OF COURSE i pray in the name of Jesus to forgive my sins, im 16 and i have been believing in my savior since i was a little baby.

Answer 1

Talk to your pastor..and ask others that you know who are Christians to pray for you...Find a Christian mentor that you can meet with every week or every other week to discuss some of the feelings you are having.

Answer 2

Praying usually works, but if the demon keeps coming back, find another Christian to pray with. It's a lot more reassuring when there's a group of people praying for you. Of course you must grow stronger in faith so that you can become braver. Once you no longer fear the devil, they will not bother you anymore. Of course there will still be obstacles in your walk of faith, but the devil won't be as big of a presence once you are close enough to God you no longer fear him.

The devil is scared whenever someone becomes a Christian. That's why demons try to scare us. Find a local Church and talk to the pastor. If they have a youth group, show up and talk to the youth pastor and have other people your age pray with you too. It's going to help.

It also helps when there's a big prayer thing going on. I've been to a camp by Radical Reality. It's run by Donnie Moore and I have seen people go in and become new people. There were people with a similar situation to this one, and during camp, they stopped having these kinds of dreams. Of course, summer's ending so the next one would probably be next year, but if there's something similar going on that's not necessarily a camp I suggest going there and hope it's not a fake one.

Best thing I can think of is finding a group of strong Christians to pray with you. Also, try growing stronger so that you don't fear the devil as much. It's going to be hard for you, but God can do anything. I'll try praying for you too.

Answer 3

Ok first of all reading the Bible everyday is not what saves you, and gives you protection against the evil one. It is the shed blood of Christ that does that. So you must be sure that you are true Christian, one that has admitted that you are a sinner, and confess your sin and turn for it, and accept Christ as Savior. You may have already done this, so if you have remember that the Bible is the sword you can use against the devil, however you must remember that Christ alone makes Satan and his demons go away. You are right that the closer we get to God the more then demons will try and attack. Notice the word - TRY. If you are really a born again child of God, the devil cannot possess you. He can do everything to try and persuade you. The best weapon against the devil, is speak scripture to him and praise Jesus. WHY- when people praise Him, Satan flees. What did Jesus, Himself , do when in the desert for 40 days and Satan was tempting Him? Jesus quoted passages of the OT. Read the accounts in the gospels. "Flee from the devil, and he will flee from you".

Answer 4

When you read the bible everyday, satan is not happy about that. It is good to pray to God to protect you and help you, but you need to have some sort of preventative measure. This means not just praying and that's it, you have to develop a lifestyle of worship and praise.

Afterall, when a person sweeps and cleanses his or her "house" they must do something to protect it from being invaded. To prevent any demons coming against you at all, you must not only be righteous and cleansed from evil, you need to then fill the empty spaces. Fill yourself with God's Holy Spirit... spend time meditating upon Him, in worshipping on your own... singing, praising...etc. When you are overflowing with God's spirit, you will give no place for a demon to even approach you, because a demon cannot approach God. Don't let this demon tell you the closer you are to God the more it attacks, it is trying to convince you of a lie. Don't let the demon tell you ANY lies... a demon won't be able to convince you of any lies or even be able to tell you lies if you are in deep worship and when you are, it is there that God will personally tell you the truth. (The truth is also in the bible, as you know) Remember and believe this truth in and out of worship... but preferrably, stay in worship even as you go about your day if you can. (What i mean is, a form of it: think of Jesus, talk to him in thought, rejoice in His Holy spirit... overflowing with joy, love and peace)! Do NOT believe the lies any demon may try to convince you of. EVER...

I'll keep you in my prayers... I know how difficult demon attacks can be, however it does not have to be a difficult victory. Believe... Trust God... concentrate on loving God, and you will be protected.

Answer 5

The most important thing to remember is that you are in a life & death battle with the most powerful adversary known to man. Do not try to fight this battle by yourself. Individual prayers to Jesus, God the Father and the Holy Spirit are essential, but you also need a group of Christians to help cover your back. I believe that the Holy Spirit often excercises His power by working through other Christians. I beleive that God will provide Christians to support you who have battled similir Demons and mental illnesses. A spiritual adviosr such as a mature pastor with wisdom, humility and compasson is essential to help guide you to study the most appropriate Bible verses. Finally a good therapist who takes Demonic possession seriously is also important to help you to recognize and understand the negative experiences in your chidlhood. I strongly suggest that you read Scot Peck's book on Evil titled "People of the Lie" In the book Peck explains why almost all mental illness originates from negative childhood experiences caused by selfish narcisstic individuals that do not have empathy for children. May God bless and protect you. I suggest that you focus on Matthew Chapters 7 and 18 to hellp you learn how to confront and forgive in a Christ like manner (at the approriate time) the Evil people that have hurt you when you were a child.

Answer 6

If I had your problem, I would ask God to "cover me with the blood of Jesus" for protection. Then I would say to Satan/demons....... "the blood of Jesus is against you, you foul, unclean spirits!" Then call out the name of Jesus until you feel at peace with yourself. The demonic spirits will leave immediately. Resist the devil and he will flee from you......James 4:7 Have annointed men and women of God pray over you as often as possible, until the demon leaves you alone. Find an independent church or home prayer group to attend on a regular basis. [Are you doing this?] Also read 1 Peter 5:8 ....be sober, be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour, whom you must immediately resist, strong in faith..... so, don't give him any ground. The word of God is for you. Don't give up.

Answer 7

If you are asking a serious question and not just having fun making things up then I have the following:
Why did you start reading the Bible?
Are you a Christian? Are you seeking Him?
If you are a Christian then something like this has no power over you and you can brush it away in the name of Christ.
If however you are not a Christian then this thing is here to discourage you because it doesn't want you finding the truth that is in the Scriptures.
You need to go before God's throne and confess yourself before Him as being a sinner in need of a saviour and accept Christ as Lord of your life.
Once this takes place these other things have no claim on anything of you.

Answer 8

One thing that you are definitely doing right is to ask for help. As a christian you should have a fellowship with other christians that will help you with things just like this. We, who answer should already be praying for you right now and even with our help you can also ask your Pastor or other christian leader to give you answers.
One question though- Have you, when you prayed, told the demons to leave "in Jesus' name"? Remember that Jesus said that we have to ask in his name because only through Him can we be saved.

Answer 9

If you are a new Christian you are "being tried in the fire" or tested.

This will pass if you stop thinking about it and just keep reading the bible.

It will help you greatly if you find a Christian Group to join or a new church that suits you.

There is no need to use set prayers. Simply pray to God from your heart as you would talk to a special friend or father.

Answer 10

First of all, you are reading the bible but have you repented of your sins and accepted Jesus as your savior? His is the only name that can protect you against the enemy. You must do this first.

Secondly, after you do this (and if you do not, you will be a sitting duck), say "in the name of Jesus Christ I send you away to the place that Jesus would have for you to go". Just say it matter of factly...like you know these entities are no higher than gnats on the floor compared to who Jesus is. So use His name and ask Him to put a hedge of thorns around you, that no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Keep in bible study and prayer and praise and worship and use that phrase whenever you are bothered. He is much more powerful than any evil spirit, and His name will instantly dismiss them.

"Submit yourself to God, resist the devil and he must flee". Notice the word MUST.

Answer 11

Know that God will protect u....talk to God about it and tell Him ur fears.

It is common that the closer u get to God, the more satan will persue u....KEEP UR EYES ON JESUS. u give satan and the demons power by believing they can hurt u...with God, they cannot hurt u.

U maybe reading the old testament which can be quite violent. Go to the New Testament and read there 1st and get to know Jesus better before trying the Old testament.
