I started to write this in hope to have some conversation or find people who find themselves in similar situation.

In Bible Epf 6:12 (Im not native english speaker so my references are all translated) "We are not fighting against this worlds powers..."

I read a few months ago news about man who shot to death his family. That got my attention because the reason he said for his act: He heard voice telling him to do that. And that's not the first such voice telling to do something I have heard.
Now I hope nobody thinks im crazy when I say this. But I knwo what they are talking about. I, kinda, hear or to be more presice feel that voice too. I don't really know when I started to feel it. I was kid or teen at least.
To me it's thought that to those people I have read. Most of the time when I feel it it's uncomperhensible mumbling, screaming, yelling and roaring full of hate. When I actually can make sense of it the words are spoken with the same tone and language as I normally think, which makes them time to time tricky to identify from my own thoughts.

Because what I feel is thougths and it's more felt than heard I have some times seen like images or felt like memories of physical feelings as well. When I write this I have on going "vision" as following: Im sitting in my work place at peace, but im surrounded by ring or circle of fire. Inside the fire I see countless of figures and faces. I can't make any clear detail of anything and the "vision" is very dim yet surprisingly real. I hear noise as I described above but cannot make out any words that is yelled to me.

I have had this kind of vision once before. The time when i prayed for my friend who were possessed by evil spirit and the spirit was chased away. I don't know for sure did the spirit threatened anything but according to my friends reaction (before the event) and my own experience I suspect it threatened that if it's driven away from her it will seek and hurt me. When this particular event happened I heard same way as now loud but by force sillenced noise. And I saw figure of 4 legged black thing circling me around. But important is that it couldn't come closer than the fiery ring. It felt like the ring is formed around the bubble or such that is protecting me. How close they can be, and still we're unreachable to them. I believe that is how God shows his power and protection to my understandable way.

I understand that the door to hear, feel, and see these things is shut for most of people. For some so tight they may even start to think that the door dont' even exists. Well if any of you reading this hear my advice, Do not try to open this door unless it's opened for you for sake of your own sanity. These things around me know everything in me and they know I hear them. Nothing makes more sweet to them than see me suffer.

I trust in Jesus my saviour. To see the hate around me alone proves me each day that God is true and Jesus have saved me.

i read your story, people will not think you are crazy here as these kind of things are very common here. It seems to me that like you said in the vision the ring of fire is your faith in Jesus and thus protecting you. demons are very angry creatures but i also know how powerful the name of Jesus is if you love and trust him. i am sure you will not do anything the demons want to to do. Prayer is a very powerful weapon against these things. i have not had these experiances you speak of but my advice is still true. beleive in the holy spirit, trust and love jesus and his name and know god will always love you and he takes care of his own as said here- Psalms91;1-2 Those who go to god most high for safety will be protected by the almighty. I will say to the lord( you are my place of saftey and protection. You are my god and i trust you. The ring of fire is your faith in God and is apparently very strong, strong enough to keep the demons away

Hey buddy, I'm not quite sure where to start....... as long as mental illness is not an issue, and I don't mean to insult you, but these types of things are classic schizophrenic symptoms. Look buddy, if that's not the case then my heart goes out for you that these beings are attacking u so much. I know they are real, I don't have the same gift as u but I have certainly dealt with them before. U r in a difficult situation, I'm not sure really what to say to u apart from staying as close to the Lord as u can. God bless buddy.....

My dear brother, may God continue to bless you, anoint you, and show favour unto you. God is with you my brother. He loves you! When you experiance these things call upon the name of Jesus right away and immeditely go into prayer. I too have experianced such things as you have described. You are not alone do not be afraid. Give it to Jesus only He can fight this battle. You are not crazy. Serving God is sometimes spiritually challenging. You must hold on to your faith and do great works. In these last days the elect will be attacked, but you are protected by Christ! You will be ok. May the love of Jesus Christ be with you all the days of your life.

I have had such experiences and often. That door has been open to me for my entire life. God will take the ability and use it to help people in ways other people can't even see.

The key to dealing with it is as follows: The God who saved you is the same God who wrote the Bible. Each case stands on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Any voice, any vision, any leading, needs to checked against Scripture. Is this something God has done? Is it something He has said He may do? One witness is your own eyes, or feelings, the second is the Word of God. The third, which you will have someday, is the fruit He will have given your life in the Kingdom. Scripture confirms life lived in Jesus, and life lived in Jesus confirms Scripture.

If you ever need discernment help, you may write to me.

Well Darlin', looks like you have yourself in quite a pickle. To me, this does not seem like a positive thing in your life and when I read the part about exorcising the evil spirit or demon from your friend, something entered my mind. God talks to all of us, and I try to keep that passageway open as much as I can. Possession of humans and supernatural things, along with exorcism, have became very popular lately. It's the ultimate scary thing, because it's real and could actually happen, which is why I think it has been used in so many horror movies recently. Despite what we have seen on television, or what they want us to believe about it, you are diving in way over your head if you try to actually exorcise a demon in real life. There is a lot of fasting, praying, and spiritual strengthening before you walk into a situation where someone is possessed. If you didn't do that, then you might have been weak enough for the demon to leave your friend and possibly enter you.

I am not trying to scare you, it just may be a possibility. It talks in the bible of the men who went into the house with a man possessed. Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

Since this may have happened to you and you are seeing these things, I'll give you this advice.
Don't acknowledge them, Don't speak to them, Don't have anything to do with them.
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]Peter 5:8 "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."[/FONT]

When I get scared and I feel an evil spirit, I pray this prayer to God. Lord, please protect me from all harm. Any Devil, demon, or evil spirit that's around me, take them out from inside my house, from around my house, above my house, below my house, and everywhere in between. Surround me with your angels and keep me protected with an impenetrable force that can not be broken. Also, I pray for you take anything that is not of you out of my mind, soul, body, heart, and spirit. Any evil memories, images, sounds, dreams, or anything else, take them away from me and lock them up in hell where they belong.

Also, if you feel it creeping in again say aloud, Devil get behind me in Jesus name. I am a child of the King!

Don't be afraid, God is with you and will not let any harm come of you. Remember this, it gives me great comfort.
James 4:7

"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

Hope this helps. I know it was kind of long, but I know God really wanted me to give you more clarity on this. God Bless!

I wonder if anyone reads this. I returned to read this actually driven by my last weekend "experience" or something like that.
Most of people would think im mad because what Im about to say next but I know it's not about madnes, but warning or serious suggestion to focus on what im doing or what's about to happen.
During past week I have felt like unrecognisable whisper and like someone is at my home when it's night. (exactly same way when I was kid and was afraid of dark, or not the dark but what I felt but couldn't see) You know what im talking about.
What's made things worse lately is one friendship of my that I realised last weekend how bad it's getting. After one quarrel I felt again the whispering (not good in nature) and those two together gave strong feeling that I must hurt myself or someone. (at that point there was ringing alarm really loud in my head) I've heard people who have done terrible thigns after hearing things and now I was feeling exaclty same way and also understood where it came from.
I refused to listen it but I can't deny that either im more sensitive to it or devil is pressing me harder for some reason to make me fall.

If you have had dealings with anything occult, like fortune telling, tarot cards, ouija boards, wicca, horoscopes, spiritualism ect., renounce it verbally in the name of Jesus and get rid of anything associated with any of the above. Be careful what you feed your mind with i.e., don't watch programs featuring/glorifying the paranormal. When I have thoughts that seem to loop in my head (years ago I suffered from mind numbing, soul crushing depression)I start singing praise music or I quote scripture to myself.

None of us can say for certain what is happening here. But, one thing for sure is that if you have not already been to see a doctor, you need to go. Your symptoms are disturbing and frightening for you. It would be really sensible for you to rule out a physical / mental illness. There is 'shame' in mental illness, which prevents people from seeking help and support, especially amongst some Christians...which is very sad indeed. I do hope you will see someone, please go and tell your doctor what is happening and your pastor? God is not a God of confusion or fear, nor does He prohibit you from seeking appropriate care. God Bless you and may He give you safety & peace, placing people around you to support and encourage you and most importantly, assist you to seek and gain the help you appear to need. In His name, <><

Writing little update, little bit good and bad. The "fight" if I can call it that way got something new last week.
I was sleeping when in dream I was myself going to small toilet which appeared been once corridor or something. There were door front and right of me that weren't usable, and the door on my left I locked (for understandable reason) when I had done my business I was about to leave when I realized that someone or something tries to enter the toilet trough door front of me and soon another from my right. I got up and was about to leave when 3rd came behind the last door and then each of them started to bang the doors trying to literally break their way in. I wasn't sure how much the doors would stand so I tried to hold but soon realized that I need better "weapon" against these things (I knew what they were) so I started singing random praise song that just came to my mind and at that point I woke up and I felt the all too familiar pair of hateful eyes staring at me. But my story don't end here. I brought the prayer and also praise to my home. and then I felt suggestion to "command it". I prayed and did as suggested. First time I did it left but came right back the second time I said it out loud it left for good and I felt warmth surrounding me.
