What I have heard is that many healings are the result of a demon or demons. Most if not all mental health issues are, too. I have heard of people who were unable to move with a real medical issue get up and walk after prayer. I have heard people cured of AIDS and MS and other terminal illnesses. What is this about? Is it real? How can I tell?

I am not talking about the devil healing people although the bible says he will be able to. I am asking if the healings and deliverances are real and has anyone seen it? How do the demon come out? What do they look like?

I am asking do demons cause the diseases and illnesses people deal with.

I don't know about the miracle healings. I don't personally believe it. I really don't believe those people on television shoving your forehead are for real. I do believe in prayer though. As far as demon possession, I had a conversation with a missionary about this a little over a year ago. He said he has seen it in other countries. My idea is that Satan has other outlets to expose evil in larger, media friendly, countries like television, music, ect. In the smaller, third world countries, this outlet is not there so possession happens there.
That's just my take on it.

You know prayer is very powerful thing..It helps some . and not others..
But in my view GOD has trained and guided many women and men to be great doctors . To HEAL those who need more than a prayer. I do not believe that illness and mental illness are the result of demonic possession... because there is scientific proof of these illnesses. Its sounds kinda midevil don't you think. some one is sick because they are possesed . everyone would be having exorcisims .. and there would be no more medical doctors. that sounds odd dont you think . really ..
Sometimes it would be nice if it was that easy.
I think that one in a million are the people that you see maybe cured from an illness... but no more than that.
I would not believe it . . . not unless you have scientific proof.

Pork is Bad.
Remember the Legion went into the pigs. Pigs, according to God, are unclean. We, as humans, are unclean until God makes us clean with the Blood of Jesus when we accept Jesus as our King and Lord and Saviour.
When people are in sin, they are open to the devil and his demons. Sin opens the door, demons walk in. When you accept Jesus and repent and ask for forgiveness, the demons' "legal rights" are canceled. They do not leave though. Example: You have sex outside of marriage. You catch herpes. You repent. Herpes doesn't go away. You have canceled Herpes' "legal rights" to you but it won't leave. How do you get rid of Herpes when medicine can't cure it? God allows you to cast out devils (Mark 16:17). Disease is of the Devil. Healing take place after the demons are removed to repair the damage that has been done. Medicine as well as Psychology is about symptoms. Medicines address the symptoms. Very few meds cure an illness. You body fights the illness. Illness is not of God and is usually caused by demons.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.
Without faith, it is impossible to please God.
Faith and the Word of God are involved in healing and deliverance.

THe devil has ALWAYS duplicated God. Since the beginning of time. God had angels, the devils angels are demons. Healing services are REAL! I have seen with my eyes perform signs, miracles and wonders, but the enemy (devil) will try to duplicate what God does, and tries to distort and pervert things. Sometimes people will have demonic possessions and never know it. Study and Pray! Educate yourself.

When you say that healing are caused by daemons you are giving a non living inferior spirit to much credit. Daemons dont have the power to do such things. you can find this in the bible. Also I do believe that a person can be healed through faith. If you look at the book of Job job was sick his family was killed and because of his faith in God he was cured. Now when I say this I dont mean that by praying once you will be ok. God works in mysterious ways and sometimes it is just time for certain people to join him. You can log on to www.equip.org and read some of Hanks work. He does a better job in explaining this. He is on the radio 99.5FM christian research institute

The only way to be certain for yourself is to get involved. Find a church near you with a viable healing ministry. Take someone you know to be really ill. Take them for healing services until they are healed.
There are fakers out there. No doubt. But the real deal is out there too. Find them.

Divine healings have nothing to do with the devil or his demons. A kingdom divided against itself will fall. Sickness, diseases and the like are from the devil. Why would he heal something he had done to begin with? That woud contradict him and his purposes. Miracle healings are healings in which they cannot be explained either in the medical field or common knowledge of the thing. There is no explanation for it. It just divinely happen.Miracle healings are from God. Yes they are for real. Let me explain something if I can. Every last one of us on a daily basis have different organisms living in our own bodies that if it were not for the goodness of God could rise up and kill us instantly. But God....... Who is rich in mercy and grace keeps the devil(who would want to kill us) at bay and does not allow him to harm us. Remember God says that He wishes above all else that we prosper and be in good health, even as our soul prospers. Demon possession, unfortunately is real as well. There is no clear cut way to tell if someone is demon possessed unless God gives you that discerning spirit. That is one of the reasons why the Word of God says that man ought always to pray and not faint. If it were not God, on any given day, the devil would love nothing better to afflict us in any way. The Word of God says that the devil(enemy) comes but to kill, to steal, and to destroy. May God Bless

Hi Jay,
healings through faith in the Lord are too many to count, look up Lourdes on the web,as for possessions they are really very rare,
more common is oppression by evil spirits which act on someone without entering them,and this is the cause of much of the symptoms of mental disorder, but not all of them.

Yes it is very real. I am a faith healer. It is one of the gifts of the Holy Ghost. Be warned Satan can heal also. The Bible talks about this. B/c we are in the last days it will become more prevalent on both sides. Satans goal is to deceive the world and deceive he has.

I believe that it all about your mind. Your mind and your beliefs are an astounding assest in any particular situation. I dont believe in any Miracle Dr.'s. I think that you have to want to be or you wont be.
There are no such things as demon possession. I think that it is like bi-polar. Someone was smart enough to figure out that they can act like an "***" and blame it on something. You are responsible for your actions. If you have to make excuses becuz you are ashamed; you need to re-evalute yourself immediately.
