it is possible..... nothing new under d sun...he who is in contact with d spiritual, spirits reveal themselves to.....a spirit can tamper with d natural.... dats y they are spirits.....she is a vessel and she can b used by them.....spiritual abilities surpass d human reasoning and logic!!!

This on the other hand defines a spirit

1 Cor. 15:44-46

It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being, the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.

Like I said before, spirits at one point were the embodiment of living beings, demons on the other hand did not have physical characteristics though we all group them together.

More chapters on Demons

Matthew 12:24-29

All the people were astonished and said, “Could this be the Son of David?”

24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”

25 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? 27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Prince of the Demons Belzebub is one of the rulers of darkness

Hello to you!

I actually find this sms story less plausible than some of your examples because "possession" requires a human agent (I dont believe in possession, I accept that humans can be mentally unhealthy) and SMS can only be sent if it was pre-scheduled by a human agent.

At the burning bush, it wasn't the fire speaking. The Bible said the voice sounded like it was coming from the fire. Moses was used to Egyptian "magic" (which was likely mostly illusions) so that was a good backdrop for God to reach out to him through his curiousity.

As for Balaam, I doubt it's impossible to conceive that God made him see and hear things, but the donkey itself wasn't talking. The end result of his hallucination thus panned out as desired.

In my opinion, every "miracle" or supernatural occurence has an explanation, it's just probably above the observer's reference point, or do I say: paygrade?

After a while, popular science and general knowledge may catch up, and that's when people will stop saying "It's impossible!" then start saying "Those were cheap tricks". So which one is it?

So whatever means being used to send the sms is natural, we are simply not cognizant of how the feat is achieved.

We now can speculate about illusions today as far talking bushes etc are concerned, knowing a little more about the natural world than the bronze age authors of these stories. In a millenia our descendants could be doing the same with regards to these magical sms'; the demons are simply using/hacking with technology we do not yet know of.

Note, actually even today simple network issues, cons, some sort of psychosis or even a combination of these and more could conspire to produce this result. However, even if this truly were a mystery to us in today's world, you cannot just discard it. You are now obligated to accept any and every single claim, as every single unexplained phenomena can be now be attributed to ignorance.

In other words, every sort of nonsense is now acceptable. So this really changes nothing. Evidence has now become useless.

All that said my problem isn't with folk like you, good ser, it's with sheeple. Though I fear that's a doomed avenue....

I leave you with this final thought, the different demonic princes, their subjects, warriors even those who battled Archangel Michael.

proevan: Op I am trying to think of a scripture to back this your experience, anyone at-all and I will agree totally with you. Can you share ?

and u can't find any.
Must everything that happens be about your book? Can't u Christians use common sense to solve problems. Am sure u would need your Bible to complete a puzzle game

ajayikayod:

Bro, his claim doesnt hav a root in d word of God. Actually u sef has demonstrated how far u r from understanding the same bible.
See, ur claim doesnt make the word of God false or more true. Ur claims daily, only expose to me how much of it u need to truly understand all u think u kno.

You understand these claims? Ok, please explain away ballam etc. I prefer you start with this though; can omnipotent god build a rock so heavy even he could not lift it up.

Many more available, just start with these.

I hope you aren't going to invoke 'mysteriossnessese'?

could be a prank. sms can be sent online using any number/name as sender. also could be manifestation as if they could come to sleep with girls then, what else(gen 6:2). however that is no cause to call all strange events spiritual. science exists

Joagbaje:
Have you ever experience kindom of darkness sending you an SMS ,or a demon? I have had some experience while ministering to some cases. But I want to sample opinion first before I give details of my experience .

If you have heard of such experience or you have actually experience such. Either as a threat or whatever the content .


I have had 2 experiences . The first one happened when minitered to a young woman Several spirits were cast out of her. But I wasn't through with her because it took a long time so we had to take a break to finish up the following day. But the following day ibegan to recieve series of SMS from "THEM" insulting me and warning to keep away from her, that she belong to them.

At first, I thought it was a prank from her, then few minutes before our appointment I began to recieve SMS from her line that I should not deliver her, that she belong to them , Then they said they were inside her phone using it to warn me.. I replied saying christ has delivered her already .her body soul and spirit belong to Jesus .

Now this is the funny part . She came I asked who was sending me SMS through her phone . She said nobody , she said she was only surprised to see SMS from me. I collected her phone . Suprisigngly i only saw my replies. There was no trace of the messages sent from that phone ,Then she said she doesn't even have credit at all since day before . I then took the phone again and checked the balance 0:00 kobo ! . That's my firsts experience .

The second experience I had to send someone else to the person house few block away to call her, she was deeply sleeping yet, I was Receiving warning messages from the phone . This particular person was involved in witchcraft . Checking the phone only my responses were there . Yet ony phone both her SMS and mine are there , even till now

Op@ it is either this is a make up story or somebody is playing some tricks with u. I don't think a demon will have hand with fingers to be typing what u describe above. Don't try to fool anybody.

Sal C: @OP Is this a joke? If yes pls forward it to the Jokes section. If no, you can forward the SMS to my box. Can't wait to read an SMS from demons.

lol op na linus mba

I've heard some testimonies of people receiving calls from spiritual beings threatening them. One of This confessions was actually made by an evil spirit during the person's deliverance. I saw this live on Emmanuel TV. The Television station owned by Prophet TB Joshua of The synagogue church of all nations. The demon said that he called this person to warn him against his planned trip to the Synagogue, and the person being delivered even confirmed it after his deliverance that he received such threat call around midnight before his trip to the synagogue.

Let me share ma story weather u guys like it belive it or not 2day ago I saw a call on ma fone as I was about picking the call the fone stop ringing I called the number instantly no one pick the called,called thrice no one still pick the call that wen I begin to assume dis could be d demons calling ma line to knw if my phone is still accesible but no shaking I am fully loaded with the blood of jesus let them try again still waitin for they call will give u guys feed back leta!!!

Bibol: OP, could it be that the "demons" actually possessed the lady to send you the text messages in a state of unconsciousness? If you really want answers, let the lady you were trying to minister to request from the service provider, a recent log of her text messages or calls to your phone.
?

This is very possible especially knowing that someone manifesting during ministration is not himself and such person would say things that when you ask him later he will be shocked to know he said such things. In experienced in this and this and I battled with the assumption , it's very logical . But the problem was that there was no credit in the phone . Where did the credit fly from . I left the matter wondering . Until months later when I had the second experience and this time the person was sound asleep yet the phone was communicating with mine and they said or it said "WE ARE INSIDE HER PHONE"

Finally why I have also experience while ministering to some people who always having setback from promotion etc a demon speaking through them say things like " I AM BEHIND HIS FAILURES , I ENTER OFFICE COMPUTER AND DELETE HIS NAME FROM SO AND SO" so my conclusion if a devil can enter computer to delete name , he can enter phone to manipulate.

This is a typical 17th century nonsense we celeberate in Nigeria. If you must know, the girl is playing a huge prank on you dude. You guys are making my belief in almighty God dwindle by the day with your waggish activities that portray nothing but irrelevance and hogwash.

Your mates out there are 'fighting' academically to ensure there is new innovations every day, they are making varieties of huge research to perfect our world and probably emancipate you from your buffoonery. And you are there hallucinating on the impossible. Una get job at all?

which world?is it the one that is full of wickedness?that is going to destroy soon?

One thing I know is that demons are disembodied spirits, they need a body to inhabit or any object, in matt 8:28-32 you'll see that demons always look for a body to inhabit like when Jesus was about casting them out they cried out that they be cast into the swine. what i mean is that they need a body or object to operate, probably in this case it might be the girl was used by the demon to send the text whilst she wasn't aware of, because sometimes they can do that. But in all, the good news is that Jesus gave ur power over them. For the purpose of deliverance it would be easier if the person is convinced to give his/her life to Jesus so that the demons won't have any legal right when you command them out. I pray that God keeps us spotless and blameless before his coming.

GustavoFring: Lol

Don't make me laugh

Except you have witnessed an exorcism first hand it'll be very difficult for you to accept the OP, whether you're theist or not.

Once upon a time Nairaland religious section used to be a place where meaningful and intellectual discussions about different religions,faiths and worldviews occurred. it wasn't always pretty but ''intelligent' ideas were exchanged. Then Jesoul resigned, Manmustwac was summarily dismissed and Ajibam,HBG and Obadiah were the replacements.

Then the quality of discussion nose-dived but I never ever knew it would get to the point of nominating this topic for front-page.

Imagine if a sensible intellectual that is not a Nigerian,sees this topic on front-page as he is trying to join Nairaland, what will his views of Nigeria be?

Seun for pete's sake this kind of topic has no business on the front-page

@wiegraf:
LOOOL demon hackers!!

Maybe there must be some demons posting here on Nairaland sef.

Joagbaje:
What about the fact that only my SMS is showing in her phone and the second fact that there was no credit in the phone yet the phone was still sending messages few minutes before the meeting . When I send it will reply until I stopped responding if not it would continue and when I checked the credit , no credit for calls or SMS left. It was when the second case happened that I felt I should sample opinion .

Bros but it is possible to delete sent messages, and also some networks give free on-network SMS sometimes so you'll need no credit.

I never hear of demon wen dey buy credit sha. But ghosts make phone calls in Nollywood.

Wonders !!! All I know is dat demons can possess a person and cause him/her to do certain things. Its most likely that the demon made her to do what she did.

You have said what has been on my mind for a while now. Imagine the idiocy that is advertised these days on the front page. See how the West packages themselves? Thats why people long to travel abroad only to realise that there is a difference between Hollywood and real life.

Instead we portray our worst to the world.

When we are the subject of xenophobic attacks in other countries we must ask what image of ourselves we market abroad. What will the average person watching nollywood movies deduce about Nigerians?

What will the average person reading such unrestrained imbecility, like the OP think of Nigerians?

This nonsense is on the front page.

NA WA!

vislabraye: Wonders !!! All I know is dat demons can possess a person and cause him/her to do certain things. Its most likely that the demon made her to do what she did.

You know this how?

Bringing this topic to front page must be the work of the evil spirit. Cos we now have people that knows nothing about deliverance and demons giving ignorants opinion and some claiming to know while they are actually a confused fellow. Well that's all I can say for now. Will keep following for the sake of few reasonable contributions

It is absolutely horrible but alas Seun has done a proper market survey and these kind of topics bring in the traffic and hence the cashflow.

Why do you think there has been an embargo on skeptic and atheistic inclined topics on the front-page recently?

Its all about the cashflow bro
