PARA #23: In the Hands of Demons
Dark forces seem to control every aspect of some people's lives, from their thoughts and actions to their sleep patterns, but freedom is possible through faith and spiritual deliverance. Norma's powerful testimony demonstrates how someone can move from torment to peace.
• Paranormal experiences like nightmares, sleep paralysis, and hearing voices are real spiritual phenomena
• Evil spirits can manifest as shadows, voices (like "Peter"), and physical sensations
• Sleep disruption at 3 am and feeling unable to move or scream are common signs of a spiritual attack
• Many suffer in silence because others tell them "they're crazy" or don't believe their experiences
• Complete deliverance is possible and can happen quickly with proper spiritual intervention
• The Holy Spirit provides lasting protection against demonic attacks

Speaker 2:Paranormal Activity Series. Hi there Once again. Together with this paranormal activity, the paranormal experiences, and today I want to talk to those who feel like they are in the hands of the demons 24-7. It is like you do not do what you want, you do not act on your own the evil spirits. They are always telling you what to do, what to say, how to act, how to respond. They control you. Today we are going to watch the story of this late Norman, because she used to sleep with evil and she lived in suffering. She didn't like to be alone. She was under severe spiritual attacks. I have some hands to show to you over there. She was in the hands of the demons. They were controlling her. Like when a person has nightmare, you cannot control yourself, you cannot move, you have these bad dreams, you have no peace to sleep during the night. I want to show to you right now what terror of the night is all about, what nightmare is all about, right here in this screen, the screen for the truth.
Speaker 3:Every night I wake up screaming because of the constant nightmares. It's 3 in the morning and I still can't get any rest. I have no peace. I feel exhausted, but still I can't get any sleep. I see their eyes when it's dark. It's like they're coming after me. Every person I try to explain it to thinks I'm going crazy. But I know what I saw.
Speaker 4:When I'm alone in my office.
Speaker 3:I feel like something is crawling underneath my skin. I'm terrified of taking the freeway. I always see myself getting into a horrible accident. I'm awake but I cannot move. My mouth is open but I can't scream. It's like I'm trapped inside of my own body.
Speaker 4:Last night I was home cooking and all of a sudden I hear the TV go off in the living room, but there's no one here with me. I live alone.
Speaker 3:Sometimes I wake up with these weird marks on my body. It's like something is crawling on my skin. Me. I live alone. Sometimes I wake up with these weird marks on my body. It's like something is crawling on my skin, but I live alone. I don't even have pets or people sleeping over. Everyone tells me I'm freaking out, but they don't know how much I'm afraid to be in the dark. I'm in constant terror. My heart races and it's like there's no one there to help me.
Speaker 4:I don't want to do what Peter tells me, but he hurts me when.
Speaker 3:I don't. My parents don't believe me when I tell them Peter made me do it.
Speaker 4:They keep telling me that he doesn't exist, but I see him every day.
Speaker 2:I see him every day. Peter is a demon. He's not the name of a person who is Peter. Peter is a demon that use, that perform, take the form of a child that has name. Maybe, since you were a kid, you hear this Peter talking to you. You hear this girl laughing, telling you what to do. I believe there are people in prison. They killed someone because there was a voice telling do it, do it. Even gave you the knife, the gun for you to shoot, for you to stab somebody. And yes, there was a voice.
Speaker 2:The scripture says over there you shall not fear the terror of the night. This is the well-known Psalms 9 to 1. You shall not fear the terror of the night. That's why we are going to pray together right here after the story of Norman. You are going to watch his story, if you have this problem. You see these figures, scary faces, like you are alone in the house, but you see over there this black shadow yes, black shadow that moves. You have this sleep paralysis, like a monster that comes during the night to visit you. I'll be back to pray. You are going to be set free. Let us go to the story of Norman and we are going to be back.
Speaker 4:We are going to be back. I was suffering with spiritual attacks, severe spiritual attacks. My life was devastated. The evil spirit. They used to torment me at night. Every night I go to sleep and they used to come on my bed and pressing me down, choking me. I used to like shouting, but the voice is not coming out clearly and I used to like fight myself to wake up, but I never used to be like in a deep sleep. I used to be like in sleep and wake. That I can know and I could feel when these things happening, choking me, strangling me and make me be really, really like afraid. Sometimes I hear voices and I hear footsteps and when I turn around, no one. I see shadows sometimes. And even in the day when I go to take like a nap, these things used to happen to me even in the daytime. They used to bring like thoughts, like suicidal thoughts. I was thinking like killing myself, jumping over a bridge. In the night, when I like to sleep, I always think about doing that, but in the morning I change my mind and I wake up.
Speaker 4:I was very lonely. I used to get angry very quickly and I used to like like I cannot like stay alone in the house. I used to have the cars and I use to drink beer too. I was looking at a TV program and then I called a number and when I called the person that answered they invited me to come to church. So I asked them which day is the best day to come and they said Friday, the first day I came to the church. My first impression is like you know what I'm going? Anything that is inside of me, what is inside of me that is tormenting me, whatever it is, I don't care what happened to me, that these things must have to leave. I was not afraid. I make the chain of prayers. He said make a chain of prayer, don't break a chain of prayer. The chain of prayers, a series of prayers with no interruption. And then I started to go on Sunday and after Sunday I joined into groups and then eventually I started going every single day to church. After work, church, I started going and I continue going every single day. I never, never, ever. Until today I never get those spiritual attacks again, never, never, never. The suicidal thoughts I used to get disappear.
Speaker 4:And then the pastor used to say, after the deliverance service on Friday, he used to say that those who want to receive the Holy Spirit an hour after you could stay back. Stay back and then he will keep the Holy Spirit service. And I always used to stay back because I had wanted to receive the Holy Spirit and I used to seek, seek, seek and one Friday evening, as I was seeking, I received the Holy Spirit. And I received the Holy Spirit. It's like I could just like praise in God and don't stop, like you know, thanking Him, and I was like, oh my God, this is the best thing ever happened to me in my life. I have peace, I have the courage to go to church. I just want to like be in the presence of God, I want to be in the house of God. I want to do more for God. There's a way out for you. Our Lord Jesus is the solution for every problem and I want to tell you that you must come to Jesus and you will receive life.
Speaker 2:She said it all Come to Jesus, you are going to receive life. This is what we are going to do right now. I will pray for you One more time. You shall not fear the terror of the night Over there, please. You are going to pray together with me. You are going to raise your hands right now. This is the prayer for deliverance. I'm going to stand now, can I? You are going to raise your hands. You are going to raise both your hands right now. That is the prayer that we prayed for Mrs Norman, this lady over here. Pray for deliverance. She was in the hands of the demons. You are going to raise your hands and we are going to take off the hands of the demons from your life. Raise your hands, close your eyes In the name of Jesus. O Lord, right now, I bless their hands and when they lay hands upon themselves, the hands of the demons will be removed from their lives. Amen. Now place your hands upon your head, upon your head, the top of your head, and close your eyes.
Speaker 2:The spirit of witchcraft, the spirit that is upon the life of this person, tormenting. She cannot sleep well. She sleeps with the spiritual husband, she hears noises, the bed moves. There is this demon called Peter that talks to this person. There is these demons, the hands of the demons upon this person, causing diseases, causing evil to happen. I rebuke you right now, evil spirit. Now you open your eyes and say together with me. Now you open your eyes and say together with me in Jesus' name, say that strong, in Jesus' name, all evil, take off your hands and say get out right now and never, ever return Over there, breathe in and out, amen. You are free by the power of God. You are free.
