Me and my roommate have not been getting along
So out of the blue she brings home a voodoo
And place it on the cabinet facing my bed..Every since I can't sleep 💤 at all..Im a born again Christian and I believe in Jesus Christ and I'm truly covered in the blood.
But I kno that the devil is real as well so I need to put a stop to this crazy energy WITHOUT ANY RITUALS ARE SPEELS
Dragonflymagic answered Tuesday November 24 2015, 5:27 pm: I wonder if part of this 'not getting along' is due to your Christian beliefs and feeling you have nothing in common with her. Remember the Bible says we can be in the world but not part of it. Christians can tend to also take that concept over the edge, raising their children in such a secluded state that they have little experience with how to get along with those of different faiths, beliefs, once out on their own. It is then true culturew shock for Christians. my belief is: It really is the Holy Spirits job to reach a person if they are at a place in their life of seeking a new path of belief. Your only job would be to be yourself with whatever you do as a Christian, praying and reading your bible, and whatever you do, do not force anything on your roommate. The fastest way to open the communication lines and get along is for you to take a moment and decide to ask questions of her, like interviews done by Barbara Walters with any celebrities. She has no agenda and simply asks questions of a person without stating her opinions of what they say or believe as being right or wrong. God never treated you that way and never will, so we shouldn't either, however In the many churches I've been in, what I am sharing is only rarely taught. It should be universal. So my suggestion is to find time to ask your roommate what that doll is all about, if its voodoo. aSk if she tends to lean towards voodoo or just paganism, or some other faith. If you show interest without condemnation or trying to immediately chose to share about your faith, then you will shut her friendliness down and it could became quite bad rooming together. Why not try to live in peace together. I have friends who were pagan and I have learned much of pagan beliefs. Pagan used to mean 'the unchurched'. Pagan's are not Satanists, thats something totally different. Voodoo, I don't know much about but here's your opportunity to interview her and show her that you really are listening.
Want to feel more protected before you do? Visualize yourself as being in the center of something that looks like a soap bubble, clear, it moves with you but it actually a forcefield of Gods protection. It keeps out evil but allows anything that is good to enter in.
You may just find that a friend gave her the doll as a keepsake of their friendship or this is her way of feeling protected from you, from preventing a forceful attempt to convert her.
And now I want to share a piece of psychology about our subconscious minds. The subc. mind (SM) is where all our emotions are stored and come from. Our SM is also much like our inner child, more easily scared, upset. The SM is what controls our taking our next breath or blinking our eyes without having to think about it on purpose. The SM is like another you, inside you. It wishes to see you happy and the only problem is, that whatever you tend to dwell on most or fear the most, the SM interprets as it being something very important to you that you want. So what you are afraid of, your SM will try to make it come true. Example: the woman who fears getting raped someday, and that fear is constant on her mind, her SM will cause her to make a bad decision to walk somewhere not safe one day, almost like forcing and tempting something bad to happen. Do it enough times and what you fear will happen to you. Yes, God protects us. But we were also given a free will and so He will not step in and protect us from ourselves or mainly (our fears) We were made in Gods image and to me that means attributes of both Jesus and the Holy Spirit can be found (Jesus) in men and the Holy Spirit, more in women. We can't create on the level of God but our souls as his children have the ability to create on some level and this is one of them. That all said, I believe that the reason I have known so many Christians plagued by ghosts, devil or demonic looking beings is more likely not due to what some one else with evil intent sent upon them, but actually created by their own subconscious minds. Since my thoughts were never focused on the devil but only on Jesus and Holy Spirit, I never had a problem with oppression or any evil done against me. I recall one day having a friend confess they were so angry at me that they had been trying to verbally conjure a spell to hurt me. I looked surprised and said, Really?" I did not feel threatened which made the person explain further. The reason they were telling me is because it was a supernatural event to them. An angel appeared and told them they could not allow this person (who did unbeknownst to me at the time, dabble in black arts magic) to set a bad spell against me. This person was not a pagan but a former Catholic of all things. It was good to hear that God and his angels will protect me from any real possible unknown spiritual attackes without me having to worry about it or focus on it. YOur very fear of something non Christian may actually bring that evil into your life by the strength of your thoughts. From what I have learned, most people only want to be able to live their beliefs in peace without someone telling them they are wrong. If your teacher at school or a boss at work was constantly pointing out only what is wrong with what you are doing, you'd not want to be anywhere near them and no longer wish to work there or be in that class. People feel the same. If you can be loving and accepting of her for where she is at right now and just be your lovely self, perhaps she may be more open to asking you to tell her about your faith. I have found many who truly do know quite a lot of the Christian faith having been there before but now walk a path that is broader spiritually, more accepting but has nothing to do with Satan or demons. Just try to talk to her and meet her where she's at. If you are willing to allow her to have a voodoo doll in the room, but place it elsewhere where you can't see it, then she will learn to respect you. Unless for some reason she is instantly antagonistic towards you only because she knows you are a Christian, I see no reason to have to g0 through channels to get a new roommate.
