Presumption Versus Spiritual Revelation
To anyone who knows the reality of demons, it is an obvious presumption that if someone has within him personalities that do evil without his conscious control or even his awareness, it must be demonic. But no matter how obvious it is to us, until one stops presuming and seeks the mind of God about a particular instance, it remains a presumption. And presumptions are dangerous. “Lean not on your own understanding,” (Proverbs 3:5 – see also these Scriptures) is wisdom that is both inspired and profound.
Surely if someone has intelligences within him that are not his, they must be demons. But what if the intelligences/personalities are not foreign entities after all? What if one’s mind has simply lost awareness of part of itself, like the mind can suppress memories and lose contact with that part of itself?
People can walk in their sleep and do weird, out-of-character things in their dreams, without it being demonic. It is possible for anyone’s deeply troubled mind to do anything else along these lines and it not be demonic?
Concluding that someone has a demon is such a grave matter that it demands extreme caution. As explained at the end of this webpage (see The Devastation of Mistaking an Alter for a Demon) mistakenly treating a part of a person as a demon can have appalling ramifications.
No matter how sincere the mistake, it is an atrocious offense to afflict a Christian who is already reeling in unfathomable agony by falsely accusing him/her of having a demon. (edited)
I guess I won't have to dissipate myself in order to please Yahweh after all
