Force of evil!!!
How strong is the force of evil? My greatest challenge to overcome evil force is when the moment I pray, prayer is the elevation of the mind and heart to God in praise of his glory; a petition made to God for some desired goods or in thanksgiving for a goods received, or in intercession for others before God. Through prayer we experience a communion with God through Christ in the Church so in this moment of silence, we should lift up our whole self to GOD and contemplate whole heartedly, but EVIL sucks… every time I pray, evil is clinging on me, I talked to God but my sub-conscious mind is thinking of anything (what to eat, what to buy, unforgettable experience within the day, everything) to interfere my communication with GOD and it is extremely difficult to overcome with. The statistics of my successful prayers is 60% over 40%. The 60% is interfered by evil and the 40% is success. See how evil works? But damn you SATAN!!! Now I know the technique of having successful prayer with God.
To overcome the force of evil, we need to give more time when we pray, 5 minutes is not enough, it will just worsened it. At first, ask GOD to be with you, call His spirit, when you feel his presence or your sub-conscious is thinking of him praise him, praise him for the good things he have given you, if your mind is still out to somewhere else or to something else, continue praising HIM praise and praise and talk to GOD until the power of evil will be overpowered by GOD and that you will realize you are talking to him as your friend, telling him everything you worried about, your petitions, heartaches, failures, emptiness, achievements and everything. I have come across this experience and it was my greatest moment with GOD an experience of desiring to go over and over again with GOD. It’s the greatest triumph I had; defeating evil is indeed a fulfillment.
Believers will tell us that GOD is everywhere but evil too is everywhere that’s for sure. When we attend Eucharist, we feel so sleepy when the Priest will deliver his homily, but when our friend will tell us about someone’s funny outfit, overdo make up, cute guys and etc. we will be awakened and bully those innocents who were evil’s instruments for his combat with GOD. Damn thing!!! Reality isn’t it?

See, mama,you know how to fight evil forces...if i may just add 1+1=2, hehehe,jus a kid...Well, you can cast them all away after you give your praises and thaksgiving..Yeah,you're right evil grows side by side with goodness, its up to us if we give in to temptations. Having a personal relationship with God is like having a relationship with your friend, boyfriend,girlfriend, family members,etc. That is why we have to nurture it everyday.just like when we are in a relationship, we want to see them everyday, we want to talk to them everyday,everything we wanna do we want them to be part of it.If we are like that to others, the more we have to be to JC! You know what? WHAT? Me i sing...i always have a karaoke session with JC, because they say that singing is twice praying and singing out of tune is 10 times praying.Bwuahahaha.
Yes, God is enough! He is sufficient. If God is with you,who can be against you. If God protects you, who can harm you.There's nothing more we can want, there's nothing more we can need than to be with Him everyday... So set a date to be with Him..be specific..where,what time and how long...May God be praised!
May the force be with you.
