Category: Demons in Christians? Page 1 of 5
38:45 “One thing I know for a dead certain fact, having seen it is that there is good and evil. We’re being acted upon at all times. And I think every person can feel that in themselves. I mean there are moments when you are moved to do things that are much better than you actually are, and there are also more evil and destructive than you actually are. You are subject to forces from outside yourself. That is absolutely true. …
So there are forces that are not human that do exist in a spiritual realm of some kind that we cannot see. … That is real!”
Most pastors teach an unbalanced version of God. They only teach the kindness aspect, never the SEVERITY of God, which Paul clearly taught:
Romans 11:20 ..Don’t be conceited, but FEAR; 21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches [the truly ethnic Jews], neither will he spare you. 22 See then the GOODNESS *and* SEVERITY of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, IF YOU CONTINUE in his GOODNESS; OTHERWISE YOU WILL ALSO BE *CUT OFF* [like in Mt. 7:19 and John 15:6].

If we ask God a question and get conflicting answers…
If we have thoughts that WE DIDN’T ORIGINATE that lead us astray, these are FAMILIAR SPIRITS, demons speaking to us in the first person, mimicking our own thoughts, deceiving. Most people may have this problem.
More than 40 years ago, I realized this was happening to me, when I was trying to learn how to hear God’s voice. During worship, my mind would be clear, could hear God’s voice easily, but otherwise….
I blasted those other voices with my prayer language (“submit to God, resist the Devil and he will flee), and have never had the problem since.
We need to make sure we’re free of demonic spirits that speak in the first person as if they’re our own thoughts.
Many people think these voices, “familiar spirits” are our friends, but they’re gruesome and diabolical, and will send us to hell if we obey them.
We should only hear One Voice. This is crucially important in these last days.
POP from CA had an abusive father. According to Pop, his mother protected him from his father and he is having a hard time with the concept of forgiving his father.
spirits of:
witchcraft
envy
confusion
condemnation
control
deception (lying)
pride
fear
They’re filled with shame and fear, but project fearlessness as they seek to control others. Their arrogant, stubborn, self-righteous, grandiose manner in which they carry themselves.
It’s the difference between the old and new covenants. The 6th commandment, ‘Thou shall not commit adultery’ meant sex outside of marriage. In the New Testament Jesus says that lusting in one’s heart after women is adultery – Mt. 5:27-29. Prager is Jewish.
The Holy Spirit helps us overcome when we completely submit to God (cold turkey to lusting 100%), resist the Devil and the lust demon flees, even homosexual lust! >>> FREEDOM!!!
“No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” (1 Cor. 10:13)
Wicked spirits and anger…. Those voices aren’t from God.
Forgive. Overcome evil with good.

The Woke Cultural Path Leads to an Evil End
[…]
I will tell you frankly why I think establishment America is making a major turn towards acceptance and promotion of evil:
In the first place, I think immorality is rampant in this nation. It starts when youth are young, both in high school and in college, where promiscuous behavior is common and even expected. This loose morality follows people in or out of marriage with affairs, pornography addiction and later on to dissatisfaction with their marriage partners (or otherwise), ending in further unfaithfulness and divorce.
It’s not that immorality is the only essence of corruption in society, but it is a key factor because of how it affects the workings of conscience which are intertwined with our judgment and ethics in everything from business to religion and politics.
As I’ve explained in detail in my essay on “The Still Small Voice of Conscience” this spiritual receptor in the mind not only receives promptings, warnings and reminders from God’s side but also Satanic forces [unless we learn how to be free of the demonic voices/thoughts – ed.] which seem to have equal access—depending on which voices we choose to listen to, and all those rationalizations and excuses to violate the moral standards of God come from the dark side. Sometimes it’s hard to tell whether it’s the light side or dark side speaking to our mind because it all comes in our own style and manner of thinking. Only the content is distinguishable.
But once a person makes a habit of listening to the tempting, soft, easy, self-justifying voices of Satan’s messengers a person starts listing toward the looser side of life. They begin to favor abortion, knowing that their immorality might require it someday. They no longer see anything wrong with sexually explicit films and videos, and feel hypocritical holding their teenage children to a standard they themselves don’t live.

Who were the Nephilim? Are the “sons of god” mentioned in Genesis 6 merely the decedents of Seth? This topic is not one that we should divide over in the body of Christ, but it is something that we should discuss and ask ourselves, “what does the Bible say concerning this?”

THE PROBLEM
“We see in places like 2 Timothy 3 how in the last days, perilous times will come. Clearly, we’re living in such times today. People are driven, unfortunately by a spirit of fear. When I wrote my last book, Unmasking the Future, which came before masking up. We are on the road to de-mask-us.”

THE SOLUTION
1 John 4
7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God…. 12 ..If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.
16 ..God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. 17 In this, love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.
• • •
NOTE: Most pastors have been teaching this backwards, saying “believing in God’s perfect love casts out fear,” while this entire text is about us loving others.
Beth mentions how loud the ‘worship’ music is, a fleshly substitute for the Holy Spirit — for when people don’t worship in Spirit and in truth.

My take:
The majority of people, including truly born-again Christians probably have evil spirits speaking to them, often in the first person, so people think it’s their own thoughts. But they’re not originating these thoughts. They’re thoughts we hear. They’re demons speaking.
If we ask God a question and get more than one answer, only one voice can be the Holy Spirit. The demons need to be excised.
I discovered this in the early ’80s, having been being born-again in ’74, and haven’t had the problem since.
Not being truly born-again can also be a reason, but may not be the main reason. Many have been truly born-again and experience confusion when trying to hear God’s voice, like I did in the early ’80s, when God showed me what actually was going on.

We MUST overcome — my article that no one can refute:
HOW to overcome:
– –
Demons will use the temptation of pornography to destroy the image of God in you, to feed your eyes with the flesh and therefore kill the Spiritual in you. The more we feed the flesh, the more the flesh needs. …
I had my share of this sin in the past and the devil always comes with the same steps, first with a suggestion in the mind, it could be an image on the side of an internet page, then as soon as we entertain the suggestion, it becomes desirable to the heart and then it is only a matter of time until our will follows.
So always the same:
1- suggestion in the mind
2- desire in the heart
3- decision of the will
We need to identify how we are approached. We battle against principalities. The best weapon we can form against this process is to identify it and call it out. Do not ALLOW the devil any foothold [a place, the Greek actually says]. As soon as the suggestion comes, THERE is the place that we have to interject with our own will and say NO. RESIST the devil and he will flee from you. You can also change your mind, scroll to a different page, go out, go spend time with family, anything but don’t sit there, don’t entertain the suggestion. It will destroy you.
You know where this takes you, you do it, you satisfy the flesh and then what? You feel guilty, the demons leave you in a state of humiliation before the Lord. You feel inadequate to go to Him again….

LUST FREEDOM: worship the Creator, NOT people. Logos rising!
Anti-Logos TalmudVision promotes the exact opposite — a lust addicted planet:
“..although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him. Instead… they followed the lusts of their hearts and dishonored their bodies with one another. They exchanged God’s truth for a lie and worshipped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” (Rom. 1:21, 24-25)
My comment, explaining what really happens:
It’s important for people to know that *real, evil spirits* directly cause the addiction. When people understand this the process makes sense.
If a born-again Christian willfully lusts, real lust demons have a right to drive that lust in our bodies until we *fully* repent. *Complete* repentance is necessary to be free.
We can always fall away again:
Once we’re free, if we willfully lust again [giving into it instead of rejecting the temptation], demons will again come in and drive that lust. Lust never satisfies, and really is bondage, demonic control — not “freedom.”
We can’t play around with this thing. It removes the peace and joy from our lives, and keeps us from inheriting eternal life, because we walked according to the flesh, and not according to the Spirit. We allowed ourselves to become prodigal, and then have no right to inherit the kingdom of God until we repent. See especially: Gal. 5:19-6:8, Rom. 8:1-17 and Mt. 5:27-30 to be free!

DISCLAIMER: I Don’t agree with everything Michael says in this video, but this segment on demons is worth watching.

The idea that a Christian can NOT have a demon can have devastating effects. Many ‘Christians curse people from their hearts every single day! Our church used to teach that demons could not affect Christians in any way internally, and some of the leaders let demons rule their thoughts and actions, which was disastrous! I wrote this to biblically refute this teaching: Can a Christian Have a Demon? Absolutely! Most Have Many!
If a person believes they’re immune from demons, then if they have a vengeful thought, for example, that they know came from inside of them, in their way of thinking the thought has to be either from God or themselves. It cannot be from demons. So if they have hate and anger, they’re more apt to run with it, justifying it as necessary and let it rip, instead of dealing with it as to what it really is. They think “submit to God, resist the Devil and he’ll flee” doesn’t apply to them.

Lust demons are real. I had a vision that shows how these lust demons work:
Willfully lusting without repenting will keep us from going to heaven:

I met Henry three times when he was in Anchorage in the ’90s. My jaw dropped when he showed a few of us the amazing Ron Wyatt Discoveries video at ACC. Later, I saw him when he spoke in a nearby hotel, having had a bad experience in the local churches. We also did a group prayer walk.
Besides being known for prayer walking cities, he had an important series of dreams/visions of Russia and China invading the USA.

[2-hour audio] Henry Gruver with Steve Quayle: Visions of War – Visions of Heaven
Caspar McCloud posted this on Facebook, 7/11/18.
An update on Henry Gruver’s condition.
As many of you may have read on The Joseph Plan website Henry Gruver has been a friend and teacher of mine for many years. I have shared and learned a lot from Henry. Over the last month Henry has been deathly ill. He got sick while ministering in Toronto, Canada. The doctor said when Henry was admitted to the Toronto hospital that was within 1/2 hour of death.
Robert Lyte states on Facebook:
Many struggle to overcome lustful desire/porn/masturbation/adultery/fornication/homosexuality/lustful fantasies…..This is all because when you allow a LITTLE of it into you and do a LITTLE, look a LITTLE, fantasies a LITTLE, then you FEED your problem a little at a time and HELP IT GET STRONGER. So of corse you go downhill all the time with it. You never surface and find a foothold to get out of it…..Are you on a DOWNHILL slide with nothing to hold onto to pull yourself up and up and out?
This is because you are FEEDING your sin and it is getting BIGGER, and STRONGER in your life….In time, this sin will reap death for you….
But when you reach out and repent and FORCEFULLY TURN from it and walk with Christ in his light, then in freedom you will begin the walk of enduring these temptations and the power of Christ will be with you, and since you are no longer feeding the sin, it’s power greatly diminishes in your life (strength of temptation and desire and hold in your life) until there is nothing left of it leaving you free to easily put it down and keep under control in self-control….
But KEEP SHARP for people will fall when they least expect it if they do not stay alert and watchful and victory will quickly be wiped out. So stay alert and watchful so nothing will take your crown. Endure and remain faithful, for in freedom you will find the way light and easy to bear…..
If we allow a LITTLE, we allow the lust demons to come in and drive lust, so it becomes an addiction seemingly impossible to break. If we FORCEFULLY TURN from it, not giving the demons a place, we can be free.
This previous video by Jesse is also amazing, where he goes into this more. I transcribed many of his excellent, words, summarized here:
– –
Jesse writes in his notes under this video (spell-checked by me):
You can change. There’s another reality within all of us: the kingdom of heaven within. The scripture says: Seek first the kingdom of God, and his right way, and all things will be added. You will have perfect peace, with no anger, and be free. You’ll deal with the world and overcome issues. There is a spiritual battle for control of your life — one of good (God within), and one from evil, from your father the Devil.
Most are in a fallen state, born into a messed up family, where fathers and mothers are not a living examples of what you need to watch and see — how to deal with life.
The voice of Satan in your head doesn’t want you to be still and discover the true God within. He’s constantly trying to deceive you, feed you doubt. Instead, practice doubting every thought, and believe in the Voiceless Voice, the revelation of God — bring every thought into captivity, because every thought is a lie, and you’re overreacting in darkness. After a while, you become mentally ill, psychotic, thinking of suicide, sick, out of it, angry, frustrated, fearful.
Before you enter, you must forgive.
• • •
Excellent, but: the Holy Spirit isn’t always a “voiceless voice” though. He speaks in the “still, small voice” that the demonic voices can drown out.

This video is not from a Christian perspective, but I find it interesting, and decided to write this:
Actually, demons cause a lot of depression. How come no one talks about demons anymore? In the New Testament, when people were sick they cast out demons. But we don’t have demons??
Many people are depressed because they rightfully feel condemnation because they’re not in Christ Jesus. They’ve hurt people and refuse to admit it and make amends. Pills don’t solve spiritual and rebellion problems.
Vitamins and minerals can help, absolutely, when there are deficiencies, but shutting off the conscience chemically with drugs cannot make us right with God and men — and don’t get rid of the demons.
Reconciliation is the unpreached message because most preachers refuse to reconcile to be free. Many preachers, possibly the majority, James-3 curse people who call them to repent, even wishing that people would die. “How can this be,” James says in chapter 3.
Paul worked out his salvation through *fear* and *TREMBLING* (way more than just “reverence”). Paul ran his race to win, so was able to say: “Herein I also practice ALWAYS having a conscience void of offense toward God and men” (Acts 24:16).
Paul could relax while on earth, and died with a clean conscience, so is now in heaven.
Are we in Christ Jesus, having no condemnation because we walk according to the HOLY Spirit and not according to the flesh?
Pharmaceuticals don’t solve spiritual problems. Repentance, forgiving, reconciliation and praying in the Holy Ghost does — being right with God and people — demon free!!!
“Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.” – James 5:14-16
There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to those who are IN CHRIST Jesus, who don’t WALK according to the flesh, but ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT.” – Romans 8:1
28 One of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The greatest is, ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one: 30 you shall LOVE THE LORD your God with ALL YOUR HEART, and with ALL YOUR SOUL, and with ALL YOUR MIND, and with ALL YOUR STRENGTH.’ This is the *first commandment*. 31 The *second* is like this, ‘You shall LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” – JESUS in Mark 12

Galatians 5:22-24
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. THOSE WHO BELONG TO CHRIST have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
