• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I've been hearing voices for a long time now and I'd like to find out if this is real. Almost seven years ago I had a terrifying experience on meth, which involved seeing, running from, and even kind of being possessed by demons. This experience ended with me sitting down with someone who I now think was a prophet, he asked me for an account for my life, i think on the behalf of God. I've called this experience a "street judgement". I think God condemned me to hell. I'm really scared there's nothing I can do. I hear the voices of 'society around me' in my head telling me it's true as if they are all telepathic. My parents and doctors tell me I'm schizophrenic but I think this is supernatural. Can anyone help me or offer some insight or advice?

I recall having some friends in high school who did so much acid that thought they were permanently going to keep tripping out. It only lasted a year or so tho.

In general, if you experiencing bad things because of drugs, it's a bad trip and the fear inside you holding onto the sensation because it's addictive.

My advice in general is to pray. Especially when it doesn't make sense. Because when your mind gets torn up like that under the influence of drugs, it won't make sense most of the time - more so than for other people.

However, God does not abandon anyone, Jesus died once for all - including you.

I recommend that you study God's word on the issue. Stay out of the Old Testament. There is little to encourage the condemned! It is certainly true that humanity has been condemned already. All are born dead to God, all are dead in trespass and sin. However, there is a way of escape. Focus on what the Lord Jesus has done for you and the truth will set you free.

You probably are hearing from evil spirits. They can easily invade the mind. If we do not resist them, they can lodge in our minds and manipulate our thoughts. They inject thoughts as if they were us. For sure they are not dumb enough to reveal what they are.

2 Corinthians 10:4 & 5 is a good passage to read and study. The battle for our soul is waged in the mind. Take all those lying and stray thoughts captive and make them obey Christ. If you did not choose to think a thought, it is not you. You may need deliverance. Robert Morris and Derek Prince Ministries will help you if no one else can.

Hello @Mason William, I am very sorry to hear about all that you are struggling with right now :(

As a Christian, I believe that you need to make a conscious effort to believe/trust God, and the best way to begin doing that is to decide to Him take Him at His word (moment by moment by moment during the day), no matter what your feelings, or the voices you hear, are telling you in the moment instead.

This will mean choosing to obey God concerning the diligent study of His word, so that you come to know it deeply (and thereby come to ~know~ what the truth is and what His great promises to us are, so that you'll know what to believe .. and what not to believe .. as well .. e.g. 2 Timothy 2:15, 3:16-17) :preach:

Here's both a passage and a verse from the Gospel of John that should be useful. Remember that these words come directly from the Lord Jesus to us, and that they can/should always be considered both true and trustworthy because they do :oldthumbsup::oldthumbsup:

John 3
16 “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him ~shall not perish~, but have eternal life.
17 For ~God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him~.
18 He who believes in Him ~is not judged~; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

John 5
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, ~has~ eternal life, and ~does not~ come into judgment, but ~has passed~ out of death into life."

Praying for you brother!

God bless you! (Proverbs 3:5-6; 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24)

--David

There is this short video from Pastor Swindoll that may be helpful to you too: TRUST GOD.

I was ten years old the first time I began to hear voices it lasted for about 3 or 4 years and honestly i barley remember some pieces of things that happened during that time but I specifically recall a night I was fed up and I sat in a dark room and waited for it to began I told it to stop messing with me because when God made me He made me perfect in my right mind and I had purpose it’s been 15 or 16 years since and sometimes the enemy tries to pop his ugly head up but my friend Greater is He that is in you then he that is in the world I’m praying for you . Who the sun sets free is free indeed .

Yes, if you have a diagnosis of Schizophrenia, I would go with that and take the tablets. unfortunately, the brain can go wrong and cause us to hear voices. Don't listen to people who give only spiritual activities to do. It's good to pray (talking to Jesus) and read your bible, but alongside any treatment your P doc suggests.
I experience thought broadcasting which is the belief that people can hear my thoughts, along with other cognitive and negative symptoms. Over time my symptoms seemed to have diminished. I am still a Christian, still loved by God, but just as people with diabetes need tablets or insulin, we as people with mental health difficulties usually need a little help from tablets.
All the best. Anx66

God has not condemned you to hell. He sent Jesus to save you from sin, to forgive you. Those demons you saw lost their power when Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead, defeating death on your behalf. They are attempting to torment you and exert power over you. You need to understand the gospel and what Jesus did for you. He set you free from the POWER of darkness 2000 years ago. If you call on the name of Jesus, believing he paid your penalty for sin and death and rose again, he will save you. He said you will know the TRUTH and the truth will set you free. All demons can do is lie to you....and since they keep doing it, it makes you believe they have power over you. That’s their strategy. You are dealing with an arch enemy of God. Understand and know the truth of how God set you free in Christ is what frees you. If the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed. The Word of God is powerful and alive. Jesus, when tempted in the wilderness by Satan, spoke the word of God at him. Jesus is your savior.

Call on the name of Jesus. The word of God says there is salvation in no other. There is no other name given to man under heaven by which we must be saved. It also says, All who call on the name of the Lord (Jesus) shall be saved. Ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit, he will. When the enemy comes around to torment you, say In the Name of Jesus Christ, be gone and stand your ground. The word says, in my name they shall cast out demons. They may try to resist you to make you think it doesn’t work, but be alert it’s just a lie. They may challenge and lie to you to get you to doubt, but keep going using his name against them. They know they must bow to the name of Jesus. But if they can deceive you in thinking they have more power, they will. Don’t accept their lies. The Word of God is the truth. They lost their power to Jesus long long ago. Stand firm, use the word of God against them, and resist their lies. The LORD WILL deliver you.

I had an experience years ago being majorly challenged by a few creepy spirits. As I said, in the name of Jesus, get out..... a thought immediately came to my mind that said, we don’t have to, we are not going anywhere, and they proceeded to move across the room closer to me. I thought, oh Lord, help! Then I sat up and pointed at them and began to quote the scripture.....2 Timothy 1.7 that says, God has not given me a spirit of fear, but he has given me a SPIRIT OF POWER, of love, and a sound mind. I aggressively began to speak it aloud over and over pointing my finger at them. The third time I quoted it, the scripture was no longer just words coming out of my mouth, but they turned into power. As if the Holy Spirit was coming out of my mouth, and at that moment, they fled fast as lightning. They hate hearing the Word of God. They hate the name of Jesus because they know they must bow to his name. Demons only weapon is a lie, so your fight is against a lie. Jesus said you shall KNOW THE TRUTH and the truth shall make you free! They try to exert power over you and it feels very real, but it’s only a lie. If they keep on, and you’ve done all u know to do, just think oh well, I will believe Gods word anyway. It will leave!

Know and understand what Jesus did for you. The word says In Colossians 1, he has DELIVERED us from the POWER of darkness. Past tense. You get his promise by believing his word and keeping it in your heart, being convinced. He likens the Word of God as your sword to slay the wicked one. Ephesians 6, part of your spiritual armor he tells you to use is the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is the Word of God. It kills demons. Notice it is called the Sword of the SPIRIT. It’s the power and sword the Holy Spirit uses. Jesus said the words I speak to you ARE SPIRIT and they are LIFE.

The only judgment I can see would be like God did to Israel to get them out of their sin. He does it to all of us. He wants us to be convicted enough that our sins seem wrong to us and then we will want to come out of them. Life gets hard because of sin sometimes, but live in repentance- sincere sorrow for them. Then perhaps you can change. It’s important we come out of the major sins where we will not enter the kingdom of God.
