Not Today, Satan: Building Your Spiritual Arsenal

“Scripture is like an arsenal for us – it’s our weapon. And if we don't have it, how can the Holy Spirit bring it back to you when you need it?”

What do you do when the enemy comes in like a flood?

Join me on the podcast for a powerful conversation with prayer warrior and intercessor Linda Georgette to talk about spiritual warfare, deliverance ministry, and the life-saving power of Scripture.

From surviving a violent relationship and literal gunfire, to stepping into deliverance ministry, to building what she calls a “spiritual arsenal” of memorized Scripture, Linda shares how the Word of God became her weapon.

Below is part of our conversation, but I highly recommend listening to the whole thing! You can listen/watch on Apple, Spotify or YouTube.

Tell us a little bit about your journey with the Lord.

I’ve been walking with the Lord since I was 19. And when I got saved, I end up as a young woman, believing a guy who says he’s a Christian.

And that’s what I would really like to point out to young women, that we must be prayerful, because this guy came in my life saying he was a Christian, saying he’d go to church, saying he believed God. And I was going to church, but I never saw him going to church.

And so when I got ready to cut that relationship off, he would call my house, he would threaten me that he was gonna kill me. He would try to hide.

I was going to cosmetology school at that time, and I remember him hiding in the bushes, grabbing me, and I’m having to fight him to get him off of me.

I remember getting on the bus to go to school and he's on the bus and he's cursing and talking loud at me and the bus driver having to pull him off.

So I remember those things, but the main thing that I remember that really strikes me — and this is the reason why I love the Lord so much — is because I got invited to a friend of mine's church and I had never been there before, but I went to visit and her pastor pointed at me and said, ‘Young lady come up here.’

And me being young, I was like, mm-mm. But what happened was he had someone bring me up there and he said, ‘Satan wants you dead. But God said, he can't have you.‘

Two weeks after that, I was coming out of the house and this guy — he’s shooting at me. And I did not believe it, but he was running and shooting.

And I just thank God because it makes me think about the Scripture where it says, ‘When the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.’ And it even brings you back to Isaiah 54:17, where it says, ‘No weapon formed against you shall prosper.’

So, you know, those things I thank God for. It was a long hard journey. But in the process of me making all these police reports and things, one officer contacted me and he said to me, ‘Miss, this is not his first rodeo doing this.’ So I also found out that he had done this to several other women.

So my point to a lot of young women is to stay prayerful and to trust God, you know, because at that time, being a young Christian, I didn’t know and I didn’t have the experience.

But I thank God that He loved me so much that He would lift the standard against the enemy. And He warned me that the enemy wanted me dead. And I’m still here. So I am so thankful.

Talk a little bit about your experience in deliverance ministry and as an intercessor.

I have done an intercessory prayer for TCT Christian Television for years. I’ve done intercessory prayer for Guideposts for many years, and now I’m doing intercessory prayer from home through a radio station.

I get calls from Canada and different places in the world, and it is rewarding to be able to partner with God to bring heaven down to earth for people.

I also write prayers for people. The Lord kind of downloaded that in me years ago. And so I ended up writing prayers. I got my training through Guideposts with that.

I also do deliverance. I’ve been doing deliverance now for like four years. I have a team up [in Michigan] that I work with. So that’s part of my journey. And that’s another reason why I feel it’s important to know scriptures and to meditate on them and to have them in your heart.

I have a prayer I say: Lord, let your word be as deep upon the tablet of my heart that I might remember it when I need it. Because we never know when we’re gonna need it.

In the beginning, before I actually started doing deliverance, I had dreams that I was being attacked in my dream. And I didn’t understand what the dream was showing me, but in the dream, I knew to speak the name of Jesus and I would see this dark figure just disappear.

You know, I felt in a dream that I was being attacked. And I knew to use the name of Jesus. So I had those dreams a couple of times before Harold died. And after he died, I was able to just step right on into the deliverance.

But one time, I had a dream, and I felt that the spirit was trying to intimidate me. The spirit came in the form of a tall woman that was standing over me. And it came at me, but it couldn’t come no closer. And I felt within myself that that spirit was there to intimidate me, to try to cause fear, things of that nature.

And in the dream, I continued to quote in the name of Jesus, you know, and it left. So that morning I prayed about that dream and I prayed against the spirit of intimidation, spirit of fear, because that’s what I felt.

But when I look at it today, I looked at them as demonic attacks, but they also could have been dreams to prepare me for deliverance, you know, as that was gonna be a journey for me.

And if I had fallen into fear, I would not have been able to do deliverance. You know, because a lot of times, if you fear, those demons will just run over you.

And we’ve had people manifest at the church up there. I had one lady before I left this last time that needed prayer because she was being attacked. And as soon as I laid hands on her, she just kind of manifested. But at that time, I could not focus on her manifesting. I focused on praying.

So, you know, it’s nothing about me, but it’s God that caused that. In doing deliverance, you have to maintain humility. You have to be humble. You have to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit is gonna bring things. You’re gonna see things that you’ve never seen before.

And in the beginning, seeing some of the things and some of the manifestations at night when I would get ready to go to bed, it was like replaying in your head. And so I had to do a lot of praying.

We would always pray before and after, but, in that night season, you don’t want to be afraid to walk through your house and different things like that and the enemy playing it back in your head what you saw to try to cause fear.

So I had to learn how to pray through that and how to take 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God did not give me the spirit of fear but a power of love and of a sound mind.” I have a sound mind, you know. I have the mind of Christ. I’m seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. Those were the things that I had to declare over myself.

How would you encourage younger believers on their walk with God?

I would say to stay prayerful. And not only just prayerful, but reading the Word, meditate on scriptures, have scripture. Because Scripture is like an arsenal for us, it’s our weapon. And if we don’t have it, how can the Holy Spirit bring it back to you when you need it?

I realized that at a young age. So I’ve been meditating on scriptures for years and still do meditate on scriptures now because, in that, the Lord has showed me this is my weapon. This is how I fight my battles – with the Word of God.

For example, this morning, I was praying and I was meditating on Psalms 89:34, which says, “My covenant I will not break nor alter the words that have gone out of my lips.”

So in meditating on that, I was thanking God that He does not change. And in the process of that, Holy Spirit gave me Malachi 3:6: “I am the Lord, I change not.”

I didn’t know what that scripture was, so I had to look it up. And then I added that into Psalms 89:34 and I was thanking God that He is the Lord and that He does not change. He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever.

And that’s when Numbers 23:19 came to play, you know, that God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. Have he said and shall he not do it? Have he spoken and shall he not make it good?

So, I mean, you see, I can blurt out scripture, right? Because I have meditated. And the Bible tells us that. The Word is food, is bread, is life, okay?

And I remember some years ago, I used to meditate on Scripture a lot, and I remember some years ago, I kinda got away from it, and it happens to me, it’ll happen to anybody, you know, life changes.

And I remember the Lord saying, it’s time to build an arsenal. And I did not understand.

So the Lord would wake me up in the middle of the night and I would open up the Bible and I would be reading and all of a sudden the Holy Spirit would be like, that’s a weapon. So I would write it down.

So I had to start meditating on the scriptures. And I end up with an arsenal – weapons – you know, that I could use.

For example, Isaiah 54:17 is a weapon: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Every tongue that rises into judgment thou shall condemn for this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and his righteousness is of me says the Lord.”

Deuteronomy 33:27 says, “The eternal God is your refuge and underneath are his everlasting arms he will thrust the enemy out from before you and say destroy.”

Isaiah 59:19 says, “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.” So we have weapons.

One of the things, as an intercessor, I remember praying the 23rd psalm. And you know the part where it says, when you pass through? Okay, the Holy Spirit pointed out the word through. And I remember the Holy Spirit saying, ‘That means they’re going in, but they’re coming out.’

And so when you go through the valley of the shadow of death, you shall fear no evil. You know why? Because you are coming out. You’re in it in the beginning. But as you’re going through the trial, there’s a way. The Bible says, He always give you a way of escape.

So I tell people when I’m interceding: yes, you might be at the beginning, you could be in the middle, but remember, the word there is through. Through the valley of the shadow of death. That means you’re coming out. The Holy Spirit showed me that.

I’ve also learned that there are spiritual warfare psalms. Psalm 35 says, “Plead my cause, oh Lord, fight against them that fight against me, pull out the spirit and buckler and stand up for my cause.” I give people that scripture to pray when they are in the midst of a battle.

So, you know, we have a whole foundation. We have a book full of promises. And you know, one thing I would say, like Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.”

Let the Lord direct our path because we get in His way. A lot of times, we allow the flesh to get in the way, and we go to thinking, ‘this is the way,’ instead of saying ‘daddy.’ You know, I have a daddy in heaven that cares about everything that concerns me and pertains to me.

But we don’t think about that. What we do is from a little child, we’re taught to do things independently. So therefore we grow up to be adults and we still want to be independent, but of the Person we need most.
