After giving birth to my second child, I experienced intense spiritual warfare and nightmares every night.
Vivid, terrifying encounters would keep me awake, leaving me exhausted, fearful, and paranoid. A heavy, oppressive darkness would fill my room on some nights. I would see a dark shadowy figure standing in the corner, just watching me. It didn’t speak. I would also feel a terrifying sensation of being pulled from my bedside like an invisible hand was dragging me.
I felt incredibly alone, anxious, and completely clueless about what to do. There was so much strife and tension at home. I had been a Christian for 23 years. I prayed but my prayers felt weak. I went to see a doctor and was diagnosed with postpartum depression.
In my desperation, a dear friend saw my struggle and introduced me to her mentor from church. At first, I didn’t know what to expect. But when this mentor sat down with me, she didn’t just offer me a “quick prayer” to make it stop. Instead, she opened my eyes to a profound spiritual truth.
She explained that God was not punishing me, nor had He abandoned me.
In fact, He was doing something I never expected. He was opening my spiritual eyes to see the spirit realm more clearly. She told me that these nighttime disturbances weren’t just random attacks. They were, in a way, a form of prophetic vision. God was allowing me to see the behind-the-scenes warfare so that I would know exactly what to pray against. Instead of being a helpless victim, I was being given intelligence from Heaven to fight back strategically. I thought, “God trusted me enough to show me what was really going on in the spirit!”
This realisation did not make the attacks vanish overnight. It was not an easy journey. There were many nights where I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t always feel like praying, I didn’t always feel strong.
I felt anxious and fearful of the future, but I forced myself to seek the Holy Spirit. I was determined to obey God.
Some nights, the darkness felt overwhelming. I especially remember two nights. One night, the evil force pretended to be my husband and stroked my hair while I was sleeping. Another night, the evil spirit tried to violently slam the door open and break into my bedroom. But praise God! In that moment, the Holy Spirit reminded me that I had the access to the most powerful name. The name of Jesus!
I commanded it to leave in Jesus’ name. The change was instantaneous. I heard a whimpering sound, it was the sound of a defeated enemy. I watched as it slowly withdrew, shrinking away from the name of Jesus! The evil spirit was not able to enter at all. It was a turning point and I realised I wasn’t fighting this battle with my own strength. This was when I truly understood what it meant to have authority as a believer.
That moment, I realised the power that was made available to me through Christ.
I kept pressing in, kept asking the Holy Spirit to show me and give me the specific words and scriptures that I needed to declare over my life and my home. I learned that my warfare was won not in my own strength, but in obedience and my surrender to the Holy Spirit.
Whenever I feel spiritual tension settling over my home, I know I have to invite God’s peace back into the space. I usually anoint every room with oil and claim the protection and covering of the blood of Jesus over my home and family, trusting that His blood sacrifice is a strong shield against any darkness, strife and unrest.
Slowly but surely, something miraculous began to happen. I stopped viewing the attacks as just “bad things happening to me.” Instead, I started asking God, ‘What are You trying to tell me through this?’ I began to decode the warfare. The enemy meant it for evil, but God meant it as a warning and a correction.
I began to turn those terrifying attacks into divine messages from God. What was once a source of dread became a source of revelation for me.
The Holy Spirit showed me that all these attacks aren’t meant to scare me, and they don’t mean that I am weak. I felt encouraged knowing that the Holy Spirit is alerting and teaching me how to fight and walk in my authority as a believer in Christ. God placed the right people around me to help me.
He also gives me incredible dreams filled with His promises. I see vivid rainbows representing His faithfulness, waterfalls streaming with holy fire and once dreamt of a mighty revival breaking out across the church. There are times I feel a strong prompting in my spirit to pray for certain people out of nowhere. I know that God uses my prayers to fight battles for people that I might not even see.
Today, I walk in a peace that I never thought possible. The nights are no longer my enemy.
Instead, they are my quiet time with the Lord. Instead of fear, I have understanding. Instead of confusion, I have clarity about my spiritual assignments and my identity in Christ. I don’t have all the answers, but I have the One who does. My eyes are still open to the spirit realm, but now I look with the mind of Christ and not the fear of a victim.
