Demon possession

[Francis Drake]

Demons can't possess Christians. You are either imagining this or you haven't been born again.

Sorry Phoebe, but this is completely unbiblical.
I have been casting demons out of born again Christians for over 40 years, and it always amazes me that people still fall for the false ideology that Christians cannot have demons.

A landlord can own a house outright. However if the house has tenants, it is they who are in possession of that house and legally inhabit it.
Likewise with Christians, they might be redeemed by Christ, but until the previous inhabitants are evicted, they still dwell there.
And as with a house, if the owner indulges in wild parties and immoral activities, he is likely to find it inhabited by squatters who also claim rights.
That's what happens when Christians get into drugs, pornography, etc. It opens the door to demons.

Hi i believe I am demon possessed but I have seen a doctor who says I have schizophrenia what can I do. None of the medications the doctor has given me over the years work. The Demons speak through me and cause me great emotional pain. I am being oppressed please Help.........

Read Psalms 18 at least 3 times daily.
Call come prayer lines like tbn, daystar etc.
Getting hands laid on you by Holy Spirit filled people also helps. (Mark 16:17-18)

I note you are in NZ.
I strongly recommend you contact Ellel Ministries New Zealend.
Welcome | Ellel Ministries New Zealand / Aotearoa

They are a specialist deliverance ministry which started here in the UK in 1986 and are now in many nations.

I am sure there are other deliverance ministries around in NZ, but you'll have to seek them for yourself. At a very minimum I would recommend you check Ellel out and get some books or teaching stuff from them. It will help you greatly.

Not really. Greater is He that is in me!

Once you realize because God shows you your spiritual problems, then you can't say they can't get into christians, people just don't perceive them but they are there causing trouble until someone casts them out, christians just don't get free of all their spiritual problems when they convert, maybe God frees you of some things when you do, but probably a lot of problems are going to stay until solved.

I casted out demons from myself that i recognized i had from when i was a little kid and teenager, God needs to show those problem to us or else we won't realize we have them, all we could know is that there is somehting wrong with us.

If you are so immune to the devil and demons, what's the point of Peter's warning.-
1Peter5v8Be sober-minded; watch. Your adversary the devil prowls about as a roaring lion seeking whom to devour, whom you should resist, firm in the faith, knowing the same sufferings to be accomplished in your brotherhood throughout the world.
According to Peter, just like a lion, the devil might well devour unguarded Christians.

James takes a similar view.
James4v7Therefore subject yourselves to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and have purified hearts, you double-minded. 9Be grieved and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and the joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

The ideology that Christians cannot have demons dwelling within them is in itself a classic "Doctrine of demons", designed by them to make Christians vulnerable to their demonic infiltration.

Over the last 40 years, I have had first hand experience of casting demons out of foolish Christians who believed what you espouse.

 

[Manoah]

Im going to resist the devil.

 

[Francis Drake]

Im going to resist the devil.

Resisting the devil is not a passive thing. It is an aggressive and active stance.

We can resist a home invader at the front door with good locks and maybe a gun.
But if the home invader is already resident and occupying parts of the house, "resisting him" falls well short of the action needed.
Obviously at some stage the door was left wide open and someone walked in and made himself comfortable. That invader needs to be violently cast out into the street.

Resisting the devil, and casting demons out are not the same thing.
Deliverance should not really be a specialist ministry, but normal activity for all Christians, as we all have the power to drive these invaders out in the name of Jesus.

But if you want help, then as I said before, try contacting one of the deliverance ministries out there like Ellel ministries..

Not true. I have been inhabited by a demon and i am spirit filled and a tongue speaking woman of God.

Possession in Greek means to be inhabited not owned.

The three part temple..inner and outer courts were defiled. So can we but never our spirit. It is the Holy Of Holies.

 

[Natsumi Lam]

I now speak to demons who speak through me.

Just know that the Lord can deliver you!

I am praying for you now!

They have done that to me too.
