I'm not a non-christian.. but I still have a prayer request.

I keep having this idea in my head.. I don't know if it's true or not, but I keep feeling like I'm switching souls with people. I feel like other people (like real poeple that I go to school with and everything) are trading souls with me. This is scary. I keep praying for god to make everything right again. But I keep having to pray and pray because it feels like it happens so often. This is driving me crazy, I can't stand. It makes me feel very akward, it makes me feel like I can't be proud to be me, it makes me feel like I'm not me. I keep feeling like i'm doing this to the members of my family too. oh no! that's scary.. I don't want that..

Please... someone please pray to god that no more soul switching happens because of me. Please pray that everyone's original soul will be back in their original bodies and will be okay. Please pray that these whacky ideas quit getting into my brain..

Praying for you GF!
Like DD says, I would encourage you to talk to someone about this, either a family member, or through church, or a health professional like your doctor, as they can probably help and advise you and support you through these distressing experiences.

Maybe people here can help me. I tried asking my parents. My Dad thought I was crazy and made a joke saying like "what if some liberal soul gets into you? are you going to turn liberal?" I asked them several times if I could see a shreenk, they said they'd be wasting their money.
Here's my problem. I can remember doing this since I was 5 or 6 years old. I remember back in 1995 when I was 6 when my friend licked his hand and then slapped my hand with it. Even though I washed my hand several times, I still never wanted to touch anything with it for over a week. Problems like this one have been happening my entire life, up until I was 13 and matured a bit more. It slowly started to leave my mind. I enjoyed being free of these paranoid/contaminated thoughts, actually, I didn't remember what it was like having those thoughts until just a week or two ago when I got the idea in my head mentioned in my first post. Let me give ya'll another example or two so ya'll could get a better idea of what it's like to have this odd disorder I possess. I remember when someone farted when I was eating, i would take my food and move to a completley different area. If it was at school, I'd look like a total jerk and move away from my friends and sit some where else. Even if someone like my brother farted at the dinner table, I'd leave the kitchen and eat in the living room, I get guilt whenever I think about it. Next example; it happened in third grade, there was a special needs kid in my classroom. Being an 8-year-old, that was the first time I had seen a special needs kid and had identified that he was different from the rest. Every time I would see him, I would feel like the room was contaminated. Just looking at him broght discomforatable feeling to my mind, like I was being bothered whenever he caught my eye. I would try to not let him catch my eye everyday. Okay, I could probably go on and on with examples like this; like not eating off of silverware in resturaunts because other people have eaten off of them, not kissing a girl who's kissed a guy before, wearing gloves out in public, I have so many more but I'd rather get to the point.

So, here I am a 15-year-old, 16 next december, and I have completley forgotten that I once had germ-a-phobic behavior (is there a name for that?) and my OCD (I didn't give any examples of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in the first paragraph, but I will in just a minute).

I was bored, and I was searching for random things on the internet that might spark my interest. I came across Wicca. I never intended to get into it, but I was interested to see what it all was about. I had heard of wicca, it was magic practiced as a religion. I read some stuff that I NEVER wished I would have read.. I read stuff about your soul leaving your body. And there was an eye illusion that could train your mind how to do it. I won't post the link to it because I don't want anyone to go through what I'm going through right now, but if you'd like to see it so you could tell me if it really works or not, PM me. And well, I tried it. At first, it felt very cool. But then.. some weird stuff started happening. Have you ever closed your eyes (you don't have to close your eyes actually) and been able to make yourself feel like you were moving? I was able to do that.. there was a problem though.. my brain memorized the "movement" needed to leave your body. This was happening at school, and it was happening without me being able to control it because of my OCD. Here's where the germ-a-phobe/contamination behavior come in, I feel like my soul is entering other people's bodies.. I feel like their souls are entering mine.. Yet no feels different bodies because souls are not attatched to memory or any parts of the brain.. But I get a strong feeling like other souls are in me. I feel like my soul is contaminated now.. I feel contaminated.. Here's where more OCD comes into play; I pray to god every 5 minutes a few times about returning everyone's original souls back to everyone's original bodies, not to give anyone the wrong soul, and ignore the prayer if it is not true. I keep doing this every 5 minutes because I am in constant need of recognition of somthing like this (it's part of OCD) and because I keep feeling like souls are entering my body and my soul is going to other bodies. This is really making me lose my mind.. I now remember what it was like to be 6-years-old and always telling myself OVER AND OVER "some one did not touch this, some one did not touch this, some one did not touch this, some one did not touch this, some one did not touch this, some one did not touch this, some one did not touch this, some one did not touch this, some one did not touch this" whenever I was eating food.

Please, some one help me.. No one else has helped me.. I can't take this anymore.. please..

As I read your post earlier, OCD came to mind instantly. So I wasn't surprised when you said you had it. It is good that you are aware of having this condition. I work in a behavioral health clinic for adults with mental conditions. Your thoughts remind me of some of the patients. My clinic helps patients whether they can pay or not. Many of our patients are homeless. There should be a clinic around you that does the same. Even your local hospital will help you. I would highly recommend that you seek professional help. They can help you immensely. Have you considered taken medication? There are some good medications out there that can help control the bad thoughts and feelings. These are just a few suggestions.

Know that you will be in my continual prayers. May God bless you and help you through.

God Bless,
Charity

Like I said earlier, my parents refuse to get me professional help. They think I can work it out on my own, plus they think they might put me in a mad house. I'd love to take medication to get this **** out of my mind.. but that requires professional help and I can't get that unfortunatley.

Can you please offer me advice? I think that may be able to help me a lot. And what do some of your patients say? I'm curious.

Thank you

I am sorry but I don't have much advice to give outside of seeking professional help and/or medication. I don't work one on one with the patients. I work more with their case managers and psychiatrists/psychologists. I am around the patients somewhat but don't know how they handle their illnesses or work through them. Their doctors and case managers do, though; thus my suggestion.

One thing, though. You had stated that your parents were afraid the doctors would put you in a "mad house". Not all patients end up in a psych hospital but if they do, it is for a very short period. It is just until the docs can get their treatment going and they are in a stable condition. The only patients that I know of that are in a psych hospital for longer periods are those that are in immediate danger of hurting themselves or others. Most care, though, is done as an outpatient (not in a hospital). Does your parents have health insurance? Most insurances cover care and most medications. You would have to check with your insurance, though. Please let your parents know how serious your feelings are and how much you want/need help. They should understand. If not, seek help at your local church, school, hospital, etc... Someone will take you serious.

I wish I could help you more. It breaks my heart that you are having to deal with this at such a young age. Please know that I will continue to pray for you and pray that you get the help that you deserve.

God Bless,
Charity

Have you ever been to a therapist or have you ever been DX with any psych disorders? I am not attempting to bait you, but you may benifit from something of this nature.

I have no doubt that demonic forces exist in the world. And that these forces are behind witchcraft, masquerading as "cosmic energy" or "goddess dianna" etcetera. "Out of body experiences", are absolutely occultic phenomena. There are "psuedo-occultic" things, which are not real --- palm reading, tarot cards, ouija boards --- are not real. And there are occultic things; there are some things which are cursed, and can invite demonic presences into our lives. (I believe many x-rated websites are of this nature.)

And yet, there are also physiological/psycological conditions which create the exact same occurrances.

A counselor is very much indicated. Is there a minister available to you nearby? Someone you can go and talk to, who has time for you?

RE your spirituality, here is foundational reality: "Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." James4:7-8

"You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He that is in you than he who is in the world." 1Jn4:4

Fight the devil with all that you are, "tooth-and-nail", expend great energy; and you will lose. The secret to winning spiritual battles is in Luke 10:17-20. "And the seventy returned with joy, saying: 'Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name!' And Jesus said to them: 'I saw satan fall from heaven like lightning. Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall injure you'."

...but look at verse 20: "Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in Heaven."

That's the secret --- claim the victory as ALREADY DONE. Completed long ago, by Jesus on the Cross.

Finished. Complete. Won! The last chapter of your book has already been written; you are a perfect winner in Christ. The devil is the greatest deceiver, always trying to convince us we've lost; it's a lie, we've already won.

Please seek counselling, SKILLED counselling; and meanwhile, seek God's presence with all that you are. Spend time in the Word; read with comprehension. Pray! Pray in worship and praise, for He deserves it, and He inhabits worship. Ask Him for forgiveness, for He has promised not only to forgive our sins if we repent and ask, but to FORGET THEM AS WELL! Thank Him for what you have --- clothes, food, a place to live --- school that you have a future. Unthankfulness is arguably the root of all sin; and thanksgiving moves us towards humbleness. Pray for those you love --- friends and family, that they might come to know Jesus. And pray for your ENEMIES just the same! If not for God's grace, all of us would perish! Pray with pure fellowship --- for salvation IS fellowship, the real persons of Jesus and the Holy Spirit indwelling your heart --- as you delight in HIS presence, KNOW that He delights in yours! The God of the Universe --- truly enjoying your company!

And --- pray for your needs; physical needs, psychological, and spiritual. Pray for HEALING. And then thank Him for having DONE it!

Please seek help, "Godsfriend"; it is not weakness to sometimes "stop and ask directions", it is strength; as any guy who has spent hours lost, if it would have been better to just have asked someone beforehand.

God bless you and keep you.

:)

Father, help this youth through this terror and confusion. Break this darkness that is deceiving and confusiing him.

You opened yourself to dark spirits when you touched wicca, etc. The scripture commands us not to touch anything for spritual guidance other than the Word of God.

I suggest: 1. that you ask the Lord to forgive you for getting into something forbidden.

2. That you ask God to deliiver you from the effects this has had on your mind and life. John 8 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.


3. Start reading the bible everyday. Take it like medicine. The Lord promises to wash our minds and hearts with the Word of God. Eph 5:26 even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,


4. You will start learning what the real truth is in the Word of God.

5. You will learn that soul switching is a demonic delusion and to let God break that demonic power through prayer and believing God in your life.John 8 12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.



6. When you have delusions (I am not saying imaginations, but false things) working in your life, phobias, etc. will grow and increase in number.

7. Choose to walk in faith with the Lord and you will find these things will break away from your life piece by piece. Deciding to believe God is very important. It is not a feeling, at first, but a decision. Rom 10 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.


8. I suggest you start attending a church. Be sure and pray and see which one will be a help to you. God can deal with any problems we have. John 832 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

9. In the bible HE has promised us a sound mind. As you walk in obedience to the word of God and put the Word in your heart, it will start building a strong foundation of truth that will set you free from any kind of bondage.2 Timothy 1 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.


Rom 13:12 let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.


Notice this scripture that refers to a spirit being in this lady. Acts 16 16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:


Father, we can trust you with our lives. You are all knowing and have promised to lead us into the truth that will set us free.

Godsfriend,
Ive never heard of "switching souls", but I know that with God being involved anything could happen. Do you think that this happening to you could be a sign of a spiritual gift that you may have and just dont know about it or how to use it? Just pray about itIm willing to talk with you about it sometime just look for me to be online. Ill talk or pray with you anytime and I will certainly keep you in my prayers.

Godsfriend,
Im sorry. I gave you bad advice. I worded everything wrong and I talked to my mom about your problem. You dont need medication. YOu are born with a soul and that soul is yours to keep. Maybe what you think is happening isnt. I mean, there is no such thing in switching souls. But maybe you have a spiritual gift that you dont yet know about. Just search further for answers from God and pray for God to help you.

dear God:

we pray to you fervently for this poor girl's heart. we pray that you take her fears and insecurities away.. we pray that you expose the truth to her in spite of herself. we pray that you love up on her, and that you hold her, and comfort her, and she not reject your intercession in her life.

we pray that you take away what is corrupt in her heart, and show her what is pure. you let her have this disorder. train her to use it in the right and righteous way. let her obsess w/reading your word. let her obsess w/preaching your word. let her obsess w/seeing the people around her, and loving them, and caring for them, and earnestly striving to show them your love and will and grace that you show her.. let her show grace & love to others, that passes all understanding..

we believe in you God. we pray that she believe in herself. we know you have a will and a plan for her. we pray you heal her in all ways. we pray that the counseling she seeks, be righteous, and God-based. we pray that no one hurts her in her sickness. we pray that you love and protect and guide her thru this black tunnel.
thank you so much for her openness. thank you so much that you are taking such good care of her.

if her parents are wrong in refusing her counseling, change their hearts dear God. move in their hearts. if they are doing the right thing by refusing, then show her the window you need her to get thru, dear father.

we thank you so much for this awesome daughter of yours,
in Jesus name we pray,

amen.

I keep having this idea in my head.. I don't know if it's true or not, but I keep feeling like I'm switching souls with people.

I know persons who are demon possessed use mirrors to switch their stuff on you. Its not soul switching but it appears like it. You feel and think the same as they do and if a Christian pray or prophesy over you he will discern the wrong stuff on you and even may cast out a devil.

It’s difficult to explain and you may not understand the counterfeit that satan use.

Most important you have to do spiritual warfare to get rid of these spiritual mirrors. I do not know how much you know already, however, I will keep you in my prayers.

You are welcome to pm me.
