My husband and I are living in a roommate situation so all we have is one room. My husband has become very defensive about when I voice my concern about him watching known satanists on tv, and he starts calling me " Mother Teresa" just because it makes me uncomfortable. I am not judging him, I just tell him I don't like that energy in the room. What should I do? I want him to understand the consequences of such actions because I feel like it jeopardizes me as well.

Isn’t that weird that some people think the tv is a transfusion from the devil and some don’t. My wife likes tv and her interests are many and varied. She is all right. I don’t see how she does it. I am uncomfortable with Satanist and murder and horror. She is not. Go figure. Take a walk? She doesn’t change me and I do not change her. That’s the rule. When do you get the remote? He should give you your way sometimes. He is just being selfish.

What do you mean, 'one room'; could you maybe find an alternative interest when he is watching TV?
I am not married but I have a similar situation with my sister. She doesn't watch Satanists, I just can't deal with the noise. So I read, visit people, attend church events and post here from a quiet place.

If you absolutely cannot get away, there is always the option of asking him to use earphones.

I just watched 2 minutes of that show and is your husband a mechanic? I've spent my work career working with people like that. For me it's like water on a ducks back.

My advice is don't work the Satanist angle, complain about the noise level. That you find it irritating. Another option other than ear phones are ear plugs but that would require action on your part.

Here is the problem for me though. I feel very strongly about this because I am an Empath and I am very sensitive to the occult and anything not of God.( great time to be alive!) So having it on the tv is like them being here in person to me and those guys are cool and very likeable, don't get me wrong- I like the show...but their energy goes right through me. Almost like a dealbreaker to me. I'm not one to give ultimatum, but I wouldn't invite Satanists into my home. It's the same thing!

That's very true actually because I never get the remote. Ever. Then again I am sensitive to dark stuff so I can't. It affects me physically. I'm an Empath, and I can walk in the room, not even look at the tv and my heart will start racing and I get flush and uncomfortable! I don't want to change him- we've had a great thing for 18 years, and I adore him but..... yeah you are right. I am taping the remote to the back of my phone as a joke to see what he says..!

Nah I think I'm just going to leave it alone. Jesus knows I certainly do not idolize those people, but I do enjoy Danny and like some of the work they do. But like I heard one guy go, " How are you going to pull that off? You'd have to be a magician" and the guy goes " Does black magic count?" And they all said *" yeah right on!" And high five. I might be overreacting. I have just started menopause so my hormones are off kilt. Thank you for your answer!

Now I'm wondering if a pagan has anything to say that is worthwhile responding to about the gospel?. Do you ever write in the comment section when available?

One thing that may help, is the following. I used to feel or sense evil spirits, it go to the point that it was distressing for me. So I prayed and asked God to take away the feeling of evil, now I will very rarely ever feel a demonic presence. Whenever I do now, I know it is a sign to pray about it, and I will go away and pray. I recommend rather than fight over what is on TV, go away and pray, if you can't leave the room, pray quietly under your breath. Pray for your husband, and pray for the people caught up in Satanism, pray that the demons leave them too.

Thank you. I do, but I can only spend so long in my stuffy closet. It just bothers me how it's becoming " ok" for people to say unGodly, Vile and disgusting things about God, but we are supposed to be compassionate and accepting of their customs and Kabbalah, and Magic, and Paganism. The double standards are getting to me across the board. Like I am a published writer, and I always look for contests to enter and lately anymore it's like, "Must be African American" only, and blah blah. How discriminatory! If we had a " White only" writing contest, the world would implode.

I think of the Church as it's own ethnic group tbh. Maybe just limit things to Christians?

I'm hyper sensitive to paganism now. Its not the menopause, I belive that it's a discernment of evil-The Lord's gift.
several years ago, mine began. I thought I was going crazy, but later found out that my discernment was spot on.
Witchcraft is more popular than ever... Have nothing to do with the kingdom of darkness, salvation is too precious to lose.

Is your a husband a disciple of Christ, a Christian? If not, it makes a kind of sense that he would not have any qualms about watching folks who are Satanists fix cars. They are refurbishing cars, after all, not openly worshiping the devil, right? Anyway, pressing him to feel about such t.v. shows as you do, if he is not a believer, is an effort doomed to failure. He needs the Holy Spirit, not his wife, convicting him and moving him to right living. As has already been said, most of all, your husband needs you to pray for him. Speak to sin when the way is open to do so, and take no part in it yourself, but then, in prayer, leave the transformation of your husband in God's hands.

I am not judging him, I just tell him I don't like that energy in the room. What should I do? I want him to understand the consequences of such actions because I feel like it jeopardizes me as well.

Is it really just an "energy" issue? Isn't the real problem that the t.v. show doesn't honor and glorify God? (1 Corinthians 10:31) Don't make the matter one that rests in your personal sensitivities but in the commands of God. (Ephesians 5:1-12)

God can protect you from the foolish choices of your husband. You don't need to fear for yourself, then, but, rather, for your husband whose viewing choices are not honoring to God and, as such, open up his life to demonic influence.

It's always through our rebellious, selfish choices that we invite the demonic into our hearts and minds, whether we realize it or not. These choices seem so harmless, so small, in-and-of themselves. Why would God even fuss at all about them? Sure, they put our will over His, but only a little bit. By this sort of reasoning, the rebellion toward God in our lives takes root and grows, and the devil encourages it, establishing strongholds within our rebellion, gaining greater power over us in doing so. So long as each moment of rebellion doesn't, by itself, seem too extreme to us, we move comfortably into it, reassuring ourselves that worrying about choosing our will over God's is just moralistic legalism. As this process of moving more and more into rebellion toward God, setting our will before His, continues, the convicting voice of the Spirit falls silent, our conscience becomes "seared as with a hot iron," and we cease to be able to properly discern right from wrong, good from evil.

Often, in my experience anyway, it is a person in whom this has happened who is quickest to make their conscience their guide. They are blind to the corruption that has occurred in their own conscience, unwilling or unable to think that it could, or has been, fouled and dulled. But following a corrupted conscience, they migrate with increasing speed into darkness and far from God.
