Nigerians and our "over spirituality" self. I experienced this so called pressing last 2yrs or so.

Tried different things, none worked.

Looked at it from the physical aspect. Googled it, read about it, took the steps mentioned and after 2days of waking up from it by following instructions I read.

It stopped totally when I applied the advice I read on various pages.


IT IS CALLED SLEEP PARALYSIS FINISH..

No demon they come press you... you be phone?

It means you are living in fear of demonic attacks

It also means that you are going through a bad season. You need to stop fighting for now because it's not yet your season to fight back. Guard your heart and keep your peace. And have fellowship with God. Also always command all spirits and attacks fashioned against you be turned around.

Hmm, I never knew you of all people could be a spiritual counsellor

far from it. this is not sleep paralysis. i am talking of suppress someone. science cannot explain this one oh. you have a dream demon is coming then when you tried to wake up.. you find out that something like electric all over the body and a heavy weight ontop of you.

Don't mind all these people using science to explain this. It is a pure witchcrraft attack meant to hinder one's progress or afflict someone.

Sleep paralysis is simply a term coined from the witchcraft world to keep their victims perpetually in bondage.
You should google sleep paralysis

What if I say, 'witchcraft pressing ' is a term coined by Africans to prevent them from seeking reasons and proferring solutions...

You may be right as well and that's why i asked a simply question... How do you explain having scratches all over your body after being pressed?

Bro explain scratching your self when you sleep with gloves and on a very soft bed. BTW I am not religious.

Bros do you know what that is? It's a sleep apnea machine. It's mine. When i used to have "spiritual suppression grin" and it would feel like someone was sitting on my chest, i did what any religious person who believed in god would do. I went to see a doctor cheesy. I was diagnosed with the ailment because my nasal pathways was blocked and they prescribed the machine for me to use. I used it for 3 years and now i sleep like a baby. And to answer your question; Anyone who thinks that his inability to sleep is due to witches and wizards will also believe anything that happens to him is due to witches and wizards. There is no changing that kind of person's mentality. Lol. You are not religious but can even contemplate to ask that question. Ok. grin

I've had this experience. You're awake but you can't move. You're aware but it's like you're being prevented from moving. You're struggling to breathe. These are some of the symptoms of sleep paralysis. There might be other symptoms but this is my experience.

Perhaps when you experience what I said you would understand better. This world is evil and if we don't pray there nothing God can do about it. He has given us the power

lolz yea let me ask you something....

who is the first cause of all things

you think your prayer is what moves God you also think God is moved by your prayers ......

do you know the greatest conversion in the Bible were never prayed for ?


oh you think you can move mountains with your prayer

who told you "if we don't pray there's nothing God can do??"

that's a big lie.... who prayed for the gospel .... who prayed for a Messiah ... who prayed before God created us?? who prayed for Abraham's conversion ? have you forgotten that Abraham was an idolater? does God answer sinners prayer

who prayed for Jacob to be loved and Esau hated ....
the modern Christian heresy is that you can pray mountains

tell me why Jesus's prayer that the cup pass over him wasn't granted .... he only resorted to God's will


bro GOD CAN DO WITHOUT PRAYERS

prayer is a means of grace ... not a mountain or will changing power

Bro...The heavy weight ure talking about is ''Sleep paralysis'' induced by hormones when ure avn a nightmare so you dont just wake up and start running thereby harming or hurting urself by hitting ur leg or head and as a result you feel paralysed or heavy to the extent that you cant move urself until ure fully awake and aware of ur environment. Is God not mighty?

what happens during sleep paralysis is dis....

you have a mechanism called REM-atonia.. dis shuts down your muscle movement n prevent ya body from doin wot u dreaming... dis mechanism shuts off wen u waking up....

during sleeping paralysis, dis mechanism failed to shut down while u wer wakin, thereby u wil experience wakefulness and no muscle movement.. but it lasts few seconds befor it rectifies itself.. u can experience multiple sleeping paralysis multiple times a night....

in short, wen ya REM-atonia surpases ya wakefulness, u wil xperience paralysis....

Is just a demon sitting on ur chest at that moment,in that state u are half awake and know fully what is happening around u.it happen to me a lot but I conquered my fear first,I fought the entity with my mind and prayer...I rem a particular day I was abt to be pressed down as usual, I got hold of my self immediately and slap the thing while sleeping,it slap me back and I felt the pain throughout that day at my right ear.

Pressing...Witchcraft pressing.... sleep paralysis...sleep apnea. .... different terms for the same thing... and I'm sure there are more terms in other languages or regions. Only a fool would say someone is dumb/ignorant/ backward if the person uses a different term than he.
No doubt...medical experts have said a mouthful about its causes and how to prevent it. Has any of this worked?...or are we just swallowing what they say? Those here who are 'civilised/educated'.....let us know how to immediately get out of the paralysis should we ever find ourselves in that situation.
Is it spiritual?..... always...always...should you call on the name of God...it stops immediately. Coincidence?...everytime? Over to the experts.
All what you need when in sleep paralysis activity is distraction to fully wake up(there are many technique), if you call on Jesus Christ or Muhammad or Allah or Satan or Santa Claus, you will surely wake because you have distracted yourself from sleep paralysis. If you have sleep paralysis just call on santa claus, it will work! smiley

There is nothing witch-craft about it, they were just Superstitions made up by ignorant troglodyte men in old days.

CuteMaro:

I remember one time, not quite long ago I started having the experience. At first I was scared, but because I was enlightened, I had the feeling that there must be an explanation so I googled it and behold I came across sleep paralysis. I read all I could about it and ever since then, I have never experienced it again. Mind you, before I used to pray, cast and bind anytime I experienced it before but it never stopped. It was not until the moment I knew what it was that it disappeared.

I have also come to realize that most people who call themselves born again these days live in so much fear. When they see cockroaches, bats or owls, even pussycats they bring out anointing oil and start sprinkling everywhere. I believe if you are born again, you are supposed to be free and fear less because the battle is not yours to be fought. Just try to be righteous, pray and do good.


I am not saying there are no dark forces or demons. They do exist, its not an illussion.
We are here to share and learn.....so what exactly did you do to stop the sleep paralysis? ...start sleeping with one eye open? ..still waiting to learn of a proven medical solution. On forces.... if you believe there is God...then you should also believe there is Satan/Devil/whatever name..... spiritually.... God is most powerful. ... then Satan ... then man...then the animals. Man can tap into Satan to launch 'spiritual attacks' on his fellow man....but if the target is close to God in faith.... such attacks would be automatically repelled. If he is not close...then he can experience pressing and the likes. ..but should he call on the name of God...then the attack immediately ends. When we pray...we should always ask for protection from evil. If you are atheist...then you are more vulnerable to such. About born again being superstitious.... and fearful of cats, dogs etc....that's how we discern ...not judge...discern the person is not born again ....just a church goer.

of course,, who am I to say otherwise?

I hope you get my point ...
prayer doesn't change God's eternal purposes
+) prayer is a means appointed by God.
+) God's power over you isn't dependent on prayer
+) Christians will pray cos it's important .... though not depend on it ... but on God

I have not experience sleep paralysis before, but distraction is the technique to fully wake up from sleep paralysis activity/episode.

Go YouTube and learn how to prevent sleep paralysis and how to get out of sleep paralysis activity.

You think a Muslim will call on Jesus when on sleep paralysis? Or an Indu will call on Jesus? Or Jews or Buddhist will call on Jesus? If I put my believe in santa Claus then Santa will surely help me during sleep paralysis.

Here's one of the method I found,

6. Lean into Love to Find Courage

Now is also the time to lean into unconditional love. For many, the surest path is in religious or spiritual beliefs. Regardless, focus on a figure that you admire and love. Think of someone who calms you down—someone who you associate with peace, love and safety. This could be Jesus, the Dali Lama, or someone you know personally.
In my first SP nightmare when I was fourteen years old, I thought about the love and respect I had for a girl in my class. Embarrassing but true! It worked: the feelings of oppression and evil dissipated immediately. In this case, true love really does conquer all.

This is the truth, pressing in the sleep or sleep pressing is true and real, some people are so spiritually oppressed by demonic forces to the extent that it affects their mortal bodies. If anyone is under such oppression, it's easy to get out
(1) be genuinely born again
(2) engage in soul winning
(3) be attach to a service in church
(4) pray kingdom advancement prayers
(5) speak positively always and meditate on the word of God
Thank you!

good fellas I can say it a thousand times it cannot be fully explained. it's beyond human level. sleep paralysis or whatever you call it is a child's play compared to this. in fact some people die in their sleep from these attacks. This is purely demonic. Don't joke with it seek help in Christ. Which is the only way out. It has no respect for anyone on a lesser spiritual level when it strikes.

Only Jesus can save you from such oppression because He's the head of all principalities, witchcraft, demons and every other satanic power at work in this world. Colossians 2:10. So, when ever it happens call on His name and you will see the Victory He'll give you. I am a testimony to it.
The reason why atheist don't experience this is because they are already on the side of the devil as a result, a house not divided against itself can't fight each or one another.
