I mean I've always been a Christian & gone to church, and never thought it was possible if you were filled with the Holy Spirit, but I'm so edgy and some times I get SO angry its like I have no control its so scary.... I pray but it just feels like God can't hear me its like I turn onto some one else.... What is wrong with me?

This is called anxiety. It's very common and your doctor can help. :-)

Natalie : I think that many of the Christians here are steering you wrong. Here's the thing --- when the Bible was translated into English, they translated the word that would have been better translated demonization as demon possession. Unfortunately, this really throws a lot of people off track, because in their minds they think "We're possessed by Jesus, we can't also be possessed by demons". The terms means 'to ride a man as a man would ride a horse'. In other words, to have *some* control over the man or woman. NOT possession. This is what makes this so confusing, I think.
To answer your question, YES, Christians can be demonized. Especially when they dabble in the occult or sexual immorality. Even things DONE to us by others --- like incest or child abuse --- can open doors to being demonized. I know this doesn't seem fair, but it still *IS*. Again, people can say all they want that it doesn't SEEM possible to be demonized and a Christian --- but since so MANY Christians HAVE been delivered from being demonized and no where in scripture does it say that you can't be both (demonized and saved) --- well, what seems more likely to you? That which has evidence or arguments from the mind of man? You know? Again, there isn't a single scripture that says that believers can't be demonized.
In fact, in the early church, excorcisms were performed on all new believers! What does that tell you?
I would see if you can find a church in your area that deals with deliverance ministry. Charismatic or pentecostal churches are much more likely to do this. Also, I would recommend you read something about this and find out for yourself. Something like Neil T. Anderson's "The Bondage Breaker" would be a good start.
Please email me if you'd like other suggested books (seriously, I could recommend like 20) or any other questions.
God bless. :)

The demon is symbolic and exists only in your mind if you allow it. Don't feel guilty as it may be due to a chemical change caused by the status of your health.. Didn't the God of the Old Testament have wrathful days?

Be angry and sin(law) not.
It's ok to vent, not to law(sin, accuse, condemn, kill).
Lawing will come back to tormentor you: Mt 18:34
Difference between Ghost & Spirit.
God is a Spirit, not a Ghost.
Merciful is not merciless.
Perfect isn't tormenting.
Consider what's more silly, of these two (fear) things:
a child afraid of the dark or an adult afraid of the light?
Now flush both law law things for what's best of 3 things.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Anger is something you need to control, it leads you to the edge of hell. Therefore be more thankful to God every day, read the Bible, and this will change. Having anger does not mean that you are demon possessed but giving into it is giving into the demon who encourages it.

This happened to me and it was scary but I went to a doctor (pyschiatrist to be blunt) and after one year on the medications I was cured. Some people have to stay on them for life. I now know that there is no god,devil, or demons so it makes life much much easier

My demon is also possessed.
It is my uncontrolled mind.
I blame others, demons, devils etc to escape from my responsibility to control the mind.
It is called the Devil -An idle mind is the workshop of the devil.
May be u have too much money and don't work enough.

If you're a Christian then you absolutely cannot be demon possessed.
Once you are saved, the Holy Spirit comes to live & dwell within you. Darkness MUST flee........no demon can live in you when you are a true believer

There is no such thing as demonic possession. You quite likely have an anxiety disorder of some kind. Consult a doctor or a psychologist.

You can't be possess after being saved but we are also still mortal and a sinner.
Being a sinner, we still capable of sinning but we have a liberty to choose right and wrong.
