To those of you who would like to learn more about the deliverance ministry, we are going to use this article to give you more specifics on the different kinds of demonic spirits that are out there.
For the most part, demons are known by their “function names.” The function name will tell you what the demon specializes in once he becomes attached to a person, whether it be on the outside of the person or on the inside of the person.
For instance, a spirit of lust will specialize in transmitting lust onto the person they are attached to. Once they transmit that feeling of lust onto this person, they will then try and get the person to act out on it. This is how many people end up engaging in fornication, adultery, or pornography. This is what you call a person coming under “direct demonic influence.”
Most of these cases are not full possession type cases, so God will still hold the person completely responsible for their actions, even if a demon is sliming them with this lustful feeling, along with providing them with the actual compulsion to try and act out on it. God still held both Adam and Eve totally responsible for their actions in the Garden of Eden, even though it was the devil himself who tempted Eve to eat the fruit off that forbidden tree, and then Eve persuaded Adam to do the same thing.
Satan still has not changed his tactics and strategies, and he still uses both demons and other people to try to get us to fall into various types of sins. But whether we are coming under any kind of direct influence from demons or other people, the choice will always remain with us as to whether or not we will fall for the temptation to sin directly against the Lord.
All demons can do is try and make you do bad and evil things. And unless you are dealing with a case of temporary possession, or someone who has become mentally ill in some way, most of the time the person will have all of his senses fully intact enough to know right from wrong, and will know what the full consequences of their acts will be if they decide to go all the way through with it.
A good example of this are the people who murder their loved ones in a fit of rage and jealousy. Many of the times, these crimes are premeditated, which means the person is actually thinking about it and planning on how to do it.
Once they go into this kind of a planning stage, the demons will then keep the pressure on from the back end to try and get them to follow all the way through it. But the person can still stop it and call it off anytime they want to. They know full well what the consequences are going to be if they get caught – life imprisonment or the death penalty. But in many of these cases, they will still follow all the way through with it and actually kill their spouse or whoever else they have targeted.
Demons with function names of murder, rage, and hate are many of the times the driving force behind these types of horrible crimes. But again, the person is still fully cooperating with these demons with their free will and as a result, they will be held totally accountable and responsible by both the law if they are ever caught, and by God Himself once they die and cross over to face Him head on for their own personal judgment.
Most of the time people have no idea that it really is demons who are operating behind the scenes providing more fuel to their fires with what they specialize in, such as spirits of hate, murder, jealousy, rage, anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness. Once a group of these types of demons attach to a person who may have been really hurt in a love affair, or a spouse being divorced by the other spouse, or a spouse catching another spouse in an adulterous love affair, they will then try and do everything they can to slime the person with what they specialize in so as to try and get them to act out on these negative feelings and emotions.
This is why it will really help everyone if they knew what some of the basic function names of the demons were, so they can then immediately spot their negative influence when they do try and move in for an attack on someone who may be open to their negative and evil influence.
In this article, I am going to give you some of the basic groupings which will show you the different areas that demons will like to target once they move in on a person. Here they are in a bolded, numbered format so you can have all of them right at the top of this article:
- Murder
- The Occult
- Lust
- Pride
- Mental Health
- Unforgiveness
- Sickness
- Different Kinds of Vices
- False Religions
These 9 specific areas are some of the major areas that demons will try and target once they move in for an attack on someone. These are the “games” that demons will try and play on us, and these are real life-and-death games, not fun type games. This is why the Bible tells us to always be sober, vigilant, and alert for any kind of demonic activity that could set in on either us, or any of our close loved ones.
Now I will go ahead and discuss each one of these groups under the captions below so you can see how demons will try and operate against you.
Here are the main groups and the function names of the demons operating in each of these specific groups. These demons are still to this day roaming in the air trying to attack us anytime they see a hole occur in our protective hedge with the Lord. Also note that demons can play more than one of these games on any one individual person.
1. Murder
These types of demons, and the ones who specialize in the occult, are the two worse kinds of demons you can ever come across.
In this first group are the demons who specialize in trying to set people up to murder and kill. This will include demons who will try and get people to either kill themselves in the form of a suicide, or kill other people in cold-blooded murders. There is not a day that goes by where we do not see reported on our local news stations the murder or suicide of individual people in this life.
In fact, it is so common and so prevalent, that we have become literally desensitized to all of it since we hear about it so much on a daily basis. It is only when it happens to someone who may be close to us that we are given the full realization of how evil of an act murder and suicide really is. And if it should happen to a very close loved one like your child, your spouse, or a parent, it will rip your heart into a million pieces and leave a hole in your soul that will never fully go away until you cross over to the other side to be with Jesus for all of eternity.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit on the inside of you, God can help heal the emotional wounds of this kind of trauma, but you will never lose the actual memory of the event, or the sadness at losing a close loved one in such a horrible, evil, and senseless fashion.
The Bible has already given us fair warning that Satan and his demons have come to kill, steal, and destroy, and until Jesus comes back to set up His Millennium Kingdom from the the city of Jerusalem, we are all going to have to battle this kind of an evil reality on a regular basis whether we like it or not. As such, it will really help everyone if they can learn how the enemy will try and operate against them.
Here are some of the main function names of the demons who specialize in this kind of extreme evil activity:
- Murder
- Hate
- Rage
- Anger
- Violence
- Death
- Revenge
- Destruction
- Darkness
- Suicide
- Jealousy
- Sadism
- Fighting
As we have said before, demons usually travel in groups or clusters, with one demon being the chief demon and the rest of the demons being his underlings under his direct control and direction.
In many of these types of cases, the chief demon will be a spirit of murder and then he will have his underlings having some of the functions names listed above. They will then move in and set up shop on someone if they have the appropriate legal rights to be able to do so, and they will then try and work and play that person over a period of time to either try and get them to kill themselves or other people, or possibly both, as murder-suicides are still very common in this day and age.
Again, in most of these cases, the person is not in a fully possessed state. They still have most, if not all of their senses fully intact, and know basic right from wrong.
The demons will then plant their thoughts, their suggestions, their pictures in their mind’s eye, and their strategies on how to do this – but the person can still resist these types of evil temptations at anytime and choose not to act out on them.
Demons cannot make you do anything against your own free will. All they can do is try and persuade you to do it, along with trying to give you the actual desire and compulsion to want to do it. From there, the choice will be up to that person as to whether or not they will want to go all the way through with it and actually act out on these evil desires being implanted into them by the demons.
It simply amazes me how so many people will blindly follow these kinds of evil demonic suggestions and promptings, and actually carry out acts of pure, cold-blooded murders on either themselves or anyone else the demons have targeted for them. Just because you get an evil thought or an evil desire to kill either yourself or someone else does not mean that you have to actually try and carry it out.
Again, people need to be taught the basics on how demons will try and play mind games with you so they can get you to do their evil bidding. The mind is the battlefield in the area of spiritual warfare, with both demons and God tying to reach you through your mind. God will be trying to transform and renew your mind through His Word, and demons will be trying to reach your mind so they can get you to act out on their evil suggestions.
2. The Occult
This next class of demons are the next worse kind of demons you can ever come across. Many deliverance ministers have found out on the actual battlefields that demons who specialize in any area of the occult are some of the more evil and powerful demons in Satan’s kingdom, and sometimes are the hardest kind to be able to actually cast out. This is why God the Father was so strict back in the OT with the Jewish people in that they were to have absolutely nothing to do with any kind of occult activity whatsoever.
In the Spiritual Warfare section of our site, we have an article titled, “Dangers of the Occult.” In this article are all of the main verses on God warning us to stay completely away from any kind of occult activity.
I believe there are demons who literally specialize in every single kind of occult activity that is out there. For the purposes of this article, I am going to go ahead and list all of the different kinds of occult activities that we are to stay completely away from in this life. All of these were listed in our “Dangers of the Occult” article. Here they are once again so you can have all of these at a quick glance with this specific article:
- Fortunetelling – of any kind such as palm reading , crystal ball gazing, numerology, or seeing psychics.
- Tarot Cards
- Ouija Boards and Automatic Writing
- Seances and any involvement with mediums or spiritists.
- Astrology and any form of horoscopes
- I Ching
- Hypnotism
- Transcendental Meditation or any type of Far Eastern Meditation.
- Crystals
- Witchcraft
- Satanism
- Voodoo
- Channeling
- Reincarnation
- Astral Projection
- ESP
- Dungeons and Dragons – role-playing games.
- New Age Movement techniques and activities.
- Necromancy
Again, we cannot emphasize strongly enough that both believers and nonbelievers alike stay completely away from this kind of demonic activity. Every single one of the above activities have specific demons assigned to them, and they will come directly after you if you attempt to try any of these kinds of activities out.
If you want to see what demons can do to a person once they have opened up the doors by engaging with any type of occult activity, read our 2 articles titled, The Extreme Dangers of the Ouija Board and The Dangers of Automatic Writing.
In these two articles are two dramatic, bone-chilling testimonies of two people who drew in very heavy demonic attacks on them as a result of dabbling with a ouija board and automatic writing.
3. Lust
This next class of demons have probably been responsible in bringing down more modern day ministries than all of the other ones combined and put together, especially with men. These types of demons are also responsible for all of the different kinds of perversions and filth we see running across every segment of our society today.
Here is a basic list of some of these kinds of demons:
- Lust
- Fornication
- Adultery
- Pornography
- Transvestism
- Prostitution
All of these forbidden areas with the Lord have one major thing in common – and that is they are all tied into a spirit of lust, a spirit of sexual arousal where the ultimate aim is for some kind of sexual gratification.
If you will notice, all of these kinds of activities are having our sexuality to be tied into the wrong kinds of targets. God Himself created us with the ability to have sexual thoughts and feelings, but this gift was only meant to be used and shared within the confines of a holy heterosexual marriage, not in the above kinds of aberrant activities.
Demons obviously know we have this kind of incredible gift from the Lord, so they will do everything they can to try and get you to release this gift through the wrongs kinds of targets and activities such as the ones listed above. How many marriages, ministries, and personal lives have been totally destroyed and brought down as a result of people following after the different kinds of spirits of lust.
The strongest man in God to have probably ever lived, Samson, was completely brought down as a result of lusting after the wrong kind of woman. And to this very day, many people still have not learned from the past and how deadly this kind of spirit can be.
We still have many married people across the world who are still cheating on their spouses in their marriages. And then to top it off, we still have to deal with all of the rapists and pedophiles who are out there preying on all of our young children and women, all because they are choosing with their own free wills not to try and fight this kind of bad and evil spirit.
4. Pride
In the Sanctification Section of our site, we have an article titled, Pride Will Come Before the Fall. In this article are all of the main verses having to do with pride and how pride will come before the fall. Satan himself is a perfect example of someone who fell from grace and favor with the Lord as a result of too much pride being built up in his personality over a certain period of time.
As we explained in that article, once too much pride starts to build up over time in your personality, you will then start to lose your ability to see what the real truth is in many of the important matters in your life. The only truth you will now see is what you think the truth is, even if that truth goes against God Almighty Himself.
You will then start to become a little god yourself, thinking that all of the world revolves around you and your own set agendas. You will then become very selfish and narcissistic and will refuse to listen to any kind of correction or counsel the Lord will try and bring your way.
Here is a list of some of the different kinds of demons who will try and bring someone down through the use of pride:
- Pride
- Arrogance
- Haughtiness
- Rebellion
- Blasphemy
- Control, Domination
- Possessiveness
- Contention
- Quarreling
- Critical, Judgmental
- Selfish
- Narcissistic
- Unbelief
- Skepticism
- Greed
- Paranoia
- Deceit
- Mockery
Once the spirit of pride enters into someone, either through demons and/or through a person’s own human spirit, many of the above qualities will follow right along with it.
How many prideful people do you know who also exhibit additional negative qualities such as being too judgmental and too critical of other people. Since their inflated sense of pride tells them they are always right and never wrong, then there is no room for anyone else who does not agree with them. As a result, they will become very judgmental and critical of anyone else who does not agree with them.
As their pride continues to build up, they will then become more selfish and narcissistic, as all they will be able to see is what is in their own little world. As a result, everything else in their lives will become totally irrelevant, including the members of their own families.
They will then start to want more and more, especially in the area of power, wealth, authority, control, money, and material goods. From there a strong spirit of greed will start to enter in and before you know it, they will have lost all contact with God, their best friends, and family members. They will then become an island and a god all to themselves.
And then it happens, everything comes tumbling down around them. They lose all of their friends, their families, their wealth and money, and most importantly of all, they lose their connection and personal relationship to God Himself.
Saddam Hussein of Iraq is a perfect example of someone who had it all in the area of power and material wealth, and then lost all of it in a matter of days as a result of letting his pride get in the way of letting the UN inspectors into his country to look for weapons of mass destruction that were never found.
Demons are masters at playing the pride game with people since that is what caused all of them to get cast out of heaven in the first place. And so many people to this very day are still continuing to fall for this type of evil spirit, such as some of our politicians, the CEO’s of different companies, and even some of the pastors and clergy in our different churches.
Just realize that pride is a major, offensive weapon of demons, and they will play this kind of game with anyone they feel will be susceptible to it, especially those who are in any type of leadership position.
5. Mental Health
The Bible tells us that God has given us a spirit of power, love, and a “sound mind.” And what do you think demons will want to try and do just off this one verse alone – to try and give all of us an unsound mind. In other words, they will try to make us mentally unstable as much as they can.
Here is the verse from our Bible giving us this very powerful revelation about God wanting to give all of us a very sound mind in Him:
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)
This, without question, is one of the favorite games that demons will try and play with all of us. If they can make us mentally unstable to any significant degree, they will then be able to do significant damage to our abilities to our operate in our callings for the Lord, if not completely knock us right out of our calls.
Here are some of the function names of the demons who will operate in this realm:
- Fear
- Depression
- Torment
- Dread
- Hopelessness
- Despair
- Insecurity
- Paranoia
- Suspicion
- Distrust
- Insecurity
- Loneliness
- Shyness
- Discouragement
- Passivity
- Lying
- Deceit
- Antisocial
- Compulsive neurotic behavior
- Phobias
- Madness
- Insanity
- Schizophrenia
- Multiple Personalities
- Hearing Voices
- Mind Control
We all battle some of these types of faults and imperfections from time to time. Not everyone who has fear, shyness, or loneliness on them is under any kind of demonic attack. But where you can get into problems with some of these types of conditions is when demons do move in and try to intensify what you may already be going through.
For instance, if you are battling your own emotions of fear and insecurity as a result of having just lost your job, then the demons will try and attach to you if they can, and then start to slime and hit you with their own fear. Once their fear starts to hit you on top of your own fears already hitting you, then you are getting hit with what I call a double whammy.
Demons are always looking for an opening in your defenses, a chink in your armor. If they see that you are battling any type of abnormal fear for any type of crisis you are going through, they will then try and add to it so they can get you paralyzed. And if you get paralyzed enough, then you will stop trying to move forward. And if you stop trying to move forward, then you may end up handcuffing God in being able to work with you. This is why it is so important that you realize the types of games demons are capable of playing with you so you do not fall into their traps.
If you have just lost your job, you will need to start seeking and searching for that next new job. And as you are seeking and searching for that next new job, then God will fully guide your steps into the next new job He will want you to have.
But if you quit seeking after that next new job due to battling too much fear and insecurity, then God may not be able to lead you to that next new job because you have just taken yourself off His playing field. And that is exactly what the demons will try and do to you – knock you right off the playing field and onto the bench, so God will not be able to use you or work with you.
Again, do not fall for these kinds of tricks and traps from these demons. This is why the Bible tells us that having knowledge can help keep us from being destroyed and going into any type of captivity. And if the demons can start to play this kind of mind game with you where they can get you mentally unstable to any kind of a significant degree, then you will go into a certain amount of mental captivity. And that certain amount of mental captivity could then end up freezing and paralyzing you and keep you from being able to progress any further on the divine path that God has you set up on.
If demons cannot kill you, they will then try and paralyze you so you can no longer move forward and function in the calling that God has set up for your life. That is why having some semblance of a good sound mind in this life will really help you in being able to fully complete your call for the Lord. Demons know this and that is why they will try and slime you with some of the above negative qualities.
6. Unforgiveness
Another major area that demons will try and target once they see this kind of an opening in your defenses is in the area of unforgiveness. The reason they will try and target this specific area is due to the following verse:
“AND WHENEVER YOU STAND PRAYING, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.” (Mark 11:25)
Not only does this verse tell us that God will not be forgiving all of our trespasses if we do not forgive the ones who have trespassed against us, but this verse is also implying that we may have a very hard time in getting any of our personal prayers answered with Him, as it starts out with the specific wording, “And whenever you stand praying.”
And if you cannot get your own personal prayers answered with he Lord, then you will not be able to operate in the calling that God has set up for your life. This is why demons will especially target this area, so they can sever the prayer line between you and the Lord.
Your prayer line to the Lord is your lifeline. Have that lifeline damaged, cut, or severed in any way, and all of the forward momentum in your calling with the Lord will completely shut down until you can get it re-established again.
Here are some of the function names of the demons who will play this kind of mind game with us:
- Unforgiveness
- Bitterness
- Jealousy
- Resentment
- Anger
- Stubborness
- Envy
- Hard-heartedness
All of these negative qualities will all go right along with the main spirit of unforgiveness. These additional qualities is what many of the times will keep you from being able to forgive someone who has trespassed against you. Anger, bitterness, resentment, and a hard heart could all prevent you from being able to try and forgive someone for something bad they may have done to you in your past.
We have a special article in the Psychological Issues of our site titled, How to Handle Negative Feelings When Wronged by Someone Else. If any of you are battling any type of unforgiveness in your life, you may want to read this article, as we go further in depth on this topic and show you how you can really do this with the Lord’s help.
God does not want us walking around with any type of heavy anchors and burdens wrapped around us. And holding any type of major unforgiveness against anyone will be a major heavy anchor wrapped around your soul until you can get it completely cut away from you by the power of the Holy Spirit.
7. Sickness
As a result of the Adamic curse that is still in full operation on this earth, every single one of us will have to battle a certain amount of sickness and illness in this life.
Most of the times, any type of sickness or illness we may get will be due to natural type causes. With all of the bad foods we eat, the pollution that is in our air, and just the normal wear-and-tear and aging our physical bodies will go through, all of these will contribute to our bodies breaking down with various types of illnesses and diseases at times.
However, if you study many of the deliverances that Jesus did in the Gospel accounts, there were quite a few times that a person’s illness was directly due to a demonic spirit. And once that demon was cast out, then the person had a full physical healing.
These types of spirits are called spirits of infirmity, and they will specialize in attacking our physical bodies and causing them to get sick in some way. You will need proper discernment from the Holy Spirit as to whether or not someone’s illness is being caused by a demon, or if it is just coming from natural cause and effect from all of the different Adamic curse factors that are still in full play.
Here are some of the function names of the demons who will operate in this realm:
- Spirit of Infirmity (any kind of disease or illness)
- Death
- Anorexia
- Bulimia
- Insomnia
- Abnomal amounts of lethargy, sleepiness
- Epilepsy
- Gluttony
Again, you will need proper discernment from the Holy Spirit as to when you are dealing with a demon who is causing a specific type of illness or disease. But just remember this is a type of game that demons can play with us and not to overlook this possibility if you are dealing with a specific type of illness or disease with someone.
Anorexia and bulimia especially should be looked at very carefully, as demons love to do these two if they can get away with it. If they can prevent you from properly eating, then you will not have the proper nutrients entering your body to properly function, and you could then seriously put your own life in danger if you stay in these two conditions long enough.
However, gluttony will be the opposite end of this extreme. If the demons cannot try and kill you by starving your body to death, they will then try and kill you by causing you to overeat.
Many of our natural illnesses, such as heart attacks and cancers, are caused by people overeating of the wrong kinds of foods over too long of a period of time. And spirits of gluttony love to attach to people to see if they can get them to eat themselves to death.
8. Different Kinds of Vices
If demons will try and cause you to either overeat or under eat in order to try and kill you, then this next realm should come as no surprise. This next realm is where you get into the different types of vices and addictions that are out there – and demons love to play this kind of extreme game on anyone they can.
Here are some of the main function names of these kinds of demons:
- Alcohol
- Cocaine
- Heroin
- Meth
- Marijuana
- LSD
- Anti-prescription drugs
All of these vices can become extreme addictions and they can all shorten our life span, not to mention they can all seriously cripple us and prevent us from being able to properly function in this life and in our specific callings for the Lord. Get hooked on any of these types of heavier drugs, or get to the point where you have become an alcoholic, and God will then not be able to use you in the calling that He has set up for your life until you can get yourself properly cleaned up and fully delivered.
Again, this is why demons will play this kind of heavy, extreme game with some of us, as they know once they can get a person hooked on these kind of addictive substances, they will then knock that person right out of their divine destinies with the Lord. How many potential great men and women of God have never made it to the starting line with the Lord due to the fact that they could never fully break free from their specific addictions?
Once demons see someone starting to dabble and experiment with the above substances, they will waste no time in trying to move in for the kill, as they know they will have the appropriate legal rights to be able to attach to that person.
This is why experimenting or dabbling with some of the above heavier drugs could get you into major trouble in the spiritual realm, as demons just watch and wait for people to punch a hole in their protective hedges by experimenting with these kinds of forbidden substances.
9. False Religions
Our Bible is very clear on this next issue. Per our article titled, The Basics of Salvation Through Jesus Christ, there is only one name and one way into heaven – and that is directly through Jesus Christ and His sacrificial death on the cross.
There are no other ways, no other names, and no other religions in this world that can get us into heaven. Jesus has made it very clear that He, and only He, is the only way into heaven, and that no one will come to His Father unless they come directly through Him.
With Jesus being the only way into heaven, then it can only be expected that demons will try and conjure up as many other “ways” as they possibly can so they can keep people from finding the only one true Way. Hence you have many false religious systems that are still in operation in the world today.
We believe that all of these other false religious systems in the world today are being run by demons, and each one of these areas are major stronghold areas, with some of Satan’s best and smartest demons running all of these false religious systems.
Here are the major false religious systems still in operation in the world today, with each one of them being run by demonic spirits who specialize in each one of these demonic systems:
- Islam
- Jehovah’s Witnesses
- Mormonism
- Hinduism
- Buddhism
- Confucianism
- Shintoism
- Sikhism
- Jainism
- Zoroastrianism
- Spiritualism
- Christian Science
- Hare Krishna
- Scientology
- Kabbalah
- Unification Church
- Freemasonry
- The Children of God
- EST
- Eckanar
- The Forum
- The Way International
- Theosophy
- Rosicrucianism
- Atheism
- Legalism
I know in the politically correct climate we are now all living in, the above statement is very extreme and controversial. But our Bible leaves us with no other logical explanation as to how the big picture is really set up.
In our article on the basics of salvation through Jesus Christ, we have listed all of the verses showing that Jesus Christ is the only way into heaven. I am going to list them once again under this caption so you can see how God the Father is really driving home the point that no one is going to get to Him and where He lives at unless they come through His Son and the blood that His Son has shed for all of us on the cross.
Simply put – we either come through the blood and the cross, or we do not come through at all.
As such, there are no middle grounds or neutral areas for people to walk into if they do not want to accept Jesus.
This is why all of the above religious systems are called “false” religions, because none of them will lead to true eternal salvation with God the Father. They are all dead ends being run by demons.
Once again, here are the most powerful verses in all of Scripture telling us that Jesus Christ is the only way to be able to receive eternal salvation with God the Father:
- “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
- “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all …” (1 Timothy 2:5)
- “There is one body and one Spirit … one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” (Ephesians 4:4)
- Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)
- “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and find pasture … I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:9)
- Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.” (John 11:25)
- Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
- And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35)
- “I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.” (John 6:51)
- “… whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:15-16)
- “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” (John 3:36)
- “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” (John 8:24)
- “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” (John 5:24)
- “… And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; He who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” (1 John 5:11)
- “And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.” (1 John 4:14)
When you read each one of these verses one right after the other, you can really feel the power and authority that is on each one of them, and that God the Father is telling all of us, in no uncertain terms and very easy to understand language, that no one is going to be getting into heaven unless they come directly through His Son Jesus – and that any other ways and any other names in this life are not going to be tolerated and accepted by Him.
The world may want us to have a politically correct tolerance for all of these other false religions of this world, but God the Father is not going to, and as such, and as His direct ambassadors on this earth, we have to tell the rest of the world what the real truth is.
Once you see what the real truth is through Jesus Christ, it is just heart-breaking to see so many people bound up and in captivity to all of these other false religious systems across the world. Millions and millions of people are being held behind enemy lines in all of these other false religions, and they have absolutely no idea and no clue they are all on the wrong side of the fence.
This is one area where Satan and his demons have been very successful across much of the world.
To think that there is only one way, one name, and one faith – and that Satan has managed to create all of these other false religions in order to try and prevent people from finding this one true way is just heartbreaking!
Conclusion
As you can see from this big list, there are demons who literally cover every type of evil we can think of. And to think that all of these evil demons were initially born and created good up in heaven by the Lord.
The Bible tells us that one-third of the angelic host ended up rebelling against God, and as a result, they are now all lost forever and will never, ever get another chance to get back into heaven.
As a result, every single one of these demons have now descended down into the dark side where they have now become nothing but pure evil – and the sum total of their existence is to now live and operate within their function names so they can try and drag all of us down into their lower way of living and then eventually into hell itself.
What a sad and unbelievable reality! And to think that all of these fallen angels had it all at the very beginning of their existence with the Lord.
Knowing some of the basic function names of these demons may help in some of the cases God may bring your way. Again, for the most part, demons will travel in groups or clusters, and when they are allowed to enter into a person’s body, the whole group will then usually move in at once and set up shop. The group will have a head demon, who is known as the chief demon, and the rest of the demons will then be the underlings under his direct control.
At certain times, the Holy Spirit can either give you a word of knowledge or some type of discernment as to what types of demons you are dealing with so you can find out what all of their legal rights may be.
And then once you find out what all of the legal rights are, then you can proceed to properly break all of them before the Lord. And once all of the legal rights have been properly broken before the Lord, the demons will then have nothing else left to hold onto, and they will then be able to be cast out of the person with the appropriate command words.
Knowing some of the basic function names and groupings of these demons will also help in giving us a heads up when demons do try and nip at us from time to time. Knowing what kind of evil they like to specialize in will help tip us off when it really is them attacking us.
If more people knew what the basic functions and games of these demons were, they would not so easily fall prey to some of their specific temptations like murder, suicide, and the different types of addictions. Many cold-blooded murders could have easily been stopped dead right in their tracks if more people would have known they were being played by these demons who specialize in the negative feelings and emotions of hate, rage, anger, and murder.
Demons play some of these people just like fiddles, and they then lead them right off the end of some serious life-and-death cliffs. Again, this is why every single church should have some kind of basic teaching on spiritual warfare so the flock will know how the enemy will try and operate against them.
The Bible has already told us that those who lack knowledge will perish and fall into captivity.
And not having some of this basic knowledge on how demons can move and operate have caused many to have either seriously stumbled in their walks with the Lord, or have knocked some of them right off the playing field of life itself with an early death and departure from this life.
And this was all as a direct result of not knowing how the enemy can move and operate against them.
How many people have been led into murders, suicides, drug addictions, adultery, crime, and perverted sexual lifestyles – all as a direct result of demons playing them on the back end, giving them these unholy desires in the first place, and then prompting them to act out on it – and then with most of these people never stopping to think or analyze where these kinds of unholy desires were coming from in the first place.
Again, a lot of this kind of demonic activity could have easily been stopped dead right at the outset if more people knew how demons really operated behind the scenes.
We will continue to add more articles like this to our Spiritual Warfare section so you can have many of the basics on this part of our walk with the Lord.
Is a sin for a Christian to take alcohol beverage of any kind? The Bible is not explicitly clear on this, which have let people with all kinds of opinion on this.Can you shed light on this issue?
Emmanuel, the intake of alcohol is not evil. I think we can all agree that Jesus did not sin, and he drank on occasion. His first public miracle involved the production of alcohol. It is wine that he offered up during the last supper and proclaimed his blood. Before he died, he said “I thirst.” They gave him wine in a sponge and he drank it. Wine is not evil. It is a symbol of salvation. It is used thus because at that time, there was only one way to make sure drinking water was safe, and that was to put alcohol in it. In that way, Alcohol in moderation became a symbol of salvation, and it is used as such in the bible. (Specific quotes elude me at the moment and I do not have a bible on hand.) Alcohol in itself is not evil. It is the abuse of alcohol that is evil.
Wine is not evil, however, overdoing it is. Too much of anything is unbalanced and God is a God of order. However, I would never tell anyone to drink alcohol, you can drink wine just to taste or help your stomach out for whatever reasons. Wine actually represents doctrine in the scriptures, not alcohol…just clearing that up. 🙂
Responding to what Emmanuel posted: I would to say that you my good fried Emmanuel should want to have a balance knowledge of wine in Bible can you use my email to contact me.Sorry Jesus did not at any time drank acoholic substance of any make.Yes He turned water into wine but wgat sort of wine? It was not intocicating substance or acohol.Himself is the wine of our soul.Wine spaeks of true life satisfaction and all suficiency which He is to the soul.The people drank it and quarel among themselves questioning why such was brought last because it was sufficiently and evidentialy different from all other kind ever bread.In the Old covenant the Priest does take alcohol.In the New covenant The Believer in Christ is a believer Priest and cannot take anything alcoholic.Alcohol general to a true child of God is sin.What Timothy was recommended to take for his stomach was not alcoholic in content wine but what would be call today as alum.What was use by the good Samaritan was what is known today as iodine solution.What Jesus used for representation of His flesh was fruit of the vine that contain no alcohol.Wine was produced by variety of fruit to to produce the kind of wine for what need that arises.I will be ready to help you more even in other areas of need.Thank you wish Christmas with Jesus Christ.
Sorry But factually this is not a true statement, they called Jesus a winebiber and the translation from the aramic to English is alcoholic, if not fermented wine/beer than why call him an alcoholic?
My daughters ex-husband has all of these demons except for number 2 and 8, but he use to drink. I thought I was losing my daughter to Satan that is how bad it got. Now he is onto a new victim. I pray for her and her daughter to be safe, you would think she would be smarter than to fall for it. She is a teacher and this man that has the demons has 3 kinds by three different women. Common denomiator. HIM. I praise the Lord that he answered my prayers to save my daughter, now I hope to do it for someone else, before it is to late. Thank you for explaning the demons for me.
I agree with all but nine, in truth, some of these religions, like Buddhism, are far far more forgiving than ours. A Monk is similar to a nun, they cut off from all worldly distractions, they don’t drink, and they are extremely forgiving … i heard this one case where a cook at a temple stole money from it and killed all but 1 monk, killing his brother and closest friends … AND HE FORGAVE HIM!!, and they believe in virtues, not multiple gods like stereotypes say, some remarkably similar to the Christian Commandments. One last thing … Monks are calm, collective, and will love, care for, and forgive anyone despite what they may have done. Sadly, people seem to forget that our religion was extremely prejudice not 100 years, Buddhism should not be on this list, their far too similar to a nuns and Christian monks, ARE FAR TOO FORGIVING -_-.
Nicole- Unfortunately any teaching that leads people away from accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior should indeed be included on that list. John 1:1 clearly shows that Jesus and God are one. And Jesus says in John 14:6 that no one can go to the Father (to Heaven) except through Him. I know it may be hard to see initially, because you were brought up in that church, but if you pray that God reveal the Truth to you, and He won’t let you down. A good place to start is http://www.gotquestions.org/Romans-road-salvation.html
A Thoughtful Person- Buddhist monks may have all the patience in the world, but unfortunately works alone cannot buy your way into heaven. Someone can be the most loving caring person in the world, but we have all sinned, and therefore can’t bargain our way into Heaven. There has to be some atonement for our sin. In the Old Testament in the bible, they would sacrifice lambs. When Jesus came, He became the sacrifice for the rest of mankind so that’s why we don’t sacrifice animals anymore. However, the only way to take advantage of this sacrifice is to admit that you too have sinned, and to accept the gift that Jesus gave. If monks (or anyone for that matter) does not believe that Jesus is the *only* way to Heaven, then unfortunately, there is only one other place to go.
I know there are so many false religions out there that confuse people. People are like lost sheep, searching for the Truth. But just pray that God open your eyes and you’ll find Him. Open the bible, read the “red letters” those are the words that Jesus spoke, and let His words speak life into you. Ask questions, and let God completely transform your life! 😉
I’ve been able to see entities ever since I can remember. Lately I’ve been seeing A LOT of demons. I know the Lord is with me but, I don’t know why he doesn’t save me from them. I know he protects us, his Sons and Daughters, and i try my best to pray every day. but because of this ive been wondering if God is really cheering for me..or if He gave up on me.. What should I do? I’ve talked to my Youth Pastor and we prayed..can ya’ll pray for me? please? ive been scared out of my mind since this started. What makes it scarier is that im only a 15 yr old ..if anyone has advice can Ya’ll please tell me? -Thank you and God Bless you all
If it was not for my own personal experience as a Christian, I wouldn’t know if I would believe half of the stuff on this website but sad to say it is all true. Does anyone know about demon(s) which actually tries to make you move. That’s my story. If I allowed it…I would be pretty much a muppet on strings but I have no intention in allowing it to deceive me. However, initally, I mistakenly thought it was the Holy Spirit working in me…until it started to show it true colors. It seems to have this particular trait a lot where it wants me to tilt my head backwards to face the sky. Does anyone know of anything similar? I am undergoing deliverance and believe that we will get cast the slimeball out eventually but I figure knowing how it got there might be helpful. I get the impression it may be ancestral and other than the occassional supernatural book pre-christian, I wasn’t into anything deep.
Yes, Jesus is our only way out of depression and stress. Jesus I pray for rest I’m so tired I can’t function in normal society like this. I ask the people on this website to pray for me, I’m so desperate
@Don,
Dear Lord Jesus, I pray that you will hear Don’s prayer and free him from all stress, anguish, depression or whatever else he is battling spiritually. We know that you will never put on us more than what we can bare. (1 Cor. 10:3) Amen! God bless!!
Don,
I will pray for you; please remember his promise to us……follow him…..put one foot in front of the other and follow him……be thankful for him and the holy spirit with lift your heavy chains…
in peace, and in his name, find hope
i have stumbled across this chat room by chance and this will be my only post.
i personally don’t what to believe when it comes to religions, but i don’t see the need to ridicule or try to change the people that have finally managed to find their own way to believe in him/her/them. if “god” is all powerful can he/she/them not choose to appear to different people in different ways or provide them with different paths to to help them understand/relate to him/her/them better to unsure that their belief is strong enough to guarantee entry to the next plain of existence. could not it not be be that all paths of belief lead to the same location??
many thanks for reading.
although I’m expecting lots of people to respond to this post in disgust. i do sincerely offer my apologies however every person in this world is entitled to their own say.
CJ-
You mentioned John 8:58- This scripture does not at all prove God is Jesus. It merely states that Jesus existed before Abraham, which of course is true, as Jesus was God’s first creation.
You also quotes John 10: 31-33, If you read further until John 37, it reads ‘Do you say to me where the father sanctified and dispatched into the world, ‘You blaspheme’ because I said, ‘I am God’s Son?’ If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.’ Jesus himself says in this scripture that he is God’s son! NOT God himself. This scripture can not be interpreted in any other way
You mentioned Isaiah 45:21- Jesus is not saying he is God the Almighty in this scripture, This scripture makes no mention of Jesus Christ himself saying those words, It is Jehovah God his Father saying ‘Is it not I, Jehovah, besides whom there is no other God, a righteous God and a Savior, there being none excepting me?’
The proof that Jesus Christ is Gods Son is mentioned time and time again in the bible, in fact the evidence is overwhelming. Acts 7:55-56- But he, being full of holy spirit, gazed into heaven and caught sight of God’s right hand, and he said ‘Look! I behold the heavens opened up and the Son of man standing at Gods right hand’
Stephen saw BOTH Jehovah God and Jesus Christ, his Son. Two separate beings
Matthew 3:16-17- After being baptized Jesus immediately came up from the water, and, look! The heavens were opened up, and he saw descending like a dove God’s spirit coming upon him. Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: ‘This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.’ In this scripture it is clearly shown Jehovah God was talking to his Son, Jesus Christ, and Jehovah God himself says ‘This is my Son’
Matthew 27: 54- But the army officer and those with him watching over Jesus, when they saw the earthquakes and the things happening, grew very much afraid, saying: ‘Certainly this was God’s Son’
John 3: 16- ‘For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.
Jehovah God sent his Son, not himself, to die for us
Acts 2: 23-24- This (man), as one delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you fastened to a stake by the hand of lawless men and did away with. But God resurrected him by loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to continue to be held fast by it.
God resurrected his Son, Jesus Christ, after he was executed. If God was Jesus, surely he could not resurrect himself! God resurrected HIM, Jesus, not himself
Proverbs 7: 22- ‘Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago.’ Jesus Christ was Jehovah God’s first creation, not God himself
Colossians 1:15 and 20- He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creations. Verse 20- and through him to reconcile again to himself all (other) things by making peace through the blood (he shed) on the torture stake.
John 20:30-31- To be sure, Jesus performed many other signs also before the disciples, which are not written down in this scroll. But these have been written down that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God, and that, because of believing, You may have life by means of his name
Again, Jesus Christ being mentioned as God’s Son, Jehovah God wants us to know that Jesus is his Son
John 14:28- You heard that I said to you, I am going away that I am coming back to you, if you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
Jesus Christ states his Father is Greater than him, therefore he is not God himself, as God is the greatest
John 15:10- If you observe my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have observed the commandments of the Father and remain in his love
Galatians 4: 4- But when the full limit of the time arrived, God sent forth his Son, who came to be out of a woman and who came to be under law
Matthew 16:13-17 Says it all! It reads- Now when he had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus went asking his disciples: ‘Who are men saying the Son of man is?’ They said, ‘Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ He said to them: ‘You, though, who do you say I am?’ In answer Simon Peter said: ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God’ In response Jesus said to him: ‘Happy you are, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal (it) to you, but my Father who is in the heavens did.
What a great bible scripture! It CLEARLY reveals that Jesus Christ is Gods Son!
Jesus Christ NEVER, NOT ONCE said that he himself is Jehovah God. There are other scriptures that prove Jesus Christ is Gods son.
Jesus is the firstborn of God- Colossians 1:15-17, Revelations 3:14
Jesus born of God’s spirit, with destiny in heaven – Matthew 3:16, 17
Jesus exalted higher than during prehuman existence – Philippians 2:9,10
Jesus obedient in heaven SENT by Father- John 8:42, 12:49
Jesus obedient on earth, Father greater- John 14: 28, 5:9, Hebrews 5:8
Jesus exalted in heaven, still subject- Philippians 2:9, 1 Colossians 15:28, Matthew 20:23
Jehovah is Christs head and God- 1 Colossians 11:3, John 20: 17, Revelations 1:6
I feel that I have already proven with these scriptures and the others I mentioned in my previous comment that Jesus Christ is Gods Son and I have no more to say on the subject. Whether you believe this or not is up to you
@Nicole,may i ask, are you a born again Holy Spirit filled follower and believer of Jesus Christ? I see where scripture has been posted throughout your comments, but i know even satan comes as an angel of light and knows scripture.. This post of yours causes doubt, and an unstable mind, and it is written: for God is not a God of confusion 1 Corinthians 14:33
Throughout the word of God, there are several references to Jesus, God and Holy Spirit being ONE.
Genesis 1:26
John 1:1
john 1:14
John 10:30
Matthew 1:23
John 14:16-17, :20,
John 5:7-8
1 Peter 1:1-2
Ephesians 4:4-6
John 14:9-11
John 10:30
John 8:56-59
and 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaaven, the Father, the Word (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit, AND THESE THREE ARE ONE.
i will not go into detail on the God the Father and Holy Spirit, who is God in every true born again believer, as i am trying to answer your post. Belief! I pray you ask for forgiveness and repent for the unbelief and doubt you placed not only in your heart but the potential damage to others who are seeking truth.
Scriptures have a way of being misinterpreted or taken out of context, and this is why and where the Holy Spirit guidance is imperative in leading us into ALL TRUTH. We must look to Him to help for everything and in everything.
Please do not take offense to my post, but I was taken aback from your post, and actually others placing, doubt, and causing others to stumble. We must be careful. especially during these times. We are instructed throughout the word of God “DO NOT BE DECEIVED!” And I know there is an enemy out there using willing vessels to accomplish his dirty work.
Again, seek guidance, direction, wisdom and understanding from Holy Spirit…we have not because we ask not.
Be blessed.

First off, you say “any involvement with mediums or spiritists.” Umm…I don’t know how to put this but I’ve read a book about Spiritist healers from Brazil, and they aren’t bad at all. They are able to heal most of their patients. By being possessed by the spirits of people long ago, they are able to get to the root of the problem and fast. Also, the patients don’t feel any pain when they get the needles jabbed into them or some of their body is cut open…without anesthetics that you would receive form your doctor who practices in biomedicine. (Because the patients have already entered a trance state by hearing the testimonies of others who have been healed by their Spiritist healer, thus their own bodies create enough endorphins to ward away the pain.)
How is hypnotism dangerous? Only someone who is willing to be hypnotized is hypnotized. Once one is hypnotized, he is susceptible to suggestibility of the hypnotizer, but that doesn’t mean the hypnotizer is in complete control. He can only SUGGEST his “victims” to do things that they wouldn’t mind saying or doing in front of a public audience. Because of this, hypnotism is used to evoke laughter for entertainment. For example, the hypnotizer may have his “victims” give birth to their make-believe baby and give it a name, or tell them to shout at the crowd “stop laughing!” every time there is laughter. There’s no danger.
Witchcraft? I’m sorry about the witches I know about aren’t evil or dangerous. Wicca isn’t a synonym for Satan worship. The word “wicca” means “to bend” or “to twist.” And no, witches don’t have sex with the devil or torment children or do whatever negative actions you think they might perform. Wicca is a RELIGION, not a cult. To be pledge that you are a witch means you worship Mother Earth aka nature. Where’s the danger in that? None…except perhaps being misunderstood by people of other religions.
Voodoo? Honestly. If you’re going to bring it up, at least spell it right. There are a few correct names it goes by, but I’ll stick to Vodoun. Vodoun is a RELIGION, not black magic. “Voodoo” is the evil picture of the Vodoun religion that has been made by Hollywood. Ever heard of the story of The Serpent and the Rainbow by Wade Davis? He addresses many of the Vodoun beliefs throughout his book. Maybe you should read it, and you’ll see there’s nothing in evil or dangerous in their belief system.
Oh, and lastly. The God I know loves anyone from any religion. He’s not going to say “no” to anyone who approaches him at the Gates of Heaven. I’m deeply sorry and worried that you guys “believe that all of these other false religious systems in the world today are being run by demons, and each one of these areas are major stronghold areas, with some of Satan’s best and smartest demons running all of these false religious systems.”
With love,
a future anthropologist
@:/, Look up soul ties, familiar spirits and necromacy…this should open your eyes to what God considers abominations. Witchcraft is an abomination. Any practice of looking to others or things outside of His will, is going in a wrong direction and will cost you an eternity without Jesus.
there is a list of all the so called bad religions what about the list of all the true religions of god ? i think any church that prays to jesus christ and strives to be just like him would be a good religion for example mormons . im not mormon but i think their christian religion is as good as any they tell the same message as all the other christian religions .
I was doing personal research on folklore’s of different cultures when i came across this site and i gotta say some of you are a harsh bunch of people. i am a religious person myself but you guys get too intense. and I’m not saying that’s a bad thing by any means but i believe some of you need to take a step back and calm down, because reading some of theses post and this website in general i mean wow its hardcore definitely but it made me sad and sick to see how you guys act and squabble. Not all post were bad though. well good luck and ill pray for you guys
I have been reading through these, and a lot of you are arguing over this different belief thing. As my person account of the bible, I believe in God, Jesus, and the holy ghost. And that they are all one. I don’t say that any of you are wrong, because all the answers will be answered once we are in heaven. I respect all denominations, so please don’t take this in a wrong manner.
NO denomination is wrong, as long as you accept Jesus as your savior, and let him work withing you.
With Love,
Little One
Christianity is not a religion its a way of life… religion is a man made word for confusion.
I agree…
Religion is also oppressive; it strips people of their God-given free will and it creates bondage and fear in the life of the follower. There is no freedom nor grace in religion. Religion calls for people to follow laws and man-made traditions and rituals that have to be modified to keep up with current times. What is even worse, is that these laws have already been fulfilled by Jesus’s death on the cross. Religion does not emphasize Jesus Christ died to make us free so we don’t have to do good deeds to earn God’s acceptance or our entry into Heaven. Religion teaches that we must work to gain God’s acceptance and to get into Heaven or we must follow a set of laws. In truth, our faith in Jesus Christ gains us God’s acceptance and entry into Heaven. Our faith in Jesus Christ also allows us a personal, precious relationship with God, Our Father. Having a relationship with God does not require us to have to work or do good deeds to get Him to accept us, love us, and provide for us. Religion tells us we do and that is a lie that Satan wants us to believe.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray that those bound by religion be set free by the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. Sin came into the world by man, Adam, and sin was removed from the world by the God-man, Jesus Christ. Humans were found guilty in God’s trial court for committing sin and Jesus Christ voluntarily stepped in and accepted our death sentence; He died on the cross to save us from this judgment. If that is not the ultimate expression of love, I do not know what is.
About false religion, i don’t think Confucianism is really bad i mean ‘do to others what you would want them to do to you’ that’s from Confucianism. people who follow that religion don’t really worship a god they just follow what they think is right. i like Confucianism it can’t be a sin and much less has anything to do with demons.
Can someone tell me how Dungeons and Dragons is evil?
Hi, I’ve been reading many of the articles in this site and I have learned so much as well as have received alot of confirmation of what I’ve learned so far. However, I am confused about what to do in my particular situation because there is so much. I believe my family has been targeted BIG-TIME by these demons because of all the problems we’re having and have had over the years. Many people have just been amazed about all that’s gone on in our family over the years and mostly what’s happening right now, even with what we have seen in our home. I’m struggling, this has been very stressful and embarrassing for me, my family is in crisis and even though I’m somewhat relieved to know it’s been demonic all this time, I’m also a little scared because I’m anxious to stop them immediately, but really don’t know where to start. I’ve done many things so far to war against these demonic attacks and have seen some changes, but not alot and because of what’s going on, time is of the essence.
Would it be possible for someone to contact me? I’m not sure, but I feel there’s way too much to share in a comment box. However, I will if it will help someone else.
Thank You and God Bless!
I love this message on Bible-Knowledge,com, most Christians have absolutely no idea Satan and his Demons exist…..AND THERE TRYING TOO KILL YOU, thank you for the reality check, it is biblical and should be understood in all Christian churches, Thank you Bible-Knowledge.com.
I have horrible mental illness and I have noticed a severe change for the better since I have been praying everyday and saying The Holy name of my savior Jesus Christ out loud. I still have problems with sin, but I work on it everyday. This article was helpful to learn about the enemy.
Also, Is it rude to tell someone with a big ole budda statue in gold in there living room, ” I don’t feel comfortable in your house. You worship idols.” In fact I hate it. I don’t want anything to do with it. She always wants us to touch the belly for luck. Creepy. You can’t pick your boyfriends relatives. And what do you do when these people get mad at you for what you believe in? I am a Practicing Catholic. I am just trying to stand strong and stay away from them. What should I be doing?
My uncle has been going to the hospitals on and off basis.Due to pain in his stomach.He Addams are horrified due to the pain.He had it for three yrs and Doctors can’t find the cause of it cause everything in his testing comes out normal.Can that be a demonic attack?
David,
Yes, there are spirits of infirmity who will attack the physical body. You will need to get discernment from the Lord to see if this is what is causing his problems.
Mike
Okay… So I am researching Necromancy, I am not a bad person or a “demon” I am just curious. Yes I am classified as a “heathen” because I don’t believe the same as you do. No offence to these people or the author of this article I am just stating my opinion because I believe that every one deserves the right to. I see this article as pretty arrogant I play dungeons and dragons and I have never had a demon knock on my door. Every Friday I go to my uncles house to play dungeons and dragons as a family event. I have been doing this since I was around the age of 8 (I am a lot older now). I also use Tarot cards still no demons. I got them because I was curious and wanted to see what they were all about. I recently started researching on Necromancy because I am dating a girl who is pretty religious and she told me that talking to the dead and learning my future was against gods will. So I looked it up apparently she was right. I do not see how ever that these little cards that I bought from a book store will bring Satan into my home ( oh yeah I have had these cards for 8 years and when I first got them used them every day).My family does seem to have ties with spirits but they are not bad either. My whole life I have grown into this family and every house I have lived in has been “haunted”. One came to my father in a dream and said he was going to be there to “help take care of some things” when asked what things he replied “nothing you need to concern your self about WE WILL take care of it for you”. This spirit addressed him self as Mike he had one arm and was on a small fishing boat. The same spirit came to my mother at the same time. Mike has seemed to keep the bad out of our lives. I do not see Mike as a demon for his words and actions never seemed like they were those of a demon. So before you go marking spirits or angels as demons give them a chance for they may know something. AND if you have problems call your all mighty god to take care of it. Or if your like me call on Mike. Just remember we are all just ants looking at a mud puddle seeing a ocean… God is bigger than what we could ever imagine.
I agree with the fact that theese are indeed games played by demons. I also agree that theese types of behaviors can and most definitely do result in demons being introduced to ones life. I disagree on the names as well as the notion that they specialize in only one type of sin. The angels serve multiple purposes as do we. The fallen ones only need an in, then they can and will attack your weak points. Also you forgot smoking, cigarettes are an in as well. God bless all who are reading this article!!
Is anyone on here a free thinker? If so please I would LOVE to hear your comments on this matter!
Hi Hicks,
We are all free thinkers… The thing is; we have already made up our minds!
Most of us take the “god issue” pretty serious and hope that others will see things the way we do. Free thinking or free will is your choice to believe or not. I am not going to try and convince you that God exist.
If you were honest about “Mike” you already probably believe in spirits / ghosts and you probably already believe there is more to this world other than just the physical.
From my point of view, Satan and his demons is all to happy to have you “protected” as long as you don’t start following God / Jesus. Next time you see Mike, ask him if he believes Jesus is God and to say Jesus’ name but be carefull chances are he will not like to talk about it.
i really thank you for this, it has opened my eyes.
i prey to God for strenght to fight back this demons. amen
Hicks, could you be more specific? Asking for thoughts from a truly “Free thinker” is sorta vague. My husband is getting his PhD in philosophy of religion, and we devote most of our ministry to helping teach others reasons for what we believe, and not just an indoctrination of what to believe. In our experience, people touting themselves as “free thinkers” are trying to equate “free thinking” with anything that is not inline with traditional ortho-Judaic values, and more specifically in America, traditional Christian beliefs. Yes, America was founded on christian principles, but that doesn’t now equate to NOT being a free thinker if you agree/believe similar things.
I’ve weighed my faith. I personally feel that I would have to check my brain at the door if I were to not believe in the Christian God, and in the Biblical Christ. (but i know plenty of wonderful people who feel the opposite) So having gone through that process, I’ll stand up and say yes. I’m a free thinker. What specifically would you like my thoughts on. This is a pretty long article.
i find this website very helpfull i have went through atleats most of these types of sins and now finaly i believe it everyting with every sin their is a demon telling us to do it they alter our mind and it gets worser as they get stronger until the day most of us wake up to this the better from reading all that was writing above i most say 95percent of people i no have these demons leading to these probloms and sins..the world is getting worser as the demons are getting stronger and controlling alot of people i aint here to judge but i have found the right path now and shall now carry on living the good path i know it will be hard because these demons will always try their best to get to me but aslong as i have the lord in my heart i shall have no fear and i will be in the best and unimaginaly place with the lord someday take care everyone god bless
It is not just enough to have JESUS in our hearts, If we truely have Him in our hearts then we must seek His will out and study the Bible like He did He knew the scripures and spoke them when satan came around or when evil came in all diffrent forms. He fought all of hell with the Word of the Father GOD. We must stdy and applie the Word daily if we are to help others and advance in our walk. It is not enough to just exsept JESUS in our hearts and go back to fallowing the World, thats what satan wants! JESUS is LORD. mATT.6:33 “SEEK YE FIRST THE KINDOM OF GOD”
Go ahead and express your PRIDE in this belief and FEAR demons/hell so much that you become HARD-HEARTEDNESS towards human kind. Sure, humans are not perfect but lord forbid that he gives the gift of life and the baby is a TRANVESTITE. Go ahead and tell your kids that when they have a nightmare and are AFRAID that they are sinning.-Yeah, totally not going to end in a MENTAL ILLNESS later in their life.
Maybe you should all learn how to spell pray (not prey) before you JUDGE other people or start to pray. If you actually were intellegent in the least you could possibly have a free mind and choose for yourself what you want to believe. Like this’ll make a difference… oh well.
ps. DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS KICK ASS!
duces.
oh really so i say my view point and the person on the other end desides that my say means nothing. you people are pathetic. well it doesnt matter anyways. just remember all those so called bad feelings you get and temptations are nothing more then your mind making them up because your scared of what is enevitable. your site is stupid and retarded. you should just go off yourself and make it better for everyone else to not have listened to your ideas.
I failed to include in my comments to this article that…..when I met the man I married, he told me his earliest memory was of being in the womb of a woman in labor and that her baby was stillborn. “Someone else” was in that dead baby with him and “it” took him into the womb of the other pregnant woman in that hospital room. There was a “struggle” and “they” pushed out the soul of that woman’s baby. This baby, born alive, became the body for my husband’s soul (and “who else”?)
This has good information. I’m religious myself, But I play Dungeons and Dragons. Does that make me an occult member or some sort orf worshiper? no. I’ve had my friends mom throw out their D&D books when they were young. She writes and publishes religious books. But, she eventually let them play D&D. Does this make her bad? Or them Bad as well? no. And physics is science, what makes science so bad towards religion? Without science, we wouldn,t be living at all. How else can we mass produce animals to feed our own race? Or have technology that helps us survive through winter and summer without having millions of deaths from freezing, or Heat strokes. Sure we still have those, But the numbers are slim.
I rest my case.
If I were to point out that by saying your religion is the only ‘right’ one, then wouldn’t you be prideful for saying that? Or how about your fear of demons? If role playing games are works of demons then what games like Call of Duty? Articles like this are why people view religion with disdain and disgust. Is there a higher power? Quite possibly. Though, if there were, would it want the entire human race fighting and killing each other over what they should call their deity? As far as I’m concerned, you have no right (aside from your narcissistic divine given right) to impose a religion on anyone. You may also want to fact check on a lot of your ‘demon caused ailments’ schizophrenia is caused by a chemical (oh damn, science, blasphemy) imbalance in the serotonin receptors in our brains not some magical pixie. the reason have a fear response is because we evolved it out of a need for survival. We are scared of snakes because some are deadly, we are scared spiders for the same reason. You may continue to believe what you want and I will do the same, but do not say what I think is wrong.
Also If ‘with god all things are possible’ is true, why is there no world peace, still world hunger, constant threat of nuclear war, world poverty, etc?
To the writer of this article,
Would you mind telling me where in the Bible does it prove that certain demons are responsible for specific sins? This question is not meant to attack you, but is derived from sheer curiousity. I’ve been looking for biblical evidence to support this idea, because the idea is so popular. If you could provide me with specific passages, I’d be grateful.
You have all missed the main point of this article: to make people aware of what the different demons are and their functional names so to better recognize them if you are exposed to them in your life and how to rid yourself or someone you love of these demons. For those that made ridiculous and VERY bad grammatical comments, you are either completely dense or are purposely wanting to block God’s influence in your lives. If that is the case, it would explain some of the more long-winded and pointless comments made here. The bottom line, Biblically, and cannot be refuted though many throughout history have tried, is that the ONE AND ONLY way to God is through His Son, Jesus Christ. A true Christian is someone who walks in faith and Truth, and is not too proud (A DEMON) to acknowledge their own shortcomings, repent them, and allow God’s Grace, Mercy, Love and Truth to sustain their lives! I have been a Christian for almost twenty years and I have struggled and fallen, like most of the world. However, what makes me different than most of the population is that I hold onto God’s Word, according to what is written in the Bible, and I believe His promises to His children (US). God gave His one and only Son, so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (JOHN 3:16)..I have known and claimed that amazing Truth since I became a Christian! What your comments here prove, is that you did not truly understand the meaning of this article and that you do not see God’s truth. There are a few here who I can see stand in His Light, but the majority of the comments here were not only meant to be rude and ignorant, but just goes to prove who is actually being controlled by demons in their lives! Nowhere in the Bible does it say becoming a Christian will make your life EASIER..it is only promised that God will lead us the Truth, protect us with His strength, allow us to have discernment, to cast out demons, restore what is broken, etc. Those of you who commented just to make an argument, were not on here for the truth anyway. I will pray for you, and ask God to lead you to the Truth and cast out your demons, for I can see myself that there are some of you who are being led by them..Demons are not stupid, and they can see and are afraid of those who truly stand for Christ, because His Word HURTS them! They cannot stand under His Word because their power lies in lies, anger, maligning of character, and all that is NOT of God. For those that refuse to see the Truth, I was once like you and have seen the power demons can be allowed to have in someone’s life if they are given the chance! Demons cannot stand in the Light, for they are made of Darkness!! I hope that for most of the people that read this, they will know it is not I who is condemning them, for they have already condemned themselves by refusing God, by denying His Son, and allowing worldly views to make their decisions for them. There may not seem to be that many of us in the world that follow God, but there is, and we will continue to do spiritual battle against the forces of darkness that would deprive a hurting world of the saving Holy Spirit and the Love of God from those that need it most, which in truth is all of us. Some of us, however, will sadly never see the Truth, and will, for certain, go to Hell, which unlike media representation is not a place of fire and “good times”, as some blasphemic songs would have people believe, but is in fact, eternal darkness , a nothingness, complete and utter separation from God. My prayer for all who read this article and any others written here, is that God will lead you to the Truth, and that the demons that are controlling you are destroyed by your choice to allow that Truth to change your life. May God bless you all and keep you.
So the islam and other religions are demons/, well whoever wrote tjhis is surely posessed by demon cause they only want money. Im christian . I guess carholics and vatican is bull. Maybe not they just corrupted as every other religion. I read this and I laugh, Who wrote this. What and knowledge is bad.? Like numerology is considered part of mathematics hahaah/ Believe me it works or palm reading is proven facts. Dna, science it works thats why catho;ics are corrupted like every mmajor group. If you ever read bible you would surely know that god put us into different languages. Or maybe you just dont see whats in the air, beside the air and 5% which is mass of all mass is paraller multiverse asnd the rest 95% of so called dark matter and dark energy, which have so many different particles and other things you cant even imagine. Educate. You stupid and alot want to show off cause they have demon of showing off I guess. When you read this I will hear your thoughts, cause thats me not demon. Im psychic and I know how it works. but I wont tell build your own tools with your own soul.
The truth is religion is just a way to show what your beliefs are. As long as you truly believe in God, forgive your sins, and also accept Jesus as your savior. I dont know all the religions. I am a christian myself, but it doesnt matter. It states in the bible that accept Jesus as your savior and to stay faithful to God. Truly there is no right or wrong religion as long as you follow Gods comman, which is to stay faithful to God and accept Jesus as your savior.
There are many Little gods,There is only one truly and living God,one Creator,I believe in THE Almighty God of Heaven and Earth, God the Father sent his only begotten Son into this world to Redeem us from our Sins,You can say what you want that there are other Dark forces in this World,If one doesn’t believe 2nd Timothy 2:15 says study to show thyself approved unto God,a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,rightly diviiding the word of truth, the word of God,Also Read,Read,Read,1 John saya,Beloved,believe not every spirit,but try the spirits whether they are of God:because many false prophets are gone out into the world.Hereby know ye the Spirit of God:Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God;and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God ;and this is the spirit of antichrist,whereof ye have .heard that it should come;and even now already is in the world.David said he hide the word in his heart that ,he wouldn’t sin against God.
Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart,be acceptable in thy sight,
O,Lord,my strength,and my redeemer. Jesus is only a prayer away,Don’t debate,Read James 1:5
i have a demon that pulls me out of my bed at night and scratch me on my body. i do not know what to do about it can you help me. this is a nightly thing. i read my bible hoping for some peace.then i pray. linda
To Adam83, what an arrogance, where there’s a spirit of God there’s humility because we all have sinned under this sun until one receives Jesus Christ as your Savior. You may go to church, believe you better than me or anybody, the most important thing is what God things about you! I’m a child of God through my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus, thus knowing the grace God provided for me and you by giving away his only begotten son to die on the cross like a criminal. Being a Christian is not much what you say although we have to preach this gospel, but at the same time we should allow the Holy Spirit to take control of our lives in that case we live for Christ with the power given to us by our Lord Jesus. Being a church goer makes no difference, we all need Jesus in our hearts. Today, we have people that are without Christ… joining Pentecostal churches and lead worship groups because they can sing. People who call themselves psychics, like you just did… but listen, the dead and the living have no way of communication, all the circus we see and hear, I would say it’s not of God as per my Bible and yet you sound proud calling yourself a Christian and a psychic, common wake up, READ! READ! and READ God’s Word!
Otherwise, my bible says, let them grow up together, until harvesting time… that’s when one knows which is which, because you can now see sugar cane, corn… otherwise they all look alike! God knows the heart…we may talk and talk, but are we the light of the world? Are we the salt of the earth? God Bless you and seek the Lord while there’s still time because you really need him, if not ask God to baptize you with the Holy Spirit, only him can tame your tongue!

Hi, I just read this site, and it makes sense. Because I have been praying for my sister for years but don’t see any change.

Demons work through people such as those who pretend to be Christian friends. Be aware of who you spend time with. Put on the full armor of God by reading His word, pray for discernment, wisdom, knowledge and understanding. When the Holy Spirit alerts you to something being off don’t blow it off like it is just a strange coincident. Don’t go a day without God’s word and communicating with God or you could easily be lead into one sin and then another and it can keep going. Satan’s demons are hard at work. Satan knows he is headed for hell for eternity. He wants to take as many with him as he can. He is the father of lies. All religions that point anywhere other than to the one true God is from Satan. Powers that come from different religions and practices comes from Satan. Divination comes from demons that are working under Satan. There is a difference between prophesying and divination. Please beware of people who practice different religions. I pray over this by the blood of Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior, and in Jesus’ name. Take care and God bless.
Wow. All I can say is that People do perish due to lack of knowledge. Lucifer is a fallen angel and knows the words like the palm of his hand. If we don’t know the word, have a relationship with God and learn about demons and how the enemy uses his tactics against us. We are in deep deep trouble. God is not just inspirational His word is powerful. Thank you so much for this amazing lecture. I have learned so much from this article of truth. I am beyond thankful for this.
wow 🙂 God is good !!!! woohoo
the lord has been putting (or leading) me to reading different things about spiritual warfare . reading this and reading about all the types of demons there are can only strengthen and make me more aware of the continual battle and attack we are under! I just thank the lord that I have been delivered and can put on the full armour of god..
Dungeons and Dragons – role-playing games. The fact that this is supported by deomons makes me believe that this site is not 100% true. As i was reading through this I found many things I believe to be true, but the fact that your talking about how role playing games specifically are sinfull makes me a little upset. Video games are a virtual reality and the only real thing about them is the fact you make your own decisions, like “will I kill this dragon ir na”. Stick to the facts and dont try to add things that you think are sinfull when there is no mention of them in the bible, thank you.
i will agree with this except one thing. one of the vices that lucifer will use on a person is “oh the person knew what they were doing. they know right from wrong” yes the do or did. but with the problem with wicked and evil when they use the diabolical force against you and mind control the person has no desense against the force. this mean that due to the force and mind control the henious acts of satan are done anyway and this is classified as involuntary do to diabolical force used against the person..satan lucifer and his accompliaces use force against them selves actually committing these henious crimes against thinking oh well its the power that made them do it as raping and impregnation with their sperm and all the henious acts of satan mentioned above..but if you use the power on your selves this is called voluntary sinning against another person…involuntary sin god will always forgive no matter how henious the crime ( except sins against the holy spirit….same with murder as an example……a person is murdered…the person is who appeared to have murdered is sentenced to life. the person is now an outcast to society. when god judges this person he will judge on voluntary or involuntary. if the person involuntary committed murder do to diabolical sorcery being used against the person god will for give…it is the person who used sorcery against the person who will be condemned for sinning against another person…. as the bride i fight with satan and his demons every day…as free i or my son are’t under the rule of demonic forces…but they wouldn’t listen.
Well i do like what i read its all great it gives great understanding .but if your not called to case out spirits i wouldn’t be doing it .many churches teach just have faith and go case out spirits .but if your not told chosen by Jesus to case them out your doing self will not god will.any one casting out spirits chosen knows this and teaches this because Jesus will teach them this .
The Bible says Satan can’t cast out Satan, I tell you this if you are in an environment where you need to used the Authority that Jesus gave you, Don’t depend on no one else, he said he gave us all power to cast out Demons, ask the
Holy Ghost for direction .Jesus told his Disciples “He wouldn’t be with them always”.It’s time to grow up , if you are face with any type of situation. Who are you going to call,
I am a young man who is constantly fighting with these types of demons on a daily basis.Thank you for the information,I will use this to my advantage and try to convince some of my peers to do the same. I can tell that the end is near for us
For help, please also reference these Bible scriptures. Apply what Jesus is telling you here because Fasting and Praying to cast out demons and break strongholds does work.
Also, when you are sick, remember “The Woman with the Issue of Blood for 12 Years”; she was serious, persistent, and did not care what other people thought. She went to extremes to get her healing and it worked because her heart was faithful so you must remember this when reading James 5:13-18. Yes, it’s calling for you to go to extremes for your healing, but isn’t that how bad you want your healing?:
Matthew 17:14-21*, Mark 9:25-29*, James 5:13-14*,15-18.
I pray that we all as a human race come into the true knowledge of God and embrace it and hold onto it like we hold onto our worldly treasures because our acceptance of the truth, i.e. the Gospel, will bring us into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
I read the comment regarding Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses where the person said that they are not sure that they are false religions because they knew very nice Mormons.
Hey, I know very nice atheists…there is a that doesn’t mean that I adhere to a belief system that is contrary to the Word of God. We need to come to the understanding that it is what the Word of God says that is important, not or feelings.
We are not saved by feelings. The Word repeatedly tells us throughout scripture the path to salvation. Ephesians 2 5-8- For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, Not of works, lest any man should boast.
If it were based on how nice we were, we wouldn’t need Jesus. I hope this helps. I know I have wrestled with my Jehovah Witness friends and relatives but I can clearly see that they teach a completely different doctrine. Please do your research and prayerfully ask God for guidance
Great article. Very enlightening. My only disappointment was a glaring omission in the list of false religions. A religious system which has stood in the path of the evangelical gospel throughout most of church history, which has murdered the true followers of Christ and is working overtime to quench the light of the true gospel today in much of Latin America, Northern Ireland, The Phillippines and any other place where the pure gospel is strong. A religion which has a greater following than all (or at least most) of those you mentioned except maybe Islam. A system which, although it pays lip service the Lord Jesus Christ (as do Mormonism and Jehovah witnessism) it promotes a distorted view of fundamental biblical doctrines. This is a system which shows every indication of being the antichrist system of which we are warned in 2Thessalonians ch 2, Revelations ch 17 etc.
ROMAN CATHOLACISM AS A DANGEROUS BEAST. Below a veneer of Christianity it teaches a salvation through sacraments and a hatred of any person who disagrees with it. IT IS ENERGISED BY SATAN HIMSELF.
Yes that WAS the 1 missing from that list! Hah, I scrolled kinda eagrely to see it listed among them. and was disappointed it wasnt clearly listed there.
But Yes— the Catholic church with the worship of Mary (+that is not the real individual Mary of course) ………… Is the woman riding the Best which is about2B the Catholic church united with the Anti-Christ “1 world” system. … Destination Hell.
but Praise TheLord … for letting us in-on this Holy inside information! (against what ‘the world’ would say) All this wisdom & sharp discernment —> For right now as we are in The Time of The End.
I say & Pray, “Bring it on Lord!!! Come LordJesus ~and Bring on The Tribulation!” not even joking.
In my experience as a Catholic, we were never taught that we can gain salvation through the sacraments and we were never taught to hate others, but rather to love others. We have never worshiped Mary or other saints. Jesus is our savior. We worship God. The Catholic Church is composed of individuals who can make mistakes and may not have all the knowledge, but they do not represent the whole Church itself. It’s just strange for others to speak about Catholicism in this way, when these are just not true in the first place.
The sacraments play an important role but it’s not like just a simple performance of actions or some kind of ceremony and then immediately gaining salvation.
Alcohol is not a forbidden substance in the Bible. It is written: “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.” – 1 Timothy 5:23
The key is moderation and control. Will chocolate also be forbidden because it is an aphrodisiac unless eaten in moderation and control? Of course not!
I have been reading all your articles, and I can truly say they have blessed me.
BUT, we have come to the parting of the ways where you say Demons are the cause of Mental Illness. I have mental illness in my family, and I can say without a doubt that it is genetic, in the genes and not from Demons. I do agree that they will go after anyone with a weakness, physical or mental, but they are not the cause of the condition. I can honestly say, I cannot live without my medication, for I truly believe that God works with your medication to make you well. But just because we disagree on this one point….it will not keep me from Bible Knowledge, cause I think it is a blessing to many who are lucky enough to find it.
@Patricia, please read the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy and you will find that the Lord Himself curses people that disobey Him. He tells us He will strike us with every illness written in the law and not written in the law. What the world calls genetic illness is actually generational curses in the Bible.
Thank you so much for these great informative article on demons and spirits demonic spirits. I have learned so much just by reading these articles I want to know more thank you again I want to share these articles with my family and friends.
As far as I can remember, up until 5 years ago….I have suffered at the hands of several (mostly literally) that are truly narcissistic and evil; older and younger sisters (enabled by mom), boyfriends, 2 ex husbands and my mom. Before I met my daughter’s sperm donor (sd), GOD brought to me an amazing level of healing toward my mom I hadn’t experienced before; I was celibate, went to church regularly, read The Word several times a week…even though, I was still very depressed, I enjoyed life with GOD and my mom. Then, I met the sd and everything went downhill. I feel like the enemy was so enraged that he sent the worst “wolf in sheep’s clothing” to try and destroy me to the point of death. After leaving the worst one (sd), God gave me the strength and Wisdom to find out what and why these people are evil. I came across narcissistic personality disorder and I came to an understanding this was the scientific explanation. GOD allowed me to reconnect with a Sister In CHRIST and she reminded me that the Biblical explanation is the jezebel spirit. I came upon your website researching this spirit. I don’t think she is to the point of wanting to kill us….tbh, she’s not smart enough….is this the same or a different spirit? We are currently under attack by a girl who is truly narcissistic and has turned almost all other girls in the community against us. This doesn’t bother me BC I know it’s the fact that we shine His Light and the darkness hates it. I’m just wondering why we keep being pestered so fiercely by them?
I read nothing here about unclean spirits.
Mentioned often in the gospels and in the book of Acts, unclean spirits may fall into one or more of the above categories; spiritual possession, illness, debilitating afflictions, spiritual utterances, etc.
Biblical word studies do not seem to indicate if the descriptive term “unclean spirit” is a function name, type of demon, disembodied human spirit, or some other category of spirit – or even if its simply a generic reference to fallen angels in general. Yet they are a fact of life.
A few years ago, I had an enlightening discussion with a missionary to Guatemala about unclean spirits. He claimed he’d heard the touch of one of these actually made its victim feel dirty. Unsaved people there believed loud noises would scare them away and often paid people to explode fireworks in and around their homes to defeat unclean spirits. During his stay in country, the missionary said he assisted with rescue and clean up operations when a man who manufactured small explosives blew up his home. So who won the battle – the demon or the missionary?
Personally, I believe only Christ can save a person from such infestation, but then again who am I to say such things?
that’s me, hollering from the choir loft…
I am a member of The Church if Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. As you can tell we believe in Jesus Christ and He is the cornerstone to our religion. We whole-heartedly believe in the Bible, that it is the Word of Christ. Because we also have other historical records that testify of Christ, we are commonly referred to as “Mormons”. Only people who know nothing of our religion or what we believe would think we worship anyone other than Jesus Christ. We are Christians through and through. I just wanted to clear that up. I have been doing much research on demons and how they operate and I appreciate the information you have provided. Through Christ all men can be free!
I am also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I would love to add my testimony also. We have been referred to as Mormons for a very long time, but our correct church name is what you read above. We believe the Bible is the Word of God. Our family studies the bible regularly. I have a firm and unwavering testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ. He has been by my side my whole life. I have had so many miracles, big and small, that prove He loves me and knows me personally. Thank you for the information on this site! I appreciate the time you have put into this! It has been very helpful!
One question, do you believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God and that we have salvation through faith in Him and His death and resurrection ALONE?
If the answer is yes, then you aren’t a Mormon.
If the answer is no, then you are not a Christian and deny the very nature of Jesus Christ and His work on earth. I am sorry but I am only telling you what the Bible says. If you get the divinity of Christ wrong and/or salvation wrong, this is not Christianity and there are many denominations even within the so-called mainstream Christian denominations that deny this. They too, sadly, are wrong
I want to know more.I think the Devil is using my husband with all his demonic spirit to destroy our home/family, finances, marriage, business, etc. Please pray with me.
I was raised a First Baptist, but my parents never went, just forced me to go. I stopped going in my teens, and constantly got into trouble with some things that would be hard to tell. I was not very good, and simply did not care about people at all. Went to jail a few times. My parents were not religious and my dad was constantly talking about the “BLACKS”. My family was from the south, and was into the “CLAN”..Only thing i ever heard about religion was to stay away from the crazy JEHOVAH WITNESSES. I ran into a young girl when i was 18 and ended up marring her, mainly to get away from my father because he used to beat the crap out of me. My wife’s family were all Jehovah Witnesses, but she promised me that she would not go back. Well, me being drink all the time with 3 little kids, she re-joined. THERE WAS NOT GOING TO BE ANY RELIGION IN MY HOUSE! All we did was fight, mostly about religion, and i tried to stop her from going, but could not. She left me, and really i was lost. We got right back together and that has been 54 years ago. Mostly all we have ever fought about was her religion. I have 2 grown kids , and she had one.. She has been the best wife i could ever have asked for.. As far as religion goes, i believe that what ever the person believes in, and sticks to is just fine. She is very devoted, more than most people would be. Attends meetings at least 3 or 4 times a week. Then i see some fool had the gall to call Jehovah Witnesses a cult. Only Jehovah God can judge that, not some fool on earth.
her religion was called a CULT by someone on here. I am 73 years old and have been sick for over 10 years with several operations, almost died, had a perferated ulcer, lost over 60 pounds, was in a coma, had to heal in a Hyperberic Chamber, and was in a nursing home learning how to walk over again at 65. Had my hip broken, and both knees replaced. This dedicated wife was at my side all the time. I could never thank her enough. She is my wife and Nurse, and i love her dearly. I do not believe that if she was in a CULT, she would have been by my side constantly, sometimes when i did not know it. I really take offence to someone telling me she is in a cult, when it is far from the truth. We are bonded together, for ever !
Have you seen how the Jehovahs Witnesses brought many people to come and know Jesus Christ? While they have a different interpretation of some of the Bible passages, and well known leaders who love to prophesy, you cannot 100% say they are demon possessed – remember Jesus Christ warned us not to criticize our brother’s dirt in their eyes or calling them stupid just because, maybe, he has a different opinion.
Don’t be to genius else you’ll fall one of the victims of the demons you are trying to describe. Jesus said we have to accept the children not chase them away. And be careful if you’re a leader for you might be one of those defending yourself in front of the King Messiah that you have work all your life spreading his Name and chasing demons out of people but be shocked when you will be told your sin is for not doing what the Father wanted us to do.
Is there any perfect Christian way to follow Jesus? Haven’t you noticed that He never taught about doctrines requiring 110+% IQ? His teachings are very simple that even those who did not go to school can understand. It’s all about believing in Him as the Son of God and Love….
Ask the children or unschooled fellow if they can understand Trinity and then ask them if they can understand Love.
When it comes to doctrines, you should not be so sure you know it all because even the so called scholars are debating about trinity and many other christian issues….
Please, stop pushing children to become confused and instead of believing Christ they will hate him because they will see there is “HATE” among Christians themselves!
Anyway, I love your articles for they teach a lot…. just wanted what the Holy spirit of the Lord answers to my many questions as a child….
Thank you for taking the time to research and write this article. Jesus says we do not know how to pray. Father I ask right now the Holy Spirit fire fall on every demons listed attacking our lives, family and the saints. Uproots all demons that is taking residence in our lives; set fire and destroy them in Jesus name. Send you living Water for a cleansing and restore us with the blood of Jesus. Let our heart is a fertile soil that we produce only the fruits of the Spirit. Then others, can see your light manifest in our lives and more will come to your kingdom. This I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
I think you should ratify the origins of evil spirits. This article is spot on and helpful, but then you say the evil spirits are born and created good in heaven, which is inaccurate. The evil spirits come from the nephilim (reason for the flood) created in Genesis 6 by the rebellious sons of God.
