In the last few weeks I've been reading the Bible a lot more and incorporating it's teachings into my daily life. It started out as nothing more than being curious about what is actually in the Gospels and such, but I found myself really connecting with it and wanting to learn more. I had always been a "Christian", or so I've said, but recently I've really started feeling like one. Since then I've felt much happier and content in life. Tonight I had a horrifying dream in which I saw a strange dark creature open the door to my bedroom. It started to speak to me, but I was so afraid and filled with such a dark, black fear that I woke up. When I woke up, I was on my side and couldn't move a muscle. I also couldn't breathe and could see faces in the darkness and hear the sounds of people in my apartment. It was only after a few moments of struggling to move my body again, starting with my feet all the way up to my head, that I was able to get up. What does this mean? Was it demons or was it just sleep paralysis? I've never had sleep paralysis before. Is this a bad sign, or a sign that I'm doing something right? Does it even mean anything? More often than not my dreams are nonsensical and I don't find myself really caring about them, nightmares or not, but this one shook me to my core.
>>39228927Call for Jesus when an attack happens. Say Jesus, out loud. Say a prayer out loud as well. Go to church, talk to a priest about this.
>>39228927It's a sign you're doing something right. Those fuckers only show up to annoy you if you're getting away from them. They're morons and only ever accidentally help God with their spastic behavior. Things like that are intended to intimidate you into retreating from God, all they understand is power and assume threatening you will make you obey them, as opposed to making you draw closer to God. Don't worry about it. Pay them no mind, they're destined to be losers. They only did that to you because they were frustrated and scared of you. Focus on what you already know is important.
>>39228927It sounds like sleep paralysis, but it could have been done by a deamon. Deamons absolutely go after the faithful, a lot, it's good to be aware of this.>>39229789Calling Jesus doesn't always work, in my experience it has never worked.>>39229856This. Deamons can influence people's thoughts and they still can't figure out how to succeed. Makes you wonder why they are so popular.
>>39229890If you'd like Christ's help, I would start with not referring to them as deamons. They are not just random disembodied entities. They are specifically fallen angels, like from the Bible. Christianity is real.
>>39229789>>39229856I immediately went into another room and prayed as soon as I was able to stand and asked God and the Holy Spirit to cast them out of my home. Then I hung up a cross and put my Bible right next to my bed before I went back to sleep. Never had anymore problems, in fact I felt really good when I woke up.>>39229890As one of the anons said, I think they're just pissed that I'm turning to good forces rather than succumbing to them. They can't hurt me. I'm more powerful than they are so long as I have God on my side.
>>39229948You are so based. Keep fighting the good fight my friend.
one dude once shared with me that spiritual practices, such as prayer, have a way of drawing attention from both divine and less benevolent forces. Prayer and spiritual activity, while connecting us to God and the angels, can also invite the presence of darker energies and demons. So, it's important to be prepared—not only to receive God's guidance and grace, but also to face the challenges and disturbances that may arise from demons.I remember one particularly spiritually intense week, where I felt a deep connection with God. One night, I had a scary as shit experience during my sleep. I woke up to find myself lying on the same bed, but as I observed the room, I noticed a darkness creeping in from the doorway . AND it began to move towards me like smoke. Overcome with fear, I instinctively crawled into a corner of the room and kinda fainted, and after that moment, I suddenly woke all scared
>>39229890Have a priest bless your apartment. Lock your doors. put tourmaline in the corners of your room. Sprinkle holy salt on your thresholds. If it comes back pray the Saint Michael Prayer. It will most likely be locked out though.

>>39228927I had a reocurring nightmare as a child. It would start in the middle of a normal dream and place me in a spot. A witch brewing a cauldron and laughing was to my left and a vortex would open underneath me and suck me in. Then I woke up in my bedroom but still in a dream. I would fall off my bed and face the computer chair which would then come alive, its legs wiggling like an octopus, and rush toward me and kill me. Then I would wake up for real. I overcame this nightmare by overcoming fear over time. I would gradually be less afraid of the witch until I eventually accepted what was happening, knew what was going to happen and just perfectly calmly observed and went down the vortex with my arms crossed and smiling contently. That night I woke up without going through that second part with the chair and a huge relief came over me. I knew that I had conquered that nightmare and that there was some great significance to this. But the next night the nightmare was back and that was okay except that the part with the chair played out in real life, as in I really woke up and every millisecond of it was the same as in the nightmare, except for the chair coming alive and killing me. I thought I was going to die that night. When I got back onto the bed I tried to rationalize and fall asleep. After a while I turned on my left side, and I swear I was fully awake, and the witch was there, with the cauldron and all. And I knew what it meant. She didn't say anything and just laughed but I knew she meant something like "you thought you escaped but I got you now, weak mortal". I turned to the other side immediately and shut my eyes for who knows how long and when I looked again there was nothing there. I knew I lost because I became afraid again. I knew all along that it was about fear and I had failed to not be afraid in that moment. It was the final test. I should have been composed and understanding but I panicked. So this may be the key to your problem.
>>39231299I hit the chara limit but I want to recommend the book The Murder of Christ by Wilhelm Reich. I find it to be a very good detail of Christ's life and explanation of the world. I have deepened my understanding of Christ and affirmed my what I instinctually knew. Be not afraid and always be in contact with Love and Life.
>>39229920Dead evil people. Hopefully that will clarify for you. >>39229948They can very much interfere in your life and turn it to a living hell. But it will work out if you stay on your path. Good luck!>>39230865I have used salt circles, burned sage, kept a blessed cross and a Bible near me. St Michael's prayer, our father, other prayer. I commanded it to leave, rebuked him in Jesus' name. He would not leave me alone and it spiralled way out of control. He was a dead black American, I am a living attractive white male. That's what it is. In my new apartment I am harassed by a racist Hispanic boy who was only 12 when he died 10 years ago. Racist spirits don't care if you call on God or anything, and the Christian spirits don't do anything at all about it. I guess it's the whole turn the other cheek thing, waiting for them to change. It sucks and it makes me not want to help people, especially if I die, why would I want to help a church of blacks and Hispanics who ignored my pain and didn't help.
