Testimony
There was a young man named Michael who had recently moved into a new apartment for his job. At first, everything seemed normal, but soon he began to experience unusual fear at night, nightmares, and a sense of heaviness whenever he was at home. Objects would mysteriously move, doors would creak, and he constantly felt like he wasn’t alone. Michael tried ignoring it, thinking it was stress or imagination, but the anxiety grew worse each day.
One Sunday at church, he heard a message about divine protection and the power of scripture-based prayers. Inspired, he began praying a prayer of protection from evil every morning and night, citing verses like Psalm 91:1–2 and Isaiah 54:17. He also prayed over his apartment, declaring that no weapon of the enemy would prosper and that God’s angels would encamp around him.
Within a week, the atmosphere changed. The fear lifted, the nightmares stopped, and Michael felt a sense of peace and safety in his home that he hadn’t experienced before. He realized that consistent, scripture-based prayer was not just a routine—it was a powerful weapon that created a spiritual shield over his life.
This testimony shows why these prayers matter: God’s protection is real, His Word is powerful, and through prayer, we can live securely, free from fear, oppression, and evil influences.
