please pray for me | kelvin | Wednesday, July 25, 2007 |
Question: I am in very deep trouble My name is Kelvin. I am 36 years old. I live in the Sinai desert. I have been attacked and finally been possessed by a very evil spirit, or demon, and I want to be close to Jesus and God again and be clear enough to do their will, like I was before. I was so different full of light and awareness, and helpfulness, working with children and animals, art music and pottery. So much of my self has been massacred and destroyed. I feel totally disconnected from God and freaky things are happening to my energy. I am getting visual hallucinations and horrible programs slipped into my mind when my mind is too bust to concentrate. I just dont know what to do. I need externl help. I have been praying and fighting for over a year, i just get weaker and weaker and knocked down again and again. Jesus guided and protected me for 15 years before this, which is one of the reasons I m under such strong attack now, I was close to Him before all this, very clear and connected, I made some stupid mistakes and broke my protection, this time of testing has been too hard. I have been overcome. I have very strong addictions in my body which are strengthened by the demons, and also give them more power, namely cigarrettes, food (when I should be fasting) and masturbation, which always starts in the night I dont want any of these things in my life, just to eat when God will guide me I am clear with Him. The devil is coming almost every night in my dreams often pulling me into sexual temptations and making me worship him, or they are pulling me into a lower dimensional dream s . In my dreams I have no control I cannot choose what Im doing, but I wake up with just blackness inside and not able to pray. Last night they pulled my whole soul into the darkness and I woke up full of fear and apathy and evil and false peace, a kind of narcotic uncaring silence which is getting stronger and stronger I feel so so helpless and so lost. I have no faith left to fight with. So I need desperately now to look for help. I have been trying to fight it alone but have run out of faith and power and now it is so deep I am completely unable to pray. I a losing the will to live. I have been on retreat on Mt Sinai for the last couple of weeks... I have had so many people trying to help but it never goes out for very long. can you help ?Do you know anyone who can hel?p I am thanking you so much. yours in desperation, Kelvin |

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM
Dear Kelvin: I am so sorry to hear about your afflictions. I am not sure how I can help since to do so would require talking with you. Skype is one way to talk over the Internet, but you would need to have broadband connection; telephone would probably be too expensive. I noticed that you are not Catholic. I am not sure if the local Catholic diocese can help or not. Is there any Protestant ministers in the area that deals with spiritual warfare issues? I would also recommend seeing a psychologist as even if there is a demonic presence there are often psychological issues as well. If you feel suicidal you need to contact someone, a family member, friend, local priest or minister, someone to help you through your feelings and crisis. DO NOT ISOLATE YOURSELF. If you have not already done so, I would recommend following the advice in our HELP section, linked below, especially the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance. Also, use prayers from our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog, linked below. I know this is not much, but unless we can connect in some way by voice, this advice is as about as much as I can do right now. I think it is critically important that you see a psychologist to be sure of any psychological issues that are contributing to your experience. I am concerned about suicidal thoughts. You need to not isolate yourself but surround yourself with people who can help and support you. Also, remember that God loves you and that He and your Guardian Angel is standing beside you. Whatever suffering you must endure, God is there to help you through it. Look to Him; keep your eyes on Jesus and not the storms in your life. I know it is difficult, but God will help you through this. God loves you. The trials you are suffering will make you stronger in the Lord. If there is a way for us to talk over the telephone or though the Internet Phone Skype, let me know. God bless, For information on how to receive help see our Help page. We suggest that before contacting us directly for help you try the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance. These self-help steps will often resolve the problem. Also our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog contains many prayers that may be helpful. If needed you can ask for a Personal Consultation.
