There really are NOT any signs of demon possession. For one person, they could act irraratic and crazy, but for someone else, they could act normal. |

Angels and fallen angels have all the same innate properties and powers, barring that the fallen cannot re-merge with the Spirit even as they have been ejected from it. Nearly all the 'gifts' they have taken as their own and can misuse. Simple as that. Be careful who you're inviting 'in' (and I'd suggest that be none, as you're already in the Spirit), and which angelic-type you take to be which (the spirit already in you from the first will know before you do which is which and guide you accordingly. Be prepared to take the armour and the sword when it's offered, and guard your 'heart'). |

Carla3939 said "well God can put an evil spirit on you as hedid Saul."
Carla, instead of scaring the person half to death, why don't you give them ALL of the facts surrounding the circumstances of WHY God ALLOWED an evil spirit to come upon Saul?
First, sin opens the door for an evil spirit to enter a person. Sins such as fornication, adultery, lying, stealing, murder, anger, etc.,
Second - God put an evil spirit on Saul because of HIS SIN of Rebellion. He was told NOT to bring anything out of the land and he brought animals out and then justified his sin instead of confessing it.
Saul also tried many times to kill God's anointed King, David before he was King. SIN is why God did what He did to Saul. |

First, in order to be able to tell if someone has a demon controlling them you would need the gift of discerning of spirits.
Without that gift, you may not be able to discern if it's a demon or the person's pride or their flesh.
Signs of a demon controlling someone are: a root of resentment will tell you about everything that has happened to them from years ago - they can't forgive that person or persons but will say they do.
A spirit of Pride will never admit it is wrong. It will devour you if you say anything to them contrary to what they believe. It thinks it is always right, that it knows everything, and is not teachable. I am running out of space, sorry. |

Who will I believe whos report will I trust? Not Mans opinion BUT the WORD which stands pure and true.
Isa 26:3
Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee.
2Cr 13:11
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
Psa 71:9
Cast me not off in the time of old age, forsake me not when my strength faileth.
Isa 46:4
And [even] to [your] old age I [am] he, and [even] to hoar hairs will I carry [you]: I have made, and I will bear, even I will carry, and will deliver [you]. |

Cara: "I have always maintained that man made explanation for schizophrenia/mental disorders are forms of demon posession whether...chemical....physical"
Not entirely true. While some may be caused by demonic possession or oppression, others are purely physiological disorders that can be treated with proper medication (s). Many who have disorders (or illness) can live productive lives with proper help.
It is unwise to blame everything on demonic possession or oppression. It is also unwise to dismissed everything doctors and professionals have scientifically proven. There are rational, scientific explanation for all these disorders, but as Christians, we must realize that demonic forces may be at work.

I agree with Carla with one addition.This person also needs special prayer for deliverence from the demons from a person who has the spiritual gifts to do this and then to be led in the sinner's prayer and taught from the Bible. |

I am sorry, but I have to disagree with the post that mental illness is demon possession. Many and most with various mental illnesses may be treated with proper medication. Just because these people are ill, does not mean they are possessed. |

Sometimes glassy eyes & violence & uncontrollable anger. Seeming to have more than one personality. Hearing voices. Sudden uncontrollable urges of a destructive nature, such as a desire to kill. A sickness or disease. There are more signs.... |

Demon possession can manifest itself in different ways. I have always maintained that man made explanation for schizophrenia/mental disorders are forms of demon posession whether through chemical mental or physical means.
when the ability to think for oneself orderly and sane is possible that the demons use the opportunity to inhabit the mind and take over the individual.
A personality that is not mentored changed or persuaded by biblical standards are prey to demonic forces and it should be our duty to help such people to rehabilitate through the renewing of the mind hence through the washing of the word.

But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
Those who walk in darkness are demon possessed. |
