Are demons around the world today? My preacher told me a story about his encounter with one:
A women came in the church starting trouble then she started screaming and curseing and my preacher told everyone without the holyghost to get out, then he um, I think he prayed or something, I forgot what he did, but the demon left her body and the stain glass window in the back of the church shattered in a bunch of pieces, and no one touched the window...
So are demons real threats?
Do they posses people and make them do bad things.?(Like Hitler killing all the Jews[and others] was really caused by the devil or demons)
And can the devil and demons do evil things today?

Yep, they sure can...if you're unprotected (aka you don't follow Jesus). Even then, sometimes Christians will encounter demons. But as long as you got the full armor of God on, you have authority.

Yes to all. They are very real. You don't normally of exocist movie type possessions but they can affect people that way. Some people use that as a scapegoat when they get caught doing bad. But they are as real as we are. They can affect peoples mind and even vex christians. They cause people to committ suicide and can cause alcholism and physical infirmities(sickness or disease). Don't take them lightly.

I'm not going to answer any questions except this: demons are real, and they do exist. Someone with more knowledge will tell you.

What I came to say was this: demons can be scary, and the devil can do some bad stuff, but only if you give place to them. The devil and his lackeys were defeated and paraded around like some captured king. He's scared to death of who's in you, and you have authority over him because of Him. The devil is a defeated foe, my friend. God has the power, and you've got the authority. Just the Word is enough to take him down. He's already lost since day 1 of his betrayal. Demons and the devil are only a threat if you let them be. He gets his power from us, as when we act in fear about him or glorify him, then he gains power. But if you don't yield to the devil, he won't get any power. The devil's dead. He's lost. A good habit to get into is to put some armor on everyday, too (Ephesians 6:12-20, I think). He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

As for your church "experience"... You've got a wise pastor.

they are very real and they are very subtle, demons do not look like anything on cartoons, they are decievers, in many cases people cannot see them, and they can also possess you, but its very subtle, you must always be watching your thoughts and stuff, and avoid secular tv and music.

Demons cannot possess everybody. A demon or devil cannot reside in a place where the Spirit of God resides (Holy Spirit)...it just can't happen. However, everybody can be oppressed by demons, possession and oppression are two different things.

Possession involves the demon taking control of the spirit and that person loses control of their thinking, actions, and emotions. A born again Christian CANNOT be possessed!

While oppression can affect your body and soul (mind,will,and emotions) tempting you to sin and causing you to fear. Bringing illness on you and pressuring you to do things that you know you should not do.

REMEMBER! When Christ died on the cross and was resurrected, He gave us FULL authority over these devils and demons. This power is contained in Jesus' name, you rebuke the demons in the name of Jesus Christ and they are bound to obey, this will send them fleeing in fear.

Yes, demons are real. Yes, they are among us.
They are Satan's warriors, set out to destroy those who do not have the full armor of God.

Yes they do. I had some and God delivered me from them. They are 100% active, 24/7 in the world today. They are everywhere.

Yes demons are real, but angels are real too! Jesus tells us that we don't have to be afraid or scared about anything. His angels are more powerful and they are always watching over you, protecting you. So don't be afraid. You have powerful angels around you. :)

"For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways." - Psalm 91:11

"Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you." - 1 Chronicles 28:20


God bless. :)

Correction: Christ gave us this authority while He was still with us. He did leave us with this authority over powers, principalities, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places.

Yes demons are very real, and yes something like that story can happen. Our pastor has cast demons out before and others around in neighboring churches have as well however dont get caught up in yourself. I know many people who think everyone who isnt saved or even a saved person who struggles with something that they consider "bad" is demon possessed but thats not the case. you will know if someone is possessed or just wants to cause trouble, some cant control that.

I think demons are definitely real, but humans attribute TOO MANY things to demons. Mental disorders, now proven to be a real physical problem, used to be believed to be a demon attacking you. People believe that any social, moral or emotional issue is a demon, and it's unsafe to attribute all of these things to demons, it takes the blame off the truly guilty: the human acting out crimes/sin.

It was scary when I didn't understand the power of Jesus but now it's not really scary. They are nothing compared to Jesus and they must obey him therefore I don't feel scared anymore. I see them sometimes. But you don't need to see them to see their evil works everywhere.

To put simply, demons are definately real.
I believe they are sometimes there to test your faith in the Lord.
A good friend of mine has once encountered a demon, it was the during night time and he had just gone to bed when he heard harsh breathing very close to his ear, he then immediately declared "the blood of Jesus Christ is on me" and the demon disappeared.
I've personally had a first hand experience too, again it was during night time and I had almost fallen asleep when i felt this really heavy atmosphere pushing against me, so I remembered my friend's experience and said out loud "The blood of Jesus Christ is on me" and then it was gone. SO yeah, there you have it, call me crazy, wacko or whatever, but I know demons are real.

That is quite the interesting story. I'll remember that quote for future reference.
