Could I be attacked by evil spirits/demons? Maybe possessed?
Question Posted Tuesday February 25 2014, 2:33 pm
A few days ago I went to sleep over my grandmothers house (Im going to sound like a crazy person right now, but whatever), Around 5 am I was laying on her couch and I started to hear somebody talk to me in my head. There was something I was feeling guilty about that time and that voice told me that he forgave me and that it was alright and I thought it was God at first. But after a while that voice became really annoying and when I started to doubt if it was God it became really scary. I would feel really heavy and started to hear more voices talking. I was in total panic because I had heard scary stories about people being possessed and killing others. And I was really afraid that my body was possessed too and would move out of itself. I suddenly started thinking of knives and all that and my family who was sleeping. I started clinging to the couch and keep holding on to it and tried to keep still. And when my leg suddenly began to spasm I freaked out. It felt like something jumped through my body and I got scared. And well at the end I started crying.
I then prayed to Jesus and asked if he could please help me get rid of the voices. When I stopped praying I heard one voice say 'Im still here' and I went on with praying. Then I called my mom to come get me because I was too scared and my grandma wouldn't wake up , when my mom came I got into the car and I heard angry growling & demon voices. I was so scared that I didn't tell my mom cause she wouldn't believe me. They've gotten worse.
I've been hearing voices on and off since I was 10 yrs old but now they're worse. I see shadows (not people's shadows) all of the time.
I probably sound like a lunatic but I swear this story is true. I have no reason to make this up since I don't gain anything from making myself look like Im crazy. I keep hearing scary demonic voices and I'm scared. I hear angry screaming and weird noises. I even saw a cloud of black smoke floating by me when I was in the living room. When I close my eyes sometimes I heard angry demonic voice too and I know I'm not mentally ill.

It is very rare for this type of spiritual warfare to take place. If however, it is then I have a couple of questions for you. You prayed to Jesus when you were scared. Are you a Christian? If so, then you need to know that you have the Holy Spirit living in you and demons cannot reside where the Holy Spirit resides. This means they are not in you but possibly are around you, taunting you. Have you or your family (this could be as far back as your great great grandparents) ever been involved in satanism or witchcraft or any other dark spiritual stuff?
Don't be afraid of them. They have no power over you. You can speak to them, tell them to leave you alone, that you're not listening to them anymore and you aren't afraid of them. I know this sounds kind of stupid but I know what you're going through if this is a spiritual issue.
I don't think you're crazy :)
If you need to talk you can msg me. [ twist's advice column | Ask twist A Question ]

I used to attend church and I know darn well how focused they are on the negative and fear based thinking. While I attended church I ran into so many people who experienced what they called hauntings, seeing things, being scared by unseen or seen forces feeling evil presence, etc....
However, since leaving the church, I have run into many many who believe in God, Jesus, angels, or a higher power and not a single one is being plagued by demons or evil? Wanna know why? Because they aren't daily or weekly focusing on stories meant to scare us into being good so we dont go to hell. I know many who believe in Jesus but don't follow the stories of Hell, Devil, demons or demonic attack. YOu see, what our minds constantly take in and dwell on in fear, we will draw to us like a magnet simply because of the focus on it.
I have to share this next bit in case there is a chance that this is going on for you. I'd be remiss if I did not. Your statement: "I have no reason to make this up since I don't gain anything from making myself look like Im crazy." is the thought process of a normal sane person. But here goes:
There's always the chance that though you feel normal to yourself, that you may have developed schizophrenia which is the one condition I know of where people can have hallucinations seeing things that look quite real and have tactile hallucinations in which you also feel things that seem real. I had a brother who was schizophrenic. He has all the different levels of it. When the parents invited him to church, I noticed that the depressive subject of hell and devil and such influenced what his mind hallucinated and it went from seeing friendly people to seeing devils and demons and believing the devil lived inside of every woman except for me his sister. So if you try what i suggest you do later here and it doesnt help, you may want to have the parents take you to get checked out.
What if I told you there was no such thing as Hell. Its only the Christians that believe in it. In the early stages of Christianity certain leaders of power wanted more power and believed if the masses all came under the control of the religious authority of the day, they'd have great power.
I could go into telling you how the church imitated pagan holidays, (pagan meaning:not attending a christian church/it did not mean the people didn't believe in God) just trust that it was a carefully thought out plan to gain eventual total control through Christianity. So how did they convince people whose ancestors for thousands of years believed differently?
What motivated the people to change over to Christianity? Planting doubts and fears in their mind.
So the whole story of Hell was created to scare people into accepting Jesus as savior because if they didn't they'd go to Hell. Did Jesus come to earth...Yes. Was it to die for our sins? No. Did he die on a cross, Yes, because he knew his job He came to do was done. Aren't you curious now as to his original reason for coming?
I have been led by God to read certain books so I can decide for myself what is real and what is a bunch of garbage or waste of the. There are many paths to the same conclusion of coming to belief in God. We may have one part of it right and the rest still believe wrong but God is ecstatic that we have got the one piece right and will work with us within the construct of what we currently believe whether completely right or not.
Since you are in a spot of immediate need without the leisure to go read and discover it all yourself right now, I will share some basics for now that I want you to study later on your own and learn to think for yourself and decipher what is true and what is not with the help of God who resides inside you.
God does not sit with a judgement book and decide who goes to hell or not.
Reincarnation is real and Hell is not.
There is no time limit by which we must come to know Jesus as Gods son and God as the heavenly Father. We have as long as it takes us. We get to resist as long as we care to. But eventually with enough time, we begin to learn and grow as souls with each life we live on earth which is the classroom of our souls.
So there is no Hell, there is no Devil running around on the loose, so where do these dark entities come from?
Most of us have the same ability to create with our minds as God does and the humans who are choosing to walk a path in the opposite direction of God will collectively create these negative dark entities that are real because they were created by our thought. We underestimate our capabilities as Gods kids. Few of us realize we have the ability to create healing energies and heal a person who is open to being healed or on the other hand to create dark energies without most of us aware that we did it, how we did it nor how to undo it.
So how to be protected from and go on the defensive regarding what plagues you?
1. Focus your mind on your Angels. Sometimes angels will act without being asked to protect but the majority of the time, they are waiting to hear orders from you, be given a specific job before they will do so. The instant you picture them doing whatever you asked and pictured in your mind, it is being done. Use your angels to protect you whereever you go, to stand guard over your house and property. If you're having trouble feeling they are as real as the negative things you see and hear, then Give your angels names and picture in your mind what they look like, they can look as individual as humans do.
2. You can also place a shield around yourself, what your visualize in your mind with your eyes closed will be real even though you can't see it. See yourself surrounded by a clear bubble that nothing bad can penetrate. Like being in a giant soap bubble but this is not fragile like a soap bubble, nothing or dark energies can enter to mess with you. Even though you can't see it, the dark energies can, and like magic, they can not penetrate it because it was created by a child of light. Darkness can not enter or live where there is Light. You know that from the Bible.
3. Restructure your thoughts. You'llwill have to work on your negative thought patterns because they have contributed to your problem.
Maybe this mental picture will help. Remember everything King Midas touched turned to gold? It's like that with your mind, everything you think, you create.
The moment you worry and think about what if it doesn't work and something growls at me or I see something, then capture that thought. Talk to it:
"Negative thought, I am kicking you out. There is no place for you here. I replace you with..." and replace it with whatever seems right like thoughts of how the angels are filling the very space you're standing in and multiplying in number until they're packed like sardines in a can, so many that there is no room for dark energies and those energies are being pushed out of the room. Retraining your negative thought pattern will take some time so the first few days you may have to replace scary thoughts every other minute. It'll be a pain in the butt but you have got to do it if you want things to get better. Eventually these bad thoughts and the fears that come with them won't come as often and soon will be gone and the bad energies with them.
If you dont believe in your own ability to have these powers of your mind heres a little test for you. Go look up some pictures first on the internet of what our aura, and our energy field looks like. Our aura has different colors depending on what we have been experiencing in life, a recent sadness will show in the colors, if you are a teacher or artist at heart, these traits will show in certain colors in your aura. When you are consumed by negative feelings, like the guilt you mentioned that started the last attack, perhaps low self esteem, self hate, unforgiveness, jealousy, anger, shame, fear these things will show in your aura as clearly as the Matador waving a red cloth at a bull to get the bull to come attack him. Its like a blinking flashing light for dark energies, they see it and they are drawn to it like moths drawn to a flame.
When I was first learning I did this experiment with my energy field. Other people can feel your energy field. Ever come to stand close to someone and they back away to put distance between you and them? They are overly sensitive and can't handle the input of your energies and so automatically their body backs away. Some peoples energies we are attracted to and they feel good.
So heres the experiment you can try so you can come to a place of believing in your power to picture and create with your mind.
I read that a person can visualize pulling their energy field all the way in side their skin so it no longer extends several feet around the body. this energy field is what people feel when you give them a hug too. Without telling a friend who liked to hug that I was doing this, I visualized pulling in my energy and then gave her the hug. Her immediate response was "Whats wrong? Are you mad at me? Is something bothering you." I laughed and told her what I'd done and pictured in my mind my aura and energy field being released back out to its normal reach several feet beyond my body.
I hope this helps you a lot. I am picturing two burly looking angelic warriors that look much like the fierce Scottish Highland warriors on each side of you. They will remind you to use your mind in positive ways. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
angelaemily answered Wednesday February 26 2014, 3:12 am: I'm not an expert in this stuff, but you may have schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is is a brain disorder that affects the way a person acts, thinks, and sees the world. People with schizophrenia have an altered perception of reality, often a significant loss of contact with reality. They may see or hear things that don’t exist, speak in strange or confusing ways, believe that others are trying to harm them, or feel like they’re being constantly watched.
These are the symptoms:
Social withdrawal
Hostility or suspiciousness
Deterioration of personal hygiene
Flat, expressionless gaze
Inability to cry or express joy
Inappropriate laughter or crying
Depression
Oversleeping or insomnia
Odd or irrational statements
Forgetful; unable to concentrate
Extreme reaction to criticism
Strange use of words or way of speaking
If you have any of those symptoms, then that may be it. I apologize beforehand if it isn't.
If it isn't, there's tons of sites on the paranormal. I read something about 'shadow people' before, you might wanna look that up. But I personally don't believe in that sort of stuff.
