Driven By Demons

By: Rev. Mark T. Blachley

This is a subject I am very familiar with. Demons have all sorts of power and abilities. Even medical science has discovered this in many cases of schitzophrenia. Inside of our mental hospitals is an exorbitant sea of demonically infected individuals. It is in the mind that demons first attack. That is where it is the easiest for them to gain control.

Once they gain control over an individual, a number of things may occur. In the bible, there are many instances of demon possession, and the power they have over their victims. There are a few cases where a person was possessed with a demon and they were dumb (mute), and when the demon was cast out, the person who was mute, was able to speak. So, this person had a demon of muteness. Demons may be identified by what they do.

In the Bible, there are places in which the power of demons is revealed. There of course was a man struck with a spirit that made him mute. There is another where the individual was made mute and blind as well. In another case, there was a boy who was said to be a lunatick. Where the demon tried to cause him to fall into the fire to destroy him. But when it was cast out, the phenomena subsided. Thus, the cause was demonic. When the source is cut off, the activity ceases. In the case of the man with the legion of demons, (about 3000-6000) as a result of this many entities residing within him, he had tremendous strength. Strength enough to break the chains and bonds that the residents of the region bound him in chains to keep him in line. I have personally witnessed this type of power. There was a demon possessed individual at a church I was attending. He manifested such strength that he threw a man much larger than myself with one hand. It was like watching superman or something. The Bible also states that the man with the legion of demons dwelt in the cemeteries.

In several cases of demonic activity, the actions of people defy human reason. Why would someone want to live in a graveyard? Demons drove him to do it that is why. There are many instances where demons are able to influence people or even entire nations to harm, murder, and commit crime. I will guarantee you that this Islamic Jihad that has overwhelmed the world is a demon driven movement. I have seen many videos of these individuals and I can see by looking into their eyes that they have demons. After all, is it normal to kill? To maim or do all of the horrible things we have seen at the hands of this extremist group? No it is not normal human behavior.

How do you know if there is demonic activity? It is actually quite easy. Contrary to what many Christians believe, demons are not under every rock and tree. However, we are living in a time of escalating demonic activity and I will tell you why. Maybe sixty years ago that wasn’t the case. But over the years, we have fought many wars in which our soldiers have gone over to foreign countries where there are pagan deities and many of those soldiers brought back artifacts with them as well as demons that were attached to them. Of course all without knowing. Many also adopted new religions as a result of being overseas for so long and being away from America where it was mostly a Christian nation. And also the many immigrants we have taken in have also brought their religions with them as well.

The way to determine if a demon is active in a situation is very simple. If a child is put on detention for talking or chewing gum, that is normal human behavior. When they decide to go and gun down the entire school that is demonic. When a man carries around a cut up body in a suitcase with him as he goes about life as usual, that is demonic. When a man has an argument with his girlfriend, and he takes her baby and pours gasoline on it and sets it on fire that is demonic. The instance with the man in recent news in New York that gunned down several people because of president Obama, that man was definitely demon influenced. To kill is not normal. These individuals have a history of high stress and being bullied to a point where they are driven to extreme violence. I blame Hollywood and its highly violent programming. It has given many people an idea of how to follow through with demonically inspired plans.

There is a very strange case that happened in the ministry of Dr. Lester Sumrall. There was a little boy who had an imaginary friend. It would allow him to disappear at will. The mother and father would find things that were missing in the oddest places. On one occasion, the father found his shoes way up high behind something and there was no way the little boy could have done it. They would lock all the windows and doors and he would still get out. On several occasions, the little boy and his friend would go to restaurants and when it came time to pay, they would simply disappear. Along with this phenomenon, the little boy was changing. His personality became aggressive and defiant. It got to be too much for the parents, as they had almost lost total control over him. It was as if he was no longer himself. It was determined later that there was a demon inhabiting him. When it was cast out, the boy went back to normal, and he never disappeared again.

There are many other kinds of demons and they all have different abilities and powers. Many are stronger than others and use them to do the dirty stuff while the more powerful entities establish control.

I have even heard of entities that can control electricity and stop and start cars and machinery. There is even an indication in the bible that Satan is capable of controlling weather. Such as tornadoes and storms.

There was an instance of an individual from Calcutta India that was heavily involved in demonic worship from birth. The demon that he thought was a god allowed him to drink broken glass fragments without any harm whatsoever. Upon the demon being cast out, he was able to come to his senses and realize that what was really controlling him wasn’t what he thought it was. This is the case with many of the homicides that have been recorded. After the event, the person who did the killing or the bombing had no recollection of the event or didn’t even realize what they were doing at the time. They would go into great detail as to how they loved their parents or whomever it was that they killed or harmed. Many even have stated that it was as if something else was controlling them.

There is a story in the Bible where king Saul went against his mandate from God and tried to be a prophet. It was not his place to be a prophet as God had appointed him to be a king. He defied his ordinance and as a result it says that an evil spirit of sadness vexed him. This continued to his death as a result of his defiance. So it is in this day and age as well. There are many in churches that suffer from this same scenario.

So, it is very apparent that demons are very active in this world. Even more so in most of the eastern countries but it is escalating in America as well. It is my opinion that the influence of demons will only increase as a result of the turbulent times we are currently in. But, now many should know the power that is behind the events that are plaguing this world. Demons are very real and so is their influence on humanity.
