Reed’s Reads of Wisdom Wednesdays™: “Speaking Evil” – The Power Behind the Words We Use

🔥 Introduction: When Words Carry Eternal Weight

There are moments in spiritual warfare where the battlefield isn't merely physical—it's verbal, emotional, and psychological. In Chapter 3 of Book II of S.O.L.A.D.™: “Speaking Evil,” we witness a terrifying clash between the Soldiers of Light and the Demon Master himself. But this isn’t just a battle of weapons. It’s a battle of truth versus manipulation, of identity versus intimidation, and of the Word of God versus the lies of the enemy.

The Demon Master doesn’t need to swing a sword to do damage—he speaks evil into the air, whispering doubt, taunting destiny, and distorting the truth. And yet, our heroes rise, resist, and reclaim the narrative through obedience, self-sacrifice, and divine power.

This chapter is more than a scene of action—it is a spiritual wake-up call for every believer. It’s about how the enemy still tries to do today what he did in the beginning: speak lies to steal your identity, authority, and assignment.

🧠 The Enemy’s Strategy: Manipulation Through Words

In the heat of this confrontation, Angeline boldly asks the Demon Master:

“What do you want, Demon Master? Revenge? To rule our world because we liberated yours?”

This isn’t just dialogue. This is discernment. Angeline names the enemy’s motive before he even speaks it out loud.

And how does the Demon Master respond? He doesn't attack immediately. He plays mind games. He mocks. He manipulates. He speaks just enough to plant confusion and mistrust. His message?

"You didn’t tell her…did you?"

Satan’s oldest strategy has always been to twist truth and stir division. In the garden, he asked Eve, “Did God really say…?” (Genesis 3:1). In the wilderness, he tried to tempt Jesus with misquoted Scripture (Matthew 4:6). In this chapter, he tries to drive a wedge between Angelo and Angeline by hinting at a secret that hasn’t been shared.

But notice how Wiseman J steps in swiftly:

“Don’t listen to that devil. He’s a manipulator and a trickster.”

🙌🏾 Sometimes, your greatest defense is not responding to the lie—it's rebuking the liar.

⚔️ Declarations of Truth Over Evil Speech

🗣️ Speak these aloud:

• “I cancel every lie the enemy has spoken over me in Jesus’ name.”

  
  

• “I will not be manipulated. I walk in discernment, power, and truth.”

  
  

• “No evil word spoken against me shall prosper.” (Isaiah 54:17)

💥 The Power of Sacrificial Authority: Angelo’s Pain, God’s Glory

When the spears pierce Angelo’s body—three of them, through his stomach—it mirrors a Christ-like moment of intercession and suffering. He bleeds. He weakens. And yet, from within his wounded body comes a supernatural weapon: the very spears meant to kill him become the vortex of victory.

This is spiritual metaphor come alive.

“Stay…back. Drop…shield…when…I…say…so.”

Even in agony, Angelo leads. Even pierced, he protects. That’s what spiritual maturity looks like—not the absence of pain, but the ability to obey and operate under pressure.

Paul said it best in 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 (NLT):

“We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair… Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.”

🗡️ The spears became more than weapons. They became conduits of God’s glory.

🌪️ The Wind of the Spirit, the Vortex of Victory

As the vortex forms and the demons are swept away, we are reminded of the power of divine intervention.

“The demon soldiers were pulled into the glowing, white vortex… and were instantly destroyed.”

Let’s be clear: this wasn’t magic. This was miraculous. The same Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead (Romans 8:11) empowered Angelo’s broken body to become the instrument of Heaven.

💨 The Spirit of God has always been associated with wind:

• In Genesis, God breathes into Adam.

  
  

• In Acts 2, the Holy Spirit arrives with a sound like a mighty rushing wind.

  
  

• In Ezekiel 37, the winds bring life back to dry bones.

This moment in S.O.L.A.D.™ is a call to believers to stop fearing the storm and start becoming the wind.

✨ Divine Explosions and Sealed Hellholes

After the vortex, spears fly to seal off the hellholes—each glowing, each spinning like blades of deliverance. And then comes the sound:

“A loud clap came from above that echoed through the air and sounded like thunder.”

That thunderclap is heaven’s applause. It’s divine finality. It reminds us of Psalm 29:3:

“The voice of the Lord echoes above the sea. The God of glory thunders. The Lord thunders over the mighty sea.”

🧨 Every time you stand firm against evil, Heaven responds with force. When God fights for you, hell trembles.

🚨 Don't Ignore the Taunt—Use It as Fuel

Even after all this, the Demon Master returns with more threats. He speaks fear. He projects destruction. He declares:

“I’m going to take away everything that is important to you.”

But let’s be clear: The enemy always overplays his hand.

He wants to scare you into silence. But your silence is his victory. Instead, turn his threats into testimony.

🎤 Remember Revelation 12:11:

“They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…”

Use your scars as swords. Use your testimony as a torch. Use every taunt as a target for prayer.

🛡️ When Hell Rises, So Must the Heroes

Even after the final explosion, the danger isn’t over. Screams and attacks resume behind the buildings. And instead of retreating, Angelo says:

“We’re doing this together. I’ll be fine… we have to stop the Demon Master before he turns our world into Dark Earth.”

💥 THAT is spiritual grit.

It reminds us of Nehemiah 6:11 when the enemy told Nehemiah to hide in fear and stop building the wall:

“Should a man like me run away?”

NO. We rise. We go back into battle. Not because we feel strong—but because we’ve been strengthened by Heaven.

✝️ More Scriptures for the Fight

• Ephesians 6:11-12 – “Put on the full armor of God… for we wrestle not against flesh and blood…”

  
  

• Isaiah 41:10 – “Do not fear, for I am with you… I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

  
  

• Romans 8:37 – “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”

🔥 Tony’s Soldiers of Light Declarations™

Declare these daily:

• “I don’t just survive—I thrive in spiritual battle.”

  
  

• “No weapon formed against me shall prosper—and even the ones that hit me will not destroy me.”

  
  

• “God fights for me. I do not flinch in the face of evil.”

  
  

• “What the enemy meant for harm, God will turn for glory.” (Genesis 50:20)

💡 Final Reflections: Rise as the Redeemed

In Chapter 3 of Book II, we see not just the might of demons, but the greater might of destiny. We see how evil speaks—but is silenced. How the wounded rise—and still war. How supernatural power meets human obedience.

This story is yours too.

Satan still speaks evil over this generation—whispers of fear, failure, shame, regret. But like Angelo and Angeline, like Jeff and Wiseman J, you were sent into this world for such a time as this.

You were called to silence darkness. You were anointed to speak light. You were chosen to rise, fight, and win.

🙏🏾 Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father,Thank You for the courage to stand against the words of the enemy. Help us discern the lies that seek to destroy us. May our ears be tuned to Your truth and not the taunts of hell. Empower us to fight like Angelo—broken but brave, bleeding but bold, tired but triumphant. When the spears of life wound us, use them to build victory. Use us, Lord, for Your glory. Let the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen.
