I don't know if you are still having troubles, but this could probably help both of you. The key is to be forcefully good with them. For the
original thread I would say that you are relying more on physical strength more than mental strength. when physical strength is good for a moment,
mental strength puts these literal creatures of negativity away more long term. I am no longer Christian in any traditional sense, but the bible did
have some good "pointers" if you will. Jesus bannished demons with things like asking them for a name, or simply saying "begone!", basically, truth,
and courage instead of fear and falsehood. This is why when you told one demon to burn in hell, he did, you had the mental power to make it happen.
When you told the man on the floor to let go, and he said he would never let go, you shouldn't have stopped, you should have continued to force your
mental strength, afterall, all he did was announce his intentions. never shy away as that allows them to gain ground, always assert that you have the
same mental strength that sent that one to hell or at least away and show that you are not afraid to use it.
As for the commentors issues, you also posess the same strength to mentally overpower demons. Just because they are immortal does not mean they are
more powerful, man was God's biblical creation that all were commanded to praise in the beginning, the biggest lie that demons spread is that because
we are mortal, we are some how powerless. We were made in God's image to carry his spirit, and thusly, we all have the ability to channel that spirit
when needed, however, channeling God's spirit and thus his power takes a toll on our physical bodies, and no one part is capable, which is why they
say God can only protect you if you believe with all your mind, heart, and soul that he will, because it takes the full power of all 3 aligned to
access his power. Praying is a crutch to acheive this alignment, however, to someone who knows that we all have the power to channel this power, and
one who has mental control of his mind, body and soul, can bypass praying and automatically summon the power, which is handy in the moment. Demons
are tricky beings, and if you fall for their tricks, they can do whatever they want to you. The trick you wrote about that you said you fall for is
mocking your prayers. you pray to access that strength which protects you, and the demon knows it and that you really don't need to pray. But, if
you can't align yourself without praying, this is an effective trick. How it works is that the mocking is annoying and distracting, this is where
your ability to keep from getting distracted comes in, if you allow yourself to get distracted, you have just failed to access that strength and would
have to start again. If you get angry and start yelling your prayers at him or loudly with the intent of trying to intimidate him with the prayers,
you are now still praying, but allowing your mind to wander towards the trick itself, distracting you from the real goal, accessing God's spirit,
which requires your whole mind, and on the other hand, the mocking, if given any attention at all, causes you to slightly wonder if the praying is
working and if you should use that time for something else, since there is an immortal being laughing at you for it, when he in reality is laughing
because the probability of this multi-teired distraction technique working, and causing you in the future to doubt praying as a valuable resource in
the future, making it easier to distract you from it next time, is high because you don't understand what's up. the key is to drown out the mocking,
as if in a meditative mindset, and focus wholly on the prayer and not at all on the demon, and believe that the demon's trick is what stopped the
prayer from working, and that the prayer does infact work. The demon seems to be getting stronger because he is severing your ties to the power of
god through tricks like these, he's not getting stronger, you're being fooled into acting weaker.
Take this information and use it to renew your belief that you can overcome your tormenter, again, man was created in God's image, and we have the
ability to channel his power, which is much more powerful than anything a demon can bring to the table, just believe you can access it fully, and
access it, don't be goated into messing up, assert and conjour this power as if the demon is silent and not there, if he sees you starting to conjour
this energy, everything he will do will be to trick you into losing your grip on that power and make you lose it, so act regardless of it. also, fear
is the name of the game, don't let your tormentors set fear in you, fear is an emotion like a wild horse, it will run without direction or authority,
what you must do is pull yourself up on the horse and ride it, channel it, and use the energy expelled when you are afraid, when the energy of fear is
gripped, and taken to be used, it becomes courage, use that courage and bravely ignore the demon and focus on god, regardless of what you might feel
the demon may do. the fear the demon promotes, although by nature threatening, is just another empty threat to try and distract you from accessing
god's energy, an act that stems from the demon's own fear of what you can do when god's energy is accessed, again, don't fall for this trick, and
don't let the fear seep into your mind now that you know it's just a exhibit of the demon's own fear, attack it with the energy you have do access
too!
