I Am Having A Spiritual Problem

[Erie79]

Hi,

Just like the title says, I am having a spiritual problem. I have a thread on here already talking about being attacked by a demon shortly before my Baptism two years ago. For a long time, I have felt the presence of evil. I have literally felt the hair stand up on the back of my neck and felt fear and uneasiness. I think I see things out of the corner of my eye only to see nothing. I have felt at times, a saturating presence of evil. I have also felt the presence of God and his protection. I have also had visions sparing my life and the lives of my kids. But I digress...I want to talk about what happened last night.

Last night was an ordinary night. I was in bed saying prayers around 11pm when I heard something slam into my bedroom door. The sound was very loud and I jumped up. My husband seemed not to hear it, he was in a deep sleep. I looked over at my door and it was closed over but not shut-just how I left it. I woke my husband up and we checked on the kids and looked around the house. I even checked my pantry in case something could have fallen. There was no evidence of anyone trying to break-in. My kids had not woken up.

I heard it right outside the bedroom door while I was praying. I was praying about being a "backslider" and apologizing for creating a distance between me and God. If something crashed into my door like that, it would have opened!

This morning, I wanted to talk about it. I texted my husband my thoughts about what happened and the response I received was, "I hear ya." He doesn't believe me and I know it sounds crazy. I called my mother and she seemed unconvinced at first and then told me to pray about it. As I was talking to her about it, a stack of papers fell from my desk and landed at my feet. I felt uneasy.

My friend thinks that either me or my husband gave a demon a legal right to torment me. She told me to pray and ask God to reveal to me the cause.
I purged my home of anything I felt was related to the occult(I did feel the Holy Spirit guiding me then) and renounced it. I repented for past sins. I don't know what I could have done and why an evil spirit is so attracted to me and trying to scare me and bring harm? For what it's worth, I have been struggling with depression and a lot of stress for many months.

Does anyone have any insight for me?

Does anyone have any insight for me?

As a born again Christian you have unparalleled power against the enemy. It comes straight out of Heaven.
Luke 10:19

As a born again Christian we are seated with Christ Jesus in Heavenly Places far above all principalities and powers.
Eph 2:6. Eph 1:19-22

So now you know that you have the power.
You also know that your power comes from Christ and that you are seated with Him in Heavenly Places spiritually far above the the devil and his demons.

Now exercise that power over the demons in your house and command them to leave in Jesus Name!!! You will have to do this multiple times during the day and every day till they leave.

Ask our Father in Jesus Name to send ministering angels to do battle against the enemy in your house. Heb 1:14

Sing the old hymns about "There is Power In The Blood" and "Nothing but the Blood of Jesus" in your house when your alone and when people are there you can whisper the songs.
If you can, get the Bible on CD and play it in your house. Play the Book of Mark. You can turn down the volume to where you can barely hear it. Demons have no problems in hearing.

Demons are terribly stubborn and you gotta keep on them to get rid of them. They are like cockroaches.

The devil can mess with your mind, will and emotions. You have to stay immersed in prayer and Bible reading and fast a few days during the week.

Do not be afraid, that's what the devil thrives on. Get mean with the devil and he'll be thinking twice.

Learn the Commandments of Jesus.

And learn how to obey them everyday in your life.

This is vital. As long as you obey God's law, Satan has no dominion over you. If you break His law, He cannot protect you. This goes for your husband too, because you are now one in spirit. So you need to concentrate on knowing God's law and obeying it, then the enemy will have no right to bother you and you will be filled with the joy of Christ.

Erie,

It sounds like you've done the putting away and renouncing that you needed to do. Now understand your authority in Christ. Jesus has been given "all" authority, and "therefore" sends us into the world (Mt 28.18-19), with power over the adversary (Mk 16.17-18). We walk in all the delegated authority of Christ that we need in any situation. This is why James says that when we resist the devil he will flee. The enemy knows the score, and his greatest nightmare is a Christian who knows his precious-blood-bought exalted position in Christ.

Ephesians 1 says that the enemy has been placed under Christ's feet, but then it immediately identifies us as the Body of Christ. That makes us the very feet that the adversary is under! And Eph 6 tells us to raise the shield of faith, to quench the enemy's fiery darts.

Raise that shield of faith. Stand firm and do not yield an inch to the enemy, not for a moment. You can rest in the authority you have been given. Let the peace of Christ reign in your heart. It is in abiding in Christ that we are in the place of immunity. The enemy has already been made an open show of; we do not need to fear him.

Does anyone have any insight for me?

Yes, ignored it. The enemy attempts to remain valid, but know this. God did not give you a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a sound mind. Intimidation is for the weak and, through Christ Jesus, you are not made to be weak. So, whenever something alarming happens again, quickly follow it up with the following (out loud and/or in your mind):

"Although I was momentarily startled (or confused, or worried, or whatever), God has not given me a spirit of fear; but of power, of love, and of a sound mind. Through Christ Jesus, I'm believing God."

The actual verse is found in 2nd Timothy 1:7. Please memorize it so your heart can have instant recall whenever you're alarmed.

Another good chapter to memorize (if you haven't) is the 23rd Psalms. It is the long-recommended chapter whenever someone feels afraid or anxious.

 

[Sabbath-Keeper777]

My first house was formerly occupied by witches who had made a demon summoning portal in the living room, so I know what you mean about constantly seeing things at the corner of your eyes or sensing an evil presence. Aside from past history where you live, here are some helpful things you can do:

1) Renounce all occult involvement. This includes astrology, tarot, numerology, yoga, witchcraft, etc.
2) Get rid of books, items, and charms on these subjects. If you have been given gifts from someone that are bound to evil in any way it gives them access to you.
3) Repent on behalf of your ancestors, seek cleansing of generational curses, go all the way back to Adam if you need to.
4) Stop sinning. Sexual sins especially may bring about an evil presence.
5) Buy some holy oil, bless it in the name of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Consecrate yourself and your house in their name, dab a little here and there, on windows, doors, outside and inside. Make it all legally belong to Jesus
6) Cast out wicked spirits and bind them to the abyss by the name and blood of Christ.
7) It may help to attend a local deliverance ministry.
8) If none of the above is helping, Fast and pray. There are some demons that will only leave this way.
9) As for being a backslider. Maybe your flesh was given over to satan so that you would come to your senses and your soul be saved.

I also recommend buying and reading the book called "The bondage breaker" for help in this area. It's a very detailed book about a Christian's walk against the forces of evil. Chances are your local church will give you one if you tell one of the pastors you are having trouble in this area.

These are all great suggestions. We have to practice spiritual warfare. I went through something similar once. The church I attend does hands on prayer, and they prayed for me one night. I wasn't bothered again with that particular problem. So I would definitely try to contact a deliverance ministry or something similar. In the meantime, keep praying and rebuking Satan/anyone or anything working for him. You are a child of God.

Sabbath Keeper I am going to try to get a copy of the book you mentioned. It sounds interesting.

What kind of baptism did you go through, water or Holy Spirit or did both happen at the same time?

Before I got baptized in either, I was facing so much spiritual opposition too. My church requires people to go through a 2 day class before getting baptized. The pastor and his wife on the second day said there was a large bull skull at the end of their driveway. We don't have bulls where we live. They just thought it was odd but I just know that it was the work of Satan.

My church also requires us to have a 'mentor'. One night I had to meet her, I ended up getting pulled over for a ride program and getting fined a 110 for not having proper stickers on my plate. I had no idea I didn't have proper stickers and it turns out I was driving around like that for 6 months and just happened to get in trouble for it that night. I was late for our meeting and discouraged but still made it. Something very strange happened to me at that meeting but I won't go into it right now.

Soon after that I learned about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, but not from my church. When I received the baptism, Jesus delivered me from 'something' and I hadn't even known I needed deliverance. I received the gift of tongues. After that the spiritual opposition was even worse. Satan was using my husband against me. There was such a darkness that could be felt it my own home. I rebuked Satan daily, prayed the prayer of faith for the husband constantly. All I can say is there are signs of progress, praise God.

Forget about it.

If Jesus said it is "Finished". Then the curse is lifted. Understand "F-I-N-I-S-H-E-D."

The dark-side whats you to play their dumb games. Game Over.

Don't play the foolish rituals with them. They want your reaction and they sense fear.

Just ignore them. They will soon go away. They always do.

So who is surprised that they act the way they do, it's in their nature. Are not they acting

how they are supposed to act. Yes of course, Game Over.

 

[GaryLee]

The problem is not with you, it is with them. They lost the Game. Remind the spirits
that they lost and go bother someone else, They only bother creation that is a threat
to them.
