Hi Elder Yong,
A friend of mine (who claim to have the spiritual gift from God in abling to see "things" from the other realms) said he once saw some shadowy figures apparently evil, trailing me, it seemed like evil spirit "possession" to me. True enough, I was very spiritually down or "weak" then, those days many flashes of suicidal attempts crossed my mind.
Coincidentally not too long thereafter, a pastor whom was invited to our church for sermons (also quite spiritually gifted in those "spiritual stuff") took a long and hard stare at me as I was casually walking pass him, literally eyes trailing me as I walked passed for something like 15-20 seconds, eyes never left me. We never talked or communicated, but I felt weird. It later crossed my mind the question : "was it something that he saw in me, same evil spirit trailing me, me possessed?"
Can a Christian who has accepted Christ as saviour and having the holy Spirit in him, while spiritually weak or low, be demon possessed, or harrassed?
Have read some books, one of them said that demon possessions, some being serious cases while others light, are kind of like flu, can catch it when we are not careful, like when we get angry, like when Peter was chided by Jesus when He predicted His own death (Matt16:23). What do you think?
Like to read stuff like that though quite scary (Christian books only), healthy or not?
Thanks for your time in answering.
