Night shouldn’t feel dangerous. Yet for so many people, the dark hours bring a flood of dread—choking sensations, a weight on the chest, flickering screens, footsteps in an empty room, and the paralyzing feeling of being awake but unable to move. We lean into this uncomfortable truth with open eyes and a steady voice, walking through the signs of spiritual oppression and the practical steps to reclaim peace.
We share Tashana’s powerful story, from childhood trauma and homelessness to a desperate choice that fractured her sense of self. She describes seeing evil in the eyes of a client, sleep paralysis that felt like hands around her throat, and the moment she finally stepped away.
Whether you frame these moments as sleep paralysis, spiritual warfare, or both, you’ll leave with tools to stand your ground, a community to call on, and hope that holds through the night.

(01:17):
Hi there, may the God of the Bible bless your life once again
together in this podcast talkingabout paranormal activity.
I know nobody wants to talk about paranormal activities
because it's a subject they don't discuss in the church on
(01:38):
the altar. From the put, nobody talks about
it. They rather prefer to say that
you are crazy, that you are insane, there is something in
your mind that is not real. But when I speak to people, when
I hear testimonies like the caseof Hashanah, we see that it is
(02:01):
real today. We are going to learn from her
story over there. Over there, she had this
spiritual oppression. I want to show to you right now
what spiritual oppression is allabout.
I will be right back. Do not be scared because it is
going to reveal to you what is going on in your life over here
(02:25):
together with me spiritual oppression.
You couldn't sleep, but the alarm goes off and off you go to
start your busy day with lots ofcoffee and energy drinks.
You made it through exhausted. This has been your life for the
past year. Maybe it's not normal, the fact
(02:48):
that you can't sleep, but that'snot the only problem you face.
What about the shadows you see in your home?
How do you get rid of that again?
Last night you felt chills in your body and the feeling of
being choked. You felt paralyzed.
You could not move or scream even to save your life.
(03:13):
Then morning comes, the alarm goes off.
You start your busy day. This is just all too odd to talk
about. Is there any way out of this
routine? The TV goes off by itself and
although you live alone, someonekeeps misplacing your
belongings. You are under spiritual attacks.
(03:37):
This is your fifth trip to the pharmacy this month to buy
anxiety pills to keep you from having panic attacks.
You hear a deceased family member constantly speaking to
you. This can't be your life anymore.
You need spiritual deliverance. It cannot be your life anymore.
(04:03):
You need to be set free from this paranormal activity.
In her case she had Jesus spiritinvisible force that appears in
her sleep during the night to choke.
She could not move and this invisible spirit he's he's
(04:25):
invisible. You don't see spirit right
spirit, but Santa materialize himself.
She will just see faces like yousee right now.
This person that has Jesus spiritual attacks.
You see that she cannot move. She's in bed trying to stand,
(04:49):
but the evil holds a person in the bed.
It's 'cause also sleep paralysis.
Some people cannot wake up, they're paralyzed.
You see that during the night, this person sees strange things
in the bedroom. How many people stays with their
(05:10):
light on the whole night? And the person cannot easily.
If you suffer from this problem,this spiritual pressure in a
few, I am going to pray for you.The scripture says that for this
purpose, for deliverance, the Son of God manifested himself.
(05:31):
He came to fight against the spiritual attacks.
Let us know together what her story.
I will be right back. I was having paranormal
activities and depressed. I was molested as a child when I
(05:51):
was 19 and got pregnant, then became homeless.
I was depressed. At the time I did not know it
was depression. I wanted to commit suicide.
I tried taking a handful of pills, but there come a time now
(06:11):
when my son, he, I was in the kitchen.
I was hungry. There was nothing to eat.
I had no job, no money, nobody Icould call on.
And so my son was looking up in my face and he was crying
because he was hungry. And I was crying because I
didn't have anything to give to him.
(06:31):
And then I remember I keep seeing in the in the newspaper,
massage work is needed. And it seems like an easy job.
You don't need any education or anything.
And then when I get there, I realize how the the girls are
dressed. They're not, they're in like
bikini stuff, lingerie. Nobody is dressed like they're
(06:55):
masseuse. So that's when the lady told me
that this is what we do. We if they want massage, we give
them massage. If they want, sorry to be blunt,
sex, then we give them sex. And I was like, what do I do?
Do I go back home to a hungry child or do I just do this?
(07:18):
And at the time, I thought this was my only option.
And so I did it. My first experience with it was
I think I saw edema in the face of the first guy that I was with
because it was my first time. I was just so, you know, afraid.
So I closed my eyes, but then when I opened my eyes and looked
(07:43):
in his face, I'm pretty sure I saw a demon and I just started
crying basically having sex witha demon.
That's how I saw it. I'm having sex with a demon.
One of the problems I was havingwas they call it sleep
paralysis. These all these things started
(08:03):
happening to me was a dream, like I was almost paralyzed and
God was sending people to tell me to leave.
Eventually I left for some reason I just didn't want to go
back. I went home and I just didn't
want to go back. And I remember one day, one
night I was in my bed and I was praying the Our Father prayer
(08:28):
and I felt some like a hand choking me.
And I'm like this trying to move, but there's nobody there.
But I'm trying to pull the hand off my neck because I couldn't
breathe and the head was chokingme.
So I couldn't even finish the prayer.
I was in my bed. So I know I always have the
(08:48):
sleep paralysis, so it's in my bed.
And I felt like my bed sunk, youknow, like when somebody sit
beside you on the bed, the bed sinks.
So I got up to make sure I'm notsleeping.
So I got up and I'm like, OK, I'm not sleeping.
So what's happening here? Then I hear like a heavy
breathing in my ear like this girl that I was, she was my my
(09:13):
girlfriend. She was going to the Universal
Church. Obviously she wasn't a
Christian, she was just a visitor.
But she's always inviting me. And that was that was all I
needed. I went that one time and I never
left. I did receive strong prayers and
then when I was done praying, I felt delivered and I walked out
(09:37):
of church that day and I was just so happy when I received
the Holy Spirit. I was actually at work and I was
just praying and seeking the Holy Spirit.
That conviction came upon me. I felt like all the sins were
gone. So I'm filled with the Holy
(09:59):
Spirit completely delivered and never going back.
My life is completely changed. I'm married, I'm no longer
living that rebellious life. I'm no longer aggressive.
I am at peace. I'm happy God has been very good
to me and I just experienced thelove I love like never before
(10:22):
with God and I'm happy I'm at peace.
She said I am happy, I am at peace right now.
You are going to pray together with me.
Even you who are inside of prison, but you have this
paranormal activities, Let us pray together.
Please get your cup of water. I will bless the water.
(10:45):
You are going to drink the waterand we are going to pray.
They deliver us. Pray, hold your water, close
your eyes in the name of Jesus, O Lord my gods.
It is not fiction, it's not something made-up.
It is real. Satan came to destroy, to kill,
(11:07):
