CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

The past week, I've had a very tiring time, starting with a nightmare a week ago, shortly followed by what I think was an encounter with an evil spirit, and two unnerving phone calls later that week. I've been paranoid and scared since then, and I'm seeking God for comfort and guidance right now, but it's just hard. From what my friend and I understand, God allowed this to happen because of my un-reliance on Him for the past several months, and my dependence on my non-believing boyfriend for comfort and peace (where, trust me, I'm not getting much as of now). Things have been hard, as I've been obsessed with trying to find a way to help my boyfriend spiritually, and how I wish things could work out with him. I've come to "over care" about him, you could say, in the sense that I focus too much on him and place him up on the "throne of my heart" as my friend has put it. I'm trying really hard to refocus my attention on Jesus Christ as I go through this ordeal, and hope to accomplish this somehow, and still care for my boyfriend, if in a much better and purer way as God wants me to.

In short, please pray for me and against this demon oppression, because I do absolutely horrible with fear. Pray that the Lord gives me comfort, peace, and security in Him, and no other. Also, please pray for me that I can do what God wants me to do in Him, and that I come to rely on Him only, as I'm sure He's wanted me to do all this time.

I don't think reasons you think this is happening is correct but I will still pray for you to be strong in this time.

Thank you. I'm not too sure of anything myself, right now, but I'm trying to figure out what's wrong in terms of the big issues. At first I thought it was something else, like a more "obvious" sin, but my friend feels like after he prayed about it, it wasn't the one we were previously thinking of. So...oh well. I'm just trying to figure it out and ask for guidance.

God doesn't let bad stuff happen to "punish" people for sinning. You may be feeling guilt over something, though.
That being said, don't put so much focus on "I'm being spiritually attacked" but rather put your focus on God and building your relationship with Him.

I'll be praying.

Well, I thought that it might be more the type of sin where I'm doing something I know is wrong or questionable, so He'd basically be giving me a push saying "Don't do that." My friend's idea is that when I'm spiritually oppressed, I run to God for help and rely on Him, when normally, I guess I don't do that enough. So in such an event, God's causing me to remember "Hey, I'm the one you can always lean on and always trust, because I'm here for you. Don't forget that I am the one watching over you, and that no human can be relied on so much in this way."

Don't worry demons feed on worry. Just remember keep praying and god is always with you have faith. I will pray for you I can see how that could be scary i may wake up in the middle of the night screaming. Let the angel of God Bless you!

Thank you all very much for your prayers. It's really a comfort to know there are people who care enough to do that.
