Spirits

[L.A.M.B.]

There is oppression of wrong or evil spirits as opposed to possession of demonic spirits .

The word says this about oppression;
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Then there is possession;
Matthew 12:44-45 (NKJV)
Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation."

Amen. We do not need to fear any of these spirits as the Lord is greater than them all.

So many young people today seems to suffer from allergies or mental health issues that I put down to this oppression you talk about. And so many people just can't cope with the things life throws at us.

 

[St. SteVen]

There is oppression of wrong or evil spirits as opposed to possession of demonic spirits .

Are you claiming there is no such thing as demon possession?

I didn't get that impression.

 

[L.A.M.B.]

I didn't get that impression.

Thank you for recognizing I was pointing out the spiritual forces that come against believers. A born again believer "IN CHRIST cannot be possessed of satan !

If we walk in the Spirit of God, NOTHING can overcome us, NOTHING! The Holy Spirit discerns and makes us aware if we become suspectable to these said spirits.

I refused to engage with a taunter and mocker of those that believe God's truth revealed in his word.

Furthermore, this thread was not meant to be a debate but information. However, I can see by the tagging that someone wants a debate of mockery.

If it gets out of hand by twisting & corrupting the word, I will have it locked.

****List of spiritual strongmen listed in the bible:

Where did you dig this up? Can you cite your source?

Doesn't the use of the word "strongman" indicate possession?

Mark 3:22-29 NIV
And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said,
“He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”
23 So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables:
“How can Satan drive out Satan?
24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come.
27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up.
Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.
28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter,
29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven;
they are guilty of an eternal sin.”

Here is you a source on whom the strongman is .https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_Strong_Man#:~:

 

[St. SteVen]

Thank you for recognizing I was pointing out the spiritual forces that come against believers.

So, none of the things you listed come against unbelievers?

A born again believer "IN CHRIST cannot be possessed of satan !

How did you arrive at that conclusion?

You have refused to cite your source? Why would you conceal it?

The list in your post is not at that link. Try again.

However it does reveal that I was correct. The term strong man is in reference to possession and deliverance.

The list in your post is not at that link. Try again.

Nor did I say it was. The link I gave you was in reference to the strongman. FYI it was a study done at a Bible college. Instead of being an instigator, research the scriptures given.

Here is one about the strongholds
2 Corinthians 10:4-5
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of
Christ;

Putting the agitator & instigator back on ignore as per discernment!

Putting the agitator & instigator back on ignore as per discernment!

That's what I get for requesting clarification and citation of source. ???
Not sure why that makes me the enemy. Dogma never likes to be questioned.
I think that is even listed as a strong man in the OP list.

As if it is Satanic oppression to ask questions.
The church just wants you to zip-it.
Unbelievers go to hell. So, don't question anything.
As if that isn't spiritual oppression right there.

You are claiming that demonic possession is not the result of engaging in all these activities?

No, no, and no. (well, sometimes)

Do you believe that a Christian would never need deliverance ministry?

[St. SteVen]

Do you believe that a Christian would never need deliverance ministry?

I think the term "demonic oppression" is unbiblical.
It was coined because of the apologetic that claimed a Christian could not have a demon. (possession)

As a non believer....my whole life was revolves around fear...I only realised that, when I became Born Again.


No, I don’t believe a Born Again, would need deliverance ministry.

How can they be possessed if they are Born Again...the Spirit of God is in them?

I was still in fear as a new babe......it took the Love of God to rid me of that terrible fear ,and would you believe I also had a fear of men?

1 John 4:18​

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:because fear hath torment*. He that feareth is not made perfect inlove.

Look at me now......God has built me up into the woman he wanted me to be....I could NEVER thank him enough....Praise His Holy Name.

Only God’s LOVE can cast out all FEAR?

This is my testimony and belief....others may vary.

What say you?
