GRACE OF DISCERNMENT AND GUIDANCE

This experience took place one evening after everyone in my family had gone to bed. It was probably in the mid to late 1970's as I remember because it was early on in my walk with the Lord. I had settled in the kitchen to read my bible when I remembered that I had to put the clothes in the dryer. Our house was built on top of garages so we had to go outside, then down the stairs in order to enter the garage. I was stopped at the door by the Holy Spirit and He spoke to me with an urgency in His voice. He said to plead the Blood of Jesus and to also cover myself with the Blood of the Lord. It was an urgent word and I did as I was told immediately even though it puzzled me. Then I proceeded down the stairs and entered the door of the garage. As soon as I entered, there before me were several evil spirits with their flaming fiery eyes angrily ready to attack me. Their eyes were piercing and filled with hatred towards me. Then they all fiercely threw their flaming darts at me but every one of the darts fell to the ground because I was shielded with an invisible shield of the faith of the Son of God! This was startling, yet invigorating to see the battle won because of the Blood of the Lord!!!

Ephesians 6:11--11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 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. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Ps. 91:4--He shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings shall you trust: his truth shall be your shield and buckler.
