Well, I'm not one to necessarily that falls for these things however, yes, I do believe we can open doors to outer darkness in our lives. One day me & my son who was 11 at the time were watching those shows about Paranormal. Now, personally, I don't fall for that stuff & didn't even then when we were watching it. I LOVE LOVE horror movies & it's never bothered me. I understand that it's just entertainment & people dressed up, etc. Well, the night Seth & I were watching that show, around 12 or so, our dog started barking & she would not shut up for anything. My husband went upstairs & she was just standing in the hall staring at a blank space & just barking away. He liked to never got her to stop & finally got her to come downstairs. Needless to say, I've not watched that show since. lol

I know that since there is GOD there are demons! they go hand in hand with eachother. But I just wonder if that can truely happen! I do notice that my kiddos do weird things in there sleep when I do watch those shows. And I know it says in the bible that you dont want to give glory to the enemy! So does that mean ignore the things you do notice or do you do something about it. I dont know why I find those shows interesting. Maybe bc it did truely happen to me. And I NEVER believed in that stuff before.  My so called "hauntings" caused me to sleep walk, I screamed for 10 min at a time in the middle of my sleep and my husband couldnt wake me up.. I even used to jump out of bed and run and wake up in the middle of running. My last straw was when something was grabbing my feet and ankles. I just wonder if your playing with fire just from watching those shows. Or do I attract those kinds of things because it has happend before? Its interesting. And it is definetly hard to fight what you cant see. and terrifying.

I wish I could help you more on this topic as far as watching those shows. I know I haven't watched the Paranormal anymore but still love my horror shows. It hasn't happened to me since or not that I know of.

Leviticus 20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Isaiah 8:19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?

Deuteronomy 18:10-13 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.

Leviticus 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Isaiah 8:19-20 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

I listened to an interview of a woman who had hundreds of demons inside of her before she was saved. In one point in the interview she said that the Lord told her that whatever we put inside our minds (i.e. watch, listen to), creates a soul tie with those things..  The title of the Youtube video is "How the woman with a thousand demons found freedom" (part 1 and 2)...

I'm kinda missing the point, but I think its worth mentioning... :)

Hi Katie, God bless you!

Personal opinion, if that was happening to my daughter, I wouldn't stand for it. I would stop watching the shows affecting her and stand very strong against it. And it's not good that it's happened to you too. Psalm 127:3 says that our children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord.

Truthfully, I have seen lots of phenomena some really scary stuff when I was a child. I'm not trying to make you feel bad. God bless you,  I'm trying to help you to see through my eyes what it's like for a little kid. As a child, I was scared out of my wits. A lot of it seems like a dream now, but I still remember all of that dream. Try to imagine how your children are feeling because it sounds like some sort of phenomena has happened to them. It's possible it's more than whispering and whimpering. You may not have seen all of it yet. Demons can be very sly.

Personal opinion, it's time to stop watching that kind of show and turn to godlier things. I'm sending lots of love and prayers your way.

Mary

Just watching is one thing, the reason you are watching is another.  We have been given Authority, in Jesus Name.  Sister, you have authority in Jesus over your household.  

I would seek out mature Christians, who understand things of The Spirit.  So many do not have the knowledge, even though they are mature.  

We are in a battle with the enemy all the time.  I again must ask you, what is the reason you are watching these things ?  Make no mistake I am not judging you, nor do I what you to feel attacked!!!   I have watched shows that  after awhile, The Spirit had told me too turn the channel.  I am spiritual, and I find things of The Spirit fascinating.  I am not judging you or anyone else.  What we must know is, just because what we are watching is spiritual.  By no means all things are not Godly.  

 33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. Matt 6:33

In this verse we find one of the first steps in, walking in The Spirit.  I am not looking down on you; not throwing stone at others who have certain abilities.  I have seen much harm come to people who, have talents that others cannot understand.  The truth about how doors are opened, most of the time, if not all the time is us.  We are curious.  We do not think there is any harm.  If we are hungry for things, there and things that will feed you.  Pray, Pray, Pray, Pray, the answer is in Him.  

My Sister I think you are brave to be this open.  I have been where you are before.  Forgive me I did not read all that you shared.  "We annointed our house and windows and said alot of prayer and it went away."  So you have done what you should have done.  Would not have shared so much, if I had read all that you shared.  I am Blessed and Praise God for what you have done.  I do trust I have answered at least in part your question.  

Things are out there.  All the enemy needs is a open mind; a dismissive mind of things as this, they will play with things, all the time saying. "I do not believe so no harm can come to me!" Many times famous last words.  The enemy needs our power to operate, and it knows how to get our power.  God forbids many things.  Our job is to obey.
