If ghosts are real, which I believe they are, I would think that they would not try to contact us unless we needed to hear from them for some reason.

I simply believe that human souls/spirits happen to physically manifest themselves in certain places. Most of us are afraid of them because we have active imaginations, not because they are actually threatening. However, if it happened to be a demon, then it would definitely be more threatening, especially to one who attempted to challenge it on their own authority rather than humbling themselves under Christ's authority.

MakeYouThink Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 [quote name='Nihil Obstat' post='1632781' date='Aug 20 2008, 01:02 PM']Reminds me of that scene in... Amityville Horror? If it's that then it was the recent remake. The priest was trying to bless the house and got harassed by the demon. Crucifix on the wall turned upside down... Priest got attacked or something... can't remember. It was based on a true story though. Not necessarily accurate, but things definitely happened in the real house. This priest actually did come, then ran out and refused to go back. Of course he didn't quite do his job, but given the circumstances... I understand. [/quote] I would love to buy that house. I want to own one of those Haunted Houses, because they'd be cheap because nobody would buy it. After that, I would just allow God to continue to do what he has always done for me, protect me for any demonic harm while I pray for him to send each and every single one of those demonic idiots to hell! I would get to make the world safer, and also get a pretty cheap home! Woot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a tenth of that movie were based in solid fact, then that house is a literally dangerous place to live. It'll take more than the prayers of one person. Maybe more than any number of priests. At least if it was sorta partially true, and I would imagine parts were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demons are very tricky. They know they can't possess you as long as you challenge them under God's authority, but they will attack you in every way to scare you, shame you, or whatever until you question God for a second -- then you might be needing an exorcist yourself. But, if you're really wanting to put a few demons in their place, pursue holiness and start drawing souls to Christ. They'll probably come and find you.

I have grown to depend on the Lord so much, because I know there are only things he can do - like salvation. I am nothing when it comes to those attackers, they would overpower me so easily, like those men who tried to use the name of Jesus to rebuke demons out of a certain group of men in Acts, but, unlike them, the holy spirit protects me and gives me the protection I need to send them straight to their torments!

Selah Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Oh heck yeah! They name a demon for almost anything...I wonder if there is a demon of stupidity? lol, okay that was bad.

Temptation is something inside of man, though sometimes the devil will come to tempt himself, all temptation is inside of our own hearts, minds which lead to actions. But yes, I have dealt with demons who cause physical pain and damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting thing to say. Multiple Personalities are always Demonic possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
