How to Stop Sleep Paralysis
There are two types of stopping sleep paralysis that I will discuss in this chapter. The first type is stopping sleep paralysis in the middle of an event. This is especially helpful for those that are used to sleep paralysis experiences lasting a long time, or if there is sexual violation occurring, but really any SP event can be cut short using the methods I will discuss. The second type is stopping sleep paralysis from happening altogether, to be free from sleep paralysis for good.
Using the Authority
The most important part of overcoming regular sleep paralysis (after becoming a Christian) is to know that Jesus has given us the authority over demonic forces and knowing how to use that authority. I have quoted this verse before in this book but it bears repeating at this point.
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven. - Luke 10:19-20
This authority is for every Christian from the brand-new Christian to the seasoned veteran. It is not just for pastors or "exorcists" or any other professional. For example the seventy men that Jesus sent out to cast out demons in the chapter we just quoted were not all apostles or professionals; they were just followers of Jesus. In fact in Mark 9:38-40 Jesus actually rebukes His disciples for getting mad at a Christian who wasn't in their group that was using the authority of Jesus to cast out demons. Jesus tells His disciples it was just fine for him to do that even though he wasn't a part of their particular group of followers. Clearly Jesus' intention was for this authority of His to be used by anyone who is a Christian.
Why Does it Work?
This is a really important section because you will need a very good understanding of what I am about to say here in order to use the authority that Jesus has given us effectively. We have already seen that demons are afraid of Jesus and the authority that He has over them. The question that remains is why they are so afraid? The answer is that as Jesus said, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth." (Matthew 28:18) He is the final authority on everything; what He says goes. Since He has given Christians the same authority, the demons are now "subject unto us" too. That means they must do what we tell them to do in Jesus' name. So what should we tell them to do if we encounter them? There are many answers to this question. In the Bible there are different things that were said to demons for different occasions. However there is one thing in particular that we have found to be very effective.
