I spent a night at a friend, she woke me in morn to tell me that while I was asleep she saw a demonic vision?

Question

I've been knowing Nicole for 5yrs. She's always been a good spiritual friiend. When she confronted me, She explained that she glanced where I was asleep and saw a "demonic vision". My eyes were red and she recognized me as the devil. The first I did was to grab my scapula that I wear around my neck. Needless to say, my day was consumed with my spiritual well-being. I visited others spiritual friends & they were very quick to say: stay away. I was surprised to hear that she, the visionary, should be worried. I did my own research, and one article stated that demonic visions may occur when someone has an abrubt change in their faith and lifestyle. In the past 2 weeks, she has been socialing with a man sepertaed with his wife, she claims they never kissed or anything and that him lying in bed next to her to watch tv was not against her catholic faith. She has also started drinking after being sober for 2yrs.... She said that God had asked her not to drink. I need support, who is right

Answer 1

Find better friends. I would stay away from this one.

Answer 2

Your friend sounds pretty weird. While demons do exist, attributing a sleepy person's red eyes to demonic activity is lunacy. I would follow the advice of your other friends and stay away from her for the time being.

Don't worry about your own spiritual well being because of this. It sounds like you are a Catholic. If you are staying close to Jesus and the sacraments you do not need to worry about demons bothering you. And once again, it doesn't sound like there was any demon involved here, but rather the disturbed imagination of your friend. So pray, pray for her and yourself. The St Michael prayer never hurts if you're worried about this. It also would be a good idea to talk to a priest you trust about this matter.

Hang in there!

Answer 3

First off, take a deep breath and calm down. There is no right and wrong ... everything just is. There could be hundreds of possible explanations for what your friend saw. She could have been projecting inadequacies she feels about herself onto you. She could have picked up on lower energies that sometimes attach themselves to spiritual people. It could be a subconscious attempt to find fault with you because of the choices she's made. You may never find out why this vision occurred.

Ask yourself if you were judging her actions in any way. It's easy to watch the movie and make assumptions when you're not in the movie. It's not our job to judge; it is our job to love. Is she a true friend to you; and are you a true friend to her? True friends can tell eachother anything without fear of judgment or rejection. Is your faith strong enough to handle any situation? Do you Fully Rely On God?

I wouldn't worry about either of you being "possessed". Talk with your priest and see what advice he has to offer.

Answer 4

Hi, if you have a vision or dream that represents any demonic activity or fear of any sorts don't give them any of your time, any thing that is fear based won't help you at all. If you are wanting direction and you seek obove by either praying or meditating on God's word God will answer you but not in a fearfull way. Domonic dreams and visions, may come from the spiritual world but not from any heavenly places.Take no thought to them and certainly do not speak about them as this will only promote fear and disbeleif in the word of God. Do the things that God says to do and ask for strength if you want help.

Answer 5

You have got to be kidding.

You both need to stop poping prozac. If she had a vision like that stay away from her and make sure you hide your checkbook because thats about to come up missing and check to see if your identity has been stollen. When I close my eyes for half a second and think about your commentary I get the impression that either she is bipolar and off her medications or you are. And you really need to get a life.

Answer 6

The fist thing I would do is to pray to Jesus Christ and invite Him into my life as Lord and Savior. Then I would pray for my friend and ask for God's guidance in this situation.
Personally, I would not spend the night at your friend's house again. She may very well be unstable and if she's an alcoholic, she is poisoning her brain. If she's being tempted, there may very well be demons around her trying to influence her.
I don't know enough about you to give my opinion as to whether or not you are under attack. I do believe, however, tht if you are a true believer of Christ, you cannot be possessed.

Answer 7

There is a ancient and wise saying from the east that applies here: Horse sh*t!

Relax and enjoy your life. Don't worry about demons, visions, or nuts who have demonic visions. Don't believe all the hype about demons. They cannot hurt you. They are weak and powerless, and can only influence you by getting you to use your own divine power against yourself. It is all lie. Your friend is not a seer. She is a nut.

Answer 8

I'd say that not only has she been drinking, she has indeed been smoking as well. The question is what was she smoking?
People who claim to see demonic visions are nuts who need professional help.

Answer 9

i think your friend is no friend at all and that she had started calling your other friends even before you came knocking on their door. some kind of 'friends.' don't get bothered by it. they think they are so 'spiritual'. they, too, have their own demons to confront. it would have been a laugh if you also told your friend that she, too have red eyes from staying up all night watching you sleep! ha ha ha.

Answer 10

Your scapula is your shoulder blade, so I seriously doubt you grabbed that. That statement makes me question whether the rest of your question is a fantasy and/or a drinking related issue.

Answer 11

It is good you have a scapular, I assume its a brown scapular.

Make a novena to Saint Michael the Archangel for your friend. (the link is below) say it for nine days.

Pray the rosary and ask for our Lady's intercession.
Your friend needs your prayers.
