tough; if the one who prays knows the spiritual armour and is clothed with it, the answer comes by an
angel who is also clothed in full armour.
If the one who prays doesn’t care about spiritual armoury, their angels come without spiritual armour.
Christians who don’t care about what kind of thoughts come into their minds. They don’t fight the
battle of their minds. Their angels come without the helmet. Whatever spiritual weapon you ignore on
earth, the angel doesn’t have it as he serves you. In other words, our spiritual armour is not protecting
our physical bodies; it’s protecting our spiritual exploits.
This man said, when the angel is coming, they would focus and look at him and notice the areas,
which are not covered, and those are the areas they would attack. If he has no helmet, they would
shoot at his head. If he has no breastplate, they would shoot at his chest. If he has no shoes, they
would make a fire that he is walking in the fire. Now I am just repeating what this man said. Actually,
we asked him,” Can angels feel fire?” And you know what he said to us? Remember this is a spiritual
realm. These are spirits dealing with spirits. The battle is intensive, and when they overpower an
angel of God, the first thing they target is the answer he is carrying, and they get that from him, that is
what they give through the cults, the witchcraft, and people say, ”I got this because of witchcraft.”
Remember what the Bible says in the book of James? All good things come from God. So where does
the devil get the things he gives to his people? Some people who cannot have children, they go to
witch doctors and satanists, and they get pregnant! Who gave them that baby? Is Satan a creator?
NO! He steals from those who don’t pray to the end. Jesus said,” Pray without ceasing.” And then He
said,” But when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith?” Will He find you still there waiting? Or will
you have given up and the enemy would steal what you have prayed for?
Then this man said that they are not satisfied with just stealing the answer. They are also interested in
detaining the angel. And they start fighting him. And he said sometimes they succeed in holding and
binding the angel. And he says, when that happens, the Christian is a victim on earth. They can do
anything with that Christian because he is totally left without ministry in the Spirit.
I said to him,” Do you mean an angel can be held in captivity by demonic forces?” This man did not
even know the scriptures by the time he was saying all this. He did not know very many scriptures. He
was just sharing his experiences. And he said they wouldn’t hold the angel too long because as other
Christians prayed elsewhere, reinforcement would come, and the angels would go free. If the
Christian responsible did not pray through, he remains a captive. Then the enemy sends his own
angel as an angel of light to this person, and that is where the deceptions come in. False visions and
false prophecies. False leadership, I mean leading, guidance in the spirit, making wrong decisions of
all types. And many times this person is open to all kinds of attack and bondages.
And I asked the Lord. I left that dinner so troubled, so troubled. I said,” Lord, I don’t want even to try
and believe this.” It removes all my confidence, my security. When I went to seek the Lord, it was ten
days, the Lord did two things. He did not only confirm the things I had heard, he opened my mind to
see a lot more that this man could not tell us of what happens in the spiritual realm. And two, he led
me to see what we are supposed to do as the things are happening so that we are not overcome but
that we can overcome. And we need to know three things and really come to terms with these three
things.
One: how to operate with the weapons of our warfare. The Bible calls them the armour of God. It is
not our armour; it is God’s armour. When we use it, we allow God to fight on our behalf. Two:
understand the relationship of the ministering spirits-the angels-to our spiritual lives. And to be
sensitive to what is happening in our hearts as a leading to what needs to be happening in the spirit
concerning us. That brings us to the third thing: that is the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is not supposed to come as our servant, serving us and bringing things to us. He does
not run to and fro to the Father to tell Him what we need. That is the work of angels. But He stands by
our side. Doing what? Guiding us, teaching us, leading us, helping us to pray the right way. And when
these things are happening in the spiritual realm, He tells us, sometimes He wakes you up in the night
and says,” Pray.” You say,” No! My time is not yet come.” And He says,” Pray now!” Why? He sees
what is happening in the spirit. Sometimes He says,” Tomorrow-fasting!” You say, ”Oh, no, I’ll start on
Monday!”
Okay, I know there is no look but anyway I don't think he should be making up stories like that. If it is a story to make people want to pray, then he should just say that because otherwise it is a lie even though he may (or may not) have a good intent.
