You know, since age 20, I've wanted to be in full time ministry, and have had dreams off and on thru out my past years until a few years ago, where God had me facing people who were strongly influenced or possessed by demons, only to drive them out and needing to face the demons personally and work to defeat them after that.
One of my first tests of this, happened with a guy I met thru an ex girlfriend who could call demons into himself. tho the demon was driven out and finally defeated, it was quite a painful experience my first time around. (That was years ago in my late 20's).
Let me know your thoughts. God Bless!!

Brian,
Hello brother! I tried to respond yesterday, but something on my computer system was not permitting me to respond in these forums! (?)
Anyway, I am back, and operational again!
To answer your question, and I will double check my facts, I wouldn't know why you would have to personally fight the very demons the LORD rebuked through you!?
I do know we should never stand in proxy for someone...
If the LORD uses you to deliver people of these demons, why would He allow them to subsequently attack you, unless you somehow were allowing them too...
A good teaching would be John Paul Jackson's Needless Casualties of War. This may be a good question for Pastor Jerry. He is much more versed than I with these types of things.
Give me a few more details for this phenomena...
Be in peace, my brother, and may the LORD bless you abundantly!
Semper Fi!

I don't know when that was you had problems with trying to respond on these forums, but I had trouble just getting logged in at one point out of the blue. Please let shawn know, as I got re-passworded finally to get back on again. He spoke of some problems he would talk to thier technical guy about, which included mine now too.
Secondly- You probably don't remember my early years were done doing this as unsaved. I knew what I knew, but not always enough, besides being unsaved. I can see why, looking back now. God declares a minister should never be a novice.
I served God the first 7 years unsaved, in which the last half of those I decided , not knowing I was lost to God, I would, with God's Word, start helping people with this problem.
This is why I have two testimonies Bill. the one with demons starts back in my 11-13 year range helping my older brother with seances, ouija board use and much more, which I realized later and renounced in my early 20's. this isn't even the tip of the iceberg my friend.
God Bless and thanks for the responce.

Brian,
Hello brother! Sounds like you have just answered your own question!
That is a true testimony! There is power in the name of Jesus, and not everyone who does work in His name will be known by the LORD! This is a perfect example, and a really good testimony.
Praise God, that you are walking as you are now!
Be in Peace, my brother!
Semper Fi!

Brother Bill-
You have no idea just how scarey and shocking it was for me to find out after 3-4 years of boldly doing that, if had been killed in any of those confrontations, I'd been lost to Hell.
For as strong and tough as I thought and others too of myself at that time, I nearly fainted when learned the Truth.
In the ministry after recieving Salvation, I spoke of my best closest friend of the life he lived unsaved. Many don't realize, as I pointed out, it's truely amazing, yet terribly sad also, a person can live unsaved, yet walking "in the light of the Lord", by God blessing others for these people's heart for others. Yet, in the end, because they are not saved, the "light" is not in them and they still go to Hell at death.
Praise God, thru my next closest best friend, his next younger brother and I, God told us Marv was unsaved. We got info to him and later helped him a few days before he died, to accept christ as his Lord and Savior. (This was after two major attacks of different kinds, satan tried to kill him as well).
Told you my life was strange, yet interesting. God Bless Brother!!
