DEMONS (PART II)
Who can be
attacked by demons? Anyone who’s entire character has not come under
control of the Holy Spirit. This is why we are to put on the whole Armor of
God. Without the whole armor, a demon or evil spirit can attach itself to
parts of our personality. Even Christians are subject to demonic
attack.
Throughout the
Bible…. men, women, children, and even animals where said to have
demons. Demons have power and the powers can vary. From providing
unbelievable strength to seeing future events, the Bible shows us how those
that have demons are able to do things normal people are not. Throughout
the Bible it is shown how demons have physical effects on those that have
demons. From palsy and epilepsy to deaf, dumb, and lunacy, demons can
affect your physical body as well as your mental. Examples of how they
affect a person’s physical body are evident throughout the Bible. The
demons vary and so the affects they can have on you physically also vary.
There are many different types of demons. Some provide power, some harm you
physically, some are strong and fierce, some are weak and cowering, some
come in packs, some try to hide, while others openly declare
themselves.
So by
now…..hopefully you are reading the Bible and not just taking my
word for this……but by now you should know more about demons
than you did. For those that already knew most of this, GREAT. Now ask
yourself how often you hear the church discuss demons? How often do you
hear the pastor talk of casting out demons? This is something the Jesus did
all the time along with healing the sick and preaching the Word. This is
something that Jesus commissioned. So why does this Biblical teaching get
downplayed? Because the next part terrifies many.
How do demons get in?
How do demons find away to attack us? How do they
get in? How do they pick who to attack? How do they attack children as well
as adults? Why are these questions so terrifying? Because the answer will
show that a lot of times we are responsible for the demons that attack and
attach themselves to our children. Who wants to face that reality? The
reality that our choices, how we move about this Earth, who we choose to be
and choose to serve, open up children to demonic attacks.
This is where many will tune out and not
want to hear the truth.
The
Devil/Satan chooses the weakest moments and attacks us where we are most
vulnerable. So it is with demons. They attack at the weakest of moments and
attach themselves to the parts of our character or personality that are
weak or that are not good. What is weaker that a baby? What is easier to
attach to than a personality that hasn’t developed yet. The most
vulnerable parts of us is sometimes our children. Who is responsible for
protecting a child against all harm? We are. When we have a child we are
responsible for more than just feeding it, clothing it, sheltering it,
loving it, and protecting it physically. What about the other influences?
We are also responsible for the spiritual well being of a child. Many
people don’t want to face that responsibility. Do you know what a
generational curse is? Do you understand the statement that “the sins
of the father are visited on the son”? Do you realize that the demons
you may be dealing with can and will most likely will attack your children?
This is why people are scared of knowing the truth about things like
demons. When you find out the truth, you find out that you have more
responsibility than you may have realized. The truth makes you examine your
life and the direct affect it may have on your children. The truth makes
you stand up and face your shortcomings as they pertain to protecting your
children from demons or makes you cower in fear. Your choice. So in order
to protect you children and yourselves from demonic attack, you have to get
knowledge on demons. Not just from this blog but through research, reading,
and even prayer. Demons get in through more than just our children. I just
wanted to highlight an area that many do not consider.
Here are some other ways demons get in or attach
themselves to our character and personalities:
Prenatal influences - drugs, alcohol,
sinful sex, dealings with the supernatural
Emotional shock or sustained emotional
pressure - death in the family or a tragic event
sinful acts or habits - a sinful act may
open you up to demonic attack but a sinful lifestyle is a flashing VACANCY
sign
Generational curse - a curse of punishment that will be visited on
your children, their children, their children and their children. Usually
but not limited to 4 generations. Let me paint a picture on this one. 2
parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, 16 great-great-grandparents
which total 30 people who could be a channel through whom we may have been
exposed to demonic influence.
Pressures in early childhood - a nasty divorce is
a good example or this. Two adults in a nasty conflict can subject a child
demonic attack. Custody battles, forced hatred of one parent, pitting a
child against a parent, etc.
Laying on of hands - if the person that is laying
on hands is under demonic influence those demons can gain access to the
other person. Also if a person that is laying hands on a person under
demonic influence and is weak and fighting demons
themselves…….the demon may find them to be a better host and
enter them.
The occult, witchcraft, false religions - ouija boards, greek
mythology, signs and symbols of devil worship, statues of other gods, tarot
cards, even those practices that offer a secret knowledge
Those are some of the ways demons get in and how
they attack us at weak points or in weak areas.
There are many things that we take for granted that may allow us to
fall under demonic attack. There are many things that subject children to
demonic attacks. That is why the power of prayer is underrated. The prayers
of the saints may not have kept some from committing sin but may have kept
demons from attaching themselves to the sinner. The prayers of others may
be what keeps a persons heart from being heartened. Yet prayer will not
keep a person from judgment. Prayer and blessings over a child, teaching
them the Word, and raising them up proper, and instilling the love of God
in them early is a way to protect them from demonic attacks. You also have
to be able to acknowledge when demons are attacking or have attached
themselves to a child’s character or personality. We have a greater
responsibility to our children than most of us realize.
Feel free to ask questions about or give input
concerning who can be attacked by demons and how demons get in. If you want
or need scripture to reference, just let me know.
I do not
condone abusive relationships, bullying, or uncalled for azz
whoopings. However, there are times when people do things
that call for an azz whooping reguardless of gender.
Agree or Disagree?
What are some things
that people do that they deserve an azz whooping reguardless of
gender?
What are some things that a person
could do to you to make you put your hands on them no matter what sex they
are?
Not kill them....just reach out
and touch them!!!!!!!!
I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT I SUPPORT TYLER
PERRY PLAYS AND MOVIES BUT I MADE SIMILIAR COMMENTS ABOUT "HOUSE OF PAIN"
AND "MEET THE BROWNS"
COONERY AND BAFOONERY? YES AND NO DEPENDING ON
WHAT THE SHOW IS SUPPOSE TO BE. IF THOSE SHOWS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE FAMILY
SHOWS, I SAY YES, BAFOONERY! NOW IF THE SHOWS ARE JUST COMEDY, NO HARM. NO
MORE HARM THAN ANY OTHER COMEDY OR EVEN RAP MUSIC. NOW IF HOUSE OF PAIN AND
MEET THE BROWNS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE FAMILY SHOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. I KNOW
PEOPLE WILL SAY THAT SOME FAMILIES ARE LIKE THE FAMILIES ON THOSE SHOWS.
OK, BUT HAVING A SHOW THAT TEACHES CORRECTIVE ACTION, MORALES, AND LESSONS
IS DIFFERENT THAN A SHOW THAT MAKES FUN OF OR IS JUST FOR
LAUGHS.
CLOWING IS APART OF FAMILY LIFE. MOST OF
US GET THAT. THE COSBY SHOW WAS A FAMILY SHOW THAT HAPPEN TO BE FUNNY. IT
MAY NOT HAVE REPRESENTED ALL FAMILIES BUT IT WAS NOT BAFOONERY. GOOD TIMES
WAS A FAMILY SHOW THAT WAS FUNNY AT TIMES BUT IT WAS NOT BAFOONERY. MARRIED
WITH CHILDREN WAS A COMEDY THAT USED A FAMILY. IT USED DUMB IGNORANT PEOPLE
TO DO DUMB IGNORANT STUFF. IT TOOK THOSE SITUATIONS AND GOT PEOPLE LAUGHING
AT THE WORST PARTS OF THE BUNDY FAMILY BEHAVIOR. THERE ARE SHOWS THAT USE A
FAMILY SETTING FOR (MOSTLY) COMEDY. BAFOONERY CATEGORY! THERE ARE SHOWS
THAT SHOW FAMILY LIFE, TEACH MORALES, AND LESSONS THAT HAPPEN TO BE FUNNY.
SO FOR ME IT
DEPENDS ON WHAT THE TYLER PERRY SHOWS ARE TRYING TO BE!!!!!
FUNNY HOW TWO GOOD FAMILY SHOWS DIDNT GET THE
SUPPORT OR RECOGNITION THAT SHOWS WITH OVER THE TOP CLOWNING OR BAFOONERY
GET.
THE
BERNIE MAC SHOW AND EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS!
MAYBE SPIKE LEE KNOWS THAT SOCIETY
PREFERS TO SEE A CERTAIN REPRESENTATION OF "THE BLACK FAMILY"
WHAT DO
YALL THINK?
WHAT WOULD YOU
PREFER TO HAVE:
A BABY MAMA/ BABY DADDY THAT IS WEALTHY AND KICKS
IN THE FUNDS THAT HELP YOU RAISE YOUR CHILD BY
YOURSELF!!
OR
A BABY MAMA/ BABY DADDY THAT IS NOT WELL
OFF AND HELPS AS MUCH AS HE OR SHE CAN BUT IS
ACTIVE IN THEIR CHILDS LIFE.
This blog
has been a long time coming. In this blog we will discuss what demons are,
the terminology used in the Word, how words are misused or lost in
translation, and types of demons. Please feel free to share your thoughts
on demons and wether or not you believe demons exist!
Terminology- Evil spirit beings who are
used often in Satan's warfare against humanity. Two words are
translated that represent demons but are often translated or used
incorrectly. Daimon and Daimonion! These two words are normally translated
to the same English word: Demon. However, the original King James Version
translated daimonion as Devil. The actual word for Devil would be Diabolos.
So there is one Devil and many demons. The words should not be confused but
this happens with translations. Daimon is the primary and diamonion is a
derivative. The derivative Diamonion occurs about 60 times in the gospels,
Acts, and Revelations. Daimon is used once in Matthew 8:31 where it is
mistranslated to devils. Again the correct translation for devils would be
diabolos. Let's not get caught up in the word play. Just know that
Demons and the Devil are separate intities. One Devil/Satan! Many demons.
Other terminology used to explain or respresent demons are unclean spirits
and evil spirits. Another word that is mistranslated that deals directly
with demons is the verb diamonizo with translates to English as demonize.
It means "to subject to demonic influence" or "to be demonized." But it is
mistranslated to "to be possessed of or with a devil or devils." This is
incorrect because the word for devil is diabolos. Why is that such a big
deal? It is different to say you are subject to demonic influence than to
say you are possessed by a demon or to even say you are possessed by the
Devil. The Anti-Christ will be indwelt by The Devil/Satan. Judas may have
been possessed for a period of time by Satan but how many people could
actually say that Satan himself entered them and possessed them. Many will
be and are possessed by demons. Even more, are subject to demonic
influence. We constantly are under attack from demonic influence. See the
difference and the importance of establishing the true meaning of demons
and demonize.
What are demons?
The Bible does not give us enough
information to say for certain what the origin is of demons. Some believe
they are some of the angels that fell with Satan. However the Bible never
says this nor does it ever give light to a demon ever being an Angel. It
never mentions a demon being in Heaven. So what does the Word say about
demons? Demons are disembodied spirit beings that show an intense craving
to occupy physical bodies. They seem to prefer human beings but are willing
to enter the body of an animal. Even without bodies they have all the
normal marks of personality. WILL, EMOTION, INTELLECT, SELF-AWARENESS, and
ABILITY TO SPEAK are some personality traits that the Word shows demons as
having. Below is scripture that directly attests to this.
WILL - Matthew 12:44
EMOTION - James 2:19
INTELLECT - Mark 1:24
SELF-AWARENESS - Mark 5:9
ABILITY TO
SPEAK - Acts
At this time I was going to list scripture attesting to the
different types/forms of demons. There are so many and the Word does not
mention all of them. So I would ask for those that are knowledgeful of the
Word to share at this time. I have a list but I would like for others to be
involved in this blog as well.
There is so much more on demons, so I have two
more parts to this subject. The last part of this subject is crucial. What
did Jesus do?
What did Jesus do? - Jesus did three things all the time. He did not
do them separately. Meaning Jesus did not do one of the three without doing
the others. When concerning the multitudes, Jesus taught the
Word(preached), Jesus healed the sick, and Jesus cast out demons. That is
the full ministry of Jesus Christ. Who before Jesus cast out demons? Jesus
did these three things as a whole. When Jesus commissioned the first 12
apostles he not only told them to do as he had done but gave them explicit
instructions on how to use the authority. "And as you go, preach,
saying"The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, cleanse the
lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons" (Matthew 10:7-8) Many preachers
and pastors make a big fuss about speaking in tongues but few make that
same fuss about casting out demons......yet the Word says "In My name they
will cast out demons;they will speak with new tongues" (Mark 16:17) Now
some will say that preachers/pastors are the only ones that should be
healing the sick and casting out demons so why arent they.......well not
just preachers and pastors. Not just the original desciples or the 70 that
were sent to prepare the way before him.
(Matthew 28:19-20) "Go therefore and
make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things
that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of
the age"
There is much more to come on this topic all the way to some very
important things for everyday use.
Please share your input and feel free to ask
questions!

I am
somewhat torn on this issue. How many people know the history of Halloween?
How it originated, what it celebrates, and who gets the glory of the
celebration…….
Is God anywhere in
Halloween?
We allow our children in our society to
participate in this event but why? Really….why? I know it seems so
harmless on some levels and it is so commercialized but does that make it
ok? Dressing up as ghouls, goblins, demons, and promoting fear…..is
that good?
I know that children getting candy is not a bad
thing. I know that costume dressing is harmless based on the selection of
the costume. I know that going to a carnival and enjoying the caramel
apples, bobbing for apples, cake walks, and candy, is not
bad.
However is Halloween ok if you only participate
in the ok parts of it or the parts that seem harmless? Or is it wrong all
together to participate in something that doesn’t praise, worship, or
have God anywhere in it?
This is not to judge anyone. I am
weighing this topic in my head. What are your thoughts on Halloween? What
do you know about it? Do you participate? Why? I would love to get a lot of
different views and perspectives on the subject.

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THIS STORY?
WHAT YALL THINK ABOUT
THIS?
There was a guy trying to date this woman and she
gave him the number and said they would get to know each other. They made
plans to go out and when the time came she didn’t answer the phone. A
few days passed and when the guy finally talk to her she explained that she
didn’t lie….she just changed her mind. So they went out a few
times and one night she was suppose to spend the night but right after they
started getting hot and heavy she got up to leave. 1 a.m. and she heads for
the door. He told her that she lied but she corrected him and explained
that she changed her mind. The guy would get upset but because he liked her
so much he allowed this to continue for a few months. At times she would go
against what she had said she would do but would always dismiss the thought
that she lied by explaining that she changed her mind.
After
awhile she had grown fond of the man and realized he was a good dude. Well,
the night that they were suppose to make love, she was more than ready. He
had prepared the most romantic scene. Rose pedals, whine, candles, soft
music, etc. She was overwhelmed. She knew she was wrong in how she had
acted and decided to treat him a little. She started giving him head. The
more he got into it the more she got into it. She raised up and said
remember not to cum in my mouth. He moaned ok. She got serious with it.
Next thing you know he busted right in her mouth. She snatched it out and
he skeeted some in her face and in her hair. She was pissed. She called him
a lying so and so. He got up and wiped himself off and started putting on
his clothes. She questioned where the hell he was going. She was ranting
about him saying he would never nut in a woman’s mouth that
didn’t want him to. That he had said several times he would not nut
in her hair or in her face. He explained that he didn’t
lie….he just changed his mind. She went off saying that they were
suppose to make love all night and he was leaving so he lied about that. He
explained that he changed his mind. He left saying that if he changed his
mind about being with her he would let her know…..unless he changed
his mind about letting her know.
This is a two fold blog, but it will be good.
Take the time to give your input or your thoughts please.
First part
is a scenario with questions: You meet a person and date them. They tell
you everything about themselves and they tell the truth. They confess to
you that they do not know who there father is. Or both parents. (Maybe they
were adopted, father was a rolling stone, or they were conceived by
technological assistance) Whatever the case, they admit that they do
honestly know who one or both of their parents are. So you and this person
fall in love and are together for a number of years. One day they decide to
research and find out who their parents are. After doing the research and
paying for services, they find out that yall are related. The person you
have been with turns out to be your sibling, cousin, or some other BLOOD
relative. What do you do? What factors do you consider? What if you have
had children?
Part two: Many of you are probably
grossed out or think that this could never happen to you. I beg to differ.
I think it happens more than we care to admit. Why? Check this out. When a
man donates sperm, he does so anonymously right? When people get married,
all places do not require a blood test. People lay down and sleep with each
other with out knowing names let alone family history. We used to have to
give a rundown of who our people were, when we went to date a person. Now
with so much technology and men being able to plant seeds all
over……how would you know? Ever wonder why retardation rates
boom? Nowadays a man could sleep with his daughter and not even know it. He
gets her mom pregnant and dips town with out knowing. She doesn’t
know who he really is just a name. He is 40. His daughter is 20. The at a
club in a state neither of them grew up. They hook up. Don’t think it
could happen to you huh? Think again. Our society has no accountability for
sex. Top that off with the lies and secrets families keep. What happens if
you were adopted and never knew and end up dating someone that you had no
clue was your blood relative? It happens more than we care to
know.
I suggest getting a blood test before marriage at
least. I also recommend trying to find out about a person’s family
background before laying down.
If I go an donate my sperm, and 10
women get my sperm and have babies, aren’t those babies siblings
whether they know it or not? Something to think about.

ZURICH, Switzerland (CNN) -- Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar
and Martin Scorsese have "demanded the immediate release" of fellow
filmmaker Roman Polanski, who was arrested in Switzerland on a U.S. arrest
warrant related to a 1977 child sex charge.
A
supporter displays a "free Polanski" tag on his shirt during the Zurich
Film Festival.
They were
among 138 people in the film industry who signed a petition against the
arrest.
Polanski was on the way to the Zurich Film Festival when
Swiss police detained him in response to the American warrant.
The
filmmaker pleaded guilty in 1977 to having unlawful sexual intercourse with
a minor but fled before he could be sentenced. He settled in France, where
he holds citizenship. Investigators in the United States say Polanski, then
43, drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl.
The filmmakers objected
to his being arrested en route to the film festival, which held a tribute
to him this year.
"It seems inadmissible to them that an
international cultural event, paying homage to one of the greatest
contemporary filmmakers, is used by the police to apprehend him," said the
petition, backed by France's Societe des Auteurs et Compositeurs
Dramatiques (Society of Dramatic Authors and Composers).
"The
arrest of Roman Polanski in a neutral country, where he assumed he could
travel without hindrance ... opens the way for actions of which no one can
know the effects," said the signatories, who also included actresses Monica
Bellucci and Tilda Swinton and directors David
Lynch, Jonathan Demme, John Landis, Alejandro Gonzalez
Inarritu and Wim Wenders.
In the United States, powerhouse movie producer Harvey
Weinstein is trying to recruit more supporters for Polanksi.
"We
are calling every filmmaker we can to help fix this terrible situation,"
his company told CNN in a statement.
Polanski has filed an appeal
against his extradition to the United States, Swiss authorities said. They
added that they would act on the case within weeks.
Polanski won an
Academy Award for Best Director in 2003 for "The Pianist." He was nominated
for a Best Director Oscar for "Tess" and "Chinatown," and Best Writing for
"Rosemary's Baby," which he also directed.
See examples of Polanski's work
»
On Monday, French Foreign Minister Bernard
Kouchner said that he hoped authorities would respect Polanski's
rights "and that the affair [will] come to a favorable resolution," the
ministry said in a statement.
The French culture and communications
minister, Frederic Mitterrand, said he "learned with astonishment" of
Polanski's arrest and expressed solidarity with Polanski's
family.
Polanski, 76, was arrested Saturday on his arrival at
Zurich's airport.
A provisional arrest warrant had been issued
last week out of Los Angeles, California, after authorities learned that he
was going to be in Switzerland, Sandi Gibbons, spokeswoman for the Los
Angeles County district attorney's office, said Sunday.
In a
written statement, Polanski's California counsel said Monday that "an issue related to the
Swiss extradition matter is presently being litigated before the California
Court of Appeal. We had hoped that this would be determinative of this
case."
"We were unaware of any extradition being sought, and
separate counsel will be retained for those proceedings."
The
lawyers -- Douglas Dalton, Chad Hummel and Bart Dalton -- said prior deputy
district attorneys had told them that no efforts were being made to
extradite Polanski, who "owned a home in Switzerland for many years and
worked throughout Europe during that time."
There have been
repeated attempts to settle the case over the years, but the sticking point
has always been Polanski's refusal to return to the United States to
attend hearings. Prosecutors have consistently argued that it would be a
miscarriage of justice to allow a man who "drugged and raped a 13-year-old
child" to go free.
The Swiss Justice Ministry said Polanski was "in
provisional detention." But whether he can be extradited to the United
States "can be established only after the extradition process judicially
has been finalized," ministry spokesman Guido Balmer said in an e-mail.
"It is possible to appeal at the federal penal court of justice against
an arrest warrant in view to extradition as well as against an extradition
decision," Balmer wrote. "Their decisions can be taken further to the
federal court of justice."
Gibbons said the extradition process
will be determined in Switzerland but said authorities are ready to move
forward with Polanski's sentencing, depending on what happens in Zurich.
Polanski was accused of plying the teenage girl with champagne and a
sliver of a Quaalude tablet and performing various sex acts, including
intercourse, with her during a photo shoot at actor Jack Nicholson's
house.
Nicholson was not at home.
Polanski's lawyers
tried this year to have the charges thrown out, but a judge in Los Angeles
rejected the request. However, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Peter
Espinoza left the door open to reconsider his ruling if Polanski shows up
in court.
Espinoza also appeared to acknowledge problems with the
way the director's case was originally handled.
According to
court documents, Polanski, his lawyer and the prosecutor thought
they'd worked out a deal that would spare Polanski from prison and let
the young victim avoid a public trial.
But the original judge in
the case, who is now dead, first sent the director to maximum-security
prison for 42 days while he underwent psychological testing. Then, on the
eve of his sentencing, the judge told attorneys he was inclined to send
Polanski back to prison for another 48 days.
Polanski fled the
United States for France, where he was born.
In the February
hearing, Espinoza mentioned a documentary film, "Roman Polanski: Wanted and
Desired," that depicts backroom deals between prosecutors and a
media-obsessed judge who was worried his image would suffer if he
didn't send Polanski to prison. The documentary was first broadcast in
June 2008.
"It's hard to contest some of the behavior in the
documentary was misconduct," Espinoza said. But he declined to dismiss the
case.
Polanski's victim long ago came forward and made her
identity public, mainly saying she was disturbed by how the criminal case
had been handled.
Samantha Geimer, now 45 and a married mother of
three, sued Polanski and received an undisclosed settlement. She is among
those calling for the case to be tossed out.

In court papers filed in January, she said, "I am no longer a
13-year-old child. I have dealt with the difficulties of being a victim,
have surmounted and surpassed them with one exception.
"Every time this case is brought to the attention of the
court, great focus is made of me, my family, my mother and others. That
attention is not pleasant to experience and is not worth maintaining over
