Touchy subject. No one in America wants to think they have demons, most have too much pride and/or self righteousness, and never get free. Some say Christians can not have demons, some say they can.
Some say the Gifts are no longer in use, some say they were only used by the disciples.
I know without a shadow of doubt that I was given the gift discernment of spirits, and he has used it over and over in my life. I prayed and fasted for a long time for him to reveal without a shadow of doubt, about what gift(s) I received. That is a whole separate testimony.
The vast majority of the discernments he has shown me, have been in church, many in leadership, and its not always a demonic discernment, thankfully.
Its touchy here in this country, UK too, yet when I dealt with demons in Africa, all the people understood what they are and just wanted to be freed.
How many of you have experienced, in person, demons, strongmen, in spiritual warfare?
I won't watch the video, I wouldn't recommend even opening that door. If they can get a grip on your finger, they already have you up to your elbow before you realize your finger was where it shouldn't be. Stop looking up demons on Youtube!!!!
I know that a daughter of Abraham had a demon, a spirit of infirmity. She was a daughter of Abraham, a woman of faith without fear. Luke 13:10-17
Do I believe a true, all in, Christian can be "possessed" "owned" by a demon or many, No.
Do I believe a true, all in, Christian can have a area where they were deceived, are under the influence of a demon, Yes. I have seen it. Many call this a stronghold, some are personal, some are area, race, cultural, etc.
It would be ignorant to think they aren't in your church. Their goal is to keep you from knowing Jesus. If that fails they try to keep you from serving him effectively. Satan already has unbelievers, why waste most of your time and effort on something you already have?
We Americans tend to greatly underestimate the kingdom of Satan. It is organized, undivided, and relentless. It is nothing to mock, it is as serious as it gets.
You don't have to believe me. If you have a area in your life, business, family, etc., and you have prayed and fasted over it, but it won't go away, treat it like its a demon, a person without a body. Call things for what they are. Call a Spade a Spade, not a Agricultural Instrument and you will see.
I know this may look extreme, especially in a society that does not believe in spirits at all, and I am in NO WAY a "deliverance minister" or anything associated with them, or associated with any denomination or specific doctrine. Jesus is my teacher and his word is my guide.
P.S. Just to get you thinking, as thinking is so important in our walk with our Father, ponder this.
There was a man on a train, he remained silent. The person across from him jumped up and said "You convict me of sin." That is how filled with God this man was. Later in his life, he got sick, went to the hospital and it looked bleak. That is until a man walked in that room and expelled a demon of sickness off of him. This man who was sick, who is revered even to this day, allowed himself to be deceived and it nearly cost his life. This mans name was Smith Wrigglesworth.
