ARE YOU A WATCHMAN OVER YOUR LIFE?

Are you fortifying the walls of your life to keep the enemy out in your prayer closet?

As we prepare to transition into the new year (Rosh Hashanah Sept. 22-24, 2025), I believe it is vital we start to MAINTAIN a healthy lifestyle where we tend to OURSELVES more often in prayer. Allowing the Father to reveal to us if there be any unclean thing attached to us in any way that is hindering the flow of His Spirit in our lives. So that we may live a life of freedom and holiness unto the Lord.

Many of us are bond and unaware. Many of us are truly not living in the fullness of who the Father has created us to be, because we are yoked up with the wrong people, places, and things. Some are bond to wrong mindsets. Strongholds that are keeping us from stepping into a new way of life in Jesus. Some of us are bond to demonic generational cycles that tend to repeat themselves throughout every generation within our bloodline, robbing us of our true inheritance in Christ Jesus. Many of us are bond because we are simply overlooking the need for our souls to be restored in the Lord. This requires us to lie down in green pastures, and be led by the Father to still waters where our souls can be restored.

When we neglect the NEED to be a watchman over our OWN lives to fortify the walls of our life, we open the door to the enemy. We open the door to demonic spirits to be in operation in our lives. They come to kill, steal, and destroy the plans of God for our lives. They come to destroy our relationships, finances, health, divine opportunities, etc. If we are not sober and alert in the spirit realm, they will succeed.

This is a season where I feel the Father is inviting us into a greater level of intimacy with Him so that we may be transformed from the inside out. A season where we take a look within us and not outwardly at others. Where we acknowledge the unclean spirits at work in our lives, and the root issues that opened the door to them. This gives us an opportunity to change the trajectory of our lives. This gives us an opportunity to see life and life more abundantly be made manifest in our lives, instead of death to the purposes and plans of God for our lives.

I believe it is important you know that an unclean spirit in operation in your life is just the fruit, and it is not the root. We must deal with the fruit, yes, but we must also identify the root issue that brought forth the fruit. When we choose to do this, we no longer give the unclean spirit an open door to us.

We must be SELF aware. Able to discern what is at work in our OWN lives and respond appropriately. This will not only help you maintain your freedom, but it will also give you compassion for others. Where you choose to look pass the fruit (unclean spirit) and see the brokenness. It will help you love others well and it will also help you to be QUICK to forgive.

I am choosing to live out what I am teaching, and it has been beautiful. I would like to help you walk these things out as well. I get the chance to do this with my new book "It is Written" Volume 2. The release date has been pushed back to September 10, 2025. It will be available for purchase September 10th on Amazon and carlnikahooks.com.

It is time for us to live in the FREEDOM that has been granted to us through the shed BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST! Giving us an opportunity to be the FULL EXPRESSION of the Father has created us to be!
