Is having a bad trip actually an attack from an evil
spirit?
Hear me out.
So I have a story to share withyou, or rather a testimony that
happened to me this lastJanuary.
Today is September 2025.
So real quick before I startthis story, I want to say that I
no longer take these substances.
I am actually sober.
I have given up all thesesubstances.
(00:22):
God has shown me the truth and Ihave abided in him.
I was at a friend's house.
We had a New Year's party.
And it's about 3 a.m.
at this point.
And me and my wife are havingthe time of our lives.
We're on substances.
We're feeling great.
We're feeling awesome.
We're on some psychedelics too.
But with that being said, wewere having a great time.
(00:46):
We're at our friend's house andhe has dance music playing.
There's about like eight or ninepeople left at this party at
about 3 a.m.
in the morning.
And me and my wife are dancingat the center of his little
little dance stage he has there.
And while we're dancing andholding each other, I feel this
evil presence upon this girlthat's sitting on the couch.
(01:11):
And I can't shake this sinisterfeeling, but I feel this evil
presence.
And in the Bible, it states thatThese spiritual beings, these
evil, unclean spirits, theyattach themselves to people.
And they jump from people topeople to people.
Now, going back on, I just wantto say that I don't believe the
(01:31):
girl was evil in any way.
But I believe there wassomething upon her, an unclean,
evil spirit, or you can evencall that a demon, was upon her.
And it decided to jump from heronto me.
Because as soon as it did, Istarted having a bad trip.
But again, I'd rather call thata spiritual attack because
(01:53):
that's what it was.
So in my head, I start thinkingthe wildest thing.
I start thinking that everyone'sgoing to kill me.
Everybody is in on it.
The whole world is going to endtonight in some way or some
fashion.
It's almost as if this is thedevil's day and he's going to
(02:14):
act upon his plan tonight andeverybody's in on it.
I'm battling with this in myhead because I know it's not
true.
So I'm having this bad trip inmy head, or rather, again,
spiritual attack.
And I talk to another friend.
And when I look him in the eye,it feels like they're in on it.
(02:35):
And so it's like confirming whatI know isn't real.
But still, I'm keeping calm, notletting anyone know that I'm
going through this in my head,this bad trip or spiritual
attack.
So as I'm fighting with thisthought, the thought comes to
me.
I'm like, I am a Christian.
Why don't I ask God for help?
(02:56):
Why don't I rely on him forhelp?
This is the first time I've everbeen back with Christ and been
on substances like this.
And actually thought to rely onand ask him for help.
So what I do is I start sayingin my head, God will protect me.
Jesus will protect me.
(03:17):
God will save me.
And I'm saying that in my headover and over and over.
God will protect me.
Jesus will protect me.
And you know what it felt like?
It felt like I was beingtormented.
It felt like something was in myhead, whispering in my ears
that, yeah, God will protectyou.
Yeah, Jesus will protect you.
(03:37):
And it was just like felt like Iwas being mocked and nothing was
helping.
So I'm like, this isn't working.
And about a half an hour haspassed by now.
I'm still just dealing with thisissue.
And while this is all happening,I have fear.
I have anxiety.
You can imagine it.
It's just I feel veryuncomfortable.
(03:59):
And then the thought comes tome.
I'm just saying statements.
So why don't I actually praydirectly?
to establish a connection withGod, an actual conversation,
because I'm just sayingstatements that it's not going
to do anything.
So I'm like, okay, okay, here'swhat I'm going to do.
I got to pray to God.
(04:20):
So in my head, I start trying topray to God.
But you know what?
It feels like I'm being choked,strangled.
My thoughts, they're beingchoked and strangled.
And I can't even formulate asentence as a prayer to God.
(04:42):
It's like something ispreventing me from speaking to
the God Almighty.
And I can't pray to him.
I'm having a lot of difficultypraying to him.
And in my head, I'm justthinking like, You can do this,
Mike.
Pray.
Pray to God.
And I'm telling you, with themost effort and the most
(05:05):
struggle, I finally was able toget this word out to God.
In my head, I was barely able tosay, God, rid me of these evil
spirits.
And Boom.
Gone.
Immediately.
The bad trip was completelyover.
(05:27):
All the fear, all the anxiety,all the torment.
It was like something justwhooshed away.
And I was sitting there at thisparty, dealing with this myself,
and I was sitting there like,it's gone.
It's gone.
The bad trip, or again, the evilspirit, is gone.
(05:48):
And I was in absolute shockbecause to me that was a
confirmation from God that ridme of this evil spirit because
he has authority over all and heheard my prayer and he heard my
prayer and he answered it and Iwas completely cured of any
(06:10):
torment any awful thoughts and Iwas perfectly good 100% I
actually felt sober at thispoint and Wow.
I kept this to myself.
I didn't want to tell my wifewhile I was under the influence.
But let me tell you, on the ridehome in the Uber, I was so
(06:31):
thankful.
At this point, the sun wascoming up.
It was late or early in theearly morning, and the sun was
coming up, and I'm lookingoutside the Uber, and I am in
tears, y'all, tears streamingdown my face.
And I'm praying to God because Iwas so thankful that he came and
(06:54):
answered my prayer and rid thisevil spirit from me.
And you know what?
It was like a confirmation.
It was a confirmation to knowthat God is real.
This is a testimony that I wantto share with the world.
And I also want to share thiswith anyone because if you're
(07:16):
ever going through a virtualattack or a bad trip, sometimes
you might be calling on God, butyou need to actually physically
pray to him, pray directly tohim and make a direct contact
with him.
Because when I was sayingstatements, It's like I was a
crazy person.
It's like a crazy person on thestreet talking biblical things
(07:37):
and saying, God this, God that,Jesus, Jesus this.
That's not going to do anything.
You have to actually pray toGod.
And with his grace, he willremove you from that bad trip
because I don't think it's a badtrip.
It's not.
After reading my Bible here, Idon't think it's a bad trip at
(07:58):
all.
This is telling me that it's abad, evil spirit.
and it's a spiritual attack,100%.
Why do we get those thoughtsthat come into our heads and
then all of a sudden it's theseevil thoughts and things that
come into your head?
That is from an outside sourcecoming in, sharing space with
(08:20):
your mind because you've taken asubstance that is louted in.
You've opened up your mind toallow something else in and now
it's tormenting you.
And that's what happened to meAnd that's my testimony.
And thank God that he came to myrescue.
I love him to death.
I hope you love him to death orat least get to know him because
(08:41):
he's an amazing God.
He's real and he's coming back.
And that's why me and my wifestarted this YouTube.
You might have had a bad trip onpsychedelics and I want to share
a biblical viewpoint of thisbecause it could help you to
look at this from a biblicalaspect instead of looking at it
(09:05):
from the aspect of it oh manit's just a bad trip man you
just manifested some evil spiritthat's all of a sudden
tormenting you your thoughtslike that's not from you it's
just very clear now that I knowwhat's going on because the
Bible is the truth and this isspeaking truth to me it's
speaking the truth and I hopethis video has helped somebody

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
