Science can give fancy names to so many things.. But the truth is that there is a demon that causes that to happen.

This demon sometimes may press down a person or sit on the person.. It chokes the spirit of a person which makes a person unable to move but he/she is aware of the physical environment at that particular time.. The person even loses his/her voice..

It's a spiritual thing. Not physical. It's a demonic manipulation on the soul of a person.


The way to break free from this demon is simple. You simply need to have a strong desire to break free. You have to use force. Relax a little, then push your body forward with force and you'll be free.

Also, you can plead the blood of Jesus and command yourself to be free.


Remember, demons feed off on your fears.. Meaning, the more you are afraid, the greater strength they have over you.. So in this case do not panic at all.. Or else it will be difficult to break free from this so called 'sleep paralysis'.

God bless you.

i always dream and see myself preaching, or praying for people with tears in my eyes, d last one i drmt was, i was in a big congregation of people, i was ministering to sick, the possessed and physical challenge people.
What amuses me is that, when i wake, i feel my body in a diff way, i also feel like i finish crying.
Pls can u explain this occurence

There is evil activity that always take place at night while we sleep.

There is one particular thing that evil people do. This, I would like to expose.


When a person wakes up, he/she sees blood all over the body. The blood is in drops.
The person has no idea how blood got into the house or even on their body just overnight.



The blood will in most cases be sprinkled around the environment of that person. Maybe the parlour, kitchen etc. even outside the house in the surrounding compound.


This is witchcraft in a very wicked form. That person which this was done upon will certainly have problems.


The blood is a spiritual channel to attract demons so that even the earth works against that person in what he/she does in life.


The earth works hand in hand with blood and evil people will use this knowledge as witchcraft against their enemies.



What this person must do is to take water and sanctify it with the Blood of Jesus Christ. Sprinkle the water all over the house where blood was sprinkled on. While doing this he/she must be praying; cancelling the works of darkness in their life.


Then the person should take that sanctified water and sanctify the ground outside (earth).. Then speak to the earth and reverse every negative instructions the earth took to work against him/her in the Name of Jesus. Command the earth to work in your favour according to the word of God.


Then the person should bathe with the sanctified water. And God will intervene in Jesus Name.. AMEN

It is a very good thing to always see oneself doing these in a dream. Dreams like this portray the true nature(heart) of a person and it will be a calling from God into ministration.

God is subtly saying 'Hello Dear, this is what I want from you'.


You have to move closer to God to get the bigger picture. Walk with God and allow Him to direct you into what He wants for you.

God bless you.

charlyg1 oyeludef vooks analice107, and others I fail to mention. This is one of the most enlightening thread have ever come across on nairaland. I started reading from page1 on thurs and I got to page 35 before I decided to seek for advice from you all. Pls forgive me, this might be a long.
I got exposed to pornography at a very early stage of my life which resulted to me becoming a CHRONIC masturbator. I knew masturbating was a sin, but each time I decide to stop, I went as far as only a couple of days, before plunging farther into this sin. This sin drained me spiritually as I started having sex dreams, the sex dreams were occurring on a regular basis that it became normal to me.
Fast forward to some years ago, I got saved and my determination got stronger to forsake the evil addiction. God took glory, and I can boldly say now that it's a thing of the past. Along with my salvation came a yearning and thirst for God and His word like never before.
Last year I started believing God for something in my life, but it wasn't forthcoming. I prayed and prayed but it wasn't forthcoming. Recently a word of knowledge came to me that what was preventing the manifestation of what I was seeking was the demons that I had unknowingly invited into my life through masturbation.Ok, they say a problem is half solved once the cause is determined. I knew i needed to head striaght to mfm for deliverance right away, but my hubby doesnt believe in such and would never permit to go for any deliverance anywhere. so I started a series of warfare prayer on my own using some mfm books backed with fasting to attack the spirit husband. The sex dreams stopped only for it to start again after some time. I got angry in my spirit after the last sex dream, and started another 14days prayer and fasting, backed with serious warfare prayer session. To my astonishment, right in the middle of the prayer and fasting, I had the sex dream again, not once and not even twice. Let me reiterate that God has given me the grace to flee from sin for a while now, and I yearn and long for Him like never before.
Now my dilemma is this, why am I still having this sex dreams even after forsaking sin and becoming a new creature in Christ, after all the bible says.... "old things have passed away and all things have become new". It also says "he who the son sets free is free indeed". Why have I not gotten my freedom even after being born again and series of prayer and fasting. The bible also says..... "upon mount Zion there shall be delivrance". But mine seems to be elusive. Do I need to go to a BIBLE BELEIVING CHURCH to get delivered, can't I pray and fast on my own and be delivered. Am currently on another praying and fasting session, yet I still had this sex dream last night.
Pls good brethren of Christ, I need your opinion on this.
May God give us the grace to remain steadfast in Him. Amen

You can of cause pray and fast on your own and get delivered of any affliction, I will answer this question by stating a personal story to highlight what i suspect is missing in your own case.

After I got saved, I grew very fast spiritually;thanks to God the church I was attending was a bible preaching one. Then, I used to have dreams of eating in my dream, terrible foods. If it were rice and dodo, maybe I wont be so disturbed but things like beans cake fried in red oil (akara elepo), solid pap (eko), yellow yam (esuru) etc, now if you are from my tribe (Yoruba) you will know the food items mentioned are objects of sacrifice you will probably see in some T-junction of Yorubaland.

I remember praying and praying on this matter without a solution, immediately I finish a fasting programme; praying, binding and loosing, it would be another terrible food like what Yorubas call ekuru (white version of moinmoin, dont know the english name for that). Then I started learning and walking in faith until I became bolder in my faith with God. This faithful day, I slept again and I was offered another set of terrible combinations of food in my dream, when I woke up, I almost felt the taste of the meal fed in dream on my tongue and my belly was literally filled up (that´s no joke), then; I stood up saying the following words `satan thanks for feeding me in my dream but since you refused to provide water along the meal, let me take some cup of water join the food you gave in my dream for proper digestion`. Then I stood up, took a cup of water and drank it, then smiled with relish (no fear, no anxiety), immediately, my stomach deflated with oouf!! sound and that was the last day I had such a dream.

Now coming back to you, you need to mix your prayers with a stronger faith and even when you have such dream, wake up and thank God for the blissful rest you had, begin magnifying and praising God and dont entertain any fears over the dream. Satan is an idiot and his demons relish in making our life frustrated, they will keep coming at you as long as they know such a thing is really getting at you but you will receive your deliverance the day they saw your faith as outgrown such a thing. Dont concentrate on this issue, keep working on developing your spiritual life, medidtate on the scriptures until you start chewing it like eba, this yeye irritant will soon disappear before you know it, concentrate on developing your spiritual life and dont allow this nonsense demon trouble you, you are bigger than it!.

Dont look at the strength of your challenge, tell the challenge the strength of your God.

Shalom

Thanks a whole lot, the truth is that the dreams get to me, I sometimes feel like God isn't answering my prayers, now I have to believe that have been indeed set free. The devil is only trying to frustrate me, but he has failed on arrival. Thanks once again.

You are welcome Sister and forget about your past (masturbation or not), God has forgiven you and let no demon keep reminding you of it as a source of any issue in your life, he is cheap liar.


I will tell you another story just to drive home my earlier point, this also a personal one.

During my final year in the university, I was actively involved in the work of the ministry, as I was tiding up to finish my undergraduate project, I started having this dream repetitively. It is either I saw myself with an incomplete university certificate, torn certificate, dirty or squeezed certificates etc, every night continuously....I knew what satan was planning but guess what I did, due to my past experience and because I have grown stronger in faith, one day during my morning worship, I spent time worshiping God more than I usually do at the end of which I said...`Father, it appears satan is trying to keep in the university for an additional year, well, I wont be praying about it as it appears good to me to serve you more in the work of ministry for another year in this town and I promise Father, I will do more to destroy the works of the devil more and more this one year satan is causing me`.. That was the last time I had that dream, it stopped and I graduated same year.

Next time of such harassment, worship God more than usual and tell Him how great your night was. If it comes again, wake up, praise and dance before His presence more and stop not, you know why?

If satan cant induce you to fear or get frustrated, he gets frustrated..

Thank u
i was told by a genuine prophet of God that he sees me wearing a white apron like that of Ayo Babalola, that i carry his kind of anointing.
But what i wonder is, when and how this will manifest, i also want to stop sinning but i find it hard, i need a clear vision from God on this.
I think i av d gift of interpretation of drms and i can just know things just like that, i cn define someone without any introduction.
How do i go about al this?
For God's glory to be glorify
i still ask God if now is the time
when i see some1 bin possess manifestin in d church, i fil like commanding d spirit out, my body is nt myself at dat moment.

sister relax, the devil has always been a liar from time immemorial. Stop the long fast and weneva the devil tries to wisper that u r not yet free, just speak out d word of God. You are translated from death to life and there is nothing the devil can do about it. Feed on the word of God and as it is the food for ur spirit remember the Bible say we should not live by bread alone but by d word of God. Fear brings torment and d devil nd demons recognizes wen u live in fear. No matter how long u pray, if d motivation is fear u will remain in d same position. Replace ur fear by declaring d word of faith cos without faith, its impossible to please God

It's well. Satan is a liar.
I think, some of us, if not all, have areas where Satan holds down to buffed us after we get saved.
For me, it was cigarette smoking.
What made me very disturbed was that, I never smoked cigarette before. Not one stick, all my life. NEVER.
I can say, God shielded me from a lot of foolishness most teenagers engage in. Like I said before, God used dreams to draw me close to Himself at a very tender age of about 11 or 12. Then, not long after that, my mum got born again in deeper life. My father is a great, deep and strong Catholic. Imagine the conflict. We the Children were caught in the middle. Am very close to my mum, so I tilted towards her. I listened to all she read for me from the Bible. But I still followed my father to Catholic Church, until I went away to Uni. I never did anything wrong without knowing it was wrong, because my mum will open the Bible passage and hand it over to me to read.
I went to secondary school from home, so I was so innocent about a whole lot wen I got to school. I never knew a girl could buy cigarette, talk less of smoking it. I totally never knew anything about lesbianism until my third year in school. I lived in the midst of these young ladies, who were doing these things yet I wasn't seeing or deciphering what was going on, although they never did any in my presence. But the talk was all around me.

My friends attended All Girls School, so they came out ready, while I went to a mixed school, so I was very mumuish. I was kind of popular (if that's the right word to use) in school, because of my Circle of friend. "Big girls", I never knew they were into all these, they knew I was a 'JEW' (remember that term? ) when you refuse to conform. They avoided me in that aspect, until one day, I was confronted by one girl , accusing me of snatching her girl friend. I innocently asked her why we couldn't all be close friends? Her responds was, I don't share. I still didn't understand, I then went to complain to a more senior person from their twon about the treatment I was getting from this girl. The lady asked me what I expected? When I was naively asking all the stupid questions, she realised I didn't know Jack about anything, she busted out laughing, called others to laugh at my mumuishness. She was the one who told me what it all was. How this one is paired with that one, like a thunderbolt, everything exploded in my head. Everything i saw in the past, but didn't connect started fixing up like a puzzle.
My friends got to know that I now knew, and tried to initiate me, but it was too late. I was to old and had I guy Jare. The one who accused me before, tried to make me smoke, because they started smoking openly in my presence. I really wondered how they could hide the smoking from me for long. Even wen I walked into them smoking, it was still a mistake. So, now, they needed me to become a partner. I refused. They started making jest of me. One of their boy friends who they smoked together rebuked them and told me never to let anyone make me do what I didnt want. That encouraged me. I never joined them. So you can imagine, my pain and frustration to see myself smoking cigarette in my dreams steadily, when I got saved.
For years, it happened. The worst part was, anytime my prayer life is very strong, thats when it happens frequently. I will wake up in the morning angry and upset. I prayed and prayed, It kept on happening. I become afraid to pray.

Another thing was, I was seeing myself in the dream naked. This troubled me the most. Thank God, I never had sex in my dream. I don't eat, I don't swim. Even if I cooked the food, I won't eat it. I don't know how I usually know, but, I tell myself in the dream, that I don't eat in the dream.
Most of the 10yrs of my incapacitation I lived a faster life. But this dreams kept happening. I almost felt depressed, that God wasn't hearing my prayers. How can I be fasting and smoking in my dream, the very reason for which I'm fasting? It was so devastating.

I wrote down what the Bible listed out as sins, and was checking my life, which I had over came, which I was struggling with. But I never came across smoking as a sin. But it still worried me.
Every night before I sleep, the lasting I say after prayer is, list out thing I don't do in my dream
I will call my name and say,
You don't eat in your dream,
You don't drink in your dream,
You don't make Love in your dream
You don't swim in your dream. In Jesus Name, Amen. God answered the prayer.
I don't know when He did it. I just wasn't dreaming any of the dreams again. I think it's been years. One day, I remembered that I use to smoke in my dream, but couldn't remember when it stopped.
My dear, keep praying. God knows you hate it. It will stop.
Praise God.

You are welcome Sister and forget about your past (masturbation or not), God has forgiven you and let no demon keep reminding you of it as a source of any issue in your life, he is cheap liar.


I will tell you another story just to drive home my earlier point, this also a personal one.

During my final year in the university, I was actively involved in the work of the ministry, as I was tiding up to finish my undergraduate project, I started having this dream repetitively. It is either I saw myself with an incomplete university certificate, torn certificate, dirty or squeezed certificates etc, every night continuously....I knew what satan was planning but guess what I did, due to my past experience and because I have grown stronger in faith, one day during my morning worship, I spent time worshiping God more than I usually do at the end of which I said...`Father, it appears satan is trying to keep in the university for an additional year, well, I wont be praying about it as it appears good to me to serve you more in the work of ministry for another year in this town and I promise Father, I will do more to destroy the works of the devil more and more this one year satan is causing me`.. That was the last time I had that dream, it stopped and I graduated same year.

Next time of such harassment, worship God more than usual and tell Him how great your night was. If it comes again, wake up, praise and dance before His presence more and stop not, you know why?

If satan cant induce you to fear or get frustrated, he gets frustrated..

Sir you don't know how glad I am to have you here. You are just saying what I find myself doing recently. Fear of any kind is gone from me. Anytime threatened, I'll begin to thank God that he is allowing Satan to give me a testimony.

Satan gave me a testimony two years ago. I mentioned broadcast evangelism, but I didn't mention why I stopped going out for it. Not really because I wasn't seeing fruits. I knew God was responsible for the fruits.
One morning, I had come back from evangelizing , finished by study and devotion. I remembered something I needed to do. I needed wood to do it. Very small wood oo. The 2by2 wood. I just was cutting it into two, wen something hit my left eye like a thunderbolt. If I wasn't alone in that place, I would ve said, someone pulled and released a stone from a catapolt against me. The impart was so hard. That was how I would ve lost my left eye. I was rushed to the hospital. The doctor didn't believe when I told her what happened. She said, something from my hand, couldn't have caused that kind of an impact. It was just too severe to have caused by me. She asked if I fought with anyone, did my husband beat me? Why was I protecting him? A man who can do this can kill you, she said to me. I said, I wasn't married yet. She didn't believe me.
Instantly I was given treatment and drugs close to 20k. About a week later, I became OK. Though not seeing clearly from that eye. The impact left a scar very close to my conea. I was told how fortunate I was, because I almost would ve been blind in that eye.

2 weeks and some days later, it came back full force. I went back to the hospital. Eyes drops were changed, drugs were changed. The doctor didn't understand why the whole thing will come back after I was fine. Eye X-ray was taking to Check for infection, nothing. From then, Satan wanted to make sure I never wemt out of my house. It was becoming a more serious case than I thought. That was when I realized, it wasn't eye drop or drugs matter. Him look for trouble.
I attended an 'All night' where Bishop declared that 10yrs and beyond, we shall be healthy and won't have any need for drugs, and that if we were sick, we were healed. It was if he was talking to me directly. I believed it. when I got home, I packed all the drugs and drops and threw them away. And said 'Satan blind me if you can'. From that day till today, I never used no drop or drugs. I became OK. Then some time later, I woke up feeling like a
I had gel in that eye. It was itching like hell. I couldn't read my Bible. I had the urge to leave my devotion and attend to it, I refused. I wanted to check in the mirror, I resisted it. It was healed, full stop. Whatsoever the Lord doeth is forever. It's not coming back, I said. With my right eye, I read my Bible. Wen I finished, I picked a mirror, dear, when I saw my eye in the mirror, I was scared. My eye was red, like had gel in there. Of course I felt it. It was swollen. My first instinct was, call the doctor, one mind said, "and tell her what?". I just started saying, Satan, thank you for this testimony,its been awhile I testified .
I said, "but make it bigger, make it in such a way that, any one who sees me should shout and run away from me. As matter of fact, blind the eye totally, so that wen God opens it, it will be a big testimony. I want people to really praise God for it when I testify. Truly speaking, I didn't rub that eye, with all the itching, I endured it. Lol, it wasn't quite 5mins, the itching stopped. The swelling went down, the redness cleared, till today. No vitamin C or para, it's been a year and months.
But I have not returned to my evangelism. Thats my laziness and sleep.

I shall start on Monday

charlyg1 oyeludef vooks analice107, and others I fail to mention. This is one of the most enlightening thread have ever come across on nairaland. I started reading from page1 on thurs and I got to page 35 before I decided to seek for advice from you all. Pls forgive me, this might be a long.
I got exposed to pornography at a very early stage of my life which resulted to me becoming a CHRONIC masturbator. I knew masturbating was a sin, but each time I decide to stop, I went as far as only a couple of days, before plunging farther into this sin. This sin drained me spiritually as I started having sex dreams, the sex dreams were occurring on a regular basis that it became normal to me.
Fast forward to some years ago, I got saved and my determination got stronger to forsake the evil addiction. God took glory, and I can boldly say now that it's a thing of the past. Along with my salvation came a yearning and thirst for God and His word like never before.
Last year I started believing God for something in my life, but it wasn't forthcoming. I prayed and prayed but it wasn't forthcoming. Recently a word of knowledge came to me that what was preventing the manifestation of what I was seeking was the demons that I had unknowingly invited into my life through masturbation.Ok, they say a problem is half solved once the cause is determined. I knew i needed to head striaght to mfm for deliverance right away, but my hubby doesnt believe in such and would never permit to go for any deliverance anywhere. so I started a series of warfare prayer on my own using some mfm books backed with fasting to attack the spirit husband. The sex dreams stopped only for it to start again after some time. I got angry in my spirit after the last sex dream, and started another 14days prayer and fasting, backed with serious warfare prayer session. To my astonishment, right in the middle of the prayer and fasting, I had the sex dream again, not once and not even twice. Let me reiterate that God has given me the grace to flee from sin for a while now, and I yearn and long for Him like never before.
Now my dilemma is this, why am I still having this sex dreams even after forsaking sin and becoming a new creature in Christ, after all the bible says.... "old things have passed away and all things have become new". It also says "he who the son sets free is free indeed". Why have I not gotten my freedom even after being born again and series of prayer and fasting. The bible also says..... "upon mount Zion there shall be delivrance". But mine seems to be elusive. Do I need to go to a BIBLE BELEIVING CHURCH to get delivered, can't I pray and fast on my own and be delivered. Am currently on another praying and fasting session, yet I still had this sex dream last night.
Pls good brethren of Christ, I need your opinion on this.
May God give us the grace to remain steadfast in Him. Amen

Gud morning, I feel ur pain after reading dis. I felt I should chip in sumtin, Though I am still growing in the spirit but I av come to learn some secrets about Dreams which I feel will help u in ur case.
This kind of battle is a spiritual battle, u av won in d physical realm by stopping masturbation, u also av to win it in d spiritual realm. Wen I also ceased masturbation (though not a chronic masturbator)the next line of attack was aving sex in my dreams. You av to b alive in ur dream, alive in the sense that u can control ur actions right in ur dreams. ( don't know ow to explain it but for me, since I know wat will happen i.e sex, I go to bed determined in my spirit dat I will resist it, dat I won't fall for it.) U av to prepare for d battle with by quoting a particular scripture to resist it, or rebuking it in d name of Jesus all this u must do in ur dream. it takes time for this determination to yield fruit, though d first couple of trials u might fail , but eventually u will succeed. I also understand dat Dere comes a tym in ur dream dat u can control ur actions. Dat is wen u mention d name of Jesus and rebuke d spirit. Hope that was helpful. God bless.

Yeso ur soooo correct, like I was telling analice over our chat yesterday. The first step to winning over such unpleasant dreams and demonic infiltration is the boldness @which you tackle it and that's what sets you free.

You confront them just immediately after you wake up if u were unable to while asleep, let them know you know what transpired and that there cannot be a repeat of such as u have now refused their nonsense. An aggressive prayer should follow suit and you must really mean it, give them clear warning and next time they even try(that's if they can) they will definitely regret it.

Be bold and declare what you don't want cos most times they want you to be in denial like it's not a big deal and even make u feel ashamed to admit but don't back down admitting to it is the first stance to gaining victory and in the end it shall all end in praise.

God has already done his part, giving us the grace to do all things through Christ our strengthener.

Have a lovely sunday all.

Happy Sunday to you all.

God bless the initiator of this thread and other contibutors.

I stumbled on this thread on Friday evening and I have been follwoing it passionately. Most of my questions have been answered either through other people's experience or contributions.

But I still have one thing disturbing my mind: what makes me forget dreams immediately after waking up to the extent that I won't even remember a thing about the dream but I will know that I just had a dream.

Ma'am, the dream world is the real world, what ever that had been orchestrated in that realm would play out in the physical realm. In the Bible abounds stories that point to that fact.
The reason why you can't recall your dream is because it has been hijacked by demonic aliens. As there are destiny hijackers there also abounds dream hijackers. When you wake up from your dream, and you can't recall them then how do you pray about them.

Dreams are medium used by God to send out messages to his children. In the Bible, patriarch of old and holy men encountered God in their dreams.

It is dangerous for you not to recall your dream and it is more dangerous not to dream at all.

Your prayer point should be thus : dream hijackers, release my dream in the mighty name of Jesus..

I hope this helps. Thanks and God bless you richly

speaking in tongues is an evidence of our belief in the Lord Jesus according to mark16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mark 16:17 KJV.
It involves a believer speaking in an unknown tongue as the Holy Spirit gives utterance so that means you need to b baptized in the Holy Ghost to b able to speak in tongues. Ask any questions on d topic that seems to bother you.

It's well. Satan is a liar.
I think, some of us, if not all, have areas where Satan holds down to buffed us after we get saved.
For me, it was cigarette smoking.
What made me very disturbed was that, I never smoked cigarette before. Not one stick, all my life. NEVER.
I can say, God shielded me from a lot of foolishness most teenagers engage in. Like I said before, God used dreams to draw me close to Himself at a very tender age of about 11 or 12. Then, not long after that, my mum got born again in deeper life. My father is a great, deep and strong Catholic. Imagine the conflict. We the Children were caught in the middle. Am very close to my mum, so I tilted towards her. I listened to all she read for me from the Bible. But I still followed my father to Catholic Church, until I went away to Uni. I never did anything wrong without knowing it was wrong, because my mum will open the Bible passage and hand it over to me to read.
I went to secondary school from home, so I was so innocent about a whole lot wen I got to school. I never knew a girl could buy cigarette, talk less of smoking it. I totally never knew anything about lesbianism until my third year in school. I lived in the midst of these young ladies, who were doing these things yet I wasn't seeing or deciphering what was going on, although they never did any in my presence. But the talk was all around me.

My friends attended All Girls School, so they came out ready, while I went to a mixed school, so I was very mumuish. I was kind of popular (if that's the right word to use) in school, because of my Circle of friend. "Big girls", I never knew they were into all these, they knew I was a 'JEW' (remember that term? ) when you refuse to conform. They avoided me in that aspect, until one day, I was confronted by one girl , accusing me of snatching her girl friend. I innocently asked her why we couldn't all be close friends? Her responds was, I don't share. I still didn't understand, I then went to complain to a more senior person from their twon about the treatment I was getting from this girl. The lady asked me what I expected? When I was naively asking all the stupid questions, she realised I didn't know Jack about anything, she busted out laughing, called others to laugh at my mumuishness. She was the one who told me what it all was. How this one is paired with that one, like a thunderbolt, everything exploded in my head. Everything i saw in the past, but didn't connect started fixing up like a puzzle.
My friends got to know that I now knew, and tried to initiate me, but it was too late. I was to old and had I guy Jare. The one who accused me before, tried to make me smoke, because they started smoking openly in my presence. I really wondered how they could hide the smoking from me for long. Even wen I walked into them smoking, it was still a mistake. So, now, they needed me to become a partner. I refused. They started making jest of me. One of their boy friends who they smoked together rebuked them and told me never to let anyone make me do what I didnt want. That encouraged me. I never joined them. So you can imagine, my pain and frustration to see myself smoking cigarette in my dreams steadily, when I got saved.
For years, it happened. The worst part was, anytime my prayer life is very strong, thats when it happens frequently. I will wake up in the morning angry and upset. I prayed and prayed, It kept on happening. I become afraid to pray.

Another thing was, I was seeing myself in the dream naked. This troubled me the most. Thank God, I never had sex in my dream. I don't eat, I don't swim. Even if I cooked the food, I won't eat it. I don't know how I usually know, but, I tell myself in the dream, that I don't eat in the dream.
Most of the 10yrs of my incapacitation I lived a faster life. But this dreams kept happening. I almost felt depressed, that God wasn't hearing my prayers. How can I be fasting and smoking in my dream, the very reason for which I'm fasting? It was so devastating.

I wrote down what the Bible listed out as sins, and was checking my life, which I had over came, which I was struggling with. But I never came across smoking as a sin. But it still worried me.
Every night before I sleep, the lasting I say after prayer is, list out thing I don't do in my dream
I will call my name and say,
You don't eat in your dream,
You don't drink in your dream,
You don't make Love in your dream
You don't swim in your dream. In Jesus Name, Amen. God answered the prayer.
I don't know when He did it. I just wasn't dreaming any of the dreams again. I think it's been years. One day, I remembered that I use to smoke in my dream, but couldn't remember when it stopped.
My dear, keep praying. God knows you hate it. It will stop.
Praise God.

Thanks sis... i like you already. Your contributions and testimonies on this thread is simply refreshing. May God continue to bless u really good.

oyeludef:
sister relax, the devil has always been a liar from time immemorial. Stop the long fast and weneva the devil tries to wisper that u r not yet free, just speak out d word of God. You are translated from death to life and there is nothing the devil can do about it. Feed on the word of God and as it is the food for ur spirit remember the Bible say we should not live by bread alone but by d word of God. Fear brings torment and d devil nd demons recognizes wen u live in fear. No matter how long u pray, if d motivation is fear u will remain in d same position. Replace ur fear by declaring d word of faith cos without faith, its impossible to please God

Thanks bro... am really working on building my faith. devil is fighting a lost battle. Thank u so much
