Is It Normal to Hear Voices in Your Head?

Encouraging people to embrace those voices and then trying to normalize that behavior, is the most dangerous approach yet. Doctors will try anything. Well, almost anything. If you tell them this is a spiritual problem, you’ll be shot down. Voices, they reason, are just a product of physical abnormalities and we have to learn to live with them. There couldn’t possibly be any other explanation.

The answer is clear and simple, however, if you believe in God, read the Bible, and understand that there is a spirit world.

What is happening in the minds of these people who hear voices is a mystery to the academic world. That mystery is made clear in Chapter 2 of Hebert W. Armstrong’s book Mystery of the Ages. ”Do evil spirits affect even your own life?” Mr. Armstrong asked.

“It is a mystery to almost everybody, but the Bible reveals a very real but invisible world—another dimension, as some choose to call it—existing along with our own, absolutely indiscernible to our fives senses. It is the spirit world,” he wrote.

Revelation 12 explains that Satan the devil “deceives the whole world.” The Bible says he was cast down to Earth along with the demons! This may sound strange or old-fashioned to the intellectuals of this world, but if they would work from this foundation, understanding that this world is held captive by the devil, they would be able to understand why so many people are hearing voices and why those numbers have increased since the mid-1980s. They would understand that encouraging people to entertain those voices is the most dangerous prescription they can give! It is incredibly dangerous for society to try to normalize this sort of behavior!

The Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 5:11, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” In the Revised Standard Version it says, “but instead expose them.” This is exactly the opposite of what doctors are advising people to do.

Later on in his letter to the Ephesians, Paul wrote, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12). This is about a spiritual battle. Paul said the demons are “rulers of the darkness of this world!” Jesus Christ warned that evil spirits try to occupy the minds of human beings (Matthew 12:43-45).

The spirit realm is real. It is responsible for more of the troubles in this world than people think. Some people who hear voices will argue that those voices actually help them. But that is exactly the sort of reasoning the arch-deceiver wants people to believe. Satan wants people to think hearing voices is normal. It’s spiritual Stockholm syndrome. And the captor isn’t about to let up. “For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time” (Revelation 12:120). Satan is an expert at making evil appear good (2 Corinthians 11:14). He doesn’t want human beings to resist him, yet that is exactly what God says to do in order to get rid of these problems: “Submit yourselves therefore to God, Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).

Society, under the sway of Satan the devil, wants to normalize behavior that directly contradicts what God teaches in the Holy Bible. Undoubtedly, the media and the so-called educated of this world will label this as a progressive stance—but just keep watching, because the more people embrace this sort of behavior the crazier this world is going to get. The academics of the world are just as confused about how to solve the problem as the people going to them looking for answers. But it doesn’t have to be a mystery. You can understand why this is happening. You can understand who is involved and how they’re involved. And you can even know when these problems began to intensify. Chapter 2 of Mr. Armstrong’s book Mystery of the Agesand Trumpet editor-in-chief Gerald Flurry’s booklet America Under Attack will help you straighten out the confusing mess you see in the world today.
