TERRITORIAL SPIRIT

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. - Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)

About that time, my husband and I arrived at my friend's clinic in Sta Rita, Guiginto. I remember year 2010 and we were living with my family in Bulacan (Philippines). We were having an enjoyable talking with my friend and all of a sudden her little girl went in and out of fear. "There are just so many of us feeling unexplained, at night it seems like someone is walking." I couldn't stand the heat anymore, so I shared the word of God and welcomed them to the Lord crying because of the fear she was feeling her fur stood up as if she were feeling the demonic spirits struggling to leave their traditional home. We also spent a long time in prayer until it was peaceful and lighted. After that, the surroundings were completely unique, the warm feeling disappeared, and the uneasy surroundings vanished. By this time light feelings and peace of mind are already present.

2018, August 10, Malolos Bulacan (Philippines), we were looking for possible church of Abounding Faith Ministries International, and we found an ancestral house in Omboy, San Agustin, Malolos, without any idea, this house is feared by other people because they consider it a Haunted House as it shows a white lady. It has also been vacant for a long time. So, it's always dark. When we first entered the area we felt the evil spirit, especially in the basement and dirty kitchen at the back of the house. Despite this, we still decided to take the place with Pastora Winnie's approval as it is close to town. In other words, we cleaned up and beautified the place and above all we dedicated it to God. We hold hands, Zeth, Apple and Klets as we prayed together and drove out the evil spirits who lived in the area. Whenever you cast out a demon, you will really feel the creepiness of the body, and really feel the evil spirit that is really there. But after praying it became clearer and light feeling. Since its acquisition, the AFMI church has been a happy and peaceful place. Indeed, a child of God has such power that he can cast out demons. It came to the point that the space for the group was already tight, especially for special activities, so we moved to a bigger area. The Cooperative building in Longos at the located at 3rd floor, it has been around for 4 years. It is also one of the most feared places, and many say that someone sings even if there is no one there. So people avoid it especially at night. But for us, it is a challenge for our faith. If you only see the building before we clean it is filthy, messy, and very dark. With the help of group George, Pastora Ruth, Sally, Jeff, Connie, Luz, Apple, Brother Nestor, Russel and Pastor Klets we are able to clean it up, live it up and be one of our favorites as it is in the work of God. Thanks to the authority given to believers, we must know what we receive from God and apply it properly to our living neighbors. Praise the Lord.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

- 2 Corinthians 3:17 (NIV)

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and Self-discipline. -2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)
