Dear Concerned;

I can sense the fear in your e-mail. Fear is the weapon of the enemy. Fear comes in many forms; fear of losing loved ones, fear of demons, fear of attack.

You need to replace the fear with God's love and protection. Know that God loves you. Know that you are special to him. Replace that fear with confidence in the knowledge that your creator reigns supreme. You must develop that unwavering belief that what happens, happens by God's plan.

Then you can use a calm and peaceful mind, and ascertain if this is really a demon, or just someone using evil for their own ends. I suspect it is the latter.

I would also make a concerted effort to let those close to you know that you love them. Spread God's love from within you to everyone you meet. That is the true way to battle the enemy and win.

May God's love shine on all your days.

Rev Bill

I post RevBill comments in agreement.
Fear is definitely the enemy's weapon and our ignorance enables
it's effectiveness.

Know Your Creator!
His loving plan for you, and your loved one is absolute and unalterable.
If you can embrace it as so, this is a threshold moment
for you.

As far as "the demon Belial", "demons" as even "legion" is concerned:
Demons exist in the darkness of our ignorance and are fueled by
our fears.

Regardless of a demons' name, they manfested out of
only a few mindsets:

Destructive Emotions
Negative thoughts
Cherished Delusions
Clever Falsehoods

All of these mindsets can cause us to act out the will of evil and react to the evil behaivors of others, in hurtful ways.
Knowledge of always being from the same creator and in the creator's unchanged plan to remove our fears...this knowledge is something that can help shift our fears to faith.

Only the truth can defeat evil (Belial) because evil torrorizes our ignorance with lies.
Know Your Creator and Father.
"Belial" knows you are The Creator's Child
Be "the child" of your creator.


My The Father's Peace Be Yours

I'm going to take a different approach and say stop watching the Exorcist.

Brian, I like your approach, even better mine.

the answer is simple belial is a greater daemon. to defeat a greater daemon depending on your faith you need a greater good a deceased spirit an archangel, a beneficial daemon spelled differently from demon for a reason, the god and goddess the watchers the list goes on and on. anyways the point is greater evil vs greater good, and greater evil loses. belial cannot stand up to good. second there is someone who is abusing his abilities to sick belial on someone as is recorded in occult tomes the second best weapon is laughter evil only has power with fear laughing breakes his power, and renders him unable to act. i study the occult enough to know this much.

A demon is alive only in your mind. A demon is a very strong subconscious belief in a matter of evil. It has come into the mind either by word from another or from self imagination. It is a false belief in a power greater than God. The only power of a demon is the belief placed in it.

Demons are "cast out" by replacing the false belief with truth. Demons are often placed in the mind by others who want to exert control over you. It is a scare tactic similar to the old hellfire and brimstone threats of the past made by some preachers.

In truth and reality, the Word from God must come into the mind to cleanse the mind of the sin of believing a lie. This is the will of God, that you dwell in peace, love and joy. God has established a way for this to be your life.

The apostle John wrote of this matter in saying;



Align your will with the will of God. Learn truth from God. Learn that perfect love casts out all fear and with this, the demon. There is truth in the quote; "There is nothing to fear but fear its self." It is your fear that feeds the demon.

The physical body responds to and obeys the dictates of the mind. God has established the physical body with the ability to heal. God has also established a way for the healing of the mind and spirit.

There is nothing in the physical you can do to rid yourself of this strong belief. It is a spiritual matter. There is no stronger power than the Spirit of God. If then the Holy Spirit dwells in you, it is not possible for an evil spirit to also dwell in you.

It is the Word from God that cleanses the mind. The Word of God is truth and when believed, removes all beliefs that contradict the Word of God. Faith must be in the Word of God and no longer in an erroneous belief in a matter that is not true.
