Christianity and psychic attacks

[Shadow Wolf]

I like the way you put that. Very insightful. PS. It's a he.

Only insightful if you want to believe nonsense and make false assumptions about me.
Which you both are doing a fine job of. Though shalt not bear false witness, but you claim it's "very insightful" to claim I'm "preaching atheist."
Amd if I am, report me because thats against the rules.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

He or she is on point. They replied to your claim logically, whether the argument is correct or not, and you're preaching atheism as if you were paid to sell it.

And to point out how far off base you are, I was sharing personal dealings with the same mentality and self defeating thoughts like the OP is dealing with. That's not "preaching atheism."

Like I just heard the voice of a woman in my mother’s native language saying your crazy, your crazy! They also say we warned you! We warned you! If I told you what I’m going through on a daily basis you would not believe me.


I am a member of the Christian Faith. I believe in Christianity. But I’m new to the forum and wouldn’t know how to contact the administrators. How do I put the request in. I already choose Christian when I signed up. I’m confused.

You can always ask any staff member. .. you will see who is staff, by their profile, and they can give you some pointers.
For example, you can just do something like... @Rival and you can follow that with your question.

You should get a response, but I understand that there was an adjustment with the religious DIRs, so that if you are Catholic, you can post in the Catholic DIR, and so on, but I, a JW, would not be able to post in that DIR.

Do you think Exorcism is necessary for you? If you make an effort to "clean house" that is remove items from your home, that may be connected to spiritism, and disassociate yourself from anything to do with those practices, and earnestly ask God for his help, don't you think you can be free?

Humans are not meant to hear voice other than from another living human.

Science says brain changes causes voice to be heard artificially.

The victims always mistreated.

I learnt that our parents were spiritual loving kind caring equal and came from unconditional love.

So we don't need false preaching about our natural loving life.

A healthy diet and vitamin intake helps. Peaceful meditations. Loving caring humanity. Believing that you are an extremely strong spirit family member. By knowledge we are loved.

Love your strength. And try your best choices. If not successful seek medical help as they can re balance your imbalanced brain chemistry also and block out the voice.

So this is actually pretty solid advice. I like it.

I'd just add regular exercise to the healthy diet and vitamin intake. Doing those few things, that can be very easy and simple steps to take, can go very far in our mental health. And any mental health professional worth the ink their degree is printed on will encourage these things, and there are tremendous amounts of studies and evidence to back the claim it does a lot of to help us physically and mentally.
It won't solve or help everything and anything, but that should be our first line approach for optimal health.

Spot on. It's worth more than many folks think.

Definitely. We are what we eat, and our body--our temple--can only be as good as we let it. Diet, nutrition, and exercise are essential for a healthy mind and body. And tragically it's just not universally accepted that the healthier the body the healthier the mind, and the healthier the mind the healthier the body. Of course it can only go so far, and stuff happens, but for people healthy and ill the wise thing is to mind your diet, nutrition, and exercise. Chronic pain, depression, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, anxiety, those three simple steps help with all that and more and lay a solid foundation for working on improving ailments and conditions that may need further intervention (and if it needs surgery, your surgeon will pleased if you regularly exercise and have well used muscles because it makes you a better candidate and your recovery will very likely be much easier).
This is so important it's incredible anyone ignores it or downplays it. Religious or otherwise, this one is crucial.

I can't see a premise for a comparison there. It's just sad that you might actualy tell someone you're neutral and believe in it. At least be honest. As soon as a person expresses dislike of religion they can no longer claim neutrality.

Yes, do be honest about your false claims against me. Go ahead! Admit it!
I have never denied being an anti-Christ or pretended otherwise. I don't pretend any love for the Abrahamic religions or their blood thirsty god. But these Abrahamics are so self-centered thinking everything revolves around them they assume that any criticism against their religion means religion as whole and entirely. Very commonly they are so flippant in this they assume anyone who offers these criticisms is an atheist (typically incorrectly).
So now it's your time for honesty. I made no remarks hostile or accusatory towards any religion, but you jumped in with others to try to take a cheap shot at me when I am trying discuss self defeating thoughts with someone. You jumped on a bandwagon so eager and willing to attack my statements were even misrepresented.
So lets hear it. At least be honest.

Ok, I would see shadow people at night. When I pray these things go away. For example my son was sleeping next to me. And I saw a shadow person standing at the feet of the bed where he was and he began to shake. When I woke him up he said he was having a nightmare. So I told him to rebuke it and go back sleep and to sleep closer to me. When he fell back asleep I saw the shadow figure again and it was standing directly in front of my son and he began to shake and when I woke him up he said he was having a nightmare about drowning. So I’m not crazy! I’m seeing what I’m seeing and experiencing what I’m experiencing. I’ve gone to doctors and they can’t help. They think I’m mentally ill but I know I have common sense and nothing is wrong with my physical brain. This is so attack. I just want to know would God do this to someone if he was unhappy with them. Or is this the curse of Cain on my life Genesis 4:14 because people hate me.

Did the shadow try to harm you?

This is no pun. This made me think of Six Sense Movie:

Malcolm Crowe : Do you know what "Yo no quiero morir" means? It's Spanish. It means "I don't want to die." What do you think these ghosts want when they talk to you? I want you to think about it, Cole. I want you to think about it really carefully.

Cole Sear : Just help.

Malcolm Crowe : That's right. That's what I think too. They just want help, even the scary ones. I think I might know a way to make them go away.

Cole Sear : How?

Malcolm Crowe : Listen to them.

Cole Sear : What if they don't want help? What if they're just angry and they just want to hurt somebody?

Malcolm Crowe : I don't think that's the way it works.

Cole Sear : How do you know for sure?

Malcolm Crowe : I don't.

My mother sees shadows (or spirits) all the time practically daily. She talks to them and sometimes just laugh and more curious about what she sees. She tells me about her co-workers and how they reacted to the same thing. One time she and her friend saw a spirit coming towards them in the car. I was in the backseat and missed it. Sometimes I feel things or so have you, but honestly, I don't believe they are there to harm you.

With that in mind, you can pray for solace but I don't think you're crazy.

Maybe, if they are spirits (not sure what shadows are in this context) listen to them.

Good Afternoon;

I have been going through this for a few months now. To give you some background information I was introduced to Horoscopes at a young age around 5 years old. When I became a teenager I would look up my horoscope everyday. I eventually gave my life to Jesus Christ but backslide after six years. When I backslide I got into Psychic, thirdeye and a few other things. I have now repented and gave my life to Jesus Christ. And I'm serious this is for life. I don't want to have anything to do with Satan and his Kingdom. I'm done! But lately I have been coming under alot of attacks. For examle I would be driving along the road and the devil would be calling me names. People just hate me for no reason. But I don't know if this is from my past of tapping into psychic powers. I keep having nightmares and I feel like God hates me or Satan really hates me. Any help?

Hello Ruthexex,

Guilt... is the hardest moral throw back to deal with.
God has forgiven you your past and now the devil has to let go. Truth is the way forward and release from your past.
The word says that God does not remember your sins when forgiven.
Jeremiah 31:34
No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more."

God has forgotten the backsliding and all the things you remember are your old life. In Christ you are a new creation but Satan would have you believe he is powerful enough to alter the new way you are secure in Christ.

Jesus said:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

God does not hate you and as for Satan he no longer has any hold over you. Your free because God has set you free. Yes I do understand these things and how dreadful and menacing they can be. Talk to your priest, vicar or pastor, they will help you and stand on the word of God. Take your authority over these things and tell the voice/satan to leave you alone in the name of Jesus.
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:


17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.


18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

Get into the word and ask God to open your mind to scripture and stand firm in your knowledge of truth. Evil has no dominion over you and God not only forgave you, your sin and wiped it away he no longer remembers them. You are not the only believer to witness these things. But God will bring you through them.
