 I think I used to have some of the same problems. It may be as Dr. Phil said (an emotional "tug-of-war"), mine was a tug-of-war of good vs. bad. I used to have strong nightmares as a young adult and believe that I've actually had a nightmare or two (with my eyes wide open). I have most recently (since 1988) lived in an older home (built in 1900) that on occasions, would allow me the privilege of a female apparition in the wee hours. (I've been asked to refrain from talking about such things with visiting company). All that aside... I must have found a cure. The apparitions stopped and rarely do I have nightmares anymore and if I do, I usually come out the winner. I may have missed part of the show but I didn't hear the word "Devil" brought up, was the discussion leaning toward "possession"? Not many people admit that they believe in a "dark side" but, in fact, do. In many cases simply because it may open up a conversation on religion if they professed an actual fear of demons or curses, bad Karma or whatever (and who wants to go down that road)! I never understood why (even though I'd been looking for signs) I could always find evil in this world (the works of which are always more easily recognized) but could hardly ever find good in all the bad I was seeing. You "do" believe that "what goes up must come down", don't you? Then you would probably believe the opposite of bad is good. If you think you may have sided or have been selected for the "bad" side or that you somehow ended up on the wrong team, you just need to change the team you're on. You don't have to be the best hitter in the ballpark to change teams, you just simply have to want to play. You wont need a resume either. Just make the decision to be on the other (good) team and "you're in" and believe me when I tell you, good always wins over bad. Good created bad. You can't have bad unless you had good first. Good is a million times bigger and stronger than bad. If you believe in good without having to understand fully how it good works and trust that no matter what it "just works", it will and your problems will be over. I've had to make a commitment to myself to remembering I'm on the good side now. Simply put, that's what cured me. No longer afraid of nightmares, no longer afraid of anything. If bad wants to possess me, it's going to have to get through good first. ...and if you're still wondering "what in the world is he talking about", simply take one "o" out of every single "good" in this message.

Quote From: ga1960 As I was growing up, my sister that was 19 years my elder, always said I was worthless and she would make me pay someday. She had such evil in her eyes that it was like she was putting a curse on me. She never accepted my birth to my parents late in life at the ages of 40 and 44. She always said I took them away from her time. To make a long story short, she was a horrible and truly hateful person. No matter what good things I did she would always mastermind a scam to convince others I wasn't a good person. I always tried to be good to people and I had alot of great friends that also noticed her evil ways. She even told my husband (before we were married) that he was too good for me and I didn't deserve him. I never had a chance with her. She especially lost it after the birth of my son, since she had 4 girls. She wouldn't talk to me and behind my back, she would tell people in our community how we didn't want a son. So, needless to say we lost contact with her. After many years of loneliness, she passed away last year at age 63, leaving 4 beautiful grown daughters, 8 grandchildren and 3 ex-husbands, that she always belittled as well. Since then, my family has had many hardships and heartaches and I truly believe it's her watching over us, making me pay and my son to deal with many problems as well. There are just too many coincidences that have occurred for us not to believe she has cursed our lives. Our life without her was very normal until the day of her death? I have also had reoccurring nightmares as well. As difficult as it may be - forgive your sister. After all, it was your sister who mostly suffered from whatever it was that she was tormented by. Everything you experienced was merely a spin-off from her suffering and you most likely were not alone, even your husband was effected by her scornfulness, ask him. It sounds like your sister may in fact have been cursed, whether it be spiritually or mentally. I hope that deep down you will wish that she had been able to live life with a deeper sense of peace within herself. If you pray, say a prayer for your sister that she will be forgiven and can perhaps move on. Faith in God will lift all your burdens off your shoulders. You might give faith a try if you haven't already. It'll help you to understand better (not only what you have been through) but will help you endure better all you will have to go through in the future. |
