Plz examine yourself, take time to see if there anything that may have opened a door for these demons to attack you. Jesus said that He stands at the door and knocks and if you open the door to Him He will come in. I’m sure Satan operated the same way, through an open door. Always be quick to forgive and repent of any known sin , that always leaves a door of invite to demons. For all have sinned, renounce any known sin and ask for the Blood of Jesus to cleanse and wag you once you have done this , when you get attacked, you speak the word of God to that foul Spirit and command that thing to go in Jesus name. Also, anoint your door posts on hour home with oil, symbolic of Holy Spirit and by Faith put the Blood of Jesus on those doorposts, do the same to yourself like everyday till this stops Satan can only come in when he ha a legal right to!! Repent, forgive anyone and everyone and ask to b forgiven yourself.
Thank you for that, it really helps me to go on, all the people on this site, they are children of God, and I am so very grateful for there help they have given me over the years,
Im still getting attacked by demonic forces of evil, I have a daughter, and yesterday morning she said I had a dream last night of a snake and it bit me, I've never told her what I go through, one day I will tell her, i know one thing my daughter is protected by God just as an angel told me, they car,t harm you and they no that so don't worry.
People often think there is something wrong with them to be tormented this way. It can be due to some invitation by word or deed.
These demons hate God so much. There are cases of people who are very advanced in their walk with Christ. These Christians are very conformed to Christ. Remember the demons hate God to the core of their being. The more a person's image looks like God the more they hate that person.
If that person is attacked its because God is allowing it. It could be that these experiences are sanctifying.
Because you don't seem to suffer from demons having rights to you, my guess is you are to overcome fear of them. That could be A reason God is allowing it. A guess only. I hope this is helpful in some way. Grace and Peace.

I ran out of sleeping tables, and for those few days that demonic snake around my body, it tormented and terrorize me tempting me sexually, I felt dirty in my mind and body, the first night they would not let me sleep, the 2nd night I’m trying to get some sleep and all of a sudden I sat up I’m in a state of extreme fear and distress ; fill with terror, I was absolutely terrified, so much so that when I sat up I didn’t know where I am? I was in my living room sleeping on the settee. That extreme terror effected my mind that’s why I didn’t know where I was when I sat up on the settee.
I’ve had as much as I’m going to take from that lot? I will put on the mind of Christ, every hour I will read my holy bible.
. The only one who can help me is God Jesus, when I finish praying God told me [your be ok,] as God said those word to me in my mind there was no doubt whatso ever, what God said, so it will come to pass. Amen
I’m training to be a Christian, how come I don’t here of other christians getting tested like this, my testing so far has lasted 36 years and counting.
I’m a new creature, God has changed me to by more like his son Jesus, I cleansed, each time I sort God to get rid of snake he wont get rid of it, maybe I’m going at it the wrong way.
When I picked up a holy bible, as clear as anything IM looking at myself through a dark mirror, I just sore the outline of a reflection in the mirror the background was dark, as I starring at the reflection in the mirror, I realized I’m dirtier than I thought. I was then really perverse looking at porn on the net for years.
Maybe God has not taken the demonic snake from me, BECOUSE I need to repent of my perverseness. I’m going to repent every day not with words from my mouth, pray from the heart with words from my heart.
I definitely would not jump to the conclusion (especially based on Internet posts) that your problems are all material, can be solved by drugs, etc.
I am glad you seem to be making progress in your faith. If it were me, I'd look into spiritual solutions. There are people who are gifted when it comes to 'deliverance ministry', which means deliverance from demonic oppression or 'possession', that sort of thing. (Not that I am saying the oppression-possession distinction is exactly Biblical.)
Sometimes people have a struggles with demons if they have opened themselves up in certain ways. For examples, idolators actually worship demons whether they know it or not. I have been to Bali, and one of the brothers I fellowship with in church has spent a lot of time there as a missionary. My wife has also did some short-term mission work to Borneo. She saw a lot of people who seemed to be mentally ill sitting around and there seemed to be a lot of demonization. Witchcraft, idolatry, or outright Satan-worship seems to attract demonic activity. But it may be they get into people's lives through sexual immorality as well.
I know a brother who was a missionary to Israel for a while. He's a really smart guy, very level headed, with an advanced degree in Hebrew. He worked as a Bible college professor. Before I knew him, though, as a new convert, he still hadn't broken free from his sin. He wasn't into the eastern religion anymore, but he was still a 'peeping Tom' in his apartment complex. He was into vouyerism and still doing that as a new believer. I won't go into detail, but he had experiences where a demon would perform sexual acts on him, he said, of different kinds. A couple of times, it manifested visibly. He was actually a Bible college student. He heard one of the professors there ministered in deliverance. He said the man 'bound the demon' and these encounters he was having stopped.
Flash forward maybe 20 years or so. He was married. He had a pile of dirty clothes by the bed that he was going to clean up and his wife kept asking him to clean up, and he kept putting it off. One day, he was talking to someone who had come back from South America after being involved in a homosexual relationship with some kind of church official, the man said. He was trying to minister to him. The next morning-- as he woke-- if I recall correctly he saw the demon as a cloud rising from that pile of clothes. Apparently, his sloppiness was inconsiderate to his wife. But something tried to attack him in the shower. He rebuked it. It seemed like a spiritual warfare situation. He'd been ministering to a man who was trying to break free of a sexual bondage. The spirit did leave when he rebuked it in Jesus' name. These stories here are filtered through my memory of what he told me, of course.
My advice would be to find someone in real life who has experience successfully casting out demons. I know that churches in both the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements believe in casting out demons. Not everyone has experience doing it. Pray about this. Maybe the Lord can send you to someone who can help you. It wouldn't hurt to find a godly pastor who hasn't had any experience doing it and asking for help. The way it is usually done, at least among Pentecostals and Charismatics is to follow the example of scripture and to command a demon to come out or leave the person in the name of Jesus.
Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
You can also command this thing to leave in Jesus' name. If you literally feel a snake-like presence, do that in faith, believing in the power of the name of Jesus. Contemplate the power of the name of Jesus and look up scriptures about it. In Acts 3, Peter said the lame man was healed by His name and faith in His name. Jesus' name is powerful. Be bold, and have faith in the power of God. And also spend time praying about it. It can also help to have someone else minister to you in this way.
I have also heard testimonies of other people who had issues with demons who have been set free.

Angela, if you had known me before 2010, you would have seen a greedy money grabbing person. A Liar, I conned people out of money, truly I was the most perverted person on earth, I was violent, all as I cared about was myself, I showed no love to nobody only my mom, people who were homeless I gave them NORTHING, I was unfaithful, a bully, deceitful, I could go on here for a long time on who I use to be, those sinned and many more I’ve been cleansed of.
I am a new creature of pure love for others, I am who I am because of God the changes he made in me, he loves me and you Angela. I have a close relationship with God. Anything I ask of God he give it to me if its his will for me to have it. All praise and glory for ever and ever goes to God Jesus.
What God has done for me and YOU, I could thank and praise God for ever and ever, even beyond eternity, and that would not scratch the surface for what God the almighty my FATHER has done for me. IN WHOME I LOVE. Amen

Hello Karen0123, I am sorry to read your story and read how you have been suffering for so long.
Accursed Objects
If you are praying a lot and you are still experiencing these demonic attacks, then it could be a sign that you have something that is accursed in your house. The bible tells us that all accursed things should be removed (Deuteronomy 7:25-26) (We cannot pray over them).
Accursed objects give the devil and demons the right to attack you. Accursed objects can be anything that you get from anyone who has either been involved in Satanism or occult or witchcraft. Is there any gift that you got from a friend, neighbor, or even a family member that is in your house? You do not know what people are doing behind closed doors and might think that someone is a Christian, but they are playing with Ouiji boards for example. It might be hard to throw away something because the gift might be very special to you, but if it comes from someone who is/was ungodly it could the reason for the attacks.
I have also included in the attachment a list of things that can attract demons. I hope the attachment will be helpful to you.
As a suggestion, it might be a good idea to go to your nearest Christian bookstore and get a book from the spiritual warfare section. These books are written mostly written by people who have been involved in the occult or were involved in Satanism or at least have a thorough knowledge of demonic activity.
You can also search for “Testimonies of ex-satanist, ex-devil worshippers or ex-witches” on Google (But only search for ex and not current Satanists. Also do not visit satanic websites. That is very dangerous).
One of the problems with accursed objects is that the devil deceives us by causing demonic activity for a few people in the world and not for many others. So maybe you might have rock music that is causing you to be attacked by demons, but your friends might have the same type of music and they are experiencing no demonic attacks. So when you complain, then your friends will think that you are crazy or are imagining things. The devil likes to deceive us by causing some people to be attacked and not others, so it is difficult to identify the source of the problem.
Timing of demonic activity
You might be doubting that some of the items listed as can attract demons because you might have had these objects for a long time. This is the experience that I had:
After reading that certain symbols attract demons, I decided to Google search ”demonic signs and symbols”. I did not know what demonic signs looked like, so I wanted to know in case I had objects or clothing that had those demonic symbols on them. I copied and pasted the symbols on a Microsoft Word document and forgot about them.
A few months later, I think close to a year, my desktop computer started acting strange.
Sometimes the scroll bar would move up and down by itself when I used Microsoft word or excel. There were other applications that would occasionally malfunction. I thought my computer had some strange computer virus but I could not find any anti-virus software that could fix it.
I got a new laptop, which was functioning fine, and decided to transfer some of the things that I had saved from my desktop computer to my new laptop. After a few weeks, my new laptop started to have the same problems as my desktop computer. I decided to look at what I had transferred and one of the documents was the one that had the demonic symbols. I deleted the document including from the recycle bin. The laptop was fine again as well as my desktop computer. No more strange activity from both the desktop and laptop computer after deleting the document.
So the demonic symbols on a Word document were causing my computer to malfunction!
But the strange activity did not happen immediately after I had saved these symbols. The demonic activities started happening after many months.
The demons deceived me by not immediately manifesting and I had forgotten about these symbols. So you might be suffering because of things you got one or two years before these demonic attacks started happening.
I pray and hope that God shows you how to stop these attacks and shows you what is causing them. Since they have not always been there like when you were a child, then they do originate from a certain source/s. The problem is identifying the source.

You need counseling from a good solid fundamental bible believing pastor. I have my suspicions but I am not a liberty to make suggestions over a matter this serious without a lot more first hand information.
You cannot obtain good counsel on an open forum like this one for a matter this serious.
For the cause of Christ

A pastor of a church I used to attend invited me to join him to pray with a man. The man was having all kinds of issues in his life, including not being able to sleep. The pastor believed he was oppressed. The man had sold idols online, and after that, had all these issues. The pastor read through a section in Deuteronomy that had to do with curses that would come on the people for idolatry. He went through, and the passage listed 'symptom' after 'symptom' of what this man went through. So we prayed with him about it.
If you have repented and you are walking with the Lord, you may just need to remind these things of it. If you have an encounter with them when you wake up, tell them you are Christ's now, and tell them to leave in Jesus' name.
My wife had a friend who was inviting people to pray and minister at gatherings in her home. The woman what looked like people or spirits running away out of the corner of her eye and creepy stuff like that. My wife brought two friends from her prayer meeting over to the lady's house. One of them did deliverance ministry and had a ministry helping insane people out of the assylum. In that country, some of those assylums just tied people up.
The lady and her husband had this beautiful koi fish pond. (This happened in Asia.) They had all kinds of fish with patterns on them. These fish could be worth $500 a piece or even more depending on the pattern and various other factors.
So they started praying, and at one point, the man with the deliverance ministry got a word of knowledge and went to the woman's koi pond and pointed to a place where some kind of amulet/fetish was buried and said she needed to remove it. In that country, some people go to witchdoctors who give them amulets, magic rocks, nails, etc. that are said to just sink into the skin or into a tooth to make people invulnerable or appealing to the opposite sex or to other people for business deals. Stuff like that. There are rituals to do similar things with homes. Some people sacrifice chickens when they build a new home. In this case, there was some supposedly magic thing buried in the koi pond.
The woman had forgotten. Before, she used to be into that stuff and had buried some kind of amulet in the koi pond. She was one of these people with one of those personalities, kind of like the shopkeeper ladies on The Waltons or Little House on the Prairie. Anyway, she got all upset at that man for even suggesting that she dig up that koi pond. It would have been a hassle to put all those expensive fish somewhere and remove them and drain some of that pond out and dig the rock out of the cement. The rock was beautiful, too. But she was so focused on these material things, that she didn't realize that this guy had just told her about an amulet she placed there without having met her before or having been there before... after praying... and she was seeing spirits in the house. She was angry about it instead of being humble and listening.
If you have gotten all the graven images, all the carved or cast religious images, anything 'magic' or occultic out of the house, you've repented and put your faith in Christ, demons that have had a place in your life may try to hold on. But stand your ground. Get some help for someone to minister to you in deliverance, and if they show themselves, you feel them hold you down or whatever, tell them to go in Jesus' name.
I also think some of these alien abduction accounts are actual accounts of interactions with demons. An astrophysicist and pastor who studies this found that people who saw aliens tended to be deeply involved in the occult. I've read about people who were in the process of being 'abducted' who rebuked them in Jesus' name and the abduction scenario stopped.

I agree that that Karen needs counselling and most us will not be able to give her good advice/counsel.
But, I believe Karen might need someone more than an ordinary bible believing pastor to help her. Her case is severe and an ordinary pastor with even 40 years experience might struggle to help her. She needs to find pastor who has actually been involved in the occult and has worked for the devil and understands his ways and was been able to escape Satanism.
@karen0123, There are many books on spiritual warfare and are written by people who have escaped satanism. Some of these authors have their own websites or at least an e-mail address or twitter/facebook account. I think that they are probably the best people to contact.

I am not saying that only those that have been involved in the occult know how to cast out demons. And Jesus is also God (1 Timothy 3: 16) and is all-knowing and knew already how the devil works and how to cast out demons. He did not need to have a background or experience in the occult to understand demons. However, we as Christians do not know everything.
The counsel is needed to identify the root cause of the problem that Karen is experiencing. The bible says that a curse without a cause shall not come (Proverbs 26:2). This means that every bad thing has a reason. The problem is trying to find out what the reason is.
The Bible mentions people that have been demon-possessed and demon-oppressed (Since Karen is a Christian then she is probably suffering from demon oppression), but it does not always state the cause/reason for the demonic oppression.
We know that it is mostly sin that can cause demonic attacks, but the bible does not mention all the other reasons. Not everyone in Israel was sinless, but some got more demonic attacks than others, but the bible does not specify the reason for this.
In Mark 8:22-26, we see Jesus taking a blind man out of a town and healing him, and telling him not to return to the town again. Therefore, from this example, a person can be oppressed and have physical maladies by being at a certain location or place or town. But what specifically was in that town that caused his physical blindness and why him only? And why did Jesus heal him when had they had gone out of the town and not when he was still in the town?
The devil is always changing
The bible says that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). God does not change which is the reason why the bible cannot be outdated and relates to all generations.
However, according to one of the testimonies of the ex-satanist that I have read, the devil does change. For example, the person stated that we do not read of demonic possession in the Old Testament because the devil and demons did not know how to possess people at first, but figured how to do it by studying human beings for many years. This is the reason why we read of demon possession in the New Testament, but not in the Old Testament.
Another testimony stated that the reason why it looks like fewer people are possessed today is because the demons have decided that they will no longer manifest themselves like they did in the New Testament because Christians kept casting them out every time they did. So we come across demon-possessed people throughout the years and we not aware that they are possessed or oppressed.
Another testimony stated the devil also reads the bible and knows it better than most if not all Christians. He has been studying human beings for the past 6000 years and has been developing strategies to tempt, possess and oppress us. Whenever he fails, he changes his strategies to more securely retain his victims.
So how do we deal with the devil who is constantly changing the way he attacks as the years go by and how do we know the new ways he is attacking since they are not included in the bible?
Another problem is that demons can be cast out, but they can come back (Matthew 12:45). I have been in churches where a demon would be cast out of a person and then they would come back after a few months to have the demon cast out again. Therefore, the question is, is what must do Karen to ensure that the demons do not come back to attack her again. An ordinary bible pastor can cast them out, but what must she do to stop them from coming back?
I do not know of any ordinary preacher, who has been able to deal with questions I have raised, and Karen has been suffering for many years and no one seems to be able to help her. Maybe you know of someone.
It looks like the people who can best address the questions are those who have worked for the devil and became Christians because unfortunately, the bible does not tell us everything about demons. Those who have worked for the devil and with demons have a better understanding of demonic possession and oppression.
The counsel is needed to identify the root cause of the problem that Karen is experiencing. The bible says that a curse without a cause shall not come (Proverbs 26:2). This means that every bad thing has a reason. The problem is trying to find out what the reason is.
The Bible mentions people that have been demon-possessed and demon-oppressed (Since Karen is a Christian then she is probably suffering from demon oppression), but it does not always state the cause/reason for the demonic oppression.
We know that it is mostly sin that can cause demonic attacks, but the bible does not mention all the other reasons. Not everyone in Israel was sinless, but some got more demonic attacks than others, but the bible does not specify the reason for this.
In Mark 8:22-26, we see Jesus taking a blind man out of a town and healing him, and telling him not to return to the town again. Therefore, from this example, a person can be oppressed and have physical maladies by being at a certain location or place or town. But what specifically was in that town that caused his physical blindness and why him only? And why did Jesus heal him when had they had gone out of the town and not when he was still in the town?
The devil is always changing
The bible says that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). God does not change which is the reason why the bible cannot be outdated and relates to all generations.
However, according to one of the testimonies of the ex-satanist that I have read, the devil does change. For example, the person stated that we do not read of demonic possession in the Old Testament because the devil and demons did not know how to possess people at first, but figured how to do it by studying human beings for many years. This is the reason why we read of demon possession in the New Testament, but not in the Old Testament.
Another testimony stated that the reason why it looks like fewer people are possessed today is because the demons have decided that they will no longer manifest themselves like they did in the New Testament because Christians kept casting them out every time they did. So we come across demon-possessed people throughout the years and we not aware that they are possessed or oppressed.

I don't know about that. The Old Testament says not to go to familiars/mediums, and an evil spirit would come upon Saul. If it doesn't spend much time on demons demonizing people that does not mean that it never happened back then.
Maybe, though in idolatrous nations, it may be more overt. It could be that some modernists diagnose demons as mental illness.
The demon came back in Matthew because the place was 'empty, swept, and garnished.' A solution may be that the individual is full of the Spirit.
One of the problems with some of the popular so-called 'spiritual warfare' practices is if they can cast all the demons out of a town and don't win anyone to Christ, the demons might just come back with reinforcements.
I can think of a couple of people in Southeast Asia who did a lot in the way of deliverance, but one of them is deceased. But I cannot say that anyone I have met who ministers in this area was heavily in the occult prior to conversion. But there might be some. But we do not need revelation from demons to overcome demons
