My heart hurt deeply today as God revealed to me how many psychic prayers were going up in the midst of local congregations. Prayers that should never be uttered...psychic prayers that never reach God's realm, but instead are intercepted by Satan.
A psychic prayer is any prayer that does not line up with the Word of God. When you pray outside the Word, you are praying in a familiar Spirit realm, a realm that opposes God himself.
When anyone does this they are putting themselves into the realm of Satan. And although they may give Satan the opportunity to loose demons to hinder God's people and their purposes, psychic prayers will result in a self proposed cursed, and the children of God (those whom are doing his will) will in the end remain free and blessed.
Pr 18:21
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
James 3:8-10
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Psychic prayers are prayed by those who desire control. They are against the work of God, and/or against the pastor and the church. They often pray against the pastor and their vision. They do this thinking they know more than the Pastor does, and think that by praying like this they will get to control what happens in the church. They believe themselves to be wiser than the ones that God has set in office.
These are usually sick, hurt and/or bitter people. They are people who want to be in ministry or positions of power. They need to be healed and set free, but instead of allowing God to move in their lives through their pastors and leaders, they fight against the very hand they desires to help them.
Sometimes a person in leadership will yield to this seducing spirit because they want to be moved to higher places of authority, or they get hurt, angry or frustrated with the Pastor. When this happens they will begin to pray wrong prayers, again thinking they know more than the Pastor concerning the church.
What they should be doing is getting under the vision of the Pastor, asking God what assignment they have in the fulfillment of the vision. If they do not agree with the Pastor, then they need to leave the church and go to a place where they believe in the Pastoral vision.
Prayers prayed like this are a simple hindrance to the work of God, but will never be a defeat to the pastoral vision. God himself will fight on the behalf of those who align with His Word. God will not go against the vision that he has sent into the man or woman of God. He will stand and fight for that man or woman.
When things are coming against the man or women sent with a vision,
it is from Satan,
and not from God.
it is from Satan,
and not from God.
I have heard people pray things like, "make that person sick if they smoke a cigarette" that is a wrong prayer. To pray a person sick is wrong, no matter how you pray it! And when a person is praying like this they will continue to pray in such manners over other things, like the pastor and the church. Prayers like this will infect the church. But those prayers will not prevail, nor will those pray-ers! Both the prayers and the pray-ers will come to nothing in the long run. Matter of fact anyone who prays like this will soon find that those prayers have opened a curse upon their own heads.
I recall a time when the last Lester Sumrall was in a room and a demon had came into that room and begin to move things about. Brother Sumrall had to deal with the demon...which was a hindrance, but not a defeat. Brother Lester begin to command that spirit back into that room to make things right. He had to obey. All this thing could do was hinder Bro. Sumeral's, sleep and time, but could not overpower him or stop the vision.
When Bro. Hagin was pastoring he begin to recognize a spirit in the church. He begin to pray and God exposed that demon that lurked in the church. Brother Hagin then took authority over that spirit and it had to leave the church.
Another encounter with another minister:
He had been on the mission field and a witchdoctor decided to send a curse over the pastor and his vision. That witchdoctor wanted control, and was loosing that control with the people.
He begin to speak out curses over the pastor, and the pastors physical body was attacked severally, but it was not unto death. Prayer was lifted up over this pastor and the enemy was pushed back into submission. That pastor not only lived, but continue successfully with his mission, and those curse words went back upon those who sent them. The witchdoctor came to nothing of course and the work of God continued.
Psychic prayers will always come back to bite the one who voiced them. Jesus is Lord, and we as his children are victorious. In Him there is no defeat, just life and abundance.
What God has blessed no man can curse in the sense of putting an irreversible, unstoppable curse. Yes, words carry death and life ... but those who love it are the ones who eat the fruit thereof. In other words. Those who curse others will eat the curse themselves. Those who love life, and pray words of blessing and peace according to God's Word will eat the fruit of blessings and peace.
There is nothing that is done in the dark that will not be exposed in the light. It is time for all the psychic pray-ers to understand this, and move over to the winning side. Side with Jesus ... He is Lord!
Pray in line with God's written Word, act in accordance and You will get the victory! All other prayer will come back to bite you, because Satan is a devourer.
If you suspect that anyone has been praying against your pastor or vision, or over your life.
Pray in this manner:
We forgive those who knowingly or unknowingly are praying or speaking against us, break any curses or soul ties, send the demons back to those who sent them, and pray that their eyes will be opened. In Jesus Name ~ Amen
When God is for us ... WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?
