So something I've learned is that there is a subconscious problem if one is constantly in fight or flight mode and cortisol high. Your brain alarms you when something is wrong, but your nervous system needs to realize to let go when your not in survival mode. This effects every aspect of your body. You have to go back to safe mode. When your not stress you tap into your creative mind and release healthy chemicals in the body. The subconscious brain has no memories. One has to emotionally regulate and if you have been in an environment where that is not accepted it contributes to the problems. When it is rejected we xmcan fall prey into accepting false beliefs and also false beliefs about ourselves if we aren't careful. I think this goes back to spiritual warfare and self talk and renewing our minds. We have ti reset our system by repetition everyday. The enemy lies to us and attacks us. I don't mean for my topic post on this forum to be long winded. I'm just seeking help from believers from the attacks I've had and even nerve surgery failure. If a car breaks down and you don't know how to fix it you havevto get help and from honest people. I have to imagine it getting better and how that would feel. The lies say not to. I can't go through this alone. I need hope. Thank you for reading. I know the world doesn't revolve around me. I just need Christian friends

I just thought about deliverance ministry. Does anyone know if one I can get involved in? Why do we go to church to just check it off our box list. Aren't we supposed to be ministering to each other. The world says there is no God, there are no demons. We all are dealing with stuff daily we aren't aware of. Thank u for all of the messages I am really meditating on them. Trying to listen to good worship music. One thing I remember is my grandpa. He had diabetes and struggled with depression. I know medication can help chemicals in our brains. He also hallucinationed alot. He was on 17 pills a day that doctors put him on. He lost 100 lbs and got off his diabetes medication which added years to his life, but I always known him to be depressed to the point he never smiled and always hung his head low. I remember him telling me about an experience he had so I felt I could relate, but I hated how he never smiled or laughed and felt bad for him. He was a Christian. Maybe it has something to do with it. I don't know. I just know it's a battle we all are facing. I'm exhausted. I know that I did not have this issue because of a lack of sleep. I have this issue therefore I have a lack of sleep. I slept like a baby and was well rested then last night I don't know what happened I just could not sleep. I didn't even get 10 min. I know that is not good. Sleep is important for mental health. anywho just trying to figure things out and be more aware of things. I never listened to the band or song incubus. I didn't even know what it meant. So the fact I heard unchristians always talking about it around me makes me wonder what the world happened. So I'm trying to find healing and some sort of deliverance ministry. There should be one for every church. If anyone knows of any you tube or anything that is biblically sound please let me know. My nervous system also needs to heal. A lot of my problems are nuerological. This is kind of a mystery to doctors.
How about a Jesus ministry? :gd

The Bible says to meet with one another, especially because for strengthening, encouraging, and edifying one another in the end times.

I'm a big believer in spiritual milk first. Focusing on miracles and supernatural things shouldn't be the primary focus. The primary focus is the revelation of Jesus Christ and sharing the gospel, and focusing on living a pure life and building up others.

God is the key holder.

Whatever he does spiritually, is within His own will. We just have to follow Him the "normal" way. That's first and foremost.

If you get the priorities switched around, it can cause problems.

I decided to take some psychological meds. To help. They want me to stay in a building ward? To make sure I don't have any negative side effects. Thar way if something happens there is assistance. Sounds like a great idea. Not so much. I was sleeping on the floor in a cold room. I just got switched into a room with a bed. Might night tech is transfgeder man. Who goes by she. I share a bathroom and shower with two strange men. People get aggressive and cuss and there are poor feeble women workers. No male security guards. Every two seconds something crazy is happening and I gotta get sleep. I could just use a miracle. That my meds don't have bad side effects abd that I keep my food down and stay out of harms way. I don't think it's proper for the men to share my shower and bathroom and everything is chaotic and the trans man is new so he doesn't know what he is doing. I hope he stays out of my room. I just got my phone for now. So I decided to ask for prayers. I'm going to get ready for bed. I got to get up early. Thanks

Today is going well. People have been ice to me and I had the opportunity to give a girl a prayer holiness number and talk to her for a bit about how I will pray for her. She was considering suicide. Very sweet girl. Made me sad. If anyone wants the number I'll post it here.

Someone gave it to me. I don't know if I believe every single thing they do, but I thought it's a relief to pray with brothers and sisters in christ. Thanks ♡ maybe it cam help others too. Anyone out there that needs to hear a voice and have someone pray with you. It's worth a call.

I think I am leaving the psych soon. These places are a mess. They forgot to give me my meds and I the old creepy man with black teeth that is the one I share a shower/bathroom with just asked me if I want to hook up with him and that we should be good friends if not and see where things lead. Gag. This place is horrible and ants are on my bead spread

I will add you to my early morning prayer list, @Kayla McCanny. Blessings and peace to you and yours. :pray:⁣ If you need any help, just PM me, and I will help you through this.
Thank you. I left after the old guy I shared a shower with asked me to hook up with him. I felt so violated there. They also forgot my meds and lunch. I'm at home now. Thank goodness. One day at a time.

I experienced this once before when I was 18. I called upon the name of Jesus, only in my mind as I could not move at all, and just like that it was over. I was not yet a believer at that time. Since becoming a christian I never had the issue.

Prior to being 'saved' I had many episodes of sleep paralysis, sensations of bed floating prior to sleep & floating/flying in dreams.

The dream flying was great but no longer happens as with the bed 'float' prior to sleep.

The sleep paralysis though was very concerning, I would lay there knowing if I didn't fight it, it was over red rover.

At some point the sleep paralysis episodes ceased without much notice then later I stumbled across articles about sleep paralysis ceasing once 'saved'

Yes, yes, yes, medical science has it's thoughts regarding SP yet mine, NOW is that they're demonic in some way.

Anyhow, after reading the articles I realized that my SP's had stopped and they had actually stopped AFTER being saved.

I use to get this in high-school years ago and have been fine for many years. I've been out of college so it's been a long time. People say it's not demons that demons don't exist, but everyone says their experiences is demonic and some see demons. As Christians we know they exist. I believe the physical and spiritual world are both real. Last night I was trying to sleep and I kept feeling like someone kept touching me and kissing me all over. It wouldn't stop. It started rubbing me. It wasn't pleasant if u catch my drift. I got up and got some benadryl and tried to sleep, but couldn't. I don't have porn on my Facebook. I don't look at porn. I don't have unmodested pictures up. I don't know what is happening. I was awake the whole night rebuking it. I have been fine all day and just now I heard a voice say, your loosing it. Your crazy. I have never experienced this before. I'm fine and healthy and usually sleep just fine. I know not to take benadryl a lot because it can cause hallucinations. I am careful with that. I've been feeling nauseous and dizzy the last 5 min. So I decided to join this forum and get prayer. I know physical and spiritual world are real. I'm not the only one who had had similar experiences and I know it is because of the demonic. I've been rebuking it, but I know I need help on this one. Sleep is so important. It is Saud that if u don't sleep u can hallucinatioate. I've been sleeping fine this is the first day with no sleep. I really want to sleep tonight. Why was I doing OK until writing this I heard I'm losing it. I'm crazy. Maybe he doesn't want me to reach out and get prayer. I'm not crazy. I have never done drugs or drank alcohol or had sex. Prayers appreciated. I don't feel I can trust someone I know and tell them so I post here. I'm a Christian so I know it's not just hallucinations. They are common experiences that come from somewhere. I haven't had sleep paralysis in years and I know everyone says it's a demon experience so I know they are right. I know this is not sleep paralysis. Please keep praying. Thanks.
I have experienced sleep paralysis several times, I was in one of the study cubicles in the library at the local community college and I laid my head down in the cubicle and fell asleep, suddenly I woke up and I couldn't move. I cried out to God in my heart saying "Jesus, Jesus" and after about 30 seconds I snapped out of it and could move again and I woke up. I think scientists say it is something going on in your brain but there may be a spiritual thing behind it as well.

Sleep paralysis is a temporary inability to move or speak while falling asleep or waking up, often accompanied by vivid hallucinations and feelings of dread. Occurring when the brain wakes from REM sleep prematurely, it lasts seconds to minutes.

I have it sometimes, it is not funny, but a pure physical and harmless thing.
