Demons...

"Joyce Meyer says I'm not where I need to be but I'm not where I used to be... I know she's controversial on here but you know what, I had a similar background so alot of her ministry encouraged me early in my faith walk."

IMoss, I couldn't agree more with this. I'm still early in my walk as I renewed my rights with Christ not long ago. I may not be where I need to be but I'm not where I used to be. Pray for me as well as I'm having some rough spells along the way of late. But to stay on topic this was well thought of. Another good one Jenesis aside from what IMoss here has pointed out is the song Trust and Obey. In all that we do we must Trust in Him and Obey His word.

Everyone is controversial. Why is she controversial?

I suppose people have issue with her spending habits, her lack of formal training & her promotion of her books. I stopped watching her when it seemed her shows were all about the books and less about the salvation of lost souls. but thats just me personally... when I did watch her, she had ALOT of good things to say about abuse and recovering from abuse and learning to accept the Lord and lean on Him... I dont know, i feel sorry for these big preachers cause they are under constant scrutiny, but i suppose thats what they sign up for when they choose evangelical ministry.

Hello & Blessings to you as well in your walk with the Lord Bree. One thing that used to happen to me is i'd fall and i'd feel so terrible i couldnt possibly talk to God for days afterwards. This is a HUGE mistake and exactly what Satan wants. Now as soon as I have the bad thought or action I rebuke myself immediately and pray immediately. This has made such a difference in my walk. Speak to the Lord as you go through the day... Look at the hummingbirds and say Lord thank you for this beauty... think a bad thought and say Dear Lord I am so sorry what could i possibly be thinking I'm so sorry... Know him by his Word and speak to him in all things.

It's good to have a healthy fear of the Lord but not so much that you're scared that he couldn't possibly ever forgive you. As soon as I've sinned I go straight to him and confess. He's well aware of our flaws and how imperfect we are so we are kind of insulting God's intelligence by backing off and hiding from him instead of getting back up, dusting yourself off and keep going. He's not like our earthly parents who can hold grudges against us forever so we shouldn't compare him to them because he loves us way more than our earthly parents ever could or would.

Peace be to you
I hate evil.I have the dreams also.I try and seek any truth in them, some show the future some just rubish.In any event they are very disturbing i have had them very long time now.The last one i had was the end of the world there was tornados all around one was coming right at me in my vehicle so i got out and kneeled down behind a big green tree,and started to pray;Please no pain please no pain please no pain.Then everything went black and it was like i stepped from someone into a coffin.Then i woke up.

I am content to die with the love of God in me knowing that his way is the best for mankind,That his will should be first.I always just ask him please father if it be in thy will no pain for me.

Love a friend in God

I dream about tornadoes all the time. Apparently they are portals to hell I have read. i have dreams about the end too. Maybe we could talk about them together and help each other understand them better. send me a meg if you are interested.

Peace be to you
I wouldnt believe anything but the bible they are just trying to get you alone.Make you feel unworthy.Scare you.Also they want to have sex with you.Do not believe them.You are of great worth to God almighty.

Read alot of the bible it will set you free from fear.I choose not to talk of the dreams as i have come to the conclusion after 4 years almost all of them are to scare you.

This will help you

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.for I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I have come to the same conclusion as paul here.I was reading in isiah wow so much information hard to understand at first then God starts to explain.

Ill start praying for you
Love a friend in God

Oh dont be suprized if things get alittle wacky it might be a test of fire.You can read about it in peter

I can pretty much relate to a lot on this particular page. Here lately I myself have just been literally down and out and not wanting to get back up and fight the fight of faith. But in the end I know that we have to fight it to the end and win the race. I've nearly fallen for numerous traps laid out for me by the enemy of late including various pieces of reading material that would've interfered with my studies of things that God put before me to guide me in life. Imoss thank you for the advice on daily living haha. The song that comes to mind is Just a Closer Walk With Thee. Glory to God in the highest. Praise His holy name all the day long.

AMEN!! I've missed you in here. HOpe things are going better now. You have work to do in here you know... people need you. God Bless you in all His ways.

I ask that you read my post, The "devil is real" probly. be on page two or three, I promise you it will give you a God's eye view of what the devil can do and how we are to defeat him. it is full of scripture almost all (99% ) of it is scriptuer base, and I have had face to face battles with the enemy. but God is so faithful he will not allow you to be befeated. and when you pray my sister, ask God in the name of Jesus, and when you rebuked the devil you must say In the name of Jesus-- they wont obey us in the flesh- but at the name of Jesus they must obey and anyway Jesus said that we are not to ask him for anything but ask the Father in His name. John 14:13--14.....15:16....16:23 and ask in FAITH

Thank you everyone for your concern and your replies. I hope everyone is doing well. Stay strong in Christ

You're quite welcome. I intend to remain firm in Christ no matter what it takes through even the worst of times. Even when things are rough He is still there to see us through it all. He reigns yesterday, today, and forever and I will serve Him faithfully to the end.

I strongly doubt your choices are that of demons, take responsibility for your actions completely. (as they are all your doing)

if you wish to change your life, than live that and breathe that, go to counselling if you have to, there is no shame in asking for help when you need it. (this is why it is there)

I know my first statement was a bit harsh, but I wish you no ill will, but rather the very best.

EnochxGenesis,

This post is pretty old and not relevant in the situations it discusses anymore. It was written way back in March 2009 and some people revived it by asking how I am going. I have given up drinking and am now seeing a Christian man who is very Godly and hungry for Christ. But some of my problems were demonic as the Lord delivered me from actual demons that manifested in my life due to alcoholism and immoral sex. My church pastors had to take spiritual authority over my house as I was being harassed by demons. I am aware there are consequences for actions but we must be dependent on God always and he hears those who cry out to him and wish to change their ways and serve him. I never meant to insinuate that "demons made me do it" and I CHOSE to do the wrong and then they had legal right to enter into my life and have the strongholds they had. Demons are very real and keep people in bondage through sins people commit. I know this first hand as does anyone else who has experienced them working through their lives and keeping them in darkness. Through repentance and the want for forgiveness, God will bring you into the light and they are not allowed in your life anymore once you make the decision to follow the Lord.

I have been being harassed by demons also, Since I was a little girl, They talk to me everyday, When I read books about them my mom says I am dabbling and making it worse, They are only true stories of people like me, If anyone would like to chat about experiences with demons or know how to get rid of them please do.

Jesus - He is your freedom...and only hope

So you are basing what others like yourself experience, based on your own experiences?That doesn't sound very scientific and a bit far from the truth. You are attempting to reason this away or simplify it with psychology while simultaneously mocking her with arrant remarks, how crude. I'll be the first to inform you, I suppose, that psychological treatment fails on so many levels to heal the mind and often results in further damage or in many cases death.I would know, it's an area that I have been studying most of my life in and outside of academics.Why, because I suffered for most of my life with depression and anxiety. It wasn't some magical pill or thousands of hours of therapy that saved me years ago, it was God.

When you finally admit to yourself one day that there are things about this universe that you will never understand and you come to terms with the idea that no matter how impossible or unlikely something may seem; because, it can be a possibility, on that day you will be one step closer to being a believer. Us religious nuts don't believe in luck, we believe in God.

God Bless You.

Hi, May I add this this message. I was diagnozed with schizophrenia in 1995 and was really in a bad way. I did immoral things becasue I was scared of rejection and I was so afraid of the world.I drank alcohol to get what I thought was confidence and also the block oiut the voices I was getting. I really was afriad. In 1999 I met my now fiance, we have been together for 11 years. We have spent alot of time growing closer in our own way, and we have had a fight with negative things in our lives. I really beleive God does listen to us, and that there will always be bad influences in our lives. I have recently been to a mental health center and told them everything about myself and how nieve I was andh ow people took advantage of me when I was younger. My story sounds alot like yours if you dont mind me saying. People do take advantage of a good natured person as they can see your vunerabliity. Take life day by day and learn to love yourself. I really hope this message helps you. Love Mandy xx

talk to him all day long every day. Read your bible and pray. Let him become your best friend. Start listening in your car radio and online Klove radio station. Go to church. He is your everything. Never lose sight of that. I had demonic dreams of tarrot cards and a viper snake biting me over and over and just a dream of witch craft not long ago. Throughout the whole dream I kept repeating over and over in the dream "I chose God" It was a very disturbing dream. I am very close to my King and God and he will not let anyone or anything take us out of his hand if you are his child and belong to him. I think we are tested. Ask for his strength. Plead the blood of the lamb over you from head to toe by putting your hand on the top of your head saying "I plead the blood of the lamb over me from head to toe" before you go to bed. Pray and ask God to guard your mind from the devil. Dont ever stop reaching for God. He can and will deliver you. always. He is our everything. I truly believe that spirits come in the bottle when you drink. Why I say this is because I use to be a alcoholic about 2 yrs ago. One morning when I got up from drinking the night before until I blacked out as soon as I opened my eyes I put my hand on my belly (it was the holy spirit inside of me doing this through me) and I said get out of me in the name of Jesus. i went into the bathroom and I puked up this solid black something that was as long as my little pinky finger and just as wide. I no longer drink, anything. God delivered me from that. Stop drinking and chances are you will prolly stop dealing with demons.
