Matthew 17:14-21 Jesus casts out the demons.
1Samuel 28:1-24 King Saul has a medium to call up a spirit.
I know from my personal encounters with demons that they are still on the earth. We all know that there was demons in the Bible times. Some one tell me why people doubt they are here now. What changed to make people think they went away or never existed?

Well, there are people today who believe in demons. A lot of different religions believe in demons.
Personally, I don't really believe in demons.

Demon possession was done away when Jesus died and overtook Satan. He can no longer take over the bodies of the living. Satan does not have the power he had before the death of Jesus.
They did exist and were overcome by Jesus so we do not have indwelling of them today.
Demons do still exist. They are there to tempt us and lead our hearts from God. Demons today are people that have the spirit of Satan. He lives and is well but does not overcome the physical bodies as he did before Jesus.

A conspiracy.
A conspiracy between the demons
and those who say there are no demons.
The demons would like man not to believe in their
existence so that they could always mislead innocent and
believing people.
Those who say there are no demons have been influenced by demons to mislead their fellow human beings.
In this world there so many "demons" already not as spirits but impediments and hindrances in pursuing the things of God. In fact, worldly "demons" may even facilitate the work of the devils in separating man from God.

There are demons now.If I were a demon I wouldnt want ANYONE believing I was real.They would then seek a way to get rid of me while I was causing havoc!
If I can realize that just being human how much more do demons realize it?
There is a way to have power over them and it is a right relationship with GOD, being filled with HIS SPIRIT and calling on the name JESUS.

Demons still do extist, there is no difference then when Jesus was here. Satan is still doing his evil works, trying to get God's people to sin against Him. Satan is out their working hard to make every believer stumble and follow him. I know of people that have experienced demons, but i personally havent. i believ that if im a Christian that God wont allow any evil to enter my home.

There were never any demons (except the imaginary ones in your mind). I appreciate, of course, that you believe there were because the book you quote says so. But, if so, such demons have left no physical evidence that I know of to indicate their existence. If you do have some physical proof, I'm sure you'll have CNN all over it.
But if such physical evidence does not exist, please appreciate that some folks, including myself, will find your statement ludicrous.
Just trying to help you out here. But I need the two points, so hopefully it's a win-win situation.

The spiritual power that was going on when He was here was a lot worse then. When I say worse, I mean people knew older "ways". When He resurrected, He took a lot of it. If He hadn't come as the Saviour I would of had it a lot worse today. Is the reason I am very THANKFUL to Him with the depths of my soul and some for being my Saviour.

Of course there are, just read the newspapers. Demons come in all shapes such as peadophiles, serial killers, terrorists etc.
Demons do not have horns and tails.

Because nowdays we give medicine to people who have mental problems instead of labeling it Demon work. Just as with any other claim of the supernatural i would ask for proof of this.

Demons still exist. We recently had one that tried to take up residence in our church. You could just feel the evil emanating from the corner of the church where it was. It did not get to stay long. A bunch of Holy Ghost filled people in the church prayed it out and sent it packing.
