• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I'm a born again believer in Christ. I try not to be a fornicator with my bf I tell him no all the time. I don't think I have a demon, but I had a church try to purge me of one one time. I'm newly diagnosed with schizoaffective bipolar type disorder and I was hearing voices pretty bad before I got on anti-psychotics. I also had a number of weird coincidences happen to me that made me believe these voices were really demons taunting me. I even heard a song play through someone's headphones saying I lost my soul.

Anyway the voices were telling me I'm going to hell. I lost my soul and that I have a demon.

I wrote an entire list of reasons why it's false. Many people already told me it's false the voices lie.

I'm still scared though I don't want to live my whole life just to burn in the end.

I know every sin is forgiven by God except one and I haven't done it. How do I break this fear?

Demons can inject thoughts into your mind and make them think that you are thinking the thought. You need to declare war on everything that is contrary to God's word and resist every suggestion that does not come from you
2 Corinthians 10: 4 & 5
. …The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We tear down arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Start commanding evil spirits to release your mind. If you are suffering from fear, command the fear to go in Jesus' name. If you do not choose to think a thought, it is not of you. God will not inject thoughts into your mind. So there is one source left! They are like trespassers on your property. You have the legal right to evict them. In Christ, you have to power to kick them out also.

Replace Satan's lies with truth. A good one is "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." (2 Timothy 1:7)

It won't be instant freedom. It is war. We need to get free then stay free. Another word for you is James 4:6 & 7 “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

My mind used to be a mess, full of doubt and unbelief, fear, worry and negativity. I learned the secret to a free mind. I still have to maintain that freedom. Satan is persistent. But we can easily defeat him if we do not become slack.

You said you’re born again …You have accepted Jesus Christ as your lord and savior…that settles it. You are born again of incorruptible seed ….you have eternal life and that can’t be lost.
If you lost your soul you wouldn’t be posting…
Soul life is in the blood …it’s the person who we are …when you take your last breath your soul life ceases.

The greatest healing at your fingertips is the Word of God …read the word.

You really want to know? Ok let me tell you what I did oh 35 years ago when I had voices bugging me and YES they were voices NOT just my imagination! The kept telling me they were going to get me and finally I rose up in a holy anger fed up with it and shouted, "Ok get me then. I mean NOW do it NOW! I mean NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW! Oh I see you can't do that then and you can't do it because I'm In Christ Jesus, I'm born again and filled with the Mighty Spirit of God and furthermore I have authority over you in Jesus name and I BIND YOU SATAN! I declare the precious blood of Jesus over my spirit, mind and body and I AM FREE!!!

OK now you said about fear my Christian friend. How to overcome it? Remember when Jesus turned over the tables of the money changers. Turn the tables over on the devil and YES make him afraid YES him! You recall James 4:7 states resist the devil and he WILL FLEE FROM YOU? Who is the one who is afraid? Who is the one who is afraid? The devil is that is when you rise up in your authority In Christ which Jesus will back you up on. He didn't die on the cross and endure all he did to give you a salvation that doesn't work. Jesus in on your side and the devil is terrified of him, I mean terrified. You might want to read Matt 8:29

A number of other things I could say to you but I'll end it with this. Think of it like a military . You ever heard if you're in the enemies camp captured you're under orders to only give your name, rank and serial number. Kind of like this. The devil want you to give him your fear something other then what God says to give him, but you rise up and say , "No you don't, no you don't, NO YOU DON'T! You won't get any fear from me for I'm locked into what God says about me in his word! When he's I'm more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus then that's what I am!

When he says God doesn't want me to have a spirit of fear 2 Tim 1:7 and if such comes around I cast down those imaginations 2 Cor 10:5 and every high thing that exalts itself against the word of God then that's what I do! That's my name, (Overcomer in Christ) rank and number (I'm one seated with Christ in heavenly places Eph 2:6 and all things are under my feet which of course includes fear, then laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh all your way to your manifested victory. In the spirit realm you already have the victory Col 2:15 but the feelings of it will manifest itself to you when you act with an excited, joyous, faith.

How do I break this fear?

By facing it and seeing it for what it is, a pack of lies.

Jesus died and rose again to deal with All our sins. That is our past, our present and our future sins.
It is Jesus who is holding on to you and your faith so rather than constantly praying about what he has dealt with, praise him for what he has done.
When fears about the past arise, or a voice tells you lies or tries to confuse you.
Just acknowledge that voice, don't argue etc just say that is right and move on to thank and praise God for what Jesus has done.

You are right that God does not want us to fear. Plus, His love "casts out fear, because fear involves torment." (in 1 John 4:18)

Turn the tables over on the devil and YES make him afraid YES him!
"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." (James 4:7)

Submit to God, first; then resist Satan the way God has you resist him.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)

This means how God has us succeeding in doing this. And this is in God's love which has us loving any and all people, caring for others as ourselves.

This peace is God's peace, therefore almighty peace so easily able to guard your mind and make Satan flee.

Jesus has talked personally with Satan; Jesus heard Satan's voice; but who won? Satan could not change or control Jesus. And my opinion is that Jesus ruled and decided if and when Satan got the attention of Jesus. So, trust our Lord Jesus to rule about if and when Satan is allowed to test you and talk to you. And make sure you are obeying God in His peace.

I think we could say, if Satanic stuff comes our way . . . first answer to God, then do what He has us doing.

And fear because of what a voice says is not the only wrong thing we need to refuse to give in to.

"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:31-32)

Not only do we need to refuse fear about if we will go to hell, but there are evil things which can keep us from loving tenderly as God's family.

We need to make sure we do not give in to bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and malice and clamor and evil speaking . . . and unforgiveness.

There can be voices and thinking which tell us we can not forgive "even as God". Yet, God's word clearly does say, "forgiving one another, even as God".

And there is so much more in God's word, about what is anti-love and about how God will have us relating in His love with each other as family while we are caring for and reaching to enemies.

You are definitely under demonic oppression. Get closer to Christ. If you are having relations with your bf, then he is your husband(assuming you are not already married or some other situation). A piece of paper and a ring on your finger does not change your current situation with him.

Demons hate worship music. Play it. Sing it. Pray. Read the Bible aloud. Find a good church if you can, or at least Christian friends.

Going to confession to be delivered from past failures by recognizing them as failures and also talking about your worries in confession can deliver you from negative voices. Also praying to God for His mercy to deliver it from you and asking to give you a chance. When I first was diagnosed with shizophrenia I was very much suffering from such stuff too. But I faught myself and visited church and confessed again and again and someday I was more free from it. Also keep away from stress BUT do not try to be lazy. Try to help others as long as you are not able to work but keep following a work-life-sleep balance. Give yourself a life, by painting, singing or doing sports and so on. Do not give up. I feel for you.
