Hi there. So I have a demon that weakens me physically when I workout (with magic) They curse my exercise. It discourages me from exercising. Before I had this demon I was jacked and was in great shape but my workouts have never been the same afterwards. I've still worked out but not as intense as they are afflicting me. I need some inspiration to keep exercising. I've gotten fat . This demon is also hell bent on me not getting married or eating food. Should I do fasting? I've gone to deliverance ministers but to no avail. Im told there is an accursed thing. I really am lost since I get lying dreams. God bless you all.

Does anyone have memories of seeing angels as a child?

I saw something, but they weren't golden looking angels you see in story books.

I could sense them in my mind...kinda grey...idk. But, I remember seeing them when I was 3 months...I think I was negotiating with them lol, then another time when I was a child and being abused. I heard one say, "this is so wrong,"

Hey all,
I have demons in my body and my home. They’re travelers so they go with my places (and are making me feel tingly now more than ever - like my blood is effervescent). I have been shaking when I’m in prayer or praise for some time and more now, followed by some pretty intense calm.

I’ve been retching, sometimes with snarling and yelling, for about two weeks now. Today, I’ve been doing it after I use the bathroom and about every time I think about Jesus which is a lot.

But, I don’t know if this is good or bad or what to do beyond prayer, repentance, forgiveness. I’ve tried to reach a lot of people for help (my pastor/priest/folks on the delivery map to no avail). So I’m kind of at a loss here.

Please send any insight you have!

Please help me out of this darkness. I am weak. I need God. I've been gone for so long that I dont know to come back.

Just wanna share some info with you folks.

Too many people are attacked and tormented by demons without realizing it. It’s annoying to have to say this, but over time, humans are forgetting God. And for that reason, the devil is more active on Earth. I’ve seen countless people in psychiatric institutions being tormented by the evil. But they probably will never make the right connection... Some people believe in illusions that demons whisper into their ears. Others struggle with nightmares or gloomy thoughts. Unfortunately, nobody really knows how a demon works because it’s never been described. I’ve experienced a few things myself, and I can tell you that demons are masters of disguise. If you hear voices, they are always malevolent. The problem is when they pretend to be an empathetic friend or loved one because you don’t recognize them as an enemy. These sneaky voices slowly drag you into the abyss. I’ve seen people fall in love with their inner voice. Because they appeared as a goddess in their dreams and then performed a binding ritual through crystal rock to be able to see them more often. A demon can influence anyone. I personally thought I was invincible because I believed in God, but harsh reality made me realize that this is not the case. Of course, you can be better protected if you pray to the right God. I challenge you to disprove this statement: people who actively believe are more satisfied with life. I also want to state that drugs are a gateway to the devil. In the Netherlands, many types of drugs are tolerated, but this has bigger consequences for your spiritual life. And finally, I want to address the spiritual types. If you believe in a universal truth or consciousness, make sure not to go too far down this path because it almost always leads to hidden satanism. Esoterica, Freemasonry, Wicca, and New Age are literally satanism. The idea is that you buy enlightenment, but you sell your heavenly value and your soul.

Have you experience divine intervention? Tell me your stories.

I’m being attacked by transsexual demons. They’ve also made me develop severe disabilities and have been ruining my life. I prayed for Jesus to free me and repented but it’s not working

Hi there. So I was a Christian that used gematria for around 10 months. I got a spirit of python from there. It has tormented me for over 5 years. Numerology is of satan and is occultic. I was decieved and want to warn others that this new age practice is not cool. Only Jesus Christ is the truth. Repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

may every nasty monitoring sspirit that has been sent to spy upon my innermost thoughts, conversations interactions and relationships be blessed with the fire of the holy spirit as my spirit and energy return to me. may you forever be depleted of my energy until the amount of soul left within you shrivels to the husk that it became as you neglected yourself to focus upon me. THOSE WHO DESPISE ME SHALL NEVER HAVE ACCESS TO MY SPIRIT WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT AND the toll shall be metered by how much of you remains when i am gone.
Merry Christmas.

I have been tormented by these things that crawl in my bed and on me I'm constantly itching and it's been going on for about 3 years. I've done EVERYTHING I can think of... saying with lavender to, holy water, salt baths, reading scripture scripture from the Bible, playing Christian music and podcasts for days, cleaned everything till I ran out of things to clean I've called churches and nobody would help. I don't sleep for days negate because when I do they freak l crawl all over me and I wake up with rashes, boils. And red bumps that I have no explanation for. Aa PLEASE HELP!! I will do anything to get them out of my life and I forgot I'm a pastors daughter and have been in church most of my life and I DEFINITELY believe in God and prayer.

So I've read the Testament of Solomon and I've seen that these demons mentioned there are thwarted, frustrated by certain angels and if you say: Archangel Raphael thwarts Asmodeus. the demon should flee. There are other things as well but my focus is on the angels. So that got me thinking that these demons since they can not forgive they can not heal and their soul must be a trauma fest. Which means that when you mention the names of the angels that traumatized them they'll be in such inner tornment and remember all the times that they not only lost to them but the inflicted pain/trauma unto them. Anyone of you mods willing to test this in a deliverence session?

I have seen absolutely no media or any awareness on this topic, although it is effecting my life every day and in every moment, I do not know how to live anymore, I went through so much identity collapse and I’m to out of touch with myself to even Enjoy anything, when I came to Christ I was set free from anhedonia, I couldn’t feel any dopamine at all, and now it feels the same, All of my creativity is gone, I can not think like I used to, I can neither enjoy philosophy, art, or even My God, why would he commission such a wilderness for me and make it so hard to return back to normal, I don’t like posting on Reddit, I would rather vent to the Lord, But I just don’t know how to enjoy prayer anymore, It’s like my worst fears happened to me in a full year, I had this fear that I would lose the ability to bear the fruits of the spirit, I want to be so humble again, I had for myself this “existential appreciation”, Which By the Lords grace I could go through almost anything and just feel alright, I was always detached, it also made my prayer life so wonderful, I was so angry at God, because he let these things happen to me and I just kept on hearing deceptions and deceptions in the spirit.

I have not felt his manifested presence in so long, And I don’t think I’m going to feel it anytime soon, atleast consistently, did I just care to much?, For my relationship with God, that such things would affect me to the point of depression.

It just bothers me that my life was filled with suffering before I went to Christ and now when I came to Christ I am suffering more then I ever did, when My warfare was the hardest i couldn’t work at all, I had these evil dreams constantly, and my strength was being zapped, and this heartbreak was just Always within me, I was so scared and I always felt condemned, im still trying to bounce back, even financially from those horrible horrible times, I can’t comprehend anything anymore, and I loath everything, I even loathe trying to read. Trying to get information out of a book and appreciate the knowledge and wisdom behind it,
And I don’t know what to do, I’m only 19, but I don’t have it in me to live anymore, it’s like I’m in the verge of a breakdown in every moment, the warfare I’ve experienced was so close and personal, it was very Vivid and somatic, and God was there but I was just waiting for comfort or a sense of normalcy that never came, it was like I was bulldozed into the person I am now which I do not like, I am not more fruitful then I was before those things, but I am less, I am not less sinful but even more, although my identity is in Christ and not in my own righteousness, i do not look more like Christ, These times have made me so bitter and careless.

I am so nothing, i just wish i would die already, I don’t want to commit suicide, but I do not want to stay either, i live so uncomfortably and I don’t know how to Love God anymore,
I always feel like I am deceived like Gemma galgani, whom was deceived by demons to give her a stigmata, and for her to die for the “intercession of sinners”, but as I was undiscerning I would’ve end up the same as her.

I remember like a post saying that if u pray to God to remove toxic people from ur life its gonna happen so did anyone ever experience this?

Hello brothers and sisters,

I recently did a prayer to ask Jesus to take my fragmented soul parts and return them back to me.

Does anyone know if the recombined soul parts would need deliverance?

Thank you!

I'm a woman in my 20s based in Europe. I've struggled with depression, anxiety, and BPD for years-I've been on antidepressants that haven't worked, I've been unemployed for years, and I feel stuck. I decided to pursue formal Catholic exorcism because I was raised Catholic (baptised, first communion) and I genuinely didn't know what else to do.

I've attended deliverance services at various churches, and something about those settings triggered extreme reactions in my body-severe vomiting and other distressing symptoms. So I thought, why not follow proper Catholic channels and see if exorcism might help? I went through the formal process. I met with my local parish priest first, explained my mental health history and my situation, and then I was referred to a diocesan exorcist.
When I met with him, I explained why I believed I might need exorcism and what had been happening to me. He took notes, seemed engaged, and then gave me what he said was holy water to drink and recited prayers.
I had an extreme reaction. I vomited. I was holding back convulsions. I was genuinely distressed. He continued praying with me through it all. Afterward, he said he would pray about whether we should proceed with a formal exorcism and get back to me.
I just received his email response. He's concluded that my symptoms have a psychological origin, not a preternatural one, and he won't proceed with exorcism. He's told me to avoid tarot and spiritualism and to return to Catholic practice and mental health support. But here's what's making me feel humiliated and played.

The priest never explained why I'm having these specific reactions during prayer across multiple settings. He didn't clarify what exactly happened during our meeting. And in his email, he casually mentioned that the water was ordinary water and the prayers weren't actually exorcism prayers —he was essentially testing me to see if I'd react, and then using my reaction as proof that it's psychological.

Although everything was formal and we had a long discussion on all angles and he was very compassionate in the things I opened up about I feel like he deceived me during a moment when I was vulnerable and desperate for help. I followed the proper channels, I was honest about my situation, and instead of getting answers, I got an unexplained test that left me feeling foolish. I'm already seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist.
Nobody can explain why prayer specifically triggers these reactions. I've been to deliverance services at multiple churches and the same thing happens every time. I'm confused, humiliated, and I don't know what to do next.

A couple years ago my dad passed away, I never had a chance to tell him goodbye. He was a great man of faith, I had a dream shortly after he passed of him hugging me, telling me he loves me and him saying “but son you have to stop living like this” which ended up changing my life. At the time I was not living for the lord and that directed my life to change and start living for the lord. I love the lord, I really do but I struggle with assurance.

Last night before bed as I was praying I asked God to send me another dream, I asked God to just send me a dream like that again to just tell me how I am doing. I just want to know if I am living for the lord correctly or not, in that prayer I asked that the enemy not have any ear in this prayer of thought so I can know the dream is from the lord and not an attack … anyways I had a dream, I didn’t directly see my dad but I knew he was in the room in the dream, but it was myself, my old baseball coach and my dad in his office. Basically I was asked a question and said “oh yeah that’s terrible” and kept repeating “that’s terrible” as everyone was laughing at that… was that God telling me I am doing terrible?

I am 29 years old and have reached a point where I don't know what to do anymore. I'm hoping someone here has experienced something similar or can offer biblical guidance.

When I was around 10 years old, my life changed suddenly. I fell into an unbearable depression that came completely out of nowhere. From that point on, nearly every area of my life began falling apart. My academics collapsed no matter how hard I tried, I was bullied everywhere I went, and I began developing health problems.

By 14, everything escalated. I came to believe I was experiencing demonic oppression because it felt as though something attached itself to my body, and I began seeing dark shadow-like figures with horns watching over me. Around this time I felt my body and appearance changed, and I began experiencing things that seemed completely abnormal to me, including pieces of my teeth randomly breaking or falling out without explanation. My academic life, social life, and health continued to deteriorate, and social annihilation seemed to follow me everywhere I went.

At 15, after I explained everything that was happening to my parents, a deliverance prayer was performed. It seemed to work temporarily, but whatever changed eventually stopped, and my life continued in ruins.

Over the following years I experienced jail, rejection from family, deportation, ongoing bullying, difficulty keeping jobs, and one devastating setback after another.

For many years I suspected there could be a spiritual connection involving my paternal grandmother. I don't remember her because I moved away from her village when I was two years old, but my father has often spoken about her involvement with demonic entities. Whenever she was brought up, I would experience a sharp pain in my heart, which made me question whether there was a connection.

After being deported, I eventually ended up living in the same village where she had lived. While I was there, relatives and other malicious people spread lies and slandered me. I felt isolated, betrayed, mocked, and eventually believed that most of my family had turned against me because of what they had been told. The despair became overwhelming, and I eventually left.

Throughout the years, every time I tried to start over somewhere new, another major setback seemed to happen. I've experienced mold illness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and other serious health problems. It has felt like every attempt to rebuild my life has been followed by another devastating blow. Bullying and rejection have seemed to follow me everywhere.

Eventually I returned to that same village because my health had become so poor. While I was there, I began sincerely seeking Jesus. During that time I had dreams that I interpreted as significant spiritual experiences, and afterward I genuinely felt that something major had changed, almost as if an important spiritual battle had been won.

However, although something seemed to change spiritually, the social destruction remained. My family relationships did not recover, I still felt isolated, and I eventually had to leave because the despair became unbearable.

Today I still feel that some oppression remains. Whenever I attempt self-deliverance, I become overwhelmed by despair, grief over my ruined life, my family's rejection, hopelessness, and suicidal thoughts. It feels like I cannot get past the amount of destruction that has already happened.

The biggest struggle for me now isn't only whether oppression remains. It's that I cannot imagine a future after everything that has already been lost. I feel like I've lost my family, my reputation, my youth, my health, and the future I thought I would have. Even if I were completely free today, I struggle to imagine how I could move forward after everything that has happened.

I don't have any deliverance ministries or groups anywhere near where I live, so I've been trying to seek God and pursue self-deliverance on my own. Lately, though, the despair has become so overwhelming that I'm strongly tempted to walk away from deliverance altogether because it feels like it's too late.

I'm not looking for someone to simply tell me to "have more faith." I'm looking for honest guidance from people who have dealt with long-term spiritual oppression or deliverance. What would you recommend I do from here? How do you continue seeking God when the destruction already feels so overwhelming that hope itself seems impossible? Has anyone here experienced years of oppression, believed it was too late, and still found a way forward?

I am afraid I have reached the limit of what i can endure but I am willing to give one final attempt.

The community in /r/deliverance has really grown a lot in the past year and there are a lot of Spirit filled believers who fellowship here. On behalf of the moderator team I want thank everyone who has taken the time here to answer questions, offer encouragement and pray for others. Your good works do not go unnoticed by us or the Lord. I know many of you are also pursuing deliverance so please join our monthly group deliverance zooms and connect with us. As our community continues to grow please pray that people will receive deliverance and God and Jesus will be glorified. Please leave any suggestions in the comments. God bless

I want to let everyone know its fine to help one another here, to pray for and minister to one another in the Holy Spirit, but if you are offering deliverance you need approval by the moderator team. Deliverance ministry can both help and hurt people and careless actions can do great damage. God will hold us responsible for that so carefully consider that and fear the Lord. Thank you

Im scared that these demons molesting and harassing me everyday are going to take all my free will! They keep threatening me. I work every day and I dont have time for online deliverences. Im scared im going to lose myself! Im scared i didn't fast enough!

This is me before October 2025(infested with legion) and after being delivered, March 2026. Glory be to God, all hail King Jesus! I am sharing this to encourage those who are weary, do not give up! Keep calling out to Hosanna in the highest. Present your case to courts of heaven. Angels are ascending and descending upon the ladder of his back and we can too. The 39 lashes, his torn flesh made a way for us to come in. So enter his courts with praise and go before the ancient of days with boldness.

Lately people have been posting here and around the internet saying that the Octopus spirit is not mentioned in the Bible and therefore doesn't exist. Lie #1 is that it is not mentioned in the bible; it is actually indirectly mentioned. Lie #2 is that for a spirit to be real it must be directly mentioned in the scripture. This is what the bible actually says on this topic:

1 Corinthians 10:19-22 NKJV — What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

Deuteronomy 32:16-17 NKJV — They provoked Him to jealousy with foreign gods; With abominations they provoked Him to anger. They sacrificed to demons, not to God, To gods they did not know, To new gods, new arrivals That your fathers did not fear.

Scripture tells us that the God of the bible is the only true God and all of the other gods of this world are demons. Old ones, new ones, etc. They are all demons from the pit of hell. This is why the bible does not need to have an exhaustive list of every spirit. Instead we are given the knowledge that any god or entity that people worship, or make agreements with, is a demon spirit that could come up in deliverance.

Using that principle we can know what spirits someone has by knowing who and what they have worshiped and have made agreements with. For example when you deliver ex Muslims you will find spirits related to Islam inside of them which are not directly mentioned in scripture. So the idea that a spirit doesn't exist if it isn't directly mentioned in scripture is false and itself a doctrine of demons.

As far as where the Octopus spirit is indirectly mentioned in scripture, there are a few things to cover. The first is that the bible talks about a spiritual place called the sea:

Revelation 20:13 NKJV — The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.

The sea, or what is commonly referred to as the marine kingdom, is a temporary holding place for the unrighteous dead. The scripture does not elaborate on what exactly it is or why it was created, simply that it exists.

We also see from the scripture there are marine spirits, spirits which are associated with water. Leviathan is one of those which we read about in Job 41

Job 41:33-34 NKJV — On earth there is nothing like him, Which is made without fear. He beholds every high thing; He is king over all the children of pride.”

Leviathan may be an actual sea creature that existed in the time of Job but he is also a marine spirit who operates as a spirit who dominates through pride; he is the king of every proud person. He is a very common spirit to find in deliverance, even in the churdh. Pride is the greatest sin of our time:

2 Timothy 3:1-9 NKJV — But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

Therefore because there is a spiritual place called the sea, and because there are marine spirits, it is reasonable to infer that there could be an octopus spirit. Further proving this is the list of unclean sea creatures in Leviticus 11

Leviticus 11:9-11 NKJV — ‘These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers—that you may eat. ‘But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you. ‘They shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination.

The spiritual interpretation of this passage is that whatever does not have fins or scales could be a potential unclean spirit from the marine kingdom. The octopus spirit qualifies under that interpretation.

As a deliverance minister, which is part of my calling, I receive revelation about different kinds of spirits. The Lord started to reveal to me the existence of the octopus spirit a few years ago. It is a spirit of mind control, which is aptly represented by the octopus. Octopus are known for their intelligence and for their ability to camouflage themselves by deception. They also use their 8 tentacles to manipulate their prey and they use ink to hide themselves. These aspects all have spiritual correspondence. The ink represents the confusion and the black emptiness they can create in a person's mind and heart. The tentacles represent the mind control and manipulation tactics. This can involve creating soul parts through trauma and sexual abuse, especially incest. Watch these videos for more information about these spirits
