I never said Spirit FILLED people experience this. I believe FILLED by very definition implies there are degrees. Fullness disallows this to occur. Paul told the Ephesians to be filled with the Spirit. They already were Spirit baptized. So why did he say this? It is because one might have the Spirit of God but is not filled with it. The same people, including Peter, who were filled on the day of Pentecost were FILLED AGAIN in Acts 4. Again, this implies the same principle I propose about Spirit filling.

But the inflection in the context of Paul's words to the Ephesians speaks of being fully influenced by the Spirit of God through full yielding to Him. That disallows any chance for anything evil to work. But without that full yieldedness to the Spirit of God, there are opportunities the devil can work on until one has yielded to sin so much that a spirit can enter.

So, having the Holy Ghost is not necessarily being filled with it. And we must understand man is spirit, soul and body, and only the Human Spirit is born again and one with His Spirit when Spirit baptized. The SOUL is not a phyiscal place any more than the human spirit is. And the soul is the mind. Our minds can be dark although we have the Spirit of God in our spirits. And the enemy finds "place" in anything that is darkness. Darkness does not mean a spirit is there, but it could lead to it.

I've heard about it but never seen it personally. I did see a woman get sick and begin throwing up while we prayed trying to cast a demon out of her.

I think I remember you talking about this before.

Do you mind sharing more of the story?

Amen, no one who is filled with the Holy Ghost can be filled with Legion.

Bible says you CANNOT serve two masters. You will only allow one to lead you.

That kind of story can get messy.

I have seen it happen. And the demon had an actual form, although not easy to describe. And you could see it move around the church until one brother opened the door and it went outside.

I was a kid and not at the altar, just sitting in a pew looking around. I was probably among the few that actually saw it. I will never forget it though.

Not calling it a spirit in favor of not offending.

We are now in a feel good society, don't tell me anything unpleasant.

BTW...you can't cast out something that is not there.

To be honest I don't think there are a lot of people that have understanding in this area. Many do not want to be around anyone that has a spirit being cast out. And if they are not pleading the Blood of Jesus over themselves they shouldn't be.
