When to Blame the Devil

Are Demons Real and Signs You Are Possessed by One

One of the most heated debates among Christians is whether demons are real. According to the Bible, demons are evil spirits that work against God and His people. Demons are often mentioned in the Bible as being opponents of God and Christians. They are often associated with Satan, and their ultimate goal is to lead humans away from God and into eternal damnation. They are also worshipped by some satanists as powerful spirits that can be harnessed for good or evil. 

Christians believe that demons are very real and that they can influence and manipulate people in a variety of ways. There are many stories of people who claim to have been possessed by demons or to have encountered them in other ways. However, some skeptics argue that demons are nothing more than figments of our imagination, created to explain away the dark side of human nature. While there is no definitive answer, demons continue to be a source of controversy and fascination for many people.

The most obvious sign is that you have no self-control. You will feel an urge to do things that you normally wouldn't do, like cussing, fighting, destroying things, or property. You will be uncontrollably angry, and your eyes may even become black as coal. Your mood swings will be excessive, and you will be attracted to dark things and places. Demons also like to cause physical pain to their host body, so if you start experiencing unexplained burns, cuts, bruises, or scratches, it's a sign that you may be possessed. Another sign of demonic possession is when you are murmuring or making unintelligible sounds as if you are wrestling with someone (it may sound like Christian tongue speaking, but it is not) or having a sudden change in vocal patterns - deep growls, high-pitched screams, or animal noises. If you suspect that you may be possessed, the best thing to do is seek help from a Christian pastor or priest who can perform an exorcism.

While demonic stories are often relegated to the world of fiction, there are many people who claim to have experienced demonic possession firsthand. These personal accounts often describe intrusive thoughts, demonic voices, and feelings of being controlled by an outside force.

A person who was once kind and loving may become filled with rage, and a person who was once healthy may become sick and twisted. In addition, demons often seek to undermine a person's relationship with God or their faith in general. They may try to manipulate a person into believing that there is no God, or that Satan is the only true god. Additionally, demons may encourage a person to engage in sinful behaviors, such as violence, sexuality, or drug use. Finally, demons may try to isolate a person from their friends and family. If you notice any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it is possible that they are possessed by a demon. Of course, only a professional can make a definitive diagnosis. However, if you suspect that someone you know is possessed, it is important to seek help right away. demons can be very dangerous, and they will stop at nothing to destroy a person's life. 

In some cases, people have even reported seeing demonic beings or demonic entities known as black-eyed children and other strange alien creatures. They are said to terrorize communities across the globe. These demonic creatures are said to stalk their victims and possess immense strength and speed. They are also said to have the ability to transform their appearance to look like normal children, angels, grotesque figures, women, men, ghostly images, and animals. 

Black-eyed children are often associated with demon possession and alien encounters. There are many personal experiences of black-eyed children that have been documented, but their true nature remains a mystery. Some believe that they are demonic entities that are looking for new victims to possess, while others believe that they are aliens that are seeking to abduct humans. Whatever the case may be, black-eyed children remain one of the most mysterious and feared creatures in the world. Joey was 11 when he first started seeing the black-eyed children. They would knock on his bedroom window at night, and when he looked out, they would be standing there, staring at him with their soulless eyes. Sometimes they would be whispering to each other, and he could just make out the words "let us in." He was never sure what they wanted, but he knew that they were up to no good. 

One night, he decided to confront them. He opened the window and yelled at them to go away. They just stood there, looking at him calmly. Then, one of them spoke. "We can't go away," the child said in a cold voice. "We've been sent here for you." Joey realized then that these were no ordinary children - they were demons. 

He tried to slam the window shut, but they were too quick for him. They barged into his room and started chasing him around. He screamed for help, but no one came. The demons cornering him, taunting him, telling him that he was going to die. Just when it seemed like they were going to catch him, he woke up from the nightmare - but it didn't feel like a dream; it felt all too real. 

After that experience, Joey started seeing the black-eyed children everywhere he went - in school, at the park, even in his own home. They were always just out of reach, always just beyond his sight. And try as he might, he could never shake them. They were haunting him, tormenting him, until finally he took his own life to escape their clutches. 

This is just one example of what can happen when demons enter our world and try to take over our lives. These stories serve as a warning to us all - be careful what you wish for; you may just get it... in the form of a demonic possession.

While it is difficult to verify these claims, they offer a glimpse into the dark side of human nature. For those who have experienced demon possession, these stories serve as a warning that there is evil in this world that can take control of our lives.

When They Say or Act Like They are Better Than You

They Will Not Change

Sucked into Dramas? Avoid the Bait

For years, I have provided wise content on this blog about how to fight off one's adversary, whether seen or unseen, in the lives of many believers.  The victims find themselves being sucked into dramas whether they willingly went along with the script or not.  Before long, someone or a group is using and abusing them.  As I type, some individuals are still trying to find their way out of the matrix of relational "issues."

How did you or they get there, you know caught up in someone else's drama, in the first place?  You had an open heart, an ear to hear, and a drive to want to help.  The problem for so many believers is when do you cut off the help, when do you stop saying, "yes" and start saying, "no"?  The signs are usually there early on when you look in your bank account and realize you overspent on someone whether they were deserving or not.  More signs are sure to follow when they stop saying things like, "Thank you, what can I do for you?"  Still more signs when you need help and they say, "Oh, I'm sorry I can't...I wish I could..."

Let's rewind and learn from what we did and move into the future of what we won't?  Sound good?  I stopped and looked around and I knew that I had done more than enough to the point that I was starting to feel overwhelmed.  I didn't want to be a part of anyone else's world whether invited or not.  I realized that just as in the Bible the Israelites had to venture to the land of milk and honey, those that I knew had to do the same.  Nowhere in the Bible are we supposed to be the milk and honey for others.  You are not the supply, God is!  I believe that is why for many believers we end up burning out, because we attempt to meet everyone's needs while leaving no energy, finances, time, etc. for ourselves to accomplish whatever it is that God would want for us.

The next time the drama starter calls, stops by to ask a favor, or sends a text or email; rather than say, "Let me see what I can do..." or "Sure, I'll take care of that..." how about saying, "no" like they would to you, sooner rather than later.  Here's what that looks like if in person.

You have to suddenly get up and tend to other business in the next room.

You have to make a phone call.

You have to walk away and get ready to go somewhere.

You have got an important meeting or task to tend to.

Here's what that sounds like:

"I'm sorry that is happening to you.  I'll tell you what, I'll pray and may God send someone to help you."

"I really wish I could help, but I am in no position to, I have done all I can, and I can't do anything else.  I suggest you look for someone else to help you with that." (Keep repeating in different ways until they get the message.)

It was so nice helping you before, but it won't be so nice this go round because I can't do it." (No explanation necessary.) 

Drama comes in many forms from casual conversation to a stare with possibly a tear trickling down one's eye.  Whichever way it shows up, you know that the drama queen is using words, eyes, service, and anything else to hook you.  Once you, like a fish, swims on over for a bite, got you!  So, avoid the bait before it escalates into drama, make yourself unavailable from the start.

A Steady Stream of Warring Spirits Have Long Been Unleashed

When I shared on YouTube NM Enterprise 7, the audio, "Conflict Between Hot-Headed Men..." I referenced 2 Samuel 20.  You will find that this passage of scripture has some similarities to modern day discord between nations and will result in more death, mayhem and destruction.  For we do not wrestle against flesh, but principalities, rulers of darkness...according to Ephesians 6:12.  

So what did the witches and warlocks unearth in their early morning gatherings? What did they conjure up in their incantations? A steady stream of warring spirits designed to bring about swift death and more suffering for humans.  Their spells only added fuel to fires that had already been set by others like themselves.  

In their attempt to put the jack back into the box, they brought on very unecessary and losing battles for all parties.  Of course, it appears like all is going according to plan and in some cases it is, for those who scripted the events, but like with all the occultic elites manufactured agendas they can't uncover all possibilites of when things go wrong. Now what do they do?  There is nothing that can be done in the human realm, but in the spiritual, there is!  A Christ-like character, a gifted group, one that is of faith, can move mountains!  But where can you find such men and women, these unspriitual men and women can't, but God can--He is the One who appoints.  

A stubborn man or woman hell-bent on their personal agendas, unwilling to waver or compromise will not welcome the people of God in any circle.  They would rather suffer before sincerely calling out to an Almighty God's assistance; therefore, they continue to suffer like Pharaoh did along with his people in Exodus.

I hope/wish/pray for easy fixes and simple explanations to bring about change. but we, who have followed Christ for some time, know better.  There is nothing but the blood of Jesus that can wash away the sins of men, women and children and that, my friends, is not what the elitists want to hear. They are more likely to receive Jesus when they are so desperate that all they have is Jesus!

So hear we are once again viewing media filled with negative outcomes.  The plan, at the time I am writing this, is to save the water, sea, air, and land when the fighting is over in Ukraine and other locations where resources are in abundance.  

Internationally leaders' desires for more resources will continue to be prevalent.  However, we all will continue to pay a heavy price, not just at the gas pump, for their insatiable needs to divide, conquer, re-invent, re-establish, reform, and recreate systems that have long been in place for decades and centuries.

"When the system is broken, man comes up with a way to so-called 'fix it' and when it isn't, he still finds a way to break it." -- Nicholl McGuire

Keep praying!
