We understand that you're experiencing distress and seeking a solution to your concerns about spiritual darkness. First, let's address the issue of burning a mattress. Scripture tells us "Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them." Ephesians 5:11 WEB. It's important to know that burning a mattress will not resolve spiritual issues, as spiritual battles are fought on our knees in prayer, not with physical fire.
Moreover, it's crucial to address the source of the advice you received. The Bible warns us, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves." Matthew 7:15 WEB. We should test every spirit to see if it aligns with God's word, as false teachings can lead us astray.
Let's focus on the spiritual battle at hand. The Bible assures us, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7 WEB. We need to submit ourselves to God, resist the devil through His word, and the demons will flee. No physical action can replace the spiritual authority given to us in Jesus' name through prayer. No other name has access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved either.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your divine intervention. We rebuke any demonic presence or influence and command them to flee in Jesus' name. Lord, surround this person with Your hedge of protection and fill their home with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Guide them with Your wisdom and discernment, and help them to be strong and courageous in You. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
Moving forward, immerse yourself in God's word, prayer, and fellowship with believers. "For though we walk in the flesh, we don't wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds." 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 WEB. Trust in the Lord, and He will deliver you.
