When God’s strength is present, anxiety is quashed.
Day 42: God gives you mental and emotional strength. Trying to develop this strength on your own, won’t work. Because demons step in and muck things up. Anxiety is a direct result.
Pride rules our lives when we parade around like a peacock bragging about our accomplishments. Until someone reminds you that everything you see and every strength you carry comes from God.
Humility. Both power and vision belong to God first. He chooses how much power and vision to give you.
Therefore, there’s nothing for you to take credit for, and nothing to defend.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13
Anxiety is a demon. If you make your emotion an opponent, you thrash it instead of embracing it.
Anxiety distracts you and pulls your mind away from connecting with Team Trinity.
- Anxiety: fear and worry weakens you (River of Shame)
- Strength: resilience, mental sharpness, and control over your reactions (River of Grace)
When you step into anxiety and allow it to spiral, you weaken yourself emotionally. Your focus is in on the people in your situations, and not on your Heavenly Father — where real strength comes from.
It’s always your choice to turn your back on a demon and turn your face towards God. Squash (like a bug) anxiety or quash it (annul)? It’s up to you.
Any contract you’ve made with a demon can be annulled. But only with the help of Team Trinity.
Whenever I hear people say, “my anxiety”, it feels like they’re saying, “my demon”. Spiritual warfare isn’t present because you already surrendered to the wrong side.
Strength is reflected when I say, “My heavenly Father, my Jesus, and my Holy Spirit.”

What people are saying about Demon Spotting…
“I respect your honesty as well. We may express our faith differently, but I think there’s something important in what you said – staying awake, staying aware, and not drifting through life on autopilot. That ‘warrior’ lens you speak from is clearly part of your journey, and I can see the conviction behind it.” Dean Jones
