Disciple of Prayer
Dear Brothers and Sinsters in Christ, hope you are well. I am happy to find this prayer community. I made a decision to step down from my leadership position in the prayer ministry to try and find my faith again. I've served in the church in many roles, Sunday school teacher, Bible school leader, prayer ministry leader, but somewhere along the way I started to struggle in my faith. God seems very far and life seems hopeless. I came to know the Lord my first year in college about 21 years ago. I had a hunger to know God, pray, read the Bible, and share about Christ. My 20s was a time of spiritual maturity, however in my early 30s I began to struggle in my faith and I really do not know what to do. I was born with a rare eye condition, I cannot see clearly so rely on speech technology to use the computer. Life has had it's challenges but somehow God has helped me through most of those difficulties. The hardest part in my life was in May 2012 when I woke up one morning and struggled to walk. I've gone to a few Pentecostal churches for prayer and strange manifestations would happen in my legs and feet such things moving around and crawling inside, but no healing or deliverance took place. Additionally, since the walking problems started, I began to be able to see spirit beings in the form of shaddows and after reaching out to several pastors, evangelists, and deliverance ministries locally and overseas by phone, no one has been able to help with deliverance. There is a lot I do not understand about deliverance and spiritual warfare, can you help? I know that with 100% certainty the issue I have requires deliverance. In March of 2013, I found some self-deliverance prayers online and on day seven of praying, strange manifestations happened in my legs and feet, and things inside were poking me, they also shook my body violently and my body was having loud convulsions, they calmed down once my friends prayed over me, but no one has been able to cast out the spirit beings keeping me cripple for the last several years. This might seem very strange to people who have not experienced this, but I have experienced this and it is real. Hosea 4:6 says that people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, and there is little understanding on spiritual warfare in the church. God had delivered me out of two nearly fatal car accidents on the freeway. Once in December 2006 when my dad drove me home from school, and once in June of 2016 when my dad drove me home from work. The first time we got hit by a drunk driver who died on the spot, the second was a car speeding in excess of 90 miles per hour who hit us from behind. I know God can save, deliver, and rescue, but satan tries to kill, steal, and destroy. I feel like I am going through intense spiritual warfare but not sure how to fight. God feels very distant, I feel deeply discouraged, and I struggle to worship. I feel like I am facing a losing battle each day and do not know how to get spiritually healthy again. What do you advise? I want to get free from the demons oppressing me, and experience a deep and intimate relationship with God.
