But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would. But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control; against such there is no law. And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof. If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk. Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another, (Galatians 5:16-26).
Selenah..in reading the Word, I do not recall one person, who, possessed by a demon, approached any of the Apostles or Yeshua, Himself, saying, "I have a demon, please cast it out." All were brought by others who cared for them. I recall an innocent being accused of demon possession in a congregation. He declared to them, "If I am demon possessed, I would be the last one to know! If anyone here truly sees a demon in me, by all means cast it out for the God I worship is the Author of order and not confusion, and He would never allow anyone to have the gift of discernment without also having given him the ability to cast out demons." What kind of congregation of Yahweh would go around saying, "Yikes, he has a demon," without having the ordered gift of ridding all present especially the possessed of that demon; that would be disorder, amen. (Yes, people in general knew or know when someone is not right or possessed, but when within a congregation of Yeshua one discerns, he should also have the gift of casting it out.)

pray and trust and faith enough that God will deal with the demons..
2 Peter 1
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Well, some people will willingly invite demons in, seeking to be possessed. I believe that was the case of Sean Sellers, the kid who murdered his parents in cold blood while they slept. He became involved in the occult, and not just wiccan or such things, but he wanted to delve into 'black magic'. He's in prison and has been a very active Christian for many years now. But he did seek demons out to possess him.
Also, keep in mind these two pairs of words... demonic oppression and demonic possession.
Demonic oppression - When a demon exerts an effect on you from outside of you. Such as tempting you to sin or a sudden feeling of depression, etc.
Demonic possession - When a demon is able to physically control an individual controlling their movements and speech whenever it desires to.

That's what's kind of concerning. I've tried talking to demons before and just weird stuff trying to see if they were real. It's really creepy. One time I even asked the devil for something and I got what I asked for. I get really paranoid. Like I see a bush in the dark and even though I'm pretty sure it's a bush I'm scared out of my mind that it's some sort of demon creature in a cape standing there watching me. I'm paranoid because I sometimes wonder if it's all in my head or if there's really demons controlling me. Like there's times I fight with my sister and I threaten to punch her in the face and beat her up. It's scary because I don't know if I'm serious or just talking. Fasting is the only thing that drains all the energy out of me so I don't get too mad. Then I've been having these dreams that are just scary like were I'm so scared of the monsters in my dreams that I dream about taking pills to sedate myself to escape them. Just last night I dreamed that I was trying to live my life up and take pictures of me having fun before I was going to die even though I didn't want to die. It's just weird and creepy scary. Anyways sorry that was a long ramble.
