God leads us and directs us to where He wants us and to what He wants us to learn! <br /><br />1st of all, our dreams can be very daunting yet can signal distress, oppression, spiritual needs and facing our fears. Before I answer your question, a very sound pastor that I was under for some time, taught me a very valuable lesson in spiritual warfare in dreams and how to combat dark dreams. The first rule he taught was to pray a hedge of protection around your thoughts, mind and head before going to sleep. To pray for His protection from any negative, dark, evil or fearful attacks or thoughts while you are sleeping. I began doing this and it has helped me tremendously. <br /><br />Now, it is possible that you are being under attack while sleeping because we are at our most vulnerable when we are asleep. Remember that God gave us sleep for REST and rejuvenation, not for us to battle through the night! I suggest for you to go through your place of dwelling and make sure you do not have any occult items, movies, books etc., in your home that is "welcoming" to the spiritual evils. Often times, dreaming of being attacked is symbolic of how you feel in your waking life or that people are "attacking" you verbally, mentally and/or physically. Continue to pray against the familiar spirits and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to take these from your sleep. Sometimes, our overcoming takes longer than we would like it to but God has already been before you!! He has you close at His hand so pray! Battle! Don't grow weary!!!<br /><br />Keeping you in prayer! God Bless you in His Perfect Will!<br /><br />Soldier of GodSoldier of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867860214053190585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120739883882855194.post-4665924136185965852017-11-25T23:25:47.949-05:002017-11-25T23:25:47.949-05:00Thank you for this post.

Yes, "familiar spirits" are real and they are demonic! I'm thankful for your posting so that others who may visit and read the post can see that it's just not on "TV" but it IS real! The consequences of dabbling or diving full on into the dark spiritual world is also very real and can be a lifelong problem. This stuff is scary stuff indeed, but as children of God we KNOW God is GREATER and He has OVERCOME! I'm so sorry for the problems that have been a result of the "silly fun" that you mom brought into the home but you have clearly learned from it, and are now able to share it as a testimony to others! I'm in agreement with you that it's wise to never listen to anything that is NOT of the Lord and to stay in God's inerrant Word for our comfort and direction! God Bless You!

I am so sorry for the great loss you have experienced and the only words that would seem appropriate for such a loss is that God will comfort you, hold you, love you and give you peace! <br /><br />I'm thankful God led you to this posting if it allowed you to see a little clearer! Also, I pray that you now realize God doesn't turn HIS face against His born-again children, but rather, WE turn our faces against Him. It's usually during the times as you've described when many will ask those questions and seek out the comfort in the wrong arenas. Remember, there are some things we will never understand nor find the answers to until we are on the other side of Heaven. Loss is always difficult to understand but know that He is waiting for you to turn back to Him and RUN to His OPEN arms! The doors that have been opened through your desperation, I pray you have totally renounced, bound up and completely cleansed yourself of and God will seal that door shut for you! Continue to fight this battle because Satan will try to lure you back in, but remember who you belong to and remember Satan is out to seek and destroy. Jesus Christ is All powerful and ALL Mighty! Call upon His name out loud and Satan will flee! You said God is all you really have in this world and He is all you need! However, I would encourage you to find a loving church and find fellowship with someone who can and will come alongside you in your times of need! God will lead you to someone when the time is right. I pray and lift you up that you will find peace through your pain! May God Bless you in His Perfect Will!Soldier of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867860214053190585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120739883882855194.post-90967615575010794822017-02-10T16:02:33.718-05:002017-02-10T16:02:33.718-05:00I am a born again Christian.

When I was a little girl, my mom, who loved God---read her bible---brought home a new "game". It was a Ouija board. She thought, at the time, (early 1970's) that this was just silly "fun". Oh boy! Demon spirits entered our home. Lots of demonic activity. Heavy breathing in rooms where no one was there. Doors opening on their own. My mom seeing "things". My parents started arguing and later ended up divorcing. The "silly" demonic Ouija board brought in those demon spirits and ruined my family as well as brought my mom into a life long problem with depression. So, I know from experience to never listen to these mediums or Ouija boards or anything that is NOT from God. Thank you for your blog. I was flipping thru the tv channels and saw the Long Island Medium and I listened to her for about 3 minutes---then my spirit knew to change the channel. Very scary stuff indeed. I stay in God's word for my comfort. Jesus is my Rock.

I was heavily involved in astrology.Yes, I knew it was wrong because I was seeking guidance from the movement of the stars instead of The Most High God. I have had such tremendous and hurtful loss in my life and I just could not understand why God would let me hurt so much. So, that is where I turned for comfort,astrology.I figured if God really cared about me, he would help me thru the pain of losing my son, and mother which effected me so deeply. I felt he took everything away that I loved so much.So, now, Im going to turn back to him because after reading Levitticus 20,it hurt to think that God would turn his face against me, because he is all I really have in this world.I have renounced all aspects and forms of astrology, I pray God keeps me away from it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145092927215153056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120739883882855194.post-91366833729401103792015-08-01T15:44:50.834-04:002015-08-01T15:44:50.834-04:00Hi "Anonymous!

I will lift her up in prayer as many others will also do the same as they read this and come upon the article! Let's rejoice and praise God that your brother accepted Christ before his passing and continue to point your mother to the Cross. Yes, it may be difficult but the Gnostic/New Age belief system is such that its grip is firm when the Gospel is being presented so we'll all be in agreement in the precious name of Jesus Christ!

Because of her belief in the Gnostic/ New age movement, it has been very difficult to explain the gospel to her. She really believes in Sylvia Browne and Teresa Caputo. She's read tarot cards most of her life. I'm a Christian who has dealt with demons harassing me since I was a child.<br />My mother doesn't know about this, but when I was 7 years old, a "hell's angel" biker boyfriend she was dating put a demon in me. He said it was to watch me and make sure I behaved. I don't know what his true intentions were. It wasn't until a few years ago that I became aware of it and was delivered, but until that point, I felt like a magnet to demons. My reason for pointing this stuff out is to show that I'm not a stranger to this stuff. I can see that Teresa is in error, but how do I explain to my mother? My brother died 5 years ago, and she believes Teresa can show her that my brother is at rest. Luckily, my brother excepted Christ a year before he died, so I don't worry. My mother is a good lady. She's the kind of person where if good works would merit salvation, she would definitely be saved. Everyone that knows her agrees. Anyone please pray for her if you would. According to God's will, I agree now with anyone's prayers in Jesus' mighty name! Her name is Nancy.

I thought it would make me feel better however it made me feel worse. A lot worse. Instead of closure or peace I felt torn apart inside and more distraught than before. Eventually I got better and moved past the experience but then things in my household started to change. My child started hearing noises and eventually voices that terrified her. At first I thought it was just nightmares but after a while it progressed to her being tormented every day. I finally excepted it for what it was... Demons. She was saying things that she couldn't have known since we never really went to church. I decided that we needed Jesus Christ in our lives so we all went to church. I explained everything to the pastor and we prayed hard. I'm happy to say that my entire household are now born again Christians and attend church regularly and pray every day. We have all developed a relationship with God and were baptized. All that was tormenting my child are gone now and she's a happy little girl again and living for God. When my husband and I say down and tried to remember when her torment began we realized that is was soon after I saw the medium. I fully believe that demons followed me home and tried to destroy my family. Never again will that happen because we are now protected by God.

You are wise to hold them still until God directs you otherwise because ONLY God knows what's in your heart, your mind and what you're struggling with. Satan has NO authority to read your mind or know your heart! Only what you speak and what he knows from our past. Satan is the great deceiver so please cover yourself in a hedge of protection, read Ephesians about the full Armor of God! May God keep you and comfort you and bless you in your journey!

Most of them are from years ago, though some are recent. I'm still working out which ones are real, and which ones are from evil sources (since around the time most of these happened, I would have been easily influenced by either side.) <br /><br />But some I see now, reading your post, are false. Thank you for posting it, and thanks to God for allowing it to be set in motion. I pray now that God will guide me to the truth of the matter of the other ones as well - whether they are truly real visions and experiences, or if they were more lies. I'm being intentionally vague. I've already told a few about some of these over the years, but I don't want to even allude to what was in them any more until God says otherwise.

There are way too many people, including Christians, that have opened the tiniest of doors to mediums, familiar spirits and the likes and if one isn't truly understanding of these dangers, they will become easy prey for Satan and his minions. I find no entertainment of any kind in opening my spirit up to follow such a show because it's much the same as opening the door. She needs to understand that what she is "communicating" with are demons and close any door that has been opened, and I'm sure there are many more that we don't know about since the show can only be selective in what it wants to air.

As far as Theresa goes maybe the best hope is to lift her up (stand in the gap for he) ask that God would redeem all this by removing the scales from her eyes so she can see the truth.

All the 'spirits' she communicates with are always in a peaceful place and happy. none of them is in a bad place or suffering.<br />Christ used the story of the rich man and lazarus to explain a little about life after death. It is impossible the dead to communicate with the living. it is only familiar spirits that can do that like in the case of Saul consulting the 'spirit' of prophet Samuel.<br />The devil is a liar and he comes to steal first the truth from you, then kills your spirit and then destroys your soul eventually.<br />Its also very important not to give any door however small to these mediums because they will break through that tiny opening.<br />Thanks for this blog.

Yes she does say that and sadly, that isn't the case for all of them and THAT saddens me! I totally agree how it is heartbreaking for a loved one grieving their loss to be manipulated by familiar spirits which is why we need to pray against them, stand in the gap for those who are weak and are suffering! Teresa is part of the "show" and what we see on the tv is much milder than "who they really ARE" in person.

I have watched Long Island Medium many times and agree that Theresa has a familiar spirit that is telling her what to say to those people who come and see her. If you`ve noticed, none of those who have departed are in a bad place she always says and I quote "please know that they are at peace". I feel sad to see people who are suffering from the loss of their loved one being manipulated.

The first thing I ...Anonymous, very good questions! The first thing I sense about her is that I'm certain others have spoken a warning to her in one form or another during her long years of her "profession." I remember her telling the story of those spirits "waiting" for her and they are NOT godly spirits! They are familiar spirits, demons! At this point in her life, I would tend to believe she is not being a pawn any longer, maybe as a child who knew no better, but as an adult, and with a family "history" of this, she has made the CHOICE to continue in this spiritual realm. DANGEROUS as we know it is, it's a choice at this point in her life and now that it's bringing her "fame and fortune" well, doubtful she is going to heed the warnings. HOWEVER, we still need to continue to pray for her and her family members that she will be able to SEE the truth and accept the truth! As for reaching out to her, I'm sure you can do so but before you entertain that idea, please PRAY diligently to see if that's what the Lord wants you to do! Sometimes we want to do things because it's our nature to spread the truth of the gospel to others, but always pray first because it may not be what you should do! If you pray about this and you receive an answer to go ahead, the Lord will also lead you to the way in which to make that contact. God be with you and continue to pray and seek His counsel!Soldier of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867860214053190585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120739883882855194.post-34028689099721295932013-09-04T15:17:07.409-04:002013-09-04T15:17:07.409-04:00Has anyone tried to contact her with this warning?...Has anyone tried to contact her with this warning?

If she was targeted by the enemy as a child and has been deceived for so many years, could she be a totally innocent pawn in Satan's game? <br />I think of Paul and Silas in Acts 16:16-19:--16 "Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. 17 She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.” 18 She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her. 19 When her owners realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities."<br />I will continue to pray for her and her family, but I am struggling with the question of whether to contact her or not with this warning. Does anyone think that is a good idea? Would it fall on deaf and deceived ears? Is it possible to contact her directly?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120739883882855194.post-50487024274505064062013-05-15T17:13:45.880-04:002013-05-15T17:13:45.880-04:00Remember that Satan was the most beautiful angel b...Remember that Satan was the most beautiful angel before being cast out of heaven for rebellion against God so YES, evil often times wears a pretty face.

That scares me too because once someone gives permission for a demon to enter into a home, or into ones life, they give permission to the entity to attach to the family members as well.

Sometimes, these "spiritists or mediums" are generational and so are the curses that come along with it!
