Lazy spirit, be gone!

I remember, when I was younger, hearing older people - women - talking about spirits and people having a _______ spirit in them or in their homes when shit was going on and thinking WTF are you talking about? Why everything gotta be about a spirit? Them bitches just _______, that's it LOL. But I'll be damned if I don't subscribe to that shit now as an adult.

I think the first time I realized it was a year or two before I relocated. I just had this.... laziness to me every time I walked through the door. I'd be at work thinking about all the stuff I was gonna do when I got home and just an hour later when I arrived, I'd put everything down, take everything off, shower and that would be all she wrote. I'd sit my ass on that far right couch cushion and barely get up again until it was time to go to bed. We ordered more takeout in that period than probably ever cause I just was not trying to cook. It got to the point that I started to get mad about it. I'd look around and see shit that needed to be done or get upset with the midgets microwaving shit for the fourth night in a row, but could not motivate myself to tend to it. Watching TV, I'd go "okay, Ima get up on the next commercial."

Um..... yeah. Never happened.

Then one night I was so annoyed by it, I wanted to cry. I just could not understand why I wasn't able to function. Lost for another course of action, I just incorporated it into my prayers. Lord, I don't know what this is that's in me or in this house, some lazy spirit sucking up my motivation or whatever, but please take it away. "I rebuke this lazy spirit in the name of Jesus" - I think I'd heard that somewhere before LOL. Lo and behold, a couple of days later, I was cleaning and cooking and everything else. Since then I've had to pray off a couple different spirits - the cursing spirit, the lusting spirit, the damn liquor spirit... anything I felt was consuming me and taking me to a point where I felt I couldn't control it, I prayed it off. This is all coming back to me now because that lazy spirit reappeared in recent months and I got my life together this past weekend. That shit will make you feel like you're depressed but if you take note of how you feel and think at different points of the day, when you're in different places, you'll be able to pinpoint when it sets in. Now everybody has those days or weeks when they get home and they just cant do it. That's natural. But when its every day over an extended period of time - weeks, months - there may be another explanation. Even if its not a spirit, when has prayer every hurt a situation? Never that I know of. The way I see it, you don't have anything to lose. After all, if you ask that it be banished in the name of Jesus, it HAS to leave - or so I am told. Hey, it's worked for me...
