The problem I have with demons is that they are very cunning and extremely good liars that come for the ruination of souls! They would like to have us believe that they do not exist though the Holy Bible tells us otherwise and gives us several examples of their existence. Jesus cast out demons and indeed Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness. There are many other examples. Though some people simply refuse to believe in them, much to the devil's delight, despite the evidence in the Bible.
Demonic activity comes about and is caused by a deep dis-association from God and Jesus. When this happens such activity can take place with those who do not believe. To a Born Again Christian it is said by Biblical scholars that they cannot be possessed by demons however, they can become obsessed with certain things. Thus, a Christian is prime target for such activity to make them fearful and with the hopes that they will distance themselves from God. A Strong Christian would however know better!
Because the devil is a liar and a good one many will be deceived especially during these end times. Whenever a person senses demonic activity in or near them that is the time to call upon Jesus to come to their rescue and surround them with His Divine Light and the Blood of The Lamb! The demons may not want to leave but they must when Jesus' name is invoked! They shake and tremble at the utterance of His name and that is to your advantage my dear brethren.
The best Scripture to use and to retain in memory is this one whenever you feel you are confronted by demons.

Sorry dude
But we do share this tinny world with 1/3 of all angles(the ones who were cast from heaven and into the world,now known as demons) and the ones who remained in heaven are innumerable ,so if you do the math one can understand why theres a possibilty that at any given time each of us is being stalked by a number of demons,offcourse not forgetting the angles who protect us(even more in numbers and power)so i guess we have our back covered

Hi, over the years I have had attacks from demonic spirits. Sometimes because I was being disobedient, sometimes because I was being effective!
As a young believer God protects us most. But as we go on, He wants us to battle and to learn to overcome, to know how to stand in Him, to know how to submit to God and resist the devil.
It is all about knowing ones identity in Christ...not so much about power.
I reccommend reading Neil Anderson's books ..ie, Bondage Breaker and Victory over Darkness I think it is called.
Shall be happy to pray with you anytime. God Bless.

Very well put, I agree with you whole heartedly. May I add that demonic activity is very dangerous. Stay away from it. If it comes to you, call upon the name of Jesus and go into serious prayer. You need the power of God to combat demons and satan and with a good prayer life and relationship with God you can see them coming ahead of time and pray them away. Please do not underestimate them.
Thank you for your comment. It is much appreciated. And I concur with you as well in that demonic activity IS certainly very dangerous. It is definitely not child's play! Hollywood has most unfortunately just about placed the devil on a pedestal in movies as a being who is very powerful and can obtain most anything and so can his followers. That is, however, a wrong and deceitful message. But it makes money at the box office so go figure. However, most movies end with the devil being conquered! Thank God.
The devil is an extreme opportunist and will come not only when a person is doing bad things but also when they are doing good. Therefore, Beware of any activity that might rouse demons such as what some presume to be "innocent games" of calling forth a spirit without knowing that an opportunistic spirit may very well manifest and then be hard to get rid of. And yes, there are documented cases where people have just about looked like and acted much like actress Linda Blair in her early to middle 70's movie role in "The Exorcist" while being under possession of a demon.
And imho, if anyone ever has the extreme misfortune of being confronted by a demon, (that is to say through Mind Torture or very bad people who entice you to do certain unholy things) Do Not Try To Approach the Demon! Immediately Start Praying and Call Upon God and Jesus and His Most Holy Angels to Come To Your Rescue But Do Not Remain In the Vicinity of The Demon or Those Presumed To Be Possessed By One At Any Cost As That Could Prove To Be Very Dangerous!
Many times demons, being cunning and expert liars and masters of disguise and deceit, will not appear as the grotesque creatures that they really are (as that would surely scare you away!) but having been angels of God that were once in Heaven they have learned the ways of transformation that that realm has taught them thus they still remember how they can appear human therefore, know how to transform themselves into rather innocuous looking humans and can manifest themselves through people who are not Christians and especially if they are not Born Again and they can be very persuasive to have you do their evil bidding. So Always BEWARE! Call Upon Christ. Pray and Always Keep Out of Harm's Way!
Remember, a demon is most powerful and it takes someone especially trained to exorcise them. Exorcism is NOT a game! It is a very serious matter that requires a highly trained, experienced person like clergy who has prayed and fasted before they can confront a demon. Sometimes it requires several to many tries to get rid of the demon that is why it must always be left to those with ecclesiastical authority over such matters. In my exhaustive religious studies I have learned that the devil is not omnipresent, like God, and cannot be everywhere at all times as God can. Thus, when he does come, he can cause serious discord in one's life but he must leave at his appointed time and that is usually when a person can find a certain degree of comfort and relief.
May ALL here be Blessed by Jesus and Protected from the evil ones! In Jesus' Most Holy Name I pray. Amen.

Yes, what you say is very true. I've often times questioned myself about some beings that I have encountered that seemed to be under demonic influence. The beings come from a very dark place and their intentions are always dark, destructive and deadly. We are no match for them without Christ. DO NOT BE DECEIVED. ( the beings that I mentioned could very well be human, but I can feel and see the presense of demonic activity and the host probably isn't even aware of the demon due to a lack of Christ in their life ).
You are exactly right, Gabriel! I too have seen plenty of that activity and so have others. We read about it from those in the workplace who have supervisors and managers who mistreat them on a daily basis in a most un-Christ-like way. Their co-workers can also be most cruel at times and their supervisors, being made of the "same cloth", so to speak, will do nothing to curb the activity as they are the same way and think the same way themselves. This cannot be coming from God. It is the thorn of the devil that is within them that causes them to act and react in the manner in which they do.
One suggestion when one has to confront such people is to first pray before you leave home for work that God will surround you with His Divine protection throughout the day. Also when you get to the workplace, place your hands on the door before you open it and once again ask God through Jesus Christ that your day be free from worry and demonic attacks beyond that door. Remember the LORD's Prayer as well as the Twenty-Third Psalm and commit those prayers to surround you through and through for the rest of the day as well as the most powerful Blood of the Lamb.
We must be ever on guard against the cunning ways the adversary uses to cause us discord, unhappiness, and consternation. But with God by our side, we Can and Will WIN!! May God bless you always and protect you in the workplace and wherever else you go.
By the way, I very much like your pseudonym "Gabriel777". It reminds me both of the Archangel of the Annunciation as well as the Number of God. How truly wonderful! Be blessed always in Christ Jesus!

It has never happened to me but I have witness firsthand a man (my friend's father) in my church back at home who was demon possessed. Prayer groups and the church elders constantly went to his home and prayed for him and that was how he was freed of the demon.
Honestly, I never used to believe in all of this things. This particular man was attacked one morning by demon on his way to church for sunday morning worship service where he had planned to also partake in the monthly general fasting programme organised by the church. We were told that he suddenly fell flat in the middle of the road (a few metres away from church) just like that and was taken back home. We were informed about the incident and so the entire congregation had a special prayer for him. Never having believed in such stories, I along with our other friends went to see this man in the afternoon. As we were eating snacks and discussing about his 'attack' with his wife and daughter in the same room where he was lying on a bed , our attention was suddenly caught by him sitting upright and clapping his hand in the air. As we were wondering what he was upto, he opened his hand and showed us a small porcupine spike (half the original size) that he had caught from out of nowhere (probably given to him by the demon). I couldn't believe it at all but since it was happening right in front of my eyes, I had no choice but to believe that it was handed to him by the demon. His wife then told us that he had received the similar porcupine spike in the morning as he was getting ready for church service. We were curious so she showed us and the two spikes were of similar sizes.
According to our forefathers who had believed in those things, it was told that the porcupine spike given to him was a 'sign or gift' for healing people from sickness and ailments i.e. if he would allow himself to be used by the demon for the purpose. Though, I have heard a lot of such similar cases, this was the only incident that I have witnessed it personally. So, there you have my story about demon/devil possesed...

Earlier I was speaking about how demons can enter into people who are not Believers and cause them to do bad things and even evil acts. Likewise, that they have the ability to change, to transform themselves into quite appealing human beings. That brought to mind the time I visited beautiful ol' San Antonio, Texas (I fell in love with their 'Riverwalk' incidentally), and of course had to spend some time there. One day I was driving down a highway called Hwy. 90 West and stopped by some interesting places just to visit them out of curiosity. I heard some people talking about an incident that had happened at a club not far from there sometime back. They said people were at that nightclub dancing and having a good time when all of a sudden a man appeared who captivated all of the women who thought he was so good-looking, indeed extraordinarily handsome. The men were of course jealous and ..... well, here's the rest of this bizarre story that I'm sure all of you would like to read. Apparently, even today they are still talking about it! I later read a newspaper giving an account of what had happened and I distinctly remember the title of the story as being "The Night The Devil Danced"

I feel exactly the way you do and experiance the same things you do at work. There's this one young lady that I was talking to the other day. I've known her for years. I've noticed a change in her over the last year. She used to be really attractive. She looks like a witch now. When I look into her eyes I sense demonic activity. I will avoid her now.
