THE STRANGERS SHALL WITHER

Many Christians today are suffering seriously and they do not know the sources, Affliction plagues them day and night and they begin to wonder what is happening. The enemy has so concealed his machinations that the Bible calls them strangers,

Psalm 18:44-46:

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. ⁴⁵The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. ⁴⁶The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

These same verses can be read as follow:

“Stranger shall fail, the aliens shall wither.” It can also be read as: “The stranger shall lose their hearts and shall come trembling out of their closed places. Another way of reading it is, they will come quickly out of their strange places, and they shall come trembling out of their strong hold. One thing that is striking in all these variation is that is “the stranger shall wither.”

WHAT OR WHO IS A STRANGER?

A stranger is simply a thing or an object that is residing in or occupying the wrong place. A person becomes a stranger when he leaves his home and country for another that is not familiar. An object becomes a stranger when it leaves its normal abode; for example a pair of scissors in the stomach, chain in the heart and so on. When these happen, they are strangers.

These strangers usually have their abode where the Bible calls closed places or strongholds. These strangers usually have their strong holds deeply hidden. They are always very difficult to locate, and to destroy, but when dangerous and violent prayers are prayed, and their strongholds are challenged, then that which Bible says shall occur; the stranger shall fade away and be afraid out of their closed places.

LIFE EXPERIENCES

It happened once, that we prayed for a woman who had been pregnant for 18 months and when she went into labour, a very strange thing happened. She delivered a black nylon bag! The question now is this, how did this nylon bag enter into her body?

At Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries in Port Harcourt, live animals came out of people. A live rat came out a person and it was caught, kept in a bottle and the picture was taken.

Some people have been delivered of live animals after undergoing deliverance at the Mountain of fire and Miracle Ministries Prayer City. When you see live snakes and rats, coming out of people that are alive, you begin to wonder; How did they get there? There is no way a person harbouring live animals in him can live a meaningful life.

There are cases in which whole living beings have walked out of people all because they dared to challenge the strangers and their strongholds with hot prayers.

There was a brother who was wallowing in abject poverty. Not satisfied with his situation, he prayed some terrible hot prayers and in broad day light, not in a dream or vision, he saw an old man dressed in rags looking like a beggar walked out of him. The old man moved forward, turned and waved at the brother and the brother waved back at him; that was the end of his poverty, lack and want.

Maybe, you are reading this book and you are wallowing in poverty or you are not satisfied with your condition take this prayer and the Lord will surprise you.

By the power of the Holy Ghost, I move from where I am to where I am supposed to be, in the name of Jesus.

There was a time when a paralysed man was brought to one of our meetings, and as we prayed, this man actually felt something coming out of his head and he grabbed it.

The more the prayers, the longer the object and by the time we finished, the object measured the width of a ruler and as tall as the man himself. It was brought out and he received instant healing. Who on earth could have convinced him that a ruler had been programmed into his life? Or who can convince a man that another living being resides in him?

There was another case of a woman, who, after a prayer meeting, felt like using the toilet and came back with two living mud fishes that came out of her! This was at the MFM church in Jos, northern Nigeria. Now, how did these fishes get into her?

I have seen so many situations where strange things came out of people and I have heard of so many cases in which crawling animals came out of people.

There are many people in these situations but who do not know how to break free or set themselves lose. The Bible says in the book of Matthew 11:12 that

Matthew 11:12

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

The Bible passages above makes mention of violence and the violent. How else can one describe the presence of animals, nylon bags, rulers and other strange objects in the body, except wicked violence?

These spirits are very clever and they usually conceal their strongholds deep in their host. They are continually corrupting, perverting and destroying every segment of life and human beings. They are carrying out their mission of killing, stealing and destruction almost unhindered. This free access, which they enjoy, is because of ignorance. Man is ignorant and this allows them to operate unmolested and because there is no resistance they initiate internal decay that leads to external destruction.

This is the devil’s strategy.

THE OPERATIONS / ACTIVITIES OF STRANGERS

Some people do not seem to know that life is a battle and that there are powers that govern the universe where we live in.

Many a time, we experience internal struggles or confusion. This implies that there is a stranger there in. When these strangers are not challenged, they exert an influence over one’s life. One may think all is well and that he is doing fine but that ‘fine’ may be the lowest level of the things God has in stock for you.

The time has come to look within us and not outside for the enemies. Your wife is not the enemy, neither is he any of your children. Rather, deep inside of you lies the great enemy hidden. These hidden enemies are the ones responsible for the dreams, nightmares and they enjoy immunity because you are binding what is on the outside rather than what is on the inside.

They are also responsible for the death of good things in the lives of people. They engineer failure at the edge of breakthroughs. Mysterious financial failures and many other afflictiors are part of their activities.

These hidden killers also intensify the warfare of the enemy on the people. Their activities on the inside allow their cohorts on the outside to boast and one begins to wonder why. They are inside you, working hard to ensure that you do not progress.

You may be tempted to say you have no stronghold in you, but if you would pray sincerely and challenge them violently, they will come trembling out of their closed places and you will see the difference in your life.

It saddens me to know that, many people are operating below God’s level for their lives. Many people have potentials but these have been buried, all because there is a stranger hiding in a closed place.

Life does not permit a vacuum; nature does not leave gaps and God does not create gaps. At anytime, somebody or something has to be in charge. Every empty space must be filled. Your life has to be controlled either by God or the devil, the choice is yours.

There is this testimony of a man of God, who went into seven days dry fast with a deliverance candidate. On the seventh day, as the man of God prepared to break his fast, the Lord made him to see the inside of the candidate.

Right there was a throne and a king sat on it; the Lord said to him; for seven days you have fasted and prayed with this man but you have only sent the messengers and house boys packing, the king is still there. Now do you want to break your fast or continue?

Many people go for deliverance and at the slightest appearance of victory or breakthrough, they quit yet the king remains on the throne. You need to be extremely violent.

SORTS OF STRANGERS

Hidden strangers in closed places are basically of two sorts.

Evil spirits.

Evil deposits.

Some people are always eating or being fed in the dreams, these constitute

evil deposits. Though they may have stopped eating in the dream but the fact is that these things are still there, deeply hidden and they must be destroyed.

Some have been having spirit husbands and wives visiting and depositing things in them, they may have stopped but their deposits need to be destroyed.

Strangers in the body include programmed hidden sicknesses spiritual padlocks, evil marks and identifications. All these things have their set time, they wait and watch for the weak hour and then they strike violently. But if you would get violent with holy anger, their works would certainly be destroyed.

There was the case of a girl, that saw the mark ‘666’ on her body. She got to school and showed her teacher. Thinking it was all a joke, she instructed her to wash it off but when the girl explained that she had been washing for hours and upon a closer look, the mark was found to be on the inside and not outside, that was the end of school for that day. Similarly some people would wake up only to find scratches all over their body, it is an evil mark.

Animals, as we have already seen, can be programmed into the life of a person and as the person moves or progresses, the animal moves and progresses too.

Employing demonic house-helps also bring about strongholds and strangers. These demonic beings that do the cooking will initiate almost all, if not all the household. The food they cook does not join the digestive system but stays aside to do its evil assignment. They are evil deposit and must be destroyed totally.

Strangers can also be described as dematerialized objects. This usually confounds people, making them to think it impossible. How does one explain a continuos pounding in the head as though a mortar where were being used? How does one explain the presence of a nylon bag in the womb? These things are first dematerialized before they are programmed.

Strangers in the body also refer to wicked human spirits that can get out of

their original owners and begin to influence the lives of others.

Strangers also refer to evil blood and growths. You hear of sudden and mysterious cases of anaemia, leukemia, fibroid, cancer, ulcer, kidney, stones and so on, they are all strangers that will flee their strongholds if only we would pray.

Failure or refusal to address these strangers is a direct invitation to evil visitors that divert good things away and cause bondage. The woman was bent for 18 years. For 18 years she was in bondage, and had good things diverted from her. But when she met with Jesus, He ordered her to be loosed. Strange as this prayer may be, but it worked. Jesus could see the rope binding her and He ordered it lose.

Refusal to deal with strangers and stronghold, causes people to commit unpardonable mistakes. It creates internal sicknesses, provides ladder for satanic attacks facilitates sudden death and destruction.

They need to be dealt with. As they act as internal smugglers, they pass virtues to the enemies, kill, steal, destroy and cause confusion. These are terrible cowardly powers that will surely run out, if only you would pray with all sincerity and from the bottom of your heart.

Beloved, it is not enough to just read and say the prayers, you need to digest every word in this book and pray, violently, all the prayer points. It is time you moved ahead in life.

STEPS TO FREEDOM

How can you experience freedom from these kinds of problems?

To be free would require a great amount of violence on your part. You need to get violent in your spirit with your situation and pray violent prayers.

To be free, you need to surrender your life to Jesus. You must repent from and forsake all forms of sins.

You must also decide in your heart to hate the strangers with perfect hatred and that you want to be free.

You must also curse them and speak destruction unto them as you pray to root them out.

Finally, you pray barricading prayers that will prevent them from returning to your life, It is recorded that when an unclean spirit has left a man, it does not go far, rather it stays close looking at the place where he had been sent out and when he sees that the place is clean and garnished, he will now say, “I will return to my house,” and if the place is unoccupied, he invites seven more wicked spirits and the end is therefore worse than the beginning.

It is very sad, to know that two spirits can control a person’s life. The example of Saul readily comes to mind. He was prophesying, yet he was tearing his clothes, This was possible because Saul was an unstable character. He was violent, selfwilled, envious and temperamental. All these combined to finish him off.

Finally, two things determine the rapidity of your deliverance.

Level of secret sin. What is that thing that you engage in, in the secret? The more they are, the slower your release.

Secondly, your background. If your background is that of pronounced idol worship or occult activities, you need to be extra violent and aggressive while praying the following prayer points.

If only you would pray, all those things, which have been pronounced dead,

would come alive, All the cages used to hold you back would be broken.
