Monitoring Spirits
Sisters, let's explore Monitoring Spirits. We'll discuss what it means, identify signs of it's presence, and share ways for protecting against them.
🙋🏽♀️Welcome, my Beautiful Black and Brown Sisters!
Sisters, let’s explore the journey of being surrounded by individuals with monitoring spirits. A person with a monitoring spirit may be affected by negative or malicious spiritual forces that seek to control, manipulate, or destroy your life.
This could manifest as:
- Disruption of Peace: These individuals can instill feelings of unrest or anxiety in your life. They display negative behavior when things are going great for you and try to make you feel guilty for finding peace when they cannot.
- Undermining Your Success: They may actively work against your goals or aspirations, whether through gossip, sabotage, or discouragement.
-Emotional Manipulation: Such individuals often invoke feelings of doubt, fear, or confusion, making it difficult to trust your own judgment.
Signs of Someone with a Monitoring Spirit
Sisters, identifying someone with a monitoring spirit can be challenging, but there are some signs you might notice:
1. Very Nosy with Intense Curiosity: They ask overly open-ended and probing questions about your personal life, goals, and relationships.
2. Inconsistent Behavior: Their demeanor may shift dramatically, showing support one moment and jealousy or hostility the next.
3. Negative Energy: You might feel drained or uneasy after interacting with them, as if they are stealing your energy or joy. They are blood suckers and energy drainers.
4. Gossiping: They may spread rumors or speak negatively about you to others to shape and control a narrative surrounding you, indicating a desire to undermine your reputation.
5. Overstepping Boundaries: They don’t acknowledge your boundaries and may invade your personal space or privacy, physically or emotionally.
How to Stay Away From Monitoring Spirits
Sisters, I have some tips below on how to keep Monitoring Spirits at a distance:
1. Prayer and Spiritual Discernment: Engage in regular prayer, asking for wisdom and discernment to identify harmful influences in your life. Seek guidance from trusted spiritual leaders or mentors.
2. Set Boundaries: Clearly define your personal boundaries with individuals who show signs of monitoring spirits. Be firm in your limits to protect your emotional and spiritual well-being.
3. Surround Yourself with Positive Influences: Foster relationships with individuals who uplift you and share your values. A supportive community can help counteract negative influences.
4. Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off about a person, trust that intuition. It’s often a sign that you need to reevaluate the relationship.
5. Seek Counsel and Fasting: If you think you are experiencing a spiritual attack, consider fasting and seeking guidance from your Ministry for prayer support.
6. Educate Yourself: Learn more about characteristics and tactics used by monitoring spirits, which can empower you to recognize and resist them effectively.
Sisters, monitoring spirits can significantly impact your life in ways you may have never considered. Not everyone around you has your best interests at heart. Some people are present to take stock and await your downfall. Instead of being genuine and planting positive seeds, they undermine you by casting verbal curses on your life and gossiping about you to others. If you are not attentive to these kinds of spirits, it can lead you into self-doubt, anxiety, depression, lack of faith, and co-dependency. Recognizing the signs, putting on your spiritual armor. Stay vigilant and grounded in your boundaries, and pay attention to the signs being shown to you.
Scriptures to Meditate on:
Ephesians 6:12
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
1 Peter 5:8
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."
2 Corinthians 11:14
"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
Psalm 91:11-12
"For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."
James 4:7
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
1 John 4:1
"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."
Prayer:
Our Father God in Heaven, Deliver me from any curses and spells, and from monitoring spirits that have been sent against me and my family. Remove those spirits from my life and cleanse my thoughts of delusions. Open my spiritual eyes to see people's true intentions, and strengthen me to accept what you reveal. I pray for a hedge of protection over me and my family. I ask that you keep your angels surrounding me in guidance. Heal me from self-doubt and a lack of faith in your word. Increase my zeal and faith each day. I surrender everything to you, Lord.
In Jesus Name, Amen!
