Also, when they are not protected by prayer, by other believers around them. It sounds very much like you are out of control when this happens. Physiciatrists can help with counseling, and medication. However, the bible offers deliverance from this type of attack. It does indeed sound like a spiritual problem. You need to be in the fellowship of other Christians, that understand how the enemy works. If you can find a Spirit filled church nearby, they should be able to help you. Christians have the power over the enemy, however, according to the bible there are steps to follow to get free and stay free, and this is a process, and you need ones to support you that can help you to understand what you need to do. You can also find out about deliverance on the internet, by typing in Deliverance Ministries. However, I would personally recommend Lake Hamilton Bible Camp, in Hot Springs Ark. They have a website, and much literature available to help you understand this better. You can contact them thru email, or call them. I would seriously advise you to do this asap, because of the violent nature of what you are dealing with. (according to what you said) Also, I have heard that some medications ( mostly anti-depressants or psycotics I think) can actually cause this in some individuals. If you are on any medications, start with your Dr. first. Contact him asap. Also if you have quit taking meds. of this sort, can also trigger something like this. Bi- Polar could also be involved. Seek out the help you need, this is not something you can handle on your own. Situations are continually in the news, concerning violent episodes, and help is availble, now, before your self control weakens too much. I will be praying for you, to find a way to be free of this, and that nothing will happen that you are not able to control, in the mean time. God be with you. silverwings Thu, 25 Sep 2008 08:54:17 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/i_think_i_might_have_a_demon_in_me 550067 It has always been my opinion, that one of the main ideas behind the constitution, is the right to religious freedom, and the fact that all men were created equal, Is that not right? silverwings Mon, 01 Sep 2008 19:02:55 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/in_your_learned_opinion 512911 religionisgood ... you say : Weather patterns are the result of local and regional geography, climate, and atmospheric physics. God has nothing to do with it. Human activity can influence weather patterns, but does not control them. The Bible is not a source of meteorological or climatological data and should not be treated as such My Question is : Who created the law of physics? silverwings Mon, 01 Sep 2008 18:08:17 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/does_anyone_control_the_weather 512799 Was the Constitution designed to protect the church from the state, or the state, from the church? silverwings Mon, 01 Sep 2008 17:57:27 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/in_your_learned_opinion 512781 religionisgood ...thank you for your opinion, however, I was seeking an answer from believers. You are welcome add your opinion, but, that is not what I was looking for. And by the way, if you are against religion... why does your name say it is good? Just being curious, thats all. I see that you do not believe that the bible is the word of God, nor that it is even true, by your response. In fact, not only that it is not true, but, it is pure fiction... kinda like Superman, the Easter bunny, The Fairy Godmother, Grimms book of fairy tales, Harry Potter, etc. right? Lets see, to answer your question : Did you ever wonder why, in Genesis 1:6, all of the sudden God wants there to be an expanse in the midst of the 'waters'? Well now, I think I can answer that for you. How on earth is he going to establish this planet and all that is on it, without, first making an expanse in the midst of the waters? You also say: The ancients did not see the universe the way we do today, as an enormous empty space with stars By ancients.. being who? The bible gives the account of the three wise men, being guided to where Jesus was, by the stars. also, you say: The Genesis account reflects this view. God parts these waters in order to create the earth and the firmament. And did you really think the earth could exist with vegetation and plant life prior to the creation of the sun and moon and the system of revolution and rotation? I don't see what the problem is, he created the plants and vegetation, in Gen. chapter one, vs. 11 & 12, vs 13 he said there was morning and evening, vs 14 says that he created the sun the moon and the stars, mentioned in vs 16-19. I guess you would rather him have created the sun, moon and stars, in vs. 11-12, and the plants and vegetation in vs. 16-19. Is that right? You say: The Genesis account is figurative. It's fiction. So, you disbelieve the whole bible, because of vs 11-12 and vs 13-19 right? and the fact that you believe they should be reversed, right? Then you say: Why in the world would an omnipotent God need to rest after doing anything? Did you ever think of the fact that God speaks in word pictures, that we can understand? He has great meaning behind that day of rest. And to explain that, it would take many more pages. I asked that question, so, the answers will come up soon. silverwings Mon, 01 Sep 2008 17:11:00 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_did_god_rest_on_the_7th_day 512695 slapintheface87 ...thanks to you as well.

Right? Who created morality? Where did it come from ? When did it start? The evolutionists say we evolved... from cavemen, so, I guess you are going to say that morality evolved... right? Ok.. so it evolved... why are the conditions much worse now, than they were when I was growing up? Is evolution going backwards? silverwings Mon, 01 Sep 2008 15:41:24 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_part_did_religion_spirituality 512496 arachnid ... thank you very much for answering my question.. however, it is still mumbo jumbo to me.

And lets see... now... trashing the Christian reputation, how did I do that??? :( even further... :( What happened to it to begin with ??? Is this a play on words??? Or what is going on here???

I agree totally... :) Freedom to choose. God gave it, I defend it. However, how is stating an opinion... :) Shoving it down ones throat, as the world is sooo fond of saying ? :) Can't we have a discussion here? Are you afraid of what Christians have to say? Must you try and silence them? Do you not have approaite answers... other than this? :) silverwings Mon, 01 Sep 2008 11:42:59 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_come_127150 512139 pickles 15... You say: And nobody should be put down because of there beliefs. :) Hey... I agree totally... 100% BUT... DOES THAT ACTUALLY TRANSLATE TO THIS: Christians must shut up... for I do not want to hear what they have to say. They do not have a right to their opinion. Because that might cause me to wonder. So, I say, they need to shut up now. So that my conscience is not pricked. So, that I do not have to wonder. So, that I do not have to hear what they have to say. IN OTHER WORDS... This translates into... My rights over their rights... and I have the right... to not hear what they say... even though they are posting approaitely to a forum, that is completely applicable to the topic that they are posting on. uh.. excuse me...:( But, in my opinion... that translates... into: Religious persecution. It also, goes against the Constitution of the United States of America. Of which I live, and am posting from. Religious Freedom... remember? :) From persecution... EXACTLY WHAT THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED UPON... over 200 years ago... Now... do tell.. who is wrong? silverwings Mon, 01 Sep 2008 11:38:33 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/how_come_127150 512134 born to write...

So, why would it not apply? Does not our way of thinking, affect the way we conduct our lives? On every plane. Or... are we supposed to confine ourselves... to Sunday School... only? Are not the ways of God, supposed to influence the ways of the world???

What is it about my use of the Period... not the comma... that gets under some peoples skins??? I like it. It brings my point home.. .since, I am not there with you, in person, and you cannot hear the nuances... I use in my speach... :) So, in trying to make my point... why can't I use the Comma... this way ?? :) :) What is it hurting??? Why does it bother u??? Do you also not like to see someone who uses gestures... as they talk??? :) Hey... if we want to get down and personal about it... What about your use of my Fathers name.. inapropriately??? That is actually breaking one of the ten commandments... or did you know??? I would think that they are of much morfe importance, than, the law of grammer. Oh, and another thing... you just broke another of Gods laws... by swearing by Christ. We are not to swear by anything, on heaven or beneath the heavens. Let our yes be yes, and our no be no.
