Hello Top Blue:
One thing I noticed is that you had the freedom to write your blog, write this post, and to choose goodness over negativity. This tells me that whatever it is that ails you, it hasn't been able to take over your mind.
I've had a lot of experience making contact with spirits. Mostly my spirit guidance. I've found out in so many ways that unfriendly spirits don't have the ability to cause us to act against our will. The only way they can gain control us is if we hand them the key.
Are you certain that aspects of your own mind aren't troubling you? One reason I ask this is because I doubt that an unfriendly spirit could pretend to be God and Christ. Another reason is that you've asked for help. If some unfriendly spirits were troubling you, I believe you would've received help by now. Another reason is that going by what I've found, people are much more likely to be troubled by aspects of their own mind, than an unfriendly spirit.
Please don't underestimate the power of our minds to create all kinds of aspects. If we believe in something strongly enough, we might end up creating it. I've done so, and when I stopped believing in what I created my problem went away. Bruce Moen wrote a Banshee story in one of his books. Every night throughout the night a man would be troubled by a demonic being, referred to as a Banshee. Bruce found that this man created this Banshee with his own mind.
Try to get a clue about what is happening for you by paying attention to your dreams. I've found that my higher self/spirit guidance will sometimes create dreams where the different people within the dream represent different aspects of my mind. I have a couple of friends who are twin brothers. If one of these twins appear within my dream, they do so in order to let me know that the different people within my dream represent different aspects of myself (as in "Twin aspects"). You might check to see if you have a dream with a twin you know. Going by the other people who appear in the dream, you might receive a clue as to what precisely the unfriendly beings you experience actually are.
Have you ever really thought about what a demon could be? Some people believe they are created by satan. I put a lot of effort into trying to find out if the Bible supports the concept of satan, and despite the frequent usage of the name "satan" it doesn't. For one thing, initially the old testament didn't use the word satan. It used the word adversary. The word would be used for different reasons. Sometimes it would used for symbolic reasons, as it was used in the book of Job. According to the book of Job satan traveled to heaven and told God that there isn't one person who fears God. God said that Job does, and supposedly allowed satan to do all kinds of terrible things to Job and kill many of the people Job knew, just so he could prove to satan that there is one man who fears him. I believe this story doesn't make sense for several reasons. For one thing, there is no way that God would feel inclined to prove something to a satan like being. Two, even if God did so for whatever reason feel inclined to prove such a thing, he wouldn't allow satan to do the terrible things he supposedly did in order to do so. Third, being able to move to higher realms is a matter of a being's energetic state being at a high level, and there is no way a satan like being could travel to heaven and speak to God. Four, the story speaks of God as if he is some sort of old man in the sky, rather than a being who exists everywhere, as he manifests as many beings, including the beings who are supposedly evil. Even if the story is true, it is important to notice that satan was able to do what he did only after God gave him the permission to do so. This differs greatly with the notion of demons who trouble people without permission.
There is another explanation for the usage of the Word adversary. Back during the days of the old testament, the leaders of the time would tell people that God was on their side. When things didn't go their way, people wondered why God allowed this to happen. To appease these people the leaders told people that an evil being, adversary, caused them to have problems. As I stated earlier, during later translations "adversary" was changed to satan.
Some people believe the book of Isiah speaks of the origin of satan, because it speaks of a fallen angel named Lucifer. The fact of the matter is that the original book of Isiah did not speak of a fallen angel. It spoke of a fallen king of Babylonia. A physical person. More than 800 years later the book of Isiah was retranslated so that fallen angel language was added. My guess is that if a fallen angel was really involved, such words would've been a part of the book of Isiah when it was initially written.
It doesn't make sense to me that an angel could fall. Spirits become negative when they are exposed to negative influences, as takes place in this World. What kind of negative influences would an angel in heaven be exposed to? Even if one did fall, because it turned away from love, it would've weakened its connection to God, and lost most of its spiritual power. Any person who chooses to live according to love and other positive qualities would vibrate at a higher level and be more powerful.
Some say the Book of Revelations states where satan comes from when it speaks of the seven headed dragon. Christians were going through a lot of problems when the book of revelations was written. In order to address this problem, while a prisoner on an Island, John wrote a very symbolic letter to the Christians who existed during this time period. He wrote it in a symbolic way with the hope that the Romans couldn't translate it. The seven heads of the dragon symbolized seven hills in Rome.
If aspects of your mind are responsible for what you experience, you can bring them to an end by not believing in whatever it is that causes them to be.
I'm not saying that there aren't any unfriendly spirits at all. Going by what I've found the unfriendly spirits that exist are former human spirits who are in a confused state and haven't moved on to the light. They aren't more powerful than you. There might even be some unfriendly aliens, but they don't have anything to do with satan based mythology.
There is a lady who visits this forum on occasion who goes by the name of Kathy (Lights of Love). She has been able to see auras for years. She told me that she has never scene a spirit attached to a person. She said that sometimes people believe in something so strongly, they create an aspect of mind that seems to be a seperate entity. I know this contradicts what other people say, but it is worth considering.
I've read a number of possession stories, and in most cases it seemed very possible that aspects of a person's mind were responsible. One thing I noticed is that a supposed possessed person would be very responsive to the method an exorcist used. If an exorcist expected a lot of manifestations from the supposed possessed person such as throwing up, the person would do so. If the exorcist expected the person to not have negative outward manifestations as the exorcism took place, they wouldn't occur. When suggestion plays such a big role, one might consider why.
Whatever the case, things are divinely set up so that we have the power. Especially when we have good intentions and want to live according to love.
