I have a question and it might sound crazy but I have a 2 year old son and I notice that he is talking to someone when there's no one and also he points to the dark and cries and he just starts hugging me or lay right nrxt to me till I put him to sleep. I thought God or the Angels protect children's?

Sometimes this is normal and just part of brain development in creative children. Sometimes people really can see the spiritual realm. You'll find out which as he gets older, and develops the vocabulary to tell the difference. In the meantime, if you belong to a church that believes in dedicating or baptizing children, make certain you have done that. When these events happen, just reassure him that no matter what he sees or feels, Jesus is stronger, and that you and Jesus are always there for him. At this age, much of the experience of God's love and protection comes through you.

I agree with Ken. Don't make a big deal of it as children are very susceptible to not only what we say but how we act. Allow Jesus and His Holy Spirit to be a very BIG presence in your home. Talk of Him, bring Him to your table, to your stories and have Him real in your life and therefore in the life of your child. Make prayer with your children and reading the word a normal part of your morning and evening together. Your home will then be flooded with His presence, His love. His love casts out fear. God Bless you & your precious family. <><

Start teaching him about Jesus ....the true protector of us all. Taking him to Sunday school is also good.

 

[sandtigeress]

tell him good prayers, like "god, we thank you for this day, you will protect us through the night" or please lord jesus, send your angels to protext us through the night".
Make this part of the going to sleep ritual, so his trust in god to be mightier
than all ( imaginary and real ) will grow and his belief in gods protection will be great.
Closing his eyes his mind will know that he is proteced, even when mama is not present.

About the pointing to something invisible in a waking state, i don't know.
Ususally we might start seeing things, when our eyes get tired,
Have you checked his eyesight, if he might already need glasses.
he might see livelyness in shadows (but don't tell the doctor you are concerned about imaginary friends
just get a seetest, if you have not already.

I also have a 2 year old son, and he talks to himself, or his toys, or no one at all. I think it's just a normal part of speech development/socializing. He might be pretending he has a friend, and that's normal, too.

As for pointing to the dark and crying, he could just be scared of the dark. When I was a kid, I saw (imagined) all kinds of scary things lurking in the dark.

If you're seriously concerned about this, see a pediatrician, and also maybe a pastor, because while we here can give you advice, we don't know you or your son and therefore can't really be all that much help.

If you are worried about possible negative spirits, burn some sage throughout your house (like incense). Its supposedly a sure way to clean out negative 'energies'.

Ok, lets not turn this into an anti-witchcraft thread please. I'm not a witch. Its just something I heard. And if you don't believe in the stuff, burning a little sage won't do any harm anyway.

ZERO.... dear boy...no sage...not needed. All that is needed is Christ. All done at the cross. Lets hold up His name, power and victory? God Bless you (as you slipped off there into ....well...best not go there really <><

Prayers for you and your son. Remember children do have imaginary friends, which means they can also have imaginary "enemies", and they can be very scared of the dark. But children can also "see" and "feel" things adults cannot. Their brains are wired differently at this age, and not all the connections are complete yet. But I agree with those above, keeping Jesus in the home, reading the Bible with him, praying, saying grace at meals, making God a part of your daily lives so he knows God is always there. All children need to grow up with God in their hearts and minds.

My daughter, when she was about 3, would pretend to talk to her Uncle Doug on her play phone, and have complete conversations with him (She'd talk, wait for his response, talk some more,...). The funny thing is Uncle Doug is someone she rarely saw, (we spent much more time with his wife, my sister,) but her play phone conversations were always with Uncle Doug.

My lil brother does some of the same things.. i agree thats its probaly just something kids to... Godbless

 

[RedTent]

When my daughter was a teen she saw an angel sitting on her bed several times. I told her not to worry about it and handled her reaction to it rather than going into the details of the angel.

I have been in contact with some beings, they were only shadows and we could communicate without speaking. They were doing work for God, for instance during a birth, they certainly were not demons.

This could be only his imagination. I think that some people are aware of the spiritual realm around us, although I was told that it was better I not be aware of it when I had my experience. We know it is there, if your son is aware of it, it would only harm him if you make a lot of it. If it is that he is so talented that his imagination is that keen, what a blessing!

 

[Johnsie]

I believe in ghosts, but I also believe in heaven and hell and how Christ told the thief on the cross, "This day you will be with me in paradise" and also that the Bible says that there is just "once to die and then the judgement." So I wonder...How exactly can I, as a Christian, believe in ghosts?? Oh well... If anybody has any insight on this topic, please respond here. Or I may start a new thread later. Great topic.

This can be a huge red flag. This might be a demonic "invisible friend".

I suggest that you pray out loud this prayer every single night before he goes to bed:

Lord Jesus, I ask that you surround my son (his name here) with large angels to ward off all demonic spirits that attempt to get near him. Lord Jesus please set up a wall of Your blood around him so that no demons can get near him. in Jesus name.

If you are a christian then say: "I separate my son (name) from the demonic realm in Jesus name. I bind all demons from communicating with him in anyway, in Jesus name. I forbid any demon from altering his dreams in any way, in Jesus name.

Go through his room and remove anything you feel is less than God honoring. Things like dragons, fairies, monsters, dream catchers, etc. Try to recall when it all started and then see if you can recall if anything new was put in his room about that time. Often some tangible item can be brought into a childs room and that can be the same as inviting a demon into his room. Removing it may fix the problem, if that is the source.

I realize this is new info for you but please take it seriously. Post again if you have not resolved this problem.

Yes because lets stifle a childs imagination due to some errant post online thinking its a demon. What is wrong with you people? Its a kid with an imaginary friend. Extremely common at that age.

Wrong. How many imaginary friends did you have which made you cry?

You may think demons are not real and perfectly harmless, based on previous experience. My experience is very different. 99.9% of what demons do, is all done in secret.

 

[Nautilus]

there is nothing to say that this childs imaginary and fear of things in the dark are in anyway related. In fact to consider it such it backwards. They were two issues. But once again lets just remove all imagination from the kis life. It will be easier then to get him indoctrinated in some extremist form of christianity then.

Who said anything about removing imagination ?
The idea is to give the child the knolledge and understanding that he is protected by god at all times.
And to pray for some real protection too.

 

[Nautilus]

I'm saying attributing typical childhood behaviors of imaginary friends and being scared of the dark to demons is irresponsible.

 

[intercessorginger]

Put your hands on his head and say, "I plead the blood of Jesus over this child" He will have blessed sleep because he belongs to Jesus. I bind all evil away from his life...in Jesus name.! You have authority..as his mother..so take it!
