By this, even to the non-Christians, I mean, sin, bad things in life, even the devil himself,can all of this try to screw up your mental state and fill it with fear, doubt, and unscertainty?
Every time I keep turning closer to God, and what not, I keep having more and more setbacks, like something is trying desperately to keep me from God.
Ironically, today, I was taking a nap, and then woke up and a sudden flush of fear overhwhelmed me and a sense of doom came over me.
Immediately, I realized I was probably h aving a panic attack and took some meds for it, but my spiritual side felt attacked as well. I felt very scared, fearful, and doomed. Almost like, F*ck I've sinned, I've not made my amends with God, and now the devil is coming to take me to hell, and I started to freak out, because it literally felt like that.
Basically something out of the exorcist. I felt like I was getting possessed by something, and the world around me looked SCARY!
of course I didn't tell

the doctors that, they would have put me in the nuthouse for sure.
Maybe I'm nuts for even thinking this!
But if there IS something more going on out there, guys let me know.
Because #1, I don't want to burn in hell, and #2, I don't want anything evil or spiritual in nature overpowering me, and trying to scare me.
Today felt like a huge scarefest, and I was literally convinced I was going to hell, that I was a god awful person, and that i'm going to suffer and burn for all eternity.
I was that scared, and the feelings were that overpowering, that they made my heart quadruple. It was bad.
Someone help!

Would God ever give us such states, as possibly a wakeup call?
All I know was, that I've chosen to willingfully sin and what not even despite knowing God, and that to me felt like a big scary wake up call to do the right thing before it's too late. lol.
Honestly, I can't look at it that way because that sounds really freaky to me, so I took the rational scientific approach, and deduced it down to panic attack and took meds.
But I'm scared.

Yes the enemy wars in the mind. We overcome him by faith. Come now and let us reason together saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be as crimson, they shall be as wool. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way, and the Lord has laid on Christ, the iniquity of us all. God commends His love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. For by grace are we saved through faith, and not of ourselves. It is the gift of God; not of works lest any man should boast. Believe the Lord, call upon Him in the day of trouble and He will deliver thee. Whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, even in the darkness where there is no light and it seems God is so far away; lean not on your own understanding, your own reasoning, and He will direct your steps. Commit your way unto the Lord and He will bring it to pass. Let us come boldly unto the throne of God's grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Submit to God and the devil will flee from you. Confess your sins to the Lord and He is faithful to forgive you your sins and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Life is hard, but God is good. You will have to live daily in dependence on the LORD. You overcome by His grace. So go to the throne of grace always. Feed yourself on the Word of God. Let it soak in. You overcome demonization by repenting from sin and walking with God. It is a process, but keep in the word and keep believing the promises of God even if your feelings are in protest. God's word is true no matter how our feelings are. Believe His word. Walk by faith. Memorize scripture and repeat it always. Put scripture in your mind when bad thoughts come. The battle is in the mind. Think on good things. Get some real help from someone who understands spiritual warfare. You need to repent. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. By grace we overcome. The grace of the Lord Jesus .

Yes it is an unpleasant thing. However, one does need to realise that it wouldn't happen if those Kayyam rockets had not been launched towards Israeli civilian areas, with the intent to kill normal people - mothers, men, children. If rockets were being sent from northern Mexico into the US and the Mexican government wouldn't do anything to stop it, there would probably be a reaction. Similarly if Indian hindu insurgents sent bombs over to Islamabad, the Pakistani government would not stand back and do nothing. Violence begets violence because of the fallen nature of mankind.

The simple fact that you said every time I start getting closer to God.. this happens,I emphatically believe you are under Satanic attack. ( That is exactly what Satan is... a supernatural power of suggestion to the mind). That is why we need to protect our minds , and be careful what we watch, read and listen to.Filling our minds with the scripture gives us the weapons we need to do battle with the devil.Satan will try to do everything He can to keep us from fulfilling our God given destiny. Just don't let it stop you. Keep drawing closer to God and He will draw closer to you. Resist the devil and He will flee. Don't be afraid...The words "Do not fear are in the Bible over 300 times. God has not given us a Spirit of fear but of power and of courage and a sound mind. If you have God on your side there is nothing to fear. It may be that you are going to accomplish much for the kingdom of God and Satan is not too happy about that. Don't listen to him. God has put Satan under our feet. I suggest you get a copy of Battlefield Of The Mind by Joyce Meyer .God bless!!!

The devils can only lie to you. The lies may have some truth in them, but what "they" tell you is at best, a lie.
Do you have unrepented of sin in your life? Sin is an open door. The devil is free to attack you with fear and your defense against him is weakened when the door of sin is open.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

This is one of the many down-sides of xianity.
There are no invisible guys in the sky and nor do demons exist; they're all human constructs to keep the lower classes in line.
You see, this is where xianity comes undone - subjects are forced to pretend there’s an invisible man in the sky who watches everything y'all say, think and do, 24/7, as he screams in your ear: TELL ME YOU LOVE ME! TELL ME AGAIN! I DIDN'T HEAR YOU! over and over and over.
That would drive ME insane.
I pity the not so mentally strong among us who really do hear these things and 'imagine' the demonic forces are coming to take them away.
Listen kid; get your self some sorta psyche help WITHOUT religious overtones.
Religion was invented to keep the poor under control and to enable the rich to get richer.
Back in 50 AD Seneca knew what was going on when he said: Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
There’s good money in religion, TREATING it or PUSHING it, IF you can keep a straight face.

Yes there are other things out there, yes you need to fear them. But if you believe in your god, then ask for his protection, know that with his white lite of protection surrounding you, nothing can penetrate, nothing can hurt u. But only if u believe in your god. If you are still uncertain of your faith, the demons that are fighting for you will continue to fight for you until they find an opening or a loophole to get in.
You are on meds, so you are probably not imagining these things, you are probably just more intuitive, and are afraid of what you are able to see and feel, and everyone around you thinks you are nuts, so they put you on meds so that these feelings are muted, please be careful. Meds can be helpful or dangerous.
Peace be with you,

There is only one evil Ignorance and only one good Knowledge~Socrates .. go out and seek knowledge to relieve your ignorant fear and you will feel much better....

ephesians 6:10 "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[fn3] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Eph 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Eph 6:15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
Eph 6:18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints."
my prayers.

It could be your own mind or it could be outside psychic forces. At this time of year, the fire-ettins (fire spirits - you might call them demons) are looking for a warm place to hide for the winter. Some of them are very bad. In my beliefs, we use protection runes for this purpose - they are very powerful. As a former Christian returning to the ways of my ancestors, I found for me the runes were more powerful than any Christian prayers. Refer to the rune page in the sources.
The Hagall rune is also very protective. The best way to get a hagal rune this time of year is look in the Christmas section of the store for a six-pointed snowflake ornament. Hang this in your room to protect you against evil intrusions.
