Anyone else harassed by demons sometimes when they go to Church ?

[Jude1:3Contendforthefaith]

Not every time, but there have been times where I have been physically harassed by demons while I was in Church. I'm being Completely Serious.

I'm sitting or standing during worship and physically feel something invisible messing with / touching me.

Has anyone ever experienced this ?

 

[Jude1:3Contendforthefaith]

Asking The Lord to put The Whole Armor of God on Us helps against it and also saying The Lord's Prayer.

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For 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. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God

• Ephesians 6:10-17




The Lord's Prayer :

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But Deliver Us From The Evil One.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

• Matthew 6:9-13

 

[SavedByGrace3]

Know that they are afraid of you because of what Jesus did.
They tremble at the name of Jesus. They cannot help it. God put that into them when Jesus rose from the dead.
Speak to them. Don't argue, command. They will flee as in terror. That is if they can get up from being paralyzed at the faith-utterance of His name.
It is not you. It is Him!

Yes, this is one of the reasons why I stopped going. It stopped being a safe space to express faith.

That is very very rare my friend.

As someone else has posted - take a good look at Ephesians 6 and the "armor of God". Pray that armor on yourself each morning.
Be careful of the kind of material you allow into your home, your mind, your focus. Be absorbed in things of God as much as possible.

 

[Jude1:3Contendforthefaith]

I posted this video in another thread, but it is very helpful in explaining the spiritual war that we are dealing with as Christians :

 

[Neogaia777]

I haven't been to church in a while, and the few times I have tried to find one lately, it was made clear to me each and every single time that I was not welcome there, but that still might not stop me from going or visiting there in the future, as I am still looking, etc.

I've never been physically fondled by some spirit there, but I do have trouble with "voices" in general, so for me, it was what was being said there, even and especially from the pulpit sometimes there, etc.

You think this would really bother me, but it's not so much that as it is fighting my own urge to me myself to speak up right then and there, or respond to what it is being said right then and there that upsets me/makes me mad the most. I can quite literally feel the frustration/anger rising up in me, and all that all-too-familiar feeling for me to do battle with my words rises up in me and/or begins with me right then and there, etc.

I've literally heard the Devil or Satan himself speak through certain radio and television pastors/preachers/teachers, etc, and I've done and still do do battle with them plenty of times, because they will start speaking back to me also, that's part of how I know it is the Devil speaking over those mediums, etc, and none of it upsets me while I am at home and am all alone all by myself, etc, and I actually kind of enjoy it sometimes, etc, because I can most of the time most usually upset them/him far, far more than they can ever upset me, etc, and I think it's hilarious, etc.

Because of this I avoid certain ones of them unless I want to fight, etc, as some others of them the Devil only speaks through "sometimes", or "every once in a while", etc, and this isn't quite as bad, etc.

Anyway, enjoy a song.

God Bless.

 

[Jude1:3Contendforthefaith]

Also, asking the Lord to torture and harass the demon back until it leaves me alone helps.

 

[Neogaia777]

What makes me want to go back into a church (setting) is only because I know there are sometimes some of the more marginalized there who need me, etc. Them I take pity on and feel sorry for, and my heart really, really goes out to them, etc. The rest don't really need me, etc.

God Bless.

Christ said I have you all power/authority over the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you". Christ told the 12 at the start don't rejoice that the demons have to listen to you/subject to you but that your names are written in heaven.

A true story yet we can take with a grain of salt its ok. A man said there were two demons at his door one very big strong looking the other clearly scared. This man.. was kind of scared no clue what to say.. he said all of a sudden he hears this huge rushing wind and this hand touches his shoulder and oh had such peace and boldness like never before. Haha he said "I don't know if it was a angel or Christ didn't care" He told those two demons if your going to stay you can sleep on the couch.

Then they left. See the only left when they knew that man knew the authority he had in by Christ Jesus. So I am 62 and never have any problems with demons in Church. The fact greater is He that is in me then he that is in the world. Its a simple smile and "take a hike in Jesus name leave me alone". Never have to give it another thought no matter what for its the same as when Peter and John prayed for man to be healed. Well prayed for would be wrong see they never had to ask God or Christ to heal that man it was in JESUS NAME. They said to the people after words "why look at us as if we did this by our own power? That name faith in that name healed this man".

See its that NAME not us. So we must know we have been giving all power all authority over the enemy.. some get stuck in that POWER and talk about demons and the like. But not focusing on Jesus Christ and our names written in heaven. A preacher who was talking to a male witch. At one point the witch was showing that preacher all the evil things he did spells making people sick.. yeah real then said to the preacher "what can your god do?". The preacher was waiting on the lord but nothing.. He said.. a GOD please say something so God said "don't put me to some stupid test".

The enemy has no power God does not even give him the time of day so to speak nor should we. Know not wonder that greater is He that is in you then He thats in world. The end of another true story this girl had to move somewhere she didn't like and was not happy. What she didn't see hear but the moment she moved in the demons screamed with fear. See that was the real reason God put her there. She was strong in the faith.

So do you say it verbally out loud ?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but sometimes God may mean for us to go through a/the struggle or fight with them, etc, so He may not always take it away, even in Jesus name, etc, and it's not always because the person did not have enough faith either, or wasn't doing it right either, as if there is a magical formula to it on our part, etc.

A very good and very close friend of mine was sent over to my house because he was going crazy one time/night, and was having very, very severe visual hallucinations of some messed up clowns that he thought were attacking him, etc. At his house, he tore through/up it with a big machete trying to attack them, or defend himself so he said afterward, and he actually did quite a bit of damage to the place in the process, and even went outside in his yard a couple of times, and up and down his street doing it, etc, and they (the people concerned about him) (and a little bit afraid of him) always seem to always think that's a special case for me to handle always, and so I did, etc. He was calling on Jesus name left and right, and using Jesus name a lot, and none of it worked. It was sad to watch, etc. Anyway, I got him to get some sleep finally, and took care of him for a few days, etc, and as he rested, ate, and slept, and was around me, and was talking with me, etc, he eventually started to calm down, and they started to go away, etc.

And in my situation, I'm not sure that I want my struggles with quote/unquote "voices" to completely go away. I have gained certain abilities and things through my struggles that are "priceless", etc, so I don't know if it's God's will for them to go away, since they have aided greatly in my ability to serve Him, and serve Him very, very well, etc. I recall Paul and his "thorn in his side", etc, that the Bible is very, very clear about it being an angel of Satan, or aka, a powerful or high ranking demon, etc, that God basically told Paul that he was going to have to deal with if he (Paul) wanted to be used of God in the way that Paul wished, etc.

And besides this, I really don't think that calling on Jesus name in a crowd of people, or in a church, is going to make all of them just physically shut up physically and all just magically go silent right away, since my problems are with the actual noises and voices around me, and they say that it's a problem in my brain, etc, or so they say, etc, and I like to let people make up their own mind about that, etc.

Anyway,

God Bless.

And God just told me for me to not ever personally forget why that demon was there with Paul as well, and that was to keep him humble due to the abundance of knowledge/revelations, etc. And I 100% fully agree with Him that I'd do very, very well to always remember that and do that always, etc. Humble myself instead of God having to use something that is being used by Him to humble me, or keep me humble, etc.

Thank you Sir/God God/Sir.

God Bless.

With my friend, I almost tried to cast it out of him, but in the last instant I was about to do it, and because he was a very close friend of mine, I felt sorrow and pity and compassion, and instead of being forceful about it, I changed my hand in the last second to just gently touch and put my hand on his head, and said, "Dave, Dave, Dave...", (I am using a different name here), and just kind of hung and shook my head, and after that I was no longer able to do it more forcefully, etc, but I almost did, don't know if it would have worked or not, but I do think that was one of my chances, or was the right timing in that specific case or that instance, etc. I really, really didn't want him flopping around on the floor like a fish, or seizing, or foaming at the mouth, or acting like he was having a seizure or something, etc.

Anyway, He's doing a lot, lot better now though, and we're still very good friends, and still do a lot of things together pretty regularly a lot of the time. We've been friends since high school, and we're both in our 40's now, etc, so, been friends a really long time, etc.

God Bless.

Get away from that church immediately. Don't go back. Your either finding the right path or might have holy spirit. Some of worst people go to churches as smoke screen. The devil will attack those who find spirtual growth or have holy spirit. Luke chapter 4:33. And in the synagogue there was a man, which had spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with loud voice. 4:35. And Jesus rebuked him saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. My suggestion. Shepherds chapel is on You tube, pastor dennis murray. You can do private studies with him. He teaches sound doctrine. Tells the truth. It's your decision. Luke 10:19. Jesus gave Christian people power over satan and evil spirits, by using Jesus name to order them away from you and your home. Get behind me in the name of Jesus!!. Use the power!!.

 

[ozso]

No never, not once. And I've never personally known a Christian who has. I do remember regarding a church I went to a long time ago, someone saying they felt an evil presence there. That was right after the church had had some bad falling out and pastor and staff had been replaced. I came in soon after that had happened. I suppose there might have been a demon lingering around. But it must have been driven out, because I never felt anything. Even when working there alone late at night.

Edit: Got my wires crossed. I worked late at night at the new facility they moved to a few years later.
