How would you confront a demon-possessed person? - May 21st, 2012, 11:47 AM

I wanted to ask Christians this question. How would you confront a demon-possessed person?





Your problem is not technology. The problem is YOU. You lack the will to change...You treat this planet as you treat each other. - Klaatu

What are you talking about? There is no such thing as the "Mafia"......it doesn't exist. Just a bunch of lies told to defame honest hardworking Italians like myself. - TomO

I will do you, let's see, goofy, wacky, and to the left side of the bell curve
. -Ktoyou

I'm white. I'm not black. I can't convert to being black. It doesn't matter how much I want to become black. I could listen to rap and date fat white women all day; for all that, I'll still remain white.- Traditio

Confront? Are you asking how to cast the demons out?

There is no such thing as the possession of demons, any more than a person is possessed with the Spirit of Christ. -- THEY ARE who they are, and Christ said to them, >> "Ye are of your father the Devil". ---- That means that they WERE THE DEVIL'S ANGELS, -- the demons of darkness!! -- They are the demons, not just possessed with them!!

Paul -- 052112





---Gal. 4:16.
---"Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth"???

Either you are right and Jesus did not cast out the demons possessing the people brought to Him, or Jesus is right and He cast out the demons possessing the people brought to Him.

Matthew 8:16
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:


I believe Jesus is right and Letsargue is wrong on this matter.

I have encountered quite a few people who were/are possessed by demons. Only once did I cast them out. The result was amazing.

I"ll let you define "confront" anyway you wish. Lets say some person you know is/becomes "demon-possessed". What would you or can you do about it?

Possessed isn't an accurate phrase......... demonised is better.

Carefully , respectfully and not on your own is my answer.

Love the person oppose the spirit

Jesus saves completely. A9D-EL

Titus 1:10-11

For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose mouths must be stopped

Suddenly his whole countenance seemed to transform and he started yelling at me. I was startled. As I looked at him something very strange happened that I can't explain. I saw someone else. It was like I was hallucinating but yet I wasn't on any drugs nor had I been drinking any alcohol. So I simply said "who are you". My friend responded with "what". I still do not know why but I responded by saying "you are possessed". He said something like "are you nuts". All I could think to say was "get out of my friend". Then I added "in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I command you to release my friend and leave".

At that point I was thinking that maybe I was nuts or at least had flipped into some kind of altered consciousness. Then my friend let out some kind of wail as if he was in agony. He spun around 3 times and ran off the porch into the yard and collapsed onto the grass. I went over cautiously not knowing what to make of it all. I was afraid he might have suffered some sort of seizure or even a heart attack. I checked and he seemed to be breathing just fine and had a strong pulse. I left him and went back to the porch kinda shaking my head trying to make some sense of the last few minutes.

After a while my friend woke up, looked around and joined me on the porch. He shrugged and said something along the lines of "guess I was tired". He was cordial and didn't seem to remember the whole incident. I didn't bring it up or ask him anything. I remember thinking to myself "so that's how it works".

I hope this has not been too long. That whole event remains very vividly with me.

There is one thing I’ve found out in your world, and that’s that you Geniuses, and the carnal minded people who have faith in the “SEEN” and the “HISTORY” of things that happened in the carnal are the ones who cannot be told that FAITH is of the “UNSEEN” things of God. – That’s why I left the Gospel at Home, and didn’t bother to bring it with me, - that in vain of worrying about the fools of the World!! -- They can’t hear the tongues of the Angels. And I couldn’t care less, I just have a duty to perform and that’s nearly DONE, AND THEN IT’S ALL FINISHED!!

All you other so called Christians that sit there and watch that other so and so insult one, over and over again, and then rejoice over it!!! -- HEY!! – THANK GOD THERE’S A HELL!!!

Paul – 052112





---Gal. 4:16.
---"Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth"???

I don't think anyone really wants to be rude to you, we juts don't know how else to bring attention to your delusions.
