Breaking the Silence on Night Terrors and Demonic Attacks
Problem: Mainstream Christianity rarely addresses the reality of supernatural attacks, leaving those afflicted feeling rejected, alone, and without support. When the church goes silent, the spiritually hungry flock to alternative (and dangerous) new-age solutions, drawn by their openness to the supernatural—even as these solutions ultimately enslave rather than deliver.
Agitation: I’ve walked this road myself—haunted by demonic encounters, suffocation, and torment in the night. For years, my family wrote it off as simple nightmares, and the church offered no help. Like many, I was driven outside biblical Christianity, desperate for relief and guidance.
Solution Preview: This post is your rally point. We’re digging deep into how Jesus, working through spiritual principles and prophetic revelation, holds the key to freedom from night terrors and demonic oppression. You will find expanded teachings, biblical truth, practical steps, and personal encouragement. You’re not alone... and you can be delivered.
Main Message: The Supernatural is Real, and Jesus is the Solution
Why Most Churches Won’t Talk About It
The mainstream church, by and large, shies away from all things supernatural. Polls suggest only about 25–30% of people even admit to unexplainable encounters. For the rest, anyone with a supernatural testimony is crazy. The result? The church dismisses or sweeps under the rug demonic activity, night terrors, and prophetic experiences—leaving a generation spiritually malnourished.
Those suffering with night terrors feel isolated. I’ve been there—tormented for years, dismissed by family and church alike. The etymology of "nightmare" speaks volumes: in the late 13th century, it referred to an evil spirit that suffocated sleepers. The experience of suffocation, paralysis, and terror is nothing new... it’s the ancient battle between demonic forces and the children of God. But the church’s silence has driven many into new-age religions that embrace the supernatural—but with deceptive answers.
Personal Testimony: From Torment to Truth in Jesus
If you read my book, Open Your Eyes: My Supernatural Journey, you’ll know these attacks haunted me for years before I met Jesus. The church provided no guidance—I felt rejected, struggled alone, and only found hope after seeking answers for myself. Eventually, that quest led me to a radical encounter with the living Jesus, who truly set me free.
Desperate for relief, I explored new-age practices, thinking Christianity was powerless against the supernatural. Yet in time, I discovered their promises were empty—and often demonic. That’s why I wrote my book as a bait-and-switch for new-agers, hoping to draw them to the truth of Christ.
Biblical References and Spiritual Teaching: Deliverance Through Diligent Faith
Scriptural Reasons and Keys to Freedom
If you’re plagued by night terrors or supernatural attacks, there is a reason. Scripture and the Holy Spirit will reveal why. There’s always an open door—a legal entry point the enemy exploits. But, crucially, there is victory in Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
- Diligence is required. Deliverance usually isn’t passive—it requires persistent seeking, like the woman with the issue of blood (Luke 8:43–48). She pressed through the crowd, spent all she had, and with unwavering faith, she touched Jesus’ garment for healing. You must pursue Jesus with the same determination.
- Counterfeits abound. Plenty of slick teachers, "spiritual advisors," and new-age gurus will offer solutions—for a price. But their answers are ultimately demonic counterfeits that ensnare and deceive. Christ alone delivers genuine freedom.
Key Scripture Meditations for Deliverance
- Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Matthew 7:7 KJV).
- But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6 KJV).
- If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him (James 1:5 KJV).
- My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me (John 10:27 KJV).
- Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21 KJV).
- Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come (John 16:13 KJV).
Notice the supernatural thread—the necessity not only of belief and prayer, but of actively partnering with the Spirit of God in faith, fasting, and obedience. Easy prayers won’t cut it for deep-rooted supernatural problems; spiritual warfare demands spiritual tenacity.
How Faith Operates: More Than Lip Service
True faith isn’t just mental assent—it’s belief with action. James lays it out plainly:
- Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone (James 2:17 KJV).
- If the word of God is alive in us, fruit will follow. Jesus said, "Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46 KJV). Believing Jesus requires acting on his words—seeking him, obeying, and persevering through adversity.
Mere religious habits or confiding in others won’t suffice. Paul’s own journey shows how expert mentorship and religious scholarship, without the Spirit, can lead to spiritual blindness. Only an encounter with Christ turns information into living revelation.
Personal Reflections: Why This Matters and What I’ve Learned
I’ve been through the wringer with night terrors and supernatural attacks. For years, I was tormented by entities that paralyzed, suffocated, and harassed me—experiences chronicled in my book. The church’s silence left me grasping for answers anywhere I could find them. Eventually, desperation forced me to seek Jesus with diligence, faith, and an unrelenting hunger. Only through persistent pursuit did deliverance finally come.
I want you to know: every struggle is an invitation to deeper relationship with Jesus. The spiritual realm is real, and believers must become "diligent seekers" if we hope to walk in supernatural freedom.
Practical Takeaways from Years of Spiritual Warfare
- Supernatural attacks aren’t rare—they’re just rarely admitted. If you’re suffering, you are not alone. Thousands battle in silence, afraid of being labeled crazy or unspiritual.
- The enemy exploits ignorance and open doors. Spiritual affliction often enters through unaddressed sin, occult involvement, generational strongholds, or unforgiveness. Self-examination and repentance are vital steps.
- Deliverance is attainable—but usually requires persistence. Like the woman with the issue of blood, breakthrough comes via relentless seeking, prayer, fasting, and obedience.
- Don’t be seduced by counterfeits. The new-age promises relief but leads to deeper bondage. The answer is (and always will be) found in the biblical Jesus.
- Build faith through Scripture and Spirit-led prayer. Meditate on key verses, ask God for wisdom and revelation, and trust him to guide you into freedom.

Jesus Confronts Darkness with Power
- If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36 KJV).
- And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues... they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (Mark 16:17-18 KJV).
- And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony (Revelation 12:11 KJV).
- But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel (Psalm 22:3 KJV).
- Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2 KJV).
- For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12 KJV).
- If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:31–32 KJV).
Key truths: Deliverance and healing are normal Christianity. Testimony defeats shame and exposes the enemy. Worship invites the King and drives out darkness. True freedom comes not from mere information, but abiding, obeying, and encountering Jesus in Spirit and truth.
