MY BABY HUSBAND Episode 14 – Ayo Omolayo
I was completely amazed by what I was learning this morning. It was so wonderful to watch God’s word destroy the strongholds of the Enemy in your mind.
“Lord! Thank you so much!” I said as I wrote a few more lines and placed a full stop.
“JULIET, LET’S TAKE APOSTLE PAUL AS A CASE STUDY. THE MAN PERSECUTED BELIEVERS SO MUCH THAT EVERYONE DREADED HIM. ONCE YOU HEAR HIS NAME AND YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN, START RUNNING. OH! HE’S OUR ENEMY! HE’S A KILLER! HE’S AN EVIL MAN. LOOK AT WHAT HE DID TO ME. HE KILLED MY UNCLE AND BEAT MY TWELVE YEAR OLD SON SO BADLY. HE DIDN’T OVERLOOK THE FACT THAT HE WAS A LITTLE CHILD. I’LL NEVER FORGIVE HIM FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE.
BUT YEARS LATER THE SAME PAUL STOOD AND SAID, I DID IT OUT OF IGNORANCE. I THOUGHT I WAS WORKING FOR GOD BUT UNKNOWINGLY, I WAS DOING THE DEVIL’S BIDDING”.
“Hmmmmm! This is awesome!”
“SO THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE MAN, BUT THE SPIRIT USING THE MAN AGAINST US. LEAVE THE MAN ALONE, GO AFTER THE SPIRIT. FOR WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD BUT AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES, AGAINST POWERS, AGAINST RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD, AGAINST SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HEAVENLY PLACES.
THAT’S OUR OPPONENT, NOT THE CONFUSED PERSON WHO FAILED TO KEEP HIS HEART WITH ALL DILIGENCE AND ALLOWED THE DEVIL OVERCOME HIS MIND AND ENSLAVE HIM.
THAT’S WHY I TOLD YOU TO LOVE YOUR ENEMIES. IF A CHRISTIAN OPENS HIS MOUTH AND SAYS YOU ARE CRAZY, IT’S A SIGN THAT THE PERSON NEEDS YOUR HELP. MANY PEOPLE WOULD CALL YOU A FOOL IN THEIR HEARTS AND SMILE WHEN THEY SEE YOU. BUT THE MAN WHO OPENS HIS MOUTH TO REVEAL THE STATE OF HIS DARK HEART IS MORE HONEST THAN THE HYPOCRITE THAT HIDES HIS CURSES WITH A FRIENDLY SMILE.
SO PRAY FOR THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU. IF THE BELIEVERS NEVER PRAYED FOR PAUL JUST AS I COMMANDED THEM IN SCRIPTURE, THEY WOULD HAVE LOST A GENERAL IN THE FAITH. BUT MATTHEW AND THE APOSTLES ENCOURAGED THEM THAT IT WAS GOD’S WILL TO PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTORS AND THEY ALL COMPLIED. THEIR PRAYERS CAME TO HEAVEN AND I HAD TO GO AFTER PAUL.
SO CAN YOU SEE THE REASON WHY YOU HAVE TO PRAY FOR YOUR ENEMIES? THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY ENEMIES, BUT SATAN’S PUPPETS. THE REAL ENEMY IS THE ONE CONFUSING THEIR MINDS WITH LIES. THAT’S THE ONE YOU SHOULD GO AFTER.
“Lord! But the bible says, do not suffer the witch to live. That means we are to destroy them. What do you have to say about that”.
“GOOD QUESTION! I NEED TO OPEN YOUR HEART TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW TESTAMENT. BUT THE ONLY THING I WANT TO POINT OUT IS THIS. IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, THE ENEMY WAS NOT THE DEVIL.TRUE OR FALSE?”
“True!” I answered.
“SECONDLY, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, THE WEAPONS OF THEIR WARFARE WERE CARNAL. TRUE OR FALSE?”
“True!”
“OPEN TO DEUTERONOMY 18:10”
I quickly opened my Bible and read.
“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch”.
“SO CAN YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE? IN THOSE DAYS, WITCHES WERE IDOLATERS WHO BROUGHT IN FALSE WORSHIP AMONG MY PEOPLE. OPEN TO CHAPTER 13 OF DEUTERONOMY AND START FROM VERSE ONE”.
I quickly flipped my Bible and read.
“If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder.
Verse 2. And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them.
Verse 3. Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Verse 4. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
Verse 5. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
Verse 6. If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
Verse 7. Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
Verse 8. Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
Verse 9. But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
Verse 10. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage”.
“ANY PERSON WHO TRIED TO STOP MY PEOPLE FROM WORSHIPPING ME, WAS TO BE KILLED AND THE WITCH WAS IN THIS CATEGORY. I GAVE THE LAWS AND PUT THE SWORD IN THR HANDS OF MY PEOPLE AND COMMANDED THE DEATH OF ANYONE WHO TRIED TO PROMOTE THE WORSHIP OF FALSE GODS.
SO IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, PEOPLE HAVE USED THIS SCRIPTURE WRONGLY TO THINK I HAVE PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF A SINNER. NO! JESUS DIED FOR THOSE ENSLAVED IN OCCULTISM. WIZARDS AND WITCHES WERE ALSO PART OF MY PLAN. THEY ARE PART OF THE PEOPLE JESUS CAME TO REDEEM.
“So what do we do with them?” I asked.
“THEY ARE NOTHING BUT LOST SOULS. INTERCEDE FOR THEM. PRAY FOR THEM. DON’T ALLOW SATAN USE THEM AND WASTE THEM IN HELL. MANY OF THEM ARE THE APOSTLE PAULS THE BODY OF CHRIST ARE WAITING FOR. BUT SATAN SNATCHED THEM FROM US AND LABELLED THEM WITCHES. SO WE STAY AWAY FROM THEM AND HATE THEM,. NOT KNOWING THAT IF YOU CAST OUT THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT IN HER, SHE BECOMES A VESSEL FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DWELL.
NEVER FORGET THIS JULIET! I HAVE NO PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF A SINNER. DON’T FORGET THIS!”
I smiled as I wrote them down.
“IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, MY PEOPLE FOUGHT AMALAKITIES, HITITES, AMORITIES, PHILISTINES, SYRIANS AND MUCH MORE. BUT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, WE HAVE A DIFFERENT KIND OF COMBAT AND WEAPONS. SO STOP THINKING WITCHES ARE PART OF THEM. PAUL CLEARLY STATED WHO WE WERE FIGHTING. PRINCIPALITIES, POWERS, RULERS OF DARKNESS AND SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HEAVENLY PLACES. WITCHES WERE NOT INCLUDED.
“But Lord! Sometimes we pray against witches during warfare prayers and sometimes we see them confessing and dying. Aren’t you the one who killed them?” I asked.
“YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE JUDGMENT OF GOD OPERATES. IT’S LIKE WITH CAIN AND ABEL. REMEMBER HOW I TRIED TO WARN CAIN OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN BEFORE THE CALAMITY THAT BEFELL HIM. EVEN WHEN I WAS ANGRY WITH CAIN AND WANTED TO JUDGE HIM, I GAVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONFESS HIS SINS.
I ASKED CAIN, WHERE IS YOUR BROTHER ABEL? IS IT BECAUSE I DIDN’T SEE HIM WHEN HE KILLED HIM? I WANTED HIM TO KNEEL DOWN AND TELL ME HOW SORRY HE WAS FOR KILLING HIM. I WANTED HIM TO WEEP AND BEG FOR MERCY. BUT HE HARDENED HIS HEART AND OPENED HIS MOUTH TO TELL ME, I DON’T KNOW, AM I MY BROTHER’S KEEPER?
THAT’S HOW HIS DOOM CAME ON HIM. THE SAME GOES TO ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA. YES, I GAVE THEM ROOM TO REPENT AND SAVE THEIR LIVES. PETER ASKED THEM, DID YOU SELL THE LAND FOR THIS AMOUNT?
IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONFESS AND SAY, ACTUALLY, WE KEPT PART OF THE MONEY FOR OUR FINANCIAL UPKEEP. PETER WOULD HAVE PRAYED FOR THEM AND SENT THEM AWAY. BUT THEY HARDENED THEIR HEARTS AND WENT AHEAD WITH THEIR CALCULATED LIES. THAT WAS HOW THEIR DESTRUCTION CAME.
I AM A GOD OF LOVE, MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT. BUT I AM ALSO A GOD OF JUDGMENT. THE LIVING WATER, BUT ALSO THE CONSUMING FIRE. THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE WITCHES WHO CONFESSED AND DIED. YES I KILL AND MAKE ALIVE. I GAVE THEM ROOM TO REPENT BUT THEY PERSISTED IN WICKEDNESS. JULIET, EVERY HUMAN BEING ON EARTH HAS A SPECIFIC TIME GIVEN TO THEM FOR REPENTANCE. OPEN TO REVELATION 2:20″.
I quickly opened my Bible and read it out.
“Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Verse 21. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Verse 22. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Verse 23. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works”.
I smiled, awed by the revelations from these scriptures.
“THAT DOESN’T MEAN IT WAS ACTUALLY YOUR PRAYERS THAT CAUSED THAT CALAMITY TO BEFALL THEM. THAT’S WHY SOMETIMES YOU PRAY FOR WITCHES TO DIE AND ITS AS IF GOD DIDN’T HEAR YOU. HES ONLY FOLLOWING HIS CALENDAR. YOU CAN’T RUSH HIM. AND YOU ALL KNOW THAT ONCE JUDGMENT HAS ARRIVED, GOD STIRS UP HIS PEOPLE AND USES THEM TO UNLEASH VENGEANCE ON THE UNREPENTANT. JUST LIKE HE WOULD TELL SAUL TO GO AND DESTROY ALL THE AMALAKITIES. BECAUSE OF THE SWORD OF AGAG THAT HAD BEEN MAKING WOMEN CHILDLESS.
AND SAUL WENT THERE ONLY TO MESS THINGS UP. HE DIDN’T KNOW THAT IT WAS JUDGEMENT THAT WAS TAKING PLACE. GOD WANTED TO PUNISH AGAG FOR HIS WICKEDNESS, BUT HE MESSED IT UP.
SO WHENEVER IT IS TIME FOR GOD TO UNLEASH HIS JUDGEMENT ON THE UNREPENTANT WITCH. HE USES THE INSTRUMENTALITY OF MEN’S WARFARE PRAYERS TO DO SO. SO IT WOULD LOOK AS IF IT WAS YOUR PRAYERS THAT ACTUALLY KILLED THEM, BUT IT WAS GOD TELLING THE WITCH YOUR TIME IS UP. THAT’S WHY SOMETIMES YOU PRAY THEY SHOULD DIE BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. AND SOMETIMES, YOU ARE JUST PRAYING SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT AND ONE UNCLE IN THE VILLAGE DIES”.
