I have two Christian friends who are plagued by evil spirits. One has been a Christian for fourteen months, but believes that her husband and children would be better off if she took her own life. The other one, whose husband is studying for the ministry, has times of severe depression which make her sick. What should be done in such cases?
The devil would like to destroy all of us, and he tries to tell us to take our own lives. In a case like this, we just do not listen to the devil.
When we feel unwanted and unloved, we must ask ourselves: To whom have I shown love lately? If you want to be loved, start loving someone else. Be generous, and you will find that love begets love.
What is the difference between oppression and possession?
Possession is the complete take-over of a personality. To oppress means to press down. There is a world of difference between the two. When you are oppressed, you can say, "Go," and the oppression has to go. But you cannot deliver yourself from demon possession. You must have someone to help you because you are a prisoner at that time.
When you are delivering someone, how important is it to know what evil spirit you are dealing with?
It is not necessary to know what spirit is possessing a person to deliver him. Many times it is obvious what kind of spirit it is, such as a deaf spirit. If you don't know, just command the evil spirit to go, and it will go regardless of what kind it is.
In the story in Matthew 8:28-34, why did the demons want to go into the herd of pigs, and why did Jesus allow them to do so?
Demons must have a body in order to manifest themselves and to do the things they wish to do. They will reside in humans or animals, wherever they can gain entrance.
Can a demon-possessed person resist Satan, or does he have to do what he is told by him?
The demon-possessed girl in the Bilibid Prison in Manila, Philippines, told me that the devil wanted her to go away with him, but she refused to go. Even though she was possessed, she had her own right of will. The possessed boy who kept disappearing told me the same thing. There were things the spirit wanted him to do that he refused to do.
I believe this is very significant. Even when the devil possesses a person, that person's will is still there.
Our son belongs to a club in high school that originated from a current popular game based on the Middle Ages. We understand that some of the teachers, as well as students, play this game. Is this a spiritually dangerous game?
There are many good games available; but some games being introduced today as challenging games of skill and intellect are actually promoting elements of sorcery, witchcraft, and divination. The players are persuaded to develop their imaginations to explore evil characteristics and the casting of actual spells. This indeed is dangerous and can open up an avenue for demonic oppression and influence over the player's life.
