DEMONS # 2
63DEMON`S # 2
Back in the late 80`s I used to manage a Hotel on the west coast of Ireland. One of my employees was a young beautiful girl (let's call her Meg) who was about 16. She had a bubbly personality and was a pleasure to be around. In the ways of the world she would have been described as an innocent sweet soul. I knew her parents and liked them.
Well one day a guy (call him Tom) came to town to work as a painter. Tom frequented the hotel bar and befriended Meg. I knew Tom and he had a very sarcastic and mean disposition about him. I had shared a drink with him one night and he had tried to bend my middle finger backwards and nearly broke it, the more he drank the meaner he became.
Well after a while Meg and Tom began to hang around together. Meg still came into work and was her normal bubbly self. Then one morning she came in with Tom and I knew they had slept together. Her bubbly personality was gone and she had become sarcastic, it was like she had taken on Tom's personality.
At the time I just figured she was just feeling guilty and defensive. But over the next few weeks she became cold and more sarcastic it was like meeting the bad twin sister. It was as if she had done a 180. In short it was like talking to Tom, did I know for sure that she had a demon, No I did not, shortly after that Tom left to work in another village and Meg went back to School and I never saw either of them again.
What amazed me about the whole experience was how fast her personality changed. At the time I was a new Christian and did not understand the demonic realm. Then I too left and went to London England (see hub...leaving Ireland) as I believed that was where God was leading me to go. While there I spent about 2 years with a group called YWAM (youth with a mission). During that time I Hung out with one of their street teams and gained a lot of hands on experience in the area of the supernatural.
I learned that we live in a world of good and evil. Good being God and his Angels and they live in heaven. And evil Being Satan who has his kingdom here on earth with fallen Angels called Demons who do his bidding. So from that I realized that if I belonged to God and his kingdom I was light. Satan's kingdom represented darkness then I was light in darkness. In other words I was in a battle Zone so to speak and was a threat to Satan. Before I became a Christian I was of no interest to Satan and so he left me alone. But as soon as I became a Christian I was an enemy.
Ok, this is what I truly believe and not because YWAM or some church taught me. They just taught me to pray and ask God to confirm everything and to keep going back to him as the source of all truth. (Actually I had always been doing that, they just confirmed it). Sort of like if someone tells you some news about someone else, doesn't it make sense to go to that person and ask them if it's true or not. In the same way as you read this ask God if it is true...hey I could just be a nut spinning a Good yarn!
The main purpose of a Demon is to control and dominate the persons mind. If you can control a mind you have the person. I had a close relative who once experimented with séances and Ouija board, before pursuing and participating in the fore mentioned they were pretty normal so to speak. Afterwards and even during I began to notice subtle changes and over a period of time Depression and suicidal tenancies...In general their life began a steady decline and if I even mentioned the name Jesus they became very aggressive towards me. We could talk to each other as long as I did not mention the name Jesus.
I once worked in a special Ed classroom and we had a student who was MPD. One day while talking with the head teacher of the class who was a christen .I asked her permission to if I could demonstrate something to her with regards to the MPD student who was alone with us. She agreed. The student was about 25 ft away with her back to us.
I instructed the teacher to turn her back to the student and whisper the words "Look at me" and then turn silently and watch the student. She did this and right away the student turned her head and stared eyes straight at the teacher like she was trying to pierce the teacher. There was no way she could have heard us.
Am I saying all people with MPD have Demons? No they do not; there are nuts out there that think every sickness is a demon issue. How did this student become demon possed I don't know? All I know is what the Holy Spirit shows me and I pray the way he leads me.
I did not pray for that student that day as I did not feel led; there is a time and a place.
Another time some people were praying for a sick depressed woman at a church and the Holy Spirit showed me that a voodoo curse had been placed on this women. I asked the women if anyone in her family had practiced Voodoo and she replied that her grand mother did and had never liked the man she had married or her. We prayed as led by the spirit and for the first time in years the women experienced true release and over time and prayer true freedom.
Every time I have prayed with anyone on this issue, as soon as I mention the name of Jesus things begin to happen. If I mention any other name of any other religion nothing.
There is so much power in that name and if you do not know him ask him to reveal himself in a personal way to you to prove that he exists. I heard bible thumpers for years quoting scriptures and condemning people and it turned me of religious people and then one day on my own Jesus revealed himself to me personally and as a result I have and still have a personal daily testimony, in other words a real relationship with a loving God, not a cold religious one. But that's another story!

Hi Mr T and M for Misty :0)
Thanks for your great encouraging words....I have had so many experiances over the years and actually it is just as normal to me as breathing and honestly the closer any of us get to God and allow him to have his way ( and its not easy LOL) it just becomes normal in a crazy fool for God sort of way :0)

You are truly an amazing person! I have enjoyed every hub of yours that I've read so far, and I look forward to reading more, especially your spiritual ones. I hate asking you this over public media, but could you do me a favor? I have been a heavy cigarette smoker for years. No matter how much I want to, I can't seem to stop. Yes, I pray about it. Anyway, say a prayer for me.
Thanks

HI Jen :0)
Sure i will pray! I used to smoke also for a long time...I remeber when I quit ..It was hard..I noticed a friend of mine had quit and i asked him how he did it. He told me that he agreed with God that he would go 50% if God would go the other 50 and within 3 days he lost the craving. So I tried and told God I wanted to do the same and the next day the craving was gone. For me it was getting real before God and telling him how hard it was and asking for the faith to quit and letting him do the rest.
Jen I will trully pray that God Sets you free from the craving !!!
Great to see you and thanks for the wonderful comments!! Mike :0)

Some mental illmesses look like demom possession. Find out about mental illnesses here:
http://www.nami.org/Template.cfm?Section=By_Illnes
You would be surprised when you read all the things a mental illness mimmics and he symptoms-and they are real brain misfuntions not demons.
yes!!! could not agree with you more....thats is why we have to ask the holy spirit to given us true discerment....thanks for your comment....Mike :0)
So while this person whom you think has or is possessed by a demon is suffering something that they can be treated for you sit and wait to see if it is a real demon or a mental illness. I feel sorry for the person who actually needs the help...That is why they have Mental Health Counselors (such as my husband) and Mental Health Clinics---they do the discerning.
Do you also know about Multiple Personalities and Bi-Polor and Manic Depression and a host of others that "look" like possession? Did you even go to the link and read?
So have you ever seen one who was possessed? I asked my husband this and he said that he never did.
Does MPD stand for Multiple personality disorder? I do agree science and religion can come together to benefit humanity.
Hi Country women !
Yes thats what it means and yes your right..there is great benefit !!!

It has been my experience that demons are the spiritual equivilant of germs. If someone has a valid chemical problem, it's like an invitation to them to infect the person and make it worse. It's interesting that the New Testiment calls them "unclean" spirits.
Often times, it's not either/or .. a person with a valid mental illness also may have a valid demonic problem. Sometimes it's just one or ther other. That's why prayer and relationship wiith Jesus is so important!
HI bd nicely put the only cure the most powerful name on earth..

BDazzler, that makes absolute sense. I was browsing comments on hubs I'd favoured in the past and ran onto that. It would explain the only documented time I've had a problem with a demon (or demons) was in a physically weakened state soupled with a highly compromised mental state.
Religion and spirituality have very little in common. God bless,
