My daughter and I went into NYC to see the popular Broadway show, “Wicked” with my mother-in-law. It was a holiday gift from my MIL to my daughter. This show has been on for many years and yet it’s still very popular and expensive too. 

The first part of the program was funny and entertaining for me. However, it was in the second part of the show that it got very uncomfortable. I felt so uneasy and without peace. I looked away a lot. If I was alone I would’ve left the show not caring about the money wasted. That’s how uneasy and disturbed I felt. The content of the show wasn’t inappropriate. Looking back I think it was the enchantment of spells the performer sang out loud that disturbed me the most. I’m sure she was making the words up but for whatever reason her mysterious words really bothered my spirit. I really wanted to grab my family members and leave the show but I really couldn’t. My MIL and daughter would not have understood me. (They are not believers of Jesus Christ…yet.) I was so relieved when the show ended. 

I went to bed exhausted from a full day in NYC. It’s been a long while since I’ve woken up in the middle of the night from a horrible nightmare. I was awake and I felt a great evil presence around me. (My husband was still deep asleep.) Before fear gripped my heart, I spoke these words with authority from within, “In the name of Jesus, get outta here!” (Yes I said it just like this). I repeated this over and over again. There was one point when my hair was pulled. That really creeped me out. Yet I had no fear. Instead I keep on speaking in authority the words above. Suddenly there was peace and I no longer felt evil near me. Then I prayed for my family members and somehow dozed back to sleep in no time. Wow. Praise the Lord!

The next morning in my quiet time I was so excited. I was telling Jesus all that happened and how amazed that I went back to sleep! You see, I’ve had these incidents before. And in the past I would’ve stay frozen and wide awake all night terrified. I used to be too terrified to move from bed and would remain in my fetal position all night even if I had to pee badly until dawn. Fortunately the past four years if something like that occurred, I’ve mustered up the courage to get out of bed and come downstairs to read God’s word and pray desperately with trembling. When I recommitted my life back to the Lord over 4 years ago, the enemy attacked my slumber frequently. I had no one to talk to about these incidents except the Lord. I wasn’t sure if my church friends could handle these reports. No worries, Jesus always kept me safe and secure. Looking back those incidents were super scary but it forced me to stay very, very close to Jesus. It was probably necessary since I had a wandering heart. 

The Holy Spirit brought this message from Jesus to my memory: 
Luke 10:17-20 (AMP)

17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” 18 He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like [a flash of] lightning. 19 Listen carefully: I have given you authority [that you now possess] to tread on serpents and scorpions, and [the ability to exercise authority] over all the power of the enemy (Satan); and nothing will [in any way] harm you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.” 🙂

I pray that you’ll never experience such demonic supernatural encounters. But if you do, follow these steps that I’ve used successfully: 

– Get out of bed.

– Read out loud the word of God that brings you comfort and peace. (You should gather them before the attacks.)

– Pray and keep praying.

– Pray in tongues if you have that gift.

– Take authority in the name of Jesus and command the evil spirits to leave. 

– Ask a trusted believing friend to pray for you and your family. 

I’ll be praying for you. Please pray for me too. Thank you! God bless you! – With love from the heart. 

P.S. If you want to go into NYC for fun exciting event, I highly recommend visiting Hillsong or Times Square churches in NYC. I’ve visited both and they are spirit-filled and action-packed! Then give to them what you’ve spent on a Broadway ticket. 😉 I really hope you get a chance to visit and be so blessed like I was.
