  • 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.

Scary Stuff!

like last week I asked God to show me a sign that he is helping me in my life and cares and loves me. (I already knew this, but I just wanted a sign) and God Fulfilled this sign for me!! HE ACTUALLY DID IT!! I have even more faith now! Anyway, I went back to sleep after that and when I woke up I was paralyzed and I could not move! It felt as if some one or something was holding me down and keeping me from getting up! I didnt know what to do but then I remembered to call on Jesus to help me. I called on Jesus as loud as I could and I could barely get my voice out. After i called His name the thing or whatever was holding me down vanished a few seconds after and I finally could sit up. The question is What the heck was holding me down?! and whatever it was I dont think it liked Jesus. What do you think It was? some kinda evil spirit? :confused:

I am glad you are seeking God. I am a little concerned about needing signs though, Jesus said a wicked and adulterous generation needed signs, just a reminder.

I don't know what happened, but just remember that Jesus in us is more powerful than any evil. Even if the evil ones kill us, Jesus has power over death too, sometimes it may seem like His way is not winning or powerful, but He is always with us. God bless, keep close to Jesus and His words and ways

I heard a story in the bible about some guy who asked God for a sign and my teacher said it is ok to ask for one.
Would that have been Gideon?

Signs can be good if we don't know which way to go and we want God to direct us, and we don't have that direct leading that some do. I asked for a sign to see if my husband was the one that God wanted for me and he fullfilled it.

For a matter of gaining faith though? I don't know, that's iffy.

Anyways, the spirit thing, there are spirits out there that can do that, but no need to be afraid as you can see, since it fled at the name of Jesus :)

First I would like to say I consider supernatural acts are possible be it angelic or demonic. Yes demonic attacks must flee in the name of Jesus.

There is also such a thing as sleep paralysis. It's a natural part of REM sleep but can also occur for a few minutes after being awakened. And even before falling asleep though rare. In which case you would not be able to move or speak without difficulty. It might even feel as if there were some sort of pressure on your body.

There was some interesting information in Wikipedia regarding sleep paralysis. You may want to check it out.

I totally agree with rocklife - stay close to Jesus.

Psalm 3:3 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. (NKJV)

God bless

also, the same thing happened to my mom. Something held her down also.. but... It growled....
Yes, this is scary stuff.

If you firmly believe your family is under physical spiritual attack seek out Spirit led, anointed men of God to minister to you and your family.

In the meantime, I would ask that you not lend power to it by focusing on fear. Rather focus on putting on the whole Armor of God. Read Ephesians 6:10-18

Psalm 27:1-3

The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.

Again…seek out Spirit led, anointed men of God to pray for you and yourfamily and to minister to you according to the Word of God.

If this is a sincere concern, do not look to this forum for answers…Look to God.


God bless,
Cris

I also have this type of a dream and your are not the only one. I was search the internet and came across a poll the ask a the same question. The long story short is that believe and non-believe have experience the same force on top of them. Now back to me this has happen to me so many times that I have lose count. But every time that I call on Jesus it alway disappear. So I believe that it is a fallen angel is attacking all us in the spirt realm though our dream and only call on the name of Jesus will they on leave. I hope I may have answer question.

It might have been an evil spirit sent by Satan. See the Devil, of course, doesn't want us to believe in Jesus but believe that God and Jesus don't live and never have lived. Satan probably didn't want you to believe in God and was trying to find a way to get your mind off of Him. I think you did the right thing though. You cried out to Jesus even though your voice was week. Jesus heard you and He lifted a great burden off of you. Don'tforget Jesus hears our every cry. Even when our voices are so soft that it seems like He can't hear us. Be blessed.

Let us make it clear, asking our Father for a sign is not evil, unless that sign is to prove He exists. This is evil in the eyes of God, one must first have faith in order to recieve a sign, if you are asking for a sign to prove He is real, then it is not asked in faith. Many examples in the Bible where signs are good. What father would not be proud to give advice to their children who ask them for direction in their lives. Therefore our Father also will be more then happy to give us signs, if they are asked in sincerety, and asked specifically for directions from Him.
.
About your incident, about being paralized, at this point is when the flesh is most suseptible to demon possesion. you did well in thinking of Christ when this occured, and you shall be blessed for such thinking. Now of coarse science will come up with another name for it, like they always do, in things they do not understand in the spiritual ways. Can't be demon possesion therefore it must be a sleep disorder of some kind, though rare still a sleep disorder. bah hum-bug. In almost every case of an actual demon possesion, this what happened to you has been reported to happening to them. Thinking of Christ is the answer to ward off such demons.
.
Demons need a place to dwell, no matter what, it has to be flesh, even an animal, however they have much more control and freedoms if they dwell in human flesh, in order for them to enter into a human flesh, many requirements must be met first, set up by God Himself, the mind is not to be affected during such times as a demon trying to enter into the flesh, if then that mind accepts the demon, and the body is without movement, can a demon enter into that flesh, But as long as the mind is active, and can think on Christ, the demon cannot enter, he does not have permission to enter such a one. Also be aware of this. if a flesh already has a demon in them, that demon can invite other demons with him.
Anyway, you did well in thinking on Christ.
