Whispering Parasites

I read a science fiction novel, where there were these creature that fed off your emotions. They were empathetic; they felt what you felt, and intensified it, then sent it back to you. So when you were afraid around them, they made it seem ten times worse. The creatures had been made to be a help to people, but kept wanting more and more emotion and became a terror.

This is much like how demons are. Demons are parasites. They attach themselves to people, and sometimes objects, so that they can feed off the energy. Like the creatures from the story, they are so addicted to the energy that they instigate events in order to cause you to emote, to give off the energy that feeds them. But most of all, their goal is to turn you away from Yahweh. This, more then anything, is why they torment us. Because Satan wants to usurp God. That’s why he was cast out. He continues in that goal still, and that’s what we must guard against.

Most often, demons simply use your circumstances to their advantage. The enemy prefers to work anonymously, so they try to use what is already there.

So when you get in trouble at work, they whisper in you ear ugly things. “Your boss just hates you. You shouldn’t even try. they’re just using you. Why would you expect better for yourself?”

Or when you’re rejected by someone. “Well, you’re ugly, Why the hell would they want you? You’re chubby, people don’t honestly think you’re pretty. You talk too much/too little. You dress like a hobo. You’re not feminine/masculine. You’re too stupid, too naïve, they don’t want to babysit you. You’re too smart, who wants to put up with a know-it-all? You’re too innocent/ too ‘Well-traveled’.”

All these things are lies from the enemy. They tell you things to make you feel left out, alone, and worthless. because when you’re alone and broken, you’re not a threat.

When you start to hear or feel these things, tell them to shut up. Rebuke them, in the name of Yeshua. Ask you angel to keep them away(yes, I believe we do have angels). And if they still wont go away, here’s a little trick a pastor friend told me:

As followers of god, we have Yeshua- Jesus- in our hearts. And he’s the most perfect person in the universe. So that mean we can’t possibly be that bad. So when the enemy tell you, “You’re ugly and worthless.” Turn and ask, “Hey Yeshua, are you ugly and worthless?” and see what the answer is.

because if we are reflections of him, if he shines through us, then we are perfect. We are handsome, precious and one of a kind creations, made to do something specific, that no one else can.

So that’s the protection tip for today. When that little voice in the back of your head says you’re not good enough, ask Yeshua if its true, then tell the voice to go take a flying leap, ‘cause he’s got nothing on you.
