The Truth Behind Ouija board and Demon Possessing

What is the truth behind Ouija board and demon possessing? Is it safe to play Ouija board? How can a normal board game possess a person with a demon or evil spirit?
Ouija board is a flat board marked with the letters of the alphabet, the numbers 0-9, the words 'yes, no, hello, and goodbye'. It is a registered trademark of Hasbro Inc., which markets and distributes board games. It uses a planchette (small heart-shaped piece of wood) or movable indicator to indicate the spirit's message by spelling it out on the board during a séance. Participants place their fingers on the planchette, and it is moved about the board to spell out words.

History: Introduced by businessman Elijah Bond on July 1890, the Ouija board was regarded as a harmless parlor game unrelated to the occult until American Spiritualist Pearl Curran popularized its use as a divining tool during World War I. Mainstream religions and some occultists have associated use of a Ouija board with the concept of demonic possession, and view the use of the board as a spiritual threat and have cautioned their followers not to use a Ouija board.

Ouija Board and Spirit of Dead:
An Ouija board can never bring a good or bad spirit of a dead when a person plays it. It is because even though human being is a spirit, it is not hanging around in the earth without a body as we think based on fiction. They are actually resting and will rise again at the coming back of Jesus Christ at the end times.

If someone was able to bring back the spirit of dead like that it would have been amazing because it can help to uncover many mysteries of the world by consulting them in the field of science, medicine, literature and so on. It will be also possible to capture the murderes and so many vast opportunities are there.

But even though it cannot being a spirit of the dead, it can create an opportunity of a demonic spirit to come and may be to also posses you. And unfortunately all demons are bad and there are no good demonic spirits.

Ouija Board and Demon Possessing:
Ouija Board can cause demon possession when a player(a user) plays in with an intention to speak to the dead or to a demon or evil spirit.
A demon can possess a person because of, 1. Demons Free Will, 2. By the Will of People, 3. Sorcerers, Spiritists & Witches 4. Will of God. To know more about reasons for demon possession, Please read the post 'Demonic Possession and Exorcism'
When someone play Ouija board with an intention to communicate to the dead or demon, they are welcoming a demon and making himself available to be possessed by the demon, by his own free will. If someone plays it only as a board game with no evil intention, fear or worries about speaking to the dead or demon, it can cause absolutely no demon possession to the player/user. The fact is, if anyone play any board games or speak or do anything with an evil intention, he is making an opportunity by himself to be possessed by a demon.

Another thing is everyone who play Ouija board will not be possessed. It depends basically on the will and availability of demon as well. No one can make sure that he will not be possessed because of their inability to tell when a demon is available or willing. Demons are a type of spiritual beings that exist on the face of earth. To know more about demons, you can read, What are Demons or Unclean spirits?

There are many people I know and uncountable number of testimonies I heard about people who are possessed by one or more demons because they opened a door in their life for the demons to enter. To be possessed by a demon is not a great thing to experience. There are many cases which resulted in severe diseases, death, mental disorder, murder and so on. To know more about the effects of Demon Possession, you can read my post, 'Demonic Possession and Exorcism'
So I encourage you to keep yourselves and others away from Ouija board or any such kind of things. And do not make yourself an opportunity for a demon to enter into your life by any of your words and acts.
For any more help, if needed you can contact me. Please comment and let me know your thoughts.

Demonic Possession and Exorcism

How to know if a person is demon possessed? How are demons possessed? What are the symptoms? What are the remedies? How to cast out demons? How to do exorcism?

Answer:
The presence or possession of demons can be basically identified by visible and invisible manifestations in the demon possessed and by the gift of spiritual discernment. Usually most manifestations are visible to everyone while some can be heard or seen only by the demon possessed and sometimes an exorcist can see that as well.

Demons can be possessed by following reasons:
1. Demons Free Will: Demons by their own free will can possess any person. Demons cannot possess people with God's grace, those who are protected by God and living in good relationship with God. Any person with wicked mind is an open door for all demons and demons are looking for people like that to abide or to possess.
2. By the Will of People: If a person desire to be possessed by demons and open doors by himself to be possessed, he'll be possessed. Inviting demons by their own words, doing or participating in any occult activities, practicing or participating witchcraft, divination, seeking omens, and consulting mediums and spiritists, playing ouija board, being adventurous to commit any evil practices, making pacts with Satan, dedicating your life to Satan or evil, playing with a demon possessed, etc can make you possessed by demons by your own will.
3. Sorcerers, Spiritists & Witches: Many people really don't know how sorcerers, spiritists and witches able to do paranormal things which they are doing to others. No human beings have are created with paranormal abilities. Sorcerers, Spiritists and witches do this by doing activities that pleases a demon to fulfill what he wishes.
4. Will of God: Demons are not created by God, but they know very well who the God Most High is and they worship Him as well. If God command them to torment a person, demons can possess that person and torment(King Saul is an example). Demons also used to beg God granting permission to abide in something(Demons from Gerasene man).

Manifestations of Demon Possessed Noted from the Bible:
When Saul was possessed with evil spirit, he was tormented mentally and physically and he felt very disturbed and even made murder attempts as well. Hearing divine music made him feel better (1Sam.16:14). Demon can make the possessed people so violent that no one could even pass near them (Mat.8:33). It can cause a person blind and mute.(Mat.9:32, 12:22). It can make the person suffer terribly(Mat.15:22). The demon can infect the person with seizures and make him suffer greatly and are also able to make the person fall into fire and water(Mat.17:14). Demon can make a person extremely strong that even the person can't be bonded with chains. It can also affect the common sense of a person and make him cry and talk aloud. It can make injuries in the possessed person(MK.5:1-5). It can even lift a person and throw a person(Lk.4:35). It can affect the persons common sense and make him even not to live normal by wearing dress. It made him leave the house and live in tombs, hills etc(Lk.8:27). It can also seize and throw the possessed into convulsions and destroy the possessed(Lk.9:39). It can make the person became sick(Acts 19:12)

EXORCISM
Exorcism or casting out demons is the practice of evicting demons from a person. Different religions practice different methods of exorcism. It's better not to practice no other method of exorcism other than what is mentioned in the bible. Because most of all non-biblical methods do exorcism by pleasing demons or Beelzebub by various acts. It's ungodly to do so and can make situation even worse. The complexity of non-biblical exorcism is the greatest evidence that it is ungodly.

There are basically two biblical ways of doing exorcism. The simplicity of the biblical exorcism method is the greatest evidence that it is Godly and there is no bad practice involved in.

Divine Authority: The permanent and most effective solution to do exorcism is to cast them out using the divine authority from God. This authority over demons can be received by fasting and praying and can be used to cast out demons even from severely possessed persons. The only thing this person have to do is to tell to the demons in the possessed person to 'Get Out'.

Jesus Name: There is power in the name of Jesus Christ. A person who accepted Jesus Christ the Son of God as savior and received Holy Spirit(With visible evidence to speak in tongues of Holy Spirit), can use the name of Jesus Christ to cast out normal kind of demons. The only thing they have to do is to tell the the demons in the possessed person to 'Get out in Jesus Christ name'. It's not possible to use this authority by grace of God to cast out powerful demons.

Even without these authorities, anyone can pray to God, speak out the name of Jesus Christ or read bible or sing divine songs to the demon possessed person. Doing so can make a demon possessed person comfortable and the demons in him uncomfortable. In some cases, this can cause the demons to leave the possessed person.

What are Demons or Unclean spirits?

Questions:
What are Demons or Unclean spirits? Are demons real? What do demons do? How are demons originated? Who created demons?

Answer:

Demons which are also known as
Unclean spirits are very real and they still exist on the face of earth. The details about demons are very interesting for those who have interest in spiritual things. There are many things we can understand from bible about demons.

Demons are a type of spiritual beings that exist on the face of earth (Mt.12:43). There are many of them and they go from one place to another by walking and they goes through dry places seeking rest (Mt.12:43). They are able to communicate to other demons and human beings (Mt.12:45, Mk.5:8). They have names, groups and specific tasks (Mk.5:9, Mk.9:25, Mt.12:45). They have grades based on wickedness and have unity with each other (Mt.12:45, Mk.5:12).

They are not visible to human eyes (Mk.5:9). They are able to go inside and abide inside a human being or an animal (Mk.8:8,12). Many of them can abide inside one human being or animal as well (Mk.5:13).
They cannot do things in the physical world themselves. They can do things in the physical world and communicate by inspiring and controlling a living organism after entering inside it (Mk.5:3,9). They can affect the common sense of a human being and even increase the physical strength of a person when abiding in them (Mk.5:4,5,15).

They know very well that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and they even worship Jesus Christ (Mk.5:6,7). They know Jesus Christ will grand them what they beg(Mk.5:7,12,13). They know they will be tormented by Jesus Christ in the appointed time, which is the judgement day and they also know when is the appointed time (Mt.8:29)

These are the important information about demons from bible. If you found it interesting, it is even more interesting to understand what are these demons, how did they originated and why they remains.
Demons are first originated in the time of Noah. They were created by the death of giants who were born by the mating of human beings and fallen angels. We will get a partial understanding about this from the bible and clear understanding from the Book of Enoch. (Book of Enoch is not included in bible, but quoted in the bible, Jude 1:14, Deut.13:2,3)

The summary of what happened is as follows. A group of angels(sons of God) of God, fall in love(lusted upon) with the daughters of men who were fair and they decided to go down to the earth from the heaven. Angels have spiritual body which is kind of invisible for normal human beings and can transform into material bodies which is like similar to human bodies. They married the daughters of men.

The daughters of men who were conceived by the angels of God produced a new variety of human beings called giants. They were bigger, stronger and skilled than normal human beings. The spirit of these giants were different from that of human spirit which God created. Their spirit was neither human spirit, not the spirit of an angel, but a cross of human and angel spirit. They started doing lot of evil things with strength and skills better than human beings and wisdom and knowledge from their fathers, the fallen angels.

The whole earth became wicked because of them. So God decided and destroyed the first set of giants(produced by the first set of fallen angels) by the flood he made at the time of Noah. Then God destroyed the second set of giants(produced by the second set of fallen angels after flood) by his army of the people of Israel and gradually all of them are destroyed from the face of earth.

Thus physically they were destroyed and decomposed to earth as any other creature, but their spirit remained. God let their spirits to be on the face of earth until the day of judgement, for it is neither pure human spirit,  nor pure angel spirit. These spirits of giants are called demons or unclean spirits. In simple words, demons are the spirit of dead giants who once lived in earth.
The demons have similarity with human spirit which help them to abide inside human beings and to control them. With divine authority from Jesus Christ, it is possible to cast demons out from the possessed human beings. We cannot destroy them or send them to hell with that authority as some people suppose. Also demons are not fallen angels and both of them are different.

Demons cannot do anything in the physical world themselves because they are spiritual beings. They abide in human beings because of that. Their primary wish is to destroy human beings.
More information about this can be found in the Book of Enoch: I'm quoting the main chapter below.


Chapter 14 : 1. And He answered and said to me, and I heard His voice: 'Fear not, Enoch, thou righteous man and scribe of righteousness: approach hither and hear my voice. 2. And go, say to ⌈⌈the Watchers of heaven⌉⌉, who have sent thee to intercede ⌈⌈for them: "You should intercede"⌉⌉ for men, and not men for you: 3. Wherefore have ye left the high, holy, and eternal heaven, and lain with women, and defiled yourselves with the daughters of men and taken to yourselves wives, and done like the children of earth, and begotten giants (as your) sons? 4. And though ye were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and have begotten (children) with the blood of flesh, and, as the children of men, have lusted after flesh and blood as those ⌈also⌉ do who die and perish. 5. Therefore have I given them wives also that they might impregnate them, and beget children by them, that thus nothing might be wanting to them on earth. 6. But you were ⌈formerly⌉ spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. 7. And therefore I have not appointed wives for you; for as for the spiritual ones of the heaven, in heaven is their dwelling. 8. And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. 9. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men, ⌈⌈and⌉⌉ from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; ⌈they shall be evil spirits on earth, and⌉ evil spirits shall they be called. [10. As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.] 11. And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, ⌈but nevertheless hunger⌉ and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded ⌈from them⌉.
