I feel led to offer something. As I listened, something occurred to me. I believe the elusiveness of this mental attack is because it is not emotional but more about cognition. It is something that confuses rather than suddenly attacking how we feel. We have just been calling it "Long Covid." And that's why this podcast threw me for a while. But the Lord kept having me go back to the latter 3rd of the podcast to catch something. Then it hit me. Like ourselves, God has called MANY of us these latter days to head into a new work in the Kingdom. Callings, if you will, whatever that might be for the person. THIS is, in part, an attempt to thwart the clarity of calling and direction, and thus the progress forward that the enemy sees coming, right down to the individual. Bless you guys and all the work you do. John

I have been listening to WAH for several years and now can watch also. These have been very helpful, especially the series on spiritual warfare. I have listened to it 3-4 times. These have helped me sustain reading/studying Scripture on a daily basis for over five years. That led me to do a few physical things that have made a difference in my spiritual life and I believe have been helpful in protecting me from spiritual attack. The first was daily scripture and prayer which is really both physical and spiritual. The second was ceasing to watch or listen to the news/opinion bombardment. Then God took me in a direction that only recently did I realize was helping spiritually. I started a journey to improve my health. I was 64 years old and felt pretty awful much of the time. I did a lot of research and trial and gradually reduced sugar intake. I lost some weight and felt better, but no good. Eight months ago I started eating only meat, eggs, and some dairy. In two weeks or so my brain fog was almost gone. I rarely have those short term memory losses and can concentrate on God's Word so much better. My health has improved greatly and I feel better than I did 10-15 years ago, both physically and spiritually. Thanks for all you do and for the help along the way. We have also started a Fires group which has already been a great tool for discipleship.

Most of the time spiritual warfare operates at just a low enough grade that you don’t resist it. It lingers in the background. But the moment you resist it you’ll discover how forceful and malevolent the spirit is. Ephesians 1:17 to the end = Resurrection Power. Thank you so much for this teaching 🤠

I knew it. I absolutely knew it. Starting in October 2019, very bad panic attacks started for me. A sense of fear and dread and isolation I had never felt before. Then 2020 happened and it all came to fruition. Months leading up to a friends suicide, I felt this feeling and sense of it, and I audibly heard a voice tell me “kill yourself”. Now, there is an extreme sense of urgency, a preparations, and anger. Lots and lots of anger. And confusion. Lord be with us, we got this. We are warriors in Christ. Stay vigilant and stay prepared.

Dear John and Allen, I have not listened to your podcast for a while now and this morning I woke up needing to use the Pause App and to get in front of God intimately. From the start of my work day until lunch time I experienced something very unusual (unusual in the sense that I had not experienced this type of overwhelm, anxiety and fragmented thinking since before I was saved). I was unable to think properly, concentrate or reason for the first half of my day to the point where I was bursting with anger and a ton of other emotions. For the past year I have been noticing an inability to remember things, focus or actually take anything in. Last week I wrote this exact prayer in my journal, “Lord, help me to be able to retain information, specifically scripture.” I’m so thankful for this podcast and for how God is using you to reach people. People like me. It’s things like this that we are in danger of as believers in Jesus Christ - when we start to allow the belief that this type of thinking (or rather inability to think) and behaviour is simply the result of a busy schedule, stress or anxiety at work but, this is something different.

Thank you for this teaching on spiritual warfare. I found the deconstructing that Satan does to all of God's creations to be especially helpful. It really shines a light on all the attacks that happen in Christian's lives and in the world today. I am trying to prepare myself to handle whatever comes my way. I have felt that weightiness in my spirit recently. God is my rock! Prayer everyday is my connection to Him. Amen.

Yes... "My time's not short, yours is." I love it - remembering the victory has already been won. I love the prayers of love and river of life and will use them, thank you. I will add that I believe even "trauma and post-covid brain" as you called out as "real" is also not of God and is healed by him. All forms of disorder and chaos come from the enemy (as does disease), and though those things do well to have additional forms of healing, God can heal even that with prayer. I have been told I have ADD, but I can take authority over the spirit of dis-order, confusion and chaos in Jesus name and get clarity and order. It is getting better the more that I enforce that -- God is bringing order to something I have struggled with my whole life. I can feel the warfare around it, but I don't have to tolerate it now that I am saved by HIM. Just thought I'd mention that. I also have a history of trauma, and have done other forms of healing. Some believe ADD and trauma have a connection.

My precious brothers, I've been so deeply blessed by your ministry for decades, and I thank you & PTL for you. Out of sincerity though, kindly clarify for me this: the different prayers for different evils, seem a little formulaic... I was raised in the Catholic church where prayers seemed rote & formulaic to me, so my antennae are highly sensitive to that, vs what I learned as a born-again believer, where you prayed from the heart instead. All that to say, would you kindly speak to this & clarify what you're recommending in contrast to my previous bias?!? I don't want to miss the gifts you're offering! Thank you & may God prosper & protect you all; your families & ministry in Jesus' name! 🕊🌠🔥🕯💫🎶🙏🎵💥
@WildatHeartOfficial6 ай бұрын
So glad you reached out. Here are a few thoughts that might be helpful. All of them are offered in love. Different prayers for different evils is actually more nuanced than a one-size-fits-all prayer. It is the equivalent of a warrior choosing the right weapon for battle rather than going into every fight relying on his high school Swiss Army knife. Rote and formulaic approaches occur in high church-as well as evangelical and nondenominational churches. It just looks different in different settings. Doing things the same way no matter the situation IS rote and formulaic, regardless of the traditions or trappings. Yes, the heart is central. And walking with God is essential. There is a way things work in the material and in the spiritual realms. John is offering various ways to approach the various attacks of the enemy and this world by leaning into the power, revelation and provision of God. We appreciate your thoughts and questions. A great resource that goes into much greater detail on these topics is John's book on prayer, Moving Mountains.

@@WildatHeartOfficial Thank you. I am not going to say what I'm about to say because I want to be that guy, but it looks like I will be him in this comment.. I actually have benefited tremendously from so many things from this outstanding ministry, bootcamp, advanced, Intensive, and I'm a podcast regular, etc. Walking in this whole gospel message... I decided to listen to Embodied, by Sprinkle. Great listen. Helpful and Christlike approach to the whole issue. But, in chapter 10 of the book, Sprinkle sites a particular clinic in the UK that saw a 5,000% increase in 10 years, not 3 as was mentioned in the podcast... Still something is way off and I'm sure what you said about it holds true, but I thought it was mentioning that it was 7 more years than mentioned.
