Hi Everyone

Im new to the forum, seem's like a awesome place, hope to be come part of the comunity of God.

I have a bit of a different question, i recently got saved so am very new to all this.

I got invited to a friends church service on Wednesday, now this ministry does deliverance, so after the service they pray for people. I have read up on deliverance and am ok up to that point, what happened there after im not 100% comfortable with is while they were praying for someone a demon manifestd in one of the pastors and spoke thru him. I found that very odd and questioned them and they replied saying that is is scriptural that Jesus can use a dmeon to talk thru a believer.

I hope i made sence with my post, and thank you guys for your replied.

God bless everyone :)

He says that sometimes the demon of the person they praying for speaks thru him, that is very weird to me, but i dont want to judge him, i just dont want to get involved in weird things.

He also added that he does not remember what happens when they speak thru him.

I have never heard of that... Hmm I don't mean to judge but it sounds a little strange to me. Maybe he was trying to explain speaking in tongues?? Just a guess. I have never personally spoken in tongues I don't fully understand it, and am unsure if I believe in it, so it's just my opinion. I could be totally wrong

Ok so me being sceptical was not wrong. Whats so weird is the preach abou thw word of God. They claim to cast our demons from people. why would they do all this if they were part of a ocult ?

Would you mind explaining speaking in tongues to me? I was at a prayer meeting tonight and people were speaking in what I assumed was Latin but I am not completely sure. What's it like

okay, to Ricky: yes. I'd advise you to stay away. :]

to Relient... tongues are like random... if you've ever seen "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" then it's like.... Yeah, Latin. That's what she was speaking. Latin.

Hm I am not sure if I was Latin though. One guy seemed to be having a conversation while a girl just said the same two words over and over again. Oh well I guess I might have to expierence it for myself

I went up for a altar call for people wanting to get baptized in the Holy Spirit, they started praying for us and next minute i felt this overwhelming sensation in my body, i started hearing everyone else starting to speak in tongues and next minute i just started forming words, its something your mind cant understand, i can know say a few words. Its like learning a new language now i need to practise it.

story of Peter speaking the words of Satan and Jesus rebuking him.

Mark 8:32-34 (New King James Version)

32 He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. 33 But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, &#8220;Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.&#8221;

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him


34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, &#8220;Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me

Even the apostle Peter and Paul fall into sin, but Jesus speaks for our souls and saves us even now. but the church is wrong, they are to rebuke demons not worship them

No.. I believe not, because we have the Holy Spirit in us and they fear the Lord. If they were able to then they can try to stop us from receiving our salvation by possession and wont need to push us. Yes they can try to convince but if they were to posses then they would have total access to our lives, Jesus Christ is the one who controls our lives and leads us to the truth,,, so i doubt that a demon can posses us as Christians.

no he was being a medium and possessed by a demon, King saul was cursed for using mediums. the Bible is very clear, its a sin. the holy spirit allows us to speak in tongues to speak with His angels not the people. and there is to be an interpertor it is the language of prayers and i think i do it sometimes when I sing to songs because my husband says I mumble and speak incoherently but I do it sing along to worship songs like this one:

YouTube - Better Than A Hallelujah Amy Grant

living our life and giving God our sorrows and heartfelt prayers is better then a Hallelujah sometimes.
