Aww thank you so much for your comment. I felt last week I was making some progress, but then this past weekend, I had an opportunity to preach Christ to someone, and the right dialogue never came out of my mouth to the point where he was not preached at all. I also said something that I really regretted. And this has made me just sooooooo depressed and sad :( It's becoming much harder to wake up now too. I do hope I can recover from this deep depressive episode. Thank you again so much for your comment. You are such a blessing :)
 
depression is a spirit ,its a stronghold any minister of the gospel that believe in deliverance you need go to service and pray to be delivered also, oppression to is a stronghold that works a long with this spirit. you need to be filled with joy everyday be thankful of the Lord for the things he has done, you are save, filled with Holy spirit,Waked up joy in the moring , go to bed with joy
 
you know you need to be deliver and walk away from these sins, because the enemy will torment you. Ask the Lord to deliver you from perversion and unclean spirit, you need to be delivered, you need to renounce these sin, the bible tells come out from among them and be separate.So that mean put away those sin and desires that you have, you need to fast and pray from these day fast or three day fast.
 
Thanks for your comment :) I have actually tried to fast in the past, but since my family is not Christian, they will not let me fast. I'm currently looking for a church, so I hope to find one that will have experience in dealing with these sort of spirits. I know that Satan is around me. Jesus has done so much for me in the past. I do thank him for saving me. If he didn't save me, my situation would have been much worse. Bless you :)
 
Sounds like a mess, you have options, first off, try piloting your efforts at the actual God instead of one son or the angels, Second, one of the joys in life is there is usually something to do, this is what your facing, you have gotten wrapped up in this clout of spirit and attacks, and you should get out. First off, take something comforting and reminding you of God, and carry it with you whenever you want to feel with One. Get to places you aren't familiar with, and take it slow, remember you can decide what you do first, don't get caught up in what is allowed to do or not do, do what you want and if you find the oppurtunity to do what God wants you to do it if you decide to (refuse getting "bacon on the" or "lying to your" other near person), and take it simple and good, have attention to what you think you want to do and "Have to definitely" do, perhaps do what you want and not what you "have nmust" if you aren't going to perhaps die afterward, this will give you a give of what is you and not you in the day.

Once you have figured out what is you and not in your head, it comes pretty simple to resist the demons which are on you these days. Then it becomes a matter of refusing them in your head if the thing doing this to you was a person you'd tell them to go off, so why would you go along with these d-ings. THen, resist them when you can, and request from God what you can't take care of then. Don't get depressed over it, you have something to done.
 
Hello. When you repent and believe in Jesus, the sin wont have power in you. When you believe in Jesus all your sins are gone and all demons cant do anything agaisnt you..There will always be temptations but Jesus defeated all.Repent and believe in Jesus and tou will be Healed. Jesus rescued me from porn
 
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I actually have gone to see a doctor in the past, and the medication he gave only made things worse; I suffered from the side effects of the medication, and it did nothing for my symptoms. I could see a different doctor I guess.

Dear brother, you are right, this is not a pill matter. I suppose you need a Biblical foudet counselor. The problems i see in the contacts which you had with the demonic world. They will destroy you and your relationship with God our father. I pray that you will find help and deliverance from your bindings. I am shure that the Lord has a plan with you!
 
Hello,

I've been just feeling really sad lately. I've never been diagnosed with depression, but I have been depressed and unjoyful for a long time. I also have so many negative feelings towards people, and I hate that about myself. It's like I have to try really hard to be nice. But the bad thoughts are always there.

In the past, I used a ouija board and found out that demons actually exist. I started getting "sleep paralysis" and some of them would be really intense. I went to church for the 1st time, and received Christ as the one who died for me. The attacks continued, and would scare me a lot. My latest attack was earlier today.

To escape from all the depression and obsessive thoughts I have, I go to porn. I started when I was in grade 6. I have tried my very best to stop, after believing that there really was a God and that Jesus died for me. It took a lot of courage to tell a church member about my struggle. They prayed for me and they also told my pastor that I am having this struggle. I called my pastor as well, but he said that he would meet me in a week. He never called me, and never asked me about my struggle. I felt let down. That was a few years ago, and I just don't want to confess it again. I also confessed to a pastor from a different evangelical church, and he told me that God doesn't care whether I masturbate. This pastor didn't seem to care that much about my well-being. I just feel that there is no point in resisting anymore, or telling anyone else.

With the depression, obsessive intrusive thoughts, sleep paralysis, and porn bondage, I just hate life. I know that I'm displeasing to Christ. My family is not Christian as well. It's like I want to get some terminal illness and just be done with life. I get sad when I wake up and have to face another day. I just don't get how on earth Jesus will not say to me, "I never knew you" to me. And that scares me. Does anybody have any insight or suggestions for me? Because I feel like my walk with Christ is non-existe

Hi Treatso,

I'm new on this platform and I just saw this your message and I wanted to know how you're doing.

So, how have you been? Do you feel better now? Are you growing as a Christian?
 
Have you looked into talking with a Christian counselor? You're never to far from God, you just have to take that step back to Him and repent. Once you accept the Lord as your savior, you cannot be unsaved. There are programs out there that you can reach out to like a celebrate recovery which deals with a whole bunch of life issues as well as places like Focus on the Family. Have you ever looked at a movie called chasing the cardboard butterfly? Look it up and see if it's something that speaks to you. Prayers that you will come through this, just cling tight to your faith and pray, lots of prayer and let the Lord take control of your life and the next step in it. Remember, even though it feels like you are alone, you never are. Don't give up hope.
That line 'you cannot be unsaved' is totally erroneous and unbiblical. Why try to be holy if whatever I do doesn't matter? It doesn't even make sense. What's then the difference between a so-called 'believer' living lasciviously and a sinner who was never saved?

The Bible clearly warns of falling away in Hebrews.

And Paul says not to use the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ for an excuse to live lasciviously.

There are definitely many people in the Bible who were once saved, and fell from Grace. Examples are Judas Iscariot, Demas etc.

I know you're trying to help but please don't use that to encourage a struggling believer; it wouldn't help him in the least way, but rather it would hurt him because it's poisonous. Don't be deceived.
