Demons are in your mind not your house.
They do exist. I've encountered a couple, and don't care to encounter another one. One was actually in a house we lived in and harassed my daughter until we got a group of Christian friends together to drive it out. What specifically makes you think there's one in your house?
I am assuming since you posted this in Christianity, that you want a christian answer. While this will vary by religious denomination, many from the Penticostal to Catholics all believe they exist and even have rules or procedures to rid a house or a person of them.
Now with that said, it happens even in those groups that accept them, very rarely.
So why do you believe they are there? What is happening.
Have you discussed this with your pastor of your local church

There are more scriptures that prove demons excist. Please seek help by first praying and asking God to help you. If you are sincere, God will help you get rid of them. You can also pray outloud using God's name Jehovah. Psalm 83: 18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
Proverbs 18: 10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
James 2: 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my f2aith by my works.
19 Thou2 believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Draw close to the true God, He will protect you.

Not so. They are very real according to the Bible.Quote:

So the standard things are.
repent of all sin in your life and of all sinfull acts which might have occurred in the house
Ask for inspiriation
renounce all the acts of satan, even if you have already done this, and reaffirm your commitment to Jesus. Remember he who is in you is greater and you have the authority of Jesus
anoint the doorways with oil which you have consecrated, if the demon appears to be in one room only anoint the corners of the room and pray in each binding the demon and ordering it to leave. Read appropriate scriptures aloud. Do this in the company of other Christians and if possible invite your pastor
play praise music in the house
Paracelete,
I'm not struggling with demons myself. BUT I agree with EVERYTHING you just said. I once got a book I believe it was Breaking the Bondage Barrior. I don't remember... but he lists all different ways we allow Satan access to our lives. Things we would NEVER think of... at least I didn't and the author said to repent and renounce it.
How do demons select who sees them?
dirttyvampire,
Even your user name is cause for pause. THINK about it.
I don't know. But they are real and people who dabble in the occult should be leary of giving them a foothold into their lives. Course if you go to Gettysburg there are all kinds of stories concerning spirits being actually seen. I do NOT believe they are human IF they do exsist. The Bible is pretty clear that after death the human soul and spirt are ushered eilsewhere.Quote:

It probably sounds silly to someone who doesn't even believe in demons.. but tarrot cards, ouji boards... all of the opens a door.
In the OT Israel was forbidden to mess with witches and the occult and the NT says they are alive and well and not to give them access to your life.
Well fear and anxiety actually feed whatever energy you are giving these creatures whether they are real or not.
Fear can create your own hellish experience no matter what religion or non religion or culture or back ground. Fear is something that wants it has that control over you it will only get worse.
Learn how to let go of that fear, face up to that fear and know that it can not harm you unless you let it. That will be your saving grace.
That is what I was referring to in the first reply in this thread, that demons are a product of the person not the house.Quote:

NK and JH,
We are not giving a SPIRIT of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
So we can conclude that a spirit of fear is NOT of God. It does have torment.. the bible says it does and we know from personal experience it does.
But to suggest it is ALL in the mind isn't so. There are demonic spirits out there, they do roam around they can enter a person. The bible is clear on the subject.
But I agree that one should make sure it isn't just fear.
There is NO santa?. geesh you have ruined my day!! :DQuote:

Whether it is real or not Classy, how you react and whether you feed into the fear or not will determine if it will be a major problem in the persons life.
And yes people create negative effects and negative situations by their fear. That is just the way it is.
Wish I could rate you. I agree completely...Quote:

What kind of authority would it take to persuade you? I suspect no amount of evidence would be enough, or you would find some way to explain it away. My direct experience, as well as that of my daughter, was enough to convince me of what was going on. If that's not enough for you, then I'm not going to bother.Quote:

I'm not the type of person who runs around trying to find a demonic spirit behind problems in my life. I think that is just as wrong as not recognizing they are alive and well.
But I think many unbelievers have been bothered by them just because you don't know any.. doesn't make it not so.
That works both ways too, just because you say it or a 2000+ year old book mentions it does not make it so either. If you do a search at this site you'll notice that believers are the sole ones affected by "demons". Isn't it odd that non-believers are not represented?Quote:

I cannot imagine a world, where you could be driving down the street, and a demon causes your car to hit a tree. If I hit a tree, I'd know it was because I wasn't driving so good. You? Not so much.
I cannot imagine a world where a ghost is living in my house and doing dastardly things to my family. I cannot imagine a world where I had NO control over my life, but was at the effect of any old ghoul or evil monster...
Nope. I cannot imagine living in a world like that, and I'm SOOOOO glad I don't. Wouldn't you like to come over to MY world?? It's SAFE from those things over here.
excon
Ex,
You THINK it is safe in your world... and I KNOW better. :D
I have never seen a demon in my life nor do I intend to. But just because I can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there. Heck I can't see molucules either!. There is a spiritual world out there. I can't prove it... but I believe it by faith.
The difference between you and me is this.. I don't have enough FAITH to believe this world just happened. I don't have enough FAITH to believe we evolved from tadpoles or something... I believe in the Creator and I believe the Bible. And because I do.. I believe there are angels and there are demons. I have never encountered either and I never ever blamed any sin I have committed on the Devil nor my reckless driving on a demon.
If someone says they feel safe and are happy you tell them that they aren't and that you know better? Really? Explain please because the arrogance in that is astounding.Quote:

NK,
I was REALLY and TRULY teasing Ex. I meant no harm... I don't think he took it the wrong way. Ex you CAN chime in here whenever you want. Did you take it the wrong way?
BUT... just because someone believes they are safe doesn't make it so. Just because someone doesn't see danger coming.. doesnt mean it isn't. I'm not suggesting demons are around the corner for Ex. I have been trying to get him over to my side since we became friends on this site. I want him to believe in Jesus Christ, I want him to go to heaven. Is that arrogant?
What would you say to someone that wants to convert you to atheism to save you from purposeless worshipping?Quote:

Hello, I sympathize with you because I had demons follow me for over 12 years. I searched for answers outside of God's word, and I even turned to mediums and phsycics for answers other than taking this to God in prayer.
The one thing I'd like to stress and this is the example in scripture that we are to have nothing to do with familiar spirits and that includes demons.
Many authors and public figures show by example that we can 'entertain' evil, and 'control' it but the fact is we are not strong enough. The only way we can find victory, deliverance is through the victory of the Cross. ( The means of the cross)
Personally, if you want freedom, then ask God for it, ask Him to show you the areas of where there is sin in your life that causes evil to manefest itself. Whatever it is, repent, and turn away from it. Keep your house clean as scripture describes, but do not keep it empty. Fill it with the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ. Once you posture yourself upright against God's word and His son, your life will change and you will see for yourself 'resiste the devil and he will flee.'
