Hi there I have recently been waking with very bright red scratches on my arm. I find it impossible to believe I have done it myself as I have no nails because I bite them. There is tooth marks beside the scratch that fade throughout the day. I know this sounds really weird but I am serious. There is nothing sharp in my room or bed either. Any thoughts on this?? I am quite anxious.

Waking up with scratches on me- very strange.

pray for what might be happening. I would say demonic attack but I thought they could do no harm to us physically. I guess I am wrong.

There are a lot of reports of people who experienced similar physical injuries, so I think you should take it seriously as soon as possible.
In my experience, when I let spiritual warfare ride too long, expecting it would go away, it became worse than I would have pictured possible. Sit yourself down with scriptures and some spiritual warfare information, and put focused time into it.
Fasting wouldn't hurt either.
Matthew 8:28-34
When He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were demon-possessed met Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way.

I've found this one very helpful for a similar although not identical situation:
1 John 5:18b He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him
Have you had much exposure to praying the scriptures? You can personalize them & there are at least 3 different ways you can say them.
1. Thanksgiving
Thank you Jesus that He who was born of God keeps me, and the evil one does not touch me
2. Warfare - standing against the enemy
It is written: He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him
3. Declaration of faith (Let the redeemed of the Lord say so)
I believe He who was born of God keeps me, and the evil one does not touch me
What I recommend is saying each one repeatedly before moving on to the other so you get into the spirit of each. Make this adjustment as you move from one to the other.
#1 can have a spirit of peace & protection about it
#2 has an attitude - really engage the Spirit in you as you say it. You are indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God - like the ark of the covenant. How dare the enemy even attempt something like this. When people did irreverant things around God's presence in the OT, fire came out & consumed them (eg Lev 10:2, Num 16:35). How much more should this be the case for a purely evil being.
#3 has a confidence about it. Speak it from a sense of "this is God's truth about the situation"
Playing praise & worship music in your room at night would also help. If you sing, you could sign a long with it & get a sense of God's presence & then lie down & sleep in that "place".

Thanks, Firewater.
A couple of lists of verses to speak out:
Spiritual Warfare Scriptures « Spiritual Warfare
The Sword of the Spirit
Spiritual Warfare (Ephesians 6:10-20) | Bible.org - Worlds Largest Bible Study Site
(and so on)
I was listening to a talk last week, and they said that "meditating" in scriptures really meant speaking verses out loud (chanting etc.) I think if we spoke verses audibly more often, we would prevent a lot of trouble.

I have also woke up with scratches all over my body, this is more then likely demons. Several times I have been restrained so I could not move or speak while demons appeared to me. First pray then take athority over your room/ house and make sure nothing unclean is in your house(spiritual filth)then pray To discern how they have enough access to you to visit your home.

a google search is how i found this page and after seeing this comment i immediatly registerd before checking out the fourm cause i could sense the truth. i apprecate these words !
i have woken up the past few days with a few scratches. and this has happend in the past.. but i figure this time is because i have been extremely diving into the way of christ and its upsetting some subconcious previous influencers (evil spirits or the evil one himself)
they have no power over jesus !
god bless all thanks again i should be back to check out the rest of the fourm soon
