spirits

[physicist]

Sorry for the length of this post but i need some feed back.recently alot of weird things have been happening to me and my friends...first one of my closest friends has been seeing demons and other spirits. Lately she has seen her cousin's spirit and me and the rest of my friends spirits'. Also I've been hearing things in my head...it's not like I'm thinking to myself. The voices tell me stuff like "I'm going to kill you", "Why do you fight me?", or even "We're going to win. So why do you try?". This started about two months ago, I told my friends about it and they told me similar things have been happening to them as well. Another one of my friends had a dream that Jesus was protecting him from demons, but the demons beat Jesus, and killed both of them. While my friends and I talked about the different events we deduced that the voices were probably demons.

Now I have been able to talk back to the demons and command them to leave me alone. Also my friends have been going through alot of spiritual warfare. Especially the one who sees spirits. We all have been trying to get closer to God each day. About two weeks ago due to some circumstances I had not been in close touch with God. But the voices went away. But in the last two to three days I have really tried to get back to God, and the voices came back. Last night I poured my heart out to God in a rap about how i felt and how I was sorry for my sins and how I wanted to be back with him. After I did this I felt liberated and I heard God told me that he forgave me and he, but this morning the voices came back, and they were angry.

I usually txt my friends about this type of stuff but I have found people on the web, who also del with some similar things that I have. I just wanted to see what you guys thought. Please if nothing like this has ever happened to you, keep an open mind....Last thing this isnt the only thing that has happened to me and my friends, lots of other supernatural things have happened, but I dont think that anyone will believe the other things...but please leave your advice and thoughts

When i was younger i had similar experiences as you. When I was about 4 I would wake up a lot during the night and my mother would always ask me "what was it", and i would always say i saw demons, and then she asked me "If you saw demons what were there names", and without fail i would always say 'They are Legion for they are many". This is what shocked my mother because our household was pretty non-religious and i had never even heard the Bible read to me, and i hadn't been taken to mass since I was a baby. So finally she broke down and called my great grandmother who gave me a medal of Saint Benedict (who is famous for casting out demons) and always told me to say this prayer before i sleep.

O My God, I adore Thee and I love Thee with all my heart. I thank Thee for having created me, for having made me a Catholic and for having watched over me this day. Pardon me for the evil I have done this day; and if I have done any good, deign to accept it. Watch over me while I take my rest and deliver me from danger. May Thy grace be always with me. Amen.

Of course you can replace Catholic with Christian if you want to pray this prayer.

To this very day i still wear the medal of Saint Benedict she gave me, and the only time i take it off is to shower.

thanks for the advice but the voices come when I try to get closer to God. Whenever I'm close to God or just trying to be good the voices chime in and yell at me for being good...i cant get rid of them permanently either... I've prayed about it but the voices are still there

Demons only attack us when we're slipping out of their hands. Try getting a Crucifix (or Cross) and put it in the room where you sleep. Really I could help more, but the only suggestions i have are Catholic ones which you probably won't want to try.

Hey, I have had many spiritual battles before ever since doing a seance. Only recently have I been free'd from it, Praise God. May I ask have you and your friends ever involved yourself in forms of occult? Or witchcraft or consulting a mediator of spirits or anything like that to open a door to them?

I won't be able to reply till tommorow for I have to go to bed for college, but I recommend grabbing your bible and reading Psalms 23 aloud

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

This always helped me along with prayer. I also recommend playing Christian music aloud if you can. I'll paste a few I used:

YouTube - Our God is Greater - Chris Tomlin

YouTube - You Lifted Me Out - Chris Tomlin [Hello Love]

Goodnight, and Godbless, I will pray for you! Remember seek refuge in the Lord.

SantoSubito, I do not mean this in an offensive way, but I ask simply if you are catholic why are you signed up to a Christian website? And have your spiritual status as Christian?

 

[physicist]

@Everlastingchange no we havent. we all grew up in the church and dont want to get invloved in occults or anything of that matter.

the cross is a good idea...but we've already had our house blessed and i deal with the demons everywhere not just at home when i sleep.

Um, because Catholics are Christians. As one Catholic writer said (who's name i cannot recall) "Christian is my given name and Catholic is my surname"

Try wearing a cross as well. Holy images (we Catholics call them sacramentals) drive away demons. Additionally you can try making the Sign of the Cross (I don't think theres anything Protestants would find objectionable about it) when the demons come.

 

[physicist]

I'll try that and im not protestant im non-denominational

Since when were Christians and Catholics the same thing? lol. If they were the same things they wouldn't have two different names. Your deceiving yourself and others if you think that I'm afraid.

oh gosh here we go again...

well if catholics are christians then I guess us protestants arent either. I mean neither catholic nor protestant is close to the word christian. And baptists, methodist, presbyterians, not to mention lutherans, episcopalians, and orthodoxws too. none of those spell christian either. And they all disagree about something with another gorup. Oh no when we will ever know who is right?

Oh I have an idea. Lets just bash everyone we disagree with and question their relationship with jesus even though we only know them as a screen name in a forum! That sounds like an amazingly unbigoted and christian way to go about things.

In shorter terms, EverlastingChange...who are you to tell one person whether or not they have a walk with god? You need to examine yourself.

By the way Im baptist, guess im probably wrong too...

 

[EverlastingChange]

Nowhere in the word of God does it say Catholics and Christians equal to the same thing. Never did you here Jesus saying "I am the truth, the way and the light, and oh btw catholics are cool too". So of course I disagree with what he said. He's saying I and he have the same beliefs, I haven't got time to get into this just now. I'll reply later tonight after college.

well...ummmm...ok remember now guys this isnt the "debate about how christian other christians are" thread lol...but seriousy if you have advice pls post it if u have an argument pls start a new thread or PM the person. And EverlastingChange if you dont think his suggestions are "christian" enough then why dont you come up with a better one?..no disrespect im just sayin.

God planned everything before creation so what you're experiencing was planned by God. Everyone was born in a corrupt flesh with DNA that contain genetic sin traits that will deceive them in many different ways. God did this so when he works with his chosen ones like the prophets, Jesus and us saints that we have nothing to boast about. We never make a decision in the will of God and we learn that he's in total control of all things.

I had to struggle with alcoholism, smoking cigarettes, lust and money problems. I also had many demonic visions and voices in my mind, even after God removed my alcoholism and tobacco habit. These demonic voices come from our genetic sin traits that give power to deceive our thoughts so it's our own flesh that is called Satan. Satan is just a name used to identify the flesh that's separated from the spirit of God. We were all created in his spirit, not the flesh.

If this demonic activity is causing harm to yourself or others, it's possible you might have bipolar depression or some other mental disorder that can be helped with drugs. They don't cure the problem but they can control the symptoms.

It sounds to me like this is some temporary demonic activities that will stop after a while but just remember this, some people have conditions than never go away. Every day, there are many children starving to death throughout the world. There are many dying of cancer and other diseases and of course, accidently.

God planned for all things to happen so we're in good hands. All flesh must perish during this age so we can get new immortal bodies in paradise. We get to live in peace forever and ever in the new world so hang in there a little while longer and you'll be okay.

I never said anybody's answers weren't Christian enough. I disagreed with somebody saying Christian and Catholics are the same thing, and everybody jumped on the wagon. Seriously, am I the only person who acknowledges Catholics and Christians are definitely not the same? I'm sorry for clogging up your thread but that shocked me.

Back to your issue. Before I offer advice, what have you been doing so far to battle these demonic forces?

Im not even catholic, but seriously, they were around as the only christian church long before anyother denominations. You may not agree with them, but that doesnt negate them. I could say pentecostals aren't chrisitian either, but it doesnt mean i know what im talking about.

As far as the demon thing goes, i can honestly sya ive never noticed demonic forces trying to take me down. so maybe if you ignore htem they will go away?

Goodness brethren, I have never seen such a question; with such lost replies.
How dare the people whom claim the Name of God take His words and mix them with their own. A crucifix or a cross? What are they but symbols, idolatry; with no power.
You see no spirits, you have no visions; this is the stench of lies.
Discern you well may have, but you speak as though to lift up yourself because you feel weak and unimportant. Do not bend God's name to your warped desires, for in this their is ultimately failure and emptiness.
I tell you, listen well! You must put away such foolish things, such confusing ideas; that we as mortal men see demons everywhere... Such a thing is laughable! We are GIVEN unto our sin, we are born into an imperfect world. The cost of our journey is to but follow the straight and narrow, and in this fulfill our law of love.
Such things that people write in this place, they spurn the anger of God and take from the place of Truth those whom seek out a true answer.

I confess, you are fallen away. As long as you keep a path of confusion, mixing philosophy of man with the Holy Word, you will never find what you seek; for you will not know what to ask.

Blessed are those who come in the Name of The Lord; so what, are you afraid of, nothing has power here, nothing but Him.
Love, In Christ,

I am rather confused to what you are implying here to this young believer except from dishing out that idolatry is wrong and that a spiritual battle is "laughable". Did not Christ himself cast out many demons in the bible? Did he not grant his disciples the power to do so also ? Are not we his disciples? Does not Jesus compare Satan to a roaring lion looking for and stalking whom he may devour? Satan has his angels as does the Lord in heaven. Though we know we can overcome Satan and his minions through the Lord! Praise God.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I do not mean to cause offense with my response. But do you imply that what he is experiencing is not real?

Also "physicist" private mail me and I will offer you all that I can to help you without the distractions of others replies in this thread. Godbless.

What I wrote sir, is grounded in the Word of God. You misquote me, and take from my words, which will stand fine, a meaning entirely different. You are blind, and I do not defend myself against such callous remark. Read again what I wrote, thinking it to be veracious, and you would bring meaning from it, instead of scoffing at the Messenger.
