He Makes the Darkness Tremble

by Jessica Smith Art

Below is a journal entry I wrote a few years ago after a great victory against demonic attack… 

Darkness parts like the Red Sea before the name of Jesus. His name sung in praise is like a sword of piercing light that severs the darkness before us. The power of that name lays flat every principality that stands in our way.

I keep having this same vision of me singing the name of Jesus against the enemy of my soul. I’m standing in the midst of thick demonic darkness. It’s surrounding me, blocking my way, suffocating me, pressing me on every side… trying to destroy me. This darkness is the poison of fear, anxiety, demonic manifestation, spirits of witchcraft, and death. And in this vision, I stand against it with one weapon… the weapon of the name of Jesus.

As I stand there with that darkness surrounding me I sing the name of Jesus. I take my eyes off the enemy, off what he’s doing against my life, off the threats of death, off the scary faces of doom and gloom, and I put my eyes on Jesus, and I sing that name. Then the song “Tremble” comes out, and I sing that song in my own way. “Jesus, Jesus, you make the darkness tremble. Jesus, Jesus, you part the darkened sea. Jesus, Jesus, you make the darkness tremble. Jesus, Jesus, you come and rescue me.” 

And as I sing, I see what happens as I sing… I see Jesus fight my battle. I see Jesus standing before me with lightning flashing from His wounded hands. Resurrection power destroying every demon and all the darkness that had been pressing in on me, tormenting me, it begins to tremble and shake until it completely disperses in terror of my God.

  1. Love it!!
    Always known i was under attack, just recently figured out how to fight. Meghan’s (Dyed4you-as to not take away from team members) flags are a huge part of that.
    Your emails are always Divinely ordained and applicable and this a blessing to where abs how I’m battling..
    Always knew of God (the father), but didn’t know Him personally until about 20 years ago when I met Jesus… only recently come to the fullness in relationship of both as I came to a chichi that’s full of the Holy Ghost. Now I’m doing battle on a level like never before. Bc of my past n personality, my biggest battlefield my mind and the words I speak, and learning the name of Jesus is the one I must speak most. Thank you for your post!!!
    Yes and yes!!
