    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

    Hello,

    1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devil

    Revelation 12: 7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

    8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

    9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.


    Psalm 106: 36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

    37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils


    Mark 3: 22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

    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.

    Hope12 PS: All scriptures are taken from KJV of the Bible

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

    Hi classy

    demons do exist and I assume that you are subject to an oppression. It is possible that a demon exists because of something that has happened in the house, but it is just as likely you have inadvertently opened yourself to the oppression.

    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?

    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.

    Is it only Christians that have demons then?
  • Jun 3, 2010, 06:58 AM

    Not at all... I think more people who are NOT Christian have more problems with demonic activity.

    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.

    Hello v:

    There are no demons. There's no heaven or hell. There's no ghosts, goblins, tooth fairy's, santa clauses, luck, god, devils, werewolves, or vampires. But, Christians think there are. Oh, well.

    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.

    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.
