Hello all…this is my first post…and have been away from the church for quite sometime…I am a seeker of God and have been experiencing many spirit presences…some good…some bad…however I am naïve in discerning…

I have been encountering “visitors” in our home…most times these are harmless encounters…however scary at times…What concerns me is that I have been attacked in my sleep with the feeling of paralysis and a “beingesque” presence that I feel in form that has at times sexually , and physically at times tried to assault me…if I remain calm enough they will speak to me…why am I experiencing this? and what should I do? I am lost, confused and would like help/advice…I am so very thankful…
 
I am certainly not qualified to advise you on this, but I would suggest seeking the counsel of a priest soon as the first thing I would probably do. Maybe a visit to the doctor wouldn`t be a bad idea either. I suggest the doctor because sometimes an unknown medical condition could be responsible for things like this. Are you taking any kind of medication?
 
I would certainly get the house blessed!! that is the first thing. well the first thing I would do is go to confession and receive the sacraments and then have the house blessed. That would be my advice. Then see a priest that is a spiritual director or one that is into that field. Mike.
 
I would look up a condition called “sleep paralysis.” See if the symptoms match yours and how you feel. I have experienced it several times in my life and it can be quite terrifying.

If you don’t feel that’s what it is, then definitely talk to a priest and get your house officially blessed. Invoke God and Jesus’ name during another “attack” and see if this makes them leave.

What things are they telling you?
 
So…how long have you been away from the Church and what have you been involved in? Anything with the occult…or spiritualism outside the Church. Specifics would help. However I am also in agreement with other posters, talk to a priest first and possibly a medical doctor or CATHOLIC psychologist. I suspect there’s been some evil spiritual influence somewhere along the line but don’t really know you’re whole story. I will pray. Also when/if you pray ask for the Blood of Jesus to cover and protect you. Go to the Sacrament of Confession and receive the Eucharist afterwards. You NEED the sacraments.

I would second the previous posts. See a priest ASAP and see a doctor ASAP. The priest can help determine what spiritual things are going on and/or direct you to another priest who deals with demonology (if necessary). The doctor to rule-out any sleep disorders or issues like that.

Say lots of prayers and I am glad to see you here at CAF.

Mary has given us the miraculous medal to help us.

“Have a medal struck… All who wear it will receive great graces; they should
wear it around the neck. Graces will abound for persons who wear it with
confidence.” From the mother of Jesus spoken to sister Catherine Laboure 1830.

Her wish is for you to have this. Buy a medal and chain and have it blessed.
Having it blessed means the church’s prayers stand by this. Wear it always and with
trust that she will protect you because of her promise.

Usually these can be found at any christian gift store.
For more info, see internet:
legionofmary.org/miracmedal.html

you may also google “miraculous medal” for more info.
 
Many demonic spiritual assaults can assail us if we are away from the Church and from regular prayer and worship.

In the Church ive heard that “without temptations,nobody would be saved”

Some people live and drift further from the Church and God and may then pass away without having come close to God and turning toward the Church and Sacraments.

Take it as a wake up call to return to faith in Christ and seek out the Church and living a Sacramental prayer life.

God will banish spiritual enemies away from you and protect you.

Put on the breastplate of God.
 
(1) Get a crucifix for your room – to hang on the wall or sit on a shelf. It will help you to know Christ’s presence.
(2) Pray. If you don’t know what to pray, then pray the Lord’s Prayer repeatedly until you are calmed. Then spontaneous prayer will likely come easier. Remember that God’s Holy Spirit helps us to pray. Always pray.
(3) Then make an appointment with a priest. Perhaps the Holy Spirit is prompting you in a special ways to return to our Lord. No doubt the devil is trying to confuse you to pull you away from God. Don’t travel your spiritual journey alone … let a priest help you to discern the spirits, and to help you to reconcile with Jesus and His Church.
 
I was given a blessed crucifix I have in our home between my mothers bedroom and mine from my grandmother…

I keep a blessed statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary beside my bed and a rosary near my bed…

The second evening the crucifix was in our home reality became distorted…the walls bent and a tunnel appeared to open up down the hall on the wall the crucifix is hanging…many shadowy spirits were flooding me in my direction…I had to sit on the ground in the fetal position…I thought I was going to die…however I have summed this event along with other experiences to be part of my spiritual awakening:)

I am 30 now and have been away from the church since my teens…I have lived with severe depression and anxiety…a very dark alone trapped existence for years until I was 25…14-25 were very dark and depressed years for myself…I spent as much time sleeping as I possibly could…when I would hit the bottom of depression…I would hear an over whelming voice in my head that would say “f@”$ GOD"…this was an influence that was in my mind however originated outside of it…it was as if a being was communicating to my mind…I would later hear the same voice tell me when I became scuicidal repeatedly, “Do It”…“Do It”…“Do it”

I believe I have also been guided by an outer force of good, to become a strong seeker of God…and fiercely loyal to him:)…I think of Archangel Michael a lot and notice blue dots (flashes of blue) in my surroundings…

To sum up the extent of my experiences over the years could take many posts…I’ll try my best to answer everyone who is so helpful with their caring questions

While being attacked I have had something whisper in my ear…the first was “I can’t tell you everything now”…as lately they are becoming more intense…as I resist and try to break free I can not hear the spoken words of the “visitor”…if I remain calm I can…should I resist and try to break free as I regularly do? Or should I remain calm to listen? It is very hard to discern whether these “attacks as I call them” are trually demonic or at times possibly an angel of light?

You are a “God seeker”, that is why you are being attacked. Have no fear! Give your heart to Jesus! He is your deliverer! Give your heart to Jesus because He loves you and wants the best for you. Call on Jesus! He will not let you down. You will receive His peace. Then you can resist the devil and he must flee! Seek consul from christian “spirit filled” priests, teachers, etc.

This struggle is a spiritual struggle. Read God’s word (the bible), let the Holy Spirit guide you, ask Him into your heart. Learn about the “Armour of God” and how to use it. If you resist the devil, he must flee! That is God’s word. Use it! Whenever your encounter evil, command them to leave in the name of Jesus. Do not listen to anything the devil says to you, He is the father of lies and he seeks to decieve you. Jesus has already defeated the devil. He has no power over you unless you give it to him. He lies to you, steals the word of God from you and makes you believe he has power. He has no power.

Call on Jesus whenever you are being attacked. That is resisting the devil. Jesus will save you. Pray the Our Father and the Hail Mary prayers and contemplate what those words mean. Always in all things praise God. Thank Him for your deliverance. You cannot lose with His promises to you.
 
I am so very thankful and grateful for everyone’s kind support and advice! :)…thank you all so very much:)

I was diagnosed with being having a form of bipolar disorder…Rapid cycling to be exact…along with anxiety disorders…

I was consumed with severe depression, anxiety, paranoia as well as becoming very hyper at times which would lead to myself making very poor decisions in life…I am very blessed to have a good family that was always there for myself…

I spent many years with a lost will and desire to live…it was very painful to live through and my getaway from life was to sleep many, many hours…

I am familiar with experiencing hearing voices, seeing things etc…which are a part of my mental illness…

However, what I am experiencing now are in a different realm as opposed to my mental/physical disorder…
