Op you are the head of the household ,you need to go to Father God and ask for reasons why ur wife is having nightmares all of a sudden in a house u have thrived in for 5 years( according to you).
It could be The Lord wants you in a new place and ur refusal would be disobedience to God's will resulting in the negativity you are experiencing.
OR
The wife is/may have dabbling/ed in some weird stuff that needs dealing with either through christian confession or she needs a psychiatrist.

fight or relocate- i feel you have chosen to relocate since u have renewed your rent. psalms looking through them and select the ones that seem more appropriate. make her read them just before she sleeps. read psalm 121 aloud. thank me later.

Good evening, my able people. I initially wanted to post this thread on RELIGION section, but on a second thought, I considered it will make more sense to post it here. The issues to be discussed cut across FAMILY and RELIGION, hence my confusion over which section it should be posted.

My wife's been having recurrent nightmares. Seriously, she hardly have a smooth night. Its all screams and screams, and incessant dreams of death hovering around us. We have prayed and fasted, but the dreams keep coming. Whenever I'm on night shift, I'm also worried about her safety back home. Its either she dreams of our kids having serious attacks or herself being under attacks. Its really challenging.

A few weeks ago, we visited a pastor, and after some discussions he suggested we should relocate to another apartment/place. I pretended like I didnt hear him. When we got home, my wife brought the issue up again and I told her we werent going anywhere. I told her we should continue praying and believe God to see us through. We've been in our current apartment for a little over 5 years. Now she says shes no longer comfortable with the house and that we must relocate. Honestly, she hardly enjoys the place. Whether or not it got anything to do with what our pastor told us, I couldnt tell.

Today, she brought it up again. She had gone to see her business colleague, and according to her they zoomed off into religious stuff, and the issue of our house and the bad dreams came up. Of course, her pastor friend also suggested we relocate. A little argument came up and i had to leave the house. I'm typing from the office; night duty things.

My stand is this: being a Christian over a decade, plus knowing the fact relocating to a new place may not necessarily stop the attacks, I still believe we should ask some of our pastors to come over to our house and join us in prayer. I believe a Christian shouldnt run from demonic attacks, but should instead fight back and withstand these foes. Its my belief shaa!

I just renewed our rent for the year a few days ago. But my wife is still insisting we relocate. Her health and happiness, needless to say, is very important to the both of us, and I dont want to appear insensitive and selfish. What should I do? What if she is right? Should I stand my ground? What if I'm wrong? Too many thoughts crossing my mind. That will be the third place we will be relocating to within our axis.

Whats the best way to handle this situation? Please, I will appreciate all meaningful suggestions and advice....

Thanks, in advance.

At least it is dreams she is having. In my case, 2 Owls were living in the celin of the flat i just paid for. And they made terrible noises by our windows every single night. I almost ran mad. I knew i could not go anywhere. I had to fight the battle. I am sure even those that planted those things there respect me now. Total Silence!

^^^
My family had owls living in the ceiling of our home which had been unoccupied for a while. They also made terrible noises at night.

We almost ran mad too, but for reasons very different from yours - owls have a habit of leaving their droppings all over the place. It was a battle to keep the floors clean for more than just a few hours.

I saw one of the owls a couple of times - and all I can say is that white owls are strikingly beautiful creatures once you get over the superstition and fear associated with them. They are only birds after all.

We got rid of the owls too but I'm not sure that was such a good idea. They have been known to keep rats and field mice under control.

Being a Christian doesn't mean shouldn't act with caution....If i where in ur shoe, even without talking to a pastor, my instinct would've suggest to me that relocating is a MUST for us.


You just have to relocate and try somewhere else, Sometimes this things happen, People even leave there own house built with their own money bcus of some spiritual attacks even when their hands are clean.

Just try and relocate, Though you just renew your rent, You can talk with ur landlord or landlady if they can balance you maybe six months of the rent after a new tenant moves in....But don't let them know ur moving out until ur done getting a new place.

Even if is a smaller apartment than what u presently occupy, Just go for it.

ITbomb:

Relocate with her (if possible) for a few nights. If it persist, na she know wetin dey happen

exactly wat u should do first. follow this man's advice.he made a lot of sense here

E no easy like that ooo...To get a decent apartment for my axis in PH na die....

U can't move a family of 5 like that na....

Then tell your wife so.

Why do I find something fishy about this.... I believe if any of are dreams had been about your demise all through, I'm sure you will be miles away from that house, or is there something your benefiting that we don't know of? Bro. if you truly value the and love your wife, and you really want her to be happy then you should find accommodation some other places...

dein77:


You just know when one of them comes along!

Seriously.

my brother y are u ignoring the advice of Ur wife and pastor. learn 2 listen to Ur wife. her opinions matter a lot. u guys are one body in Christ Jesus.
move out of the house, these things happen. God is constantly revealing 2 her impending disasters that might happen if u remain in d house and u simply choose to ignore the pastors advice.
if u love Ur wife pls move out. taking her to a hotel to spend d night 2 see if d nightmares will continue is ridiculous.
listen 2 spiritual authority and take my advice fast. God bless u and family, and I advert any danger in JESUS MIGHTY NAME.

No Problem Op.

Since you just paid this rent, get another house and let her pay the rent for that one.

Problem solved.

Oh dear. Some people are just terrible...some of the things on this thread.

My friend, may God bring you out.

I suggest you and your wife read Demonology - A christian book by William Branham. Just google it with the Author's name. Also read The Sixth Sense. The Sixth Sense is Faith actually and Demonology just exposes the devil.

What you both need is strengthening of faith. There is a story i love in the Sixth Sense sermon...a woman who was possessed by the devil,, so bad she crawled on her back for years and needed 6 strong men to hold her down, kicking out all the windows in the car was healed by the faith of her husband. You may have prayed but what is your attitude AFTER the prayer? Not saying your wife is possessed at all, just talking about the story. Truly with God all things are possible and there is nothing too hard for Him. I've experienced His Glory in my life. Believe me, there is NO devil the name of Jesus cannot cast out. You don't even need fire fire prayer though those are ok. Its just sincere prayer and unflinching faith.

Get rid of any filth in your house and life (music, movies etc). Make your house a place where the Holy Spirit can be comfortable to come and dwell. Praise God before you sleep, that kind of praise and worship that is sincere and brings Him down. Read the Bible, a chapter will even do before you sleep. Then, sleep in that ambience of His Presence. I CHALLENGE ANY DEVIL that can withstand His Presence, its a palpable Power you can feel. He inhabits our praises you know.... Give yourself and your family completely to God, nothing kept in His Hands is lost. I may have said somethings that will make lots of people sneer but its my own contribution and what i have tried that WORKED.

P.S: (Not to the OP) If you have never experienced what i have described, dont bother quoting me. Only quote me or hate on me if you have and it didnt work.

skentelelady:


Spiritual attack dont have respect for places. Even if one goes to planet Mars, it will still follow one there. Which was why i said it might not be the house.

If she doesnt have nightmares in another place, it simply means there is something evil that has just been done in that house since the have been there for like 5 years.

you may have a point but it may also be psychological about the house

Hello Op,

I decided to respond to this post because I have once been a victim of ceaseless nightmares so much that i used to dread night times. It took years before i overcame the experience.
What i realised then was that i'm usually weaker and more fearful whenever i have sinned during the day. I became more committed and yielded to the Holy spirit and I started trying as much as possible with the help of the Holy spirit to keep away from sin, whenever i sin i make sure i ask God for forgiveness immediately i realised or before i retire to bed. I included some prayer points before i go to bed which are specifically targeted at rebuking and binding every spirit of oppression and nightmares. With these i became more powerful in my dreams/ nightmares and able to effectively invoke the name of Jesus to fight back anytime i have a nightmare. The name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus is more effective when you are not holding on to iniquity. Gradually the frequent nightmares ceased to be and now it's a story for the past.
It was not just by any Pastor's effort that i overcame but by the help of the Holyspirit who gave me power to conquer.

God bless you real good.

Op my concern is why u dont want to relocate... why u are so bent on staying in that apartment. Is there something u are not telling us

Nightmares are beyond one's replay of daytime activities,wen you dream,you are inbetween life and death,your wife's concerns are genuine.it has nothing to do with the time she sleeps or how she sleeps(heard someone saying that she sleeping face up may be the reason)...first,your wife needs to "allocate her place in Christ" Bible says "the earth is the lord's and it's fullness there of Psalm24",that means watever position of the bed she choses to sleep(face-up,face-down,face-wall,east,west,north,south)all belongs to God,she has to declear that for herself.belif it or not,tins like this helps you to build your spiritual muscles..and god gives the hardest battle to his strongest army,not weaklings.
Then if that doesn't work..it means she has failed to be a king ang a priest and to have dominion...meaning the enemy has got the upper hand,then you can relocate.

I want to suggest the following:

1. Do not FEAR[b][/b]. God can not help you if you are fearful.Sir, without exercising fear tell your wife to say Rev. 20:10 and Rev 20:1-4 and 2 Peter 2:4 severally by 12 am morrow. Do not fear; I have redeemed you.Read Isaiah 41 : 10-
2. Make sure your wife's salvation is genuine.
3. Sleep early say around 8 pm. Then, wake up 1 am to pray till 3 am.
4. Go for deliverance. You do not know what she may have swallowed.
5. Use the word of God a lot. I tell you they detest it. Tell your wife to turn His word to food. Depend solely on it. Dont[b][/b] add anything.
6. Cancel the dreams using the blood of Jesus.
7. Pray against powers residing in the walls of your house.
8. Reduce her stress level (house chores).
9. Do things that are pleasing to God at all times. Do away with sin.
10. Engage her in church activities most especially, cleaning of the church. As she is doing it, She can be praying that God should sweep the root cause of these dreams.

I want to suggest she memorizes : Luke 10 :19; Rev. 12:11; Ps. 91; Ps. 121, Jer. 20: 11; Ps. 27,


God will deliver us.

Please take her to The Lord's chosen for deliverance.

Y don't u take your wife with u and stay in an hotel for at least 3 days, then if she didnt complain again, then relocate bt if it persist
Then go extra mile on knowing the source of the problem

coogar:
what kinda attacks are we talking about?
spiritual attack or what? you better sit your wife down & make her confess if she had done anything vile in the past. i cannot understand why she's the only one being attacked while you(the hubby) is immune to the attack.

make your own private enquiry & draw a logical conclusion from it.

In addition to this, dream is sometimes the reflection of our thoughts or what we often indulges ourselves into or it could also be a warning of danger ahead. However, it could be that your wife is often entertaining fear of being all alone with the kids. Your wife constant nightmare of losing one of your kids may not necessarily signify losing any of your kid but you losing what you cherish most in your life, it could be your job, huge money, lose in business or whatever you value most. So, you prayer point shouldn't be focusing on death alone but should be all I just mention. I would have help you in my own little way to explain to you the meaning of the nightmare if I hear the full story. Finally, am not of opinion that you should relocate just like others have suggested above because as a military man, I don't believe in running away from challenge will Lessing your challenge instead it will worsting it. So confront it as a Christian with prayer and fasting. Period.

I have had nightmares before. And it wasn't about the house i was living in.
Sickness, demons, death, choking, silence...they all featured in my dreams. They were so scary, that i would wake up with words of prayer thumbling out of my mouth.
It got to a point, I didn't want to sleep at home anymore.

However, there was a small fellowship of less than 10 people I was invited to. I never attended. Something made me attend on this day.
During the prayer session, the revelation about my dreams came. Even highlighted the time at night I woke up the previous night from a nightmare.

All in all, I wasn't being haunted by the house. It was my general life as a christian.
When you are not living a true life as a christian, you leave the door open to be attacked.
It's not about fasting and praying. It's about your day to day life. How christian are they?

I cleaned up my ways, understood what it meant to live a life that glorifies God. The dreams went away.
I didn't relocate.

My current landlord is the best a tenant could ever dream having. He's well to do. Well loaded, and we know his means of livelihood.

That means you are lucky cos they are just few.

I honestly don't understand how someone can be a christian, pray fervently, recite all the bible portions(even the ones that say you'll lift scorpions/serpents without getting hurt, have thousand peeps and things fall on you without a scratch, bind whatever you want etc)and still be afraid of nightmares or supposed attacks, abeg what's the point of being a christian and believing all what's written in the bible?

See the so called christians sef shouting, "relocate" up and down, as if whatever is chasing them from their house can't follow them some place else(given that their prayers haven't helped), smh.

Tell her to stop sleeping facing up

@bold:

There is no standing your ground here...

It is both of you resolving the issues on ground

You can also do private prayers or/and consult with a pastor who is not a mutual friend

gifted eyes like us see and sense the beyond, i can help you but i need more deeper hints than just your short writings..what church do you people attend? any marital problems? any extra marrital affairs? who does she really see in her dreams? when did she start complaining? let me hear you, then i tell you the right thing to do...

[quote author=Boss13 post=30897708]

There is nothing like spiritual attacks that is what I am trying to say. The living has nothing to do with the dead. If the wife is having nightmares she should change her routine. We all have nightmares but changing houses after rent has been paid it just ridiculous to me. The wife can try sleeping with the lights on especially when she sleeps alone or watch a very funny movie. If ghost wan kill am, e go don kill am since but for sure ghosts have no effect on us.

I forgot to add that pastoring is one of the most dubious profession in the world. I buy into ur intuition Boss13. I rily feel dat drms are a reflection of our thoughts. During d day i am always scared of my future. If i am going 2b successful or nt. Den wen i go 2 bed, d knd of drms i hv are wat i tot abt during d day. @ op u hu 2 do wat boss13 said nd c if it wil hlp. #peace

@ op did someone visit you recently and spent the night in your house?os I've seen situations like this when another person use someone else house as coven.
