"The wicked are stringing their bows and setting their arrows in the bowstrings.
They shoot from the shadows at those who do right.
" Psalm 11:2 "God is well known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.
Jerusalem is where he lives; Mount Zion is his home.
There he breaks the arrows of the enemy, the shields and swords and weapons of his foes".
Psalm 76:1-3.
A young man was once sleeping and had a dream.
In that dream, he saw people pursuing him and as he was about escaping, they shot him with a gun.
When he eventually woke up, he couldn't believe what he saw.
He was almost paralyzed.
It was difficult for him to walk again.
The family began to carry him from one hospital to the other.
Later, to different prayer houses.
It was this problem that made me to know him too.
Thank God he survived it.
Another young, very beautiful and kind woman also had an attack in the dream and when she woke up, she was afflicted with breast cancer, and unfortunately she didn't survive it.
It was when she died that the sister- in-law was telling me what killed her.
There was also this young man, kind and well-to-do.
His uncle priced a piece of land and later could not afford to pay for it.
This man unadvisedly went and bought the same land.
Now, from the day he paid for that land until he died he didn't know peace.
His legs were decaying and stinking until he gave up.
He didn't survive it.
One of my relations told me his own ugly experience recently.
One of his workers who was pregnant came out one morning to see that her clothes were cut off from the edges.
She didn't take that serious, and unfortunately she paid dearly for it.
She died while giving birth to that particular baby.
We can go on and on.
But what is common with all these victims of wickedness - evil arrows! Satanic attacks were shot into their lives, and unfortunately no pre-emptive, prompt or adequate measure was taken to prevent or at least, expel them.
Let me explain what I mean by these.
There is a level you will operate in God, and it will be very difficult, if not impossible for any arrow of the enemy to harm you.
Also, if there is any way these evil bullets managed to find their ways into one's life, every effort should be made to expel them at that early stage; when it has not caused much havoc.
In fact, the best stage to tackle them is usually at the dream (or revelation) level.
That is when you first dreamt or noticed any unusual negative experience or feeling.
This is surely the most effective time to destabilize whatever the enemy is planning against you.
Don't take any dream or revelation for granted.
We will come to that later.
Now, what are evil arrows? Evil arrows are wicked, harmful demonic attacks aimed at a particular person or people to achieve a definite destructive purpose.
Most times, they are launched spiritually, but the destructive effects will always be seen in the physical.
They have been used not just to kill, but in some cases, to cause insanity, barrenness, broken marriages, loss of jobs, terrible (often incurable) sicknesses, and other manipulations.
Haven't you heard people saying that they didn't know why they left their jobs, marriages, families, etc.
That they just had that very strong irresistible, sudden urge to leave, so they left.
Left into tears and sorrow.
These are the effects of evil arrows.
I have seen cases where evil arrows caused serious havoc in people's lives.
I hope you know that most cases of barrenness can be traced to these evil shots.
I say most because I know that a lot are also medical cases.
But I have also seen some that are purely spiritually or how do you explain a situation where a woman will always have miscarriage after hearing a particular footstep on top of her roof during pregnancy? How would you explain the situation where people will always have misfortune, disappointment, sicknesses, etc, after attacks in the dream? Some will come as gun shots, stones, dogs pursing them or even having sexual intercourse in the dream.
These are all programmed evil arrows to monitor and destroy the progress of the victims.
There are people who could be programmed into madness, accidents, crashes, etc.
I know even Christians who have fallen victim of such.
This is why people like us will keep on talking about high-powered prayers and absolute holiness.
Yes, you can be in the church and yet fall victim of evil arrows.
I know a woman who died in an auto accident some years ago through this.
I know her to be a Christian, so when I was made to know that her death was man-made (in a revelation), I was really confused.
Can a Christian be killed that way? I know people whose marriages were attacked.
I know families who were blocked from having children, until the power of God intervened.
People have been rendered useless in life through this wicked means.
This is why we must take this message very seriously.
The portion of the bible where we read in Psalm 11:2 says that the wicked are stringing their bows and setting their arrows in the bowstrings to shoot.
Look at the verbs used in that sentence "stringing, setting," they are continues.
That means the wicked is always aiming their arrows to shoot.
They are always in the act.
Whether you know it or not.
Most times you won't even know, unless God, by His grace, decides to show you.
Secondly, they do it in darkness (shadows).
In secrets.
You will not see them doing it, but you'll see the effects.
And this is why it is very very dangerous.
How do you fight an unseen enemy? We will continue next week.
Start now to pray that all the evil arrows shot into your life and family be destroyed in Jesus' name!
