Fridays Are For The Lord w/ Ed Mabrie
Published 4 weeks ago
Description
What happens to the mind and spirit in the moments between waking and sleep? In this episode of Fridays Are for the Lord, Ed Mabrie of Faith By Reason joins the Nephilim Death Squad crew for a wide-ranging discussion about spiritual warfare, sleep paralysis, nighttime anxiety, brainwave frequencies, prayer, generational blessings, and forgiveness.
Ed explains why he believes spiritual attacks often intensify when people are falling asleep, waking up, or experiencing the vulnerable mental state associated with dreams. The conversation explores the conscious and unconscious mind, alpha, beta, theta, and delta states, the “veil” between the physical and spiritual realms, 3 A.M. awakenings, night terrors, and whether tools commonly associated with binaural beats or New Age spirituality can be redirected toward biblical meditation, Scripture, and spiritual preparedness.
The discussion then turns to morning routines, social media overload, intrusive thoughts, fear, and anxiety. The hosts examine how Christians can distinguish ordinary stress from a spiritual attack, take every thought captive in Christ, pray repeatedly without falling into vain repetition, and approach God honestly as a Father. They reference the Psalms of David, the Sermon on the Mount, the Pharisees, biblical fasting, authentic prayer, and the danger of performative religion.
Later, Ed and the crew debate whether prayer has a transactional or judicial dimension. They discuss Genesis, God’s rest, David and Solomon, Jesus praying for future believers, salvation by grace through faith, heavenly rewards, obedience, praying “in Jesus’ name,” and the difference between salvation and reward. The episode also examines generational blessings through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Esau, and the twelve tribes of Israel, along with spiritual inheritance, generational curses, and leaving children more than material wealth.
The conversation closes with forgiveness and gratitude as offensive spiritual warfare. Forgiveness is presented not as approving evil, but as refusing personal vengeance and turning judgment over to God.
What do you believe happens spiritually during sleep? Can biblical prayer, gratitude, and forgiveness change the way Christians confront spiritual attacks? Share your perspective in the comments.
