I watched a lot of videos and read books where it said that while a person is being delivered, the demon comes out of the mouth and it's like the person is throwing up. How come when I cast out demons or watch a video of a preacher casting out demons, I don't feel anything?

Please don't answer if you are an unbeliever with "go see a doctor." I want real answers from Christians.

It is better to attend deliverance ministries, in person, first. You can learn from the leadership what is happening. If you see the same stuff later, you'll better recognize it.

Sounds intense. I just became that much more grateful for the kind of service for which God has made me useful. Whew. Scary, considering I've had my mild encounters. Thank you for your gift!

I have never heard of such a thing. And I've read 100's of tracts.

If you cast a demon out of someone else, why would you feel anything outside of a possible adrenaline rush...?
That is a function of the gift of discerning of spirits. You need to be able to confirm expulsion.

That doesn't seem to square with the accounts of exorcism in the Gospels and Acts. From those narratives, it seemed clear to many witnesses that the demons were exorcised, and most of these witnesses did not have the Holy Spirit at the time. It was a sign to the unbelievers that the Kingdom of God had come upon them.

Real demonic possession appears to be a very rare thing. Demonic oppression might be a bit more common, but still not overly so. I do not know if there is any sure way to know if someone has been delivered, other than to see over a period of time if their life has changed.
