Attacks are on the rise lately by the evil one for many. What do these attacks look like and how do we best contend with them when they occur? In this podcast, Glynda and I have collaborated some of what we have been dealing with as well as how we are fighting through.

Brother Ray, this podcast is timely and just superb! You asked for suggestions for new presentations. How about a discussion about discernment, as in not allowing others to take advantage of us and distract us when we have goals to help others in true need? Such as in, dismissing the distractors and then transferring all of those resources and energies, then going on to deliver them exactly where they need to go. Something like, perhaps, staying the course and staying on track with stewardship and giving no leeway to thieves, spiritual or otherwise. Let me know. 🙂
Thank you Brother! Start making a list of points you may want to discuss and maybe we can craft a podcast out of it. We’re overdue to do one! I believe the Lord is leading me to talk about refinement in my next episode but that should give you plenty of time to write down some ideas and let me know what you come up with. We will talk soon!
Hi Ray. Just listened to the latest podcast that you and Glynda did. You aren’t alone in your struggle. I am not a person who struggles with depression very often. I’m very blessed. Yet lately, I have been struggling. I feel like someone or something has their boot on my neck holding me down to the ground. A weight has been on me that has begun to ease up these last 2 days, thank God. The feeling I have been having for weeks is the same feeling I felt in a dream a month or so ago. In the dream, I was standing in a large crowd of people in what appeared to be a cave. A man up front asked us who was for Jesus. Those that were for Jesus sat down on the floor. Most people sat down. 2 people in the crowd turned to face me with large evil smiles and solid black eyes. Suddenly, I felt a demon come up behind me, grab me by the back of the neck and force my head toward the ground. It asked me mutiple times, “Are you for Him?” I noted it would not say Jesus name. I kept saying “Yes” and would not deny Jesus which angered this demon. As it held my head down I felt it begin to pull something out of my body through the base of my skull. I believe it was my soul. It was a very odd feeling, and yes I could feel it in my dream. Right after it began to pull my soul out, I woke up. That same crushing, dread, depressed feeling I felt in the dream is how I have felt lately. I pray we all get out of this slump we are in. I thank you and appreciate all you do, Ray.
Wow, thank you L.H. for sharing. All of us have had dreams like that at one time or another -and I say that because I know I have. That is the enemy trying to scare us into recanting our faith. I had a dream not long ago (I told Glynda about it) where there was this scraggly looking character walking around acting innocent. I sensed in the dream something was off about him but as he got near me he grabbed onto my shoulders and and it too had black eyes and growled at me saying ‘why won’t you let me in?!’ I recall in my dream I began yelling at it, ‘JESUS! JESUS!’ And I think I then screamed, ‘THE BLOOD OF JESUS!’ and it seemed to dissolve in front of me and that was the end of the dream.
I have heard of people having dreams where they also felt they were trapped and going to die (I have had one or two like that) and the Lord got me/us out of it. The enemy tries to attack when we sleep if he can’t get to us during the day at times because that is when we can be vulnerable but if you are walking closely with the Lord you can fend those off. It will be dreams like yours or it will be sometimes graphic or sexual in nature (for us men anyway). None of it’s pleasant and I have experienced them all. Whatever you do, keep praying. Keep abiding in Jesus.
I think the heaviness, which for me, has been off and on since December, is knowing what is coming and the wearing down of the saints and the weight of everything going on in the world we live as we go into the storm (I believe that is the boot you speak of). Everyone seems to be struggling with something right now in one way or another and on top of that, it is the fact that everything we have known on earth is being destroyed by the evil one. Everything good is/has been corrupted or is in the process of being adulterated. That is why I always say to stay vigilant and keeping our eyes on Jesus because we don’t know what will happen on any day and we never know when we may even go to bed, never to wake up again here on earth. All about being right with the living God and crying out for His mercy. Thank you for sharing your dream and thoughts, L.H.! Jesus Bless you.
Thank you for your response. Often I wonder how long we have left. Many of us with chronic pain get tired sometimes, yet I’m sure even those who don’t have painful physical ailments wonder the same. Has the Lord given you any insight on the window we are looking at? I’ve had dreams and heard words, but haven’t gotten an exact answer on that specifically. Maybe no one knows exactly how long all this will last. I thought I’d ask anyway. 😉
I get tired even without chronic pain -not making light of that at all and I’m sorry to hear that! I believe it’s the season we’re in because I have asked the Lord and He has told me that many of His people are feeling this way, so I can assure you, it’s not just you! Many are experiencing fatigue and malaise at times; Discomfort & sadness.
The Lord has never provided me with a date or window, but when you look at Matthew 24, Jesus said there would be wars and rumors of wars. Revelation 6 is also very telling on where we are. He told me last year that the white horse was riding and I asked Him about the others and He said those would ride as His people pushed back. I talked about this in the podcast, ‘Time Is Running Out.’ Not sure if you were following me at the time I released that episode, but it’s there if you want to go back in the archives to hear it.
If you have noticed lately, not only is the persecution and war on speech heating up but we have rumors of war (Russia, NATO & The US), of which those war drums have been beating louder and louder with a deafening tone. Kingdom rising against kingdom (our country is divided, even the church is divided and a divided house cannot stand), then there’s also the pushback taking place that He told me would occur (and at the time I did not know how) and we are seeing that too. As that takes place, the evil ones are tightening their grip and it would not surprise me at all if a war is started to finish what the clot-shot could not accomplish to bring on the mark and the A.C. Be vigilant because the Lord said these things would happen, but the end is not just yet.
You’re right. Everything is lining up. I heard “the beginning of the end” months ago. Not long after that it was “the sun has set on America” with a brief vision of a sunset while getting ready for bed one night…after many prayers asking the Lord if we had more time or if time was up. I felt I needed to ask the Lord for myself because half these alleged prophets were (and still are) saying one thing and the other half were (and still are) saying the opposite. I was caught in a vicious cycle of going to these prophets for answers. I’ll be honest, though I am so ashamed to admit it, that so many are doing this because it’s quicker and requires much less work on our part to get an answer to the questions we have. What makes it worse is that most people are going to believe whatever they choose to instead of seeking the Lord for the truth. It think that the Lord brought me to the realization that I could go to Him for answers. Prayer, and occasional fasting is required, but He is my main source of information now. Sometimes I get an answer soon after, and other times it takes a while to get an answer, but God always answers. You Glenda have your place in Gods Kingdom for preparing others for what’s coming as well as sharing the gospel, but we all have access to God. We can all go to Him for answers and trust He will bless us with them when we seek Him and when He wants us to know those answers. I still do appreciate a true servant of The Lords insight from time to time because there is value in another’s perspective, but now I know I don’t have to rely on others for answers. I’m so grateful that that weight has been lifted. Just watching it all play out is a bit nerve wrecking though! 🙂
It certainly is for sure! We have to watch it play out while those in the world continue to play games but we stay strong in our faith because we know that’s what the Lord wants us to do. I have heard in my spirit many times over the last few years, ‘Stand strong My son, Stand strong.’ Thank you for your very pertinent comment. Yes I agree we are still in that ‘itching ears’ phase. All we can do is be honest about what the Word says.
Oh I listened to you and Glynda today. Great podcast! I too have had same problems with electronics as well as others I know. Brother Ray I also listened to the podcast the other day about the Wilderness and commented on it. Your channel is new to me and I am always elated to see you pop up!
The way you hear the LORD speaking to you is awesome. I have been asking HiM but no answers yet HE does speak to me in scripture though and through others with words of knowledge. Thank you so much for all you are doing and much appreciated. Love in CHRIST.
Sister Janet
Amen Janet. Thank you for reaching out and for your nice comment. The very first time I heard Him was when I was so lost and in despair and not seeing a reason to exist. Then after His initial instructions He went silent for a long time (well what we consider a long time) and I had to cry out for Him daily. I asked Him to reveal Himself and I kept seeking Him daily on what He wanted me to do. I told Him I am ready to listen and hear Him when He is ready to speak and I still do that to this day, mainly though when He may go silent if I am being tested on something. He does test us from time to time!
In my wilderness, I kept leaning in and praying and crying out until He began to speak. I learned how to confess my sins. I learned to give thanks. I kept calling on Him regardless of what was going on. There were ups and downs in the learning process but then we are never truly done learning! He began speaking to me in dreams first, then I would pray and lean in and listen. Then He began revealing meanings of His Word. It would also then come as a nudge to do something or get out of the way if an argument or attack was coming. I could feel His spirit warning me and I learned through trial and error how to discern it was Him. The more time I spent with Him, the more I heard from Him. If you are only getting discernment in scripture, keep knocking because He will answer. Remember prayer without ceasing. He will answer. The Lord always answers prayer -but be aware it may not always be in the way you expect or want.
Take it in stride and realize He may be teaching you something and don’t be afraid to say some dangerous prayers. It may seem scary to do so and you may go through some valley’s, but He will lead you through, and you will be glad you did though it may not seem that way to you at first. Remember His ways our above ours! Confess to Him you would like to know Him better, for His spirit to come upon you to speak to you. Learn as much as you can about Him in between prayer as that is what He desires. He won’t punish you. I used to fall asleep with earplugs in listening to His Word. Whichever way works best to consume His bread! Quote His Word; ‘How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? (Psalm 13:1). Be persistent. The Lord loves persistence and He desires your strong need for Him!
Jesus Bless you Janet! Thank you again for reaching out and supporting this ministry!
I love to listen to your podcasts. I know exactly what you are saying. I am listening to this. But, I am experiencing the same thing. The absolute quiet. I have a podcast. My Little house of Prayer ministry. I am following your podcast. This is so powerful. I am hoping this encourages you.
Thank you Dayla. And thank you for the prayer that Glynda said during the show!
