A person who is born again has the HS in them

a domon and Holy Spirit can not enter the same body

since the seal of the spirit is until the day of redemption, it would be importable for a demon to posses a child of God

however, like someone said earlier, they can oppress a believer.
The spirit can not dwell in the same body as a demon ?...

Ok how does a person become free of a demon then ?

are you also saying that if a person is possessed by a demon they havent got the spirit.
This is my dilema because youll all agree a born again christian will still sin.
Sin is sin and so is getting drunk and taking drugs. but funny enough drugs and drink cause just as much damage to the mind and makes it become unsound just as much as devoloping a natural mental health disorder, that can come from denomic oppression.
Most people dont know there present, thats why they go mad. i suspect that born again christians would fail to regognise denomic oppression to as and when it happens.
i know i have befor today. and i know im born again.

so how come the commandment to christians to keep your house in order or keep yourself clean in the body is written or dont drink to much
i know i dont have to tell you this, but ill say it anyway. its so you dont get reposessed.

Theres are many more references i can pull up here.
me personally i dont feal you lose the spirit or go to hell if you become reposessed after you have become a christian. but your statement suggests we do.

What would you say the number of people is who are possessed befor they become born again. theres evidence from the bible and history that its really verry high.

what ive found is since i became born again and learnt how to defeat demons i have been attacked more than ever.

Sin is not from demon possession. If people claim it is. they are excusing their sin.

Can God and Satan possess the same body? If you think they can, can you explain how please?

1 Corinthians 16:13-14

13 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. 14 Do everything in love
Luke 15:7 7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
The devil is your enemy, and he goes around like a roaring lion looking for someone to attack and eat.” Time and time again, the Bible has always defined our enemy-The devil. His tricks and traits have been well enlisted. Here, Peter tells us that he is like a roaring lion looking for meat to eat. But this lion is toothless.

A warning to all christian concerning the enemy
1 Peter 5:6-11 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 8Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 10And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

This above is over whelming evidence the enemy can reposess a christian. and im only just getting started.

Ive seen this responce befor. on one hand people who use this argument befor. on one hand people will say christian will still sin but on the other hand they say none chrsitian will blame the devil for there sin.
in my book sin is sin however you come to do it.

anyway the devil is very deceptive. theres hundreds of ways to sin and fall from grace. one of them is presumptous sinning falsley acusing etc. the other thing to note here is a demon loves a religous argument.which can come from denomic oppresion and or possession.
So how many religouse aruments are there going on in this place and how long have you been having one for. ? or many others in this forum me too lol anyways like i said in my first post lets try to remain open minded here

consider this saying and what it could mean and also his response to the woman’s admiration of his mother

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭11:24-28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We’re in a war with evil spiritual forces in this world so we have a battle plan and gear provided by the lord

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:11-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

the devil and his angels are warring against all believers constantly , we’re never magically protected but we are offered the holt spirit to fill the voids left in us as the wrong spirit leaves us

if we reject the spirit given in the gospel then those wicked spirits are going to fight harder against us and fill us up worse because we’re looking in the right direction but not allowing the gospel in they step up thier efforts against us of we reject the gospel truth of Christ that’s meant to fill the spaces left by the wrong spirits he cleanses

if a Christian sits and watches porn in secret , they are inviting evil spirit into them , the world is full of evil spiritual temptations d as we partake those evil spirits make thier way into moor heart and take root if we aren’t vigilant they can snare us . What keeps us safe is to believe the lords word and follow after him in faith

People blame Satan all the time. But if your in Christ and resist Satan as the word says he will flee from you

satan can’t make you do anything you do not want to do, christian or not
listen if you blame someone else for a sin that a sin, just as much when you sin its a sin.
if you blame you sinned because you got drunk, thats a sin.
blaming somebody or something else for a sin is just as much as a sin as when a born again christian commits a sin. You cant compare sins this way. and i can tell you that denomic oppresion can do this to you. its a pride thing. So if i say to you why did you sin. you might say because we all fall short. well guess what, that still excusing still and passing the blame else where.

and you asked me for scripture to prove a christian can become possessed here it is so whats your answer

1 Peter 5:6-11 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 8Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 10And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.


please note this scripture is saying many christians are suffering in christ because of the enemy. warning you must stand firm in faith to resist him. then its warn youmust be off sound mind.
so how you stand firm in faith if your are notofsound mind or sober mind, its the same thing.please alsonot the scripture is saying the enemy will consume christian people who are not of sober mind. This scripture is clearly speaking to people in christ.
its also referencing that those who are in christ who weak in faith are suffering in christ. but to stand firm because after you have suffered a while God will restore you.

youve only answered this scripture with your own opinion and instead ignored a clear warning. you are the christian who wrongly a acuses your bretheran
So tell me in your own words exactly how you yhink the enemy who is spiritual devours you i would like to know.

And yes a born again christian can become unsound in the mind to answer your question can a satan possess a person whois God filled.

This is a long read, you have posted,
but I will let you know You have some misunderstanding of OSAS as I am not a person of that prospective fully, yet I am not one who believes in the complete sufficiency or salvation one can walk away. We are not possessed by the Holy Spirit He is welcomed into the believer by grace through faith unto salvation, not of works.
Jesus doesn't play games nor calls darkness to be where Jesus is they do not share locations. The person who has been delivered is set free to make a choice to accept Christ or reject him. If one who is possessed rejects Christ yet they can and most often return because 1. you rejected christ 2. your now becoming like one whose mind has been seared and the Holy Spirit call to you becomes deafening and you are turned over to a reprobate.
Yet does that mean they can't be saved? no. as long as one is still alive there is HOPE! How so?
Because of those who are in prayer for them. Those types are the 1 of the 99 we are never to give up on them until they are dead. Then we leave them unto the Lord.
Demons are very deceptive and very religious and knowledgeable of the history of people and time and the word of God.
in the 90's many deliverance and generational curse, teaching came to the forefront again with buffoons like Bob Larson and many others. These false demonologists go around having little forms of deliverance services to fleece the flock and most of the time they bring a person who believes they are demon-possessed yet after being delivered 1000 times already they have come back.
the demon's name is billybelsibud, she wants to be free but this demon is just too strong for ole Bob Larson. Well, the devil is a liar.
WHO the SON has set free is FREE absolutely. A person who has surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ DON"T have a demon in them.
does that mean you will not be tempted? No, but with every temptation, GOD provides a way to escape.

I have read through many of your long post to lol. I can see your very strong in your faith and you also have a zest and a good caring heart for those who become possessed.
I can also see that your very well educated and have done alot or research in this area.

I like your point of view in most of what you say so ill leave it there for now.
i still have more scripture to post and points of view that will address some youve made here. but the last thing i want is to fall out with a good brother in christ like you. im very tired right now working nights etc.

That said you where right that a person who is saved can walk away from christ as it is there choice. how ever what made him walk away in the first place is something worth reflecting on here. like you said he could have just rejected christ. and he has only himself to blame but there could have been some other reason like a mind becoming unsound from denomic oppression. As you know many people wrongly acuse others. and you should know they where decieved into doing so by demons.
You should aslo know that is something satan is to blame for. and you should also know it can take a lot of growing in faith to disern this for your self.
satan appeared as your best friend one day insulted you and the next day you fell out with your friend and falsley acused him whos to blame there?

You have made some very good points and questions, however, I think sometimes we can assume one is saved just because they are speaking 'Christianese, and have a form of godliness. God knows fully we do not. Those who are demonized were so because for a few reasons.

  1. they do not know Jesus as Lord and savior.

Thanks for starting this thread de-emerald.
I have found your posts in it encouraging and insightful and full of compassion and understanding, and they will be food for thought for me, as will many of the other posts here.
You mentioned you learnt how to defeat demons. Being of sober mind seems key. I would welcome any other tips/advice you can share.
Thanks again. :)

Thankyou i will do my best to share, im fearfull that my posts may make those lesser in faith panic, or question there salvation when theres no need to. I dont want pride to get a hold of people. and one member here pointed out its carnal vanity to to debate salvation. or it can lead to vanity im not sure completely what they mean. I need time to reflect on all of some very strong minded points of view here, befor i answer, Ill be honest i am not always strong minded and as a result i panic sometimes when im being oppressed. other times i am strong minded. It depends how well i start the day when i wake up.

There is some very strong views on jejecting christ being a christians own fault which i need time to absorb and examine my self as my heart has become a bit heavy on this matter.
I need to know if im rejecting christ. perhaps i am by continuing to smoke ciggerettes.
Jesus warns us to not defile are own body because are body is a temple for the lord.
Maybe this is where my problem lies.

The enemy is causing me a lot of anxiety whilst im trying to quit.
Im also concerned that i may be rejecting christ for not understanding all his ways or miss interpratating his scriptures uncorrectly.
My heart is heavy at the moment. God heals the broken hearted eventually i believe and perhaps the broken minded, so i should wait. praise God i know hes healed a part of my brain damage but not all yet.

lol. I asked for proof a demon entered a child of God, not that an enemy attacked a child of God and devoured him. Hitler devoured the jews. Yet he never entered them
Devour = consume also. 1 Peter 5:6-11 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 8Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. 10And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Its a clear instruction to all christians that can not be ignored. the enemy can consume us.

All christians who have took part in this thread answer all theese questions for me please. honestly just yes or no just put q1 =yes or q2 = no etc. please just give a bit of your time.

Now i know that some of you wouldnt get drunk but please just answer on the bases if you did. but also bare in mind you could onE day get drugged up by someone or develop an unsound mind which is the same as unsober because you cant stay alert in either picture. The passage tells us to defeat satan we must be sober and alert.

Ok so questions

1 what happens if we dont stay of sober mind (get drunk or stoned or plastered, can a christian be possessed by the enemy based on the warning from peter above . my answer is yes whats yours

2 the passage above mentions nothing of aldulf hitler it refers to a spiritual enemy devouring you. so how can a spiritual enemy devour you.
my answer is the enemy can consume you whats yours.

3 based on the warning above what would happen if you didnt stay strong in your faith
could the enemy possess you. my answer is yes what is yours.

4 the warning above is also for strong christians if you did not stay strong in your faith
would you be rejecting Jesus. my answer is yes what is yours.

5 if you reject Jesus as a believer could you become possessed, my answer is yes what is yours.

6 If Jesus says you must stay of sober mind to defeat satan and you dont stay of sober mind are you rejecting Jesus. my answer is yes what is yours.

For all other people who have so far taken part in this thread i would also like you to answer theese questions

Further questions

One possible meaning of the Holy Spirit not dwelling in an unclean place is that the Holy Spirit does not dwell in an unbeliever (Romans 6:8). But, once a person is a true believer, he or she will be permanently indwelt with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption when they get to Heaven.
But just a note here in our bible it doesnt actually say the holy spirit will not dwell in an unclean place. in fact the only bible that does say this is the mormon bible
ok lets look at romans
Romans 6:8
“Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:”

Ok this clearly says the holy spirit will dwell in the true believer

Question can you be a true believer if your not of sober mind or sound mind.

Further question if for some reason you sinned and got extremly drunk for one night and became possessed would you lose your salvation. my answer is no what is yours.

Further question if you where a christian and got drunk everyday for the rest of your life being of unsound mind would you be rejecting Jesus and could you stay possesed for the rest of your life. my answer is yes what is yours.

In this instance could you lose your salvation. my answer is thats upto Jesus. whats yours.

Ok question is being of an unsober mind also the same as being unsound in the mind. my answer is yes what is yours please.

1 what happens if we dont stay of sober mind (get drunk or stoned or plastered, can a christian be possessed by the enemy based on the warning from peter above . my answer is yes whats yours

2 the passage above mentions nothing of aldulf hitler it refers to a spiritual enemy devouring you. so how can a spiritual enemy devour you.
my answer is the enemy can consume you whats yours.

3 based on the warning above what would happen if you didnt stay strong in your faith
could the enemy possess you. my answer is yes what is yours.

4 the warning above is also for strong christians if you did not stay strong in your faith
would you be rejecting Jesus. my answer is yes what is yours.

5 if you reject Jesus as a believer could you become possessed, my answer is yes what is yours.

6 If Jesus says you must stay of sober mind to defeat satan and you dont stay of sober mind are you rejecting Jesus. my answer is yes what is yours.

For all other people who have so far taken part in this thread i would also like you to answer theese questions

Further questions

One possible meaning of the Holy Spirit not dwelling in an unclean place is that the Holy Spirit does not dwell in an unbeliever (Romans 6:8). But, once a person is a true believer, he or she will be permanently indwelt with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption when they get to Heaven.
But just a note here in our bible it doesnt actually say the holy spirit will not dwell in an unclean place. in fact the only bible that does say this is the mormon bible
ok lets look at romans
Romans 6:8
“Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:”

Ok this clearly says the holy spirit will dwell in the true believer

Question can you be a true believer if your not of sober mind or sound mind.

Further question if for some reason you sinned and got extremly drunk for one night and became possessed would you lose your salvation. my answer is no what is yours.

Further question if you where a christian and got drunk everyday for the rest of your life being of unsound mind would you be rejecting Jesus and could you stay possesed for the rest of your life. my answer is yes what is yours.

In this instance could you lose your salvation. my answer is thats upto Jesus. whats yours.

Ok question is being of an unsober mind also the same as being unsound in the mind. my answer is yes what is yours please.
devour consume

This is like a lion devouring or consuming a pray.

This is totally different than a lion entering his pray and taking control of his body.

Devour on a spiritual bases, to murder a persons mind. to make a person feal hopeless. to have a person in despair. to turn hope into pity. to turn love into hate. To turn courage into worry. to turn honor into dishonor. to turn kindness into wickedness.

can a persons mind be murdered from spiritual oppression,,?

Your playing word games on one word when you should be answering the questions asked honestly to you and everyone else in this thread should also.
If this one word is stoping you from answering all the other questions Just answer this honest question. Can you defeat satan if you are not of sober mind.

another honest question for you, forgetting the word dEVOUR,

how can you tell the difference between spiritual opression and spiritual possession.

comming to a person is not the same as attacking and devouring them

why you are still fighting this truth is beyond me.

I used to feel that someone wanted to come into my body,I could feel the people who wanted to enter my body, they are abusive, angry, releasing bad things at will,I can feel that if they enter my body, I will release negative emotions completely out of control.

But they failed.
