Yes - demons can manipulate the physical world. I know this from experience. I used to practice witchcraft. And so doing, I opened the door for demons to make my life miserable. But when I accepted Christ in my life, He took care of them for me. Ghosts, poltergeists, etc. are all simply demons in disguise to "fool" us and lead us away from God. The Bible says that. But God is greater than the one who rules this world. If you want to talk, just contact me - I'll be happy to help.

I have an open mind on this one, which is one of the reasons why I wont touch an ouija board or dabble with silly games of calling the spirits. I personally suspect the strong possibility of their existence and would not like to call them and run the risk of not knowing how to get rid of them if that theory was proven right.
Who can prove one way or the other. We only hear stories and we call them Ghost stories. But I wont take the risk.

Usually evil spirits go after one of two types of people. First people can invite evil spirits into their lives when they start to dabble in occult practices. They open up the door to the spirit realm and there is a vile spirit waiting to take up residence in a being that was created in the image of God. If the person gets scared before the spirit can gain possession of them it might seek to terrify them in the hope that they will once more seek power through the occult so that it can gain a stronghold in their life.
Secondly when a person turns to God and becomes a member of the family of Jesus it's like a person who signs up for the military and puts on a uniform. They become marked as a rival force member in the spirit realm. Evil spirits will attempt to seduce believers into sin in order to get them on the wrong side of their Father's will like Balaam advised Balak to do to the Israelites when God wouldn't let him curse them directly. Then the believer loses their testimony and becomes a "wounded soldier" or a Christian casualty.
Numbers 31:16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
Numbers 25:1 While Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to whore with the daughters of Moab. 2 These invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 So Israel yoked himself to Baal of Peor. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
If that doesn't work they may seek to harm the person to take them out of the battle or scare them into giving up. In order to harm a child of God they have to get them to believe a lie and act on it or commit a sin that brings harm in their lives since they have no authority under Heaven to directly assault one of God's children.

Evil spirits can't harm you, they just sneek up, whisper stuff in your ear, and suggest that the wrong choice would be the right thing to do at the time, speaking to your subconsious. So you do it and harm yourself.

Sort of. They cannot harm you unless you let them though.
Don't confuse that with dark energy caused by your own thoughts. Your thoughts take form. If you go around thinking negative or superior to others all the time, you will draw like events toward you.

God's personality is stumbled on interior both tremendous Commandments, and under no circumstances interior the ten. the ten were adapted for the Israelites who were liable to do those issues commanded antagonistic to. The commandments do no longer coach someone good; they were there to coach the individuals to be sinners. . You wrote: Hogie: I fluctuate with ya on that one. Matthew 22:40: On those 2 commandments carry close each of the regulation and the prophets. precisely. yet you're saying, in essence, that the regulation and prophets carry close on the ten commandments. 2 hours in the past Hogie: I might want to make sparkling my warfare of words. each little thing you stated is smart except the remark that the ten were 'adapted' for the Jews. i think the ten must be kept by using absolutely everyone on the prompt. yet, certain, the commandments do communicate about our sins and are not only kept to make ourselves righteous by using our own efforts. We keep the ten because we adore Jesus. you're overlooking the covenant component the following. only Israel turned right into a social gathering to that covenant with God. Christians were under no circumstances a social gathering to the old covenant; they're a social gathering to the recent, the position Christians "fulfill" the regulation through love as contrasted to basically "retaining" the regulation interior the letter. in case you chorus from murdering someone you hate, large deal. You "kept" the regulation, yet are nonetheless responsible because of your hatred. Now imagine about pleasant the regulation through having love even on your enemies. Now do you comprehend why we do not keep on with the ten commandments interior the letter? Your profile says you do not enable e mail, which could be a lot less complicated to communicate those subject matters with you, might want to you ensue to study this. .

Denzel Washington starred in a movie about this called "Fallen". Good portrayal of demons transferred from one man haunted by them to another man totally different in character. Highly recommended viewing.
