 It's 3 AM. You wake up, can't move, have trouble breathing and see a dark figure in the room. Sleep paralysis can be both biological and demonic. It can be used by demonic beings to exaggerate their power over you. Every night, your body naturally paralyzes itself so that you don't move while you dream and wake yourself up. Sometimes, especially when you go to bed exhausted, you wake up before the natural paralysis wears off. Thus, your mind is awake but your body stays asleep. Demons can seize upon this moment to project torments that coincide with your inability to move. They take advantage of the opportunity to terrify you with visuals and scare you into believing that they have power over your physical body. How deceptive indeed, then, fear robs you of sleep making you exhausted and the cycle repeats. To overcome, address the spiritual aspect to rebuking the enemy and resisting the fear. Additionally, address the physical aspect by getting more rest. I cover this and more in Holy Spirit the Bondage Breaker, available at bondagebreaker.com.
