Well. That's nice and prayer is good, but medications for a mental condition given by a competent doctor and monitored for compliance and care is a whole lot better.

I've only met one person who I could say was really in possession and that person scared the heck out of me. For one thing, this one could actually read my mind. I've met a lot of truly bad people who have done some very bad things to others, but I had no sense that they were under any control of other than their own free will.

There are miracles and prayer is excellent, but relying on prayer instead of medicine when God Almighty gave us the means is not advisable in many cases.

Medicine and prayer go hand in hand.

I too had a relative that I KNOW was possessed
He went from one psychiatrist to the next. Meds, the whole works.
Just a look from him would send chills down your spine
Of course nothing worked because the problem was spiritual,
and they never even addressed that.
He's gone now.

Take the advice of all these folks, but if he's possessed you'll know it,
because nothing they can do will help.

There are Christian exorcists if you can't get the Catholic church to help you.
Just don't wait until it's too late.

We'll be praying for you and him.
