THE NIGHT THEY CAST A SPELL ON ME AND STOLE MY PROPERTIES
Today, I am starting a series to show you how to pray your way out of any kind of attack. This is not a theory or something I read in a book. I will be sharing my own experience with you, because sometimes the most powerful teaching does not come from pulpit language, but from lived encounters.
I want you to understand something very important from the beginning. The devil attacks all of us.
No believer is exempt from spiritual confrontation. But the truth that must anchor your heart is this: the devil is not designed to win. He can harass, disturb, and shout, but he cannot have the final say.
Whether the attack shows up as human opposition, witchcraft manipulation, marital crisis, repeated bad dreams, depression, sickness, unexplained losses, or financial pressure, the source is the same. And the end is also the same. The devil will not win.
The Bible makes this very clear in 1 Corinthians 10:13: “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”
This scripture is not trying to comfort you emotionally. It is stating a spiritual law. Every battle that reaches your life has already been measured by God. That means if you are facing it, then through God, you have the capacity to overcome it. Not because you are strong, but because God is faithful.
So if you are experiencing an attack right now, it means you will defeat it. It will not swallow you. It will not end in shame. It will end in testimony.
Say this with me now:
“Everything going on in my life now will end in my testimony, in Jesus name.”
This series is simply me opening my life to you. How I grew out of attacks. How I prayed through seasons that nearly broke me. How I learned, sometimes painfully, that spiritual ignorance is dangerous, but spiritual knowledge is deliverance.
I pray you don’t just read this. I pray you take the lessons to heart and begin winning your battles one by one this year.
And remember, I have a free book for you this week. Make sure you get it, because knowledge is part of your defense.

WHEN THEY CAST A SPELL ON ME AND STOLE MY PROPERTIES
This happened years ago, when I did not have experience. I did not have training. I did not understand spiritual warfare. But what happened to me was real, and it shaped my understanding of spiritual attacks forever.
It was not just painful. It was spiritual. And it taught me one unforgettable lesson: the power of demonic spells is real, but the power of God is greater.
At that time, I was a hairstylist. Like many young men trying to survive, I worked hard and managed what I had. Because of convenience and sometimes a lack of options, I used to sleep inside my shop. By day, it was my workplace. By night, it became my bedroom.
But even before the night everything was stolen, I had already been experiencing strange spiritual signs. I would eat in the dream and wake up sick. I would be chased in the dream and wake up sweating. I would wake up heavy, confused, drained, and frustrated, without any physical explanation.
I didn’t know it then, but I was already under attack. I had no training. I had no understanding. I didn’t use my weapons. I was a believer, but I was spiritually exposed.
………………………………………..
THE NIGHT THE SPELL LANDED
One particular night changed everything. I had finished working late, tired like usual. I prayed a short prayer. Not a warfare prayer. Not a prayer of authority. Just a normal “God protect me” prayer. Then I slept.
In the middle of the night, thieves broke into the shop.
But here is what shocked me.
I did not hear anything.
I did not sense anything.
I did not even turn on the mat.
I slept deeply and unnaturally.
This was not normal sleep. It was not tiredness. It was not exhaustion. It was spiritual sedation. A demonic spell. A spiritual injection designed to shut down resistance.
The thieves stole everything. Clippers. Blow dryers. Combs. Scissors. Even small items that normally would have made noise if touched. And I did not wake up.
If someone had told me before that night that a human being could spiritually neutralize another person and render him powerless, I would not have believed it. But that night, I became proof.
When I woke up in the morning, the shop was empty.
At first, I tried to process it logically. Robbery happens. But something deep inside me knew this was not normal. Something held me down.
Later that day, neighbours confirmed what my spirit already suspected. The thieves in that area were known for using sleep charms so people would not wake up or fight back.
That was when it hit me hard. My battle was not just dreams. It was not imagination. It was manifesting physically.
The same forces feeding me in the dream were the same forces that sedated me physically. The same powers draining me spiritually were the same powers that entered my space and took advantage.
That night exposed something painful but necessary. I had been spiritually vulnerable for a long time, and the enemy was capitalizing on it.
………………………………………..
THE REALITY OF SPELLS AND SPIRITUAL ATTACKS
Many Christians struggle with this truth because they want everything to be symbolic. But the Bible is very clear about spiritual manipulation.
In Galatians 3:1, Paul said, “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you…?”
Paul was not speaking figuratively. He was talking about real spiritual interference. If bewitchment were not real, the Holy Spirit would not have addressed it directly.
Acts 8:9–11 tells us about Simon the sorcerer, a man who used sorcery and bewitched people for a long time.
The Bible says people gave heed to him because they were under influence.
This tells us something uncomfortable but true…
People can be spiritually manipulated without knowing it. Their sleep can be attacked. Their decisions can be influenced. Their finances can be drained. Their emotions can be tampered with.
That was my reality. My dreams were polluted. My emotions were unstable. My finances were leaking. And eventually, the attack became physical.
The attack did not start the night of the robbery. That night only revealed how deep it had already gone.
………………………………………..
SO HOW DID MY DELIVERANCE COME?
Deliverance does not always come suddenly. Sometimes it comes gradually, through growth, knowledge, and training. God often delivers us by teaching our hands to war.
I did not become strong the next day. I grew. I learned. I fought. And slowly, I escaped.
………………………………………..
1. I FILLED MYSELF WITH THE WORD OF GOD
Let me say this clearly. The Word of God is not for religious display. It is for survival.
I began to read the Word of God more. At first, I did not understand everything I read. But I kept reading.
Psalm 119:130 says the entrance of the word brings light. Not memorization. Not quoting. Entrance.
As the Word entered my spirit, something began to change quietly. Fear reduced. Confusion cleared. My spiritual senses sharpened. Though the attacks did not stop immediately, my resistance increased.
Darkness cannot survive where light keeps entering every day.
………………………………………..
2. DECLARING SCRIPTURES UNTIL IT LOOKED NORMAL
Reading scripture gave me light. Praying scripture gave me authority.
I would read a scripture passage and turn it into a declaration. I read the Psalms and paraphrased them, like I personalized them.
I prayed Isaiah 49:25, Isaiah 41:9-12, 54:15-17, etc.
I prayed Luke 10:18-19, Matthew 18:18-20, etc.
I prayed Philippians 2:10, Revelation 12:11, etc
At first, it felt repetitive. But soon, the scriptures stopped sounding like verses and started sounding like weapons.
I know every declaration shifted something. Demons fear scripture spoken with authority.
Now you know why the majority of my work involves teaching others to do more warfare and declare scriptures.
Well, gradually, the attacks weakened. The demonic access was reduced, and my confidence returned.
………………………………………..
3. I BEGAN PRAYING MORE IN TONGUES
This is where something started to shift like so fast, and I want to be very honest here, because this part matters more than you may realize.
I was already baptized in the Spirit and could pray in tongues. I was not ignorant of it. I had received it.
But I did not often pray in tongues. The Church I attended then believed in praying in tongues, but they didn’t teach that we could do so often. The language was that it was reserved for very holy ministers, and we only prayed in tongues when God moves in a powerful way.
So, in my mind then, praying in tongues was something you did only when you were deeply moved, emotionally stirred, or caught up in a powerful moment of worship. I thought tongues were reserved for special moments, not for daily spiritual discipline.
So most of the time, I prayed with my understanding. I spoke English prayers. I reasoned with God. I explained things. I cried sometimes and begged most of the time.
What I did not understand then was that tongues are not a reaction to pressure; they are a prevention against pressure. They are not just for moments when something is already wrong; they are for building strength before things go wrong.
Then I read a book and learned that I could actually pray in tongues often and build spiritual capacity. And everything changed.
As I began to pray in tongues more intentionally and more consistently, I noticed changes that I could not explain naturally. My dreams started changing. The eating in the dream reduced. The chases reduced. The strange heaviness I used to wake up with began to lift. I was still facing life, but I was no longer feeling spiritually weak or exposed. Something inside me was standing up.
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 14:2 that when a man speaks in an unknown tongue, he speaks mysteries to God.
That verse used to sound abstract to me, until I began to experience it. Those mysteries are not empty sounds. They are spiritual transactions.
One of the mysteries tongues handle is deliverance. Another is strengthening. Another is dismantling things you do not have language for.
There are battles you cannot explain properly in English because you do not even understand them fully.
There are attacks you feel but cannot describe.
There are covenants working in the background that you did not sign consciously.
Praying in tongues bypasses your ignorance and goes straight to the root. It allows the Spirit of God to pray through you with precision.
When you pray in tongues, you are not limited by what you know. You are not restricted by what you can articulate. You are not blocked by what you cannot remember.
Tongues fight what you cannot name. They confront what you cannot see. They scatter evil things you do not yet understand.
At first, I did not pray long. Sometimes it was twenty minutes. Sometimes thirty. Sometimes, an hour when strength came. I did not force myself emotionally. I just stayed there, praying quietly, steadily, letting the Spirit take over. And little by little, something changed.
I did not jump out of bondage in one day. I rose out of it gradually. My spiritual confidence returned. My fear reduced. The enemy’s access weakened.
This is why I tell people now, do not wait until something moves you emotionally before you pray in tongues. Pray in tongues when nothing is happening. Pray in tongues when you feel fine. Pray in tongues when you do not even know what to pray about. You are building something inside yourself that will speak when the need arises.
Praying in tongues is not noise. It is construction. It is reinforcement. It is how God strengthens you quietly so that when attacks come, you are not scrambling for strength. You already have it.
Looking back, I realized I had the weapon but was not using it consistently. And once I started using it, the enemy lost ground. Not because I became louder, but because I became stronger inside.
I charge you today to pray more in tongues. Over time, you will notice that things that used to overpower you no longer have the same effect. You may still face battles, but you will no longer face them empty-handed.
………………………………………..
TO BE CONTINUED
This is only the beginning.
In the next part, I will show you how negative relationships keep attacks alive, how recurring dreams persist, and how to rebuild spiritual walls around your life.
For now, hold this truth firmly.
If darkness touched your life, light can restore it.
If the enemy entered your space, God will fight for you and lift you out.
Your story will end in testimony.
