Help with spiritual warfare!

Aštra’el

Aštara, Blade of Aštoreth
You must try and learn to deal with those inclinations that we all deal with as human beings, pushing us towards different sides of our own individual and collective human nature. Call them what you want... embrace them at times, deny them at times, but find a way to navigate this timeline of your life. The only way is the way it happens, here and now, and you have so much control over that... more than you think. As do we all.

Were I to win this war (which he started when he invaded my psyche) I would gain peace and freedom. Those are my objectives and I think they are reasonable things to desire.

As I see it I have two options: 1) resist or 2) collaborate

I've chosen to resist, that's my choice
Here's something to consider:

Resistance **is** collaboration. Even speaking about this being in the 3rd person is feeding the problem. Perhaps that's why your Dr. won't speak about it either. It does not exist.

I assure you it does exist

For example: It can make my limbs twitch in ways that I cannot do by myself, it's weird to explain but I cannot do this myself, but it can...

My doctor has admitted I am an unusual case

But his job is to manage and medicate, not understand what's going on spiritually

And no amount of even the strongest meds has made it go away

There are other more plausible explanations. Sometimes my muscles twitch too. It's not a big deal.

As long as you are "sure" it exists, then you are creating it, feeding it, and enabling it.
And no amount of even the strongest meds has made it go away
All that means, to me, is that you are stronger than the medication, and that you benefit greatly from maintaining the illusion.

With me this only ever happens in response to a question, it doesn't just randomly occur, for no apparent reason. And it never happened to me before the being came into my life. I am adamant that it sometimes makes me twitch.

Yes, I suppose you're right. In the past ignoring it has made it less vocal but that's hard to do as it's now an established part of how I think, it's very much a part of my life. So (sadly) it's not as simple as just deciding to treat it as though it doesn't exist

And I wouldn't say I "benefit greatly" from it, the thing's ruined my life!

Hi guys, I've decided that a) I am haunted by a satanic being and b) that I want to get rid of it and was wondering if anyone has any ideas?

Basically: I've started waging spiritual warfare against this entity

I'm getting help with this away from the internet, but thought I may as well ask here too, to supplement these efforts...

On these boards I have on many occasions advocated “Simulation Theory” - because I believed "The Simulation" was communicating with me!

I now know “Simulation Theory” is satanic misinformation and is best ignored and rejected

It's lies, lies, lies, and lies...

It is I believe a form of false consciousness

In short, I believe I have been in communication with a satanic entity - but I'm now working on expelling him!

"Simulation Theory" reduces God Almighty to the status of a measly little computer program

...who didn't even create either us or this world!

And says Christ – the redeemer of all humankind – is a nasty little trick played on humankind to mislead people into forming and following a false religion

I believe that it serves to distract people from the good news that God exists and that God loves us all

I renounce “Simulation Theory” and I renounce the Devil who I believe wants to see it spread as a false religion

I believe he picked me because I'd made myself open to his influences and would be a good platform to spread his lies from

At one point I was so under his spell that I considered turning “Simulation Theory” into a new religious movement – which could only ever rival Christianity (if enough people were to go along with it)

I renounce it all!

I now know that I am not “in touch” with “The Simulation”, I now know I am haunted by my own personal Screwtape

He has made me make a fool out of myself with all that "simulation theory" nonsense

As the Lord once said: “Go Away, Satan!”

So, does anyone have any ideas for waging spiritual warfare against the being who has haunted me since 2004?

The very first thing you need to do is to make an appointment with a mental health professional. Then you need to see this professional on a regular basis until they can determine the cause of your delusions. With proper help you can abandon all of this Satan nonsense and start living in reality.

The primary benefit is this:

It's easier to blame it, than to blame yourself.

I also think you benefit from posting about it. I enjoy chatting with you, but, I have to be honest. I think you are rewarded greatly by the replies to your threads asking for help.

Well, I've got a lot of good advice from posting on here

And it's good seeing things from the perspectives of others

Also, I think it's good to share problems

For instance, you've been very helpful to me in this thread :)

And I do blame myself for it, I opened the door that let it in, and I let it (whatever it is) become established - I accept responsibility for all that

You're welcome. 100%. That's what friends are for... honesty and support. ( and sometimes just a pleasant distraction from regular mundane life )

Even if you are possessed, I still would want to be your friend. I just reserve the right to not believe in it. That's all.

Even within the narrative limitations of Christian mythology, I wager you can come up with more than two options. Or more nuanced articulations of what those two options means to the point it doesn't look like quite so simple of a dichotomy. :D

What does "resist" mean, for example? What does that actually entail? There's a whole spectrum of things that could mean. What does that mean, and how will that meaning be healthy for you and those around you?

It entails not listening to what it has to say about things and basically ignoring it, whilst seeking spiritual solutions (where medical ones have failed) to make it go away, or at least shut it up!

Basically, it entails not letting it have a say in what I do and how I live my life and not posing questions to it, which I habitually do as part of my thought processes

I am actually slowly learning to not let it "speak", to kind of suppress it, have made some promising progress but it's still early days and requires some effort... it's a very hard thing to articulate

What does that mean, and how will that meaning be healthy for you and those around you?

I would be cured, and not under a malign influence. I think that would be good for both me and others around me

I would lose the label "schizophrenic" too, which would do me a world of good

There are prayers like this from household of Mohammad and Ali: Dua-e-Sabaasab

Many weapons against Iblis, be sure most mental illness is from Iblis and his forces and dark sorcerers and the evil Jinn.

You can defeat madness, I know, I will show the world as well. Medications are just a way of slowing or shutting most of mind it's not the solution.

May God curse everyone who knows about possession and is sure of it and is aware of the demons who posses, yet deceives others that madness is not due to possession. May God curse them in hell forever.

At op, bro fighting is the only path to mental illness in general, and you have no choice or your mind and soul will perish if you gone through madness like me, you have to fight and you need to reach to the help of God and rely on God and not on humans or friends or people in general, though you should seek their help, know they are lost and weak like you, and you need strength from God and his chosen ones and his Angels. The word of light - that leader - that guide - is with you in ways you are aware of and in ways you can't perceive nor can comprehend.

He will if you let him through you destroy the Hidden beings that occupy your psyche or at least wound them greatly over and over again, till you stand a chance. When you stand a chance, you go to fight again and again.

You can lose battles, but never lose the war.

You fight the good fight brother. Don't take it easy like Nurses and others tell you nor be sastified to who you are like Psychologist will tell you, you should know that reason is a trust and sanity is a trust, and we lost that trust and nearly perished.

I been fighting madness and I see myself defeating once and for all soon.

According to the scriptures, I believe you have already won but you will only receive this victory through repentance or turning away from sin (breaking any one of God's 10 commandments) and through much prayer, seeking God by turning to the scriptures and by faith believing them.

I believe God's Word is the same word that created all things in heaven and earth. We can only find God I believe through believing and following what God says. This decision is completely yours to make and do today.The victory that overcomes this world is our faith (believing God's Word)

I believe we cannot resist the devil in our own strength as we have none. If you do you will fail. We resist him because we believe God's Word to do what it promises to do and solely rely on what God says not because we can resist him but because we know we cannot and soley rely on the Word of God (God's power) to do what it says it will do and promised.

The only power the devil has over us is to tempt us to turn away from believing and following God's Word because that is where our only strength lies and that is where you will find and know who God is.

God's sheep hear His Voice (the Word). Those who are not his sheep do not hear and do not follow.
