Be Still & Shut up

This was the toughest part of my healing and it will be yours too. Satan doesn’t want you right with God and will fight you the entire way.

The only way to get satan out of your life is to cast him back to hell. To get his goons off of you you’re gonna have to pray, and pray like you’ve never prayed before. When you pray you cannot have any doubts. Our entire walk with God is about faith. He rewards us for our faith. This year, 2020, God is going to do amazing things with His people that allow Him to work through them.

The process of killing your inner demons is harsh and takes perseverance. It was so hard for me to persevere but when I really learned how and pushed through I finally killed all of my flesh. Prayer was made pretty easy after a few weeks. This process taught me truly how to pray without ceasing. 1 Thes 5:17. I had to in order to make it through the day on many occasions. I had to reach out to God because I literally thought I was going insane. It was like I was bi-polar and had multiple personalities (I don’t) for a few weeks due to all those spirits (satan’s goons) hovering over me and whispering in my ear. All those voices you hear that do not line up with God (The Word) need to be bound from you. Breaking chains was an intense process but you will get through it. I was not raised in a way that I knew how to do this. It took so much research on my part and I believe that is why God allowed me to see the spirit world. Had I not seen the darkness I would not have learned how to beat it. I wouldn’t know how to recognize it and know I am not crazy. You’re gonna feel like you’re going crazy, especially if you have a lot of demons surrounding you trying to suck you into his darkness. Jesus is the light (John 8:12) and the closer you gravitate towards Him the less darkness of evil surrounds you. Getting rid of the darkness is NOT an easy task and many tears were shed because this process hurts. Demons were terrorizing me in my mind. I know people call this the battlefield, your mind, and it is but there is so much to it that I never fully understood.

I have learned what spirits are around me and I really didn’t like the gift of discerning the spirits at first but now I know exactly which evil force is working against me and how to get rid of it. Some spirits will only leave with prayer. Some spirits we must fast to get rid of but most of them you can bind (Matt 16:19).

There are about 70-80 spirits that the Bible speaks of and I am working diligently to accumulate a list. It’s so weird how there are different realms in our world and folks think there is mental illness. I know how that sounds especially if you’ve been diagnosed with a mental illness but that is not of God. God wants all His kids healthy and negative spirits are all around that we can pick up by being around others that have them. These spirits are people without skin and they look crazy but they make you dark in the spirit realm. I know all of this sounds insanely ridiculous…. oh, trust me I know, but the Bible backs me up. I laugh as I write this and want to just stop but someone is gonna need this. There was nothing out there for me when I went through this … nobody talks about it! I will!! It looks like I just got my teaching for this week’s Facebook Live. I would much rather talk about Jesus but that is obviously not why He sent me back. This world nobody speaks of is real and Satan has released so much in earth since the new year – Hebrew calendar started in September 2019, been thinking you were going nuts since then? This is why. I used to feel nuts and just writing about it is intense, so I understand. But we must get Christians out of the darkness and one with God. Learning to yield to the Holy Spirit is a process. It is one worth enduring though, I promise.

Discernment can be asked for and we all need this gift in this day and age. Satan is running rampant like never before and our spiritual senses, journey and life needs to be in tune with God. 1. Pray, shut up and listen. 2. Be still and know He is God- we really gotta be still to hear Him. Psalm 46:10. 3. Get in the Word of God. When you are in the Bible and learning about God you will experience Him differently. He will begin to send you to certain books and chapters of the Bible to talk to you. The Word is alive! I see something different each time He sends me to a new chapter of His Book no matter how many times I have read it. 4. Pray specifics so you can encounter God in a different way. When we pray very detail oriented prayers we can see God answering each one. We learn Him and what His Will is and how and what to pray. It really becomes fun! 5. Love! I cannot stress this enough and it seems easy but it’s not always. We must love others and we must love Him. Mark 12:30-31. Love is a gift and it is to be extended to everyone we come in contact with. This might be the hardest thing in the world to accomplish bc it’s so hard to love difficult people. It’s really hard to love those that treat you badly and just bc you love them doesn’t mean you keep them around. Sometimes we gotta get rid of folks for our own well being.

This has to be pretty important because I was woke up at 0425 to write this. God wants all of His kids to be happy and healthy. Good spiritual health begins the road to divine healings, divine intervention and it allows us to go to heaven!! This isn’t just about us but others that need to know God. If we don’t do our part people don’t hear about God and everyone deserves that chance. We all need the chance to know Him!!

Father, thank you for today. Thank you for opening our eyes and giving us another day to serve You and carry out Your will. Lord, we ask for the ability to discern the spirits. For knowledge and understanding of Your Word. Open our spiritual senses and let us know You in a different way. Guide us, protect us and put us in Your way. Teach us to yield to You, Father. Thank You Lord for the keys of authority – help us grab them and know how to use them. Unlock our minds, unlock our hearts, unlock our innermost self that needs to be revealed and healed. Wrap a hedge of protection around us, give us clarity in our realm and the supernatural realm. Any spirits not of you remove them from us. Your will be done on earth Lord and show us Your way. In Jesus name- amen.

If you get extra and don’t know why it is a spirit. Suicidal thoughts are not of God and that spirit must be bound from you. Hating yourself or your body is not from God. The spirit of negativity is around you! Lord, I bind any spirit that is not of You… Father get it off of us and loose it back to hell where it belongs. Thank you! Amen!!

Being obedient to God is of utmost importance. It isn’t just right now but for the rest of your life. Don’t be stupid and mess up your walk w God for any person.

God will use a nonbeliever if you don’t boss up and do what He says. Idk about you but I don’t want Him taking my anointing bc I failed to obey! One act of obedience is worth more than all the prayers you could send up for yourself. There are rewards for obedience.

Answered prayers is a reward. Who doesn’t want all of their prayers answered? I know I do and you should too. We can have everything we ask in His name IF we are obedient through faith. Long life with peace is another promise for obedience. I challenge you to start reading the Bible for 5 minutes a day. Sit in prayer with Him for 5 minutes while driving to work. Download an audio Bible and have it read to you on your way to the office. When you start the relationship He is more than faithful to start speaking to you.

How do you hear from God? He will just download info into you that you have no idea where it came from. There are some things I know that I have had to go research bc I have no idea where I got it – this was before I figured out it was God. He knows everything and definitely more than google. Can’t trust all of google anymore but you can always trust God! He speaks through His word! He tells me where to go for what He wants to talk about; when I listen. I’m still learning to be obedient but this year I will stay in His Will and His Way for me. That voice that you first hear when asking Him a question is His answer. You’re not always going to like it but to walk in His Will we must obey. You’re gonna need to be still and shut up to hear Him.

1 John 3:22 And whatever we ask we will receive from Him, bc we keep His commandments and do things that are pleasing to His sight.

May God keep you, bless you, protect you and hold you all of this year! If you don’t have anything good to say keep your mouth shut and obey Him. Treat folks as you want to be treated.

I am not going to write a long post today but instead pray for each of you. We all need prayer and we need to absolutely pray for ourselves. I used to think I was wasting prayers if I did pray for myself but God has shown me better than that. We need His touch, His guidance and His spirit on us.

Life can get hard and we must know that we have the same Spirit that lifted Jesus from the dead inside of us. We must see in His word that He wants to be near to us… He gave us Himself and gave us His spirit to live inside of us. Be His servant and allow Him to continually mold you.

Father, thank you for today. Thank you for allowing us to open our eyes today. Lord, 2019 was so hard on so many of us but we praise You for opening our eyes. We praise You for showing us who You are. We know as we walk into 2020 we need to remain in You for direction. Help us be obedient when we do not feel comfortable. Show us how to be one with you and allow us to manifest Your will on earth as it is in Heaven. Change our thinking as we approach a new decade and let us always be reachable to You. We promise to stay teachable as You breathe new life into us each day. Allow all of our joy to be found from You. Heal us from within, Father, and make us whole. Let us seek and find every small morsel of You in Your Word, our lives, our country and our friends. Increase our faith and Lord, we ask for you to show yourself to those that do not know You. Make 2020 the year we become your servants! Awaken us to You and Your perfect authority. Teach us to be like You. Give us clarity on things we do not understand and allow us to be at peace not always knowing the whys. We thank You for the blessings bestowed upon us and look forward to a new year in and with You. May our bills be paid on time, with extra, and may we all have enough food for our family’s. Increase our faith and our love for You, Father. I ask for all spirits not of You be bound on earth and loosed to hell where they all belong. Allow us to recognize the fallen, cast them off of us and our people, and remove them from our lives. Show us as we sin so we may know we are doing wrong. Let us not ever grow weary but trust in You. Help us be bold in and through You! Forgive us of our sins, Lord. We repent before you and we want to be separate from sin so we may remain close to You. Thank You for Your mercy, and grace. Your forgiveness and Your unending love. We sure do love you. Thank You. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You for another day of life. In Jesus name ~ Amen

Nothing good comes without a little pain. Stop focusing on the pain and give it to the #WoundedHealer allowing Him to shape, and mold you. He is the potter and we are His clay! Jeremiah 18… the clay will never leave His hands because without the potter the clay is nothing.

Happy New Year! Much love and many blessings as we approach the year of the mouth! Watch your words carefully and be intentional in everything.

I cannot stress how important this is in your walk with The Creator, the Most High God! Many people don’t know my story but they are about to. That is why He had me start this blog.

My name is Melissa Sheriff and seven years ago I died. I thought for sure I’d tell all of this many years ago but I had to wonder around in the wilderness making mistakes and learning the gifts He bestowed upon me. Do I like them all? Nope! Discerning the spirits is the worst!!! If you have this gift then you know what I am talking about. When I died the road I was on, a small 2 lane Hwy, opened up into another dimension. A realm invisible to us but one that is spoke of in the Bible. 2 Kings 6. We are all such stupid mortals we don’t pay close enough attention to His Word. I saw it… I saw it all and I looked in satans eyes. Take it from me you do not want to meet him. He is disgusting and I’ll never be able to describe the wretched smell that comes with him. His goons (the negative spirits) lurking around you are not near as horrific as he. The worst human thing I have ever smelled is death caused by cancer. I was a nurse before my brain injury and cancer has a distinct smell; you know it if you’ve smelled it. I can walk by someone and tell if they have the spirit of cancer. Walking around in our realm and seeing these things and smelling them is weird to say the least. Anyway, when I saw satan I tried to run over him with my car. I know now but in the heat of the moment.. what’s a girl to do? Instead I hit a tree. I uprooted that tree and that crash was pretty fatal. I broke my skull, my neck, my ribs, my jaw, my arm, shoulder and a few other bones, but most tragically my brain.

I knew when I came back that I was being sifted. I knew I wanted to kill satan – still do- and that I walked with Jesus. I failed so many of His tests and I’m sure you have too. We all do but that is why God’s Grace is so important! He extends this on how much is needed. It’s almost like magic. I was always drawn to the occult and everything it entailed. I loved superheroes, vampires and werewolves. If these things were real I wanted to live it and to see… so, witchcraft enticed me. I cast my first spell at 26. Did it work? Demonic forces and spirits are all around you but you can beat it with God. I am so blessed that God forgives me and I can tell you that it is real and there are people that practice it. Old satan has been trying to get me to come to the dark side since that night. When I said I had too much love for Jesus he tried to take me out and he’s been trying since.

July 8, 2012 I hit that tree head on going 58 MPH.

That is my car, Maggie. I was tossed into some trees, still inside the car, and then she was dropped from about 20 feet up. We know that bc of car parts in the tree. I was still finding things that flew out of my car 6 months later.

Jesus reached in hell and grabbed me out. I was at the gates of hell and I have never been so afraid. It still scares me to even talk about it bc people are there. They have died and went to hell bc of their own stupid pride. That spirit of unbelief is running rampant in this day and age. If my story of telling you it’s real can save your soul then my entire experience was worth it. I died, and woke up in doom. The smell is rancid and the screams are unbearable. The darkness and heat … those spirits that are telling you that you aren’t enough, that you are a bad mom, get them off of you…. that is for someone out there reading this. The gift of Prophecy….God has shown me numerous gifts that He sent me back with. I do not accomplish anything without Him. I am nothing without Him!! I shouldn’t even be alive!

When I was in hell I have never felt so insecure, hated, remorseful or agony in all my life. Why did I go there? I don’t know! Oh, really I do know but I am not gonna drop 25 verses on you explaining it. Had I accepted Christ before my wreck, yes. Don’t let people lie to you and say we can’t walk away from God bc you can. God will never walk away from you but we all know how to get rid of Him. I am not proud of this but I am here as proof telling you hell is real. Those spirits swarming are real too and we are told this, bind and loosen. Matt. 16:19. I know my enemy and I have learned how to beat him. I battle everyday of my life and if not for myself for my kids, my grands, my country… my people. Intercessory prayer is another gift. All prophets are intercessors but that doesn’t mean all intercessors are prophets. The office of a prophet is extreme and this is coming from someone that was in love w a few vampires. I thought the Sheriff of Area 5 had it all and I’d of loved to had his superpowers… hahah… now I laugh at myself bc the real power is in Jesus. My gosh at the stuff He comes up with. He is really a funny guy and a true southern smarty pants. Well, He is… what do you want?! Matt. 10:51. He is so blunt but so kind and humorous. Get in the Word and you’ll see.

I really did need a hero and Jesus is my guy! I was beat up mentally from the jump and hardly ever trusted anyone. I have had a very interesting life for sure and I had some reckless fun. Now, I just have a ton of fun! I get to battle with spirits even though it may not sound like much fun… I am alive and I am thankful. I will go to battle for Him everyday of my life bc He died for me. Not just that but He saved me.

Everything we do is a choice. I made a choice in coming back not having any idea how it would all play out. Actually, He showed me how a lot was going to play out but I never saw all of this. I never saw all the heartache attached to traumatic brain injury (TBI). I wish I had never had to see it but I’m thankful bc of the amazing people I got to meet. I am so blessed to be a survivor!! I am eternally blessed for Jesus! I am ecstatic that He got me out of hell and part of me wanted to stay in heaven bc He was allowing me in. He had a spot for me even with all the stupid crap I had done. Wow at His grace! I really dislike talking about this. I want to shove this memory out of my head and never allow it to resurface. Spirits are real. Hell is real. Jesus is real. It’s all real!

I don’t really know where to start on why I got to see hell so I’ll give some of the verses God dropped on me in explanation. He is telling me why to everything that has ever happened to me but some of it I’m ok not knowing. 1. Don’t commit adultery- I did. 2. Don’t kill- I did. 3. Don’t lie, cheat or steal- I had. 4. Don’t be Luke warm or be riding the fence- I was. I was not even the bad one of my group – and I went to hell!! Did I mention how important repentance is? If I didn’t let’s get that done right now. If we don’t confess our sins and ask for forgiveness what does He have to forgive? This is where and why the relationship with Jesus is so important. I use God, Jesus, He … they are all interchangeable and mean God!! God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one!! One beautiful person that loves you! The more you get to know Him, after truly accepting Him, the more you will love Him.

Sending me to hell was prolly the only thing that would have made me change. God has used the Holy Spirit in me to try and change me before I died but I wasn’t having it. We have to want to change. Now I know it was Him but I’d always go get right back in bed with Satan. Just flirting with him is a disaster and I was sleeping with the enemy. Living in sin separates us from God. The more sin the more you’re away from Him- just stop bc He will win! If He doesn’t win and you died today where would you go? He means His Word and He sticks to it. I am forever grateful that I got to see hell. I didn’t just get to see hell though, I also saw the majestic beauty of Heaven. The smell there is like flowers, babies and sweet cake all rolled into one. The singing is beautiful and amazing, and puts new meaning to why I love music. Getting my brain back is the best thing bc I live amongst us. Do you know how mean people are? I am an educated woman with immense street smarts, and have a take charge personality …. people were still as mean as they could be to me. I see why Jesus tells us to treat others as we want to be treated. I would retreat to my room and cry my eyes out. Now, I know it is usually a rancid spirit hovering making folks act out of character. We can’t blame spirits and Satan for everything bc what can start with them is ultimately a choice made by us!!

Did you know there are angels everywhere and God is testing you? Be ready bc you never know when you’re gonna come up against one or meet Him!!

I still don’t like talking about hell, fire and brimstone… I really want to have a panic attack right now but this has to be put out there. I was having an affair that I was not sorry for when I died. I was in love and I was not sorry for loving them both. I was not sorry for many things bc I didn’t even know it was a sin. Y’all wouldn’t even believe how much we sin!! My mouth was a sinning machine- but God !! Only God could teach me to keep my mouth shut bc I let everyone know what they really were if they crossed me. Oh, y’all, at that mouth I HAD! Keyword is had! Please don’t ever make me have a flashback bc let me tell ya my flesh is weak! I wanted to kill someone just last week and they better be thankful and praising Jesus!! Praise Him!! He is so worthy of all your praise. Just tell Him thank You.

I had no idea this was how this was going to spin when I started writing… 😂. God cracks me up in how He is doing all of this through me. He scared hell right out of me! I don’t want to scare anyone but I do want you to know it’s real. BUT, So is heaven and it is the most beautiful place full of love, peace, comfort, and joy… I will describe it but it’s not going to be today. I think I just got my exercise for today running into Jesus Christ’s arms as He pulled me from hell.

Y’all, I am so serious I just want to praise Him immensely for snatching me out of hell. I had to die to realize it was real bc I didn’t believe either. Seeing is believing! Don’t wait until death to find Jesus, the one and only superhero!! He walks on water and so can you with that new body we get!! That new body is off the chain!

I am not going back up and reading this to edit it bc I will end up not posting it. I’m really embarrassed about going to hell. I didn’t know exactly who Jesus was; I thought He was the death angel. The supernatural world is crazy, God is the original drama King that is for sure. It’s like we are a big science fair project. Angels, demons, spirits, witches and warlocks… trust me, I know how it sounds, but it’s true. This is the craziest stuff I’ve ever heard and if it didn’t happen to me idk if I would believe it. I grew up in church but in a Baptist church… we don’t talk about witchcraft or spirits it’s taboo. Forget everything you ever learned about religion. If you don’t all of this will blow your mind! It still blows mine and it happened to me.

Happy New Year and may God protect, keep and sustain you until the next year! God bless!!

One hour at a time is how we make it through anything. 2019 was a drastically different year and put me in situations I never thought I’d walk through. I never thought I’d see things in others that I saw. Some of things changed me and not for the better; at first. I am glad I got to see who some people really are and that I can leave them behind. Negative thoughts and actions, and the spirit, rubs off on you if you aren’t careful. The last few days I have been breaking spirits, soul ties and generational curses. I have been tormented by the enemy and his goons but I have come out on top and on fire!

To get through anything life throws at us it takes one moment at a time. One second at a time. One minute at a time. One hour at a time. One at a time! You can do this! Being overwhelmed is a part of defeating a fear. If you’ve done it once you can do it again.

I pray for God to send me His strength bc I know how weak I am. I pray this every single hour until I am through the hurdle or over it. Ask Him to be your strength today He will show up and show out! Deut. 31:6 He will never forsake you! He is always with you. I trust in Him when I cannot trust anything else around me… especially myself.

Father, wrap us in your love. Send us your peace and strength Lord. See us through the next hour. One hour at a time we will fight our battles with You and asking You for strength. Thank You Lord for Your Holy Spirit inside of us. Thank you for the spirit of strength You are supplying us with. We will praise our way through this storm. In Jesus name ~ amen !
