  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Ok, sorry if this post belongs somewhere else better than hear.

I welcome all to this conversation who may be gifted in deliverance or those who may wish to pray with/for me.

So, it was about seven years ago in church during worship. I had this vision of a demon approaching me, and it was furiously trying to become a part of me (like a spirit entering my body).

It wasn't the first time I had seen something like it, but this time something was different. Within a short timeframe I began to hear a voice(s) calling to me by name. This became greater and greater over time and progressed into things like extreme persuasion to sin in various ways. It became so tormenting over the years that at one point I had a rifle in my mouth. Not sure how I made it through then.

It's about half as bad as it used to be, but it still continues to wreck my life. I can't even begin to count how many times I've fasted/prayed over this and can't ever seem to find the victory. I don't know if its possession or just oppression but whatever it is I'm wrecked. I've never felt right/or close to Jesus again since this has started.

I would appreciate any input/prayer. Maybe God will give someone here a word about all of this?

Some times God allows the devil to test us. Jesus was tested in the wilderness by Satan before he entered into His ministry to the broken hearted. Some times we need to experience a form of brokenness to eventually help others. As a generalisation, I would say you will come through when you can beat the sin the devil tempts you with, and grow in faith to keep Satan away.

This situation does not in any way mean there is anything wrong with you, nor your relationship with God. God is with you and loves you, respects you, and will give you the victory.

I'm really at the end of my rope on this. I've done everything I possibly could have over the years and even today I'm hammered into anger and despondency.

I have been through a similar situation to yourself ... had to deal with a devil for years .... but now I am free ... some times it really does just take time.

The fact is that you do have power over the devil, but he will not leave until you persistently believe he has to. You can move it with your faith.
