I certainly don't understand all of the bible. I do find it to be very confusing sometimes.
And I don't want anyone to drink poison to prove anything.
All I know is I've lived thirty seven years without thinking much about demons and I don't want to start now. I know they are out there. I know they try to cause christians trouble. I did have an experience one time that I think was very demonic. Whether it was or not, I don't know. Someone gave me an explanation of what it could have been one time that might have made it just a natural occurrence verses a demonic one. It wasn't an internal situation by any means, but an external one.
I also see all the deliverance ministries are usually, or almost always tied to other doctrines that I absolutely do not believe. The word of faith ministries and the deliverance ministries seem to go hand and hand, and everyone probably knows by now how I feel about the word of faith ministries.
I admit I need more studying to understand it all.
But in the meantime, I just want to keep my eyes on Christ and encourage others to do the same. I don't want to think about demons or have anything to do with them.
I'm not doubting that some people are very bothered by them. And I'm not doubting that they don't bother me. In fact, I sense spiritual warfare in my own house all the time. But my answer still remains to run to Christ, keep my eyes on him, think on him! I don't believe I need to call on anyone to come deliver me.
To each his own though. We must each be convinced in our own minds of all these things, leaning on the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth.
