How Can We Tell When Someone is Demon Possessed?

In this short clip, Father Vince Lampert explains how, as an exorcist, he's trained to be skeptical of demon possession. This clip comes from a longer interview I did with him.

6:40 Of these four indications of demon possession, the first three are also attributed to the Holy Spirit
- Speaking and understanding languages unknown to the individual. This is also attributed to the Holy Spirit, in particular during the first Pentecost as described in Acts.
- Superhuman strength. This is also attributed to God in the story of Samson.
- Elevated perception or knowledge. This is also recognized in discernment, prophecy and visions/dreams, as described all over the Bible.
- Aversion from the holy (blessed water, crosses, or bibles). This is the only clear indication I can tell, but without the former three can also be a very hurt or bitter atheist.

What a lovely priest ❤️ you can tell he’s telling the truth. There’s no ego here.

[ChrisGarcia.]

I’ve dealt with these things before and it’s not fun. Demons are real. This priest is legit. This is awesome channel love your content.

[sherimelton]

This is a great interview and convincing that there are demons. The devil doesn’t want anyone to believe that hell exists, and if people don’t believe that demons exist, they sure won’t believe in hell.

I truly find fault with the policy of sending a person who is struggling with possession to a psychologist first. The fault I find with it is the psych professional will always find the person delusional or psychotic, hallucinating, etc and they will instantly prescribe psyche meds which are super harmful bodily and mentally to these poor souls.

I have a friend who was visbility delivered and healed of seizures. The deliverance completely changed her life.

When I was atheist, I went into depression for a year, to the point that I thought "This is the last day I do this. If something doesn't happen by the end of this day..."...that night, thinking of my problem .."something" spoke to me "Why don't you call out to God?"...I thought back, well, because I don't "believe" in God?...so, I continued until I came to the end having nothing to help. I then said...okay..."God, help me"...Instantly something happened. The depression was totally lifted, and...I felt "something" leave...a spirit of some kind. I realized later it was a demon of some kind. I wonder now if it's more prevalent personally.

Angels/ Demons have existed way before religion was born. Ancient Civilizations have folklore about these beings and it's not as black and white as the masses believe.

[mikeyerian]

Wouldn't that be preternatural strength, not supernatural strength?

[Thundawich]

So ignoring the first step of ruling everything else out (Dumb way to diagnose something but lets more on), what language was the 7 demons lady speaking/understanding?

What is the difference between possessing and strong hold. It is possible to have a spirit attached to you, but not possessing someone? I think I use to have a spirit attached to me. I have had a lot of people die in my life, like 20+ close people. Quite a few were murdered, some were brutal. I also have had bad luck with life in general. Foster home, breaking my neck, a court error cost me $230 a week of a $9 an hour job, while getting 3 flat tires, and having to walk. I had to work 3 jobs at 92 to 100 hours a week. It landed me in the hospital. The courts were flagging my taxes, and threatening to arrest me, and suspend my license. Then my ex tried to take me for more child support. All while I was trying to help a sister leave an abusive ex, and dealing with a friend that was murdered. She was found buried under her ex boyfriends shed. Plus trying to take care of myself from where I broke my neck. Life only got better after I got married. It was like the spirit didn't like her. I went from being homless and living in a camper in my dads yard, to a house and 2 cars. What do I need to do, to help keep spirits away, if that was the cause of a painful past? I want to cover all possibilities.

Hi..on 19/11/2014 I was physically executed during my hospital appointment under instructions of then CEO, lawyers, team of Drs my ordeal was captured on their video cameras. On way with the bus before me and the early nurses reached the hospital a fire broke out on the 6th floor..a black darker than usual smoke bubbled out the hospital window. A body with horns and a hand reaching out...a demon..a thought came in my head that is your hospital papers the lies burning out. I looked in amaze as a nurse ask what floor is that and I replied instantly 6th floor...on arrival at the 6th floor

Type in Streetministries Seven on YouTube. Guys a street evangelist/exorcist. Encounters alot of intense demon possessions in the streets. Hes a friend of mine. I think how he finds out if a persons possessed is he just starts calling out demons as a test to see if anything happens and if they start manifesting he goes from there.

Theres a video of him running into a lady who manifests claiming to have "The Legion" inside her. It's a pretty interesting video for sure.

*MOBILE LEGENDS / CROSSFIRE / DUNGEON FIGHTER / AMONG US*

i had an opportunity to chat with a demon-possessed online gamer

the young man told me that he was manifesting a number of those demonic signs before his family brought him to an exorcist

luckily, he was exorcised & was set free from the demonic possession

i asked him what's the demon's entry point?

he answered back: "from his addiction to online gaming"

after that terrible & unforgettable experience, he's now a "keyboard warrior" espousing the evils behind online gaming

he's dedicated to promote about the dark, shady characters & the unknown dangers lurking behind every online games

yes, online gaming could be so much fun, but could also be a possible entryway to demonic possession

it's so *blinding*

honestly, i didn't know anything about it 'till i heard his unique case

even as i write, i am still clueless about it

all i know, a number of young people had perished from addiction to online gaming (natural causes & health reasons)

demonic-possession due to online gaming is perhaps, a new 21st century battlefield -- the good vs. the evil

[heidicat]

I need help my brother is possesed straight up... the demon has attacked our family for years

[SlavicUA]

I'm sorry but where in the bible does it mention a "demon" leviathan? I only know of the leviathan mentioned in Job. And where does the catholic church get the teaching to sprinkle "holy water" during an exorcism?

[FrancesShear]

Isn't it true that anyone who believes that the practice of torturing a prisoner to get information is a useful thing to do must be demon possessed? Or would saying that carry the risk of false accusations against them which say that they are the one who is demon possessed as all of the demons are projecting the truth about themselves onto the believer in good instead of torturing?

[jeremysalmons]

What would be some of the tell signs that a person has been possessed or tranzed...

[nintailsvortex]

I have a question when I was younger I had time were I spays out an end up somewhere else an I don't even know how I keep ending up in the woods

[spirituallyL]

Is a refusal to shower demon possession
