Welcome to Tweens to Teens Real Girl Christian Talk. I am your coach and mentor Mel. I am always here to answer any questions you may have, so feel free to email me at fosteringtheinterchild@gmail.com. So today we're going to talk about why are there so many voices in my head. When I was a kid, I never thought much about it until I got to be an adult. I really actually thought this is the way it's supposed to be. Occasionally, maybe once a week, I would feel like all these voices would finally become quiet. For me, all these voices were exhausting. I was just not able to focus on reading or doing anything that required me to focus on important stuff. And the thing is, is that all these voices sounded just like me, but each one of them had a role, you could say. One voice may be a voice that was mean to me. This voice would say that I was fat, I need to lose weight or look at you. When I look in the mirror at myself, some of these voices would say that nobody loved me, nobody cared about me. No one wanted to be my friend. Other voices would cause me to remember something that someone else had said or done to me that was mean. And this voice would replay the instant over and over in my mind, causing me to get angry. Then another voice would talk to me about what I should do to that person that said this or did those things to me. So it was constantly these all these negative voices, but each individual voice sounded just like me. Now I never saw a psychologist or a therapist, so I don't know if I would have been clinically diagnosed with multiple personality disorder. But many years later I found out that these voices were demonic voices of depression, demonic voices of anger, demonic voices of anxiety, demonic voices of hatred and hatred of myself and so on. If you go back to my earlier podcasts, I do talk about the mind, will, and emotion and how our soul is where all the spiritual junk is held. So you can go back and listen to that if this doesn't make quite any sense to you. But when I started learning about the spiritual oppression and attending big church meetings outside of my own church, I started seeing major change within me and I started seeing these voices leave and my mind become very quiet. And I learned that those voices I was hearing before that sounded like me were not me but demons that had a right to me to torture me. So for example, the spirit of anxiety will cause me to be so scared of certain things and these voices would tell me the worst possible thing that could actually, that never happened but the possibility of it happening. And I would literally dwell on the fact that the worst thing that could possibly happen. More often than not, the worst never actually happened by the way. But what actually happened is this demon wanted to put the spirit of fear in me. And I had both of those things anxiety and fear. So for me, the thing that really scared me was going to doctors. So I would be crying and sobbing while being dragged into the doctors because I would refuse to go unless I was deathly ill. And still then you had to drag me to the doctors because I was terrified of doctors. You see, when you hear any voice in your head that sounds like you but isn't telling you things that are positive or these that you don't have peace about you, this is an out of God. In Galatians 5, 22 through 23 it says, "But the fruit of the spirit," which is the Holy Spirit, "is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Sometimes we have so many voices that it's hard to hear the Holy Spirit. But I guarantee you he's there. If you've asked Jesus into your heart, he's in there. If you feel like some of the things I shared with you that you just feel weighted down by voices that make you feel bad about yourself or anxiety, fear, anger, and you just don't know what to do, or maybe you and your parents have tried everything and you need a different option. I'm going to put my disclaimer out there because I have to for legal purposes to say I'm not a doctor, I'm not a psychiatrist, I'm not a therapist. But I am certified in deliberate ministry. If that sounds like you, have your parents email me at fosteringtheinterchild@gmail.com to better understand what's going on and where to go from here. If that's something that scares you, let me tell you that it's nothing to be scared of. The deliverance doesn't look like a scary Hollywood movie, okay? I went through many deliverances and I simply felt a piece of God and the freedom with that. So that's it for this episode. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me until then, blessings.
