Protection against Evil spirits ?

MsTea1990

Just writing a post (+ i dont know if this is the right place to put this post) in relation to evil sprits and has anyone ever felt they were being haunted by maybe the sprit of a dead person they did not get on with or felt that the person was evil in life ?

I sometimes feel as if i'm being haunted or can feel the presense of someone i used to know, who i discovered did some terrible things before they died.
I am one of the few people who knows what they did + i think thats maybe the probelm they (the sprit) could possible have with me.

I have not spoken about the things that happened to me because of this person + i know they had other victims aswell.
I was thinking of going to councelling, but everytime I go to make the call I get a strong feeling to not go ahead. Its like the sprit doesnt want me to tell anyone about them.

One other person I knew who knew this person before they died (+ knew what they did) ended up dying suddenly on the day of the evil persons funeral. This of course was extremely upsetting + it also seemed very creepy as well.

The funeral of the evil person was in another country as well + on my way back from this country after the funeral my plane was in very bad turbelance + i really thought something was going to happen to me ...

I have since avoided going to the country the evil person was from even though I was always there (every few weeks ) before they died. The last time I got a plane there , on the same day I took the flight , on the same airline (but not my flight ) there was a emergency that was on the news and everything.

I didnt realise this either until weeks later when I was just about to ring a counceller and the story flashed up on my laptop screen ( weird or what)

i took this as a warning from the spirit.

I have been asked to go back since and i have avoided although i was always in this country before the death. i feel as if something will happen to me there...

Has anyone else felt that a evil spirit was haunting them ?

Does anyone know of any priests who do blessing / exercism againist evil spirits trying to harm you ? the spirit is not in me but i feel its following me and trying to harm me.

Please reply serious answers only. Im very worried about this. The only info i get online is that you should keep going to church and praying for protection againist the spirit, but i want to go further than that ...

Ok.. Before you go down the whole exorcism route you need to talk to a professional psychologist. I am not saying you are mad, but he/she can put it in perspective. And yes there are spirits - But there are also schizophrenics, you need a person to give independent perspective. If you are sane in their view then talk to a priest.

It seems like you are afraid and anxious - I don't know what you experienced at the hands of this person, I don't know anything about it really except that he seemed like a person who exerted power in life.... but clearly it has had an effect on you that is very real, and you have allowed the feelings to manifest itself as if it were physical and still has power on you- it doesn't - he/she doesn't - it's a memory only, with no power. The person was just a person - nothing more than you or I...and gone now, facing judgement.

Talk to somebody you trust. You don't need to assume the worst, but trauma will perhaps make you feel vulnerable...nobody has any power to decide your life, your fears and joys, except you.

Don't assume the worst. Talk to somebody you trust and then perhaps seek every help available - but don't self diagnose yourself that a spirit is after you..Start by talking to your GP, and don't worry, they have heard everything and are only to willing to help....

Prayer said for you! Mind yourself, and make use of this forum to talk if you need to..

Praying for you:

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him we humbly pray.
And do thou O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God
Cast into Hell, Satan and all the evil spirits,
Who wander now throughout the world
Seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Weylin

say this prayer with meaning..........

PRAYER TO
SAINT MICHAEL
THE ARCHANGEL St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen..

Hi!

Ok there is good news. The Church does not teach that the spirits of ''people'' roam the earth after they die. This is something created by people who claim to see the spirits of dead relatives. When we pass away, we are either going to heaven, purgatory or hell.

Nobody ever comes back in spirit form to haunt you.

Now... there is evil spirits in the world who disguise themselves to these people who claim to see ghosts and dont get me wrong, many do but they dont realise they are NOT seeing the ghost of their dead relative but a demon disguised as one.

All of what you experience people do so daily. Evil spirits are always trying to drag us away from God and even kill us and there are many avenues to which they try but there is so much in detail there that I would be all day explaining and I dont have all day.

Relax, you are fine and sounds like you are creating too much hype about it all.

Pray pray pray.

St. Padre Pio.

"On one occasion, while in conversation with some friars who were questioning him on the importance of his prayers for (Holy Souls), St.Padre Pio said, `More souls of the dead from Purgatory than of the living, climb this mountain to attend my Masses and seek my prayers." Other monks testified that they heard multitudes of voices talking with Padre Pio at night!

Perhaps having a Mass said for the souls of your dead friends may help!

This is good advice, and i would also make sure to talk to a professional psychologist as Alex has said.

After that, discuss it with a priest you can identify with.

The Rosary will also provide great comfort and assistance.

God Bless.

I understand that souls may be given permission by God to appear to the living on earth. There are instances of souls from purgatory appearing to relatives. Souls may carry warnings (from hell), consolations (from heaven) or seeking prayer or assistance (from purgatory). In any case, it is best to pray a daily Rosary and also Chaplet of Mercy, as well as regular Mass and Confession. A good priest will offer good advice too.

MrPudding

Quite possibly for the first time, I almost agree with Alex.

It sounds like you have had some pretty traumatic experiences. People react differently to trauma. You need to speak to a professional, probably your GP in the first instance.

This is more likely to be something medicine can fix rather than prayer. Get some help, there is no need to suffer as you are suffering in this day and age.

A lot of my childhood I remember being 'haunted'. My sister said it was ghosts... some good and some bad. I was the first to stop being 'haunted' and contacted by these things, my sisters told me... because I stopped believing that they were there... my 'denial' that they existed pushed them away.

So either they weren't there and my disbelief in them is what caused such things in my mind to dissapear, or evil spirits can simply be repelled from you not taking them seriously... either way, the solution is the same: Don't take them seriously and what you're feeling should go away... unless it's not just ghostly paranoia and you do in fact have deep mental problems that you need to seek help with... or the off chance that the devil himself wants your soul. Good luck.

Assuming you're of sound mind, it would be no harm to get your home blessed by a priest. And tell him why.

MsTea1990

thanks for the replys everyone, like i mentioned i was going to call a doctor to discuss but just as a picked up my phone to call , the story of the emergency on the same airline to the same place on the same day i flew popped up on my screen of my laptop.
i opened google and then news and that was the first story , yet it happened weeks ago + i was only made aware of the story at the moment - just as i was going to call a doctor.
I'm not mad or anything like that . i know how this story could sound mad. i think its just strange how i was made aware i had a close call weeks after i actully flew just as i was about to call a doctor.
but thanks for the reply anyway .

MsTea1990

oh and for the people that said they would pray for me and that have posted prayers - thanks that means alot x

gimmebroadband

I sincerly hope that things will improve, I would seriously think about getting a Mass offered so that their souls would rest in peace - could be a cry for help!

actually most answers have already covered what you need to do, medicle accesmant - makes sense, and then to a priest for guidance, the prayer to st.Michael is essential in these times.. there are evil spirits by the ton who wish us harm, and its ST.Michaels God given purpose to defend and protect the faithful.

Regarding evil possesion there's 2 types - actual full posession where the evil spirits take full control.. but theres also the lesser one known as evil harrasment by an evil spirit - they literally harrass a person just as yu seeem to be experiencing.

have had a handfull of incidents like this too.. and have always ended up saying st;michaels prayer to free myself from the experience and a lot of cold sweat!

anyway best of luck and hope it turns out well in the end

I hope this is not a silly question, but why to evil spirits only harass religious people?

pudding no its a fair question - they dont need t harrass non religeous, as for them non religeous are already on their way to hell as they wont accept the saviour etc.. so no need to harras/posses them at all.. job done as far as evil spirits are concerned.

Yes. I expect that is the answer. Makes perfect sense.

But can this be the spirit of a dead person you knew in life?
From what people have said already and from what I have read online, that seems to be when a random demon/spirit is harrassing you?

Baggio1

mstea1990... yes it could very well be, i cant say that for certain, but it could be the person's soul let free from purgatory seeking mass's/prayers or could be demonic soul of the person seeking to harrass someone through pure evil and bitterness.

homer911

As a Christian, I recognise the possibility of evil spirits, but when the conversation moves on to protection from evil spirits, all I can think of superstition, which is definitely not Christian. It seems to be one step removed from lucky charms.

I'm reminded of people putting "Padre Pio Protect Us" stickers on the windows of their cars, as if this will prevent them having an accident

The only protection we have is trusting in the Lord Jesus and living in fellowship with him

Baggio1

homer cant agree with you there...
God greated the Angels for a reson, maybe millions of reasons.... they assist us through our lives against the evil spirits, sure Our lord is our protection, but HE chooses how and in what way.... as in the story of Tobias in the old testemont, sure God could have done all that was done for tobias and family... but he chose to send the Archangel Raphael to do the job for him..... its the same with St.Michael,,, he is tasked with battling Satan across the world throughout history, right back to when he threw satan out of heaven... again God could have done that himself... but he let the Archangel Michael do it on his behalf.

and on a lighter note.. you cant actually prove those stickers DIDNT protect many people from accidents.. maybe they did,,, maybe they didnt but we'll never know till some of us reach heaven etc

I agree with homer here. This is more of a superstition problem than a religious problem. I know that the line of separation between religion and superstition isn't always clear but I think that it is in this case.

I think that the answer here may lie in Ouija boards and séances. It may also be an idea to discuss this in the Paranormal forum where the residents will have loads of advice.

I suspect the answer will probably lie with a visit to her GP and either medication or a possible referal to a mental health professional.

If I feel that there are evil spirits in my life I draw a circle around my bed in salt and fortify myself with green tea mixed with sage during the day. This helps to bring balance my mind and clears the air to help me feel the angels around me again.

incense and reflexology can help too.

I'm pretty sure reflexology is a heathen experience on a par with astrology. Maybe some one can enlighten me? Is it the devil's exercise?

I think reflexology is ok. It never gets criticised in the Watchtower magazine but astrology does come in for scrutiny.

The Scriptures exhort us to "test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:21-22). When put to the test, practices such as reflexology, which are rooted in anti-biblical beliefs, clearly fail. In fact, practicing reflexology can be seen as giving approval to the all-encompassing energy teachings of such religions as New Age and Hinduism, which are diametrically opposed to biblical Christianity.

That's why you should stick to salt circles and sage.

oh dear, I never thought of it that in that light. My reflexology practitioner likes to play extreme heavy metal music while doing reflexology on me. Is that contributing to my dilemma? Thank you Android 666 for your guidance on this.

MrP

+1. If there are evil spirits, you would wonder why they did not harass evil people like Hitler or murderers or terrorists ? Why would they harass a good person like the original poster ?

I think its some of the people who are alive in this world who are likely to do you more harm than anyone who is passed away. I am sure those who are passed away cannot harm anyone - or at least a law abiding, good-living person, in this world.
