How to Stop Seeing Spirits Upon Waking Up: Biblical Guidance and Practical Steps

Many individuals report seeing spirits or supernatural entities when they are waking up. This experience can be unsettling and concerning. However, through recognizing the true nature of these phenomena and turning to spiritual authority, many have found peace and freedom from such occurrences. This article explores the biblical perspective and practical steps to address this issue.

Understanding What You Are Seeing

Often, what individuals perceive as spirits may be nothing more than floaters in the eyes or a manifestation of one’s own imagination. These visual disturbances are known as floaters and are harmless. It is essential to recognize that spirits, as commonly perceived, do not exist outside the human psyche and belief.

Biblical Perspective and Authority in Jesus Christ

Those who believe in seeing spirits may be dealing with malicious spirits or entities that seek to disrupt one’s peace. In the Bible, Jesus and His disciples were often confronted with such spirits, but they found peace through praying and invoking the authority of Jesus Christ. Jesus taught that all authority is given to Him, and thus, casting out such spirits can be achieved by recognizing Him as your Lord and Master.

You can start by renouncing any control by these spirits by recognizing your authority in Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that when Jesus entered a demon-possessed man, He cast out the spirits and restored the man’s sanity (Mark 1:23-27, Luke 4:31-37). Recognizing your authority in Jesus means turning to Him for help and seeking His protection.

Prayer and Daily Devotion

It is important to pray daily and seek to understand the spiritual realm. Prayer is a powerful tool in aligning yourself with God's will and deterring malicious spirits. Daily devotion to your faith can strengthen your spiritual shield and increase your ability to recognize and resist these entities.

Seeking Spiritual Guidance

For those who believe and are open to spiritual guidance, there are several resources available. One such resource is the teachings of Derek Prince, a renowned Bible-believing preacher who has extensively preached about spirits and demons. His sermons provide valuable insights into understanding and addressing these spiritual battles.

Additionally, finding a Bible-believing, Holy Spirit-filled church can provide you with spiritual support and guidance. Engage with the pastors and elders to gain a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm and how to navigate it. They can offer wisdom and direction that you may not have otherwise considered.

Using Your Gift for Good

Often, those who are granted the ability to see spirits can use this gift for good. You may be called to serve in a ministry to cast out spirits from others and help make the world a safer place. Jesus calls everyone to use their gifts for His glory and service (1 Corinthians 12:7).

It is crucial to be kind and loving towards all spirits, no matter what form they take or what they have done. In Matthew 10:15, it is written that 'whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, going out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.' Yet, it also emphasizes the importance of not causing harm to those in a state of spiritual darkness (Matthew 10:14-15).

Avoiding the Occult and Embracing Christ

Avoid practices that involve the occult, such as Wicca, Espiritismo, or Santa Muerte, as these can bring more wicked spirits into your life. These practices often involve dark spells and rituals that can harm both the practitioner and those around them. Instead, seek the guidance of the Lord Jesus, who alone offers true spiritual protection and healing.

Remember, the wicked will be destroyed, but you should not cause them any harm. Throughout your journey, maintain a peaceful and loving attitude towards all. Cast out evil spirits from people who need help, but do not participate in activities that invite further spiritual danger.

As you embark on this journey of spiritual awareness, trust in the presence of the Holy Spirit. He will guide you and keep you safe. May God bless you and be with you as you seek to understand and navigate the spiritual realm with integrity and love.

Key Takeaways:

Recognize that the spirits you see may not be real but are a manifestation of your beliefs or imagination. Renounce any control by these spirits by recognizing your authority in Jesus Christ. Engage in daily prayer and Bible study to strengthen your spiritual defense. Seek guidance from a Bible-believing church and spiritual resources such as the teachings of Derek Prince. Use your ability to serve others and make a difference, always acting with kindness and love. Avoid practices that involve the occult and embrace the power of Jesus Christ to protect and heal.
