^ topic question.
By that i mean in the sense - how do they tempt us to sin?
Do they place thoughts into our minds?
Do they place emotions to lead us astray?
What do they do and how do they do it?
God bless!

Re: What can demons do to a man?
They wait until your vunerable, when somthing happens that has a negative impact on your life they seed you mind with doubt.
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

Re: What can demons do to a man?
I think Danny’s response pretty well summed it up.
But to add on, I like to think of this topic as the demon on your left shoulder and the angel on your right. The demon tells you "there is no god", "nobody is watching", "c'mon you know you want to", and the fading voice on your right shoulder is telling you "he is real" "your better than this” “you’ll regret this later"

Re: What can demons do to a man?
they can posses you and torment you with vile and evil thoughts. immoral imaginations. and if that possession is strong they inflict pain in the body as well.
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.
I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.
Death by starvation is a terrible thing, Goodsir, continued Stanley.
And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night

If you are a Christian they cannot possess you, but they can torment...

Re: What can demons do to a man?
I can understand provoked, tormented, but if Christ indwells in us, if we are, in fact, possessed by Christ, I guess I've been taught that you will not be possessed. I can find the scripture to back it up, but that's what I thought.

Re: What can demons do to a man?
I agree with Zoe on this one. But, we need to realize not all who CLAIM to be Christian, are truly indwelt with the Holy Spirit.zoegirl wrote:I can understand provoked, tormented, but if Christ indwells in us, if we are, in fact, possessed by Christ, I guess I've been taught that you will not be possessed.

Re: What can demons do to a man?
I have never been possessed, but I have been harassed by forces of an unclean nature on many occasions. When I was very young it was almost a nightly affair. Sometimes it scared me so much to the point where many of my nighttime memories are hazy at best and I am unable to identify clearly between dream and reality. Every once in a while, especially lately, something will awaken a memory of something terrible I experienced when I was young that I'd forgotten (intentionally?), but I can never quite put my finger on the exact occurrence- just vague images and the fear that I remember feeling.
I do have one very clear and lucid memory from about a decade ago involving demonic forces that I can share if asked. It was something terrifying for me, but, in the end I am grateful for it in some ways. Christ delivered me from it and the memory really strengthens my faith and love for Him.

Not to detract from Rob but only here addressing Zoe and Rick’s comment:RickD wrote:I agree with Zoe on this one.

I think of Westboro church group – are they all possessed? Or Oppressed?? – some of them I think must be truly saved…

Re: What can demons do to a man?
They are posessed with hate and fear, i kinda feel a little physically ill whenever their name is mentioned. It is not up to us to judge whether they are saved or not but their actions are hardly Christ like, how could you truly love Christ and hate so much?B.
