James Hardy Returns To #MusicLov3rz July!

"As a psalmist, I often encounter Spiritual Warfare every time I stand before God's people leading them into his presence. However it did not start there. It goes way back to when I was 4 years old. As I shared in my last testimony I have wrestled with the spirit of fear for many years in various ways and by the grace of God, I have and am overcoming day by day. But this was but a fraction of my experience with the spirit realm. When I gave my life to the Lord the gift of a seer began to increase especially during worship. This went beyond the 4 walls of the church. Whenever I would praise the Lord his presence would fill the room and anything ungodly would either run and hide or be exposed at that moment. Throughout my life I would encounter these various spirits in dreams as that was the most vulnerable state I was in. At that time I thought I had the right people to talk to about these experiences but I was fooled. I was met with criticism, skepticism, envy and jealousy over something I never asked for. But God, who is rich in mercy overtime brought me to the place of maturity and understanding where I was not only able to overcome these spirits little by little but learn how to wage war in the spirit and help guide others on how to do the same by the Spirit of God and his Word".
