Demonic Possession

[serenitylala]

Okay, so I see that you are a little bitter. Adversarial attacks are never fun and never welcome and are exhausting as all get out. But let's take this one crittery step at a time.

People that suffer from schizophrenia are evil spirit and unclean spirit magnets by no fault of their own. Apparently the other side sees a crack in the veil and has a field day with it. The same goes for those with spiritual gifts where the veil is lightly opened.

So how does one cope with this type of trial? I know I know you're probably thinking: "trial? Trial?! This is hell

[serenitylala]

Sorry my iPhone sent that last post out by mistake.

But it is a trial. It is a burden. People that suffer from this kind of trial usually were those that did something amazing in the premortal life, such as personally kick Satan and his minions out of heaven. "Boof! See ya" sort of action.

I had a roommate that had schizophrenia and there were some seriously demonic occurrences in our apartment. But I'm one of those people that tends to be awful laid back abt these sort of things.

For instance, I was woken up in the middle of the night by the Spirit of the Lord... Which told me that she was in need of my help.

I went to her room and there she was wide awake, wide eyed and rocking on her bed in fetal position. The whole room was full of bad stuff.

So I asked her anyway what was the matter, not that I couldn't tell, but I needed to ask.

She told me that there was a multitude of people there one of which was a man that was trying to get her to kill me.

Eh, it's not like I haven't had evil spirits try to kill me before so I shrugged and said, " tell him I love him too."

Then I raised my arm to the square and cast the lot of them out. Her countenance changed and she became more peaceful and laid down. Then I went to bed. I was tired.

So the Lord your Hod and Savior whom has given His life for you will cast them out if you have faith and authority in Him. He can heal you of your ailments... But since your situation has been so spiritually and mentally exhausting, first you need some manmade help.

The medications for schizophrenia and it's associated conditions... Are designed to sedate the area of the brain where the evil manifestations can take hold. They basically in a nutshell prevent you from sensing spirits.

First take the medications then seek for true healing and guidance from the Lord. It is hard to hear tge whisperings of the Spirit of the Lord when you are caught in the middle of shouting party. The medications eliminate the evil spirit shootings so that you can focus on the Lord and your own healing process.

[Lexew1899]

You could ask the missionaries to perform an exorcism if needed. I knew a great set of elders in my area who said they performed several exorcisms. Also seek medical help. I think both are needed.

I definitely won't be clicking on that link. Growing up watching things like and watching something about people's homes being haunted and possessed with evil spirits I do believe invites them in your home. I noticed some scary things after watching something like that once. Sometimes curiosity or good intentions can pave the way for evil to enter a home. Having had some really frightening experiences myself in the past I try to steer clear of anything like that. Possessions do happen. They are a reality. Not something I like to think about though.

Jes...I don't see where anyone inquired if you are LDS or not?

[sbsion]

evil spirits exist, and their power over their host is as much as one allows, "cast them out in the name of Christ", just like the endowment instructs

[WolfWorm]

Hello. I joined this site to write this. I am a baptized member, born and raised in the church, currently active in (partial) sabbath attendance, and I am currently demonically possessed.

This is the story how I found out:
I was talking to my bishop about the withdrawal symptoms I get when I stop doing pornography and masturbation, he was initially confused that I was experiencing what I was going through, then went quiet and thoughtful (receiving a prompting). He finally looked up and said "that shouldn't be happening, I think you might be possessed".
I'd be seeing the church counselor off and on for years over ranged of issues left over from a psychologically/emotionally abusive childhood, most recently about my 'inner selves' which I named the Beast (anger, hate, self-harm, cruelty) and the Twist (twisted perversions, torture, intellectual cruelty), which I visualized as a two-headed werewolf. I thought these were aspects of myself that i'd developed in childhood to survive and that were now running rampant in my body and mind, turns out that was deception.
When Bishop said that I asked internally if that's what it was, and it surged inside so hard I had to struggle to keep a straight face and not growl at my bishop. I agreed to an administration to see if it helped, he placed his hands on my head and started talking.
THE PAIN WAS INCREDIBLE. My bishop could tell something was up because I groaned once and gasped in pain another time while he was doing it, but inside I was just repeating to myself 'Don'tscreamDon'tscreamDon'tscreamDon'tscream...' it was a huge struggle not break out of the chair and smash my face to a paste on the desk or wall. When he finished I managed to gasp out 'amen' before I collapsed hyperventilating against the desk. he sat down and waited the few minutes it took before I could speak to ask about what happened. He wasn't expecting that reaction and neither was I. I was worried because there was no 'lightbulb off' moment when it was gone, the pain just gradually receded over time and I felt better than i'd ever felt in my life.

Fast-track 3 weeks and I transgressed again because my body was pent up and I made the mistake of thinking I could go a little ways down the road without going all the way. As I learned it's like an alcoholic thinking he can have a sip without finishing the bottle. That bottle is as good as empty as soon as the cap is off. Sexual transgression is the door by which I let it back in. I've been administered to twice now and have an appointment for a third next week.

So now that's out of the way, let's clear up some facts that you've gotten muddled from your perspective on the other side of the tracks. FYI, apart from the regular kind of being messed up from my childhood, I have no disorders, conditions or anything else wrong with me. Trust me I've been looking, turns out this was it.
Myths
- Speaking Latin or reverse-English. The worst I do is growl at stuff, or laugh loudly or scream for no reason when i'm alone.
- There is no "You & It", there's "You with It" and "You without It". Both are the same person, but have different priorities/feelings/reactions/mental state.
- Black eyes. Mine will go purplish and bloodshot from sleep deprivation, they might feel like they're black, hot or bleeding but that's all in your head.
- Incredible strength. As a traditional martial artist I know that humans already have this, we just have safeties in place that prevent us from accessing it except in incredible duress because of the damage it does to your body. Anyone having any sort of fit or episode can apply this, the strength does not come from the evil spirit.
- Speaking with another voice. This is the same as black eyes, evil spirits by my understanding can't morph your biology. Also going back to the 'you & it' thing, 'It' doesn't speak, you do. This may be different with demons of the body, but I don't know about them. I have a demon of the mind, and a rather weak one at that. If it was stronger i'd be hearing voices and it would be messing with my vision, other senses and majorly playing with emotions instead of just altering motivation, priority and tampering with memory and trains of thought. Addiction is weak, if someone has a serious disorder because of possession you're dealing with something powerful that would outrank your local bishop.

Physical Symptoms - Most of these will be side-effects of sleep deprivation or suppressing it (mentally and physically). As long as I do what it wants I skip the painful ones, but if I go to church i'll be twitching and growling for the next two days, it hurts just being there, especially if I meet with bishop. I think if I tried to run through the temple i'd be on the ground screaming within 10 steps after the front desk.

Intestinal discomfort
Bodily tension
Accelerated heart rate
Perceived increase in body temperature
Muscular spasms/twitches, especially in hands and head/face
Vocalizations (groans, grunts, growls, screams, inappropriately loud laughter [traditional madman laughing])
Non-physical pain
Aversion to sleep
Loss of appetite
Dulled physical sensation
Restlessness
Constant tiredness

Mental/Behavioral Symptoms
Sever numbing of emotions both bad and good (like a terminator or spock)
Loss of sympathy/empathy, cold and disdaining
Inability to form non-transactional relationships
Forgetfulness
Loss of spirit
Inability to hold other's gazes
Physical dissociation
Loss of fear
Change of moral reasoning
Alternate set of memories for why you made past decisions (e.g. 'because you're a bad person' as well as 'it was an accident')

The emotional coldness is a big deal. My housemate and best friend since 2nd grade was near-suicidal after breaking up from a long-time relationship, and the only reason I kept watch on him was becasue if he died I'd lose half the furniture and need someone else to take up half the rent. Then again, i could have been doing it for decent reasons, but that's the reason I remember, or the one I tell myself. That's what a demon of the mind does to you.

[HelenaMarie83]

I don't like this thread, having been a victim of spiritual attacks myself, any talk on the subject makes me uncomfortable, but with that being said, I feel prompted to say this, that:

1. being attacked does not necessarily mean you have done something wrong. The adversary throws temper tantrums. Sometimes you can be attacked because you are doing something or about do to something good that threatens darkness.

2. you should always remember that you have a body and he does not. That makes you stronger than him and if you every find yourself in a situation where you are by yourself, being attacked, you CAN send them away. The first time it happened to me I drove straight to my father's home where he blessed me and sent them away (there were three of them.) Afterward my father, and then my bishop both told me the same thing. You can do your part to fight back until you can get a blessing. Pray, sing hymns, raise your arm to the square and command them in the name of Jesus Christ to leave you. I testify that this does work in combination with priesthood blessings. Have faith that you are stronger than any dark power. As children of God with physical bodies made in his image, we posses his divine nature.

3. Have your home blessed before you move in and have your home re-blessed every once in a while, especially after any events that take place in or near your home that may be an invitation to darkness. When a drug dealer moved in two doors down from my apartment, the attacks started again. I had my home blessed; not just my home, but the public spaces immediately around my home.

4. TRUST in the Lord and his priesthood.

5. Prepare yourself and take preventative measures. This means daily meaningful prayers, scripture study and STAYING AWAY from any thing, person or media that invites or makes darkness trivial.

If you are ever a victim of these attacks, remember you are a child of a God who loves you.

[PSCahill]

Hi Jes,

I am guessing that you are Catholic? My husband used to be Catholic, too. Most of the people on this message board are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or LDS for short, though we are often called by the world "Mormons." If you are LDS, forgive my assumption, and my advice would be to find the most righteous elder you can find and have a priesthood blessing, and maybe arrange for a weekly (or more) blessing until things improve greatly.

If you are not LDS, I would recommend that you get in touch with some LDS missionaries who can come and give you a blessing. A priesthood blessing will tell the evil and unclean spirits that they MUST leave you, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they will. But you can invite them back, without realizing it, by your thoughts, feelings, and actions.

It sounds like you are searching for truth. We are not being punished for what Eve did. She made a choice to partake of the fruit in the garden that she was told not to, and that choice was what caused the fall of man. But it was a necessary choice, to grant us the gift of agency. Before that, neither she nor Adam could sin, they were perfectly innocent, not knowing good from evil. But we needed to know, in order to choose, and to learn to choose good. The missionaries can teach you much, and help you in many ways.

God doesn't want you to have to live like that. Cling to the good things in your life, and try to serve others when you can, and pray as well as you can. Listen to good music, especially classical or hymns, these tend to bring a state of calm and peace sometimes. I will pray for you, too. God loves you, and you are His child. He wants you to be happy and free from the torment of these bad spirits. You can be, but it sounds like you could really use some help, as we all could. I hope that you can find it, and may God bless and guide you.

[Sheol27]

I know several people that absolutely will not talk about demonic possession or anything like it. There are people that are scared to death and won't go there.... I believe it does need to be discuss more than just flat out ignored or denied.

[DeathHasLostItsSting]

I agree with locking of this thread. Sorry notjamesbond but I will strongely advise anyone to not even click on that link and definately DO NOT see that movie. I made the mistake of watching it when I was newly pregnant and regreted it for much time after. Things dont always possess people but instead enter your home and follow you. Movies and even you tube link will attract them and can have some very terrifying results. Please everyone do not watch these kinds of things. Very very evil.

I hate movies that dwell on things like that. My sister watched a horror movie in her apartment once and strange things started happening with my niece and other objects. Those movies just take you away from the Spirit. Exactly what Satan wants.

That's an interesting thought. I remember once years ago watching a movie -can't remember what it was - that left me feeling really uncomfortable. I remember not thinking the content of it was particularly bad, but I could not sleep until I finally got up and put the movie in the garage, and then I could feel a difference. It was such a strange experience.

I have had similar experiences. We know it's out there. No need to get into it. The Spirit will guide you and help you discern.

[embryopocket]

I absolutely hate how Hollywood/the media glorifies Satan and his angels. Yes, Satan is real. He is our brother along with all of those that follow him. However, they made their decision and we made ours. Their portrayal should not be used for entertainment purposes. When we come in contact with them, we should cast them out in the name of Jesus - not giving them a chance to speak or influence us. This is what Jesus did several times in the New Testament. He silenced them when they proclaimed to know him because they were not worthy to testify of His divine role, even by acknowledgement. We combat them with our faith - the opposite of faith is fear - thus when we watch movies or tv shows to get that fear feeling, we are lowering our spiritual defenses.

[plainness]

Demons flee from true believers. True believers know Jesus. Intimacy with Christ is power. Ecclesiastical, religious, traditional authority, priesthood pedigree mean nothing to the spirits that traffic with humanity. Remember, the sons of Sceva had no power but those strangers upon whom no one had lain hands were casting out devils with Christ's approval. What does that tell us? Seek intimacy with Christ. If you brandish priesthood wherever you sense darkness, you'll bring devils from miles away just to watch you and be entertained.

My cousin's youth pastor was fearless when a girl manifested the full monty at their youth service. Priesthood? The young guy knew Jesus. People were wigging out, the girl went from 0-60 like she was about to give birth to an alien. Youth pastor just whispered the love of Christ over her and she fainted, came to, and was completely free. Fearless. Because he knew Christ.

[Rose Garden]

Wow. Lots of old names here. Interesting thread.

Possession isn't limited to severe situations. Every fallen person on this earth deals with possession to one degree or another. Possession can cause problems as simple as a jabbing pain or a nagging thought that won't go away. It's not only demons that can break through your defenses. There are a number of beings that can do so.

There are some common lies evil tells you when you are possessed.

First of all, they will tell you that you aren't possessed, that they don't exist, and that your problems have some other source. They will leave you vainly looking for answers in all the wrong places.

They also will tell you that you aren't wrong. They will build up your pride so you will not look to the Lord, believe in him and repent.

Related to that, they will tell you that you are done progressing and have no more need to work toward salvation. This is an extremely prevalent lie and very difficult to overcome. Again, it prevents you from continuing to repent.

These lies are all self preserving lies. If you continue repenting and progressing in life, you will eventually kick them out of your being and so they lie in order to convince you to stop repenting. Any time you feel that you have no need to repent, you should be wary of evil possession.

In Zion there will be no ailments. This will be because the people have totally overcome evil. Every ailment you suffer, physical or spiritual, has an evil component to it that can and should be overcome. When a community is able to overcome these things, Zion will be formed.

Remember, Christ, on multiple occasions, cast out unclean spirits. He even spoke with them and they recognized Him as the Savior. That being said, there is an enmity between us and evil spirits, so we must choose to let them in through sin.
Not only are the hosts of satan after us, but also those who lives on the earth and are still addicted to certain sins as well. They dwell on the earth in search for their next "high" by entering the bodies of those in sin.

Why did the demons desire to enter the bodies of the swine? or, for that matter, how came they to take up tenancy in the body of the man? We cannot tell and do not know how it is that evil spirits-few or many-gain entrance into the bodies of mortal men. We do know that all things are governed by law, and that Satan is precluded from taking possession of the bodies of the prophets and other righteous people. Were it not so, the work of God would be thwarted-always and in all instances-for Lucifer leads the armies of hell against all men, and more especially against those who are instrumental in furthering the Lord's work.
There must be circumstances of depression and sin and physical weakness that within the restrictions of divine control, permit evil spirits to enter human bodies. We do know their curse is to be denied tabernacles, and we surmise that the desire for such tenancy is so great that they, when permitted, even enter the bodies of beasts. (The Mortal Messiah, 2:282)

Manifestly, as in all things, there are laws and conditions under which devils have power to force entry into human bodies. And of course in the power and majesty of their priesthood, both Jesus and the legal administrators sent from him have cast these usurping and unclean spirits out of their stolen habitations. On the numerous occasions that our Lord exercised his power over devils, he was fulfilling the Messianic promise: "And he shall cast out devils, or the evil spirits which dwell in the hearts of the children of men." (Mosiah 3:6.)

Mark 1:23. When a devil manages to enter the body of a mortal person, such person loses his free agency, and his acts then become and are those of the devil by whom he is possessed. Thus when the devil speaks it is by the mouth of the person whose tabernacle he has stolen.

These quotes also explain why little children can become possessed. Many LDS don't think this is possible because they confuse affliction with temptation. Little children cannot be tempted until the age of 8, but they can and are afflicted.

"On the day following I parted with Elders Taylor and Fielding, who went to Liverpool, and with Elder Richards, who tarried in Preston. Elder Turley and I went to Manchester; it was the first time I had visited that city. There I met for the first time Elder William Clayton. As soon as I was introduced to him, he informed me that one of the sisters in that place was possessed of a devil. He asked me if I would not go and cast it out of her. He thought one of the Twelve Apostles could do most anything in such a case. I went with him to the house where the woman lay, in the hands of three men, in a terrible rage. She was trying to tear her clothing from her. I also found quite a number of Saints present, and some unbelievers, who had come to see the devil cast out and a miracle wrought.
"Had I acted upon my own judgment I should have refrained from administering to her in the company of those present; but as I was a stranger there, and Brother Clayton presided over the branch, I joined with him in administering to the woman. The unbelief of the wicked who were present was so great that we could not cast the devil out of her, and she raged worse than ever; I then ordered the room to be cleared, and when the company, except the few attending her, had left the house, we laid hands upon her head, and in the name of Jesus Christ I commanded the devil to come out of her. The devil left, and she was entirely healed and fell asleep.
"The next day being the Sabbath, the woman came before a large congregation of people, and bore testimony to what the Lord had done for her. We had a large assembly through the day and evening, to whom I preached the gospel. On Monday morning, the devil, not being satisfied with being cast out of the woman, entered into her little child, which was but a few months old. I was called upon to visit the child, and found it in great distress, writhing in its mother's arms. We laid hands upon it and cast the devil out; the evil spirits thereafter had no power over that household. This was done by the power of God, and not of man. We laid hands upon twenty in Manchester who were sick, and most of them were healed.

There is a reason for her smelling. Elder Parley P. Pratt wrote about this.

Some of these foul spirits, when possessing a person, will cause a disagreeable smell about the person thus possessed, which will be plainly manifest to the senses of those about him, even though the person thus afflicted should be washed and change his clothes every few minutes.

Most churches have at some point have viewed mental illness as demonic possession, and some fundamentalists still believe so today.
When is mental illness a purely biological, biochemical effect, and when is there possible demonic involvement?

Doctors called religion an obsessional neurosis. After Phelan studies became well-known, religion was removed from hospitals. However of late, the numbers have increased as research has placed more value on faith and mental health. All faiths, now strongly support the care of the mentally ill.
Studies show that when mental and physical health problems occur, most people turn to religion.

Here are some so called signs of demonic possession.

Physical Changes Affecting The Person

1 The person involved may go for long periods of time without blinking their eyes. (Can indicate a neurological condition)

2 The person may appear catatonic. (Can also be a sign of mental illness)

3 The person speaks a language they could not possibly know. (Or speak English with unusual accents.)

4 The person speaks in tongues.

5 The person will become completely rigid where they cannot be moved at all, even by multiple people.

6 Look for changes in the eyes. They may turn almost black like shark eyes.

7 Look for obvious changes in their features.

8 The person may possess inhuman strength.

9 The person may exhibit “precognition,” the ability to predict the future.

10 The person displays “retro cognition,” the ability to know about past events they should not know about.

11 The person may be able to know something about a person they have not met.

12 Their voice may change. It may go from high to low to guttural.

13 They may be able to tell what you are thinking.

14 They may move in some unusual way. For example, they may seem to glide instead of walk.

15 Writing or symbols may appear on the body in the form of welts and scratches. Look especially in areas they could not reach.

16 They may levitate.

17 Hair or eye color may change.

18 There may be multiple voices coming from the person at the same time.

19 Take note if animals appear to be frightened of the person, especially if they begin acting fearful when there are personality changes in the person.


Outward Manifestations

1 Objects move around seemingly by themselves.

2 Objects may disappear and not be found again. (Asporting)

3 Objects may disappear and be found in another location. (Teleporting)

4 Objects may disappear and later be found where they originally were.

5 Objects may come from nowhere. (Apports)

6 Knocking, banging or pounding may be heard throughout the house or in just one room.

7 Objects fly around as if they were thrown from unseen hands.

8 There may be knocks at the door but no one is ever there. These are often heard in threes, as this is a way of mocking the Holy Trinity. Ditto for doorbells.

9 Religious articles disappear or are destroyed. They may also be desecrated.

10 Growling may be heard but the source cannot be located.

11 There may be scratching sounds heard without an obvious source.

12 There may be foul odors that have no verifiable source. They may come and go.

13 Odd lights may be seen. They may shoot around a room.

14 Heavy furniture may move on its own.

15 There may be sightings of people or dark shadows that may or may not have form.

16 Odd-looking creatures may be seen.

17 Doors and drawers may open and close on their own.

18 Electrical appliances may turn on or off.

19 Spontaneous fires may start up.

20 Animals may become spooked and stay away from the targeted person altogether.

21 Animals may growl at something they see but you do not.

22 Any talk of God or religion may cause an outbreak of activity.

23 Glass may break for no reason.

24 Sounds of glass breaking may be heard but there is no evidence of it happening.

25 There may be sudden temperature changes, up and down although it is usually down. These can be recorder on a thermometer.

25 A person may suddenly become cold while the temperature remains constant. A thermometer may record a one to two degree drop in that person.

26 People may have a feeling of being watched or that they are not alone.

27 People may hear voices when no one is present.

28 People will often hear their name called only to find that no one is around. Sometimes, a couple will each think they heard the other call to them.

29 There may be a sensation of wind blowing even with the windows closed.

30 Lights will go off or not come on when turned on.

31 Apparent retaliation after some attempt to stop the activity.

32 Activity starts up when you attempt to say prayers.

33 Apparent retaliation if a clergyman has been to the home.

34 Physical attacks. It might be in the form of punching, scratching, biting, hair pulling, etc.

35 Psychological attacks. The devil knows your weaknesses and will try to exploit them. Someone who feels ashamed about something will have an increase in that emotion. The same is true for depression, anxiety and anything else you can think of.

36 Sexual assaults. This can run the gamut from fondling to actual penetration. This can occur in males as well as females.

37 Levitation of objects or people.
