I've been afflicted with sleep paralysis since I was a kid. As a kid, it was never anything bad, I'd panic as I tried to wake myself and breath.
In my mid twenties it went dark. I had an episode in the middle of the night with a demon. I woke up attempting to throw a punch at this entity that was pure evil. I wanted them out of my house. Over the years I had a few other creepy/dark encounters. They were rare and only happened maybe once a year.
That was the case for years, until this winter. I had three nights in a row of very evil episodes with these dark entities. I was at my wits end. I prayed. I prayed ephesians 6:10-18. Asked the lord to help me fight and defeat them.
It stopped. That very night I had the best night's sleep that I've had in a long time.
The lord will protect you, just ask.
I one time had some demon manifest during a panic attack while I was biking alone in the wood at camp and this was late at night. I was video editing for them and had just finished a long session and it was around the time I heard some scary stories. I didn’t believe in deliverance/manifestations at the time but I couldn’t deny it when I began to manifest. Right during that manifestation, which was just me swearing like a sailor and proclaiming awful things over my life, I begun to speak God’s truth with authority. I spoke so loud and my voice didn’t sound like my voice. I didn’t know what to think during that moment and why my voice was so loud but I was very comforted by it that I didn’t want it to stop. I was saying things to myself in this loud voice as if I was God speaking to me, which I now believe God used my voice and spoke through it to cast the demon out and encourage me. What I said was “I love you and will never forsake you and you are mine. I knew you before you were in your mothers womb. Satan, you have no hold of him, he is mine.” Then Satan kept wanting to stay and tried to interrupt, but God wouldn’t let that voice speak but there may have been a cry or scream at the end. Each voice was distinct and had very different qualities. Loud and majestic with many over and under tones vs sniveling and groveling.
All I could think of after the event was what did I just encounter and why did I speak as if God was talking? That seemed blasphemous but I wasn’t sure. I did feel better and was delivered from sin that I was struggling with so I really do think I was delivered from a demon.
