View Profile History	Demonic Possession.. Posted : 11 Feb, 2010 08:24 PM Hi Tandy! It's evil, wicked, mean and nasty. That's what I think about it. Seriously though, it occured throughout the scriptures so why do people have a hard time believing it still occurs today? It certainly does. But no human has the power to cast demons out today. Only God can do this. Of course this would take us into another topic if you want to go there. ;-) Blessings! Walter Post Reply

Posted : 11 Feb, 2010 11:22 PM Hey Walter!! :) I agree that it still happens today!! :) But I'm not quite clear on what you're referring to, sorry (unless it's the spiritual gifts, in that case, no I don't want to go there on this thread :] ). How do you (or anyone else) think one would go about getting rid of a demon? With love, T Post Reply
View Profile History	Demonic Possession.. Posted : 11 Feb, 2010 11:59 PM Well... when the Apostles were casting out demons, they simply rebuked it in the name of Jesus. There was an instance in which they couldn't get rid of a demon, though. I think it appears in Luke and Matthew... ok... (had to look up real quick. lol)... Matthew 17 and Luke 9. Jesus calls their generation unbelieving and perverse. Matthew records something else, though. He records the disciples actually asking Jesus why they couldn't drive out the demon. Here's his response: "Because you have so little faith." So, to drive out a demon in Jesus' name... you must simply have faith. Then... I guess you just tell it to get outta town. lol In Christ Garrett Post Reply

Posted : 12 Feb, 2010 02:59 AM Hi Tandy, I think if I were trying to help someone get rid of a demon I would start with a few days of fasting and prayer. I would then go into the presence of the person, but would not lay hands on them. I would start praying that the Father take it from them, and see where God led me. I truly believe in the power of prayer and have witnessed many miracles over the years from just that. I do not think that a true Christian can be demon possessed. If the Spirit of Christ lives in you, how can that space also contain an evil spirit? Just my thoughts, Leon Post Reply

Yes we have the authority in the name of Jesus Christ to cast out demons. We were given the authority over them to do so! That authority didn't just go away! I will be glad to share my experiences with this if anybody wants to discuss it. Post Reply

Posted : 12 Feb, 2010 07:04 AM I'm sure some people are still possessed, even though I think Satan refrains from doing it as much anymore(or is more subtle about it), because it would be a obvious sign the God and Satan actually exist...and it would defeat his current strategy...which is to blind people to the existence of God. :peace::peace: Post Reply

Posted : 12 Feb, 2010 11:18 AM Hi Tandy, I don't think you can get into any depth into this discussion without going into the area of "gifts" as it was a gift given to specific people through the laying on of hands by the one of the 12 Apostles. I think it would be good to also discern the difference between demon Possession and demon Oppression. Blessings! Walter Post Reply
