What Is Possession?
According to theology, all human beings are com- posed of a body, a spirit, and a soul.
The body is the physical mechanism that realizes life. The spirit is that force which animates the body. The soul is basically the essence of your being, that is to say, it is a cosmic record of who you really are.
Every human being has a spirit, we are told, and that spirit is the rightful heir to the body. When that human spirit is gone, the body is as lifeless as an empty shell. This state is otherwise known as death.
Possession, the highest stage of diabolical in-terference, is a situation where an inhuman spirit displaces the human spirit, and then pro- ceeds to act through the human body. Because the inhuman spirit is corrupt and profane, the results of this hijacking, this spiritual take-over, are equally corrupt and profane.
Possession is an ex- tremely rare event and is in fact prohibited by God. But the inhuman spirit is a disobedient spirit and it commits this act of defiance out of jealousy and rage. For this is a spirit that -- because of its faulted nature -- is pro- hibited from exper-iencing life in the earthly realm. Thus its only option is to steal a body and do it anyway. However this is not a spirit that shares our values. This is a spirit that instead exists in opposition to both man and God. And because man is a creation of God, its eternal intent is to disgrace mankind in front of God Himself. It is an essentially stupid and feeble gesture, but it happens nonetheless.
Because the inhuman spirit (a fallen angel) is in fact a religious entity, religious procedures are therefore required to ex-pel it from the body. Ultimately, when all is said and done, exorcism is nothing more than a command - made in the name of God - for the spirit to cease the act of possession and leave the person’s body.
Possession and exorcism occur in all cultures and all religions. It is a situation that has beset man since the beginning of time, and apparently will not end until the consummation of the ages has occurred. |

This is one thing I do believe in because I have seen it. I was in Brazil and there was a good friend of mine who tried jumping off a balcony. We tried to stop him and pulled him down. Then he began to run to the stairs and he tumbled down, we thought we was dead. We picked him up and he still tried to runaway. Until he hurt himself so bad he knocked himself unconcious and in the morning had no recollection. He thought we were playing a prank on him at first, until he realized we were all scared and serious. I hope I dont have to encounter that again. |

Your friend was only possessed that one night?
Are you sure he hadn't been drinking or using drugs? |
