I respect your position. There is someone (above any religious station any 1 man can be in) that wants what's best for us. For you. I'm certain that in these calamitous times, you'd agree, that something dark is trying to get us to destroy ourselves and the world around us. Humans are naturally spiritual creatures and that element is such a huge part of self care. So, as it were, if for example, you'd maybe fall behind on a good meal, or a shower, or even brushing your teeth lol, you should be mindful not to neglect your spiritual health. May the Great Creator guide your journey away from darkness and may your light shine brighter than the midday. Don't let THEM (the dark ones) lure you into a false sense of security with regard to its child-like disguise. Give that pup some ear scratches and love from me. Your Christian Reddit Aly, Sabs

Did you happen to recieve any spiritual counsel? The devil knows who God is, and "Faith without works is dead". As an example, have you ever seen a horror movie (curious how many demonic ones there are nowadays, but I digress) and the priest or a character had a crucifix as a deterrent and "symbol" of Christ Power to expel it and all of a sudden, the demon laughs and mocks their effort? Well, that's because the power isn't in the relics of "faith" or the so-called "blessed" objects one possesses for protection. It's not like a magic word one has to utter and then, "poof" it all goes away. If we're speaking on a plot of land that this entity (pretty sure there are many more there) its best not to kick the hornets nest with trying to get a church involved. Seeking help comes from our personal relationship with the Living God (Proverbs 83:18, John 6:44) even if you don't have a Bible, if you're not a particularly religious person, I urge you to at least Google these Bible verses in order that you can see what needs to happen with your foundation of faith. A good strong foundation that cannot be shaken (Matthew 7:24 & 25). If we're speaking on your house, you have the authority to bless your house. You have the right to expel evil away from you and your family (that includes your fur baby puppy) and remember that Faith is, as Hebrews chapter 11 verses 1 and 2 (I'd go on and read 3 for good measure)..[the] assured expectation of realities not seen..".

Please, whatever happens, you must continue to pray and stand firm. I will pray for you.

Unfortunately, it probably had something to do with the child's disappearance. Especially if it's started to set up a sort of territory. I wouldn't be surprised if it was summoned by someone unwittingly or a natural manifestation of unclean spirits taking up shop in a vacant place. Look, if you feel this is REAL EVIL, then the other side of that coin is REAL GOOD and that power is immeasurable. The poor innocent people that simply vanished into thin air one day and never returned, has been happening for as long as humans have been on this planet. There IS A FORCE that can and WILL bring them all back. From parallel dimensions, from death, from capture. You focus on what you can do to protect you and your loved ones with that reality.

YHWH be with you through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏

It will move on. If you're not religious, then you may want to reconsider that and make a conscientious effort to get right with the positive forces in the universe who CAN take this sort of entity into custody (yes. They have to obey universal laws as well)and remove it from your area or at the very least, will protect your home and all thresholds leading therein. Good luck. And don't pay it any additional attention, it's not only fed on those poor chickens but it obviously can absorb and discharge energy at will. You, having free will and dominion over your pup, have authority to deny it feeding off of your fear and anxiety.
