Hello there all,
I am brand new to these forums and usually come through looking for advice and inspiration but had to post regarding this issue.
I have had this problem for almost ten years. It started the day before my 17th birthday. I am now 26 and find myself still battling these thoughts. I dont know where they came from and just know that the past couple of days have caused me immense anxiety and panic attacks. I say prayers every night, am saying a novena now and and bless myself and drink holy water every night. Its an everyday battle. I am actually going to a therapist right now and have an appointment this coming friday. I pray to the Good Lord every night that some day i will no longer fear satan or possession and never have to deal with it again. Every day it creeps up and the panic starts. I have done some emotional freedom therapies with my therapist which have helped because the anxiety and panic attack isnt as bad as it was but i feel i still have a ways to go. I do not take pleasure in the original posters grief but i must admit i was comforted because Im not alone.
its like every night i wait to get possessed and dare it which is soo weird bc its obviously the opposite of what i want. I feel foolish and stupid for writing this but if we work together and are a support system for each other maybe we can help each other through all of this. So just know… you are not alone. Tonight I will pray for you and for some relief.
My therapist said that fear of the devil is quite common, which surprised me but someone mentioned above that he distracts us and uses fear instead of love. If anyone has any insight please share.
Not sure how i will sleep tonight but i pray that everyone sleeps well! Look forward to speaking and hearing everyones opinions and insights!

God Bless!

Tasha, :hug1: I’m sorry you are going through this… it is true that the devil uses fear! you know what I realized after this thread… I was not possessed and God wouldn’t simply allow someone to be possessed if they aren’t seeking it with all their will. You’re trying to follow God, you are praying, saying a novena, using holy water, trying to fight these temptations… that is NOT seeking to be possessed!! the devil is trying to scare you… also maybe there’s something psychological, but the devil often uses that too (I know that has happened to me).

Remember how weak and powerless the devil is compared to God. Have you ever seen the movie “the Passion of the Christ”? If you did, remember how at the end when Jesus overcomes sin and death - the devil sees he’s lost it all? he’s afraid of even the very name of Jesus. Call out to Him and ask Him to always keep you safe, and trust in His power. Let Him defend you… don’t do this on your own… but really try to learn perfect trust in God.

Also remember how you definitely do NOT want to be possessed… or have anything to do with the demons. It’s really horrible being around them and most people don’t realize how horrible it is, imo. So just don’t focus on them at all. Focus on God… don’t let any fear overcome you.

I will pray for you too… God bless :hug1:
 
:hug1::hug1: Right back at ya!
I just got through finished saying prayers and I thank you for your response. I just found it oddly comforting yet interesting that you experienced the exact same things I did and do.
Fear has just kind of invaded my life completely and just backed me into a corner. Any little negativity triggers me into a panic and then into omg im gonna get possessed or he is just waiting to get in me. Ridiculous I know. they are repetitive thoughts and I am working on ways to stop and to learn how to love God with my whole heart which I still have lots to learn.
But thank you for your prayers! God Bless and talk to you soon hopefully.
