Some setbacks feel personal, like someone is rooting for you to lose even while they smile to your face. We dig into the spiritual idea of the evil eye and why envy and jealousy can hide behind compliments, hugs, and “support” that never quite supports. If you’ve ever felt pressured to make yourself smaller, second-guess your wins, or watch opportunities disappear for no clear reason, this conversation names that darkness and points toward a way back into light.

What The Evil Eye Means

SPEAKER_04

Hi there, Medegar of the Bible bless your life. Together once again with this Paranormal Activity Series. These days we are talking about darkness to light. This is what everybody wants, the light. The Lord said, Let there be light. Because we live in this evil world, evil environment, full of jealousy, envy, and talking about that. Today we are talking about this evil eye. What is an evil eye all about? We have been talking about many types of witchcraft. We spoke about black magic, white magic, voodoo. Today is about evil eye. And I want you to watch right now what evil eye is all about. Because uh we live among people, not so often they come and say, I hate you, I envy you, but they have evil eye.

SPEAKER_01

People watch you grow, but the smiles hide the envy. Jealousy moves in the shadows, opportunities vanish. Not because you failed, but because your progress was resented. Friends turn into enemies. Support becomes suspicion. They don't want what you have. They want you to lose it. Slowly you make yourself small. You doubt yourself. You lower your dreams to keep others comfortable. That's the curse caused by the evil eye.

SPEAKER_04

And this evil eye is caused by envy, jealous, somebody that put their big eyes upon what you have. They wish they want what you have. It happened to this late Mrs. Barry, because after someone blew a strange powder on her, this is what happened to her. I want you to watch her story, and in a few, we are going to be back and we are going to pray for you.

SPEAKER_00

I was unemployed for a long time. I want to say uh for about four to five years. As I was trying to better my life, I received a job from a neighborhood grocery store in our neighborhood. When I started working there, uh I was a cashier and someone had came through the line and they had blew some sort of powder on me. You know, I like looked at the person and I wanted to say something, but mind you, they didn't even purchase anything. They just walked out of the store. I seen the person like frequently, but I never spoke. You know, they never spoke to me. It's just this particular day, and like from that moment on, I couldn't walk. So I had like a relative like come and pick me up, like put me on their back and carry me home. From there, I called the ambulance. The ambulance came and they did an evaluation at the hospital and they told me that nothing was wrong. And I was telling my family member, like, something's wrong, something's wrong. You know, I was suffering with anxiety, my heart was beating really fast. I just, I felt like I was gonna die. This situation happened, and after I lost the job and everything, I feel like my life just spiraled downhill even more. I was scared all the time. I was having bad thoughts. Um, I felt like I thought I was going crazy, honestly. I was addicted to, you know, marijuana and you know, um, pills, and so this person had invited me and I had rejected him a few times. But this particular day, you know, he had invited me again and I was just down, I was down and out. And, you know, I went to the service, I went on Friday, and you know, I felt really good when I left, but still I knew it was something that I needed. So I continued to come. I was coming every single day, Monday through Friday, three services a day. In different services, I felt like things were specifically for me. So I would go home and I would like try to do those things. I mean, you know, stop cursing until you know I wasn't having those anxiety attacks anymore. I wasn't having insomnia. I could actually sleep at night. I would suffer from real bad like withdrawals, like I would be sick, I would be sweating, chills, like didn't want to move, had no energy to clean the house, no energy to cook, no energy to do anything. And I had asked God, I was like, God, and the reason why I kept relapsing wasn't because I wanted to get high, it was because I didn't want to feel how it felt, those withdrawals. I never wanted to feel that feeling. So I just would be taking a drug so I wouldn't feel ill, I want to say. And so I had asked God, I said, God, please, can you please take, if anything, take the withdrawals away. If you take the withdrawals away, I won't ever use any of those things again. And I lied to you, not. It was like immediately the taste was gone. Even when I had stopped using the drugs, I didn't have a feeling like an urge to smoke it. Like honestly, it started making me sick. Today, my life is so much better. Um, I'm able to hold a job. Back then, I couldn't. They always consider me for, you know, higher positions. Right now, I'm in the process of receiving a raise at the job that I am in right now. I've been there for two years. I did graduate. Um, I was super proud of myself, my kids. It was something that I wanted to show them, like, no matter what, because I felt like I was too old to go back to school. Every year, I would like to upgrade my car. Anxiety's gone. Praise God, because that's that I feel like that's the most awful thing you can ever experience. If anybody has ever experienced anxiety, you it feels like you're about to die. Your heart is beating out of your chest. It's gone. Praise God for that. And I'm just grateful. I'm I'm highly grateful for the deliverance, honestly, and and I'll never go back, ever.

A Prison Letter On Spiritual Attacks

SPEAKER_04

Well, you see now how gossip starts, evil eyes, people are talking about you. They even kiss you, hug you. You better select your friends. Not everybody that says they are your friends, they are your friends. Many people are fake, especially when they come with discompliments. Yes, they want to praise you, compliment you. My friend, you better be careful because they don't like when you succeed. They are envious. When you succeed, they completely hate it. However, evil eyes destroys, yes, destroys a person's life. You see right now how they hug, but it is not real. That's why right now we are going to pray. Just as the Lord, the God of the Bible, blessed the life of Mrs. Barry, he's going to bless your life as well. Before we go to the prayer, I want you to watch this letter. Jessica is reading the letter. I received many letters from Prisa. If you are out there in Prisa, you can send me this letter. Let us watch, and I'll be back praying for you.

SPEAKER_05

Hello, Bishop Ira Joshua. Hello, viewers. It is a pleasure to be here on the show once again and reading a letter that this person is particularly asking for advice. Bishop era Joshua, as you know, sir, there's a lot of people incarcerated, and sometimes there's nobody to talk to. Right. And sometimes we ourselves we seek, we long for someone to talk to, someone who's going to give us advice. And unfortunately, we get advice sometimes from the wrong person. People who instigate, our friends try to be there for us, but end up giving us bad advice and escalate the situation. But here on the UBB episodes, Bishop Era Joshua receives letters every single day, and he gives advice to those who ask for it based on the word of God. So today, Tuesday, we talk about spiritual advice, and we have a letter that somebody is asking for some advice. So if you want to write in your own letters, you're seeking some advice. You can write a physical letter to the address 7075 Southwest Freeway in Houston. That's the state of Texas. Or you can send Bishop Your Joshua an e-message, right, Bishop? They can send you an e-message at any time. There's no time limit or days. Every single day, 24-7, you can write a letter or an e-message to Bishop Eura Joshua. And we always keep everyone's information anonymous so that you don't have to worry about your personal uh information or name or information about your case, getting out to here on the show. You don't worry about that. We'll take care of that for you. So the letter says, hello, UBB. I appreciate the strong messages on the tablets. They are really good to watch and listen to because I have been feeling spiritually attacked with negative feelings. I pray and I pray, I rebuke it in Jesus' name, but it doesn't always work. And then it starts again after some time. There's a lot on my mind. I feel like I'm always getting blamed for something. And I'm never heard, my voice is never heard until the very last moment. I was uh found not guilty in the last case, praise God, but now I have another case pending. Nobody is listening to me. My lawyer says I can probably go for bail reconsideration, but I don't know. My matter is very weak by law, no evidence. My past is just always playing a part in my present. Please pray for me and those who are sick and homeless as it really touches my heart. God bless you may be. Thank you, Bishop Bear Joshua. So this letter from Raul, Bishop Bear Joshua, is a letter that he's asking for some advice because he's facing a couple of negative feelings, um, negative thoughts as well. And he's trying to use his faith, but it works for a little while, but it's like a band-aid, right? He puts it on and then it doesn't solve the problem, it just covers it for a little while until the spiritual attacks come back. And also he feels like his voice is never heard, and all of his past is just coming right back up. It's just flooding in. So he can't seem to escape that. So, Bishop Eric Joshua, what is your advice for Raul? And anybody else who is also facing a similar situation, I know that the past is always a hard topic to talk about, especially when we're not healed from the past, right, sir? So, what do you have to say, sir, about this case? I'm intrigued as well to hear.

Deliverance Prayer With Water

SPEAKER_04

Thank you very much, uh, Jessica. Since today we are talking about the um this topic, darkness to light, evil eye. I want you, I'm going to be praying for you, but I want you to understand the lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. If you want the light, your eye must be good for your body to have the light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if you don't want darkness, you need to have good eyes. If you have a bad eye, you are going to have darkness. This is the word of Jesus. We read Matthew, you see it over there. 6, 22 and 23. Now is the moment of prayer. Please get your capofora.

SPEAKER_03

Even in the darkest places, God's light still reaches. No matter what has held you, what has followed you, or what has been done against you, this is the moment to be set free. Have your cup of water as Bishop Bira Joshua makes the prayer for your deliverance.

SPEAKER_04

All evil spirits, right now, you say in Jesus' name, get out.

SPEAKER_03

For as it is written, if the sun sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Closing And How To Reach Us

SPEAKER_04

Oh God Almighty, in your holy, powerful, precious name, I ask you to bless my Lord Jesus Cap of War. So that when dispersed a drink of this water, that they may drink thy power. Amen. Drink now your water, wherever you may be, it is blessed. Amen. Now is the moment to remove all darkness from your life. Raise now both your hands, close your eyes. In the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Father. Right now we bless Holy Spirit, these hands. Let these hands be yours. Place your hands upon your head. Yes, your hands upon your head. Please close your eyes in the name of Jesus. Evil came upon this life because of somebody else's eyes. They were envious of this person, jealous.
