Real, Authentic, and Encouraging
Thank you for this podcast. It has been very encouraging to me and i appreciate your honesty too and vulnerability. I really could relate to you on some things you have talked about in regards to spiritual attack. I just want you to know that your not alone. I’ve gone through some really difficult, and terrifying experiences the past year. I’m starting to hear more stories of others going through things too. I knew this existed but I’ve never been under such intense warfare like the past year and I still don’t understand why. I’m not even in ministry, if I’m being honest I don’t even attend church regularly like I should we are praying for a good church, there’s been a lot of withdrawal on my part due to some suffering and trials I’ve been through in the past few years, but I know I was closing my heart due to this pain and not letting anyone in. And I was believing some lies and making agreements I didn’t even know I was aware of. But God is so amazing because He has been healing me. He has took me on a wild journey of being so aware of his presence and the spiritual realm. Even times I believe I’ve encountered angels. Maybe because of some things I’m responsible for letting in could be part of the reason I was being attacked I don’t know, but my family had been under so much pressure the past year from all sides it felt like. And one thing I really desired for so long was to be a stay at home mom but it took awhile for this to happen. While walking through the fires Jesus was closer to me also like I’ve never experienced before. I’ve had to wait on things so much longer than I wanted too, and we are still currently waiting on a circumstance to change for our family that hasn’t yet. But my faith has been put to the test. I am now a stay at home mom with my kids. An answered prayer from God! During the time I was experiencing intense spiritual attack like nightmares, hearing voices, things physically assaulting me, suicidal thoughts, not being able to sleep— I was on my knees many times crying to God and asking for his deliverance I didn’t know what was going on. I felt crazy, no one to talk to but I did share with my husband on many occasions so thankful I had him, God did not deliver me for awhile I was also experiencing very hard things at my job at the time before I was able to quit. My family in general were having hard things hit us it felt so overwhelming. That’s an understatement. Sickness kept hitting us and even my children having nightmares. I literally came to the end of myself during a dark season. But maybe that is one reason God allowed it. My relationship with God was deepened on another level. I heard his voice many times such as I’m holding you in my loving arms, I’ve never left your side, I will rescue you. He led me to some mature Christians in their faith such as John Eldridge and his ministry, which taught me a lot on spiritual warfare and how to fight back. This was life changing for me and if I wouldn’t have found those resources idk if I would still be here. No one talks about this stuff enough or how to combat it so this was an awakening for me. It taught me how to fight back with authority. You have spoken of this on your podcast and I appreciate it so much. You are shining a light so bright especially for the younger generations. I’ve also heard Lisa Bevere talk some on this and she mentioned one time the enemy is after our children and I believe he is. That could be why intense things are indeed occurring for you and your ministry. Possibly why I’ve experienced it because I’m trying to raise my kids differently than I was raised. I want them to know Jesus intimately. I would never want to go back through what I went through but I’ll tell you I’m not the same person and my relationship is being restored to union with God. I’ve got to know Him as my loving Father, my Healer, Rescuer and Good Shepherd. There is more but I know I can’t write a book while leaving a review lol. I still experience some warfare from time to time now and I know until God destroys them once and for all it will continue, but God has delivered me and even when things happen again the Lord has taught me how to recognize and fight back with the authority He has given to us as believers. My life has changed and is changing due to this revelation. There’s been strongholds and agreements broken. He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world! Be encouraged Jennie. You are doing amazing things. I also read your book Get out of your head a few years ago and it really helped me. Thank you for all your doing and sharing your story. God is on your side and He will never leave you. He will comfort you and equip you. I’m praying for you. Your changing lives and the Holy Spirit is working in you- like Sharon Jaynes’ says your not just shaping human beings your shaping eternal souls. God Bless.
