Sleepless No More
Sleepless nights can feel like a private war—lights on, heart racing, mind running laps around the same fears. We go straight into that battle and name what many are afraid to say out loud: sometimes, insomnia isn’t just about the body; it’s about the soul. We open up a path to rest that pairs honest faith with practical steps, and we do it through story, scripture, and a bold prayer of deliverance.
Whether you’re pacing a small apartment, circling a prison cell, or lying awake in a quiet house, you’re not stuck. Take the verse to heart, say it out loud, and let your body learn peace again. If this speaks to you, subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs rest, and leave a review telling us how Psalm 4:8 changed your night.
Now streamed on all major podcast platforms, edifying your mind, body and soul. We welcome you to listen now to Soul Food with your main host, Bishop Joshua. Here we are always ready to share a word of faith, unpack powerful testimonies, and divinely inspired music to enhance your faith walk. Wherever you go. Here on the Soul Food Podcast.
SPEAKER_06:You are not crazy! Paranormal activity series.
SPEAKER_03:Hi there! Bless your life. Paranormal activity. This is our weekly series here. And in this episode today, I want to talk about insomnia: a person that cannot sleep well. You torse and you turn, but you cannot sleep. Even those who take sleeping pills, no matter how strong the dose is or the doses are, they cannot sleep well at all. And this is what happened to them when they take a lot of pills, a lot of medication, but look at that. They are still awaken and they see the hours passing by, the night becomes longer. Then comes night murder leaders, then come uh spiritual attacks. Well, you need to be set free. There you go, you take more medications, you take more pills to sleep. I want to show to you right now what sleep last night or so-called insomnia is all about. We are going to watch this, and in a few, I'm going to pray for you. I want you to prepare a cup of water because we shall pray together.
SPEAKER_00:Recently, I have not been able to get any rest whatsoever. This insomnia has started to get in the way of my life, and I need answers. I try to pace around my room to try and get myself to get some rest. Even during the day, I am unable to get some rest. Because my insomnia continues to persist, I find myself irritated and upset for many times out of the week. I have gone to the doctor for this problem to see if something can be done. I have taken medication as well. Nothing seems to be working right now. It continues to go on.
SPEAKER_03:She could not sleep. Yes, at night. She was dependent on uh sleeping pills, and she uh had heard inside of her bedroom, I guess, so many footsteps that she could not even explain the constant feeling of being watched, like somebody's watching you. People like this have to sleep with the lights on. I want you to understand what uh sleepless night, what insony is all about. The scripture says over here, how you both lie down in peace and sleep. Many lying down, but not so many sleep. In a few we are going to pray based upon Jesus words, and from now on, you are going to sleep like a baby. Let us want her testimony, her story, and I am going to be right back!
SPEAKER_02:My name is Marlon Sarong and I am a secretary. I started having nightmares. I started hearing steps, I started I started to feel feel very scared, like somebody would be watching me all the time. And I always thought that I was gonna die, that somebody was gonna kill me. I always felt things around me that were not there. And every time I would go to sleep, I used to feel like somebody would lay on top of me. And things that were not normal. Those are the that's how my suffering started happening. I I didn't want to go to sleep anymore. I couldn't sleep anymore. So I actually started to take um medicine to be able to go to sleep. That's where my addiction started happening because I became addicted to those pills. And also because of that, I also started getting involved through a family member. I met alcohol and I started to drink very much at a very young age. I started to have suicidal thoughts because all those things that were happening to me, and nobody was able to help me. Like I couldn't go nowhere. So I thought that maybe by dying I was gonna have peace. Because not the friends, not the alcohol, not the pills, not getting high, and none of that would actually fulfill me and take away all those problems, all the spiritual problems that I had at that moment. I wanted to have somebody to make me happy, to make me feel like I was worth it, to make me feel like those things, those spiritual emptiness that I had and the spiritual problems who actually would go away because I thought I was missing something. I didn't feel like I was normal, because I didn't hear nobody else having those sleeping problems, those nightmares and things like that. So, and you know, I was just really, really sad inside of me. I would actually also have um anxiety attacks, attacks. Like I would be somewhere and I felt like something was about to happen, and I couldn't I wasn't able to breathe at the moment. I had to like stop, and my I I felt like I was gonna die at the moment. And I was getting those attacks very frequently. I learned about the universal church because um my mom started going to participating at the church, and um she I saw in a very short time um my mom's life and her and her husband's life started to change dramatically. Um, God was doing his work in their life, and um, you know, I I don't know, something inside of me, she says that she told me that she was praying for me. And then from that, something inside of me, I decided to go visit them. And when I went to visit them, and I saw that everything that she was saying was true. Her life was changing, her marriage was changing. It was just a completely other person. So that made me like, oh, I want the same thing that my mom has. And I started doing the channel prayer um every uh Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays, and Sundays because I needed help in every single aspect of my life. And the first miracle that I had that made me even believe more, the very, very first thing was that I started sleeping with no nightmares. And as I keep coming, um those those that fear, those anxiety attacks, um, all those issues, those spiritual problems actually started to disappear. I was already sicking. I keep hearing the pastor talking about the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit. I didn't know what the Holy Spirit was. But then as I keep on, they they were guiding me. Hey, Marlett, do this, do that, um, come more, um, pray more, and ask God to change from inside out. And one day um I received his spirit. Those fears that I had before, everything started changing. I had this power inside of me, and it was not just a feeling or a feeling like a very good feeling. It was in um, I was sure. It gave me security inside of me that he was there with me and that he was gonna guide me every step of my life. And the Holy Spirit, he did his work in me towards my sentimental life. Because I was before I had him, before I had the Holy Spirit, I was always making bad decisions. I was always going by what I was feeling, um, feelings of needing somebody to actually feel happy. But the Holy Spirit, he already made me happy. He already made me complete. But he guided me to make the right decisions because he said in his word that it's not good for men to be alone. And, you know, coming, learning. He guided me to wait for the person that he was gonna prepare for me. And God did that. Um, as I started changing, moving forward in my life. Um, God presented me this man of God who is now my husband, and we are happily uh married and we have a great relationship. We help each other stay strong in the faith. You know, he was added in my life to actually keep me strong, to keep going, to not give up, and we help each other towards that journey. And the number one in our life is God. God is the number one person in our relationship, and he's the one who always keeps us together, keep us strong, keep us moving forward, having good eyes towards each other. Um, in between us, there's no misunderstanding, there's no arguments, there's no disrespect. Um, there's nothing that put us in compromise in our salvation. Our salvation is not compromised with it with each other, it's actually the opposite. It's the number one thing that we both have, our salvation, and we work towards that together as a relationship.
SPEAKER_03:The same God who set her free and blessed her life in many areas of her life, he is going to do it for you. We are going to pray together right now, and from now on, you are going to pray Psalms 4, verse 8. Whenever you cannot sleep, since you have sleepy pills, you cannot sleep, you toss and turn, you watch V, you even drink, you use drugs. Over there in prison, you walk inside of the cell, uh in a circle because you are in a concrete box. You cannot walk a faraway place to a faraway place. You have to walk inside, trying to be exhausted to sleep. You are going to pray Psalms 4, verse 8, which says, I will both lie down in peace and sleep. For you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. God is going to make you to dwell in safety. Right now, for the prayer of deliverance, I want you to stretch out your hands, lift your hands right now, close your eyes. In Jesus' name, O God, I ask you to bless their hands with thy power. And Jesus that cannot sleep well. In the name of Jesus Christ. Right now, right now this life is for you now. Raise your water, close your eyes. In the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and the Father. I ask you right now that you bless this water for their complete freedom and deliverance. In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Amen. Drink not your water. It is blessed, and you are blessed, and you are free. Amen. In Jesus' name, from now on, you are going to sleep like a baby. Now, which are the next steps you have to do in order to stay blessed, to stay free?
