You are not imagining it, and you are not alone. Derek M. Hubbard opens the spiritual warfare wisdom of the Ethiopian Bible — the Book of Enoch, the three books of Meqabyan, and the Book of Jubilees — in clear modern English, with protection prayers, a 21-day programme, and sober, safe guidance on deliverance.

If you have ever felt a heaviness in your home that you could not explain, or woken at three in the morning gripped by dread, or sensed that something was working against you and your family, then Ethiopian Bible: Spiritual Warfare Manual — Meqabyan, Enoch Teachings on Fighting Darkness, Protection Prayers, Deliverance is the book you have been waiting for, because Derek M. Hubbard takes the spiritual warfare wisdom preserved in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church — one of the oldest Christian churches on earth, which kept whole books that the Western world lost, including the Book of Enoch, which the Epistle of Jude quotes directly, the three books of Meqabyan, found in no other Bible, which tell of ordinary believers who refused to bow to idols under a cruel king and who stood firm when everything was taken from them, and the Book of Jubilees, which records a remarkable exchange between Noah and the Lord about how evil spirits are restrained — and opens them in clear, modern English for ordinary readers, and the book begins by grounding you in the story of how these books survived, because understanding where they come from will change how you read them, and Hubbard, writing as a respectful guest in the Ethiopian tradition rather than its spokesman, explains how Christianity reached the kingdom of Aksum in the fourth century, how the Scriptures were translated into the ancient language of Ge'ez, how the Ethiopian Church kept reading these books while others argued over whether they belonged in the Bible at all, and how James Bruce brought the complete Book of Enoch back to Europe in 1773 after more than a thousand years in which the Western world had forgotten it existed, and then the book moves into its heart: a clear, sober, practical guide to spiritual warfare that refuses to feed fear and instead equips you to stand, and in Part One you will learn where darkness came from according to the Book of Enoch — the Watchers who descended on Mount Hermon, bound themselves with an oath, taught forbidden knowledge including weapons, cosmetics, spells and astrology, and fathered the giants — and how darkness works today through deception, accusation, idolatry, fear, isolation and division, with the six tactics the enemy relies on and how to spot each one before it takes hold, and you will meet the Meqabyan martyrs, three brothers from the tribe of Benjamin who refused to bow to an idol-worshipping king, who were burned for their faith, and whose story — told nowhere else in the world — will give you courage when you feel outnumbered; and in Part Two you will prepare for the fight by learning about the armour you already have, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit and the name of Jesus, and about the angels who stand with you, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Phanuel and the holy ones Enoch saw, and about repentance as a weapon, drawing on the story of Meqabis of Moab, the destroyer who wept in a pit and became the father of martyrs, and about fasting, prostration and the Ethiopian rhythm of prayer, with seven times of prayer, prostrations, holy water, and the Psalms as a daily weapon; and then Part Three gives you a complete 21-day spiritual warfare programme, taking twenty to thirty minutes a day, with a short reading, a focus, a prayer and one practical task for each day, beginning with Week One: Clearing the Ground, where you will choose whom you will serve, bring everything into the light, renounce forbidden knowledge, confess and turn, forgive, clear your home, and rest, then Week Two: Standing Your Ground, where you will put on the armour, sharpen the sword, face your fear, silence the accuser, open your eyes, fast and pray, and stand together, and then Week Three: Taking Back What Was Stolen, where you will stand in the gap for your family line, bless your home, heal wounded places, restore relationships, reclaim your purpose, give yourself away, and declare the victory; and Part Four gives you an entire armoury of protection prayers and deliverance, with a complete daily cycle of prayers for morning, evening and night, including prayers for travel, before work, at three o'clock, for a room that feels heavy, over a sleeping child, and for waking afraid in the night, and then guidance on guarding your home, your children and your family, with prayers to dedicate a home, bless each room, pray for children at every stage, and protect your marriage, and then a careful, honest chapter on breaking curses, unhealthy bonds and family patterns, explaining what Scripture really says about curses, how to break their power, and how to stop old patterns repeating, and then a sober, safe and scriptural approach to deliverance, explaining what deliverance is, when it is needed, how to tell spiritual oppression from illness, how to seek help without being harmed, and the warning signs of an unhealthy ministry, and then a chapter on fear, nightmares and attacks in the night, with a four-week plan for taking back your nights and prayers for after a nightmare, during sleep paralysis, and for a frightened child; and finally Part Five helps you live free, with a chapter on keeping the doors shut, including daily habits, warning signs and wise companions that keep freedom from slipping away, a monthly self-check, and a prayer to keep free, and a closing chapter on when the battle feels long, drawing on the endurance of Enoch and the hope of the resurrection, with a prayer for the long battle; and the book also includes a quick-find prayer index listing every prayer by need, a glossary of Ethiopian and biblical terms like Aksum, Ge'ez, Mastema, Meqabyan, Watchers, and Tsebel, sources and further reading, and a letter to you, and throughout the book Hubbard is honest about the difficult questions, explaining that spiritual struggle is real but so are depression, anxiety, trauma, psychosis, addiction and physical illness, and insisting that prayer and medical care are not rivals, and this book will never ask you to choose between them, and whether you are a Christian who has been praying for years and feels something is wrong, a parent worried about your children, a person who has dabbled in the occult and wants freedom, someone who wakes at three in the morning with dread, or simply someone who senses that there is more to this world than what you can see, this manual will give you the understanding, the prayers and the practical steps you need to stand firm, to protect your home and family, and to live in the freedom Christ has already won, because the Watchers are bound, the accuser has been thrown down, and the darkness, however real, is already defeated.
1 Enoch 1:8 (trans. R. H. Charles): “But with the righteous He will make peace, and will protect the elect, and mercy shall be upon them.”

Derek M. Hubbard writes about Scripture, prayer and the practical Christian life, with a particular love for the ancient texts preserved by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. For many years he has studied the Book of Enoch, Jubilees and the books of Meqabyan alongside the wider Bible, and has spent much of that time listening to and praying with ordinary people facing spiritual struggle, fear and loss. His approach is sober and pastoral: he takes the spiritual battle seriously, refuses to feed fear, and always points readers back to Christ, to their local church, and, where needed, to their doctor. He writes in plain British English for readers of every Christian background. He can usually be found with a Bible, a notebook and a cup of tea going cold beside him.
