Hello,
I have recently found myself in a position to gather as much information as possible about demonic possession. Are there any of you that have any first-hand experience with this, or knows someone who has. I am very much interested in the subject and am trying to gather as much information as possible. Anything you could share would be greatly appreciated. It doesn't have to be a personal experience, just anything. I look forward to hearing what this community has to say on this subject.

I could say that these "demonic possession" in reality are echoes of something which belongs to the past and when i say the past, i mean something of very old.
Not demons, church stuff etc. but they where simply humans like us but more more advanced.
Guess who were they?

Do you mean you know who "they" are? Is that what you are implying asking us to guess? If so, please share...

My pastor has dealt with this. He says a better way to say it is "demonic attachment". In the 70's he had a church in California and one time at an evening service He remembers a man during the service who began crawling over and under the pews and if I remember right became vocally disruptive(I don't know if it was with words or simply sounds).
From my study of the Bible I have found the following. Fallen angels can try to influence us with temptations to do wrong.
Now whether demons and fallen angels are the same thing I do not know.
Before the flood of Noah, fallen angels cohabitated with human women and had offspring with them. These offspring were outside of the will of God. They were very evil and also giants(as in big). These giants were one of the main reasons for the flood. They were destroyed by the flood and their disembodied spirits were left without a body to inhabit.
These evil spirits are what can attach or possess someone. They long for a body since they once had one. There is an event told of in the Bible about a man(it might have been 2 men) that were inhabited by 2,000 of these evil spirits and Jesus ordered them out of the men they were tormenting. The evil spirits begged Jesus not to send them out of the body of the men without another body to inhabit. There was a herd of pigs nearby and the spirits wanted Jesus to allow them to enter the swine. Jesus did and the pigs became crazy and plunged over a cliff and drowned.
So they desperately want to have a physical body.

As they say be careful what you search for cause you might just find it. Opening your consciousness to certain areas allows for that reality to exist in your mind. I had a close friend's father wanting to be invisable. He read books on how to do so. Some sort of book...not sure what it was. So it had certain locations on it to do certain rituals to achieve a certain goal. He set off and opened that door out of curiousity. Well turns out that less then a year after that meeting he fell into a comma. It's been ten years now and he is still in some sort of coma. What's frightening is that when you see his father he looks at you, he sits up, he eats when fed, but he is not there. He's been invisible to his family since then. During the year transition he converted religions and moved his family. So all i can say is that there is a real force out there...you can see it in symbols like the ying and the yang. A balance in life it's really what reality you choose to take up and follow. ?? Hope this helps..

So about your pastor. Do you know any more about what happened with this man? That sounds very interesting and I would like to know more about it.

Yes. I was asking in particular about the example you gave. Do you know what happened with the man who was crawling over and under pews and causing a vocal disturbance?

I didn't think these were that common anymore. Do you know if he has ever performed an exorcism?
