Let’s see what happens then!
Benjamin - that is great - a good example of "what is in you is greater than what is in the world" - also a good example of mind over matter - don't give the enemy a foothold to slip in - keep your mind on God - kick out any thought that trys to slip in - you will win the battle and be a much happier person.

Still praying for you.

Today I noticed how important music is to me. I was in the city and the battery of my mp3 player ran out. I was without music just a bit over an hour, and I could feel the difference. The spirits were definitely getting “air”, I mean that the music is kind of suffocating them.

I have about 20 gigabytes of Christian music. Mainly I listen to Hillsong, Planetshakers, Delirious?, Hillsong Kiev and hillsong covers in various languages.
And now a new acquaintance, Desperation Band. I'll have to listen to jars of clay too.

Three months ago I got out of the hospital, feeling empty of course. I remembered how good I felt when I worshiped God or listened Christian music. Then I found my old Hillsong cd. I started listening and immediately I felt this energy flowing through me, and I cried and cried and cried. Tears just streamed automatically. I felt like I entered back home. Since then I’ve been listening Hillsong and others 24/7(even nights), and purifying my thoughts. I have to say, I’ve never been this happy, I’m all scarred, alone, exhausted, empty handed, but ALIVE!!!! Hallelujah!!

Till this day I vomit daily, and battle against spiritual attacks. The more I praise, laugh and dance, the more the devil is showing himself. I know bible says an evil spirit and the Holy Spirit cannot live in a same body in the same time, but I think my case proves otherwise. What do you think about this story and what advice can you give me. I’ve never took part in any sort of occultism or anything like that, but I’ve heard that I could have inherit the spirit from my ancestors.


Thank you for reading, God bless!

I highlighted the part that interested me the most as that exactly mirrors what happened to me some years back!

I too was Agnostic, smoked pot, and was drinking bourbon like a fish at home along with tons of beer with friends playing weekly poker and bowling. I would go thru a 5th of Jack Daniels in about 3 days.

One day I was sitting at the computer going to x-rate sites [which I did while my wife was at work and daughters at school] and suddendly, a screen appeared out of nowhere on the Holy Spirit!!

I looked at it, fell to the floor crying and the next thing I new, I went in my daughters' bedroom, grabbed her NIV Bible, and started reading it [first book I had read in over 10 yrs.]

I would read it late at night, at work on breaks and lunch, and I probably read thru it in less than a month.
My family and friends at work were rather "flabbergasted" to say the least.
That was in 2003 and I have been reading the Bible and in the Lord since. I have a lot more to say about it, but perhaps later.
