Are you saved? if your not then you probably have a demon controlling your life through lies or distortions.You cannot be possesed as a child of God but influenced by satan. - Actually i am right! If you Dont belong to God who do you belong to? The bible says there is only two kind of people in the world ,saved and unsaved. He also says,Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: (Colossians 1:13) To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. (Acts 26:18) As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. (Matthew 9:32) But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. (Matthew 12:28) And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. (Mark 5:15) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. (I John 3:10) this means that before we are saved we are children of the devil. He controls our minds ,thoughts,actions,lives.The man in the bible that was possessed and when he came to Jesus the devil had to leave. Also in Math 9:32 it says"but if i cast out devild by the spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you" meaning that this person got saved! You cannot get to the kingdom of God unless you get saved! The devil has programmed us to think and act a certian way. God says "come to me and I'll teach you what is normal and how you should think and act.The way I am now is completly different than when I belonged to the devil. * to add to my answer from the bible- First class citizens, good parents,church members and fine moral leaders are under the dominion of Satan. The answer comes from the word of God "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:18) "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (II Corinthians 4:4) The bible also says, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because..., he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." (John 8:44) If you are not saved you belong to the devil and he is your father. Before I got saved he was mine also. The question was " how can I tell if I'm demonically possessed?" and these verses tell us plainly. You think about it! Would God demonically posses us or would Satan? If someone is possesed then they don't have to be the bible says " "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. " (Matthew 11:28)

Start proclaim the truth the Jesus was and is the Son of God, and that He came to this world in the flesh, was crucified, and rose again. Say the Jesus is Lord. See what happens then. Cry out to Jesus for deliverance from demons, repenting of your sins and give your life to Jesus. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you. If you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then there is no room for anything else. But also know, that Satan spoke scripture, and all the demons know that Jesus is the Son of God. So you really have to cry out to Jesus and ask Him to come in once you turn from your sins, and ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

If you believe you are demonically possessed, go and seek psychiatric help. You are not possessed. There is no such thing as possession. Ignore the misguided and dangerous comments given by others to this question. They are sick and need help.

I am one person that had not one but three demons inside. I would find someone that knows God and the word of God to pray for you. Don't let skeptics scare you away from your only chance of freedom. Taking NUTTERS medication will only numb you into taking no action at all. Get to know what Jesus did on the cross. This is real freedom. The difference between him and millions of other prophets and idols is that he cast out demons. Pick up a bible or read one online. I recommend NIV Bible. Its in plain english and understandable. Read about what Jesus did with the Demons and how they responded to him. Skitzophrenia is a form of demon possession. I actually heard one of these things say something as it left me. They can only hurt you if you let them. Find out what power you have in Jesus Name. Find on google "john safran vs God" you can see the video of his deliverance. This guy went out to challenge God and found himself possessed. I dont want to scare you but we are a three fold being. Mind Body and spirit. If you dont have Jesus, you have something else my friend which enslaves you.

pocession happens in rebellion; the symptoms would be... hatred of religion particularlly Christianity Interest in evil, blood & gore Interest in sexual perversions... decisions to hurt people & animals desire to kill yourself or others look stuff up on the internet for more...

Throw Holy Water on yourself and look for steam.

You are NOT demonically posessed. You are suffering from emotional problems, and that is your problem. These problems could be physical, in which case, the solution is drugs, which I frown upon, or therapy, which I would encourage. Your diet is crucial, if you eat garbage, guess what you wind up feeling like? So start eating fruits, grains, vegetables and fish, and SKIP THE REST !!! Ice cream, Hostess Ho's etc., are garbage food, that you've been trained to eat. They make you sick. Stop being sick, and start being well...

Hello. The Devil exists and demons exists also. I have seen various aparitions in my life since 7, and went 4 years ago to a Psychologist, no mind disease on me. A possesed one, have some different syntoms: -You look fix -You hate religion -You speak in languages -You dream with evil -You see apparitions and fear it -You hear orders to kill somebody -You see demons visiting you at night -You'll feel touchs to your body and sexual touchings (over all if woman) What to do? Well, don't speak with a scientist, firts talk to a Jehovah Withness elder, an Evangelic pastor or a catholic priest and try to make it understand how you're suffering. May God bless you all.

1) Here is a list of symptoms used by the catholic church in the Middle Ages: "The ability to curse/blaspheme in languages unknown to the person. The ability to find secret things, read the mind, and divine future happenings. The ability to make physical efforts abnormal for that person. The act of spitting or vomiting every object the demons would have made the person swallow. Other symptoms occasionally listed include: Fear and/or hatred of holy objects. The inability to say the word "Christ"." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonic_possession 2) "Demonic possession is not a valid psychiatric or medical diagnosis recognized by either the DSM-IV or the ICD-10. Those who profess a belief in demonic possession have sometimes ascribed the symptoms associated with mental illnesses such as hysteria, mania, psychosis, or dissociative identity disorder to possession. There is, however, a mental disease called demonomania or demonopathy. This is a monomania in which the patient believes that he or she is possessed by one or more demons." (same source)

Yes, you ARE what you eat. So, the next time you are in the supermarket, take a good look at what you are considering buying, and ask yourself the question, "Is THIS what I want to be?". Sounds absurd, I know, but if you think about it a little bit, you will understand.

You're not, you have common sense to post this question. If you were, the demon within you would've eaten the mouse, and bit the keyboard.

I am not surprised at the polarized comments on this question. It will always arouse interest. The loony views of unbelievers and believers alike is beyond comprehension. Just becayse you belive in demons does not mean that they are everywhere and that every wrong done is due to oppression. You are responsible for your own wrongdoing. If you don't believe in demons or spiritual thing why do so many sink to the depths of insult towards a people who you claim are deluded. Surely if you are so right it is your responsibility to reveay truth and not just attack with foolish insults which polarize and do not educate. Why don't you prove to me that your convictions are truth?

dont worry about being demonically possessed. its ok. satan loves you. (i am a demon.)

Bean sprouts will pop out of your ears.

You ARE possessed and this here is the demon that has possesed you! I AM PAZUZU! King of the evil spirits of the air!

I'd think levitating and hurling spitpeasoup colored vomit would be a clue.

If you find yourself at your grandmothers house smoking crack in your dreams then you might want to think about a philosophy change from all that is around you throughout it all once more though try it it will be as good as you ever imagined it could have been in all your days the land will part and the sea with many will look away from your danger..... youre too late.....

I know there are stupid people out there but theses on here take the cake.....especially the ones with the wannabe phsycho- analysis jarbon

everyone is at all times... the question is whether you have the will power not to act on their influences and learn from them

I doubt you can, though you should not try to diagnose a possession but plan to prevent it. If you are filled with Someone better, you can't be possessed by any unclean spirit.

do you like to exorcise? do you wear a gold crucifix? do like pea soup? does your neck swivel?

Is there physical pain ?

Have you recently read a book of myths, and are you an impressionable person? That would explain it.

As far as demons go, The Exorcism of Emily Rose definitely took the case. But what's the real story behind the movie? In actuality, there never was an Emily Rose. The girl's real name was Anneliese Michel, a German girl who died in 1976. And instead of one person who came to perform the exorcism, there were two -- Father Arnold Renz and Pastor Ernst Alt. The event marks the occasion of the last time the Catholic Church officially recognized a case of demonic possession and sanctioned an exorcism rite. It all started back in 1968 when Michel started shaking and claimed that she could not control her body. Soon after these attacks began she said she started seeing demonic grimaces during her prayers and claimed she was under a demonic possession.

Voices soon followed, saying phrases such as, "Anneliese will stew in hell!" Unsure of what to do, Michel turned to her doctors and told them only once that the demons inside of her were starting to give her orders. Though the doctors prescribed her medication, Michel lost hope in the medicine being able to cure her. Her parents were then forced to seek alternative methods. They began visiting different pastors to request an exorcism. However, her parents were rejected, stating that the only way an exorcism could be performed was if the patient began speaking a language that he or she has never been able to speak before or gains supernatural powers. In 1974, after Michel had been supervised for some time, Pastor Alt came into the picture. He requested to perform an exorcism from the Bishop of Wurzburg. He was then rejected, just as Michel's parents had been. But Michel's attacks did not lessen; in fact, they worsened. She began insulting, biting and beating other members of the family. She would sleep on the stone cold floor and eat spiders, flies and coal. She even began drinking her own urine. She would scream for countless hours throughout the day, break crucifixes, destroy paintings of Jesus, commit acts of mutilation, rip off her clothes and urinate on the floor. Her attacks became so strong that, at times, she needed to be held down by three men or even be chained up. Finally, in September of 1975, Alt and Father Renz were granted the right to perform "The Great Exorcism" on Michel.

listen to the voices...they will not lead you wrong. kill them all

Despite English language translation tradition, the Bible never refers to people as being possessed by demons. The main New Testament expressions referred to demonic influence are: 1. 'to be demonized' (daimonizomai) - this is the most frequent expression. 2. 'having a demon' (echon daimonion) - note it is the person who possesses the demon, not the demon who possesses the person. Certainly the language of "possession", like other mistranslations, has gained a life of its own, as is reflected in the title of this article. Murphy comments on the traditional language of "possession": "Fortunately, the practice of using these terms is now in the process of correction because of renewed historical-contextual studies of Scripture and renewed experience with the demonized." Some allow the term "possession" but restrict its use only for the most extreme cases, which are thought to be extremely rare.

OH and your farts smell

a possed person will be compleatly awar of wot the are going and will go thru not so much mood swings but change....wer as in a mental illnes u dont think any diffrent of wot your doing all so youll get fucked up dreams...mine got to a point wer i close my eyes and i see shit that are to bad for night mares

You will feel as though you are "a body within a body". You will no longer feel 100% in control of your actions. You might go get a drink of water and suddenly, you feel compelled to drink a can of coke. Depending on what's possessing you, you might feel angry or violent, sad or helpless. You will have nightmares or vivid dreams - things you won't normally ever have dreamed before. You will feel like you're insane, you will feel helpless, crazy, but in the dark recesses of your mind, you know you're not. It's a terrifying feeling, and no one really understands what you're going through till they've been there. I have been there, which is why I understand.

yes there is a chance if you have to ask that question. being possessed by the devil? some poeple are so stupid in using that word..pshh like they know anything. there are such things as being posssessed by demons for sure though. being possessed is when your free will is no longer there, for that moment. it happens. you cant say it based on what you hearfrom your own family members. who are you to say that its not real? are you some hotshot person or someone really special? do you have experience and have you met people who believe and have been like that before? do you know enough? most likely not. when a person is possessed, they may or may not remember what happened when they were possessed. something takes over their mind. demon possession can be scary and demons can follow people around, anything ranging from seeing weird shadows that everyone else around you can see may occur. ways to end that would be accepting jesus into your heart, if you are. go to church when saved and stay there...it will go away. if you have and youre saved and seeing things it emans you have a chemical imbalance, and you will need to see the doctor for that. and the enemies you created when you were possessed, just stay faithful to God, and he will take care of it. even peace. this is a blog about a girl who got possessed, and even someone else's story can get worse than that. i am that GIRL lmbo. im fine. made a lot of enemies and had a scary scary time at home for many months too cause i kept on seeing things on the chandalier and even my parents saw it too. then it disappeared. it was a firgure of a mans head, it was a shadow across from where i sat at home. nobody died in my house, and that time i didnt play with witchcraft...i was in perfect mental health. because i got possessed, i got into trouble with gangs. sounds like a whatever thing but who cares? i mean God knows my heart, and he knows what i think. doesnt matter. i believe God will one day give me peace with my enemies, even if they hate me and treat me badly now. :] peace, that is all. i dont think theres a guarantee in the bible that it says that they wont hate me. it would be nice, since they hated the demons in me, but not the real me, but still its kidna sad cause the demons dont suffer for what they did, i am suffering for what they caused over what God allowed so i could be fORCED into going to CHURCH AND STAYING there. boo hoo. the last thing i needed to be was a "solid christian" ugh. now i have to be cause if i dont i could wind up possessed again. they say that if youer christian you cant get possessed, but according to other christians stories theere are some cases where demon possession can occur. its more of a he said she siad even if its from directly the person. whether you believe or not, if you are in GODS PLAN, which is accepting jesus into your heart, and start going to a bible-based church and following god faithfully nothing out of GODS will can occur to you. if you are not doing the above, anything goes in your life, and the bible says , not what the pope says, that you are not in GODS will. but im better off than i used to be. didnt know Gods love. didnt know much about God before and i know more, and I dont treat people badly. and i get blessed for things that i pray for! and if enemies treat me bad, its their lives theyre ruining, not much of mine. so im fine with that. i dont believe that i will end up not getting from Gods promises. One day I will get it. maybe 1 year from now, maybe even when i turn 90. but one day i will get it. cause Hes faithful. read my story if youre interested! well its not a sotry, its just something that warns people to go to church, and get saved first of all. talks about demon possession..you are welcome to read it. http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=432684468&blogId=507065574 but anything else you are not welcome to because i didnt invite you to do so :] anything about God im willing to share with you. take care and get into Gods will! you can start by believing this : Romans 3:23- “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Because we’re sinners, the punishment for sin is death in Hell. “For the wages of sin is death…” –Romans 6:23. How can we go to Heaven? God still loves us even with sin in our lives. "But God commendeth (showed) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” rm 3:8 What should I do now? Romans 10:9 says; “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” God wants to “Save” you from the punishment of Hell. All you have to do is trust in Him to take you to Heaven. Ask him to “save” you from your sins and take you to Heaven when you die. You can pray the following prayer: God, I admit I am a sinner on my way to Hell. I believe that Jesus died for me. Please save me, and take me to Heaven when I die. Thank you for saving me. Amen. the prayer does not take us to heaven but its what we believe in our heart about what the bible says about jesus, not what the pope says, saying that you have to be good enough. we are saved by GRACE, lest any man should boast. this means that we dont need to be good, but being good just means that we are in GODS WILL and we get rewarded when we get to Heaven.

you all of a sudden feel something that has no way of rising through your mind. like ideas or something unusualy off that wasn't like your character at all.

Asking such a question would suggest that you need some kind of help.

People start calling you 'the mother in law'.

Your head rotates like a wheel and you vomit what looks like green pea soup.

There is no such thing as demonic possession. Nor is there such a thing as demons. 'Demonic possession' was just an ignorant explanation used by primitive peoples and the church that did not understand mental illnesses like schizophrenia. Anyone who thinks they are demonically possessed needs psychological help.

You are, Blanche, you ARE.

I for one do think possesion is possible and i think im a ifflicted as well when i go near a church i start getting sick i hear voices in my head about people hurting other people if seen a black pit of dispair and something actually controls my body usen ur own feelings against you.the sane moment i have is the few seconds before bed and they few seconds before i fully awake.ive seen people around make like snake fang jestures with thier hands and i even felt my own hand being forced to try to emulated it before i relize wats going on i stop it theres a push or will thats against mine when it comes to do right and wrong

You're on AnswerBag. That's a big clue.

Easy...you're not
