I do not know how you guys view spiritual warfare but I'm hoping not to offend. I'm not even sure what to include in this post but I, my family, are in need of some support. I think my house is infested with negative spirits. My children have all seen them throughout the years and have recently began talking about them with me. I've never seen them but I've felt them. There's a lot I'd like to accuse these things of but the fact is, my family is far from God. I feel like I need direct intervention from Jesus and the angels to get my youngest daughter saved. Prayers for Jesus to assist us in our path towards God would be much appreciated. Thank you.

MMarie, Prayer & encouragement for you in the Lord! The most important step of faith you need to take regarding your prayer needs is to keep yourself strong in the Lord daily. Clothe yourself in the scriptures! Ephesians 6: is a chapter that makes it very clear that our spiritual strength again the forces of darkness in this world come from the Lord Jesus Christ. The enemy has NO authority "Period"!!! as believers we have complete authority against demonic activity of any kind. Stand strong in the Lord, as the scripture says in Exodus 14:14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still." Allow your focus to be on your Heavenly Father, and His Goodness, & Truth. Be still in His presence & simply rest in His faithfulness, and He will take care of the rest! He knows exactly what you and your family are dealing with in your home, as His love is ever present. On a personal note, I have dealt with some oppressive darkness a few times at night in my home in past years. The Lord, has shown me through scriptures that the enemy loves to use scare tactics or whatever it takes to put fear & intimidation into one's mind, but in Christ Jesus we absolutely do not need to subject ourselves to the enemies lies. Staying strong in the Lord is Key, and simply pray for a covering over your home & children daily, as you Rest in the Lord. Keep your thoughts on the Lord's Truth & Goodness, and stay equipped in the Lord with scriptures, prayer, worship music etc... Remember Your bible is your Sword in Lord! and your faith will grow stronger with each new day. Keep your eyes on the Lord! My prayer for you & your family.....Heavenly Father, I lift up MMarie & her family to you in prayer! that Your truth & love and peace would fill their home. May Your love surround each family member, and may your protection from any oppressive darkness be quenched! I pray that Salvation would come to each one of MMarie's family members who do not know you. Cover her children & protect them & MMarie for the enemy & his lies. Lord, I pray that seeds of faith & truth would begin to grow within this family & may there be a spirit of Unity that dwells within their home! In Jesus name!!

Thank you for showing me the appropriate book. I haven't yet read all the books of the bible because I get confused with it easily. And thank you for the kind words and prayer as well.

I'm not sure what you mean by "negative spirit" but that term sounds like an attempt to minimize things.
There could only be two kinds. Angel's or demons. Ghosts and other such things are not biblically plausible.

Well, my children agree one is a tall black shadow. They do not see the rest but you can feel their presence. One night I fell asleep listening to the bible with my headscarf on and awoken from a very nice dream by the sound of half a dozen whispering voices. I could not understand them. As I was beginning to conceptualize this, I reflexively told them to get out, saying this was Jesus' house. I fell back asleep instantly. In this one time I felt and heard them. My guess, given how many animals die on this property and how depression, anxiety, and anger began in this house by all members of the family thirteen and up, I'd guess we are not dealing with guardian angels. There is a lot of history here. We've been here seventeen years.

Hi Marie, I’m sorry for the trouble you’re having. Praise God though for your Holy Spirit filled reflex response by speaking out His name! Holy Spirit is with you so I pray that is a comfort for you. Jesus is with you!

A lot of kids seem to be super sensitive about things like that. I know I was, some friends were too, seeing things as kids.

I’ll definitely pray for you and your family. Also for Salvation to those who need it.

Do you have someone you trust that is a Minister that can come round and pray The Precious Blood of Jesus Christ Passover Lamb of God over your home (and family)
Maybe also have a conversation about possible breaches in the spirit realm that may have given access to any spirits, again from a trusted experienced Minister. Then get the doors shut on the spirits. This stuff happens, you’re not alone, but I pray you know this deep in your spirit, that, as a believer you have been delivered from the power of darkness by Jesus’ glorious work on The Cross. He has made a way for you.

Also, all things seen and unseen have to obey Jesus so continue to speak His name as you are Kept IN HIS NAME, also you are sealed by His Spirit until the day of redemption and no one or nothing can pluck you out of the Fathers hand nor separate you from the Love of God in Christ Jesus.

Continue to put on the Whole Armour, Helmet of Salvation, Breastplate of Righteousness, Belt of Truth, Gospel of Peace shoes, Shield of Faith and Sword of The Spirit = Word of God. Keep listening to your Bible, have your daily meal. Continue to Speak The Word & Name that saves. Keep asking for prayer. They will flee and go, they have to eventually. You can and will be cleansed, healed and delivered and your family saved ! In Jesus name. May your home be at Peace. And a peaceful place to live in Jesus name. May your home be filled with Holy Spirit and Glory of The Lord. Stay strong in the Lord and the power of His might. May His Holy angels watch over your kids in Jesus name. God bless you and yours.

MMarie, here's some great scriptures to stand firm on....

2 Corinthians 10:3

3For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh. 4The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5We tear down arguments, and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.


Think on These Things Philippians 4:
7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— think on these things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.…

I'm not sure what animals dying has to do with it. That sounds more like a Hollywood idea than anything relevant.
But I have known people who have had things go on most of their life. Some in small patches. A few examples were fairly wild.
One thing to consider doing is leaving Christian music playing while not at home.
One thing about any negative thoughts or feelings, whether from an internal source, or external, is it is very cyclical. By putting something out that counters that it could be a small way to combat any spirit dwelling there.

I know some denominations would say to pray in each room to cast them out and use anointing oil, in some cases even on the walls themselves.
But I know of no biblical precedent for the above or reason demons would randomly pick houses to "haunt". So I no longer believe in the things above as I adopted a less superstitious and more biblical approach to such things.

And that only 13+ seem affected makes it doubly random.
