"You can be oppressed to some degree, but if you are a Christian, neither the devil nor a demon can ever take control of your life.
The millions of Christians through the ages who have had demons cast out, would beg to differ from your false theology. As would the millions of demons that still reside within gullible Christians hosts.
You obviously have no personal experience of demonic warfare, so have to paste other people's opinions.
Having cast thousands of demons out, all from Christians, I can guarantee you are wrong.
IF you are FIRST fully grounded already in the fundamental truths of God's Word, read: https://www.amazon.com/Adversary-Christian-Versus-Demon-Activity/dp/0802401430
Rather than having a personal experience you again refer to other people, which shows that despite pontificating, you actually know nothing about the subject.
This is utterly infantile superstitious scaremongering waffle, obviously from someone who understands nothing first hand about deliverance.
I have witnessed children casting demons out, and you are obviously terrified.
I have taught the most inexperienced Christians how to cast demons out.
Again someone wanting to appear knowledgeable, when he knows nothing.

Daydreaming means you are bored. Idle hands are the playground for Satan, so it has been said.
Stop dreaming and come back to reality. There are a lot of people who need help in this realm.
Be blessed.

Don’t forget that God The Father is Sovereign. It sounds like your being attacked. Christ is our hope.

Paul was oppressed by a demon, though people try to deny it.

He was given a thorn in the flesh, a messenger from Satan, to buffet him.

The Greek word for buffet, means to punch, or strike, and angels are called messengers - sickness never is called such - so a messenger from Satan would be a fallen angel aka a demon, that oppressed- not possessed - Paul.

The first thing is to study Ephesians 6 on spiritual warfare, make sure you have put on all the armor of God.

Then use your authority as a believer, to resist the devil.

When unwanted daydreams or images come in your mind, speak this out loud: Satan I resist, reject, and rebuke these unwanted thoughts, and bind them from continuing, in the name and authority of Jesus Christ - loose these attacks now.

You may have to do that several times a day for awhile, but over time the frequency should gradually diminish, then be gone for a while - but expect Satan to probe your defenses from time to time, to see if you will keep on standing your ground.

Blessings and shalom.

You've got to be joking!
Going to a doctor for spiritual help is the last place anyone should consider.

It is incredibly irresponsible to try to diagnose someone's mental condition on an Internet forum.

Doctors don't even believe that having spiritual problems is possible. Except some christian ones.

Francis Drake, You speak much out of ignorance. It is a waste of time to say any more, but others who are being deceived by your words should be made aware and should check certified authorities on the subject, IF unavoidably needed. Those who lean toward the Catholic persuasion have one understanding of these things and on the Protestant another due to the Supreme and exclusive power and authority given the Catholic leaders. I can see that some fringe Christian denom.s and certain Orthodox might lean toward your understanding, also, but I, and very many others, understand it as I have presented it and if you are watching there have been a good number of likes/agrees under my posts.

Stop puffing yourself up. Dealing with the dark side is no way performed successfully in the manner with which you are behaving.

I agree with him because i have experiences also, people with 'opinions only' can't tell someone who experienced this stuff they are wrong. Also what he says is very biblical.

Just get close to God and the Holy spirit, be filled with him, pray a lot, then you are going to start discerning more spiritual stuff including demons and evil spirits, also the devil attacks people who are closer to spiritual truths/God, but he likes to people to just ignore him for the most part, they are not going to attack a person in an obvious manner if they don't believe, because that only can direct them to God, and they prefer to hide.

I passed through doctors and they could barely help, if you are out of control because some spiritual problem the best they can do is drug you up to calm you, also i agree that there is conditions where medicine can help, Jesus can do a lot better than doctors though, and when doctors fail the gospel just can keep helping.

I think they are referring to mental problems, not every issue is spiritual. People can have spiritual, mental and or physical problems.

I believe he or one of his subordinates may be working on deceiving you, and this belief/fear that you have of him being in you already is part of the deception. They don't have to literally be inside of you to slip you a lie, and if that lie takes root and confuses your mind, your own mind does their work for them.

Consume the truth of God to push this stuff out. The best source of this will be the New Testament.

Hi Joshua,

Have you remembered this :

31 "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat,
32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail.
AND WHEN YOU HAVE TURNED AGAIN, strengthen your brothers."

33 Peter said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death."
34 Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me."

Joshua, even if Satan demanded to have you and be sifted like wheat.
Remember the loving kindness of the Lord’s reply !
Turn again like Peter who cried in true contrition and repent wholeheartedly!
As you have heard in Peter’s epistles of how he strengthen his brothers as the Lord have told him, —- Joshua, receive the Lord’s grace of repentance for He has told you to turn again to His side !

Joshua,
Your experience/dream may sound crazy or insignificant to some people, but if it bothers you, then it is worth processing.
Have you ever tried understanding why you are dreaming this way?

You mentioned it's a daydream. Allow me to ask you this question: is it like a forced thinking or it just captivate your mind and put you in a trancelike or semi trancelike state?

Some dreams, may be contain a message. Some are just suppressed thoughts while some dreams are just nothing but a normal expression of our subconscious mind, and they mean nothing.

Pray and ask God to guide you in understanding what your dream means.

Take care.

There seems to be some myth that if your not saved Satan/demons can enter you any time they want. That is not true. No one controls us unless we allow it. An unbeliever has no power over the enemy. If you know Jesus as lord.. take control. Its your body not his. He is not in you. You can only serve one master. Rebuke him in Jesus name. Remind him that greater is he that is in you than he thats in the world.

Remind him that Christ gave you ALL Power/Authority over the enemy and NOTHING shall by any means hurt you. Remind him that the joy of the lord is your strength. Remind him God has not give you the spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind.

Now.. ANYTHING the enemy has said.. is a LIE! He can not tell the truth. Read John 3:16 and Rom 10:9-10 again. Just tell those thoughts to go in JESUS name.. and they will. Resist the devil and he HAS TO FLEE.

By the BLOOD OF JESUS... in Jesus name

That comment illustrates your complete lack of spiritual understanding.
