I have had one of the strangest things happen, and do not know if this is all in my head or real

I understand it can be hard to believe, before I was a agnostic/ashiest/skeptic. I do not believe making religious lies in order to convey people to believe is any good, but in fact bad and horrible. Faith should be built up on truths not lies.

I came across a occultist, I am not too sure who they are. But I was shown a occult ring he was wearing and immediately I was confused and had felt almost forced to turn away. I could not physically look at the symbols on the ring. I have never in my life been dazed by a symbol.

At night when I went to bed I have undergone sleep paralysis. And I decided to pray heavily and sleep paralysis have went away completely. It is hard to explain but it has felt as some kind of force was pushing itself against my body repeatedly.

I could not speak during the paralysis, but I was trying to say Jesus name. Trying to think of him, and when I could finally utter the words I was suddenly able to open my eyes.

It's very hard to explain how a object and symbols could force me to turn away and I have never experienced such confusion and dazing from something so seemingly simple.

I have aversions to some things and have had to keep my self from looking feeling it was evil. I also think some have a tendency to put too much imphases on things that are not bad. Hopefully your discernment is on track.
For instance my daughter made a big stink about my writing a tele number on the palm of my hand.
It is easy to read into things sometimes. Keep praying and keep calling on Jesus. Put on the whole armor of God and remember God is there with you.
God bless you. Think sweet thoughts:)

What you have experienced is a demonic attack. There is nothing wrong with you or your faith. Demons will often honor occult symbols/people and give them a degree of power. If it happens again, as you did, focus on Jesus, and His power, through that power you can force away the demons.

What advice are you seeking? I too suffered from sleep paralysis until the power of Jesus Christ of Nazareth broke the experience. It's been several years. Sounds like you broke the spell ( for lack of a better word). My advice , don't put any energy into objects.
"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." 1John4:4
Be blessed.

The horror of such powers is part of my whole POV concerning life, sin, doctrine etc. That total involvement of the self against that force is drawn out of a you, isn't it?, almost as though you had not chosen it, and the intensity of it is done without the knowledge or understanding of much anything but the revulsion against that evil and the need for Christ's power. The feel of death pressing against you is as overwhelming to you as the urgent need to kill it is, but you know your whole self and will and mind and body is not equal to the task. Thank God for his presence.

As you can see, Satan's power is so inferior, not able to turn us into people who love the way Jesus desires.

And beware that you do not allow Satanic stuff to control your attention.

Stay submissive to our Father in His peace >

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Cousins 3:15)
