Believe what you want. No problem with me.
But if I cast out demons, by whose authority is it done? Would satan cast out satan? A house divided against itself will fall.
I’ve encountered many demonic or dark spirits who tried to imitate the Angels of Light, but their is one thing they cannot fake or imitate. That is Love.
When an Angel of Light comes to you, your chest becomes full of Love. You get a warm Loving feeling flowing through your body.
My comment to anyone who thinks that I am doing harm, PLEASE PRAY FOR ME. I welcome any and all prayers. The more the better.
I pray daily for the Holy Spirit to enter me, to fill me, to teach me, to guide me, and to work through me. A demonic spirit would never do that. They are afraid of the Holy Spirit.

You got it! Praying for you, tired&retired, that you (and everyone here) find God’s Truth, repent and find Salvation through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; and that He protects you (and us all) from all deception, delusions, tricks and wiles of the evil ones. Thank you Lord Jesus that we may trust in You and Your Word alone.
Discernment In The Midst Of Deception
Loving Father, I know that we are living in days when there is so much deception that it is often difficult to know the truth. Deception not only in the world but in the Church, yet You have told us that if we know the truth, the truth will set us free.
Thank You, that I am already free form the bondage of sin and death and have my feet firmly planted on the Lord Jesus Christ. But I also ask that You would grant me discernment and an understanding heart to know what is good and true, and to be able to identify and reject what is false and deceptive.
Help me to test every spirit to see what is truth or whether deception is being peddled. Give me wisdom and understanding to discern the difference between truth and error, I pray. Thank You that You are not a God of confusion but the God of peace. Give me an understanding heart. In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.

Matthew 7:22-23 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
It seems that the Lord allows many who are not his own to borrow his name,power and authority to do good works as he wills. Yet these works won’t count for his acceptance of them as his own children in the day of judgment.
Also there is this...from Acts 19:13-17 “13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” 14 Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. 15 But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” 16 And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all[a] of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 And this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled.
God lends his authority to governments as wielders of the sword against evil doers!And his authority extends thru the parents of families! Many leaders are not Christian but may act in noble ways under God’s authority whether they are cognizant or mindful of that color of authority extended to and thru them.
Acting under his authority isn’t that hard to do as all are under the law of Moses if they are not under the grace of Christ.
This not to say Mr Tand R you may or not have anything to worry about with Christ. My comments are strictly about authority and who can wield it in Christ’s name! Your points about love are noted!
