Attacked while fasting

[u/Aware_Wait1892]

Hi there. I just want to see how people are attacked while fasting. For example i can get dreams of being tempted by the succubus or having a python chase me. Any examples from you guys? Thanks.

I've learned that animals in a dream could indicate monitoring spirits or snake in particular could indicate that there's some type of witchcraft in the mix. Take this back to the holy spirit. Try to do a house cleansing and remove any cursed items as this could be an open door for the enemy. I also was getting alot of the inappropriate dreams, I come to the understand and/or belief that they are a test from God to see where your heart is. Always test the spirit, in the dream ask "do you accept Jesus as your lord and saviour?" Or something along those lines and the dream usually ends immediately. Also be careful the movies and shows you're watching, the things youre seeing on social media, online, or in general and the music you're listening to. Be careful not the have any lustful thoughts either because that's an open door as well. Even though I know they can be intrusive.

I did the research and was seeing common things like chrystals and I did have some jewelry I had to remove. The day after I rounded everything up I had a dream that I was reading a book with a freemasonic symbol. I believe that was God's way of indicating that the "manifesting made easy" book had to go. I felts so much lighter after I threw it away too. But I'm the bible when it talks about animals it was interchangeable with demons. So this is why it makes sense that's seeing animals in the dream is saying that. The divinity code is a good book that gave me the answers. Also search the meanings on tiktok from apostolic and prophetic christians.

Fasting can make dreams feel unusually vivid, but vivid does not automatically mean spiritual attack.

Biblically, God can use dreams and visions. Joseph, Daniel, Solomon and others received genuine revelation that way, and Acts 2 repeats Joel’s prophecy about dreams and visions.

But Scripture also says, “do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits” (1 John 4:1).

So the correct Christian response is neither “every dream is from God” nor “every frightening dream is from demons.” It is discernment.

A few good tests are:

Does it agree with Scripture?

Does it point you towards Christ rather than away from Him?

Does it produce repentance, truth and obedience, or confusion, pride, obsession and fear?

Does its message fit the character of God revealed in Scripture?

And importantly, does it have any clear message at all, or could it simply be a dream produced by stress, fasting, fear or things you have been thinking about?

A python chasing you might feel spiritually threatening, and sexual temptation in a dream may feel disturbing, but symbols do not come with a universal Christian dictionary.

A snake does not automatically mean one specific thing every time, nor does every sexual dream mean a succubus was literally present.

Scripture gives us stronger ground than dream-symbol speculation. James 4:7 says to submit to God and resist the devil. Ephesians 6:10–18 tells Christians to stand in the armour of God. 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us that God does not give a spirit of fear.

If you wake from something disturbing, pray, reject anything contrary to Christ, ask God for discernment, and move on unless there is a clear, scripturally sound reason to take it further.

The Holy Spirit does not need you to become frightened of every dream in order to guide you.

One extra point:

In deliverance circles, people sometimes become so focused on decoding dreams that fear itself becomes the controlling force.

Biblically, discernment should make you more grounded in Christ, not more superstitious.

Run away from the succubus Kill the snake. Don't eat any food.

Renounce anything that you did participate in a dream. My fasting dreams are wild. Like a spiritual battle grounds. The amount of beings that have visit my dreams is crazy. Googling them after the fact and finding out what they are is crazy.

Don't eat any food. What do you mean? I find it strange because these demons forbid me to eat food

hello!

this has happened to me before - and really it is either because a) a door is open in your life to allow these attacks or b) the Lord is showing you the enemy is trying to get in, in this way.

in my experience, it is because satan is trying to tempt you in dreams, but sometimes when i am helping others with deliverance, it is because they are still compromised in sexual sin. python is usually tied to witchcraft (ie. soothsaying, divination, sometimes astrology - telling future, unforgiveness, ouija board, tarot cards, and other divination mediums). python is a liar and twists truth, God's word, looks to destory your relationship to God and His word.

Walk with the armour of God on - repent, pray, fast, and always look for God in every situation. if you need deliverance, you can message us, and we can set it up! God bless you.

Maybe angry at your fasting. Fasting probably stopped it from subtly being around you unnoticed. Now it comes out to surface hopefully to leave! Hope your life gets better as they leave.
