  • 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.

"Entity" messing with my friend

Hello everyone.

Two days ago a friend I met recently at college and became close to revealed an aspect of his present life situation that prompted me to turn to this resource for help and advice. I will refer to him as B.

This year has been tough for him. His father passed away in April, his economical situation is not at its best and his mother, who is divorced to his father and had bipolar disorder, only makes everything worse with the way she aggressively discusses with him sometimes. In spite of this, B has remained strong and always repeats that "we have to stay positive", even if he has to say it with a glint of pain in his eyes.

I pray to God to look after him and I also beg him to keep my non-Christians friends like B in this world at least until the day they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, but since what I heard the day before yesterday I knew I really had to make the most of this weapon God gave us to battle against the Devil.

On the same day B received the news about his father, his mother called him to tell him something important. Apparently, her boyfriend has regular contact with an "entity" and this "entity" gives advice, for example on B and his twin brother's inheritance, and now it demands money as an offering. B is not a Christian and thinks this is all madness of his mother and her boyfriend, but it has already cost him his relationship with his half siblings, children of a former marriage of his father —the entity said they had to cut off any contact with them or they would end up on the street— and it is a torment to him how violent his mother becomes whenever he doesn't want to comply. In the end, however, he has to give in anyway because his mother still maintains him. I also asked him about it and it made me glad and I thank God that he has never had any supernatural experience, even with a mother that has always meddled in the occult.

So my concern about this is if and how much will these demonic demands escalate in the future. I will be very grateful if you could help as well to pray for B and his twin that God protect them from the hand of the Devil, that they can go through any hardship that may step in their way and for me, that God may work me to be a blessing to them and to all my friends who have not met Jesus yet.

God bless you.

I pray for you and your friends, that you all either stay with the Lord Jesus or come to Him in truth and in spirit (if not yet done so). I pray for protection from the occult and any "entity" that might be attacking or trying to influence any of you or them. I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Too much revelation on the part of Satan and demons often leads people to seek God's intervention, which the adversary obviously doesn't want. This situation could turn out to be a good thing, Romans 8:28. 1 John 4:4; Philippians 4:13; 2 Chronicles 20:15; and James 4:7 all come to mind. As Scotty said, Ephesians 6:10-18 should also be utilized. I would think this is a good time to seriously speak to Your friend about the spiritual warfare that is going on, and the "entity" that he is hearing about.
Regardless of whatever the enemy/entity does, we can control what we do, if not what always happens to us. Hebrews 13:5-6. What a person needs to do regarding the spiritual war that engulfs our planet, is that we are born into the family of the devil by default (John 8:44), and to "see" the kingdom of God we must be born again, John 3:3. God has a gift and has demonstrated His love for each individual, Romans 6:23; Romans 5:8. As individuals we make the choice of whether we want to believe or not, and whether we want to receive that gift or not (Deuteronomy 30:19; John 1:12; Romans 10:13). I would suggest you share these things with your friend, say the choice is up to them, and then invite them to pray with you immediately to receive Christ. If they aren't ready at that moment, let them know you will be willing to pray with them at a later time, or that they can do it alone if they prefer. Father, guide and direct this one and their friend on the proper course. Amen.
