Christians Can Have Demons That Need To Be Dealt With | Derek Prince

People are laughing at the end when he said that today many demons are feeling comfortable in many churches. It is not something to laugh about. It is very sad.

Yeah I came here to comment about that! I don't think Derek was expecting or hoping for a laugh! Perhaps it was the demons within the people of the congregation that found it funny? Like a laugh of pride from them?

We as believers must learn to Cover ourselves in The Full Armor of God against Satans Wicked Devices. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will give us guidance counsel protection and deliverance 🔥🙏🏼✝️💖

[@brotherrae]

@P C The scriptures provide us with very vivid instructions and details about applying the armour of God (Ephesians 6) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 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. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The spiritual sword we use against Satan is the word of God. When Jesus was tempted by the devil in the wilderness the Lord Christ did not argue with the enemy, he quoted passages of scripture and the devil had no answer. (Malachi 2:6) teaches us that God's word is actually law, God being sovereign he (Jehovah) governs his word as it's his law. Remember the scripture in (Isaiah 55:11) "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it". So to contextualise with Ephesians 6: "17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit" Notice as soon as the sword of the spirit is revealed to be the word of God, the very next instruction is to pray. So we are able to destroy Satan's devices that are conceived against our minds, souls and bodies by using / announcing/ proclaiming the word of God in prayer. So that requires us both to know the word of God and to speak it into the open by faith.

[@tracielittle]

@P C Yes the Bible does state many scriptures that provide us as Believers with protection against Satans Wicked Devices. And I wouldn't speak it if I didn't live it I and my family were plagued with Generational Curses my Grandmother was in to Witchcraft very heavily my Grandfather was a 33 degree Mason. And my cousins had multiple gang affiliation I suffered Chronic sickness terrible dreams and sleeping paralysis as a child and a teen. Finally after years of struggling through these Demonic afflictions I got married and had two children and my youngest started seeing supernatural entities in his Grandfather's home. At that point I had enough so I started attending church with my family and we had Spiritual Warfare meetings against all the ungodliness in my life. And it worked Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is so faithful He put a end to all the Wickedness and healed our family and home. So I never take for granted what Satan represents and as I stated before I always pray stedfast against his Warfare. 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 Ephesians 6/12 ✝️ God Bless ✝️ 💖 🔥🙏🏼

They were laughing it off because they know it's true. My family is FULL of people like that. My mother and ALL of her sisters are like that some of them go to church, and some of them don't. But they ALL are bound by Jezebel. My mother is talking to someone on the phone and exaggerating about a situation and someone as we speak. Trust me it's straight Jezebel though, and I'm absolutely NOT kidding. The Holy Spirit allowed me to know about the traits of that spirit, and they have it attached to them. I have conversed with them about it, but of course the pride, arrogance, and ego of that spirit keep them in denial. But I'm not letting it consume me, or letting it get to me in Jesus name. I'm staying on assignment from the LORD and focused in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The name above ALL names. AMEN. Y'all keep it pushing in the Lord in JESUS name. AMEN.

Oh the enemy will flee will it? Okay, so the enemy spirit that is causing me to be addicted to drugs, I can just call on Jesus and he will flee right? Yeah no, Im a believer and i love Jesus and I can call on Him and He does show up, but does that mean the stronghold goes away? Does that mean my desire for the substance leaves too? Does that mean the consequences for my addiction and how its riddled my mind and body, those things will just flee upon calling on Jesus right? The reality is that, you can call on Jesus, but if you are still addicted, if you are still afflicted, if your body overrides your spirit, then simply calling on Jesus isn't enough. Faith without works is dead. It takes more than calling on Jesus to kick an addiction. It takes commitment, consistency and endurance. I know Jesus is always with me, but If God did everything for me, then we wouldnt' be here talking about the affliction of addiction in a Christian man. I love the sentiment, but lifes problems arent always solved by saying a man's name.

The worst thing someone said to me, i understood it. It means i am worse. Otherwise i wouldn't have understood. The self wants to feel itself. To trust itself. To know itself. To want itself. It can't truly think outside itself. The self is not the true soul. Knowing self is trusting in self. It is futile. Only the truth can truly trust in truth. The only thing that happens in self is temptation. The truth cannot tempt nor can be tempted. So temptation is a lie. The self is an endless lie. The only truth about self is that if we begin listening to it, it is an endless lie. That's all.

[@jeffgray6291]

The demons can see in the spirit realm: the demons knows who is a believer and who is not. I do not believe that a believer can be demonized/ indwelled by demonic spirits. However; I do believe that a believe can be influenced by demonic spirits by listening to the voice of the demonic spirits and being convinced that it is God speaking to them. Darkness cannot dwell where GOD is. If the modern deliverance ministry says that a believe is demonized by being under the influence of an evil spirit but not indwelled then yes I believe that a believer needs to be delivered from the stronghold of the power of influence of a demon. Never indwelled, and the Scripture references they are using appear to me to be in error.

Judas sat next to Jesus having supper with Him, fellowshipped with Him, walked with Him, ministered with Him, greeted Him with a kiss. Jesus said, referring to Judas "one of you is a devil".

When Paul said not one is righteous, None. This is before you came to God through faith in Jesus Christ. But after you came to faith in Jesus Christ, you have been made righteous with God through faith in Him. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. II Corinthians 5:21 NKJV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. II Corinthians 5:17 NKJV For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8‭-‬9 NKJV Shalom 💖🙏💞💯 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

It is disturbing to me when preachers call people "Christians," before Jesus' crucifixion, death burial and resurrection, one has to be born again to be a Christian and the Holy Spirit indwelling in them.

Noticed attached to him but not dwell in him there is the truth it couldn't be in him but allowed to be attached! Mary Madeleine had 7 unclean spirits driven out of her when she had believed in Jesus Christ, he drove them out! Drove out others too! When he died on the Cross and rose again then people that believed in him received the Holy Spirit and demons would have to leave at the moment Holy Spirit dwelled within the born again Christian! No other evidence in the Bible of a true Christian that was demon possessed!

[@jimyost2585]

Derek Prince didn't deal with the religious spirit driving him. Instead he allowed him to manifest through him in exchange for him making him popular. They had a symbiotic relationship kind of thing going on.

[@chadmeidl1140]

A born again Christian cannot have a devil! (demon is the incorrect term as a demon can be a good or evil spirit according to the ancient Greek term which had no negative connotations, and simply meant a "spirit" or "divine power". The King James Bible uses the correct term.) A saved person is sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption. (Ephesians 4:30) Nowhere in Paul's epistles to the Church (the Body of Christ) does he warn the believers to worry about being controlled or possessed by devils. Christians are the purchased possession of God (Ephesians 1:12-14). The gift of the Holy Spirit is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption. (the adoption of sons, the redemption of the body) Why would God seal the believer with the Holy Spirit and also with a devil? He would not. Paul warns the believer about the sins of the flesh, NEVER about being devil possessed. Prince is a heretic. The people who can be devil possessed are those who have never been saved by believing the gospel declared by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4. The Holy Spirit does not redeem the flesh (Romans 7) or control the flesh as Paul states that he keeps his BODY under subjection. (1 Cor. 9:27). Nowhere in scripture is the Holy Spirit and an unclean spirit/devil on or in an individual at the same time. 1 Samuel 16:13-14 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. 14But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. 1 Samuel 16:23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. Find a reference to a demon/devil in the following scripture. You cannot. Sin is the result of your flesh, which is not redeemed until the adoption of sons which occurs at the rapture. (Ephesians 1:5, Romans 8:23, 1 Corinthians 15:50-54) For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Blaming your sins on a "demon" if you are saved is a cop-out. Your flesh is to blame. The laughter at the end is frightening. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Tim. 1:7

I am willing to die right now for him. I believe I am saved not by intellect. But by faith. Faith in the one and only son of God who gave himself for me while I was yet his enemy. He shed his blood so I could be saved. He won’t turn me away. I know I cannot turn from my sin fully unless it were the Spirit of God helping and living the Christian life through me. I abide in a Christ as John 15 says. And I am bearing fruit praise the Lord. I’m not saying scripture is contradicting itself. But the verse you are saying needs to be fully understood by the Spirit and not just read and said. Everything in the word of God needs to be understood by the Spirit or people will be misled.

@@oursavior9339 Nowhere in Paul's epistles to the Church does he say Christians have authority over devils (these gifts would cease in time: 1 Cor. 13-8) , nor does he state any way to "exorcize" them. The first step is to understand that you are a sinner. The second is to make sure you are saved by believing in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for your sins and that ALONE. (1 Cor. 15:1-4). Claiming to be ready to lay down your life for Christ accomplishes nothing, *as this is what He did for us!* Peter denied the Lord (Luke 22:56-60). You say "I know I cannot turn from my sin fully". No Christian can turn from all his sin. Paul states this in Romans Ch. 7. 1 John 1 8 *If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.* 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Salvation is NOT of works, and one is NOT kept saved by works. ROMANS 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. GALATIANS 3 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 *Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?* 4 *Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.* The fruits of the spirit are not works in Galatians 5:22. These are: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance... How can a Christian have joy, peace, or faith if they believe God would allow a devil to torment His children? The Holy Spirit does not MAKE you live godly. You have free will. Paul said concerning the flesh: 1 Cor. 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. The evidence of a saved man is that he trusts Jesus Christs obedience not his own. (Romans 5:19, Philippians 3:9) He believes salvation is a FREE GIFT (Ephesians 2:8, Romans 5:15-17) He believes it is not by works but by faith. ( Galatians 2:16) He has the fruits of the spirit: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance...not the "fruit" of turning from sins. (Galatians 5:22) He believes it is by the blood of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:20-28) He has trusted the gospel as declared by Paul is 1 Cor. 15:1-4 If a man trusts one work, a turning away from sin, or his own righteousness he remains lost. Paul lays out the doctrine in his epistles for the body of Christ. I know that I am saved because I believed 14 years ago in the gospel and Jesus Christs' work, obedience, and sacrifice covers all my sin without exception. I did NOTHING to merit it except believe that Christ earned it for me. I was NOT saved by quitting fornication, or drinking, or any other sin. An atheist can do these things.

I came to Jesus because of a demonic attack that made me realise theres more to the natural world we live in. Until you have your eyes opened to the things that are supernatural I don’t think you’ll understand what I am telling you. You can quote scripture as much as you want, that’s cool and fine. But until you have visions of seeing demons, until you feel the presence of something incredibly filthy around you. Until you have seen some things that will make you scratch your head I need you to understand what this man is saying is true. You need to understand the suffering people go through to understand this. I understand what you are saying about not being taken over by a demon. I know that’s true. I know I am saved by grace, I know that Jesus is the Son of God. It’s only the cross that saves me, not my own works. The Holy Spirit helps me to live the Christian life. I am trying day by day to give him every part of my life. I am trying to be faithful in the little to be faithful in the much.

I am a child of God and only God knows that I am his and belong to him, for he took me out from the kingdom of darkness and placed me into the kingdom of light. You must be open minded. Because you will hurt others. Love them. Hear what they have to say. You know if something doesn’t add up because of the Spirit of Discernment. I believe some come to Jesus through Visions because the bible support that. Read Joel 2:28. I love you brother. And it does not matter your denomination as long as Christ is the Center of your life. As long as you know you are a sinner and cannot save yourself and that you need a savior. That Jesus Christ is almighty God in the flesh and dwelt among us and was rejected by his own people and crucified and rose again for the proclamation forgiveness of sins through his name and his name alone. Talk to our Father and ask him to confirm what I am saying to you is true or not for I know not to lead others astray because I will suffer the consequences of my actions and will be held accountable by God in the Judgment seat of Christ. God Bless you brother and may the Lord shine his face upon you! HALLELUJAH! Also listen to Adrian Roger’s he’s baptist. Praise the Lord for that man of God!

If, by demons, you mean "PEOPLE" than yes, they seriously need to be delt with at times.

Demons tend to reside in people. Ephesians 6:12

@@inconnu4961 My point exactly. 😉

Demons are not people.

@@renee7477 You must be very young. Live long enough and your opinion will change. In all seriousness though, you are right, but un-saved people are perfect homes for some very bad demons. Their main objective is tormenting and trying to destroy or kill those who belong to God. Rev_12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
