Being haunted...

[DrFeelgood]

One year ago today, I met a girl. She was amazing, beautiful, smart, happy, everything I've ever wanted. The next day, I asked her to be my girlfriend. She said yes. I was completely head-over-heels in love with her, and still am.
But something happened after I realized that I loved her, and that she loved me. She told me about her religion. She was, and is to this day, a practicing theistic Satanist.
Not a LaVeyan Satanist, which is basically an atheist with an attitude and social issues, she worships Satan as God.
If you're going to give me the whole "do not yoke yourself with nonbelievers," don't post in this thread.
Here's the other problem; Andras. He is her connection to the underworld, and I can assure you that he is very real.
If you aren't familiar with this name, Google it.
He haunts me, fills my brain with thoughts that I don't like... If Jesus weren't in my heart, I can be fairly certain that he would have taken control of me by now.
I don't know what to do. That demon has sway over her... she is being deceived. But every time I try to pray for her, he hurts her.

Give me some words of guidance, fellow believers.

Going under the assumption she is indeed posessed by this Andras, which of course is a very real possibility, all I can say is to pray for her, read the Bible for parts that it talks about demon possession and how to deal with it, and discuss your faith with her, if she accepts Jesus as you have, I believe the demon can no longer have any residence in her. Perhaps someone with more experience with satanism or demon possesion/torment can be of more help. Another thing I can think of is if the demon talks to you directly, speak in Jesus name against it directly.

I don't really know much about that kind of spiritual battles, but I can say this:
Don't stop praying! and be careful, make sure the spirits don't get the chance to make you believe their lies.

it could be that you shouldn't be with her, OR you might be supposed to be with her to turn her towards God. Pray, ask others to pray for both of you. Read the word and stay close to God in any and all ways you can. He IS stronger than the spirits, even though they attacc every time you pray. - Prayer and faith are our weapons, so don't give up, and listen to the holy spirit.

May God protect both of you.

I don't think that she is possessed, but she really doesn't have to be. She thinks of andras as a sort of patron spirit... someone that gives her what she wants. That's why she chose the religion that she chose, because she gets what she wants. She really believes that hell is not a bad place, and she wants to go there.
I do believe that my purpose with her is for Christ to speak to her through me, but sometimes I get very discouraged. The demon has his claws into her deep.

Does anyone know any books/chapters/verses that I might want to read in regards to this?

Hey man! I also was close to a demon-posessed/afflicted girl once upon a time. Here's some help (all verses ESV).

Ephesians 6:10-20
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Leviticus 26:3-8
3 “If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandments and do them, 4 then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 Your threshing shall last to the time of the grape harvest, and the grape harvest shall last to the time for sowing. And you shall eat your bread to the full and dwell in your land securely. 6 I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid. And I will remove harmful beasts from the land, and the sword shall not go through your land. 7 You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8 Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

Matthew 12:43-45
3 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”

1 John 4:1-4
4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

God be with you, man, and with your friend as well.

Thanks Topher, the passage from Leviticus is awesome, I need to have her read that, being that she finds Christianity to be a sort of lay down and die type of thing.

 

[blooms6122]

Hi,was reading your post with interest,there is an awesome book called -"Pigs in the parlor" that is a great christian book to read that you may find very helpful.Also I would gather a few christian friends together to pray specifically for the immediate salvation of your grlfrnd,for there is power in joint prayer.
God bless.

 

[Gabriel777]

I agree with blooms6122, get some friends together to pray for her. If it's that bad then you need all the backup you can get. Remember that the devil knows that you're trying to rescue her and he will do anything to stop you. Keep fighting.

I too have been in a similar situation except that she was atheist but her family were santeros and witchcraft and all sorts of weird dark stuff. She's now a Christian and since she's new it's easy for her to slide away with her environment. Prayer is the key. "We fight our battles on our knees" - Charles Stanley

Everyone here is giving really good spiritual advice but let me give you some emotional advice. I know what it's like to fall in love with someone that doesn't care about God. It really hurts. They may be fun, they may be everything you've ever wanted, you might be having the time of your life and frankly you're allowed. It feels awesome being in love. Just ask yourself though is being controlled mentally worth it? If it is, okay then you are willingly letting yourself into that relm. Be careful. Just remember it comes with a price- and if you really love her then pray for her to break out of it and become a Christian so you can completely love her. Dont be unrealistic though, you can't go into the relationship expecting her to change.
Demons are dangerous and they can drive you mad- don't neglect Jesus or you'll be lost.

 

[DrFeelgood]

I never let the demons control my mind, sometimes they try to use fear but I always remember that he who is in me is greater than he who is in the world.

I would like to say thanks to all those who have been praying for me, I can really tell that you have been because the battle is escalating. The good news is, I feel more empowered now than ever against them, and I feel a special pride in being involved in a battle against the Devil.

Thank you all for you advice and your prayers, God bless you all.
