How Can We Tell When Someone is Demon Possessed?

In this short clip, Father Vince Lampert explains how, as an exorcist, he's trained to be skeptical of demon possession. This clip comes from a longer interview I did with him.

Anything you want to share?

[@ChrisGarcia.]

@@Darksaga28 I’ve personally have seen demons possess people. There was one time I was preaching the gospel in my church and when I mentioned the name of Jesus Christ a man all the way in the back row, Fell into a convulsion and a fit. I did not understand why he did that so I kept preaching and the more I ignored the man and focused on the gospel that I was preaching the more the man became violent began to scream and throw chairs around. There was about 350 people present and Immediately began to silently ask the Holy Spirit what should I do when the Spirit of God gave me a scripture I spoke out the scripture and the atmosphere of the church became electric. The presence and power of God was very tangible at that moment and suddenly I felt compelled to go to the man on the ground I asked him what his name was and he told me that his name was Satan and that he wanted to destroy the man’s life. I asked the church if they can silently pray to themselves and worship God and as they began to worship God,The presence of God got stronger and stronger so much so that I spoke to the demon I told him to leave in the name of Jesus Christ and immediately two or three demons left him. He began to open his mouth roll his eyes violently tremble and within one minute and 30 seconds because of the presence of God and the anointing of the spirit that demon immediately left the man. I later found out he was involved in the occult and that Sunday he gave his life to Jesus Christ. That’s one testimony I have a few others like this but it is real some people don’t understand and think this stuff is fake and it really is real. God is real demons are real and Jesus Christ is greater.

@@Sciences0311 Wrong. I was possessed by a demon for years, before I was an Atheist. During my Atheist (when I didn't believe in demons) stint. After again, when I turned back to belief in The Creator. During my conversion back to belief was when the demon was taken out of me. I felt its affects on my body and the pressure it created on my person. After a while, I felt the demon get pulled out of me and my body didn't feel the pressure anymore. This wasn't by human hands either. You could go around believing what you want, but to tout it as absolute truth would be a folly, a mistake on your part. You could call me a liar, because as an Atheist I know says "ALL BELIVERS ARE LIERS." Or you could see what the world really is. Your choice.

6:40 Of these four indications of demon possession, the first three are also attributed to the Holy Spirit - Speaking and understanding languages unknown to the individual. This is also attributed to the Holy Spirit, in particular during the first Pentecost as described in Acts. - Superhuman strength. This is also attributed to God in the story of Samson. - Elevated perception or knowledge. This is also recognized in discernment, prophecy and visions/dreams, as described all over the Bible. - Aversion from the holy (blessed water, crosses, or bibles). This is the only clear indication I can tell, but without the former three can also be a very hurt or bitter atheist.

[@albertbenny431]

Isn't it attributed to spirits as a whole? The first three I mean

[@duckdialectics8810]

But that is the catch with whatever comes from God, it is always clearly divine, clearly bound to a public purpose, clearly derived from prayer, and so on. If you have a random dude that has no active spiritual life speaking showing these signs, then it is not from God. No prophet in the Bible is ever unsure about what is happening to them, they are never portrayed as confused and their gifts as detrimental to themselves and their community.

What is the difference between possessing and strong hold. It is possible to have a spirit attached to you, but not possessing someone? I think I use to have a spirit attached to me. I have had a lot of people die in my life, like 20+ close people. Quite a few were murdered, some were brutal. I also have had bad luck with life in general. Foster home, breaking my neck, a court error cost me $230 a week of a $9 an hour job, while getting 3 flat tires, and having to walk. I had to work 3 jobs at 92 to 100 hours a week. It landed me in the hospital. The courts were flagging my taxes, and threatening to arrest me, and suspend my license. Then my ex tried to take me for more child support. All while I was trying to help a sister leave an abusive ex, and dealing with a friend that was murdered. She was found buried under her ex boyfriends shed. Plus trying to take care of myself from where I broke my neck. Life only got better after I got married. It was like the spirit didn't like her. I went from being homless and living in a camper in my dads yard, to a house and 2 cars. What do I need to do, to help keep spirits away, if that was the cause of a painful past? I want to cover all possibilities.

Isn't it true that anyone who believes that the practice of torturing a prisoner to get information is a useful thing to do must be demon possessed?

I listened to all this in catching up with him after 2 years apart (I started a family). He is a Catholic Palestinian born and raised in the mid-east. Lucky I knew best enough not to ask any details as, as Father Vincent explains, according to 19th century French writer Chsrles Baudelaire said "The finest trick of the devil is to convince you that he does not exist."

Furthermore, I personally also think Job 41 starts speaking of another being in verse 12. From this point on, the description sounds much more like a dragon. I have always thought of these three as a sort of anti-holy trinity in the demonic realm, -the three most powerful demons. 1.) Satan -the Dragon, as an evil imposter of God the Father (also likely manifested himself as Zeus in Greece) 2.) Leviathan -The Beast of the Sea, as an evil imposter of God the Son (also likely manifested himself as Poseidon in Greece) 3.) Behemoth -The Beast of the Earth, as an evil imposter of the Holy Spirit (also likely manifested himself as Hades in Greece).

More harm has been done to the name and cause of Christ because of the tyranny of the various Catholic popes, than all proponents of Sola Scriptura combined. Tyranny doesn't logically flow from a papacy, but it tends toward it more than Sola Scriptura to Bibleolatry. If you're talking about Sevetus, Calvin didn't kill him. He was executed by the government of Geneva on account of heresy. A verdict that virtually all Christian nations in Europe agreed to, including Catholic ones. As a Calvinistic Baptist, I believe in the freedom of religion, and therefore think Servetus shouldn't have been executed, but the [Roman] Catholic Church of the 16th century agreed with the execution of Servetus.

@@BibleLosophR I agree there has been a history of really bad popes in the past. That’s nothing new though. Sinners are in every space. The evangelical world isn’t any better in this area honestly. But yes biblelotry is most certainly a real thing because of sola scriptura. I see the fruit of character of it at a nondenominational church I’m still a member at. Church of Christ to be exact. And by the way they’re good people with good intentions but the sola scriptura philosophy is just not good.

[@estuchedepeluche2212]

I have a question though, when people are possessed their bodies and minds are overtaken by a demon, right? And a priest that performs an exorcism doesn’t do it on his own power, but God does it, right? Why do we need a middle man? Wouldn’t it save a lot of time, money, pain, and shame for God to just intervene outright?

I will show love to those I love.” (Exodus 33:19) 16 So it doesn’t depend on what people want or what they do. It depends on God’s mercy. 17 In Scripture, God says to Pharaoh, “I had a special reason for making you king. I decided to use you to show my power. I wanted my name to become known everywhere on earth.” (Exodus 9:16) 18 So God does what he wants to do. He shows mercy to one person and makes another stubborn. 19 One of you will say to me, “Then why does God still blame us? Who can oppose what he wants to do?” 20 But you are a mere human being.

Grown men who believe in God and His power over demons, maybe that is what you wanted to say. And yes, God does exist. If you dont believe it, you will see Him in the end, but then it will be too late to repent or do anything to help change your fate, so be responsible on your actions and choices.

Which is more plausible; a serial killer claims insanity(and is truly possessed) or a PERSON with "mental illness" kills for pleasure...? "You ask me do I believe I'm the best. If I say I am, you'll say I'm boastful- if I say I'm not, you know I'm lying..." These were ostensibly the words of Bruce Lee. They are relevant here because some things are true no matter how you look at them. In the case of demonic possession; if you are a Christian you can't hold both views.
