Anyway, I've seen better photos of Bigfoot.
Just sayin'. -

Aaron:
I did not do that, Aaron. I was interfered with twice during my post to you and I was just interfered with yet again as I attempted to answer you. I am literally having to pray my way through this thread just to stay on Baptist Board and even to have clear access.Sorry about the messed up post but I couldn't even finish it properly without being wiped off before I could complete things.
You said, "Anyway, I've seen better photos of Bigfoot."
Then go search out Bigfoot and ignore me. That is your option. -
My tablet must be under devilish influence. This site is the only one today that seems slow to load.

For those that are questioning this interference matter: It isn't just Bapt. Board. It is happening on Photobucket. When I pray for it to be cleared up it done within minutes, usually just moments. Then it starts all over again. I realize that everyone will have technical problems now and then. It happens. But when it happens consistently just before I finish a post or as I am attempting to lift and paste pictures and make corrections then I have a pretty good idea as to the cause. This problem goes back almost 10 years. It's this particular subject that devils hate most of all: the deliverance from evil by Jesus Christ and His shed blood. It is their doom and they don't want anyone talking about it.
P.S. dearest Rolf. I still have you on ignore. Hate to disappoint you but besides your worthless opinions about the various topics you have criticized me....(hint, hint, hint)

Any professing Christian that doesn't have enough discernment not to use a pervert like Groucho Marx as his/her avatar does not have opinions worth consideration. -

I just don't see someone hanging around to take pics. -
Aaron, you are probably a very fine person who loves the Lord and means well, but let me gently ask you: What would you have us do in situation like that? Run and hide from the devils? No way. We defeated them by the power of Christ and the house was eventually cleansed and it sits quietly to this day nine years later. The renters that live there now can't even tell there was once a great spiritual war in that great three story house.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind. II Timothy 1:7.
Friend, we are not supposed to be afraid of the devil.
Best wishes to you. -

I think not.
P.S. for the rest of you; check out what I discovered about Dungeons and Dragons from their own website. http://www.baptistboard.com/threads/the-bible-the-supernatural-revisited.97869/#post-2200980
Post # 15. Enlarge the pictures and see that what I told Snapper Woody was the truth all along. Black magic, demons, and spellcasting. All forbidden in scripture. -

Friend of Salty:
If you would like to talk about your situation and you don't want to do it publicly, send me a PM and I'll get back with you ASAP. -
This thread needs to refocus upon the Scriptures and quit the huge speculations and posting of videos.
First, for the believer, Paul was VERY specific as to what the believer should use to defend against the enemy:
"10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,..."
Seems to me that these are the weapons in which believers are to use, not some vocalizing or claiming or naming. The weapons of our warfare are not that which can be found in a video or some audio recordings.
Second, the whole world is the playground for the spiritual forces of wickedness. There is no righteousness in claiming some "ground" as holy or unholy. That is God's business for this world is His creation. We may ask through "all prayer and petition" but the cause must be for the furtherance of the Gospel (as Paul continued in Ephesians 6 to show).
Third, the Scriptures are clear that messing with the demonic world and what is of that world is not to happen. The OT explicitly states that one who does should not live. There should be no tolerance among believers for even entertainment that engages or references the demonic much less seeking out cause to engage.
Fourth, the believers are not invited into the warfare of the heavenly. The believer is not charged with doing battle with the demonic. The weapons of the warfare given in Ephesians are each defensive, not offensive. They are given to protect the believer, not to go forth into the battle. The King (Jehoshaphat) was told, "The battle is the Lord's" (2 Cor.) As the believer "goes down" (or goes about) they will often encounter opposition, but "the battle is the Lord's." The believer is to put on defensive armor: truth, righteousness, peace...
Fifth, The sword is not used by the believer, but by the Spirit. The believer is to take with them the Scriptures, not as some might carry about a bible, but have the Scriptures at hand in the heart and in the mind. The Scriptures are not some tool for emergency use, but are a continual cleansing, continual shelter, continual rock, continual presence...
Readers of this thread, it is not the physical manifestations of evil that should alarm, such things are but for show and tell times, and the believer is to be just at peace in the storm as in the calm. Should one find themselves in circumstances in which the oppression and or manifestation of evil is encountered, don't run foolishly into the battle, rather take the defensive armor as Paul states, and stand firm, stand still, "Stand in His strength, alone." One does not need to "proclaim" or "cast" or any other pseudo action, for "the battle is the Lord's." Did not Paul say, " Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might."
And did not the Lord Jesus state, "...I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
What further need of the believer than that which the Scriptures provide for defense.
Certainly, it is time to put foolish notions of demonic manifestations aside, and present the sufficiency of the Lord. Battling some evil manifestation is not found in some verbiage expressing some command or demand. For if one is filled with the Spirit, there is no room for anything else, and nothing will be a part of their life but what is not totally approved by the Father. He has the battle plans, and the battle is His. -

That being said, the word of God (aka sword of the Spirit) is definitely used by us. It is used to free and heal ourselves and others.
