The Possession

ONE OF MY OWN FAVORITE EXPRESSION IS THAT "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BEING A LITTLE BIT PREGNANT".

NOW THIS APPLIES TO ALL CULTS,  WEIRDO'S , EXTREMISTS  INCLUDED.  WHEN THEY TEND TO GO OVERBOARD, THEY TEND TO GO REALLY OVERBOARD, EVEN OF THE   FALSE PENTECOSTAL OR EVANGELICAL GROUPS NOW TOO, FOR WHEN THEY ARE WRONG IN ONE ERROR   THEY TEND TO HAVE MANY OTHER MAJOR BIBLICAL DOCTRINAL ERRORS.  AND WHY IS THAT NOW?
.
I am a Christian and nothing else

.

NOW ANOTHER GOOD INDICATION TO ME IS HOW ANY PERSON OR GROUPS STANDS IN THEIR VIEW OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.. DO THEY SEE HIM AS GOD, DO THEY ALSO ADMIT, TALK ABOUT HIS GIFTS MINISTRY, PERSONALITY AS WELL

.

NOW THAT IS SO TRUE WHEN THEY ARE WRONG IN SUCH A VITAL AREA  THEY ARE NEXT WRONG IN SO MANY CAUSE THEY ARE STILL BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT OF DEMONS AND NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT.

In Luke 13:16, Christ cast a demon out of a 'daughter of Abraham'.

.

In Matthew, chapter 16, Jesus had just concluded His explanation to His disciples on the true nature of His earthly mission-that He must suffer and die (verse 21). Peter immediately spoke up in an effort to dissuade Christ from going to the cross: "Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!" (verse 22). The response of Christ was abrupt and stern. "Get behind Me, Satan!" Jesus said to Peter (verse 23).

.

In Acts chapter 5, Ananias and Sapphira, members of the early church, lied to the apostle Peter. They had sold some possessions to give to the church, and then had second thoughts and conspired to keep back a portion for themselves. When Peter asked them what amount they had received for the sale, Ananias and Sapphira lied. What was the source of that lie? The apostle Peter said, "Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit" (verse 3). In judgment, God struck them dead. If we accept the assumption that Ananias and Sapphira experienced the new birth in Christ, yet  how else can we explain away the fact that their hearts were filled by Satan to such an extent that they were capable of committing a sin worthy of such abrupt and severe divine judgment?

.

1 Thessalonians 4:3   Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

.

You see that even the initially  Holy Spirit filled Christian can falsely still oppose the Holy Spirit next.

.

Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

.

The Apostle Judas typifies for  me what a BAD CHRISTIAN is really like.. Judas  is infamously known for his kiss and betrayal of Jesus to the hands of the chief Sanhedrin priests in exchange for a payment of thirty silver coins andh His place among the Twelve Apostles was later filled by Matthias.;  yet woe is upon him, and he would have been better unborn (Matthew 26:23–25).   from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. ( Acts 1:25) 

.

Some read Iscariot to mean “man of Kerioth,” a city in Judea. This would make Judas the only Judean in the group and an outsider. Others argue that a copyist error transposed two letters and that Judas was named “Sicariot,” a member of the party of the Sicarii. This comes from the Greek word for “assassins” and was a group of fanatical nationalists who thought that the only good Roman was a dead Roman. Judas Iscariot could have been, then, Judas the Terrorist.

.

 We can all easily all know that while Judas professed to follow Jesus Christ, he not only did not give up his stealing ways, but he betrayed Jesus for money, and reelected Jesus because Jesus was not going to reestablish  the Jewish nation as the world wide religious center. Judas expected Jesus to overthrow Roman rule of Israel. In this view, Judas is a disillusioned disciple betraying Jesus not so much because he loved money, but because he loved his country and thought Jesus had failed it  Matthew 27:3    Then Judas, which had betrayeth him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

.

Most Christians still consider Judas a traitor. Indeed the term Judas has entered many languages as a synonym for betrayer. so Judas does not appear in an of the Epistles of Paul, as He who endures to the end shall be saved..

.

Now Judas was a Christian,, follower of Jesus who became undeniably Demon possessed and next went to hell. you always have a free will and you chose what spirit you do still have next too. More correctly, the word translated "possession" should simply be rendered "demonized," that is, under the influence of a demon. 

.

By the way I cast out 2 demons out of two Christian people in my church after they had repented. .. one was the pastor's daughter who committed fornication, and the other one HAD made a bind with Satan ..Like I said let the Holy Spirit teach you here not false men.. there is nothing good in men.

.

Before  I first became involved in exorcisms, I too had assumed that a Christian was immune from the torment of demons. I based that assumption on the influence of other supposedly Christian leaders who convinced me of this.   "The Holy Spirit and an evil spirit can't dwell in the same vessel." "Light and darkness cannot co-exist." The Holy Spirit showed me otherwise..

.

Anyone searching the Word of God more diligently about the matter of demons influencing Christians, can see that the issue wasn't as conclusive as  most people had thought. 

.

The pastors and Bible teachers who had repeatedly reinforced the "Christians can't have a demon" outlook had very little practical experience with the phenomenon. Clearly even the lack of experiential testimony about such a crucial area of spiritual deliverance was a glaring weakness.. People who are not even filled, baptized with the Holy Spirit falsely want to teach someone who is? absurd! 

.

Man is a tripartite being (1 Thessalonians 5:23), and there are aspects of the human body, soul, mind  that Satan can always occupy. While he is prohibited from touching the spirit of God's saints, nothing prevents him from possessing, tormenting the body and soul-if the disobedient conduct of a Christian allows him to do so. 1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

.

If you continue to sin the last verse does not apply. Casting a demon out of a believer is practiced in many , many churches today as well, I have been to a few of them too. 

.

In  Ephesians 4:23 Christians are admonished to "be renewed in the spirit of your mind." If even the mind of the Christian needs renewal, then it stands to reason that when our minds are not renewed, they may be, to some degree, under the control of the ungodly forces.2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 

.

1 Peter 5 :8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

.

Active and not passive resitance twoards the devil is always required. "Present your bodies a living sacrifice," we read in Romans 12:1. This means our bodies may not be completely sacrificed to God, and could therefore be  CONTROLLED  by Satan.    James 4: 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

.

Demon possession includes a demon having direct/complete control over the thoughts and/or actions of a person possessed. What you do not believe a dog can return to his vomit?

.

2 Peter 2: 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

.

Matt 12: 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

.

Demonic "possession"  means a demon can manifest through the host's faculties-that is, see with the eyes, speak through the vocal cords, and even subject the person to a trance state of mental oblivion. Deliverance comes when the demon inside is cast outside.   

.

What about those instances in which a demon manifests in a Christian? In most cases the demon likley had entered before the believer's conversion to Christianity some say, and the evil spirit continued to control some part of the person's life because the specific occult sin was never renounced. The demon claims squatter's rights.

.

Mark 5:1-20 is the definitive passage on demon possession and its effects in the Bible. Some of the details about demons the Bible reveals in this passage are:

1. Devils want to be near dead human bodies or tombs (vs. 2, 3, 5).

2. They can cause unusual strength (vs. 3-4).

3. They can make a person unreasonable or immune to sensible persuasion (vs. 4).

4. They cause excessive crying (vs. 5).

5. They cause sadistic and masochistic behavior (vs. 5).

6. They have an affinity for heights (vs. 5).

7. They recognize Christ as "the Son of God" and appeal to Him (vs. 6-7).

8. They know they deserve torment and dread it (vs. 6-7).

9. They have names (vs. 9).

10. More than one can possess the same body (vs. 9).

11. They desire to stay in the same geographical region or "country" (vs. 10).

12. They would rather indwell an animal body than none at all (vs. 12).

13. They can cause animals to kill themselves (vs. 13).

14. They desire to be in a body when it dies (vs. 13).

15. They have a desire for water (vs. 13).

.

Mark 9:17-29 gives us even more details about devils:

16. They can cause dumbness and deafness (vs. 17, 25).

17. They cause rabid animal like behavior (vs. 18).

18. They can indwell from childhood (vs. 21).

19. They cause suicidal behavior (vs. 22).

20. They resist leaving a body and violently "rent" it while leaving (vs. 26).

21. There are different kinds of devils. Some have more power than others (vs. 29).

22. Some can only be removed by prayer and fasting of believer (vs. 29).

 How Does Possession Come About? Uncontrolled anger,  Unforgiveness,  Fear, Unbelief, sexual immorality, impaired, drunkeness, occult involvement, cursing others, witchcraft , etc.

“If you’re a Christian and you don’t think you can have a demon - You have a demon,”
.
Demon possessed by a tormentor.. God's spirit in King Saul was replaced by an evil spirit 1 Samuel 16:14 14But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. 15And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubles you. 16Let our lord now command your servants, which are before you, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is on you, that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well. … .Saul was afflicted with “an evil spirit” as a punishment for his insistent defiance of God’s will. He had committed flagrant violation of God’s commands on two previous occasions (1 Samuel 13:13-14; 15:11,19). His

.

 Matthew 18:34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him..

.

1 Corinthians 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5To deliver such an one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? The devil by nature is a murderer (John 8:44). His rebellion against God changed his character and has made him a force that naturally kills and destroys all that comes under his power.
.
 In Revelation 9:11, he is called Abaddon and Apollyon. Both names mean Destroyer. Paul understands that someone may be delivered "unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh" (1Corinthians 5:5).
.
So, what about the sending of evil spirits by the Lord? This may be more common in scripture than you think. In Psalm 78:49, God judged Israel "by sending evil angels among them." In Judges 9:23, "God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem." In 1Kings 22:22, God sent a "lying spirit" in the mouth of the false prophets to send Ahab to his death. In the passage in question (1Samuel 16:14-15), God removed His Spirit from the disobedient Saul. This opened the door for an evil spirit to come and torment Saul. Though in this passage, it is only the servants of Saul that said the evil spirit was from the Lord, in other passages (1Samuel 18:10; 19:9), the text states that the evil spirit came from the Lord. When God removes His protective hand,the Lord allowed or permitted the distressing spirit to come upon Saul, he often turns the person over to Satan for destruction or to an evil spirit for torment. The devil and the evil spirits do the work, but God has allowed them to do what come natural to them for His own purpose.He uses evil to chastise evil” I know this concept it is thoroughly established in scripture. God does not commit wickedness, but He uses the wicked for His purpose. In the end, God will have His glory. How much better it is for us to submit to Him and obey Him willingly.

.

When adequate evidence is gathered, the facts may be understood in such a way that God is shown to be righteous and free from unfair treatment of Saul. Like every other accountable human being who has ever lived, Saul made his own decisions, and reaped the consequences accordingly God does allow evil spirits to torment people today, He still does so for all of our good, as an example to others, and for His glory
.
 Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
 .

”Demonic transference of spirits via sex is the transference of evil or unholy spirits via sexual intercourse activities.There is a very powerful transference of spirits via sex and it is the easiest ways through which evil spirits are transferred easily from one person to another. In every 100 percent of negative or unholy transference of spirits; over 85 percent are traceable from or to someone past very rough sexual activities. The Holy Bible tells us in (1Cor.6:16) that if you are jointed sexually with a harlot ; you both become one, so, if you have sexual relationship with a highly demonized persons or occultist agents, witchcraft agents, fetish priests, marine human agents; this would easily bring unholy transference of spirits from such a person to anyone involved.” Curse or curses from God as a result of immorality/sexual perversion practices (Lev.18:1-30;Lev.20:13;Lev.18:22;Romans1:26-27). 

.

"Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand." -1st Corinthians 10:8

.

MORE of the ways in which demons can be transferred easily via unholy sexual activities:
1.Illicit sexual involvement( not yet married but having illicit sexual affairs of fornication) can delay someone not to get married in time; because, demons can easily pass through such an express avenue to delay or block someone marriage.
2.Infidelity:Immoral act by either on the side of a man or woman within any instituted marriage life can easily open door for demons transferring or invading the party involved(Deut.22:22;Lev.20:10;Matt.5:27-28).
3.Homosexuality(lesbianism/Gay) sexual activities undertakings (Lev.20:13).
4.Bestiality sexual involvement( man having sex with an animal/woman having sex with an animal)Exo.22:19;Lev.20:15-16.
5.Incest sexual activities involvements: An act of having sexual intercourse with someone that is very close to oneself(abomination):
a. Unholy sexual activities with one's parent(man or woman):Lev.18:7.
b.Unholy sexual activities with one's stepmother:Lev.20:11;Lev.18:8.
c. Unholy sexual activities with one's sister:Deut.27:22;Lev.20:17.
d. Unholy sexual activities with one's aunt:Lev.18:12-13;Lev.20:19.
e. Unholy sexual activities with one's uncle:Lev.18:14.
f. Unholy sexual activities with one's daughter -in - law:Lev.18:15;Lev.20.12.
g. Unholy sexual activities with one's brother's wife:Lev.18:15;Lev.20:21.
h. Unholy sexual activities with a mother and grand daughter:Lev.18:17.
i. Unholy sexual activities with two sisters:Lev.18:18.
j. Unholy sexual activities with one's sister - in - law :Lev.20:21.
k. Unholy, immoral sexual activities with one's grandchild, relative
6.Sexual intercourse undertakings during one's menstruation:Lev.20:18;Lev.18:19.
7.Anal sex practices or  8.Oral sex practices.
9.Harlotry promotions, practices and visitations(1Cor.6:9).
10.Nude beaches promotions, practices and visitations "nude beaches are existing presently in some western countries".

.

Face it too It can ALL NOW also led to someone having demonic spiritual husband/wife and children IN REALITY WHO STILL EVEN FALSELY THINK THEY ARE Christians.
.

And there is no place in the Bible that conclusively says Christians can't be possessed. But, on the contrary, there are passages that do indicate that demon possession of believers CAN occur when they backslide from God.
.

1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

.

To sum up what we learned above, we know Satan and devils do exist, we know they are unembodied spirits that work in the spiritual realm, they desire to and are able to indwell humans (also animals) and influence their bodies and minds for evil, they vary in power and authority, but all are more powerful than man, and they can be controlled or cast out by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ if you confess your sins and turn your life to Jesus, all of it..
.
As per "my biggest demons would have too be alcohol lust and swearing" or "sexual lusts" means you have not died to self, have not taken up your Cross, you still do not have the fruit of the holy spirit, the filling of the holy Spirit, to over come the lust of the flesh.. Admit your sins, confess them and become Holy Spirit Baptized.. the only way you can be delivered from these demons

.

Demons have been here since the beginning of human history.  The same demons that infiltrated the antediluvian civilization in the days of Noah are alive and active today.  They have infiltrated every area of life from childhood to adulthood, from play to marriage, from sports to work.  They EVEN DO falsely seek to destroy Marriage Culture,

.

 In 1 Corinthians 6 and 7, Paul reprimanded the Church, the Christian  strongly for their marital infidelity. 1 cor 6:1 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 12    All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Hell is a real place where those who go there are “tormented day and night forever and ever;” not a temporary holding place, not a place where the unjust suffer for a time and then fade into nonexistence.

Possession is only one of the  common type of demonic attack and the Possession of even professing Christians is not as rare as some imagine, mind you they will likely too quickly say I am the one possessed and not themselves ehh Funny...      

.

Deliverance and Demon Possession is not a popular topic especially amongst those who are clearly posts. Christians can receive deliverance from the demon. The last decade has seen a major shift by Evangelicals away from a belief that Christians could not be demonized or demon possessed to a dominate view that a child of God can be demon possessed and thus may need periodic deliverance.

.

Is demon possession rare? Not according to scripture! Mark 1:34, "...cast out many devils..." Luke 4:41, "...devils also came out of many..." Acts 8:7, "For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them..." Mark 6:13, "...they cast out many devils..." Matthew 8:16, "...they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils..."

.

Jesus sent fourth 70 disciples to preach the gospel and cast out demons, and they returned full of joy as they could see that this was a very real and important ministry. Now for Jesus to send out 70 men and they come back with praise reports of deliverances... that tells us that even though they were on foot, there were plenty of people in their area that needed deliverance! Luke 10:17, "And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name."

.

The Bible speaks of different ranks of demons (Eph 6:12), and Jesus taught His disciples that some demons were so strong that they required a level of faith to cast them out that was only obtainable through prayer and fasting (Mark 9:29).

.

Aren't all demons the same? Absolutely not; they all have their own personalities, just like people do. There are different demons that serve different functions, such as some people are doctors while others are lawyers, etc. Some demons cause loss of hearing and loss of eyesight (Mark 9:25), while others cause infirmities, and others cause fear and depression (1 Samuel 16:14, "Now the Spirit of the LORD had left Saul, and the LORD sent a tormenting spirit that filled him with depression and fear." -NLT).

.

Do demons have names? Yes they do, just like God's holy angels have names (Luke 1:19, Judges 1:9). Often, the name of a demon will give you a clue as to what it does, the function it preforms, or the role it plays. Some of the demons in the Bible are known as deaf, dumb, infirmity, etc. (Mark 9:25, Luke 13:11).

.

Can demons return to the person whom they left? Yes Jesus warns the 'wicked generation' (sinners) that the demon can return with 7 even worse demons and if you go back and re-open the door(s) that let the demon in, you are re-welcoming him back in.

.

It is interesting that some people falsely do oppose the deliverance   Ministry for any Christians and they have  chosen to sit in the seat of God to judge others but not themselves .

.

Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

.

and what Christians can be demon possessed  too?

.

Now some women and men falsely want to preach and teach others when they clearly have never been called by God directly to do so even here.. .

.

By the way I am always confident that when I preach a God given truth that the devil will send one of his followers, likely a possessed persons to try to discredit what was said.. and they lie that we are not to judge our fellow Christian brothers for what they do and say while they do it is so hypocritical now too.

.

There is no such thing as living in a world in which individuals are not being judged by others for the actions that they take or what they say. Making a statement such as, “you cannot judge me”, is ludicrous. A Christian person still can judge another Christian’s individual’s behavior or actions, writings, speech but not the intent of any individual’s heart. Only God can do that.. But God alone will judge the non Christians, not us, and we cannot judge what other people do eat as being right or wrong.; Now also if you yourself now cannot judge what people are like so how can you see the devil then too?

.

(1 Cor 4:21 KJV) What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?

.

Prov 27:5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.

.

Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.;

.

Of course the devil does not want you to have the gift of discernments of Spirits.. if the devil cannot get at you personally he will next come to you directly in the form of a bother, sister even, a person..

.

(2 Cor 2:11 KJV) Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.; “

.

Now no one still  takes the place of God in my life.. and they  never will..

.

Deliverance and Demon Possession is not a popular topic especially amongst those who are clearly possessed through pride or whatever..

.

Yes even Christians can receive deliverance from the demon. The last decade has seen a major shift by Evangelicals away from a belief that Christians could not be demonized or demon possessed to a dominate view that a child of God can be demon possessed and thus may need periodic deliverance.

.

Let God Judge them? I used to think like you.. But God already did and many times has asked me personally to go to the pastors and to ask them to repent of special sins and about 10 percent do, the rest go on with their evil ways and next eventually even found in church pastors were removed, lost their church..it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands into the living God. ..

.

Biblical repentance is admitting one sins to God, stopping and consciously turning away from them, turning back toward God, and personally accepting Jesus Christ finished work, forgiveness for them. Bow God has commanded all men everywhere to repent.. True repentance is confession, contrition, change; replacement and it involves the whole person, Our Body, Soul, Spirit. It is also a personal, ongoing event. Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.;While submission of one to another, or sharing , is voluntarily, unenforceable, and is a direct commandment of God there are many professing Christians, other Persons who think they now also are good, godly persons yet they still are actuality demon possessed, as evident by their self centeredness, false self pride, their lack of forgiveness towards others now too.. and they do exhibit the demonic controlling spirit even under the false guise of privacy, Also now you can also be sure there is a great abundances of other sins, wrong doings in their life, cause once they had opened the door to the devil he next took the whole house.. And call it what you may it is still a power hungry, controlling, oppressing evil spirit in them.

You might no have spiritual discernment but I as a pastor do and I can easily spot a wolf in sheep clothing.. Now some people lie to me when to me when they had had  said Jesus did not  rebuke anyone openly.. so did the Apostles rebuke people openly. Even if some  does not. Some possessed people even claim  that they are .I am baptized in the Holy Spirit and have the gift of discernment and prophesy.. big deal I say to them..  rather  then show your real Christianity.. not merely in words.. I would rather see a sermon preached over just hearing one preached.. I have now cast out of demons from Christians, even a Pastor's daughter..

.

Matthew 7:15, 16 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits

.

Eccl 10:7 KJV I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.

.

 Christians can inherit curses from parents; Christians need deliverance from certain kinds of sins in addition to the forgiveness received at salvation; Christians need to speak or do things to protect themselves and their loved ones from the demonic; Christians can boss Satan around by rebuking, binding, taking authority over him, or running him out of town, usually by sundown, all in the name of Jesus; demons occupy territories because of specific sins of those people which supposedly have given a basis for the demonic stronghold, instead of by permission of the sovereign will of God. Matthew 18:18: "Truly I am telling you, whatever you may bind upon the earth shall be that which has already been bound in heaven; and whatever you may loosed upon the earth shall be that which has already been loosed in heaven" (literal translation).

.

 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, ... In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, {constantly} nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following (1 Tim. 4:1,6).

.

 It was Christ who said, "You will know them by their fruits." And Christ went on to say, "Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord." shall even enter the kingdom of heaven next.”” Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my father who is in heaven." Which includes manifesting the fruit of the holy Spirit. 

.

2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

.

Ephesians 5":9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 

.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. — 1 John 4:1

.

Accusation of Believers: One of most despicable method of demon attack is reserved entirely for believers. Satan, and his followers , engages in   includes accusing them before to God.and men.. something Jerry clearly does not hesitate to do.. but he still does not like me judging the others. Accusation of personal wrong doing is often a false tool carried out by some others to try to make you to be subject to them, a form of slavery, a sad approach..

.

Not surprisingly many prideful people try to take the place of God in my life too, AND these imposters claim even that they have been chosen, designated by God to command over me, THAT  I am required into forced submission to their whims, desires , commands. But funny God now himself has not revealed those facts as well to me BUT  only to them. I put my trust in God and not in man..

.

AND WHEN YOU DO NOT DO WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO THESE SAME RATHER LITTLE BAD CHILDREN INSULT YOU, SLANDER YOU, DIVORCE YOU, OSTRACIZE YOU, BAD MOUTH YOU.

.

Be strong with the Lord’s mighty power. Eph 6:10

.

And

.

Do not overwork to be rich;
Because of your own understanding, cease!
Will you set your eyes on that which is not?
For riches certainly make themselves wings;
They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.
PROVERBS 23:4-5 NKJV
.
Rather seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his holliness
.
... and holy living is only possible if you are a Real Christian, pray, read the Bible everyday and are filled with the Holy Spirit and still..
.
1 Kings 8:46 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
.
Ecclesiastes 7:20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

Sin is like a bird that sits on your head, but you do not let it stay there.. as you and your carnal, lustful body are now to be counted as dead, and alive only to Jesus

1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
.
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

.

 

 James tells us, “You do not have because you do not ask”.  so daily pray, read the Bible and claim God's promises there in

.

 What keeps you from claiming the “territory” that God wants you to have? What is holding you back from acting on His Bible promises? How long will you neglect to possess the Full  land, which God has given you?  Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.12 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. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;     

.

Joshua 18:3 Joshua said to the Israelites: “How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has given you?

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.”” (Jeremiah 17:9-10)

.

 ..It was Christ who said, “You will know them by their fruits.” And Christ went on to say
.

Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord.” shall even enter the kingdom of heaven next.”” Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my father who is in heaven.” Which includes manifesting the fruit of the holy Spirit. .But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, … In pointing out these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, {constantly} nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine which you have been following (1 Tim. 4:1,6). .2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. .Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, .Ephesians 5″:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) .Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.— 1 John 4:1 .

Many in their pride will not let them admit they have been deceivers and have been deceived.. .. these bad persons they really should not even be on the net preaching to others till they getmatured, wiser. .When you oppose and criticize openly some of these very the bad persons one next still tends to get a false denial, a remark in response like you are crazy, you need professional help. They still really cannot face the reality there are things in their life that need serious, drastic changes.
.
These people in denial are the ones who often need professional help for their own short comings, sickness. Their false denial, diversion, distortion does not change the negative reality about their own unacceptable acts. These People in the state of false denials, clearly also who lie often, they do now also tend to have severe personal, mental disorders next even cause one tends to eventually believe next ones own lies as being the truth, and they can no no longer differentiate their own lies from reality, the truth. By their false denials Who is fooling whom? You cannot fool all the people all the time and now matter how smart you are there is still someone more wiser who can see the truth still too.. .Most of these people with their personality disorders may not perceive that there is anything wrong with their behavior and thus they are not motivated to change it. It is important to note that these personality disorders are considered to have their onset in late adolescence or early adulthood and they alone are responsible for it too.
.
Again false Denial, it is very very common when many an individual are openly confronted with the truth they do not like so that they resort to a false denial. When confronted with the truth the denier they often respond with a similar personal counter attack remark as ”you are crazy”. “I reject your reality… and substitute my own.” Their false denial, diversion, distortion does not change the negative reality about themselves still though. Sadly it is a negative natural human tendency to devolve into denial.” It’s not just a moral compass that’s lacking, but the ability to honest, or to stand apart. Denial often comes out of a false pride, a fear of being openly exposed as being wrong. Denial is a false convenient escape, excuse for inaction for persons now facing a situation that requires a decision or action that conflicts with his or her established past policy. .Denial too often can be further disastrous upon themselves and others.. for denial is not seeing data at all or seeing it and coming to an erroneous conclusion within oneself.
.
One’s false denial is often based on their own severe personal failure next due to a personal disconnect with real life. Illustrated fully by the story of the Emperor with new clothes. .False Denial (also called abnegation) is a often defense mechanism in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and  rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence, a mechanism of the immature mind that conflicts with the ability to learn from and cope with reality. The subject may now deny the reality of the unpleasant fact altogether (simple denial), admit the fact but deny its seriousness (minimization) or admit both the fact and seriousness but deny responsibility (transference).
.
The concept of denial is particularly related to the denial of one’s addiction to alcohol for example, or to one slandering others, abusing them stealing, lying.. their denial or their minimization of their own wrong doings is the essential part of what enables them next to to continue his or her behavior in the face of evidence that, to an outsider, that is overwhelming. “The American Heart Association cites denial as a principal reason that treatment of a heart attack is delayed. Because the symptoms are so varied, and often have other potential explanations, the opportunity exists for the patient to deny the emergency, often with fatal consequences. It is common for patients to delay mammograms or other tests because of a fear of cancer, even though this is clearly maladaptive.” .
.
Types of Denial include now Denial of fact: This form of denial is where someone avoids a fact by lying. This lying can take the form of an outright falsehood (commission), leaving out certain details in order to tailor a story (omission), This form of denial involves avoiding personal responsibility by blaming, minimizing or justifying. Denial of responsibility: Denial of impact: avoiding thinking about or understanding the harms their behavior have caused to themselves or others. Denial of awareness: they do not admit any previous awareness of the negative reality. Denial of cycle: Denial of cycle is where a person avoids looking at their  decisions leading up to an event or does not consider their pattern of decision making and how harmful behavior is repeated. Denial of denial: This latter form of denial typically overlaps with all of the other forms of denial, but involves more self-delusion. People in a false denial are really nuts, delusional.. .There are tools and practices that we can implement to overcome the psychological trap of anyone’s false denial. .The Public exposure and prosecution of the guilty is one of the best approach serving everyone’s best interest too. .

 Matthew 5:3: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

 JAMES 5:1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.  2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth eaten.  3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.  4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.  5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.  6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.  7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.  8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.  9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.  10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.  11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.  12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.  13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.  14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:  15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.  16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.  17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.  18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.  19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;  20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
