Detecting Whose Who?


As soon as I realize that my struggles are not against people, but against people without bodies, called ” wicked spirits,” Identified as the Prince of Darkness who loves to keep our spirit’s irritated, upset, and unhappy.  I stopped taking personal attacks in my life made directly against me as serious.

I really don’t care to rehash my baggage check incidents but as usual it was an uplifting spiritual lesson for me. A Wow God moment! It was seven o’ clock. I was flying out of Los Angeles airport going to Sacramento no matter what I just wanted to get home rain, sleet, or hail. My flight had been delayed way to many times.

I am a morning person but my spirit loves the peace and quiet in the morning. As I got to the baggage check lined I observed the baggage check attendants behaviors towards all the customers a bit disturbing and a little intimidating . I notice one man being escorted out of the line into a tiny room for having something in his suitcase. When it was my turn to go through the metal detector went off.  I made a comment and the two guards  immediately questioned me.

” What did you just say in a police voice that shocks my quiet peaceful morning attitude out of me, says the two guards at the exact same time.”  My response is it’s-it must be my jewelery I got on that’s setting the metal detectors off. I felt violated at this point for talking it was nerve wrecking.

I went through the metal detectors the second time I was so upset I had to say a couple of prayers to calm my nerves that’s when I heard my holy spirit in me speak these exact words.

Your struggles are not really against the people who just offended you,  but against people without bodies, called ” wicked spirits,” Identified as the Prince of Darkness who loves to keep your spirit irritated and unhappy.  After I heard this revelation I immediately stopped taking this personal attack made directly against me so serious.

Now I realize sometimes I no longer have to open my mouth and waste my words on a person who chooses to act ignorantly towards me in my public, or in my private life. I can choose to walk away and talk to God about it instead. I find that nonverbal communication can be just as strong as venting ones verbal frustration.

Thank you Father for giving me the gift of your holy spirit without it I know I’m lost.

  1. Thank you. We all need constant reminder of this. Your right it’s all about letting go of resentment, and being able to forgive others who step on our toes.
