Now that I am turning away from sin and all of the new age practices I used to engage in, I'm being attacked a lot. I was attacked even before I stopped watching those tarot readings. 2 nights ago, I was trying to go to sleep and a massive wave of anxiety came over me. This is how it usually starts.

I started hearing a distorted voice screaming "NOOOOOO!" This was a couple minutes after I prayed. I was trying to sleep and a bunch of images flashed through my mind. One of them was an upside down cross and I heard screaming. I can't explain why this happens. It brings me back to my childhood where I'd have night terrors.


What I explained above rarely happens. I feel intense fear out of nowhere. After this happened, I prayed 50 prayers I found online and I was left alone until I woke up at 3 am with the same fear. I had dreams. I had nightmares that were so intense, but I could only remember small parts of them. (This happens a lot, but not as much now.) I feel like I'm getting attacked through them. Before I stopped watching tarot readings, I was woken up at various parts of the night. So much I hardly got a restful sleep.

I stopped watching those readings and started talking to God often and I had peace for weeks! I can't even remember how long. 2 days ago is when I started getting bothered again. My faith kind of wavered because of that and I watched tarot again and of course got attacked again.

Just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else has gone through the same.

Welcome Des'

God is good--you are in good hands!

It is important to say it--to state your position to God, that you want to be under His care 100%, that you are committed, and that you want His help in navigating this new course as one in His hands. Tell Him--"I'm Yours--please help me." Then relax, He's got this. Focus on Him, read the Bible daily, make time, and look for Him to confirm His care for you. Tell Him, "I want to know You--make yourself known to me." And He will.

Be patient, God has allotted our whole lives to making the decision that you are now in the midst of. That's why commitment is important. Be sure, be determined, and don't look back, consider the matter finished. If it is finished in your mind--He will put His seal of finish on it. You can rest in that. All the best to you!

Have you thrown away all tarot cards and other occult items and new age books?

Have you been reading your Bible daily? Psalms is good when under attack.

Have you trusted in Jesus dying on the cross for your sins? Have you confessed Jesus as Lord?

Have you renounced all the works of darkness and been baptized?

IMHO, when involved in the occult, as one poster said, renounce all of it in Jesus’ name.
Moreover, find a church that is bible based and has a pastor that believes in ’scriptural‘ deliverance.
Further, when you get attacked again, start praising the Lord, through singing and declaration, until the attack stops.
And, get big time into reading the Word.
As you know by now, this isn’t a game.

Consider the following video. I hope you act on it.


And, again, find a Spirit-filled Bible believing church; it’s imperative.

Before you read the Bible? Ask God in helping you "understand" that which you are reading!
There may well come a time whilst reading? You may "sense" someone looking over your shoulder and SMILING!
That "distorted voice" screaming "NOOOOO!?
That's the Application of "Weed Killer" being applied to the weed, or weeds (called tares in the Bible) that were/are "choking" you!

Reading Gods word is important. I often say the lords prayer when I have negative thoughts and emotions. In some ways prayer and Gods word is like the cognitive therapy. CBT is designed to acknowledge expose the negative or anxious thinking and then gradually change thinking with positive and more balanced thinking.

I believe Gods word is the ultimate mind changing therapy. When Christ was tempted in the desert He quote Gods word to ward off satan.

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:4

"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart". Hebrews 4:12

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people".
Ephesians 6:10-18

Feasting on the GLORIOUS GOD INSPIRED words is good for the soul . Now raise those hands
and let all that requires a known substance as oxygen for to sustain life , PRAISE THE GLORIOUS LORD .

I've been attacked, enslaved, and pursued by astral projectors for months now. They keep coming. It is annoying.

The spiritual warfare section is fairly new. We need threads to help people deal with this thing. The astral projection attacks.

Why are astral projectors targeting you @ShineTheLight do you know? Do you live in the Cassadaga area?.
Who lived in fear of the other . DID JESUS live in fear of the demons or did they FEAR HIM.
Did paul live in fear of demons or did HE cast them out by the POWER OF HE who overcame all things , JESUS THE CHRIST .
Just a friendly reminder for us all
That GREATER IS HE that is within the sheep than he that is in the world .

Not many (ahem) "Christians" ever get to, or even are congnizant concerning these verses. (or worse) Are "willingly ignorant" that this "phenomena/event" is "like a judgement" that occurs when "GOD'S Holy Spirit" becomes "grieved" by one! You can "render" it into whatever "terminology or definition" that "fits" your vocabulary. But? Sounds to me? Like "THIS" is what is going on with you!
Matthew 5:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
(solution.....Keeping 1Peter-2:5 in mind)
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar*, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

*Spiritual Sacrifices That Jesus finds "acceptable" BEFORE Offering "it/them" to GOD the Father.

Ya see? Many (ahem) "christians" oft times "view/see/and teach" that this/these "adversary/ies" are of satan and his cronies.
And?.......SOMETIMES?...........They are!
Most times, however? Tis MORE "like" The Flaming sword of the Angel "GUARDING" the way to the "TREE OF LIFE!" Which can be accurately described, or defined as "GOD'S WRATH!"

Just trying to esplain to what it "seemed" to me concerning the "ordeals" he claims, or is encountering.
If he is, or is not? GOD knows! That's just what HE put on my spirit to say concerning this.
I gave him (hopefully) the reason/s why? And the "resolution/s!"
If he be so interested!

Thank you to all of those who prayed for me. I was delivered from what they were doing. I received the prayers on the 5th, June 5. They were at it again on the 6th. I will continue to need more prayers.

I've been in a time of war for 17 months now. Demonic enemies coming after me constantly. I have been chased/pursued or captured by the demonic kingdoms of the air/heavens, earth, and sea. I was given revelation and shown blessings from God in January of 2025. I was shown that representatives of God were taking me somewhere in the spirit realm, and the demons were coming to prevent from reaching whatever the place is. Since then, I have been attacked all over my body. I've been getting flooded with attacks. I'm constantly dealing with confusion of what is going on.

The astral projectors started to do their activities on me this time last year. The spring prior to this recent spring, spring of 2025. I don't know what it will take to stop all of this. But there are things that can be done against them. Some of them may quit and come out of what they are participating in. You have to pray for that. That there be those among them who come out it, come out of that life. There's potential for those among them who will come to Christ and the light of God. Then there are those who won't quit and continue with their wickedness. This is the one that will push you stand your ground. It might take more aggressive things to stop them.

I can't sleep during the night hours. They have hindered me from sleep during the night and got me to be awake until somewhere in the morning. I'm being put in a routine I don't want to be in. I want to be awake during the morning hours, where they get me to be asleep during the morning to afternoon. They make me awake when I want to sleep, and make me sleep when I want to be awake. They take my days off track, and the things I do in my days to be off track. I'm forced to do certain things later than I want to. The times I desire to be awake and active are during the hours from 8 AM and 3 PM. They have stolen that from me. I want to be sleeping by 10 PM, 11 PM, or midnight. They disrupt me during those times unto the hours after midnight. The human wicked agents and the demons. They incapacitate me or deprive me of daily activities when possible. Whenever I have gotten freed of this routine they keep putting me in, they get me back in it, again and again. I'm tired of the routine they are putting/forcing me in. I'm tired of them doing this to me. What I explained with all this is something that everyone who is dealing with astral attacks is going to experience.

I need prayer from them restricting me. The demons and their wicked human agents. To stop them from incapacitating and depriving me of daily activities. To stop them from taking my days off track, and the things I do in my days to be off track. I need prayer to stop being in this routine, to be freed from it, and them stop stealing my times and days from me. I would like prayers for this. Can I receive prayers on these things that I speak of to no longer be? Thanks to those who pray for me.

There's things I can explain about. More of what is going on with me. I would get into it. I'm dealing with the problem I speak of that has constantly been hindering me. I need this out of the way.

Humbly asking this. Have you ever thought that you think too much upon demons, etc, rather than thinking upon the Lord? The Lord is greater than any evil spirits.

Isaiah 28 (NEW KJV)
28 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim,
Whose glorious beauty is a fading flower
Which is at the head of the verdant valleys,
To those who are overcome with wine!
2
Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one,
Like a tempest of hail and a destroying storm,
Like a flood of mighty waters overflowing,
Who will bring them down to the earth with His hand.
3
The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim,
Will be trampled underfoot;
4
And the glorious beauty is a fading flower
Which is at the head of the verdant valley,
Like the first fruit before the summer,
Which an observer sees;
He eats it up while it is still in his hand.

5
In that day the Lord of hosts will be
For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty
To the remnant of His people,
6
For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

7
But they also have erred through wine,
And through intoxicating drink are out of the way;
The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink,
They are swallowed up by wine,
They are out of the way through intoxicating drink;
They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
8
For all tables are full of vomit and filth;
No place is clean.

9
“Whom will he teach knowledge?
And whom will he make to understand the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just drawn from the breasts?

10
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little.”


11
For with stammering lips and another tongue
He will speak to this people,
12
To whom He said, “This is the rest with which
You may cause the weary to rest,”
And, “This is the refreshing”;
Yet they would not hear.
13
But the word of the Lord was to them,
“Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little,”
That they might go and fall backward, and be broken
And snared and caught.

14
Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scornful men,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15
Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
It will not come to us,
For we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”

A Cornerstone in Zion

16 Therefore thus says the Lord God:

“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily.
17
Also I will make justice the measuring line,
And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place.
18
Your covenant with death will be annulled,
And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will be trampled down by it.

19
As often as it goes out it will take you;
For morning by morning it will pass over,
And by day and by night;
It will be a terror just to understand the report.”


20
For the bed is too short to stretch out on,
And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.

21
For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim,
He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon—
That He may do His work, His awesome work,
And bring to pass His act, His unusual act.

22
Now therefore, do not be mockers,
Lest your bonds be made strong;
For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts,
A destruction determined even upon the whole earth.
Listen to the Teaching of God

23
Give ear and hear my voice,
Listen and hear my speech.
24
Does the plowman keep plowing all day to sow?
Does he keep turning his soil and breaking the clods?
25
When he has leveled its surface,
Does he not sow the black cummin
And scatter the cummin,
Plant the wheat in rows,
The barley in the appointed place,
And the [e]spelt in its place?
26
For He instructs him in right judgment,
His God teaches him.

27
For the black cummin is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
Nor is a cartwheel rolled over the cummin;
But the black cummin is beaten out with a stick,
And the cummin with a rod.
28
Bread flour must be ground;
Therefore he does not thresh it forever,
Break it with his cartwheel,
Or crush it with his horsemen.
29
This also comes from the Lord of hosts,
Who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in [f]guidance.

And THEN?
Say to yourself?
"Self?" "Yeah ME!"
"WALK AWAY!"
1 Peter 2:5
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES, ACCEPTABLE to God by Jesus Christ.
You want OUT?
THIS is what MUST be done!
Selah!
aka "Ponder SINCERELY!"
Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
