Casting down imaginations, every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Corinthians 10:5
My story with Schizophrenia
I started going to church at the beginning of year 2005, I got very deep thing into the things of God. I got baptized in water, and then I received the gift of the Holy Ghost. I was doing fasting and prayer for some days a little after that, and this nice prescense came into my room where I was praying, and it started telling me how he was Jesus and a few days later after having this prescense around me, it started telling me how he was in love with me, and that I was the bride of Christ and that I was able to have sex with him and it kind of hipnotized me. I don't know why I didn't rebuked this in the name of Jesus, but all I know is that it deceived me, and it started having sex with me. I just remember bits and pieces of what happened after that, all I know is that the prescense took me into my living room and it made me breathe several times, making me say the name of Jesus many times, and I saw this green fog attach to my lungs. Right after that, I started hearing voices in my head, it was trying to confuse me with the coming of Christ for the church, telling me how it was going to happened that night, it made me look in the mirror, and see the face of an angel and it would also control my voice. After the hipnotizing went away, and I was able to tell what had happened was not good, I called some friends from church so they could start praying for me and rebuke what had gotten inside of me. I told them the story, and they prayed for me, but then later I started hearing the voices again, and the voices were very tormeting because they cursed at me, I would drive my car and they would tell me that they were going to kill me by making me hit another car, because they were able to control some of my movements. I was like this for about a week, with lots of anxiety in my body. The voices stopped bothering me for some days, and a few days after that, this other voice that controlled my mouth started telling me how it was God, and that he had seen my suffering, and it gave me dates of when I received the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior, and all of this information that I thought only God could have, so this voice told me to tell my family that I had heard the voice of God. My family was already worried of what happened some days ago, so I did what the voice told me, and I was taken to a mental hospital. I kept talking to this character for about 10 months in my mind having visions or hallucinations, until I try to comitt suicide a day before Christmas that same year. During those months, I still read the bible, I dressed like a Christian, but kept believing that the character in me was God or the Holy Ghost. I tried to committ suicide because that character said it was going to leave me. After that, I kept having experiences with characters that would say they were from the bibke, it all happened for about another year. I have to say it felt like what the voices said felt like it was right, and they twisted everything that I would read in the Bible and put in a way that would benefit them. I was put in the hospital many times, it seemed like I was at the crisis center every 2 months or so. My life felt as it if were ruined I had been raped because I ran away from my house because of the voices made me think of doing that, I lost my marriage, and I had try to committ suicide more than 3 times, almost a few weeks before I received deliverance I was at the point of becoming an atheist. I thought that I just had a chemical imbalance, and that I had to be treated with the right medication so I could to stop hearing the voices. All I know is that I by this time I had realized that the voices that I was hearing were not from God, and this I think happened because there was many people praying for me. After my experience, I believe that schizophrenia is caused by unclean spirits, and that these spirits may cause a chemical imbalance, but the only way to get rid of these unclean spirits is by pleading the blood of Jesus and by the person being filled with the Holy Ghost.
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
2 Corinthians 6:15-17
Waking up to reality
While I waited for the medication to the clear up the voices, with lots of anxiety, I smoked a cigarette on the porch of my sister's house. All of a sudden, this lady passed by and gave me a tract. I read the tract, which talked about the coming of Christ for his church, which was something that I had had confusion because the voices distorted information in mind about that. And the tract cleared up many questions, including the one about were is my soul is going to go when I die. I believed what the tract said, my heart knew at that time I had to make a change. I believe the next day, I went to the store and I bought me the chewing gum to quit smoking, and I bought the book by Joyce Meyer called The Battlefield of the Mind, and I started reading it. I notice there is a chapter that talks about spirits that make the minds captive, and you have to plead the blood of Jesus when something like this happens, and I also remember another sister from church that told me whenever I had a bad thought I could call on the name of Jesus in my mind, and that it would go away. Well, I decided to all of a sudden scream in my mind the name of Jesus, and then the voices which were speaking for some time nonsense comments, replied back to me "Damn you", and that's when the battle began.
Wearing the armor and obtaining deliverance
To do this I had to apply the verse I used at the beginning of this thread. For everytime I heard a voice, I would plead the blood of Jesus in mind. I came to find out that these voices can't hear what you are saying in your mind, they only sense what you're saying, and then they bring up arguments that match your imagination to try to make you feel guilty, faithless, defeated, or even like they're right on what they're saying. At the same time, I started going to a church, where they praise the Lord in spirit and truth, I told somebody about me backsliding, so they prayed so that the Spirit of God could inhabit my body again. I started reading the bible, praying, and avoiding sin. I did everyday about an hour of praising and praying. At the first week of going to church, the spirits that were in me manifested themselves to the congregation, cursing at the brothers and sisters. The congregation prayed for me and rebuked the spirit in the name of Jesus, and at that time I made up my mind that I was freed no matter if I still heard the voices, but by faith I proclaim that. I didn't feel deliverance at that time, but I still proclaim freedom in the name of Jesus. During the second week of going to the services, I felt the prescense of God, which strength me to go through the week with the addition of feeling the prescense of Him in my room while I was praying one night. During the fourth week, while at the service, somebody was praying for me and all of a sudden I felt a fire that fell in me, and i just couldn't keep control of myself, then at the night service that day I began speaking in other tongues, at that time I knew that God had filled me with His Holy Spirit that morning, then the voices said they were going back to hell, and they left me alone. Praise the Lord for his mercy and his grace and sacrifice for us in the cross that made me free.
