[quote name='MakeYouThink' post='1633037' date='Aug 20 2008, 07:35 PM']I would love to buy that house. I want to own one of those Haunted Houses, because they'd be cheap because nobody would buy it. After that, I would just allow God to continue to do what he has always done for me, protect me for any demonic harm while I pray for him to send each and every single one of those demonic idiots to hell!

I would get to make the world safer, and also get a pretty cheap home! Woot![/quote]

Well intentioned... but a very bad plan. You'd seriously be putting yourself at risk for becoming possessed. Demons are very tricky. They know they can't possess you as long as you challenge them under God's authority, but they will attack you in every way to scare you, shame you, or whatever until you question God for a second -- then you might be needing an exorcist yourself.

But, if you're really wanting to put a few demons in their place, pursue holiness and start drawing souls to Christ. They'll probably come and find you.

They already do my friend.

I have grown to depend on the Lord so much, because I know there are only things he can do - like salvation. I am nothing when it comes to those attackers, they would overpower me so easily, like those men who tried to use the name of Jesus to rebuke demons out of a certain group of men in Acts, but, unlike them, the holy spirit protects me and gives me the protection I need to send them straight to their torments!

Demons are physically attacking you? Or are you referring to the more common temptations of the flesh that we all experience?

Yeah, I'll have to remember that line But, just wanted to be clear about the nature of what I was talking about because some people will pass by a Dairy Queen and think the Devil is tempting them to order an ice cream sundae. One of my former co-workers used to know a Pentecostal lady who was always being attacked by such demons... the sleep demon, the procrastination demon, the pork chop demon... they were everywhere!

Oh heck yeah! They name a demon for almost anything...I wonder if there is a demon of stupidity? lol, okay that was bad.

Sometimes it's just us. Demons don't always have to tempt us.

Yeh, that just seems like refusing to take responsibility.

You'll have to use your imagination for that. No, I don't believe there are demons for everything. Temptation is something inside of man, though sometimes the devil will come to tempt himself, all temptation is inside of our own hearts, minds which lead to actions.

But yes, I have dealt with demons who cause physical pain and damage.

Why would you say that? That's an interesting thing to say. Multiple Personalities are always Demonic possession.

I think the field of psychology would disagree with you. Do you think that all people who hear voices are possessed, too?

Why make a comment when I was joking around?

[lilac_angel]

I didn't know you were joking. There were no sarcastic emoticons or anything and I don't know you very well.

My reaction too.
'Tis why we have emoticons.

... That's one way of interpreting that post. Really, you reminded me of another PMer who used to come (who was not Catholic)... I was trying to disguise my accusing you of being someone else.

And which one would you think I am? I come by every so often, because I like hanging out here.

[jeffpugh]

If you are one of those who haven't been seen around, why make a new name? Why change faces?

Maybe he was bann'd.

[jeffpugh]

Maybe... but I know of one person who's had multiple personalities, though none of the accounts were banned.

LOL!

I don't have multiple personalities. . . LOL!

Yeah, I wanted out of here for a while, so I asked for my account to be closed forcibly.
