65% — at least — being influenced by demons. Around 50% are actually possessed. (IMO)

We pray every day for God to intervene...

Good to see Biblical wisdom being applied to the world’s woes. The effects of evil “ spirits” influencing the masses explains much of what is occurring. There is a difference tho between influence and out right possession.

I do have first hand knowledge of the existence of demons and evil spirits. I worked in the Amazon and saw first hand possession and influence. The deeper I travelled into the Amazon, the more witchcraft shops were noticed. One one occasion, a town of 5,000 held week long prayer sessions for all the young boys turning up missing, some discovered with their hearts cut out.

Denial of the “ unseen” powers is where we are at in these days- until people get back to God and his word, they will never be given the gift of “ discernment “….a sorry state we are in. I see no reversal until we experience Revival, until then, expect the process of us being brought to our knees, Economies crashing, Wars, pensions going belly up, governments unable to protect their citizens, basically everything “ Man” believes will protect him from harm and despair will prove futile.

That said, Pray, take time to read God’s word, and Pray more. The good Lord takes care of his believers.

“There is a difference tho between influence and out right possession.”

Yes. I think Christians can be influenced by demons at times, but can’t be possessed. The Holy Spirit’s presence prevents that.

Your experiences in the Amazon remind me of stories several of our missionary friends would tell that gave us kids nightmares - literally. They dealt with demons often.

And when we lived on Maui, our church secretary was a good friend. She told of a visitor to her office when she was alone, obviously possessed. She saw something / someone at the same time that she refused to talk about.

A lot of spiritual (not in a good way) things go on in Hawaii.
