PRAY FOR SPIRITUAL EYES TO BE OPENED BY THE LORD

Every Knee Shall Bow
I would like to share a brief testimony that I believe relates to a dream I had last night (October 29, 2020 at around 3:30am)
1 Corinthians 2:14 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Testimony:
Although this has happened very sporadically to me in the past (say three or four times in a period of 5 years), I have had five encounters with people under demonic influence in the last month. I believe this is due, not only to the fact that the Lord has moved me to look for Him in a more intimate way, but also that demonic activity has increased tremendously lately.
I’ll recount them briefly just for you to get an awareness and not stressing on giving the enemy any prominence.
#1 I was waiting outside the hospital for my husband to get out of surgery when in a period of a couple of hours I saw a man walking back and forth with difficulty and with a bandage in his finger. We were close to the entrance of the ER. He looked in need of company and I felt in my heart for him. At some point he sat by my side (I was standing) and looked and me and said: “I am so lonely. I have nobody.” Long story short, I listened to him for a while and as soon as I began speaking about Christ and telling him Jesus was as close to him as a prayer was. Out of nowhere a man sits in front of us and starts yelling and singing nonsense. Before I looked at him I could feel in my spirit what was going on. He was trying to distract and spiritually intimidate me. After I did not stop what I was doing he looked at me and left.
#2 I am buying something in a store and looking very close at some items on the shelf. I feel in my spirit something very heavy and bad. When I turn I see a couple looking for something on the same shelf. In this case I knew they were just under heavy oppression. That was not intended to affect me, but I could “see” it operating in them.
#3 I am at the park exercising when a woman just passes me by and without even talking or approaching me, what was operating in her I could feel and I prayed for protection, rebuked the spirit, and for God’s mercy on her. After that she looked at me several times and I believed she had noticed/felt the prayer in some way.
#4 and #5 Same park. A man approaches me to ask if I want to participate in a TV spot they were recording for Thanksgiving. As he comes close I can see how the demonic oppressions affecting him have changed who he really is. There was a deep sadness and emptiness to him. Even the color of his skin, his face, and expressions reflected that. Another man is jogging and from far away I could see the chains he carries. However he’s rejoicing in his sinful life.
Dream:
There was a clear night sky and I saw what appeared to be two moons in their waxing crescent phase to the right of the actual moon. They looked bigger and at some point I thought they could be planets. I could also see other signs in the sky and I immediately got excited and began telling people around to look to the sky. I told them very happily that this meant Jesus was coming soon. That these were signs He’s close to coming back.
Although these signs were shocking I was not scared, but hopeful and happy. I saw a group of people I know to be believers and said: See that? Jesus is coming! Some were just perplexed, and others would acknowledge that was indeed a sign of His coming, but were shocked and kind of not expecting Him.
I took this great event as a chance to speak about His coming and began to witness more fervently and tried to get the acknowledgement from the Christians around me kind of to help me in witnessing others around that did not believe, so they could be converted and believe. It felt like a hard job. Those who I know believed, would quietly do so and not engage in witnessing.
Then at the end of the room I saw a person I know is a true believer and very outspoken, and engaged with her. She nodded at what I said, but tried to spin the conversation when I got to the part of people confessing Jesus as their savior to be able to get to heaven. She would very skilfully divert the subject, and at some point even joked about hell as if that was not true or a big deal.
I stopped our conversation and explained about heaven and how to get there and hell and how people end up there. Then I asked her directly to confess Jesus as the only way to heaven.
Her demeanor changed immediately and she began to reveal her true identity. I felt a demonic entity working in her and walked some steps away from her praying and rebuking. I entered into a strong spiritual battle and passed by some of those other Christians. They were just looking. I kept praying and just told them: “Any of you that has the Holy Spirit, please pray for me while I am in this battle”. No one was ready. I kept praying and went to follow this person to keep praying over her. I knew her as a true believer and was worried about her present state. When I looked at her she was not the person I thought she was.
It was a deception. She looked like a totally different person. Much older that the “face” of the friend I had seen. She was deteriorated and full of the evil. She tried to restrain the evil in her and acknowledged I could now see who she/it really was. I kept telling her about Jesus and she kept walking away. I kept following her and could see her getting uglier and darker, but still restraining the evil in herself.
I kept following her trying to witness salvation and apparently asked her why she was doing this because she said: “He knows we don’t have much time left”. (I understood she meant Satan). At some point I realized I have been led a long way away from where I was, just following this person who apparently was trying to get me some place.
I stopped and retook the goal that made me go after her. I saw again some Christians around me and explained her spiritual condition to them. Again I said: “if there is anyone with the Holy Spirit here, please help me pray for her.” Only one person did. The rest just left. I had made the decision not to pursue her anymore walking behind her. But before leaving asked her directly: Do you want to receive Jesus as your Savior? She turned to me not restraining herself anymore and her eyes turned into the eyes of a serpent. I could for a fraction of a second feel all this evil and rage against me as the demon in her was manifested.
I woke up.
Bride of Christ. Please, pray, pray, pray. Don’t be deceived. I felt in my spirit as I woke up that our enemy is working hard trying to ensnare us using skillful tactics and subtleties. Ask for discernment. Ask the Lord to make you strong for battle. He’s the one who fights for us. Allow Him to cleanse you daily. Subject your thoughts to Him daily. He’s our Victory!!! PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ AND MEDITATE IN ALL RELATED SCRIPTURES BELOW.
Luke 21:25-28
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh
