Demons Speak to ME!

[Oliver_from_Perth]

Hey Everyone. The title of this thread is to get your attention!

But Demons do speak to me.

Recently I have come back to Jesus. I have been backslidden for many years. In the last couple of months I have turned back to Jesus and I feel closer to Him than I ever have. I pray in tongues every day to strengthen my spirit.

So because my spirit is stronger, I can sense what is happening spiritually. I seem to get attacked spiritually. This comes in the form of thoughts. I find myself having thoughts that I KNOW are not from a holy source. Most of my life I have been accepting these thoughts, and letting them swim around in my head.

Now I understand the power of Jesus, I can see I have been given power to speak his name and command the demonds to leave me.

The demons try and persuade me to sin. They try and convince me it is ok to touch. They try and convince me I need a girlfriend to be happy. They try and convince me sex is the answer to my happiness. They try and convince me to look at pornography. They even try and tell me I am worthless and just a dirty sinner.

I can distinguish the voices of these demons now that my spirit is strengthened and I say NO! In Jesus name be gone!






I thought I would share this, in the hope there are others out there who understand what I am talking about.

Hi

The only thing I have to say to you is that you need to be delivered from these demons.

Ive been sufffering from demonic attacks in the form of really bad anxiety and panic attacks and nothing ever worked to get rid of them, until i got delivered from all my demons and filled with the holy spirit. They are still there on the out side waiting for you to muck up but they are easier to deal with when they arnt inside you.

The sad thing is that not many churches these days practice deliverance.

Try find one that does

Sinless_angels I am a Christian. I received the holy spirit when I was saved. But demonic attacks still occur, especially towards Christians. I have no demons INSIDE me. They are on the OUTSIDE attacking me.

I just wanted to see how many other Christians can relate to what I am saying, it would encourage me alot...

 

[Codeman]

You sound normal to me! If you are not getting attacked, thats when you know something is wrong!

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

Yeah, the Devil doesn't try to break non-Christians, he's already got them.

The very fact that the Devil is trying to mess with you both verifies the existance of God and re-confirms that you're on the right path or he wouldn't be trying to stop you.

So, in a strange way, it's a compliment that demons speak to you, they're scared.

 

[sal_83]

I know what you mean with the thoughts... that's the devil's biggest weapon, it all starts with a little thought...and it becomes a problem when we begin to entertain this thought, because it grows until we start to act upon it. I would say just be aware of your weaknesses, know what they are because then you can identify the devil straight away when he tries to get you into sin. Also, another great thing is being accountable to someone, find someone you can talk to about this. Get it into the light, which you are already doing! The devil loves keeping things hidden, so always carry a torch!

 

[boilerblues]

Spiritual warfare is something I've been seeing in my life and the lives of the people in my church a lot lately. That's why I pointed out the Ephesians 6 passage, that's how we protect ourselves against the demons. Just saying "I'm a Christian" won't scare the devil away, we have to put on the full armor of God. Because our flesh likes to cooperate with the devil's schemes, we have to put the flesh to death and live by the Spirit.

 

[pegatha]

I pray in tongues every day to strengthen my spirit.

Oliver, it's so encouraging that you're standing up to all the temptations you're facing, but it almost sounds like you're relying primarily on tongues to protect and edify you. Are you also spending lots of time in the Word every day, studying, taking notes, discussing your reading with other, more mature Christians? If you are new to studying the Bible, you might try something that helped me. I started reading a chapter or so from the New Testament each day, making special note of whatever it said about God Himself. His attributes, His power, what He wants from us and for us, etc. And also specifically what it has to say about each Person of the Trinity. Demons are real and they do attack, but your focus should always be on God, not on demons. Remember that your only strength is in Him.

 

[Spyk]

One thing to remember...
I know that Demons are real but do not glorify them in any way. You need your armour on every day. What we have to kno is that this is a real battle, check this :

Book Of Ephesians: Chapter 6, Verse 11 & 12 :
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.



If you feel you come under any kind of attack. Rebuk ein the name of Jesus.. He didnt hang on that cross fo rno reason. Read the bible, pray, worship praise. Everythign you need to do to grab up your victory in God.
Please do realize that Satan isnt going to lose souls just like that.. He will attack your every weakness.

Keep Well and God Reign.
Your Bro In Christ

Spyk.

This is coming from a Charismatic Point of view- so please be aware- If you don't agree about speaking in tongues, or spiritual warafare- just skip my post...and go on...

Speaking in tongues is a tool against satan. I don't care what you believe- because Satan cannot understand tongues, and it drives him up the wall. I say, what you are doing is great- stay in the spirit. Pray in the Spirit.

Demons are pitiful. They are pip-squeaks compared to the awesome power we have in God's Kingdom. We are strong against them, and they have no chance. Demons try to make us think that they are bigger than they are. I have had several physical attacks from Demons in the past year- One time I was alone in my apartment, and one came and laughed his head off at me-I physically saw it- at my door way and then it ran away. Another time, One grabbed my shoulder and laughed in my face again. And then another time, three of my friends physically heard a banging in our room- and spiritually felt the climate of the room change. So I know first hand, they do exist. And they try to scare and intimidate- but it's crazy. At first when the came, it was scary. Now it gets on my nerves, and it robs my sleep.

Let's don't give the demonic authority- they are meaningless- and our God defeats them hands down.

Keep on pressing on, Resist the Devil and he will flee from you!

Dave.

I totally agree with that advice sister. Amen.

Oliver,

It is important to distinguish between a demonic attack and your own fleshly man speaking to you. I will say this boldly. I preach a big God and a defeated devil. The only power the devil has over you, is power you give him. And this of course includes demons as well. The problems you face are common to every man, both Christian and non. It is our fleshly carnal mind speaking to us. And our flesh is our biggest enemy, not the devil. That is why it is so important to renew your mind daily with the Word of God. Because this builds up the new man, and kills the old Adamic nature of your old man.

Now I do believe a demon can talk to you, but again in is subject the name of Christ and must go. Don't expect a struggle like most talk about when taking command over a demon. Know that it must flee immediately upon your command in Jesus name. Anoint your house, walls, doorposts, doors, closets with anointing oil. Being led by the Holy Spirit as you make your way through your home. Then once you have sealed your home in prayer and in the blood of the Lamb, and symbollically with the anointing oil, ask him to help you lay down your old nature, and to strengthen the new creation inside of you. Remember that the Living God dwells inside of you.

And I fully agree with pegatha's advice. Praying in tongues (utterance of the Spirit) is much needed. But don't stop there. Tongues is the Holy Spirit making intercession for you for the things it knows you need. It is the Word of God that will truly bring life to your soul. And give you wisdom for overcoming your situation. Be blessed dear brother!

Demons are weak and pittiful? Superdave i am not a charasmatic, but i do realize demons are strong. they are not as powerful as Christ, or God. that does not mean they are weak and we can beat them back. study demonology outside of your charastmatic thinking and you will realize this. i have known a few people who where possed by demons and willingly let it happen. they since have returned to the Lord, still its scary to even consider how powerful they can be. The devil is not as powerful as Christ, and its when you start thinking that you are stronger than him that he really has you warped. Christ has made us more than conqueers that doesnt mean we pradraid it around. Demons do not have to just attack you, they attack people around you, they use people to attack you. its a large area i would hope that you really dont believe that demons are weak. i will pray for you.

 

[SOLDOUT4HIM]

All of these things are excellent! Another way you can fight him is to began to sing praise and worship songs that glorify Christ. Satan hates this and it will get your mind focused on Jesus. Don't only read your Bible (which is vitally important), begin to memorize important scriptures and when the enemy begins to attack you quote scripture. The Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. Jesus used this tactic when Satan tried to tempt Him. If Jesus did it it will work. Memorize Eph. 6 and quote it over yourself every day. We have to stay equipped against the evil one. I'll be praying for you. Continue to pray in tounges, God'll show you His ways. God Bless you. I'll be praying for victory for you. We serve Jehovah Nissi, Our God our Banner. We shall be victorious in Jesus' name!

Demons may be strong in a physical sense, but spiritually they are only as strong as you let them be. Christ was given all authority and we are His Body.

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."


​

Now notice the phrase "all authority" as you read that scripture. The Greek word used for all is pas (Strongs#: G3956) which can be interpreted as the whole, all, any, every... Now look at the Greek word for authority which is exousia (Strongs#: G1849) which means power, strength, right...


So you see looking at either the original Greek text or looking in the Webster's dictionary will show you that all power and all strength has been given to Christ. If all power and strength belongs to Christ, then what power and strength does that leave demons. Absolutely none. So I don't understand the teaching that demons are strong beings. Spiritually they are not, and it is the spirit realm that counts. No matter how strong they may feel, you always have authority over them through Christ. We must remember that...

1 John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and you have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Selah.

 

[vibrant]

yeah, selah, i agree, but the devil is the father of lies and a master deceiver.

 

[Souljah777JV]

Well I fully agree with that vibrant. Well said, and glad you agree with my post. One of the biggest deceptions running rampant in the church today is the deception that the devil and his demons are poweful. It is a false teaching, and one aimed at keeping Christians in fear.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.



​

You see that teaching literally directs Christians to be afraid of demons. But we see in the scripture above that our God did not burden us with a "spirit of fear" but rather gave us one of "power"... This immediately exposes this teaching to be not of God. Too many Christians tiptoe around the devil because they lack the understanding that Jesus Christ ripped all power away from him. The word Christian has atleast two meanings that I am aware of. One being followers after Christ and the other being empowered ones. You see we must begin to perceive that we are empowered ones.






The Word of God even gives us this further encouragement:

Luke 10:17-20 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through Your name. {18} And He said to them, I saw Satan fall from Heaven like lightning. {19} Behold, I give to you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the authority of the enemy. And nothing shall by any means hurt you. {20} Yet do not rejoice in this, that the evil spirits are subject to you, rather rejoice because your names are written in Heaven.​

I think that portion of scripture pretty much lays it out for us. The Lord has given us authority over demons in His name. It is important though that we don't make this an infatuation. We can not solely dwell on this fact, we also remember the joy of our salvation and seek to serve the Lord is as many ways as possible.

 

[Rivard]

If it makes you feel better, I can relate 100%.

Stay firm!

 

[SoulFly51]

Speaking in tongues is a tool against satan. I don't care what you believe- because Satan cannot understand tongues, and it drives him up the wall. I say, what you are doing is great- stay in the spirit. Pray in the Spirit.

I'm curious. I'm a fairly new Christian, and I was wondering where it says in the Bible that Satan cannot understand tongues or prayers said in tongues?

 

[Untamed Fire]

It is important to distinguish between a demonic attack and your own fleshly man speaking to you. I will say this boldly ... The problems you face are common to every man, both Christian and non. It is our fleshly carnal mind speaking to us. And our flesh is our biggest enemy, not the devil. That is why it is so important to renew your mind daily with the Word of God. Because this builds up the new man, and kills the old Adamic nature of your old man.

This is the soundest and most intelligent word on this subject in the entire thread. The one who posted it could (in my opinion) have just stopped there and it would have been sufficient, for this is the crux of the matter. Even sorcery is listed as a "work of the flesh". Think about it.

Jesus said "the Prince of this world cometh and findeth nothing in Me." The flesh is the biggest enemy because the flesh cannot be "cast out" but remains inside us, part of us, and whether we are controlled by Satan or demons is entirely dependent (conditional, predicated) on what we do with that flesh and what state it is in, or rather what state we are in with regard to it.

For me it is far more effective NOT to pray "Lord please deliver me from these demons controlling and making chaos in my mind" (which is ludicrous -- why would I want to Lie to God??? He can see right through me!!!) but rather, "Lord please deliver me from this sick, perverse yearning and need I have to be controlled by Satan; from this filthy pleasure I take in madness and degradation; from this abomination of pride in my affliction; from this unholy lust and my need to be consumed by it; and from the real affliction which I cannot see nor comprehend, the one that makes me like this in the first place." (Or something like that -- it's more real when it's being wrenched from my gut in repentance than when I'm trying to recreate it secondhand in a post on the internet.)

Of course that's just me; I'm different from most people, but the point, the principle, is the same. Even those who are actually being demonized for real do not need an "exorcism" half so much as the level of healing, work, and fortification that will place them where they will never need an "exorcism" again. We don't need a policeman to escort a thief from the home nearly as much as we need an effective set of locks and a reliable security system that will keep thieves OUT.

The power of faith that can move mountains is a top-down progression. From on high comes the creative and regenerative Word of the Almighty, our Father, Maker, Redeemer, Brother and Friend. It enters the Spiritual aspect of ourselves and builds us up there; the result which naturally manifests on down the line is subsequent and concurrent healing and re-creative power affecting the aims, intents, thoughts, desires, focus, and so on down until finally stubborn old behavior, the most gravity-laden and bodily in the chain, is affected.

If any of the (spiritually) Sighted in our midst can truly discern by the Spirit of God any Truth in what I have detailed above, would you please pray that our gracious Father would permit it to become real for me, and allow me to enter it? I believe wanting to be delivered from a condition of welcoming, even craving bondage and not desiring deliverance from it, is a form of actually desiring deliverance, is it not? Thank you.
