Don't Hold It Inside!

[Robert Cragg]

Hell-o Everyone:

I need help: I have been trying to keep my emotional feelings in too long.
I don't know why, because the best thing anyone can do is unload things that are bothering you.

For quite sometime now I've been strugling with many things that are now getting worse and I would like to share some, There is a reason why that God wants me to do it now, but there must be someone out there that needs to speak out as well.
I'm going throught some things that some might say I'm crazy, but I'm not I have just been trying to deal with spiritual problems, with worldly answers and that will not work.

I can get into fits of anger at the drop of a hat, I'm sure some of you are aware of that, but that goes completly against the person God created me to be, I'm having problems that show symptons of a stroke type, I'm having problems with my memory, my balance, focusing on anyone thing for very long, my ability to spell words is terrible I have to look up simple words in the dictionary and right in the middle of talking to someone I totaly lose my train of thought, now I have been diagnosed as bipolar, and I had a brain scan yesterday, but I probally won't get the results for a week.

I have been reading the Bible and studing for quite sometime and have been growing in the word, know this is not pride just a matter of fact, I have taken many biblical courses and passed them all, I love to do reseach, so what am I saying is,
my problem is in the spirit realm, why because as soon as you except Jesus into your heart, the devil starts to attack and as you grow more he attacks more, thats what is happening to me and I should have reallized this along time ago, satan knows he can't cause you to lose you salvation but if he can cause any kind of pain for you whether it be physical or emotional he will and keep on trying, the fact is he knows his time is short, don't ever think he does not know scripture because he does, and he'll use it againts you, like he tried to do with Jesus, buy quoteing half truths, or straight out lies. We however have been given the power to shut him up. So why don't we, because he is good at out smarting us. You might say why does not God stop it, because he wants us to grow in wisdom to be a strong soldier in this spiritual battle, and the more we grow spiritually the more dangerous we are to satans kingdom.

So I said all this through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, because somebody maybe more than one on this forum needs to understand that.
So I hope I've been a help to someone out there and I thank you all that take the time to read this. I love this forum and I'm glad to be part of it.
Sincerly,
Robert

What you describe Rob are also symptoms of severe stress. I would in no way try to undermine your doctor but always keep in mind that you are in the hands of the best doctor ever. God created us and He knows the answer and has the cure for ALL our ailments. Bipolar is (for want of a better expression) the buzz illness of the moment and can fill some poeple with dread but it is nothing to our wonderful Father in heaven. Whatever your complaint, when it is given over to Him as you have done, will be used for good. I wouldn't normally say something like this because I think it can so often sound condescending but I hope it hasn't come across that way on this occasion.
Thanks for sharing Rob, you are in my prayers ((((((((((((Rob))))))))))))))))

because as soon as you except Jesus into your heart, the devil starts to attack and as you grow more he attacks more,

Some say the closer you get to God, the more you have to fight you're demons.

get ya backside with the docs, and get ya meds and get cracking

[smellycat]

pray to God ask him to help you.explain what has been going on,and ask can he find out for you whats happening.

you can be used aggainst yourself by thoughts,ask your thought to ask jesus.iv,e been played on by thoughts,or people being used either by getting into my head,or by there words etc.

first and foremost don,t worry.
to worry just zaps you of energy and tires you out.
i suffer with this,trying to overcome it.

when i was born again,i had satan or a demon from him jumping through unsaved people with ease talking through them like.not good.

he can,t enter us when we have the holy spirit,so he attacks in diffrent ways.

i myself have had a sycosis through them times.
and often feel like my brain cells are being checked.

i have prayed over this and asked.
my doctor says its the chemicals transforming in my brain.

i went through hell for a long time,years,things are getting better slowly.

i don,t know where the jesus into your heart thing comes from.?is this scriptual.?i hear a lot of this on tv.?

Hi Robert, I'll remember you in my prayers.

I agree with what has been said by others that demonic attack can be real, and that it can increase as we get closer to God. However, from what you say here

I'm having problems that show symptons of a stroke type, I'm having problems with my memory, my balance, focusing on anyone thing for very long, my ability to spell words is terrible I have to look up simple words in the dictionary and right in the middle of talking to someone I totaly lose my train of thought.

this sounds to me to be much more likely to have a physical cause. Keep praying, but follow the medical advice as well. There may well be treatment that you need.

Robert, in your post you voiced your understanding of the sword of the spirit, (the word of God) and although you admitted you needed to confess. You never actually said that you had. Forgive me if I've misunderstood you, but we all need to bring our sins to the light in confession because to leave them in the darkness is to leave them in the realm of Satan where he has a right to them and will use them against us. Once they are in the light, they are in the realm of God and Satan has no right to them, as scripture says;
James 5:16 (ANIV)
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
It may be that you already have this in hand bro, but it is, as you say, imperative that people know this, hence our posts. bless you. SS
