Battling a curse

[FragranceofLilac]

Since I've been seeking a more Godly life, the demonic realm has been trying to bully me. I've given my life back to the Lord Jesus Christ fully. However, I think I opened up doors for demons to come in when I was leading a fleshly life. As I mentioned before I took a couple puffs of pot about four days ago. Could this potentially be what caused it? I've also been struggling in my mind thinking I blasphemed the Holy Spirit but I have been listening to sermons and praying to the Lord fervently for forgiveness. The good news is I believe Jesus has forgiven me. What's some good Bible verses for spiritual warfare? (staff edit) Any advice you guys can give would be great.

Sorry to hear of your struggles. I can be a challenge to get free from the Satanic world for some believers. Satan likes to bring up reminders and tries to refuse to give up ground. So you are right to use your authority in Christ Jesus to free yourself from anything that hinders you. Hopefully you have some help in this as well.
As a practical matter, many believe that the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is simply the rejection of Jesus entirely. That someone who the Holy Spirit bears witness too and never accepts Jesus will not be forgiven. Here is one take that is a reasonable interpretation. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and the Unforgivable Sin
What you can do personally is read up on what your authority in Christ is and how to conduct spiritual warfare. Here is a free primer on that subject. https://www.restoredtofreedom.com/Kenneth-E-Hagin-The-Believers-Authority.pdf
Other old school Pentecostal names that can offer help include Lester Sumrall, who has a teaching series on this. Derek Prince is another. Some of course object to this type of teaching but if you are anointing your house with oil, you are probably are past some of the criticisms labelled at those who take deliverance seriously. If you just want scriptures, here is a good start. 39 Bible verses about Spiritual Warfare
The only other thing I might add is don't give up. Press in and find the victory that Jesus bought for you. Don't fall for the condemnation of the devil for your past or when you sin now. A lot of victory is found too just in knowing God's word. Romans 12:2 KJV states: "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." God bless

Also, a friendly reminder about this rule:

Requesting specific prayers for deliverance from demonic activity, or requesting advice on how to exorcise or bind demons is not allowed. Posts which attempt to exorcise or bind demons, or posts which give instructions on how to complete deliverance are not allowed. Members concerned about demonic activity/deliverance may speak with a CF Chaplain in the Ask a Chaplain forum.

Therefore, we can give you bible verses for spiritual warfare and advice about your drug situation here, but if you want specific information about demons, please go down to the Ask A Chaplain forum and start a new thread to talk with them. No demon binding instructions here, everyone.

Fix your nutrition, sleep and your life style. This is always the first step. Leave the "demons hypothesis" for the end of the line.

Great! Now do not be bothered with such things anymore, continue in your walk and simply rebuke those adversarial notions.
