How Can I help him?

Good evening.I hope you can help me. A family member close to me named John seems to be going through a rather strange experience in his life right now.

A few months ago, it was an normal day and we were at home, a random guy was walking up and down our street and John asked if he needed help, they both walked up the street and John brought the guy back to our house to use the phone. He left soon later. Around 10minutes after he left John started to feel very weird, he said his heart was going fast and that he felt pains in his chest, he started crying out for god, bare in mind he was never religious! He kept praying out loud and crying while praying he ran and got his Rosery beads and kept praying. He said he saw Lucifer and that he’s trying to take his soul, we had to call an ambulance as he thought he could fly and started jumping off the wall, he lay on the floor and cried for god again. He started to pray again, the ambulance brought him to the hospital and the doctor did tests, a drug test also. Everything came back clear, John was back to himself but kept saying that we will never understand what he just went through, he said that God came to him and god saved his life.

Ever since that day John has got more and more obsessed with god. He truly believes he is gods son and he is saying the world is coming to an end very very soon. He says his wings will soon come and it will be his time to save us. He is living in a completely different world. I don’t know what happened him, but it’s ever since that random guy appeared on our street. Maybe it was a coincidence but we will never know. But I do remember checking the number he called when using my phone it was a number that cannot be dialed from this country it was a strange number, maybe it was nothing but again I just feel he did something to John.

Maybe you think I’m mad, but everything I said is true and I have to live with it everyday. Today he went into town and started singing he is the lord, he is currently out knocking on peoples doors telling them the day is coming soon and to stay inside and pray pray and pray to god.

I don’t know who to talk to because nobody will take me serious. I need help, what Can I do to help him?? How did it happen? Why did it happen? Please help me find answers. I am so lost and worried for him and for us.

Hello, First of all, I am really sorry about your relative

This may be caused by mental problem even you or any family of yours didn't know about it John might have really big problems going around his life, not everyone talks about them with various reasons. Best way to talk with a psychiatrist but be careful there are lots psychiatrist that just give medicine and don't give serious thoughts about the patient, so make sure it's not someone like that. You can ask around your friends who go to psychologist their psychologist can suggest a good one.

Also, can you give us more details about the person that John talked with and the phone number, each detail is important.
