  5. It was like God was talking to my subconscious, I could feel his presence, and feel the negative spirit leave. Thank you so much for these instructed prayers. I pray daily, however I didn’t feel I had the appropriate words. Especially when dealing with outside forces. I don’t have a church or a very good support system. So I do all my studies and pray in private. My prayers are always answered. And I have been utilizing every tool I have. This is my newest tool. And I am grateful.
