I’ve had this revelation for a while, but I didn’t share it. There was no good reason to keep it to myself, apart from the fact that I am a very reserved person. However, today I get to share it.
Here is what I observed: evil spirits deceive believers to pray to God, ideas that appear good on the surface, but they are carnal before God. As a result, God refuses to answer the prayers of the believers.
This revelation will help you understand how evil spirits deceive believers to make ungodly prayers, and what you can do to stop it once and for all.
This information helped me a lot when I was a victim of the deception of evil spirits myself, and I didn’t even suspect it. I went from making prayers that were ideas of evil spirits to making prayers that are ideas of the Holy Spirit. I hope this revelation will help you as much as it helped me.
Ready for the revelation? Let’s get started…
The Mistake of Many Believers
Many believers assume that their ideas are simply their own ideas. They never suspect that those ideas could be coming from evil spirits.
This is usually the case because many believers assume it is difficult for evil spirits to access them. If a believer is born again and prayerful, they almost always assume that they cannot get ideas from evil spirits.
This assumption makes believers find themselves in a situation where they are trusting God for a breakthrough, but none is forthcoming. They pray, they fast, they quote scriptures, but God remains silent on them.
Little do they know, the breakthrough they are trusting God for is an idea of evil spirits. God refuses to grant the breakthrough because He knows it is the request of evil spirits through His child.
Evil spirits do this because they know that God can never grant their requests if they make them directly to Him. In a crafty move, they lure unsuspecting children of God to make requests on their behalf.
If you don’t take action on this matter, evil spirits will continue luring you to make prayers to God on their behalf, thinking it is your own idea. And if you continue doing that, you’ll never get any answer for your prayers.
Now that I have explained to you the mistake, let me walk you through the solution…
Solution Context
Let me start by outlining a few important scriptures that will help you understand the solution…
One…
Mark 5:6-7
When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me.”
This scripture is loaded. We’ll come to it shortly.
Second scripture…
Matthew 16:21-23
From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!” But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”
Wow! There is a lot to unpack here. Let me share the last scripture, then I’ll explain everything.
2 Timothy 2:19,21
Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
Mark these three important scriptures I’ve shared with you, as we get into the revelation.
The Revelation…
Mark 5 tells us of the man who was demon-possessed and dwelt in the tombs. In verse 6, when he saw Jesus, he ran and worshipped him.
Pause right there…
I have a question for you: do you think it was the man that ran to worship Jesus, or it was it the evil spirits within him? Of course, it was the evil spirits.
This leads me to the first point: many believers assume that evil spirits can’t worship Jesus, but as we see here, they can actually worship Jesus.
However, they are not worshipping Jesus because He is good; no, they are worshipping Jesus to win His compassion. It is a way of trying to manipulate Jesus.
This happens to this very day. Many believers offer worship to God to win His favor, but deep in their hearts, they don’t care about God. That is a tactic of evil spirits, and many believers do it without even realizing they are doing the bidding of evil spirits.
This is what Jesus meant when He quoted Isaiah in Matthew 15:8-9, saying, ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’
In verse 7 of Mark 5, the evil spirits tender their request to Jesus after offering Him vain worship. They ask Jesus not to torment them while using the man as a human shield.
They put Jesus in a difficult situation because, if Jesus wanted to torment them, He would have to torment the man also. In His wisdom, Jesus sent them into the pigs to set the man free.
But this is only the first scripture I shared.
In Matthew 16:21-23, Jesus explained to the disciples what must happen to Him, but then Peter took Him aside to rebuke Him not to go according to His plan. The Lord Jesus then rebukes Peter with the famous “Get behind me, Satan!”
This is what I want you to understand: if evil spirits can’t possess you and directly use your mouth to pray to God as they did with the man who lived in the tombs, they will give you their ideas so that you express them to God on your own.
That is exactly what they did with Peter. Satan knew that if he showed up directly to stop Jesus, he would be rebuked. In his craftiness, he gave Peter the idea to rebuke Jesus, hoping that Jesus would not realize it was the devil’s idea.
Again, the devil was using Peter as a human shield to push his agenda.
This happens a lot with believers; there are many ideas from the devil that believers genuinely believe are good. As a result, they approach God in prayer with these ideas, only to be rebuked and sent away empty-handed.
Let me not mention those ideas for today, because I’m not ready for the attacks that will be launched at me.
But if I don’t mention them today, when will I ever bring them up?
Here we go…
One, there are currently many wars taking place in the world. Many believers usually pray that the wars may end. They forget that Jesus said the wars would be a sign of His return. Instead of praying for the wars to end, believers should pray that they are ready when the Messiah comes. The wars will be there, and they will increase, no matter how hard you pray for them to stop.
Two, some believers usually ask God to give them wealth so that they can use it to serve His Kingdom. This makes perfect sense, right? Wrong! As beautiful as it looks, this is an idea from the spirit of mammon.
Here is the thing: if you work hard to get money to serve God’s kingdom, you will be working for money, which is basically serving mammon. Instead, Jesus commanded that we seek His kingdom first, and all other things will be added to us.
This means that even if you need resources to serve God, you must start by serving God in whatever small capacity you can, then God Himself will figure out a way to add you more resources to you if He feels you’ve been a faithful steward with the little resources you had.
Three, some believers usually pray that they may have physical wealth to showcase the glory of God. Well, that is exactly what the devil will want you to pray for. This is because God is not glorified in whether you have wealth or not; rather, He is glorified when you are faithful to Him, whether you have wealth or not.
God gives physical wealth as a reward for your faithfulness to Him. If you want physical wealth, ask for the grace to be faithful to God. You will glorify God if you remain faithful to Him from the time you have no wealth, to the time He gives you wealth. Don’t fall for the ideas of the devil.
Those are enough examples for today…
The last scripture I shared, in 2 Timothy 2:19 and 21, provides a strategy for addressing this rampant problem.
In verse 19, we are told two things: one is that God knows those who are His. This means that God can differentiate requests from His children and those from evil spirits through His children.
Two, is that whoever calls on Christ must depart from sin. Evil spirits can call on Christ, but they can’t depart from sin. For us, we can call on Christ and depart from sin. This means that if we make our requests before God and depart from sin, God will grant our requests.
Verse 21 completes the revelation for us by assuring us that if we cleanse ourselves from sin, we will be vessels of honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
This means that if we sanctify ourselves from the ideologies of Satan and carnal reasoning, we will be pure to serve the Lord’s assignment. This assignment includes offering prayers that align with God’s will, and not the agenda of Satan.
God bless you!
