After about 2 years I lost all the fruits of the spirit had no joy peace and felt like the holy ghost just left me maybe I greived the holy spirit or maybe he is just quiet but I haven't felt the holy ghost or felt like I even have the holy ghost in years. Since then I've had many mental breakdowns and was told i was demon possessed by my pasture. She tried to deliver me from the demons and said a few have left but I still have 1 left. We've tried multiple times and and she still thinks i have a demon in me. I was told if you have the holy ghost you cant be demon possessed. So that would have to mean if she's rite then I dont have the holy ghost anymore. I was wondering if I would ever get the holy ghost back or if maybe she is wrong and I still have the holy ghost but he's just been quite for years I really dont know and would appreciate some elders advice. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she told you that you are possessed, she doesn't know what she's talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your present church isn't doing it for you then you really need to examine yourself and your hobbies and/or start looking for a different one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. My reply is based on the above quote When a person confesses their sins to the Lord and puts their faith and trust in Jesus to save them, and cleanse them of all unrighteousness. God's word tells us He will indeed cleanse us of all unrighteousness. At that moment the Holy Spirit comes into our hearts to stay and be with us always. Since the Holy Spirit resides in a Christian, Satan cannot possess a Christian. One of Satan's tricks is to convince us that we messed up somehow and God has abandoned us. God assures us and promises us that he will never leave us or forsake us. God is not done with you. Feelings that God has forsaken us come from Satan who is our adversary. He is always trying to drive a wedge between us and God and one of his tricks is to convince you that your a loser and God is done through self condemnation. God will NEVER tell us to sin or tempt us to sin. He will NEVER lie to us. He will never tell you, that you are a loser. That kind of thinking comes from Satan Greater is He (God) who is in me, than he (Satan) that is in the world. 2 Corinthians 1 : 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. Mathew 28 : 20 And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." As to the church your attending, I agree that seeking another church to attend is a good idea. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Hi Rivers, Sorry to read about your troubles but they are actually working for good, to teach you to trust in God no matter what is happening and no matter how you are feeling. IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR YOU, Rivers: The Holy Spirit has not left you. I repeat, the Holy Spirit has not left you. If the Holy Spirit had left you we would not be having this conversation, and you would not be the least bit concerned about the Holy Spirit. You may have lost the joy and the peace of the Holy Spirit and the reason for this will be revealed to you in due course as you learn more about spiritual warfare and the need to put on spiritual armour in order to counter the attacks of Satan and his demons. Back in Paul's day the congregation at Ephesus strayed from the number one rule of Christian faith, "Love the Lord you God with all your heart, and soul, and strength, and mind;" but God gave them the opportunity to repent and return to serving Him out of love for Him. Rev 2:1-7 (1) "To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, 'These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: (2) "I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; (3) and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary. (4) Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. (5) Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. (6) But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. (7) "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God." ' I hope and pray you will keep trusting God, and that you will allow Jesus to lead you through the valley of the shadow of death and into His green pastures beside His still waters. Love from Michael37. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt speak in tounges or start shaking or anything like that but I knew it was from god. Since you were confessing your sins and believing on the Lord as your Savior, this was when you were born again (saved). The Holy Spirit then entered your heart/life. The Holy Spirit will never leave you. Also, we do not go by feelings. Feelings can come and go. Instead we believe what God has said in the Bible....have faith in what He has promised us. That means don't have faith in feelings but have faith in God. A Christian cannot become demon possessed. A Christian might be oppressed but never possessed. I agree with the others who recommend you find a new church. Look for a good Bible teaching church with loving members. Perhaps the combination of going by your feelings and a pastor telling you that you have demons has led to your mental breakdowns? A pastor should know that a Christian can't be demon possessed. Please seek a new church. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
