Hey everyone!
So Sunday Night I had my first experience with Spiritual Warfare and it totally rocked my world. For awhile I didn’t even think any of that existed but after Sunday night I realized its very real and very scary! So let me explain what actually happened. One of the leaders Shad was giving a little sermon thingy and I felt this odd presence around me and at first I didn’t think much of it but after awhile of sitting with it it started to feel stronger. It kinda felt like a really bad anxiety attack. I then lost control of my legs in a sense, I couldn’t stop shaking them back and forth cause I was so scared. While all this was happening the squad was worshiping and Shad was going around giving words of encouragement to some people and when I saw he was doing this I started praying he would come over to me because I needed someone to help me. After what felt like forever Shad came over to me and I told him what was happening and actually was brought to tears because of how scared I was. He then prayed over me and I really didn’t feel much better after but instead I felt a little more scared. I told Shad not to leave because I needed someone by me so he stayed by me while we finished worship. After worship Kristen started to give a little sermon thingy and at that point I had to get out of the building we were in. In the back of my head I knew whatever this was couldn’t hurt me but I was just beyond scared. So Shad and I got up and left and he prayed for me again outside of the building and kinda talked me down and somehow convinced me to go back inside. Once I went back in I still felt like something wasn’t right but one thing Shad reiterated over and over was “it can’t hurt you” so I kept running that through my head and it helped. We then started worshiping again and right when we started singing I felt a weight lifted off of my shoulders. I was no longer scared of being in that particular building or scared of whatever was attacking me. A whole new world was opened up to me that night. One that I think will forever change my life. God calls us not fear and I know now that I don’t have to fear because he’s got me and will protect me from whatever tries to get at me. The lyrics of the last song we sang that night was “I’m no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God” This song is exactly what I needed to sing and hear and it was no coincidence we sang it. IT WAS GOD!
Thanks for listening and I probably left some things out but this is the gist of what happened.
