Ooops, sorry about the double post.
Not sure how that happened.
BTW, that should be .....
“You talk like someone who has very LITTLE experience with children.”
Find people whose wisdom and discernment you TRUST (i.e. won't jump to conclusions "it was a demon, oh noes" nor mocking skeptics).
Pray with them that the Lord will give you wisdom about the proper next steps to take.
Heed and obey the Lord's instructions.
...and I'm praying for you.
I also read a LOT to my kids.
And we’d point things out in the pictures, talk about what was going on, what might happen next, they’d ask what the words said.
My two oldest were reading at four as well on the closer to five end of it.
We got my oldest daughter the Little House series for her sixth birthday, which was just where she was reading wise.
That said, kids ARE capable of far more than most adults give them credit for. I think this is a real disservice to the children.
A four year old is capable of giving an accurate and factual account of what they see.
On my Son's life, I swear I witnessed something....unholy.
Satan fears Jesus, because he knows Jesus has the victory. Christ is Risen.
It’s all how they’re raised. If adults converse rationally to them, and read to them, and energize their minds, little children are quite amazing. I spoke to them rationally from when they were born, and they understood words at a few months old. Surprised me!
TV is not good for kids...
Like Haley's Comet?
At four years old, I was writing complete sentences. I remember getting yelled at by an older sister for writing in her books.
:-D
Remember we are not the children of fear but of Grace. The devil and his ilk are all liars. They will oppress you and try to break you down. YOU CAN NOT FIGHT THEM ON YOUR OWN. Only by calling on the shed blood of Christ can you resist and vanquish these foes. Pray, pray, pray. Rid your home of any spiritual pollution. Any one ever dabble in the occult? Get rid of any paraphenalia. Was there ever a suicide by a close family member or friend? Ask your pastor to offer up prayers of deliverence since demons often gain a foothold in the anger and despair of suicides.
Christ before me. Have a prayer shield and use it. Call on your guardian angel to aid you. Confess any sins to God and trust in Him alone.
Ok serious question. Is the 4 yr old taking any kind of prescription or OTC medication for say an allergy or cold or any combinations of other meds with it? Some medications are capable of producing adverse reactions which can induce halucinations in people.
You're right. I never thought of it that way. He must obey Him, though.
He may not have feared Him THEN, But satan certainly fears Him NOW... Let's not forget Christ's "promotion" at the resurrection! :D
Well, It’s not something I’ve ever thought about before.
I’ll have to consider it some more.
Either way, he still has no choice about whether he obeys Jesus; like it or not.
Yeah... different angle.... I get it...
But he knows his time is short, and he knows the outcome... I doubt that he does anything but fear Christ and the power of His Name.
What is more to the point is whether or not folks are standing upon THE FOUNDATION, that they might walk into the Holy place boldly, having a real and true access to that powerful Name.
It is a matter of faith - There is no question that with the faith to make it stick, a Christian is a fearful thing to satan - for that Christian stands in the shadow (or rather, the light) of our mighty Lord:
Jas 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
There is no doubt that the accuser (an arch-demon for those on the thread who say demons no longer exist) would not for a minute flee from the threat of my scrawny carcass... So it is apparent to me that it is the power of the Mighty One which sends him scurrying back to his dark abyss.
Either way, he still has no choice about whether he obeys Jesus; like it or not.
That's a bare fact.
seriously — whether you are Catholic or not, reach out to your nearest Catholic parish and ask for an exorcist to come and investigate. Don’t worry if you get scoffed. This may be nothing, this may be just imagination, but then again it may be the same demonic presence — take action now. You do not have to be Catholic to get the help of an exorcist
For those who are non-believers, and there are many here, this is an issue that brings out the worst in people.
I am a believer in the Bible. The Bible references satan, and his capabilities many times.
NGZ, I will pray in agreement with you.
Now, I’m off of this thread. ;o)

If my posts have nothing useful for you, by all means, skip them.
Jung was definitely into the occult. Seriously into the occult.
