Something "EVIL" holding me down!?!?!?!?!?

To my understanding...
It is when you point out a derail, which may or may not be considered rude, or may or may not be seen as necessary. Sometimes a thread goes where it goes and a lot of things can be shared and a lot of healing can be had. Sometimes it gets way off topic and can become an argument or the like and people will try to bring things back on topic.
Most of the time if the topic branches into something healing or sweet people just continue on and let God move them or whatever and do not mention it has gotten a little askew of the topic, as life is not always in a box. As when I shared my feeling held down turned out to be a childhood memory and a couple people wanted to bless me because God moved in their hearts to be loving, kind and supportive. That would be the thread moving with compassion,IMO. Most people would not come on and point out things like that are off topic -- when the posters were being sweet.
Now, if it then went on to discuss rape and the effects of rape then someone may come on and say "derail" lets get back on topic and start another thread on "rape"
Most times someone doesn't point out the most minor of infractions as then their reminder becomes an annoying "derail" of its own.

This happens to me when I fall asleep. When you're in that light -just-closed-eyes- kind of sleep. I become really scared because I'm still half concious, so my heart starts beating fast because I know I'm getting trapped. Then I try so hard to open my eyes, but I can't and my body feels numb, I can't move a muscle. But somehow I find the strength in me to break free and I end up spazzing really badly before my eyes open. I feel like it's something holding me down as well.
What is this???

Anyone ever had this?: you've been asleep awhile and suddenly wake up and feel that you're not alone even if you are. The feeling is quite scary because I don't feel that it is something 'good' that I'm feeling...more like an unwelcome presence, danger. I feel 'paralyzed' when this happens. My eyes are open but I can't move or speak. I close them and focus on God and I end up falling asleep again and everything is apparently okay after that.

Yeah, I know that TONS of Christians on this forum have had very similar problems, but it seems like not a lot of people are really replying to this topic...

Referring to the OP:
What you had is just sleep paralysis or "night terrors". Back in the day, it was characterised by demons or witches sitting on the chest, holding one down or suffocating them. The one suffering from the episode would feel terrified, hear or see things, and be unable to move or call out for a time.
As it's been explained before, it's all because the brain hasn't connected back up with the rest of the body yet. That's all. No demons or anything like that. Sleep paralysis is very common and will probably happen to everyone at least once in their lives.
Yep. Well, scientific really. When you're just about to fall asleep, the muscles in your body begin to relax. If enough muscles relax at the same time, it creates a falling feeling, or a reflexive jerking awake. This is also a very common occurance.

There are such things as demons, curses, ancestorial, and unGodly soul ties, which are basically a host of root beginnings of sins.
An Unclean Spirit Returns
Matthew 12 :43 "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.
Matthew 12 44Then he says, "I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation."
Demons can be rooted in bitterness, unforgiveness, lust, witchraft, idolitry, greed, the list goes on.....
2 Timothy 2
25Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
2 Corinthians 11
13For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
Ephesians 6
The Whole Armor of God
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Thank you for posting this...WhiteFeather said:
I've been attacked by demons at night. I've bene held down, I've been physically attacked.. I've SEEN what has attacked me.
And even as Christians, who KNOW this is a spiritual battle, we seem to want to find a "non-spirital" explanation to the events that we cannot explain........ .......... ........ and I can't wrap my mind around the reasoning for that... ?????

I would just like to comment quick on this.
I have not had any thing hold me down, but I have had some other experiences put on to me by Satan, and brought off of me by Jesus.
(I have not grasped the whole concept of masturbation and the spirit yet, but I am working on it, so two weeks ago, I swore it off until I can find out from God for sure whether it is a sin or not.....)
But... Anyways....
The past couple of months, as I have been getting close with God, and working on my relationship with him,, I was having very scary experiences while I was masturbating. I would be thinking about a typical Prince charming one minute, and then my mind would change it into a demon that I was thinking about. I would have to stop everything, and immediately begin to pray, right there naked in bed, to make the thoughts go away. I would have to say "Jesus, please don't let my mind think these awful thoughts!" and "In Jesus' name I command you to leave me demons!" I would just get shivers down my spine and then be calm. Since these things started happening to me, I have been to afraid to touch, and it lead me to this forum to read what people posted. So... yeah, I have had some kind of evil encounters too, and God is always the answer to make them go away, but I think they happened so that God could show me that what I was doing was wrong. I think.

Okay, I know this is long but it will be worth the read.
I know this is an old thread but satan doesn't have any new tricks so I am sure it is still relevant in some one's life as it is in mine from time to time. When this first started happening many years ago I didn't know what it was, while I was asleep I would be dreaming of lying in bed and I could feel a presence walk into the room. At first I always thought it was an intruder coming in to rob or something but I could never see the person only feel them. I soon realized it wasn't there to rob my home it was interested in me.
This thing which I now know to be a spirit of satan would always climb into bed with me and wrap his arms around me and say somewhat nice things. There was just always something off about the words and the feeling. Who wants to have intercourse with an invisible being that gives you a creepy feeling no matter how sweet it is trying to be (the devil is always a deceiver). Once I realized it was one of satans minions I stopped being afraid when I would feel the presence come into my room while I slept. The next time it sidled up to me in tried to wrap its arms around me with all those sweet words I turned to the thing I couldn't see but could certainly feel and wrapped my hands around his neck and began to squeeze and plead the blood of Jesus. I immediately felt the fear in this thing it tried to run but I wouldn't let go. I continued pleading the blood and then began to praise Jesus and state he was the King of Kings and had all power. As I praised God the spirit got weaker and weaker until it dissipated. It tried to fight but it was no match for praise to God, acknowledgement of God being all powerful. I woke up laughing because I thought to myself that is what satan gets for trying to come into my sleep and deceive me.
It was a long, long time before he tried again. The next time I felt the same thing once it entered the room but this time I could see him (the feeling was still the same an ominous one) but he disguised himself as someone I knew and again the deceiver that he is tried to be nice and caring but I knew it wasn't the family member he was pretending to b. So again I grabbed it by the throat and said I know it's you satan. I said I hate you, he replied I hate you too (much venom in his voice) I said yeah well there is nothing you can do about it because I know Jesus. I should call down Angels right now to take you out. He fled after that. I again woke up laughing at his stupidity. I was already on to him so no matter how he tried to disguise himself I can feel the difference as soon as he enters the room.
The next time he tried was a long time after that, he sent a little impish type demon I could tell he wasn't very strong and I did the same grabbed him up and began to praise God and acknowledge God as King and having total authority and pleading the blood. He ran quickly, the next night I could feel they sent a stronger spirit and I did the same. It took a little bit longer but he too was defeated by the power of God.
It has been a very long time since I have had any demonic spiritual visitors in my sleep looking to deceive me only to end up in a spiritual battle that they can't win. However recently I have been going through some very emotional things and have been kind of depressed and self defeated. Really feeling a need to be loved and not mistreated or betrayed. Low and behold satan is back in my dreams. Satan by the way this is his only job to try and torment and lead you from Christ so he will never give up just wait for what he feels is his best opportunity to slide in. Truthfully all he has is time on his hands so why would he stop?
Anyway I guess he saw me with my head down for a while and said "now boys this is the crack we need!". The first time I felt him come into my room I was just like, come on I'm not in the mood for this right now I'm tired, I just want to sleep. And emotionally I am tired. I've had some things going on in my life right now that are taking me out of who I am. I'm a little depressed and unhappy, frustrated, bitter, hurt. so many negative emotions. So no I haven't been grabbing him up as soon as he shows his stupid face, it's been more of a passive resistance, light struggling to be free from the invisible hands that hold me down. When I can't get free I just begin to say satan you are a liar (no confidence or authority in my voice) and when nothing happens I then call Jesus and I wake up.
Even though I was more passive and had pretty much just said not now I'm not in the mood for this crap instead of being a fierce warrior of Christ using all the arsenals he gives us for spiritual warfare like scriptures that speak to Gods authority and praising God, declaring with absolute certainty who I am in Christ. I just wanted to be left alone. My life's circumstances did not only weaken my emotional and thought state but it also weakened my spiritual state to fight. I was physically, mentally and spiritually tired.
But here is the thing. Even with all that going on Satan still had to ask for a way in.
In the dream he was pressed against me and I again passively held him back with just my hands and said no. I wasn't in the mood for the nonsense and slightly fearful because I knew I wasn't willing to fiercely fight back. Even so he still could not do anything. He began to use that silver tongue of his again, you know that tone that weasels its way into your thoughts and makes you say okay this isn't a bad idea because even though the words are wrong they sound soothing. He just kept saying to me "I just want to a way in, I just want to a way in" and the more he said it the more soothing it sounded. It started washing over me. I felt myself beginning to want to comply.
When I awoke from this dream I was very concerned about my spiritual state. How did I get there. Why wasn't I the fierce warrior I know God can work through me to be. For days I worried about this. I didn't want to sleep because I knew at some point he would be back. I wasn't up to the fight. Two more nights he returned and I forced myself awake because I just didn't want to deal but as SOON as I would drift off to sleep there he was immediately trying to seize a weak moment. I kept snapping myself back awake and trying not to fall asleep. There was no way I was going to let satan keep me up all night. I knew I wasn't in a place to fight so I got my phone and turned on Pandora and put it on the old time gospel station. I listened to that for a few minutes turned it off and went back to sleep and slept peacefully. I just did this last night as well.
The thing I didn't realize until I started writing this post was this. Even though he started coming back, even in my weakened state, he still couldn't just do what he wanted. He came but he couldn't get in. Satan couldn't just come in and do as he pleased he flat out told me "I just want a way in". Even without words and I could feel him pushing trying to come in but he couldn't because I didn't say yes. I may not have been fiercely fighting but I still know I belong to God. He needs US to give him a way in. We are Gods children and he is powerless against God. Even in my emotional, physical, and spiritual weakened state he could not overcome the simple truth. I am a Kings kid and he protects me. I am constantly covered by the blood of Jesus.
With all that I have been going through with family lately all I want now is love, comfort, and acceptance. satan saw this as a possible way in. Nice try satan you gave yourself away. He is always just trying to find a way in. I'm not saying possession but a way in to oppress you, an get your thoughts off God and onto yourself or your current situation. A way to start you down a path that fills whatever hole you feel needs filling but isn't the right path. He and all his desires and things cannot fill an empty hole. Only Jesus can. Jesus took back all the authority and power that Adam and Eve gave away when he died on the Cross to forever cover our sins, and went to hell and defeated satan and is now on his throne to be an ever present intercessor for us to God. Satan is powerless and need US to give him a way in. Know your weak spots. For me it is wanting to feel loved and not mistreated. I want my heart soothed with caring and acceptance. He always came as a caring person offering love and devotion. DECIEVER when I called him out and told him I knew who he was he became angry that he could not deceive me I felt his anger just as I felt his fear. He told the truth, he told me he hated me. Satan HATES us!
If he shows up tonight the power and strength of God will be waiting for him just as it did before. Am I still going through negative stuff and emotions right now? Absolutely but now I see and know that satan is trying to use this point in my life as a way in. Never going to happen. All that I have I give to Christ he is the only one allowed a way in. This is why God gave us armor to cover ourselves. Underneath there may be wounds from life but satan can't poke at them because God's armor will cover them as they heal.
So if anyone out there is going through this battle in their sleep know you have already won. Don't be afraid, know who you are in Christ and use the tools God has given you to be a fierce warrior for Christ. He is all powerful, he has angels that will fight with you. Wear your armor of God so that you will be able to withstand the devil for this is not a flesh and blood battle but a spiritual one. God says even when you have done all to stand keep standing. Even if you are struggling and cannot move or speak do so with your mind. Your armor includes truth(you are Gods child, you belong to God) the breast plate of righteousness (even if you are not living right or doing something wrong, if you have accepted Christ his blood washes away all sins and if you ask for forgiveness he grants it and remembers it no more. So don't let satan usr this to make you cower. Your righteousness is through Christ as he was perfect). Feet covered in peace (when you have peace you are not afraid) the shield of faith (believe that God will come when you call because he will even if you have to scream out loud. Scream your best War Cry. Gods children marched around the gates 7 days and on the 7th time on the 7th day they yelled and screamed their war cry and the walls came down. Satan flees from a true spiritual war cry (ask me how I know
) If you cant speak do it in your mind (let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus) and never stop calling Jesus. Wear your helmet of salvation. Your head (mentally speaking right now) should be covered. Believe you are his once you turn your life over to him and accept him. Never doubt because God never loses. You have salvation do not let satan worm his words into your mind. Hold fast to your salvation for only you can give it away. Actions can never take it, satan can never take it. Wield your sword fiercely, every knee bows to the name of Jesus God's word is the FINAL authority. Slay satan with it!
The 18h verse of this powerful Ephesians 6:11-18 says to pray always, with all prayer and supplication in the spirit. Supplication means to make an appeal to someone in authority who has the power to grant a request. You have someone like that right? Of course you do God our Father and his son Jesus Christ.
I have a feeling I will be waking up laughing once again if he dares to show his stupid face in my sleep again tonight. NO matter what you are going through in life NEVER TAKE OFF YOUR ARMOR! Satan flat out told me he hates me and it's not just me he hates all mankind. Satan has already given away his plan not just for me but for everyone. He just wants a way in. There is no way past Gods armor and therefore no way in!
God bless and keep you! Praying for everyone in nightly battles with the devil.

He always came as a caring person offering love and devotion. DECIEVER when I called him out and told him I knew who he was he became angry that he could not deceive me I felt his anger just as I felt his fear. He told the truth, he told me he hated me. Satan HATES us!
If he shows up tonight the power and strength of God will be waiting for him just as it did before. Am I still going through negative stuff and emotions right now? Absolutely but now I see and know that satan is trying to use this point in my life as a way in. Never going to happen. All that I have I give to Christ he is the only one allowed a way in. This is why God gave us armor to cover ourselves. Underneath there may be wounds from life but satan can't poke at them because God's armor will cover them as they heal.
So if anyone out there is going through this battle in their sleep know you have already won. Don't be afraid, know who you are in Christ and use the tools God has given you to be a fierce warrior for Christ. He is all powerful, he has angels that will fight with you. Wear your armor of God so that you will be able to withstand the devil for this is not a flesh and blood battle but a spiritual one. God says even when you have done all to stand keep standing. Even if you are struggling and cannot move or speak do so with your mind. Your armor includes truth(you are Gods child, you belong to God) the breast plate of righteousness (even if you are not living right or doing something wrong, if you have accepted Christ his blood washes away all sins and if you ask for forgiveness he grants it and remembers it no more. So don't let satan usr this to make you cower. Your righteousness is through Christ as he was perfect). Feet covered in peace (when you have peace you are not afraid) the shield of faith (believe that God will come when you call because he will even if you have to scream out loud. Scream your best War Cry. Gods children marched around the gates 7 days and on the 7th time on the 7th day they yelled and screamed their war cry and the walls came down. Satan flees from a true spiritual war cry (ask me how I know
) If you cant speak do it in your mind (let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus) and never stop calling Jesus. Wear your helmet of salvation. Your head (mentally speaking right now) should be covered. Believe you are his once you turn your life over to him and accept him. Never doubt because God never loses. You have salvation do not let satan worm his words into your mind. Hold fast to your salvation for only you can give it away. Actions can never take it, satan can never take it. Wield your sword fiercely, every knee bows to the name of Jesus God's word is the FINAL authority. Slay satan with it!The 18h verse of this powerful Ephesians 6:11-18 says to pray always, with all prayer and supplication in the spirit. Supplication means to make an appeal to someone in authority who has the power to grant a request. You have someone like that right? Of course you do God our Father and his son Jesus Christ.
I have a feeling I will be waking up laughing once again if he dares to show his stupid face in my sleep again tonight. NO matter what you are going through in life NEVER TAKE OFF YOUR ARMOR! Satan flat out told me he hates me and it's not just me he hates all mankind. Satan has already given away his plan not just for me but for everyone. He just wants a way in. There is no way past Gods armor and therefore no way in!
God bless and keep you! Praying for everyone in nightly battles with the devil.

What's up, my fellow Christians (I'm 15 yrs. old), have you ever felt that an "evil" spirit/presence was holding you down before!!! What was weird is that when stuff like "this" happen, I can't even talk for about 30 seconds, even when my mouth is open, I can't utter a word for a while, It's like my Mouth is "sealed-shut" (closed) even though my mouth is wide open
Please post on this topic, if you've had an experience like this, or if you know what I mean... If you have had a similar experience or can offer me ADVICE, PLEASE!!!

Go to your prayer partner and after telling them what happened, pray for this oppressive spirit to be gone. Preferably doing it in the bedroom where it happens. Cast this spirit from your room, your life, your mind, and your dreams.

Thank you for making that distinction because oppression and possession. I was about to do that.

I have not personally experienced it but my wife has and she was lying right next to me when it happened. She said she could see a dark figure enter the room and she suddetly could not move and could not speak. Whatever it was lay on top her and she could not breath and the only thing she could do was gently tap my back. I'm not a heavy sleepy so I woke and turned and she said whatever it was immediately disappeared.
Lets talk about what could happen. This happened to my wife once and never again, so I was not sure exactly how to approach it. However, if this happens to you more than once then it could be something you really need to take seriously. I looked at a very indepth testimony of a man who belonged to a secret society of spirit worshipers and when he became a christian he was oppressed by the spirits who were angry at him for a period of time. What he did not know at the time though is that he had in his possession material related to the occult or belonging to people who were involved in the occult. In other words, it is possible there might be something in your room that you need to get rid of. Something that is giving these spirits access to you but the power of God is preventing them from taking your life. If you want to check out that testimony which is a very interesting watch, the name is "A Trip into the Supernatural" and you can just type that in youtube and get it.
