Well, apparently the devil has a stronger grasp on her than any of you think! There needs to be intervention from a pastor, and she should have someone stay with her just to make her feel safe. It is known that evil spirits tend to to follow one wherever they go, so this will not go away until she totally gives it to God. She should also go for spiritual counceling at her church, and possibly having the pastor bless her house / apt....wherever she may live! I will keep this in my prayers!
May God Be With Your Family!
In Christian Love,

If she is saved she can't be possesed. She is just being attacked from the outside. We will all get attacked somehow if we are children of the living God.
Has she messed with any occult? ouija bouard, torot cards etc..... if so, she should ask the Lord to forgive her and close the doorway for which the demons have access through. Satan's bark is worse than his bite. He is referred to as the toothless wonder. If she can just come to realize that the demons and satan are already defeated and that they actually can't do much to her except scare her, them it's kind of up to her to use the authority given to her by Christ when she got saved. If she truly is saved. She just needs to start praising God out loud as often as she can throughout her day worshippping Him. Preferrably in private like in her room or closet where there will be no interruptions. She can leave the light on, play some praise and worship music if she wants. But the main thing she needs to do is address Him as Father and praise Him. God has many names and each name describes who He is and what His character is. For example: The Great Provider, The Lamb of God, The Alpha and Omega, The lion of the Tribe of Judah, protector, redeemer, savoir, Lord, King of Kings etc....When she is alone she can proclaim outloud to God how wonderful He is and speak of His names and what He has been for her personally. She needs to immerse herself in the Word of God to learn the verses she needs to speak against the spirits and use the word as her protection whenever she needs to . She is the one that has to take a stand. The Lord is stronger than satan and his demons. If she is born again then she has an advocate. You can pray for her as well before she goes to bed. Look for verses that promises a restful sleep. and pray for her before she leaves the house.

Talk to a pastor about this. If you are praying,and it goes away for a while, then, comes back, then I think maybe there might be something in the house that is keeping it there. Do you have anything that would be from the occult, or wiccan, or magic, a movie, pornography, music, or anything else you can think of that needs to be removed from the house? If you do, then get rid of it now, and keep praying for Jesus to come. You said everytime she does something wrong. What is it she is doing? She needs to stop, and repent, and ask Jesus into her heart. I know one thing my nephew (he's a pastor) has done when demons had bothered him. Everytime it happened, he would pray for someone else, then the next time, he would pray for 10 people, then the next time, he would pray for 20 people. If this demon thinks it is causing you to pray for people, it will leave. Just a thought. I would definitley talk to a pastor, though. I will pray for you and your sister. God Bless

That is why Jesus told Christians to "flee from even the idea, much less the presence of evil."
No one, especially Christians should never watch movies like The Exorcist, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, or attend seances, play with Ouija boards, Tarot cards, or consort with mediums. When anyone does this, or has any of the above, they unknowingly or knowingly invite and/or give permission for demon spirits to enter their homes.
The first thing I would do is rid your home of anything with a demonic theme. After you have destroyed whatever is in your home and tossed it in the outside trash, I would have a Christian go from room to room and pray a prayer in the Name of Jesus Christ & In the power of authority of Jesus Name to cleanse it. And then I would have everyone pray a prayer of Jesus Christ's protection, cleansing, over your sister.
The Holy Bible says, "Demons tremble at the mention of name of Jesus Christ." Jesus never conversed or argued with demons, He always quoted God's words to counter Satan and his demons words.

Take her to a psychiatrist.
The demons are all in her mind. She is creating them when she feels that she has done something wrong and need to be punished, and then she makes them disappear when she calls to Jesus and so thinks she is forgiven.
Emily Rose is a fictional character. It is loosely based on the real life of Anneliese Michel. A German girl who was starved to death by her parents and priests rather than getting the medical help she really needed. The parents and priests of Anneliese Michel were found guilty of manslaughter.

Keep praying. There is always a reason for everything. Not knowing the circumstances, I can not tell you what to do. What I can say is that if she is confronted with this "demon" in her dreams, there could be an underlying problem she is facing. Dreams are the reality of our subconcious. Generally, what ever issues we do not deal with during the day we dream about at night. This demon could be something she is trying to deal with.
Keep praying. There is nothing you can not accomplish without God....

Her conscience could be playing a role in her nightmares. If she knows she'll feel bad for doing something she shouldn't, or that it may cause nightmares - then she should learn a lesson from that and not do it again.
I think it is her lesson to learn. You can be a good sister, be supportive and listen to her.
Sometimes my conscience bothers me too. Pray, there is power in prayer.
May God bless you.

Well, either she will have to have the demon exorcised or her parents will have to consent to letting her be examined by doctors to make sure there is nothing physically wrong and psychiatrists to make sure there is nothing emotionally wrong. I do believe it could be a demon. I also believe it could be a bad recurring dream based on something she has seen or something that has scared her. I'd start with the exorcism if I were you and see what happens. Good luck and God bless you, her and your family.

She's not a "psycho", she's having nightmares. Everyone has nightmares. This doesn't mean anything supernatural is going on.
Perhaps she is not getting regular sleep? Perhaps her sleep is getting disturbed in some way? Perhaps something is bothering her at school? There are many, many reasons why this could be happening. It is not a demon.
