Symptoms of Spiritual Oppression
Back Up Next


Most of these symptoms are not proof of occult oppression since there are other reasons for these conditions.  Several of these symptoms together increase the probability of occult oppression being the cause.  Divine guidance is essential to making a certain diagnosis.

Compulsive Thoughts
Extremely low self-esteem (unworthy, a failure, no good)
Constant confusion in thinking
Inability to believe, even when the person wants to
Mocking and blasphemous thoughts toward preaching / teaching the Word of God

Extreme sleepiness around spiritual things
Demonstration of extraordinary abilities (like E.S.P. or telekinesis)
Voices heard in the mind (they mock, intimidate, accuse, threaten or bargain)
The subject speaks of himself or herself in the third person or in the plural
Supernatural experiences around him or herself like hauntings, moving of objects, knocking, etc.
Abnormal Medical Problems
Seizures (too long or too regular)
Pain without any explanation, especially in head or stomach
Blackouts
Physical ailments that may be immediately alleviated by command

If you have out-of-character thoughts, feelings, fantasies or obsessions and nothing traumatic has happened when they began, this is a clear indication of another personality in your soul.  It is worth doing a general deliverance to see if that resolves it.  See if you might have gotten yourself in occult situations that could have brought something in.  You might have been involved in occult things in the past that left a back door open to your soul, even if you no longer do them.  If so, you may need to do a self-deliverance for that activity. 

If your ancestors were involved in the occult, you would have inherited those demons through no action on your part.  But they are yours now.  Use the above pages to get yourself clean.

If an occult group is targeting you with regular demonic attacks, they need deliverance, prayer and blessing to stop them.  You don't need to know their names to dispatch the angels to deal with them.
