Why Do People Sleep In Church? by mrbenjame: 6:32pm On Apr 11, 2021
Have you ever wondered why people dress to church only to end up sleeping during sermon? I won’t say I’ve not done it before. But as an instrumentalist it’s very rare I fall asleep because my hands are busy. So for you, have you experienced it? If so, what’s the cause?

Theyve received a demonic knock on the head. It called Spirit of buying and selling.

It usually happens when the demon's see you're about to receive a word that will activate your blessings and usher in your breakthrough. So the devil uses it to rob people of their blessings.

American demons are taking it easy with you guys that's why you don't believe they can give you a knock. Come to naija. You'll know how far. lol..

The first three people to comment are struggling to share a joke not originated by any of them. Lol

OP, asides from the normal night sleep, people normally sleep when they aren't active for long, when the environmental is very conducive, when their normal sleeping time is cut short, when they are just stressed/tired, etc. So if someone is sleeping during church service, it could be because of any of these things. Maybe they woke up unusually early to attend the service or the sermon is taking too long or they had a hectic day/night or the A.C is just too good compared to their standing fans at home. I don't subscribe to the idea of demons playing around inside the church.

Most Demons come from your belief in them. undecided

I grew up in that same Nigeria myself and there were no talk of demons until religious people began pointing to demons everywhere they looked. undecided

When Jesus Christ walked the earth, demons were not see everywhere. undecided

What of the demon Jesus cast out of the boy with the dumb Spirit?

What of the ones that were cast into the swine?

This is very sad! undecided

Like I said, demons were not everywhere even during the time of Jesus Christ. undecided

You religious folks see demons everywhere you look. Some even pretend there is at least a demon in every one that does not agree with them. It Is sickening and sad to see a human mind plunged up with lies and delusions that have no bearing on even reality. undecided.

What is sad is you continue to trade the Truth of Jesus Christ for the lies of religion without even realizing it. undecided

That you read of a handful of cases from the teachings of Jesus Christ does not give you or anyone license to assume that demons are then every where you look. And you have to bear in mind that Jesus Christ sought ought the sick and possessed of His time... He went looking for them -the sick, possessed, the crippled, lame, etc. -they were not found everywhere in Jewish society since they were mostly left to live outside of the main population back during that time and this according to Old Covenant rules. undecided

Stop lying to yourself about reality and stop letting men deceive you with their lies which have nothing to do with Jesus Christ or what He teaches. Demons are not every where neither are they to blame for the actions of men. undecided

The vast majority of people will live and die never ever actually experiencing any demons or the supernatural. Instead what will haunt them will be the delusions they have submitted their minds to through the imbibing and following of lies told them by their fellow men. undecided

Just over a year ago, a vast number of Nigerians were manipulated by the lies told them by their Mogs that Coronavirus had to do with 5G technology in some way. You saw here and saw the frenzy that lie crested pitching minds against the Truth that has been available since even before the lie started. A year later, there are still many who struggle to peel the damage done by those lies from their minds...that is how lies work. They distort your very perception of reality even if by just a smidge. undecided

Jesus Christ told a parable about the Kingdom of God to help explain it too. He compared the Kingdom to yeast that a woman took and folded into a batch of flour. The yeast eventually leaves the entire batch of flour. undecided

If the yeast(teaching) is the Truth of God, then the entire batch becomes Truth and is readied for Heaven. If the yeast is instead the doctrines and traditions of men(lies), then the entire batch becomes all lies and readied for Hell. undecided


P.S. Heaven and Hell are both kingdoms in the Kingdom of God.
