hi it's Jennifer LeClaire you probably know me from books like the making of a
prophet or the spiritual warriors guide to defeating Jezebel I want to talk to
you today about spiritual warfare I mean intense spiritual warfare how
many of you listening to me and you can shoot me an email later and let me know
at Jennifer at Jennifer LeClaire.org how many of you have been facing intense
spiritual warfare lately I mean exhaustion fatigue you just feel like
you want to give up infirmities coming against your body imagination is just
onslaught just an onslaught of negative thoughts and and feelings and it's just
like a barrage you know I noticed that this time every year this time when Lent
starts it just seems like all hell breaks loose against me and this is not
a coincidence this is a demonic cycle this is a this is a running theme as I
like to sometimes say with regard to spiritual warfare you know sometimes you
see things and they pop up here here and here you know with this relationship
with that project with this thing over here and it's like this running theme
and that's the enemy popping his head up like one of those wacko moles you know
in every different direction but we have authority over the enemy we don't have
to be as afraid or worried but we do need to be wise we need to be wise and
we need to be equipped for spiritual warfare so this week I wrote an article
called when Jezebel's witchcraft keeps you up at night
yeah I've been going through it I'm going to share some of that with you
because every year like I said every year at this time this onslaught of
witchcraft comes against me and I'm not talking about Wiccans I'm not talking
about you know which is I'm talking about spiritual witchcraft a spiritual
force that comes against us it's a demonic force it's it's among the the
demonic hierarch that hierarchy that Paul mentions we talking about it in
Ephesians 6 you know principalities and powers and and spiritual forces and
spiritual wickedness and dark places it's part of this whole hierarchy and
where exactly it falls can be debated but it's one of the enemies I believe
and you know we we read about witchcraft in the Bible
Jezebel's witchcraft sin in Kings we read about that so I want to talk to you
about that you know this year the enemy used a
different tactic against me something I wasn't quite expecting and something I
wasn't I didn't prepare myself for it quite frankly and and so you know I've
corrected that now that I've corrected it I'm going to share it with you but
you know since since these spiritual forces of darkness is wicked forces
these demonic attacks since its they couldn't slow me down during the day
because back in the early days when I was battling witchcraft it would it
would get me during the day and I just fall asleep I mean I would just sleep
and sleep and sleep and it was like this haze that came on me this witchcraft I
didn't know what it was so you know I couldn't fight it or I'd fight it but I
didn't have the revelation I needed to overcome it at the time so you know they
really can't get me like that in the daytime anymore so it attacked me
at night let me back up a minute now I know that some people are going to like
me saying this but it's true that it seems like when lint starts every year
you know some people have this tendency to exalt Mary the mother of Jesus and we
know that that's not God's will because we read in read Philippians 2 9 through
11 you know that God highly exalted Jesus and gave him the name above all
names that at every name at the name of Jesus every knee must bow of those in
heaven and of those on earth and of those under the earth and that every
tongue should confess that Jesus is Lord to the glory of the father so Jesus is
Lord Jesus is the exalted one Jesus is the one we are supposed to be exalting
right not Mary and so when we're Mary listen where Mary is exalted
I believe it empowers that spirit of Jezebel and her witchcraft because you
know some people in some religions refer to Mary as the Queen of Heaven but see
ashteroth which was the chief pagan goddess of war and sex mentioned in the
Old Testament is also known as the Queen of Heaven and that's disturbing you can
read this as in Scripture look here in Jeremiah 7 it's at its the ashteroth
spirit that's behind Jezebel the Lord speaks of the Queen ahead
in Jeremiah 7 noting that the people of Judah were giving offerings to other
gods and provoking him to anger in other words they were offering this Queen of
Heaven they were offering asteroth they were offering Jezebel the exaltation and
the praise and the the offerings that were due to to the Lord to the Father
and he didn't like that it made him angry
of course Old Testament Jezebel's father was f pal who was the high priest of
this goddess asteroth you know you can read all about this in my book the
spiritual warriors guide to defeating Jezebel how to overcome immorality
control and idolatry I can't go through all that here obviously in this short
video but I want to I want to make clear this is scriptural I'd I've dug it out
I've read it I've studied it I've lived it so again this mary worship this is
exaltation of Mary the Queen of Heaven now I also known as well must you know
I'm going to stop there because it gets dicey you've got to read it you've got
to study this for yourself but here's the bottom line when Mary is lifted up
to replace that Jesus belongs I believe and it's been my experience that it
unleashes demonic activity in a territory and as that demonic activity
increases people begin to report and I'm getting emails and Facebook messages
from people all over the world feelings of oppression you know intense spiritual
warfare fatigue just worn out no reason for it strong warfare against the mind
and infirmities people getting sick for no reason migraine headaches people feel
like quitting they want to give up they don't want to go on another day you know
physical manifestations for which doctors can find no reason okay so are
you experiencing any of these things is this sort of ringing your bell I you
know so I submitted you then it could be spiritual witchcraft that you're dealing
with and I'm gonna also I've got another book and maybe by the time you see this
video it's already out but it's called Satan's deadly trio and it deals with
these issues real practical stuff you know and this is something again that
I've lived through I've walked through and so I can share it with you and I
want to share it with you because it's you know if you don't know what you're
dealing with you know you really start to feel like gosh what is wrong with me
you know so when
craft is particularly heavy and the spiritual climate I mean my eyes
sometimes actually burn everything seems like a much bigger deal than it really
is because witchcraft magnifies the bad witchcraft distracts you and diverts
your attention away from Jesus the Prince of Peace over onto this problem
makes a mountain out of a molehill I mean you know it's intense you know
enemy can use people to release witchcraft at you through word curses
you can release witchcraft at yourself through the words of your mouth when
they're out of line with the Word of God when Yuri bell all right you can you can
feel like you're under this dark spiritual Club the good news is you can
you can also break it we're going to get to that in a minute but let me go back
to my story I started out talking to you about earlier
you know this year witchcraft couldn't get me by day and don't get me wrong
Lent is not the only time of the year that we have to deal with this spiritual
witchcraft it's all year long but it intensifies during Lent all right so
this year witchcraft couldn't get me by day I was I was ready for the onslaught
I mean I was ready like okay I've got my calendar marked I know there's going to
be a spiritual shift and I know that it's going to get worse and worse and
worse until until Easter when it breaks so instead witchcraft attacked me at
night when I was sleeping I tell you I have had some of the absolute worst
horrific nightmares I've ever had over the past couple of weeks really bad
stuff I won't even speak it out of my mouth because I'm not going to give life
to it the Bible says the power of death and life is in the tongue and I am NOT
going to speak it because I am NOT going to give life to the enemy's plan I broke
those assignments I woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning 3 o'clock in the morning
different times praying and of course what happens is
I'm exhausted during the day so the enemy couldn't get me during the day but
he got me at night and it affected my day and I had to really shore up and
step back and say ok what am I doing here you know then I'll wake up this
weekend I woke up to some especially nasty emails you know they don't like
what I wrote or they don't like that I posted something on charisma magazine or
they don't like this or they don't like that and so these religious spirits are
coming out of the Woodworks all of a sudden it's like they all had a
conference call and decided to attack me the next morning you know I mean
whatever I used as a stepping stone I use that you know
to allow the Lord to bring me up higher that persecution you know I'm used to it
you can't be speaking out for the Lord and not have people come against you as
a matter of fact if people aren't coming against you
Steve Hill used to say you know ask the pastor how's everything going and he
said oh it's going great you like what do you mean it's going great it is like
well everything's going wonderful it's like what are you preaching because if
you're preaching the truth it's going to make some doubles mad it's going to make
some people who have the devil whispering in their ear and who give ear
to the devil it's going to make them mad so if you're not making anybody mad I
have to wonder what you're preaching what you're prophesying what you're
praying okay so here's the deal the attacks came to it through email I
shook all that off it it made me rise up and in prayer that's all right that's
all good you know if the enemy wants to attack me
I'll rise up in prayer and it just doesn't do him any good in the end but
it you know he's got to keep trying that's his job but these nightmares left
me exhausted I mean you do know it's much more difficult to sort of war with
one hand and work with the other you know like they did me in mind when
they're building the wall you know they had a sword in one hand and a hammer and
the other it's kind of a lot harder to do that when you're exhausted you know
and then when you're waking up to all these email attacks you know it's just
here's the deal the devil wants your thoughts the devil wants your attention
the devil wants the words of your mouth because your thoughts in the words your
mouth and all influences your actions and then you're off you know sleeping
when you should be praying you're off in the front of the couch watching TV and
and you know filling yourself up with ice cream when you should be at church
or whatever you're in other words you're not doing what you're supposed to do
you're not doing what God would have you to do you're giving in to it you're
giving in to it because you took the thought you spoke the words you're
taking the actions but I'll tell you what I spent hours and hours and hours
this weekend after what happened to me the last couple of weeks in prayer and
in worship seeking revelation on how I could better gird up my loins I mean I
got blindsided it happens to the best of us so you know maybe it just happened to
you there's no shame in that you know just means that you know what
something somewhere and it's a learning experience none of us are perfect and
anyone who says they're perfect and they never you know get attacked and they
never you know gets blindsided or they never you know the enemy never sort of
gives them a gives them a little nudge they're not being honest with you
because none of us are perfect and the enemy will wait until we're tired or
we're distracted or we're overworked or stressed out or whatever he'll use our
family members against us so use our friends our pastor who use people
against us to gossip behind our back or you know to stab a knife in our back I
mean anybody that says that they're they walk in a hundred percent you know I
don't say victory because we do walk in under percent victory but anybody who
says they never experienced any sort of an attack from the enemy again I'd have
to say what do you preaching what are you doing alright but here's the deal
always remember this although the enemy I just said uses
people against us family members bosses co-workers pastors whoever we're not
wrestling against flesh and blood we're not wrestling against flesh and blood
yet we do need to put on our whole armor of God and engage in battle passivity
isn't going to deliver you from Jezebel's which crafts I want to read
the scripture to you second Corinthians 10:3 and six for though we walk in the
flesh we do not war according to the flesh for the weapons of our warfare are
not carnal but mighty and God for the pulling down of strongholds casting down
imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of
God and bringing every thought into captivity every thought into captivity
to the obedience of Christ and being ready to punish all disobedience when
your obedience is fulfilled so when it comes to witchcraft we have to withstand
it the amplified bible says be firm in first Peter five and eight be firm in
faith against his onset rooted established strong immovable and
determined it's easy enough to give in to witchcraft it's easy enough you still
lay down and go to sleep it's easy enough to sit in front of the TV with a
tub of ice cream or a pint or a quart or however much you can fit in your belly
at one time okay it's easy enough to do that especially if you know don't know
what's attacking you you don't know what it is you don't even know real
you're under attack you just think I'm having a bad day well yeah you're having
a bad day best because you're under attack hello you know and I get it I
mean I've gotta okay revelation I'm under attack I get it alright so again
when you feel like giving up when you're just exhausted for no reason when you're
when you're when you have strong confusion hitting your mind imaginations
that just won't quit you know when you're fighting this that
intense battle in your mind when infirmity start manifesting and you know
the doctor can't find anything wrong with you it could be possible that it's
witchcraft you've got to resist it at its onset the
longer you wait to resist that attack that's coming against you the longer it
seemed to take the fight through it it's like the enemy is building a wall and
then the longer you wait to start babbling against it the thicker the wall
gets okay now you know you can bam instantly sometimes if you have the
revelation of who you are in Christ you can break through that in an instant but
if you don't if you're struggling even with the revelation of the name of Jesus
and the blood of Jesus you know you're chipping away the thing go get some
reinforcements go get some people to help you break down that wall go get
some help all right there's no shame in asking for help resist avetis onset cast
adult James 4:7 says submit yourself to God resist the devil standing firm
against him and he'll flee from you so submit yourself to the lordship of Jesus
exalt his name exalt Jesus thank him for his blood rejoice in the Lord praise and
worship carries the breakthrough they mean that that's that praise and worship
will change the spiritual climbing in your home when I'm not home I like to
leave you know I hop in Kansas City or some other kind of worship music playing
in my home just keep the atmosphere when I walk in it's so nice you know because
there's that worship music playing it's wonderful so we should always praise and
worship in there's such power in that there's such that that is a form of
spiritual warfare in itself you know and if worship doesn't break the witchcraft
take authority over it in the name of all in the name that's above all names
me do that anyway witchcraft asked about the name of Jesus
be sure that that you don't have any common ground with the enemy you'll hear
me say this a lot make sure that you're not you know having some form of
rebellion and if you do whatever it is repent repent go in repenting even if
you don't know that you've done anything gens are you've done
thing repent none of us are perfect we all miss it every day in small ways sins
of omission maybe small things little word an idle word you know Jesus said
we're going to be held accountable for every idle word we say I mean it's not
even a gossip board but just an idle word I mean so go in repenting and
remember that you're more than a conqueror in Christ no weapon formed
against you can prosper unless you let it you know not even witchcraft
so our job listen your job is to be spiritually discerning enough to be
aware to be now you've got the knowledge I've given you the knowledge you've got
to get the revelation and the understanding pray for the discernment
to catch the devil at his onset resist him rebuke him and praise God for the
victory because you got it you're victorious you're victorious in Christ
you are witchcraft is no match for you none of the demons in Hell or any match
for you in Christ so I want to pray for you before we go I've got to get out of
here but I appreciate you watching my channel I ask you to just subscribe to

understanding wisdom and knowledge discernment in the name of Jesus and I
break every assignment off their lives right now I break that witchcraft off of
them right now in the name of Jesus we take authority over that witchcraft I
break your powers double you have no right to come against this blood-bought
