SUPERNATURALLY SHUTTING EVIL DOORS AGAINST YOU

November 26

Children of the Light of your Father, do you have situations in your life that seem almost impossible for you to deal with? You are continually grieved by people who are supposed to be close to you and important in your life, but they "rub you the wrong way?"  It seems that Satan uses them to get to you with His attacks!  Well listen to your Father's good advice.  That is exactly what is happening!  The Enemy attacks you at the points of your most tender and vulnerable places through husbands, wives, in-laws, and co members of the Body of Christ.  Remember, if it feels like the devil is attacking, he most likely is!  Here's what you do, and how to pray through to victory!  First, accept the fact that it is not just these people attacking you from their fleshly bodies.  It is a combination of a weakness or insecurity in yourself that causes the opening for the Enemy to use these people.  Ask the Father to reveal in you that insecurity in the presence of that person or persons.  Pray to be delivered from these insecurities.  Perhaps you have made these people so important in your life that you have no release in their presence.  Don't allow them to rule you or control your happiness!  Turn to the Lord and offer yourself to Him anew!  Here's a prayer of deliverance: "Father, in the name of Jesus, I am weak in the presence of (name the person(s)).  I truly repent of making them and their approval of me a major issue in my life.  I release (names) in your presence, and ask you to give me grace to let go and bring you back to the center of the happiness factor of my life.  I truly will accept your freedom in the presence of this/these persons!  I declare myself free in the Lord Jesus, in His precious name, amen!"  Children, you may need to pray this prayer several times through over a period until you sense the victory over the control of the fear of people and the unhealthy need for their approval.  Indeed, you need and want their love and approval, but this is not something that you will ever learn from them, it must become a gift from your Heavenly Father!  You are growing so beautifully in your maturity in Christ, and your Father is so pleased with your surrender in His holy presence.  Good job, keep up the good work!
