippets of Scripture—such as inhaling "The Lord is my shepherd" and exhaling "I shall not want"—a person can reduce the "fight or flight" response of the body. According to the script, this practice can help break the physical cycle of anxiety and re-center the mind on truth during moments of spiritual heaviness or panic.
Repentance is described as "patching a hole" in a screen door; it is the act of closing "spiritual doors" like unforgiveness or bitterness that may have given the enemy a legal foothold. Renunciation is the follow-up step of making a verbal, authoritative declaration to break agreement with specific lies. By speaking out loud that you renounce a spirit of fear or mockery, you exercise the authority of Jesus to evict the "squatter" from your life.
