You have some great advice from others in this thread. I would suggest seeking deliverance through someone with experience in this area first, in order to see where you really are at, then follow through with the other things as needed.


Yeah I'll tell my psychiatrist about it the next time I see her. I shouldn't continue to lie about it at any rate. It doesn't really help anything.

So ever since becoming a Christian back in 2013 I've been haunted by thoughts along the lines of Jesus is Satan and the Holy spirit is Satan. Im told that these delusions are from the schizophrenic side of me by my psychiatrist and so far no medication has been able to get rid of these schizophrenic delusions. I lied and told my psychiatrist that these delusions have gone away because I don't think she can do anything about it. They haven't. Its like the devil is trying to attack me its like I'm being tormented by demons. Why!? Why won't Jesus heal me of this mental illness? There has to be a reason.

I mean... I know deep down in my heart that it isn't true. Jesus nor any other parts of God are demonic but why must I think these things every time I pray? Every time I try to get close to God. I keep reading John 6:37-40 over and over again looking for the "none are lost except for the crazy and insane Shane." But of course it isn't there. The only thing that's there is "despite this sin Shane is STILL one of my sheep and is still always and eternally saved." I mean... I'm honestly done believing that I'm committing the unforgivable sin. I'm just done worrying about that. Why? Because Jesus said that NO believer will be lost zip Nada zero. So I'm confident in my salvation.E specially when I saw myself be born again. I KNOW I'm born again and loved by Jesus despite my blasphemy. But... I just want it to stop. Why? Because I LOVE God. I don't want to think that God is Satan! I don't want to blaspheme God anymore! I keep praying for God to heal me but he just won't. I'm supposed to endure this torment. So I guess why I'm telling you all this is I'm wondering what can be done about it. Am I supposed to just ignore it and live with it? Or should I tell my psychiatrist the truth and see if she can help with it. But if it really is demons attacking me what can my psychiatrist do about it? I need Jesus! But Jesus does nothing but enjoy my suffering and torment! That's the only reason why he won't heal me until I die!

Lol. God doesn't take pleasure in death. He even turns away from His wrath to our enemies if we take too much pleasure in it. Remember, God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all. He does not change like shifting shadows. What will happen now is I'll bind them. If it is spirits, it'll cease. But a complete removal, or complete control of it, might not be in the will of God just as when Jesus commanded Legion to leave the first time and he didn't leave. He didn't leave because the discourse was meant to happen between him and Jesus. Later he left, but the automatic removal by the authority of the Son of God was overridden by the Father till all He wanted was accomplished. So if I do bind them, it'll be up to God.

If this is partly physical or all physical, it's best to tell your psychiatrist. Since you don't absolutely know the extent of it, don't give in to the lie that they can't help you. Why burn that bridge? Don't be silly. That could definitely be a ploy. Don't be fooled by it. Purse that avenue. But even if it ends up being both or neither, remember that any trial of faith is reward and to be considered joy. Some lose family members. Some lose the love of their lives. Some are cut in two. Some are outcast. Some are never meant to get anywhere socially. Some are hated and avoided, without friends. We all have our battles. If yours is meant to be this one, be encouraged. You will receive a crown for this, and more than that, God will save others through your perseverance. All we do is win. If Satan attacks you, you are blessed, because your obedience will prove more and more to the world that they need him, and God always rewards His workers.

I am schizophrenic also and suffer from the same delusions. I'm on Rexulti and it helps somewhat. But I still get demons and false Christ manifestations, he even looks like Christ from the pictures, beach boy Jesus with long blondish hair, which probably is not at all what Jesus looked like.

Long story short, I've been working with my doctor for 4-5 years now and tried several medications, most just made me sleepy and I couldn't get out of bed, but now Rexulti being the best yet, I'm active again and things are much better. Everyones brain chemistry is different so your doctor will have to determine your medication obviously as you work with them, but you must be honest with them so they can help.

The medication can lessen the delusions and manifestations and that is advisable here. Work with your doctor. Keep up hope and God bless. BTW my delusions are tolerable now and I just ignore them mostly, they're more quiet now from the Rexulti.

My psychiatrist currently has me on Rexulti actually. It helped at first with no side effects but then it stopped working. As if the demons got stronger. Have you been tried on other medications?

Yes I tried Risperdal, Geodon, Abilify, Vraylar and Invega. Geodon and Abilify gave me violent hallucinations for some reason, probably bad brain chemistry pairing. I'm on 4 mg of Rexulti now and it's working for me. Sorry to hear that your medication isn't performing the manifestations away. I'll pray for you.

I've been on vraylar too. My body didn't respond too well to Vraylar. In short it caused an episode. Thanks for the prayers they're appreciated.

My question is, How do you know that you have a schizophrenic side? If you do, I'm afraid that you probably have it for life, if God doesn't intervene miraculously. However, there are medications that help people control that horrible disease.

Next, Satan is probably using your illness as you describe to tempt you severely to blaspheme the three-Persons-in-one-God of the Bible. What is an answer when those temptations come to you? A very good answer is Jesus' perfect life resisting all temptations. Read the Gospels, and see how Jesus overcame Satan's temptations, first, in the desert, and second, as the religious leaders attacked him with their seemingly-innocent questions. They even accused him of blasphemy in claiming to be God, one Person of whom he was. Then, he willingly went to the cross after overcoming temptation in the Garden of Gethsemane. His death, among other blessings, helps us overcome our temptations. Finally, his resurrection gives us the new birth with his power through the Holy Spirit to resist Satan.

We can't at all resist the devil in our own strength, but in the power Jesus released in his life, death, and resurrection, we can. How? James 4:7b has God's command and promise for you, "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." In other words, every time those false thoughts come to you, say or think something like, "Father, I claim Jesus' victory over Satan and his temptations through his life, death, and resurrection to make the devil and demons flee from me," while thinking only of our mysterious God.

You might also read Paul's severe struggles with sin as a successful apostle in Romans 7:7-25. Keep reading Scripture in a good, easy-to-understand translation like the New International Version or the English Standard Version.

Neo, you are on my daily prayer list. Your brother in Jesus' love, Bruce Leiter.

The last words of your post echo demonic possession "won't heal ... until I die."

The secular world is inebriated with the occult and even the church is drunk on devil bashing. False religious promises suggest exorcism is the answer even as Hollywood churns out movies about it. The real problem is something else entirely.

Without examining your history and personal activities in detail, one can only guess at the reasons for your affliction. Generally there are two spiritual reasons; sin and flirtation with the occult. A physical reason may require a doctor's examination and treatment. If I were you I'd seek a doctor first rather than a religious con artist.

The following discussion addresses spiritual reasons - reasons that may NOT apply to your case.

Popular churches myth suggests a Christian can't be possessed. They also use the buzz word 'grace' to license their members to sin. Neither will yield spiritual liberty because both are wrong.

SIN on the part of a human is the primary cause and attraction of what the Bible calls "the power of sin". Call it possession or call it destructive habit or call it licentiousness, but whatever you call it the result is the same. Where sin abounds the power of sin descends like vultures dining on road kill.

Occult practice, especially among churches, is on the rise and ignorant Christians participate in dark matters without realizing what they're doing. Generally labeled New Age movement, ideology and icons and misdirected teaching as well as demonic music is insinuating itself into the church. For instance, one of the greatest purveyors of demonic show productions and music is an organization called Hillsong. One of the most insidious organizations that pretends to instruct leaders and members is IHOP - International House of Prayer. Check them out. Don't just protest my assertions.

REPENTANCE and humility before God are the only spiritual grounds to begin clean living before God. Following this one must adhere to the principles of decency. These things are generally laughed at even in established churches.....churches that are all riddled with financial debt and debauchery among the members.

My final visit to one Baptist church near my home was witness to a long sermon on grace. At the end of the sermon the preacher said, "go out and sin this week that grace may abound." Only a satanically inspired man could have uttered those words.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LICENSE TO SIN.

Not now. Not ever. Grace is meant to forgive past sins and allow a person to live the future according to the Law - thus pleasing to God. When Jesus encountered a woman caught in adultery He forgave her. His final words were to "go and sin no more". Jesus didn't tell her she could go out and open a brothel, but the church today would say that.

It is time to repent of sin. The hour is late and much evil is coming upon the world. Make peace with God while you can........

and stop blaming God for your own sin wickedness and maladies. Find a doctor and get treatment.

that's me, hollering from the choir loft...

No she hasn't tried that because I lied and told her that the thoughts went away. I see Her again in October though so I'll try suggesting that to her.

I know I have a schizophrenic side because I was diagnosed with scizo-affective disorder back in 2012. Which means that im both bipolar and schizophrenic. Thanks for the prayers if it helps your prayers any my name is Shane. You're probably right that I'm going to have to deal with this for the rest of my life. Hopefully it doesn't get too bad.

@Neostarwcc, it didn't occur to me in my first post, but it worth saying that the antidote to demonic problems is believing the Truth. This is something that God reveals in you as you grow in him. Some people believe you just need to command them to leave in Jesus name, and sometimes that works, but in my experience it hasn't worked when the footholds are embedded in the person's character, personality, or from physical damage—things that take a long time to heal or grow out of in the physical realm. Sometimes they will go away for while, but without the faith in the Truth that God gives in response to following Him, they can sometimes come back. Sometimes long-time faithful followers of Christ have a demon come out of them. IMO, it is because there was a foothold for the devil in the person's character or personality and they needed a lot of sanctification to get to the point where the spiritual foothold had been sanctified almost away. In the meantime, trust that God will use everything that happens to give you great and awesome things in the future. Great is the reward for simply staying faithful to the Lord through times of trouble or suffering.

I’m happy for you. Praise God!

So ever since becoming a Christian back in 2013 I've been haunted by thoughts along the lines of Jesus is Satan and the Holy spirit is Satan. Im told that these delusions are from the schizophrenic side of me by my psychiatrist and so far no medication has been able to get rid of these schizophrenic delusions. I lied and told my psychiatrist that these delusions have gone away because I don't think she can do anything about it. They haven't. Its like the devil is trying to attack me its like I'm being tormented by demons. Why!? Why won't Jesus heal me of this mental illness? There has to be a reason.

I mean... I know deep down in my heart that it isn't true. Jesus nor any other parts of God are demonic but why must I think these things every time I pray? Every time I try to get close to God. I keep reading John 6:37-40 over and over again looking for the "none are lost except for the crazy and insane Shane." But of course it isn't there. The only thing that's there is "despite this sin Shane is STILL one of my sheep and is still always and eternally saved." I mean... I'm honestly done believing that I'm committing the unforgivable sin. I'm just done worrying about that. Why? Because Jesus said that NO believer will be lost zip Nada zero. So I'm confident in my salvation.E specially when I saw myself be born again. I KNOW I'm born again and loved by Jesus despite my blasphemy. But... I just want it to stop. Why? Because I LOVE God. I don't want to think that God is Satan! I don't want to blaspheme God anymore! I keep praying for God to heal me but he just won't. I'm supposed to endure this torment. So I guess why I'm telling you all this is I'm wondering what can be done about it. Am I supposed to just ignore it and live with it? Or should I tell my psychiatrist the truth and see if she can help with it. But if it really is demons attacking me what can my psychiatrist do about it? I need Jesus! But Jesus does nothing but enjoy my suffering and torment! That's the only reason why he won't heal me until I die!

The devil obviously used this attack initially to get you to think that you were blaspheming the Holy Spirit. In an attempt to separate you from God. He is still bombarding you with it, his hope being you will submit to his fear. If a demon is ignored for long enough they usually go away. That has been my experience anyway. I would suggest that if you have the thought, don't blame yourself, just say internally, oh it is only the devil, then ignore it. While the devil knows it causes you grief he will continue. Once you are confident of your position in Christ, he will leave. You can take authority over the thought, the blood of Jesus gives you access to power. But that power is activated by faith, remember Peter sunk under the water when he doubted, we are the same if we doubt we have power, we fall under the devils attack. But know you do have power, you have power in Christ. Sometimes when I am fighting a devil, it will persist, stay there, trying to test my faith, but if you persist long enough, standing in your authority as a believer it will leave, it must leave.

Do that. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you think may help you.

I’ll be praying for you. You and Jesus can do this!

Yeah I see her again in October so I'll definitely tell her about it. Maybe she can stick me on another antipsychotic or increase my rexulti dose since its not giving me any side effects. I don't see the point in making my insurance pay for a drug that isn't helping in the long run.

If it is the devil attacking me and not my mental illness I'll do that. Maybe after a while he will leave me alone.
