What to do when you have spiritual disturbances and fear that you are possessed by bad spirits?

Question:

Please help me. I don’t know what’s happening to me. I sanctified the house and during the time that the priest was reading I felt ill. I couldn’t close one eye. I was jerking continuously. After this my life changed. I have seizures and I burp constantly, every five minutes, my look changes and other things. I addressed the same priest and he said that what I have inside me he is not able to cast out. I went to a different priest and he said that I will need many years in order to get better. Please help me. I have a baby and I’m worried about his life as well.

By reading your message I can’t tell what’s happening to you and I don’t understand what caused all this. Maybe this is about a bad spirit that is torturing you this way, but it may also be something physiological.

In the first place, I advise you  to do all effort to understand the message of gospel from the Holy Scripture, to believe with all your heart in Jesus Christ and repent. That means that you need to ask forgiveness for all your sins until now and then you will have to take a firm decision to become a true follower of Jesus Christ, so that you can follow with all sincerity all of His teachings, just like its written on the pages of New Testament.  The day that you will take this decision God will born you again and will give you His Holy Spirit. In the letter to Ephesians apostle Paul wrote:

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,  who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14 )

The day that you will take this decision and you will be born again, The Holy Spirit will seal you and will live within you. Because where the Holy Spirit comes and lives there cannot live any other bad spirits. Once you receive the Holy Spirit you will begin to experiment the fruit of it including peace just like its written in the letter to Galatians:

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. ( Galatians 5:22-24 )

As you turn to God you need to keep up the spiritual discipline that each Christian needs to have. First thing you need to do is start reading the Bible every day and study it. Then you have to learn to pray daily. Find a local church where true disciples of Jesus Christ go to serve Him and live according to His teachings and also the pastor should be a man that lives according to what he preaches. That’s why before you tell all the people about Jesus Christ and become His witness as He commended everyone that follow His teachings, I invite you to read the following articles that are relevant to your situation.

1. The salvation of demon possessed, lunatics and epileptics.

2. If Christ is not present in a person, will then other spirits come in? (Matthew 12 : 43-45)

3. Can a Christian be demon possessed?

4. How to overcome the fear of unclean spirits?

May God help you and if you have more questions  submit them using the form found on the website or you can send an email .
