I know this may sound crazy...im starting to think I am lol. But I have heard of spiritual attacks...like satan attacks people spiritually. I know one guy who was really sick and no doctor could figure out what was wrong...it was something to do with his head he was always dizzy and he finnally realized it was satan prayed for healing and he was better.

ok my story....for the past month ive had a really hard time sleeping...and its only gotten worse and worse. When I was younger I used to have nightmares of bugs and spiders all the time...its my biggest fear....well lately i feel like bugs are always on me, ecsepcially when im sleeping, but there is nothing ever there....well in the past three days I hvae been finding numerous spiders in my bedroom wich I killed.....then tonight I layed down and I seriously mean I had only been laying down for like 30 sec and I felt something on my arm...I smcked it and turned the light on and it was a spider....I freaked of course and then lifted up my covers and there was one dead spider and another live under my blanket and now I am afraid to go to sleep imjust sitting here so tired and dont know what to do....I dont know if its just conisidence or if satan is attacking me....


I have a strong relationship with the lord...and ive prayed about it...but I feel like satan is trying to stop me or wound me....with my lack of sleep im tired...and with my paranoia I worry...its like im being crippled spiritually....

any thoughts?

I pray, Lord God, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, that you protect our sister from this attacks. That you give her peace in the night, and freedom from fear and trembling. That you hedge her about with your love and you righteousness that she may rest as though in your arms.

Thank you Father.

I think it's just spiders, but even if a devil is making you fear you need to pray about it and seek God's presence in your room.

I sleep in a basement and have spiders all over the place, I had a bat once but was too tired to deal with it and it was hot so the bat fanned me as it circled over me in the dark.

As long as there isn't any poisonous spiders I wouldn't worry too much about them, I used to fear spiders and bats but they don't faze me too much anymore.

You can comand in Jesus Christ is Lord that you are protected, and never to be bothered again.
I will pray this in Jesus for you as well.
Hugs and God bless, pickles

spiders can be good as they keep other bugs away. smiles

For He has not given us a spirit of fear but power love and a sound mind.

Use the power He has given you and take authority thru prayer in your situation

Ok...first we must look at the natural realm. Is there a nest somewhere in your room or in the house? How could they be getting in? Have you sprayed insecticide yet? And of course,you should wash all of your bedding. How about vacuuming...a good thorough deep srping cleaning?
2ndly, the spiritual realm: Do you have anything that is even remotely occult in your room? Ouigi boord? Souvieniers from foreign countries? Dream catchers? Even books about the occult or witchcraft could be an open door for a spiritual attack. Take your authority in Christ and command all spiders (and any other undesireable creatures) to either leave or premise or die in the name of Jesus. Declare your place of rest sanctified and protectec by the Lord in the name of Jesus.
Break off all curses of the occult and witchcraft put upon you in the name of Jesus. Command all spirits attached to those curse to leave, in the name of Jesus.
But before all this, ask the Lord if you have opened a door for a spiritual attack....listen to the still small voice. Repent if necessary, ask for forgiveness and receive it. Then ask the Lord to surround you with His protection.

The only way satan can attack you is if you have agreed with him somewhere along the line that he has to power and authority to do so. The only authority satan has before we agree with him is to talk to you. More access is gained by the enemy when we agree with a thought or emotion he plants in us. These thoughts are shaped in such a way that it seems like our own thought. The enemy will use things in the natural that happen to try to get you to focus on his attacks so they become bigger and bigger in your head. The enemy's goal is to get you to perceive his attacks as bigger than God. Once you get there you are in a place where you feel that God won't come and help you, which of course is a lie.

If you can figure out where you agreed with the enemy, then you can break your agreement with this lie, and the enemy no longer has any access to bring on his affliction. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you where you are in agreement with the enemy. God is more than eager to help you, despite what the enemy has led you to believe.

You can repeat this prayer if you like:

Jesus,

I need your help.

I invite you to come and do whatever you want and whatever you need to do in me and around me to break me free from the enemy's oppression.

I repent of having a wrong perception of you, and ask you to come and show your goodness and who you are to me.

Holy Spirit come and fill my room. I ask for your peace to cover me when I lay my head down to sleep. I ask for your rest to come upon me.

Holy Spirit I ask you to show me where I am believing the enemy's lies, and to help me break agreement with these lies.

Thank you God that you are always with me, and that You have been right next to me this whole time protecting me with your hand out towards me.

You are my strong tower and fortress and I choose to trust in You now.

In the Name of Jesus!

Amen!

Blessings,

Machew

So true about getting rid of ANY hint of evil items from your home. I was having nightmare after nightmare for weeks and weeks, waking up sobbing in the middle of the night. I overwhelmingly felt I needed to get rid of my Harry Potter books and movies. I have not had a nightmare since that day! Praise the Lord! I know a lot of people don't believe me about that, but the Bible says that the gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing.

Be blessed.

Amen to all, And I believe you Wonderland, and what Maggie said as well do, for the bible say tha curses cauless shall not come. The fear itself is an open door for demonic attack... The Love of God casteth out all fear, know he love you and you shoild have nothing to fear,,, and as well make sure you own nothing that brings Satan in; for if it is his, he have the right to be whereever it is and trust me he is not going to be there just watching. You have to let go the fear, the devil takes our words and uses them against us. So you shall no longer confess you are afraid of anything, even unto death,,, which were are freed from these powers. Do what the other saints say in prayer... and you tell every foul and unclean spirit to leave you along, to leave your room, and make sure that the spirit of fear be the first you send packing, :) you have nothing to fear for God is on your side. so denoucne it from your heart, and confess it, I do not fear nothing for greater is he that is in me than he that is in this world, bind, and rebuke the devil and command him as well as all evil spirits to go and never return,,, In the Holy Name of Christ Jesus... say what you mean and mean what you say,,,, our Words carry muvh power,,, so speak life, and not death. I am praying with you sister, be encouraged and fear not. For God is with you and so are we.... Amen

I agree with Maggie. Anoint with oil also. It is the time for spiders where I live. BUt if the devils messed with your mind as a child they could be doing it now.

Get a bug bomb and command the devils away. If it is devils they have no right to torment you. Don't put up with it.

I dont believe one who's HOly Spirit filled can be possessed by a demon. They can however be oppressed by satan or attacked by demons but GREATER is Christ in us than satan in this world and we have confidence in this AMEN!!! So its just a case of what to do to stop the attacks if it is an attack. first I would move out of my room, EVERYTHING. bleach clean walls & vaccume then piece by piece move it all back in but clean it before... take apart your dresser shake out everything remove drawers & clean underneath. wear gloves cause its easier to deal with if you touch something that freaks you out. This is what i'd do, then if they continue, then consider it spiritual. I think it may be nothing that a good house cleaning cant fix.

Hi Cheri and Loveschild,

Loveschild is absolutely right! By all means, do get that bug bomb and go after them little devils. And be real careful about what you eat before going to bed. Be especially careful with fruits, especially apples. Be sure they are all of the genus Malus domestica rather than the evil, soul sucking Malus malum.

As an added precaution, you should wash the apples very carefully before eating. I also recommend that you rub each apple with extract of garlic oil.

Thanks guys for all of your comments!! I was just really exhausted the night I posted that and a little frazzled. That night I went into my room and read some scriptures and prayed, also the following morning I bombed my room.....and all is well! I realized that by even suggesting that it was satan, I was allowing satan to dwell. Like someone on here said...fear is the opposite of faith...so I got over it and didnt worry about it and ive had no problems since!

Again thanks for you prayers and help!

Faith is a funny thing, but not to be ridiculed. Never are we told to judge another person's faith. Something about the allocation of faith to each person.
