“I have a German Shepherd dog, and sometimes she will bark at roaming spirits that my parents invite in, or my uncle brings with him from sexual immorality, along with other demonic manifestations. I was concerned with whether or not I need to pray covering over her, or worry about her getting possessed or retaliated on.

Furthermore, in reference to parents and family, sometimes I feel like I’m wasting my time trying to save my family and should focus on other activities such evangelising and intercession from a distance, because when I deal with them they have the habit of sucking up my time away from things I should be doing, or restricting my movements because their own fear of me tapping into things outside of their understanding or because they feel they are the parents and I should do what they say, (by the way I’m eight-teen and graduating from high school), so I need to know how to navigate them respectfully”.
