I think there is a spiritual war going on. Everyone I know senses something is wrong. The angel Michael defeats Satan and confines him to Earth. Maybe that’s why we are seeing so much more evil now.
Nope. The Apostle Paul, wrote about it over 20 centuries ago. It has been going on since the beginning and will continue on until the end.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. - Ephesians 6:10-12
There is no reason America and her Christian people should be exempt from this spiritual scourge.
I don’t think you are far off. But God’s purposes will not be thwarted. Maybe that is why so many on the left ridiculed prayer. Prayer is powerful.
Well I have met a couple possessed people before, you could see it in their eyes and mannerisms. If you mentioned Christ in front of them it would send them into a tailspin.
Excellent response, refreshed!
While people may have a casual curiosity as to just what occurred that fateful day - it is much more important to see that their own fates are sealed through coming to Christ for eternal salvation.
Without Christ, anyone is subject to great oppression by Satan but thank God that His Word assures us, “greater is he (the God of creation) that is in you (us), than he that is in the world (the god of this world)” (I John 4:4).
In the wake of the Texas tragedy, those that gave their lives would be truly blessed that their sacrifices led to some lost sinner coming to the One that said that that those that believe in Him would not perish but have everlasting life!”
What a wonderful day when you all meet on heaven’s bright shore!
Yes, I think possession is real. Years ago I wasn’t sure...until Charles Manson. If there was ever a demon looking out through a human’s eyes, Manson is it. The first time I saw Manson on TV I recoiled. It was a physical thing that almost made me ill. I had to turn away and not look because my reaction was so strong.
Psychotropic drugs given to youngsters?
I’d like to see a study of recent mass killers versus such drugs given or prescribed.
Demons or drugs - what’s the difference?
God kicked Satan out of Heaven and a third of the angels went with him. That means for every angel that follows Satan, there are two who follow God. And, yes, I believe in demonic possession.
Of course there are demons. And of course we’re facing spiritual battle.
Unfortunately we in the West face that spiritual battle using politics instead of the tools that the Lord gave us to use. We seem to think we can battle evil using the tools that evil uses and somehow come up the victor. And then we’re shocked, SHOCKED when it doesn’t work out that way.
See tag line.
Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.
If someone doesn’t believe in demon possession, he/she can’t be a Christian. Its existence is clear in the Bible. To be a Christian you must believe ALL of the Bible — verbal and plenary. It’s not a Chinese menu to pick and choose what parts you want to believe.
I grew up with foreign missionaries frequently living in our home during their furloughs, and the stories they told left no doubt about demons and possession. In our dorm in Seminary, we had an issue that emanated from the Missions Professor’s office and an artifact he had brought from Africa.
And then there are Democrats.
Amen.
Same here. I believed there was a satanic force out there before I came around to believe there was a God.
There's here now. Before Christ, there was no defense against demons. Today, His name casts them out just as the demoniac in Luke lost his demons to pigs. They are always looking for a host. I think we are seeing it today with the guy who killed 9 in a black church, the Vegas shooter, and now this guy in the Texas church. Of course they are all around us, but these stand out.
Again, the church is the problem. We have allowed prayer to be removed from school, We have allowed sodomy today. We murder babies and there is barely a peep. We vote for baby killers if they promise $5 more on Social Security. 2 Chron 7:14 is still in effect, but we have grown used to evil as Lot did at the gates of Sodom. It will be interesting to see the reaction to Roy Moore in Alabama. Trump has a team of prayer warriors in the WH who prays with him and for him everyday. Is he popular?
Jesus tells us it will be "as it was in the days of Noah" when He comes back. Is evil bad enough today to compare with demons murdering, raping, and robbing everyone on earth? The Nephilim were walking, talking, murdering demons, and the Bible says ALL flesh had been corrupted but Noah. The Ark was the way out and represents the Rapture today. Scripture doesn't say things get better down here. If we can't effect change, Jesus will come and change it. Ask yourself how we would be received if we marched in the streets demanding gay marriage be reversed, abortion must stop, and prayer brought back to school children. It's getting late, people.
You are awake Pinochet,
And yes it is and yes we are seeing a steady increase in this activity,
By that I mean not just increasing death and violence, just look at how the corrupt MSM and world leaders are behaving versus just a few short years ago and how they are practically foaming with hatred against the truth and anyone who speaks in the name of Jesus, they no longer pretend to hide it or even care if they can be seen for what they are.
There is no actual political opposition to their demonic authority, evil Romney, corrupt McCain and the NWO anti-Christ Bush family are all surrendered to these powers and its how they derived their authority in the first place, they know when to stand up and when to stand down to serve it,
While this has always been true, what is different now is that more and more people are able to recognise this, as if a curtain has been pulled back or a light has been shown in onto a dark place,
This is very dangerous for this world because only one authority can do that to Satans kingdom, the Holy Spirit. And this would not be happening in this manner if some action wasn’t soon to be forthcoming (I of course of have no idea what or when) and Satan knows this far better than we can ever presume to know it in the flesh, looking through a glass darkly,
We all must pray for understanding, Jesus said see that you be not deceived,
Have you read that Satan is the accuser? From where does he do his accusing, according to scripture?
Not only is demon possession real, but their is a huge increase in recent demonic activity.
I’ve never seen it this active in the 30 years that I have been doing spirit releasement work.
I’m not the most religious man, but I believe what I believe, and I had a vivid dream about this last night. Bear with me, it is kinda weird. I was dreaming that I was in a group of people being attacked by vampires. None of the traditional methods worked against them. They just kept coming. Finally, we were able to trap them in a room that had a balcony level going all around it at the top. From the balcony, we started sharing God’s Word. This immediately destroyed the vampires. We then tried to tell authorities how to fight the vampires, but they didn’t want to hear what we had to say. I’ve never had a dream like that, so I don’t know if God is trying to tell me something or what.
I think he usually is, to most all of us.
He just sent you an unusually clear message!
