Could this be a demonic presence/oppression?

Question

where to begin; My family seems to have been having this demonic "influence" which i suspect was passed from my grandpa. He was 100% opressed by a demon. He was a very weak man who was an alchoholic and was probably open to such a thing. My dad was his oldest son of 9 children. My dad was able to rise above his horrifying childhood and became a police officer, married my mother, and became a christian. They had 4 kids (i am the oldest). My grandpa died when i was 16, on my brother's 10th birthday. Sometime after the death, my brother changed and became really quite bad ( cannot even say). Around the same time, my sister (then 15) experienced psych. troubles that have never reached an end (cutting, anorexia, bulimia). I was unnaffected, but i moved out of that crazy house when i was in high school.
I since got married and got preggo. Very close to my due date, my dad killed himself, it seemed he had finally succumbed to....something.
Since his suicide....hold on, no more room.....

...my sister has been screaming in the middle of the night very terribly. she doesn't remember, only her roomates tell her. (She goes to a christian college)One time, her roomate woke at 2 am to see a man's silouette approaching emily (my sis), when he stood over her, emily screamed that awful scream, the roomate looked at emily, and back at the man, and he was gone. My dad had seen a similar "silouette" leaving emily's room at around 2 am a couple years before. He went after him to find no one. emily had never told anyone of this, and now her roomate saw the same thing. emily spent the night at my house soon after this and slept in the same room as my 2 yr old daughter. After emily left, we had a problem with our daughter screaming for no reason in the middle of the night, like someone was hurting her. I told emily this, and then she explained to me about what her roomate had seen. And she said that strangely, after she spent the night at my house, she stopped screaming...

Answer 1

And what would make you think that "demons" had anything to do with any of this?

I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous excuse-making.

Answer 2

No it's not a demonic pressence. U didn't see it but your Dad was depressed thats why he killed himself. It happens often enough b/c if unless u see the signs of depression u end up not knowing.
Your sister has self esteem issues which led to her eating disorders and cutting herself. I hope u got her some pshycological help. Have no idea what preggo means so I have no opion on that. Ghosts don't exist. Your sister and her roomate are very imaginative. Making u imaginative too. IF there was a man it could've been the ghost of you father keeping a eye on her like a gurdian angel.

little ones! What a outstanding miracle!! i love little ones!! IVF, It appears like such an exceedingly good idea, in idea! wow! It enables human beings to have little ones that they could no longer conceive obviously for... even with reason? Ah, yet each so often, perhaps God did have a reason. I study the tiniest toddler very last 365 days. the toddler became created by potential of IVF. the mother had an undiagnosed issue such as her cervix! She might want to no longer effectively carry a toddler to an entire time period beginning! * It truthfully endangered the toddler's life! She had untimely exertions and may want to no longer carry the toddler to time period! !! Yikes! the toddler became alive, yet i do not comprehend for the way lengthy!* i wish it survived! What a sad tale! The medical specialist did not foresee this issue (with the female's woman factors,cervix.) i do not have self assurance the mother became attentive to this difficulty! both. i visit't locate the link about the IVF area, darn it. I examine it. i became very demanding about IVF and God's plan. perhaps there will be more suitable adoptions and a lot less abortions? Why IVF? Why does it would want to be your DNA? This toddler became in problem-free words 20 weeks alongside or so! Wow! Abortions are allowed till 12 weeks? did you comprehend you are able to verify the sex of that toddler now? That abortion is a toddler! "little ones can nonetheless be aborted for non-clinical causes at as a lot as 24 weeks. cutting-edge data shows that, of those born at 25 weeks, 1/2 of them take care of to stay." scroll right down to the end of the cyber web web site. *replace lower than, certain, lives in the present day, over one 365 days later!

Answer 4

I cannot believe some of the answers here.

Avoid your family? What the hell!? How about giving them some love and support - which is what I believe Christians are supposed to do - and work with them to find a good counsellor or shrink who can maybe help them sort themselves out?

And starving the demons out? You mean like they did to Anneliese Michel, a poor schizophrenic girl who was starved to death? Thankfully the parents and the priest were convicted of manslaughter for that atrocity and the Church had the good sense to reverse it's decree of demonic possession.

This is the twenty-first century, people. Time to put aside your idiocies and get to grips with current medical knowledge.

Answer 5

What you are talking about is known as generational curses. They are passed down from one generation to the next generation. But don't worry, the blood of Jesus cancels those curses. He did for me. I use to be an alcoholic. It ran wild on both sides of my family. My grandfather died at the age of 36 from it. Like your dad, my parents had such an aweful childhood, that they stayed away from getting drunk, but because they did not have Jesus in their lives, they brought me up to be codependant, which made me in bondage to other peoples emotions, which caused me to over react and actually cause problems in my life by worrying too much. When God filled me with His Spirit, God took that desire from me, as if I never was an Alcoholic. He took away my depression and made me whole!Also cancer and Heart problems took my relatives before they were 59. I am happy to say that I do not have these problems. And since I have the fullness of the God in my life, the annointing has carried over to my Father and eventhough he is not a "Born Again" Christian, he is living a happy long life, he is almost 90 years old and he is still driving and working and living on his own! My suggestion for you is to draw closer to God because in His presence, there is fulness of joy and in His presence bondages and curses are broken.

I will pray for you and your little one and apply the blood of Jesus over your lives.

Answer 6

Yes, this is a sign of a demon. If and when she truly accepts Chist into her heart she can tell the demon to leave! Jesus has authority over these demons. Jesus and a demon can not reside in her. A demon can attach himself but reside. Please see a minister about this. This should be taken very seriously. My experience tells me not to see a Baptist minister because "they", in general, truly don't know how to handle this type of situation. She has to believe that she has been healed even whenshe does not see the result right away. I will pray for you and her right now!

Answer 7

Many times, Souls reincarnate in a close knit family because of their karmic patterns. It is best you try and work out the karma that ties you together with the rest of your old family as best as you can, and as soon as you can. I think you are doing that already. Mind you, this is not to say that you would not help your siblings or mother when you can.

Teach your sister to sing or chant HU (the ancient name of God that never fails to elicit a response) whenever the "man" appears again. If the man is demonic, the HU will keep him at bay; otherwise, his presence will be comforting. You may do well to sing HU in times of trouble too. This has nothing to do with religious affiliations. The HU works regardless of one's belief.

Answer 8

I am also Christian and I must tell you that these events do not sound supernatural. Bad yes, demonic no. Your brothers troubles and yours are more likely from the instability of growing up around alcoholism and your father's death could not possibly have improved your situation. I agree with the atheists that advised you to seek professional counseling. I hope and pray you find peace.

Answer 9

Well, demonic oppression occurs on all flesh....whether you serve God or not.
That is because we live in a jaded world and oppressing the very humans God created in His image is the mission of the fallen ones...

Your question and life history, is saddening to me. I extend my heart felt thoughts to you. I do not think generational curses exist today, although I think that each individual person can make their own decisions "good or bad" that will help make themselves vulnerable and more open to direct attacks.
It is not a haunting...it is not a curse to break...it ultimately is the choices each person makes that opens us up more and more to being oppressed.

Protection comes from the Lord...but He never promises that we will walk free from the influences around us...He promised He would walk with us...the reason is..our hearts are still made of flesh..but if you pray...He will lead you thru..I promise. =)

Answer 10

There is no clear answer to these problems, however it is extremely possible to be influenced by demonic spirits. Alcoholism lets these evil spirits in, that's why Alcohol is sometimes referred to as "wine and Spirits)
Drinking in moderation is not wrong.
These evil spirits can inhabit a person ( and sometimes are left in a house) and alter their life.
Please pray and ask God to remove these evil influences from your family. Many people have problems, such as your family has experienced, altho yours seem to be ongoing..You should research Spiritual people who may be able to help you and your family, as this phenomenum is very real. Prayers can be very effective in getting these evil spirits to leave.
I pray that God would allow only good and clean spirits and the Holy Spirit to enter your lives. God Bless you and your family.

Answer 11

Yes it is demonic influences..since many people don't believe that the vices of this life can lead to evil spirits overtaking them...for instance alcoholism ...starts out as a social drink(er) and in time can lead to alcoholism..why because when we in our curiosity try those things..we are surrendering our will to it...and the devil is right there waiting for you to relinquish your will to it..he then sets you up for a fall in that area...

let me show you..Genesis 4:6-7...Cain as you know in the story gives God an offering...Abel gave th better offering then cain...and when cain gave his offering and it was not accepted..God told him...vs7..f thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.....Another words if you do the right thing you will be accepted but if not..sin awaits you..like cigarettes drugs and alcohol...and many many other things.....When we give to the Lord our lives...He is waiting for you to give your ALL...the good the bad the ugly...It is when we hold back from the Lord...the bad and the ugly...that it becomes an offering of ourselves...another words what we want...like cain...if we give ALL of ourselves to the Lord it is the better offering...In that because God can get the glory for delivering you from those things we look at as being the bad and ugly...when you hold back from God ...you still have those things in you that are not pleasing to him..and they wait at the door...ready for you to continue your deed...by doing that you allow the enemy back in...and he takes control of your habit..and it becomes almost unbreakable...YOU MUST TOTALLY SURRENDER it to God...I don't know what your dad may have been doing...I don't condemn him...and I am sorry he met such a bad end...but now that you have an idea...you can break the cycle...and Let God have his way completely in your life...TRUST GOD...with everything you are

one last example...People who say they are curious..like homosexuals...you see how they start out ...just being curious...they try it and if they continue...the devil comes in and changes their whole way of thinking...like I said there are many many things ..THAT WE allow into our lives ...that the devil tries to take over...God bless
