You can't win the argument that Christians can't have demons with a man who has already cast them out of Christians.
Game over. The Devil loses. The captives go free!
@KarlGessler I had a deliverance performed on me after I became a believer in my early twenties, even after I was baptized. I concede that I was still struggling with habitual sin. I also attribute demonic oppression due to generational sin within my family due to some of my ancestors participating in idol worship (going to buddhist temples and praying to Buddha so that they could have children). One thing that come from my experience was that I delivered a heavily demonized person some twenty years later.
@thiscantberight Amen! That's a powerful testimony..
@KarlGessler The exorcism was the most painful experience I've ever had in my life. It felt like someone was disemboweling me with a knife. Three two-hour sessions to remove each one. It's my motivation to reach out to the least, the last, and the lost.
@KarlGessler Both. I'm sensitive to the Spirit. I could sense the prophetic pastor coming to my house. I've never forget the excruciating pain from the deliverance. It comes second to my experience of meeting Jesus not too long after my conversion. I asked to see his face, but He responded, "I won't show you my face, but I'll show you my heart." I wept for two hours straight. I felt like the whole world hated me. I remind myself of these experiences when I am discouraged about the things of this fallen world and motivate myself not to "grow weary of doing good."
@thiscantberight I'd be interested to hear more about your background. That's pretty intense!
@thiscantberight Was it physically or emotionally painful or both?
