F rom ancient time until now, many people suffer demons possession. During a demons possession, the person fall into a trance like state, Christians call this "Slain in the spirit" Whenever, Satanic force done this, during the time when the person was past out. Satanic spirit went into the person and take control of the person body. Sometime the person human spirit is driven out, sometime the person spirit remains, but under the control of the demons that now came in. This will give the person two personality. In ancient time, these people were call "Walkers" Because they are walking around like ordinary people, but are not. I visit churches where the whole churches are only walkers, drones, or demons possess.

Luke 8:35 (KJV) Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

Was perfectly sound in mind. Thus God can do in one moment what it takes man months and years to do. Insanity often consists of one erroneous idea or train of ideas. Sometimes, not always, the whole mind is astray. Injury on the head, lack of nutrition, malfunction of the glands, narcotics and various stimulant drugs, fever, worry, demon possession, and other things cause mental derangement. Demons are responsible for most of these. The reality of demons to drive men out of their right minds is witnessed daily on earth. Demons are not to be feared, for physical control, clean living, and faith in God can drive out all demon powers from any and all persons who will take God's way of life through Christ.

It is shocking to know that many Bible believing Christians, do not know the Holy Spirit, neither know the people who truly belonging to God. A group of us prospective ministers of religions was congregate at a certain place, for service. I woke up in the night and find three of our young men in the act of sodomy. When I think about it, these men were regarded as the best of us; they got all the preaching privilege. All the prophecy and message from God so call came for them. Another instances, I visited a certain relative of mine, after church one Sunday evening. The man has our deacon daughter in the nude at his house. When we went to Church that same night, the main Holy Ghost person in the church got up and call out to the brother "Bro John Dick Cat the lord say you are doing good among us, please stay close to the young people them" When I heard it I almost burst a blood vessel, "This guy is getting all the vagina among and he is getting all the preaching privileges also, no wonder the people cannot serve God "That thing throw my life off course for a few years. These people have falling out of the way, and Satan has blinded them.

Luke 16:15 (KJV) And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Degrees and high positions are not guarantees that a believer will be able to fight spiritual battle and overcome this spirits that attached themselves to advance believers.

1 Tim. 4:1 (KJV) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1 Tim. 4:2 (KJV) Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

WOLVES LIKE DEMONS SAY ANY THING TO GET INSIDE.

Acts 20:29 (KJV) For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Acts 20:30 (KJV) Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

1 John 4:2 (KJV) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 1 John 4:3 (KJV) And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

THE BELIVER CAN BE DECEIVED AND CAST OFF THEIR FAITH.

1 Tim. 1:19 (KJV) Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

2 Tim. 2:18 (KJV) Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

Col. 2:8 (KJV) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

2 Peter 3:17 (KJV) Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

James 5:19 (KJV) Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; James 5:20 (KJV) Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

FALLING PREY TO KING SAUL SPIRIT.

1 Samuel 16:14 (KJV) But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.

1 Samuel 18:12 (KJV) And Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul. 1 Samuel 18:11 (KJV)And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.

GETTING TO KNOW DECEIVING SPIRITS.

There is the spirit of divination that fakes the Holy Spirit. Also there is the familiar spirit. Familiar spirit is a friendly demons, you would think, the way this person is nice he/ she is fill with the Holy Spirit, then when you saw how they back stabs and dig pits you faint at the wickedness. Acts 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: Leviticus 20:6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.

These two spirit take possession of many Church people, infect the church is a breeding ground for these two spirits. Some of them break fight right there in church. Behind all that niceness there will be a hate undreamt. These also do not have any stomach for the written word of God. They prefer somebody gave them a word Many Church people do not know genuine Christians, and do not know the spirit of God. Nor know demonic spirit. You and I will never live a triumphant Christian's life if we do not know deceiving spirits.

John 16:2 (Living) For you will be excommunicated from the synagogues, and indeed the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing God a service.

FOOLED BY EVIL SPIRITS.

Supposed conviction of sin by deceiving spirits. By Jesse Pen- Lewis, in the book title "War On The Saints" I united with a number of brethren and sisters one whole week every month, in prayer to God to pour out more of His Spirit, gifts and power. After having done this for some time with great earnestness, such powerful and wonderful manifestations of God and His Holy Spirit (apparently) took place, that we no longer doubted God had heard our prayer, and His Spirit had descended into our midst, and on our gathering. Amongst other things this spirit, which we thought to be the Holy Spirit, used a fifteen-year-old girl as his instrument, though whom everyone belonging to our gathering, and having any sin or burden of conscience, had it revealed to the gathering. Nobody could remain in the meeting with any burden of conscience without it being revealed to the meeting by this spirit. For example: a gentleman of esteem and respect from the neighborhood came to the meeting, and all his sins were exposed in the presence of the gathering by the fifteen-year-old girl. There upon he took me into an adjoining room, so broken down, and admitted to me, with tears, that he had committed all these sins, which the girl had exposed. He confessed this and all other sin known to him.

Then he came again into the meeting, but hardly had he entered when the same voice said to him" Ha! you have not confessed all yet, you have stolen ten gulden, that you have not confessed" in consequence, he took me again into the adjoining room and said" It is true, I have also done this" This man had never seen this fifteen-year-old girl in his life, neither she him.---We had to unmask this spirit which had brought about these things-which we took to be the Holy Ghost as a terrible power of darkness.-- As we came downstairs the voice of this power said, using the fifteen-year old girl as his instrument" What is this rebellion in your midst? You will be sorely punished for your unbelief" I told this voice that it was true we did not know with whom we had dealing.

But we wanted to be in that attitude, that if it was an angel of God, or the Spirit of God, we would not sin against Him, but if it was a devil we would not be deceived by him'' if you are the power of God, you will be in accord as we handle the Word of God.-- Then the power had to reveal itself of its own accord. Through the person which he had been using as his instrument he made such abominable and terrible grimaces, and shrieked in such a piercing tone'' Now I am found out, now I am found out"

HOW DEMONS ATTACK ADVANCE BELIVERS.

In The book "War On The Saints, by Jessie Penn-Lewis. Page 149-150. 1-3 The agency of demons is always brought more conspicuously into notice, in proportion to the manifestation and power of God's work among souls. When the son of God was manifest in the flesh, in called forth the activity and outspoken agency of demons more than ever before.

VARIOUS KINDS OF DEMONS.

Demons are of a multiplied variety. They are of various types, greater in diversity than human being, and these demons always seek to possess a person congenial to them in some characteristic. The Bible tells us of unclean demons, with craft and fortune-telling demons, of insanity, of drunkenness, of gluttony, of idleness, of wonder or miracle working, of despotic demons, theological demons, screeching and yelling demons. There are demons that act more particularly on the body, or some organ or appetite of the body. There are others that act more directly upon the intellect, or the sensibilities, and emotions, and affections.

There are others of a higher order that act directly on man's spiritual nature, upon the conscience, or the spiritual perceptions. These are the ones that act as angels of light, and sidetrack and delude many who are real Christians.

HOW DEMONS FASTEN ON HUMAN BEINGS.

They seek out those whose make-up and temperament is most congenial to themselves, and then seeks to fasten themselves on some part of the body, or brain, or some appetites, Or some faculty of the mind, either the reason, or imagination, or perception; and when they get access, they bury themselves into the very structure of the person, so as to identify themselves with the personality of the one they possess.

WILD ABNORMAL IMPULSES BEHAVIOURS.

"A very holy and useful woman says, that soon after receiving the baptism of the Spirit, there came to her one night in the church, a wild abnormal impulse to throw the hymn-book at the preacher, and run over the church screaming; and it took all her will power to keep her hand from throwing that book, but she had common sense to know that the Holy Spirit was not the author of such a suggestion. If she had yielded to those sudden feelings, it would have likely given that fanatical demon admission to her emotional nature and ruined her life-work.

Another person said he felt like rolling on the floor, and groaning and pulling the chairs around, but he distinctly perceived that the impulse to do so had some things wild in it; and a touch of self-display contrary to the gentleness and sweetness of Jesus; and, as quick as he saw it was an attack of a false spirit, he was delivered. But another man had the same impulse, and fell down groaning and roaring, beating the floor with his hands and feet, and the demon entered into him as the angel of light, and got him to think that his conduct was of the Holy Ghost, and it became a regular habit in the meetings he attended, until he would ruin every religious meeting he was in.

GETTING TO KNOW THE GENUINE HOLY SPIRIT.

To prevent your Satan from derail your faith, you will need to know who and what is the Holy Spirit. The reason for this, many church people will have you balking like a dog saying what they give you is Holy Spirit, and it is Holy Spirit making you behaving stupidly like that.

You might ask, how many Holy Spirit there are? There is one Holy Spirit. I will not elaborate on this because we have one book called fire on the mountain that deals with the Holy Spirit. But this is where many Christians went off course, because what is being portrayed in many churches as the Holy Spirit is just another one of Satan spirit posing to be the Holy Spirit. If a believer do not know the Holy Spirit and do not know when the Holy Spirit is operating upon a person life, he she is bound to be deceived by deceiving spirits.

FIRST MARK OF A GENUINELY FILLED CHRISTIAN.

Philip. 4:7 (KJV) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. All genuine Christians are filled with a peace and joy that passeth all understanding. If a believer fall under depression, he or she salvations is come under question. Especially those who has reasons to be giving thanks. Even under massive persecutions Christians in communist prison was rejoicing. Acts 16:25 (KJV) And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

Depression, mean spirited, sassy spirit and unforgiving spirit is not the mark of believer who has received the genuinely baptism of the Holy Spirit. This person is being deceived, by one of Satan familiar spirit posing as the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit came to give power to God's people.

Acts 1:8 (NASB-U) but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." Power for service, power to propagate the good news, boldness and courage to carry the gospel message to the end of the world.

THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME TO IMPLANT LOVE.

Romans 5:5 (NASB-U) and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Col. 3:12 (KJV) Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME TO SHOW US THINGS TO COME.

John 16:13 (NASB-U) "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME TO COMFORT THE SAINTS.

John 14:26 (NASB-U) "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME TO HELP US LIVE THE LIFE.

Zech. 4:6 (NASB-U) Then he said to me, "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the Lord of hosts. Zech. 4:7 (NASB-U) 'What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of "Grace, grace to it!" ' "

Ephes. 2:8 (NASB-U) For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Ephes. 2:9 (NASB-U) not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A SPIRIT OF LOVE.

Galatians 5:22 (KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Galatians 5:23 (KJV) Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Ephes. 5:9 (KJV) (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

1 John 4:20 (NASB-U) If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

2 Thes. 3:10 (NASB-U) For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.

What some people call love is hand out. They sit down and commit fornication all day and smoke and Christians relatives of the family must support them and they call it love.

THE HOLY SPIRIT DO NOT INGENEARED WILD IMPULSIVE BEHAVIOURS.

1 Cor. 14:40 (KJV) Let all things be done decently and in order.

Wild impulsive behaviors in the church are not of God, it is just self-displaying and self-lifting up. 1 Cor. 14:33 (KJV) For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

SATAN CAPATALIZED ON OUR VAIN AMBITIOSN.

Exodus 18:21 (KJV) Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: Exodus 18:25 (KJV) And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 1 Chron. 9:13 (KJV) And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God. 1 Chron. 26:8 (KJV) All these of the sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obed-edom. True Chronological Events

PREEMINENCE SEEKEERS.

3 John 1:9 (KJV)I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 3 John 1:10 (KJV)Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

FALL PREY TO SPIRITUAL ENVY.

Numbers 11:25 (KJV) And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease. Numbers 11:26 (KJV) But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.

Numbers 11:27 (KJV)And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.

Numbers 11:28 (KJV)And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. Numbers 11:29 (KJV)And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord's people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them!

b [the Spirit of the LORD] Transfer of Spirits In contrast with the Spirit of the Lord coming upon David from that day forward (1 Samuel 16:13), the same Holy Spirit departed from Saul, and an evil spirit troubled him (1 Samuel 16:14). This is evidence again that one who returns to sin may lose the Holy Spirit. Saul lost Him after having Him on his life for several years (1 Samuel 10:6,9-13; 1 Samuel 11:6; 1 Samuel 13:1). David believed such was possible, for he prayed for God not to take the Spirit from him (Psalm 51:11). Lucifer, fallen angels, demons, Adam and Eve, and many others are examples of sin causing one to lose what he has been given by the Lord. See

Holy Spirit Departing From Saul Not only the Holy Spirit, but God Himself had also departed from Saul (1 Samuel 18:12). The same was true of Samson. God departed from him (Judges 16:20).

Twenty-one Attempts of Saul to Kill David

1. An attempt by a javelin (1 Samuel 18:11) 2. Second attempt by javelin (1 Samuel 18:11) 3. By scheming to have him killed by the Philistines (1 Samuel 18:17-19) 4. Through Michal and the Philistines (1 Samuel 18:20-30) 5. Trying to get Jonathan and all his own servants to kill him (1 Samuel 19:1-7) 6. Third personal attempt to kill him by javelin (1 Samuel 19:8-10) 7. By messengers to his house (1 Samuel 19:11-14) 8. Messengers to his house (1 Samuel 19:15-16) 9. Messengers to Ramah (1 Samuel 19:17-20) 10. Messengers to Ramah (1 Samuel 19:21) 11. Messengers again to Ramah (1 Samuel 19:21) 12. By personally going to Ramah (1 Samuel 19:22-24) 13. Planning to kill him the first day of the feast (1 Samuel 20:24-26) 14. Planning to kill him the second day of the feast (1 Samuel 20:27-30) 15. Commanding that he be brought from home to die (1 Samuel 20:31-42) 16. Making war on Keilah to kill David (1 Samuel 23:8-13) 17. Seeking him in the wilderness of Ziph (1 Samuel 23:14-18) 18. Sending spies to find him (1 Samuel 23:19-24) 19. Sending his army after him (1 Samuel 23:25-29) 20. Again going after David with 3,000 selected men, but falling into his hands and being spared (1 Samuel 24:1-22) 21. Still again going after David with a selected army, but falling into his hands a s
