How can I ask Jesus for forgiveness for something I did really bad?

Question

When I mediate or close my eyes; I see red eyes millions of them and sometimes pairs. In other words what I'm saying is, "I've put my trust and faith in what man says not God over a higher power." I've called a higher power to allow me to see into the future with my 3rd eye with help; yep, help from a demon. I feel that I've learned my lesson and I would like these red eyes to stop. How can I go to him with this? I know he's punshing me...

Answer 1

Jesus is ready to forgive you. You have apparently, if I understand correctly invoked a demon. You also believe that the demon is active in your life and prayers.

I don't believe that God is punishing you. But if you have chosen to seek the guidance of demons, he will allow you to do that. But you have not done anything that is beyond God's forgiveness.

Remember that Jesus has the authority over demons. So before you close your eyes, ask Jesus to send the Holy Spirit to protect you during your prayers. Tell him that you love him and repent of seeking help from demons. Ask him to clear your home and your life from the demons. Then when you close your eyes, if you see the eyes just again ask Jesus to remove the power of the demon. Do this as often as needed, simply continue to open yourself to the Holy Spirit and to let Jesus deal with the demons.

They may try to deceive you with lies (God will never forgive you, God has abandoned you, etc.). Ignore the lies and simply continue to talk to Jesus and to ask him to control them.

It might be helpful to do this with your pastor or a friend who can pray with you.

Answer 2

In your practice trying to use a higher power, was it for self-achieving riches and power? You may not admit this. If this is so, then the punisher you see is your own self greed. The misuse of the third eye manifested into the millions of those who have also abused this. Just as you have placed an image of the third eye, now is the time to place an image of Christ with you at the foot of the cross. Redirect the faith and trust you had before to Jesus, knowing that He forgives you for the misconduct. When you feel the peace surround you, forgivness has been given.

Most people, like you, do not have a lot of problems with demons, untill they try and break loose from their grip. It is not easy and it would not surprize me if you have some problems with this for the rest of your life. However, there is victory and realease through Jesus Christ. The first thing to do is to go in prayer to Jesus and ask for deliverance from it. That may be much harder than you think, and you may not be able to pray at all at first. Sometimes you may need a really mature godly person to pray with you or for you. (A little hint, stay away from Pentacostals and those who get into psychic experiences lke tongues, they have their own problems with demons) Begin a very rigorous reading of the Bible, and again if you can`t because the letters move on the page or anything like that you may need someone to read to you, or get a audio Bible. As much as possible do not think on demonic thngs or perverted things which the demon may bring into your mind. Eventually you will come to the place where you can confess your sin to God and seek His forgiveness. Go back to the original involvement with the occult and deal with that sin, even if it was in your childhood, or in your parents lives even before you were born. Many people will think I am crazy just for writing these things to you, but I`ve been there!

Hi Liz,

i would suggest first just praying directly to Jesus, you can confess what you've done almost in the same way you've stated it here on Y! Answers.

Having seen that the "spiritual world" is a reality- please do keep in mind that there may be a battle. You may also want to find some mature Christians to pray for you- casting out the demon or evil in the name of Jesus- i'm not sure how deeply involved you were in the occult but there may still be some demonic oppression and hopefully not possession.

God is punishing you- the demon may be. God wants to free you from this- and i think you can go to the powerful name of Jesus- but also you may need some help. i'd suggest finding a good Bible believing church and asking the people there for help.

Hope that helps. Kindly,

Nickster

P.S.: Feel free to email me if there is anything i can do to help.

Answer 5

First, understand that God is over ALL. Even the demons tremble at His very name. God knows that you have went down a dark road. However, there is no road that is TOO dark. There is nothing that we can do that God won't forgive if we truly seek His forgiveness.

Look at the accounts with demons in the Bible. Some chose to be influenced by them. Others didn't. However, when Christ freed them from the demons they all stood on the same level ground of grace and forgiveness.

They key for you is repentance. That means that you need to do a 180 degree u-turn. Completely seek to deny the work of Satan and seek the face of God. God will forgive you and restore you, if you truly desire Him to. Psalm 37:4, "Delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desire." If your heart truly wants to be revived and restored, God wil do as this verse says.

I will pray for you. You need more help, message me.

Answer 6

I will pray for you. Prayer is the first step now that you have realize what you were doing is wrong. Ask the Lord to be your Lord and He will gladly do it. Then, follow Him and turn you back on the sin. Get into the Word and study it. Anytime you feel like you need help because you are struggling, then email or IM. It will not always be easy, but if you need support, I and my family will be here for you.

How to Break Strongholds and keep them Broken!

1. AUTHORITY -- Every believer has the right to use the authority of Jesus' name to bind and take authority over Satan's activities. "No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house" (Mark 3:27). Issue a spoken command to the devil that he is bound and he must leave the stronghold! Exercising authority in the name of Jesus will expel the Devil's influence. "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues..." (Mark 16:17).

2. INTERCESSION -- Come together with other believers to pray and intercede against strongholds until you get results. There is intensified power in the gathering of more believers. Prayer with fasting intensifies faith, and faith will break strongholds. "Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast him out? However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting" (Matthew 17:19,21).

3. DISPLACEMENT -- Establish the presence of God. Where Satan has been commanded to leave, fill it up with God's presence. Where the presence of the Lord is, the Devil isn't! Satan doesn't want to hang around where people are lifting up Jesus in worship, in singing and prayer. The presence of the Lord displaces the Devil. "For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14).

4. RESISTANCE -- Submit yourselves and draw close to God. The Bible says this is how we resist Satan and he will flee. The Devil runs from submitted, yielded Christians. He runs from your life, and will run away from where you go. "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 4:7).

5. OCCUPATION -- Give no place or vacancy to the Devil. With Satan departed, fill the void with God. Let righteousness be the standard rule and behavior. Provide no pocket of rebellion, corruption or immorality in which Satan can find refuge to rebuild his influence or strength. The scripture says to not "give place to the devil" (Eph. 4:27).

6. FORTIFICATION -- Clothe yourself with God's armor. Take upon you daily, the full array of God's spiritual equipment that you may maintain battle-ready status. With the shield of faith, the sword of the Spirit (God's Word) and the other links of armor (Eph. 6:13-17), you will be ready to resist any satanic assault, and will be ready to engage the strongholds in others. "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11).

Answer 8

Jesus died on the cross for all of humanity's sins (supposably). I am sure you will be forgiven! And demons, don't worry about them, just live your life the way you want to and always do your work and your life should be good.

Also, you might want to go to the doctor, or an eye doctor to get your eyes checked out, just to make sure nothing is wrong with them.

Answer 9

How can you ask? Baby girl, ain't nothing to it but to do it. The bible says if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I suggest you go to a Bible believing pastor and his wife and tell them what is going on, because you may-no, YOU DO need spiritual deliverance. You should fast and pray. If you do have Jesus in your heart, you have the authority to tell those demons to leave you alone. But in this case, I feel strongly that you will need help from someone else in authority.

Answer 10

Currently, the one punishing you is not God. You're dealing with the consequences of your previous actions. But you CAN ask Jesus for forgiveness and He WILL FORGIVE YOU! The red eyes may or may not go away. But if they don't, He can give you the strength to carry on.
