  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I am scared.

Lately, I saw my brother in his room with a upside-down cross and the pentagram, along with him sometime turning North, east, south and west. Saying things like "Lucifer" "Lilith" "Leviathan" "Azazel" and sometimes I see red and black candles. I'm not dumb, I know what some of this means. But I don't know what to do about it. He's pricking his finger, writing things on paper and hiding it from our parents. He talks about being sick, and sometimes vomits. Says he has headaches and pains in areas.

Please help.

we're not allowed to give advice on getting rid of demons here in the advice forum. preach the gospel to your brother; the devil and his bunch just can't stand to stay around and hear it - and follow Jesus' example...

Mar 5:1-13 KJV
(1) And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
(2) And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
(3) Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
(4) Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
(5) And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
(6) But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
(7) And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
(8) For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
(9) And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
(10) And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
(11) Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
(12) And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
(13) And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand ;and were choked in the sea.
-emphasis above added by me

Joh 14:12 KJV
(12) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Joh 2:5 KJV
(5) His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

Jas 4:7-10 KJV
(7) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
(8) Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
(9) Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
(10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Serious business. This is no game, it is playing with fire. Maybe you can talk to him. Find out if there's anything bothering him. Encourage him to find a better way. If there is no change you probably will need to talk to your parents about this.

The bottom line that I would want you to know is that there is power in the name of Jesus. Jesus has already defeated the enemy, at the cross, from whence He proclaimed, "It is finished!" And the Bible says the devil has already been disarmed and paraded about in open shame (Col 2.15). Had the devil known what Jesus was doing on the cross, he never would have crucified the Lord of glory. But he completely underestimated the depths of God's sacrificial love for us. Now his time is short, and as believers we have delegated Throne Room authority over him.

Remember that when you are afraid, and also use it as the basis for praying for your brother's deliverance. This is the power behind the Jas 4.7 verse that Disciple quoted, and it is available to all who call on the name of the Lord from a sincere heart.

Sounds like he is trolling the internet for advice on satan-like stuff. What you describe is, someone shopping for shock and response . . . not even a remotely serious pagan. I have pagan friends and I have walked the darkest paths. . . your bro has all the earmarks of a wannabe. I'd look into why he wants to be "that" but if he is gimpy enough to do that nonsense, nobody whose name he is using is going to even send an underling to play with his soul.
