Repairing The Windows Of One's Soul

This past week I ran across a list of “spirits that are not of God". As I went through the list, I realized that these are things we all need to be working to eliminate from our lives, so I began to incorporate these specific things into my regular prayer time, on my own behalf, and on behalf of my family and loved ones, and for the whole world.
As it happened, a friend of mine was going through a difficult period, so I covered him with the Blood of the Lamb and commanded Satan, and all of his evil cohort to leave him, specifically identifying and naming each demonic spirit on that list, banishing them, through the power and authority of God, back to hell where they belonged as he was child of the Most High!
The next morning, I awoke to a dream:
I walked into my home, and there were flies and locusts swarming everywhere! My children kept trying to come in and enjoy the house, but the flies would drive them right back out. I'm walking around the room thinking, "This is ridiculous! We can't live in a house full of flies!" I looked through the door, and everyone I loved was standing outside looking in, wide-eyed, watching and waiting to see what I was going to do. No one else was brave enough to do anything but cower in the corner. "Cowards! I thought to myself. What are you going to do stay out their forever? Someone's got to do something! So I grabbed a can of Insect Repellent, covered my nose and ran through the room with the fumes blasting everywhere. Trying not breath, I made a mad dash for the windows because that's where they come in, and I wanted to get the ledges. How disgusting! The ledges were crawling with dead flies, and locusts! Some of them were bigger than others. One of them was four inches long! Aaghhh! I doused the window ledge with insecticide till they were all dead, even the big one. The flies were dead. The cock roaches were on their last legs. The locust was wriggling, but on its way out.
I paused to assess the damage. The windows are broken. There's torn plastic that's been stapled over the broken glass, but it's blowing in the wind, completely worthless. Obviously the windows have to be properly repaired or they'll just come right back in. Dang Nab it anyway! I am so tired of fixing broken houses! Why can't the house just stay fixed! Why do they have to keep breaking the windows anyway? Don't they have any respect for how much work this is to have to keep fixing these windows over and over? So I walked over to the children‘s father, and explained to him that the kids had broken the windows again, and I was exhausted from trying to fix them, only to find them broken again.
He said, "Teach my son to repair the windows."
I looked at him and considered that this was going to be a job that would take a lot of time. He said, "Take a Saturday, so you'll have the entire day and plenty of time to pull out the table saw. Have him work beside you, showing him step by step how to build a new window frame."
Interpretation: Okay (laugh).
The flies and locusts are obviously demonic spirits. The windows represent the sins that have allowed these spirits to enter the house, or one's soul.
Cowards! No one wanted to deal with the flies, (demonic spirits manifesting themselves as bad behavior) so they all left. But that didn’t solve the problem! The house was still full of flies! No one wants to deal with a person who’s bad behavior makes them difficult to be around, so they generally leave the relationship........but that doesn’t help the individual who’s soul is still infested with demonic spirits. You’ve got to get rid of them! That takes prayer.
I went to talk to the children’s father. (I brought the issue to God the Father in prayer) . The insecticide represents the authority we are given to slay these spirits and send them back to hell through the power of prayer. Unfortunately, the windows were still broken, meaning, there was still unconfessed sin in his life, and unless I wanted to keep running through the house with a can of raid in my hand, (exhausting myself in prayer each time these spirits returned), the windows were going to have to be repaired. As I was not the one who had broken the windows, (it was not my sin) I needed to teach "my son" (God's child), how to repair the windows (of his soul) so that he would have some incentive not to keep breaking them, (Gods commandments/laws) as indeed, cleansing one’s soul is a great deal of work. I was to teach him (by my example) in working with him (repairing my own soul) side by side, (next to him), and in this way showing him how to repair/restore his own soul.
Once he had learned to confess the sins in his life that were keeping the windows open, the demonic spirits would no longer be able to re-enter.
