Have you ever felt like an unseen force is pulling you down? Like bad luck follows you around every corner? You might be wondering if the Devil’s at work. Now, before you grab a pitchfork and head for the nearest occult bookstore, let’s take a step back.
Johnston Publications has been a trusted source of biblical knowledge for decades. We offer a wide range of books that explore the power of faith and the positive influence it can have on your life. But sometimes, the Bible also touches on the concept of negativity and how it can impact us.
Here’s the thing: the Bible doesn’t talk about demonic possession in the way movies portray it. Instead, it focuses on how negative forces, like doubt, fear, and temptation, can hold us back from living our best lives.
So, how do you know if these negative forces are messing with you? Here are a few signs of devil possession to watch out for:
1. You’re Constantly Dwelling on the Negative
Life throws curveballs. But if you find yourself constantly focusing on the bad stuff, dwelling on past mistakes, or always expecting the worst, it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It’s like negativity attracts negativity. The Bible offers countless parables about the importance of a positive outlook. For example, the story of the seeds sown on different soils (Matthew 13:1-23) teaches us that our mindset can influence the outcome of our endeavors.
2. You Feel Powerless Over Your Decisions
Do you ever feel like you’re on autopilot, making choices you don’t truly want to make? This can be a sign that fear or doubt is holding you back. The Bible emphasizes the importance of free will and making conscious choices that align with your values. The book of Joshua, for instance, is filled with stories about overcoming fear and taking decisive action.
3. You are Easily Tempted
We all face temptation. But if you find yourself constantly giving in to unhealthy habits or behaviors that go against your morals, it can be a sign that something deeper is going on. The Bible offers guidance on resisting temptation and living a virtuous life. The story of Joseph (Genesis 39) is a powerful example of how to resist temptation and stay true to your values.
4. You have Lost Hope or Faith in Yourself
Feeling hopeless or like you can’t overcome challenges is a major roadblock. The Bible is filled with stories of resilience and overcoming adversity. It reminds us that we have the strength to overcome challenges, with a little faith and determination. The Book of Job is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to endure suffering and emerge stronger.
5. You are Constantly Surrounded by Drama
Do you seem to attract toxic people or situations filled with negativity? It might be time to consider who you’re letting into your life. The Bible emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with positive influences. The book of spiritual perception on choosing good companions and avoiding those who will lead you astray.
