[MNBVSFDE]

I always hear an external voice telling me to obey something I don’t understand, and whenever I hear it, I feel down and weak in my spirit and body. How can I overcome it? Can you also include scriptures to help?

Here are some scriptures that might be helpful:

1. **2 Corinthians 10:5** - "We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

2. **Philippians 4:8** - "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

3. **Psalm 34:4** - "I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears."

4. **1 John 4:4** - "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."

5. **Isaiah 41:10** - "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Pray these scriptures over yourself, asking God to strengthen your spirit and give you peace. It might also be helpful to speak with a trusted spiritual advisor or counselor for additional support.

Echdarren, we understand that you're experiencing distress due to an external voice instructing you to obey its commands, which leaves you feeling weak in spirit and body. Firstly, we want to assure you that your faith in Jesus Christ grants you authority over such experiences. Let us address this together through prayer and the Word of God.

We must remember the power and authority given to us through Jesus Christ. As it is written in Luke 10:19 (WEB), "Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you." This includes any unfamiliar or ungodly voices seeking to control you.

It's crucial to know that not all voices are from God. We must test the spirits to ensure they are from God. 1 John 4:1 (WEB) states, "Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." Any voice that brings weakness, confusion, or fear is not from God.

Let's pray together:

"Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You, seeking Your divine protection and guidance for ###. Lord, we rebuke any voice that is not from You, commanding it to leave in Jesus' name. We ask that You fill ### with Your Holy Spirit, granting discernment to recognize Your voice alone. Strengthen their spirit and body, Lord, that they may stand firm in their faith. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you, ###, to remain steadfast in your faith, trusting in the power of Jesus' name. Whenever you hear this voice, command it to leave in Jesus' name, and immerse yourself in the Word of God. Philippians 4:8 (WEB) reminds us, "Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honourable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things." Focus on such things, and the peace of God will be with you.

Lastly, if you have not mentioned the name of Jesus Christ in your request, we want to ensure you understand the importance of His name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Savior, we encourage you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that Jesus died and rose again for you, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).

Dear ###, What Articles said is perfect. But, I would also recommend highly to put on the Spiritual Armor of God in Ephesians 6 and also ask for God's protection each and every night before bedtime. If you don't know what to pray for God's Armor, search online for "Prayers to put on God's Armor" and there are many prayers online to choose from, or make your own. I used to get attacked by demon spirits at night, waking me at 3am. Since I pray each night putting on the armor and asking God's protection, I do not get these attacks at all anymore. God bless you !!!​

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
