The Meaning Of Demonic Possession
         A person is possessed by evil spirit when his physical, mental, intellectual or spiritual functioning of the person is affected, influenced or controlled by the evil spirit. A person is said to be possessed if one or all of the conditions below are true:
  1. The demon indwells (resides in) the person, whether the person knows it or not. In this case, the body is entirely controlled by the demon or by the mixed spirit of the person and that of the demon.

  2. The demon controls the person’s thoughts and emotions.

  3. The demon controls or influences the person’s ability to make decisions, and thereby controls the person’s actions.

  4. The demon surrounds the person with black clouds or demonic smokes.

  5. The control is partial or complete.

  6. The demon has placed contact object on or inside the person or has deposited evil potencies in him. Generally, evil potencies or black energy is worse than ordinary poison people know about, in terms of the severity, intensity, effect, depth and duration. One example of contact object or evil potencies is dream meal, which is very common with those who are not spiritually strong or protected. This is the case with so many girls, who appear to be normal, religious or good. Usually, the demonic possession is silent (dormant) until the girl gets married. Then, the demons feel that the girl’s husband is interfering or disturbing them. That is when the demons become manifest, violent or troublesome.

  7. The demon controls the person from outside.

  8. The person is wearing a dress or object belonging to another person, who is already possessed by demons. This is one reason why buying and wearing second hand dresses is not good, and should be avoided.

  9. The demons pollute the person with demonic poison. This type of possession takes place when MCs, performers and actors entertain people with funny but careless and useless jokes. They feed people with falsehood seasoned with sensations, false stories presented in an interesting manner.

  10. Any object, place or environment that satisfies one, some or all of the above conditions is also possessed by demons and needs deliverance. The implication is majority of the people you see everyday are either directly possessed by evil spirits or indirectly possessed because the demons affects their possessions. That is one reason why many pastors of God are preaching ‘Taking back your possession.’ In most cases, the person possessed does not know that they are possessed, until the demon manifests in a dramatic ways, is detected by a spiritually evolved person or revelation is made by God. That is why deliverance is very important. It is necessary before marriage, and compulsory before ordination.

Why The Evil Spirits Possess People
         The evil spirits possess people on order to achieve their aims, which may include:
  1. Fulfil its own desire like tasting alcoholic, drug or tobacco.

  2. Trouble that person.

  3. Prevent spiritual practice and progress.

  4. Disorganise events.

  5. Push and pull people into the hell fire.

  6. Steal people’s soul by deceptions.

  7. Kill souls by separating them from God, just as a fish is killed by keeping it away from water.

  8. Destroy souls and properties, just out of wickedness.

  9. Keep people in bondage.

  10. Etc.

Signs Of Being Demon-Possessed
         The signs of being demon-possessed are:
  1. Seeing things which others do not see.

  2. Hearing sounds which others do not hear.

  3. Perceiving some awful fragrance which others do not detect.

  4. Persistent feeling of anger, regrets, sadness, confusion, worry or hopelessness (depression).

  5. Being prone to business failure.

  6. Hatred against life and everything around.

  7. Persistent feeling of uneasiness.

  8. Lack of spirit of understanding.

  9. Very poor retentive memory level.

  10. Distaste of any physical engagements (love of idleness).

  11. Destructive thoughts such as kicking or hitting those passing by. It is really unfortunate that many a times, people in an environment do not know what one of them is passing through, until there is a violent manifestation. Madness does not start in a day, just as people do not die on a single date, but by a gradual process which may take days, weeks, months or even years. All these facts highlight the need for the study of Spiritual Science in all spheres of human endeavours.
