Spirit Of Slumber
I was in a YouTube live prayer session, and they were talking about a particular topic that related to me. The man of God was preaching about bloodline curses and administering deliverance. Ironically, in one of his previous lessons, he taught about the spirit of slumber. I think it's an experience we all encounter. When you want to pray all of a sudden, you're sleepy. Or something suddenly comes up, and you just can't pray anymore. Well, I had the amplified version of this experience. I was sitting in my living room, watching the video on my laptop, and suddenly, a strong wave of fatigue covered me. My eyes were so heavy, I fought and fought, but nothing could stop what was about to happen. I don't remember when my heavy eyes closed, but I was knocked out. It felt like I had been pushed too.
Suddenly I gained consciousness in my mind, all I could see in my mind was pitch darkness and I wondered where I was. Then I realized, "Oh yeah, I was praying!" I was not surprised by this; this has happened to me before. Just not to this degree. In my consciousness, I giggled a little bit and laughed at the fact that I had fallen asleep. Over my building, I could see outside for some reason, I believe the Lord wanted me to know what was holding me down. I saw a huge figure in the sky, and it was sitting with its legs folded, it was just suspended in the sky, hovering, and I knew it was responsible for my captivity. I had no fear and I wondered why I could see this. Not only was I held down with sleep, but my body felt pressure, I was being pushed down. Even if I wanted to get up, I couldn't. That figure just sat in the air over the building. It was diabolically huge, it was unimaginable. I could hear the video still playing and I followed the prayers in my mind. I just couldn't get up or open my eyes.
The pressure was so intense, and I could feel my head being pressed down into the arm of the couch. There was no breaking free from this, so I stayed in my mind and listened more and more to the prayer. I spoke to myself the whole time to make sure I was still conscious. Then suddenly the prayer video came to an end and as soon as they said Amen, my body lifted itself up, my eyes popped open, and I became alive. Like I wasn't just bound and hit with a slumber that felt like a coma. I was in so much shock, I was only released when the prayers were over. I had no words, and the shadow figure that I had seen above my building was no more. After sitting in disbelief, I decided to replay the video, no demon was going to keep me from gaining my freedom. The spirit of slumber is real, you really have to fight against it because they don't want you to break free.
Matthew 13:24-25 Jesus told them another parable: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.
