Trigger Warning. This is important information but let me start by saying I am NOT recommending that survivors fast early in their healing and definitely not in preparation for Halloween.

The high rituals have started and will continue for 2 weeks after Halloween. The atmosphere is the heaviest I’ve felt it in a long time. It’s like a demonic covering has been placed over the entire earth and nobody will escape its reach. Keep your armor on and be in constant prayer.

If I asked the average person to describe what they think a high ritual looks like, for most it would be impossible to come up with anything close to the realities of what takes place because we were not created to experience evil. While the horror movies can be a portal, activate programming, and send a survivor’s system spiraling, the storylines still pale in comparison to the truth. The sleeping church continues to compromise, but the enemy has been preparing around the clock.

This is a time that survivors need to take every measure possible to protect themselves not only spiritually, but physically too. The atmosphere alone is enough to make a survivor feel ill, then add the memories, callbacks, witchcraft, and restlessness inside and it’s easy to not feel up to self-care.

I used to fast during this time for two reasons. First, I logically thought it would help keep me safe and push back the demonic. Secondly, because I was grieving and had no appetite. If I was going to starve as part of my way to cope, then I might as well make it count for something. That thinking never works in a survivor’s favor.

What I didn’t realize was that not taking care of myself wasn’t just making me weak in the physical. I thought I was just in a bad mood when I felt icky but didn’t know why. I fed that feeling by staying in bed all day. Then I stopped getting up at 3:00 AM to pray like I normally did. I started overlooking the small but critical things I needed to avoid. Eventually, I found myself in double binds and compromises that I didn’t want to be a part of because I was too tired to fight.

I was too weak and distracted to notice that I had laid down my sword.

I was dehydrated, hungry, and my system was spiraling out of control. I had littles that were freaking out that we weren’t eating. They were reliving the starvation and felt like they were back in their programming or at rituals again. They were sad, confused, and scared. I didn’t know my system yet, so I didn’t understand why I felt so horrid or that my little parts felt like they were being punished all over again.

Survivors should not fast until they are quite healed and get the green light from Yeshua. They could fast other things like TV or spend the evening in prayer instead of whatever they normally do, but to restrict food while healing from SRA or mind control programming can be dangerous. Fasting can trigger bombs and traps or worse that have been placed in the system of a programmed multiple. It can also trigger parts that have been used in Halloween rituals into action or trigger memories that flood the system. If you’re struggling to eat, try asking another part if they want to come to the front and eat or have a protein shake and some crackers.

The trick or treat of fasting.

Fasting is a big part of the dark side, and they will use your fast for their purposes. If a survivor hasn’t had a lot of healing and done a lot of work with back parts, they will have parts reporting back to the occult that they are fasting. Then while the front part is fasting for the right reasons, their back parts will be using the fast to prepare for rituals. We have to remember that they try to copy and invert everything that is holy.

Disgusting demonic copycats.

A much better way to prepare for Halloween is to go to the Courts of Heaven. Survivors can ask to go to the Court of Mercy and declare that they don’t want to go to rituals and that it is against their free will to go. They can stand in the gap on behalf of their system and declare that they want it stopped and ask for mercy. Even though I have no parts going to rituals that I am aware of, I will still be doing this often throughout this ritual season. We cannot assume that this doesn’t apply to us. We don’t know what we don’t know, and it is not worth the risk to not do everything we can to stay safe.

I cannot encourage you enough to fight for your healing or for the survivors that need your prayers by laying aside the normal life things and entering the battlefield. Put on the full armor of God and fight from a position of victory in Christ.
