Thank you for the advice I guess you'd have to have the dreams to understand, the feeling was absolutely horrific But you are absolutely right, there is one who is in me that is much greater This isn't quite the update that I thought I would type out, I got busy today, but yesterday I was feeling the evil whenever I thought of it until I asked some friends to pray. As I described it to them, I felt very cold, I was shivering, my eyes were getting watery. I couldn't look in dark places for fear of something very evil. It's like with my spiritual eyes I could just see something. It was like being a little kid who was afraid that a monster was about to jump at him. I was going to bed and I was still very shaken by it, still very nervous and scared, although I was doing my best to comfort myself. Finally God spoke to me and said, "Rebuke it!" Then I told it, "Out of my house in the name of Jesus Christ!" Well, whoever it was, they left, and I slept very well that night, a tad nervous, but I overcame it. So yeah, I'd like to tell a lot more, but I won't have time until at least Tuesday, cuz I wonder if there's any significance in these two dreams. Maybe, maybe not, like you said, don't put too much stock in dreams, but I'd like to see, cuz one of em revolved a bit around what's going on in my life. God bless, and keep praying plz! This time for just some wisdom if there's any to be gained.

This time for just some wisdom if there's any to be gained. I have had dark dreams for 13 years solid. Demonic, evil dreams. however they are dreams. Looking back I know what caused it. It was not the occult, it was other awful things. Dreams are not that important, they can be disturbing, but honestly, most of the time they are not really demonic. Don't credit Satan with too much power. Answer: Hello. How long have you lived in your house? How long has this attack stuff been going on? It seems like what you are going through is rather recent, so I get the impression that it has little to do with your house but maybe more with something you have been doing. It can come from 3 things: - Either you have recently stepped out in pursuit of God and His purposes in a more dramatic way than previously, and so the enemy is beating up on you about it to keep you from continuing that way - Or you have recently opened up doors to the enemy through sin, either sexual, or envy/jealousy, or occult.. - OR there is someone in your life that hates you and is wishing evil on you or is being violent towards you. In my experience, those are the three things that will bring on the type of things you are experiencing. Which one do you feel fits? Heather Answer: Originally Posted by FilltheEarth Hello.

Heather Just a short detail, I've been trying to keep a strong walk with God pretty much all of my life, ever since maybe 5th or 6th grade. It's probably around those times that I was starting to get the hang of putting God first and being careful about what I got into. I was still a bit immature in a few ways, but I daresay maybe a notch up from the usual. Not to brag. So I guess the way I've been going spiritually, I've got a pretty sensitive spirit about things. And another thing, I'm not the kind who sees a demon under every leaf and behind every tree either, so I just want to rule that out immediately. How long have I lived in this house? Umm, I'd say about between 4 and 5 years now. The first time I remember having a feeling in a dream that frightening was when maybe I was in probably just 7th grade. It was a dream where I saw Darth Maul in the part of my house where the backdoor is, then it turns around to the stairs into the basement. I had that exact same feeling as I did with those dreams I had Friday night. I felt like Satan was coming right at me. I felt a force of evil just hit me. I guess I could describe it almost like a rape. It ambushes you and tries to bring you down, it's meant to terrorize you. And I was terrified. Imagine staring into the face of Satan for a second. His angel's garment is totally stripped away, and you're left staring at a hideous, ugly, ungodly, disgusting being of hatred, in his demonic glory. I was so scared, and I couldn't open my mouth to scream, though I tried hard. Then later on, I saw him again, this time he was wearing black leather and a police helmet, and I felt the exact same thing. I think it was in the same dream. I remember talking to my dad about that one, and he said he wasn't surprised that it was an image of Darth Maul that represented Satan. When you think about it, he kinda does fit with the red and black makeup and horns. I think I had this dream a couple years after we moved in, but it was at least a year I believe. Well, my relationship with God is doing very well, so that cancels number one. I've made a very strong effort, and for now have succeeded, in keeping lust out of my life. I'm very picky about what comes in and out of my life, like CDs and movies (I'm very strict about music, and I don't watch much TV, and I've given up Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Raymond), and I've got no involvement in the occult whatsoever. As for the last one, I really don't know. No one is being violent towards me, but I have been feeling very betrayed by my best friend. He's been going out with a girl I brought to church ever since I brought her (which in my mind is very upsetting because my best friend just wants a date, I know that very well, but a lot more goes into it). I've never approved of his relationship, and we've never agreed on dating. It seems like we're kind of at arms-length now (except when he wants to borrow something...). I don't fully agree with the music he chooses to listen to, I've picked up no sign of him being in the occult (he's a Christian), but I know he probably isn't too happy with me. One more thing, but I kinda have my doubts, and this happened a couple months ago. My friend told me and Kristina (my friend I brought to church), about a guy named Talon, who's sister is in the occult, and he's been saying stuff about seeing demons and such. He said to Charity not to tell our youth pastor or to pray for him, but with some encouragement, she did, and she told Kristina and I. Our youth pastor talked with us, and he told us not to tell Talon that we told anyone, and we talked to another leader, Steve, who advised us to fast for a time for him. So we did. But to my knowledge, Talon doesn't know. Maybe he was just oppressed at the time (not possessed, comprende?), but if he was possessed somehow, or still is, then maybe by some occultic practice he found out. I don't know though. My dreams had nothing to do with Talon, and to my knowledge, he still knows nothing. But hey, I've got time to type up the dream, and I'll do just that right now. I'll try to give the best details I can. If I can'tget it done in time for tonight, you'll see it tomorrow. Answer: I think that this right here is the farthest back I can remember of the first dream. I saw my CD case laid out, and there was a booklet to one of my ApologetiX CDs flipped over, for the CD called "Grace Period." On it was a picture of someone who was supposed to be the lead singer looking like Kurt Cobain, but with a receded hairline. That's not on the real CD booklet though. Though, I don't see how it plays into it. Later on, my friend Kristina was upstairs, and I was downstairs. The lights were off upstairs, and my bedroom light was on downstairs. My CD case was laid out in front of me on the bed, and there was this much older grey-headed guy down there, who was telling me about how he gained a better social life after he started talking to people online, or something like that, maybe even a better spiritual life. Then he asked about me and Kristina, and I said, "Well, right now we're not really that good of friends," or I said, "Well, right now we're not really friends." Just a quick note, that's true in my life right now. We're not on good terms. And in my mind and Kristina's was this image of a cherry left-handed faded Gibson. I went upstairs, the lights were still off, and Kristina said to me, "Jake, I think that guitar is satanic." That's also a bit more real towards my life, because I am a guitar played, I'm left-handed, and music is a very big issue in my life. And a friend of mine is in music that I've got no approval of, and he insists that he's fine. It's been an issue for that past two years between me and him. Just seconds later I looked out the window, there was very old couple, my dad's Kia parked in the driveway, and a ghostlike image of a guitar facing in from the side, and it was pure white. The old guy was grey-headed, with a light green pair of pants on, and a shirt with very thin blue and green stripes going across, and the old lady was wearing a long green skirt, like any old lady would. I do wonder who the old couple was. Maybe Kristina was supposedto be talking about that guitar in the window, but I thought it was the gibson one. But hte moment I laid eyes on that elderly couple, that's when I felt that evil rush at me. I was scared to death, I thought I was looking at satan. Even without the pointed ears and tail, you could just feel the gloom, despair, terror and evil that he is all about. I tried desperately to open my mouth just so I could rebuke him, but I couldn't. I was struggling so hard to do it and I was so scared that I woke up. I was very scared. I looked over at the clock, and it was about 4:30 or 5 in the morning. I went back to sleep, then came the second dream. There was this math problem laid out at this table. It was something like, um X = -25 + 0 or something like that. On one side was Johnny Depp (I think!) from how he looked in Pirates of the Caribbean (which ironically does have a bit to do with occultism with the jewels and whatnot). On the other side was Mrs. Howell from Gilligan's Island, and she was wearing this formal red sequins dress. So they're trying to figure out this problem, and the trick is if X could equal zero, then something would happen. A detail in my mind during the course of the dream was that you didn't want it to equal 0. So Mrs. Howell just throws a 25 on the side with the -25 + 0. -25 + 25 = 0. X=0. Then the satanic terror struck again. I woke up again, and I think I was trying to rebuke it again. Then I woke up, and it was like only 5:30 I think. I did not want to go to sleep after that. I refused to. It was 6:00, and my body was very tired, but I did not want to have that dream again. I was still very scared. I tried singing a few praise songs to feel better, and I think I said a short prayer. I couldn't look into the dark. If you remember Lord of the Rings, it's like waiting for that balrog to appear from that large entryway. I did fall back asleep against my will, but I didn't feel the satanic presence again. God allows Satan to mess with us sometimes up to a point, then He says, "Stop." I guess God said "Stop" on that one. Then 6:30 came, and I had to get ready to do my paper route, but I was so tired I didn't want to. I forced myself to get up, I got ready, and stepped outside. It was foggy, then moon was nearly vanished in a crescent, perfect for a horror story. I walked past the part where I was the old couple and just shuddered. I brought an ApologetiX CD with me to listen to, because I figured I needed something godly to keep me distracted. Then that Saturday night, I get online and tell someone about my dream. I was very scared to go downstairs because of the dark. Every dark spot I looked in, I felt like something was just desperate to ambush me. I had to psyche myself up and say, "I'm going down there." Then when I got on and told my friends, a chill was going heavily down my back, my eyes were getting watery, my spirit felt a chill. I asked some friends to pray, and I was feeling better after that. Then I got upstairs, I had brought my radio so I could listen to Rebecca St. James' Worship God CD. I figured that God would use it to help me stay distracted. I was still nervous, then something said to me, "Rebuke it." So I said, "I command you to leave my house in the name of Jesus Christ. Away from me Satan!" The terror did stop. I know theologically Satan isn't omnipresent, so I don't know that it was directly him, but I knew some spirit was abound, and I know that after I rebuked it, it left. I slept very well, and wouldn't allow myself to get nervous again for concern of it returning. I'm trying to put some strong emphasis on that feeling whenever I thought I was looking at Satan. I don't know how it looks to y'all, but I'm trying to give you the impression of something hideous, vicious, and you are its victim. Absolute pure terror like you will never experience unless you got a glimpse of satan or one of his demons unmasked. My youth pastor told me about people who have seen demons unmasked for what they really were, and it absolutely scared them. They were so hideous that some had vomited. It's like that terror, except without the vomiting. So yeah, that's my dream. They probably sound crazy, but hey, dreams about the sun, moon and eleven stars, and sheathes of grain bowing down to you are kind of far out as well. I guess I'll share that I've got no doubt that it was a demon of some kind. This wasn't just some frankenstein coming after you; once you felt it, you knew it was satan. And next, when I rebuked it, and I asked friends to pray, it left. Before then, if I even thought about that dream and when I saw that old couple, it scared me badly, and I felt that terrorizing evil. If I thought about that math problem when X equaled 0, I felt it (at least if I remember right I had thought about that one once or twice). So yes, there's my two dreams, my thoughts. Any wisdom, insight and prayed is deeply appreciated. Answer: Welcome to my everyday life. I'm praying for you. Copyright © 2007 - 2008 www.thanktoday.com
