40 heads nearby

Post by Four Years »

the dream itself was somewhat blurry and full of inane details but at the end...or right before i woke up, i heard someone talking to me about how i know if a dream is 'evil' or 'from the devil'.


the person said 'they are 40 heads nearby followed by evil laughter.'


"heads" here implied TOP/LEADERS...of hell? satan's dominion?


after this person said this, i actually felt my body jerk as if something or someone was manipulating it in a way.


then i felt a presence emerge in my room and i heard an evil laughter.


while this was happening, i tried to cry 'Jesus, Jesus' but i couldn't.


finally, i tried with everything and jerked myself awake.


the fear of it quickly subsided and there was nobody in my room.


it was unsettling for sure, but i can't tell what was going on here.


i FELT this, i was conscious. i really thought something was in my room and had me at its disposal.



another strong indication that i should abstain from pornography? if this dream means anything, i'd go with that.

Yes it was real. Don't get too freaked out. Now your starting to learn about the spiritual realm and to learn the need for spiritual warfare against the enemy. 40 is the number of testing, I feel your being allowed to be tested to see if your up to the challenge. Good job trying to get the name of Jesus out, this will come in time.

in Christ,

40 is the number of testing and of trials (aka Noah 40 days/nights, Jesus being tempted 40 days in the wilderness). So to me your being tested by the enemy to see if you will fight back spiritually against them. Keep pressing into Jesus and trying to fight them as you come across the enemy. They won't give in easily, but if you have repented from the sin and have accepted forgiveness through the blood of Jesus then they have no leagal ground to harass you anymore and when you command them to leave they must go, keep fighting.

in Christ,
Bella

Hi FourYears, This question makes me think that your thinking's not straight in relation to sin and God.

God will let you sin to your heart's content - but it'll kill ya. Simple as that. He's done everything He's going to do in relation to mankind and sin. It's up to you to now to believe it and live it.

So, does God want you to go 40 days without giving in... I'm assuming you're referring to porn? Well, I suspect He'd rather you didn't do it at all. Because it'll kill you. It'll affect how you think of yourself, how you think of others, it'll affect how you relate to God, you'll struggle with intimacy, you'll have images bombarding your brain while you're trying to work, sleep, relax, it'll destroy your heart ... Need I go on.

Maybe if you start caring about yourself, you won't struggle so much with all the externals like porn, drugs, relationships ... meditate on who God says you are IN CHRIST. Meditate on what it means to be a new creation. The righteousness of God in Christ.

Satan and demons - and all that - are defeated. When you know who you are and Whose you are, those things will have much less (or no) impact on you - will have NO power over you.

Whatever is good, noble, excellent, worthy - meditate on these things. And the God of all peace will guard your heart and mind.

Hello 4Years , I agrre with Bella, and I wanted to add this. I have had experiences in which either I felt an evil presence, the devil whispering in my ear, being dragged off the bed, and being choked. When I had these experiences, I knew something was amissed but did fully understand why it happened. Several years ago, I did research on this and ran across others that had similiar experiences. It was something this one lady stated, that spoke to my Spirit. She stated, one evening she was being choked and so forceful, that she could not speak. She stated that she called on Jesus via her mind. After she was saved from this spiritual attack, she stated that Jesus told her to be careful on what she brings to bed.
I said all of that to say this, by allowing porn to stay in your life, you are basically given these unclean spirits permission to attack you. By keeping this door open, they will continously come in until you ask the Lord to shut the door. We all have struggles and fall short, but if we are making fruitful attempts to get rid of bondage, the Lord will meet us on our level. However, when we make the fatal error of not getting down to the root cause vs just taking care of the symptoms, we are in big trouble. Let me put it in a different way for you, you may make those spirits leave; however, they will leave for a time and come back with several other spirits to continue their attack. So you may can hold them off a for awhile (by not viewing porn for a time);however, because you are not fervently seeking Him, in delivering you from porn, you are allowing yourself to be attacked.

Hi 4Years....


I think that the Lord is asking you a question. Do you have the wisdom, the ability to discern who sends your dreams to you? Does Satan have more power than God? Who do you fear more? God or Satan?

You are becoming aware of this consciously. There is something in your life that you realize is taking control.....the pornography. So there is work for you to do. You have to make the time to spend as much time alone with God by studying the Word of God. Let Him lead you and guide you into the reasons why you like porn.

You have the power to overcome this desire by studying and drawing closer to the Lord. As you stated in your dream you jerked yourself awake and the fear of it quickly subsided. There was nobody in the room..................your in the room.



There is no magic wand that fixes everything that we don't like about our shelfs. Who is to say that God did not allow this bad thing into your life just so that you would draw closer to Him? Think about this ......if NOTHING bad ever came into our lives..........would we even give God a thought? I truly don't think I would. There would be no need.........I have had a lot of bad things in my life and today I am truly praising God for each and everyone one of these bad things. They pulled me in and caused me to draw closer to God.


Maybe this is what He is saying to you. I pray that this will help you in your journey to draw closer to the Lord.
