When Jesus saw an evil spirit in someone, He would often cast it out. The person would be left with the choice to let evil invade again or to protect himself with a "strong man" (The Holy Spirit is the strong man in me that protects me from such invasion).
This is close to what i believe, that it is sin that "ties up the strong man (likely a guardian angel) and in general, 95% of the time if i can see something in the spiritual realm, God has already granted me the authority to deal with it.
I do not believe in the strong man demon stuff. The parable is clear, the strong man is tied up for the house to be plundered. Houses refer to people and their lives, not demons.
Far as i can tell i have cast about a dozen demons out of unsaved people, behind their back. Some of whom i still see the improvement in a decade later. Others, such as the person i wrote about here: we don't cross paths enough to know for me to know for sure what is going on.

Reddit is NOT worth it. There are many groups that are useful but IMO the temptation to "Waste time." or think one can "save someone online" is absurd.
reddit is useful if God enables you to provide an individual person help. i've done this dozens of times and usually, they delete their posts after we talk privately.
I do remember seeing you post on reddit and i thought to myself how quickly is this person going to get banned.
I believe God is moving christians off of reddit, and, i don't know where to. RPChristians is dead, and i knew that would happen years before it did. its not because of reddit policies.
r/christian has a moderator who is not a christian and she has attempted to silence me but is unable to yet. The other christian moderators do not have any spiritual discernment and are not even aware that she selectively enforces rules to get people banned. I have spoken to a number of people she has banned.
r/christianity was never a christian subreddit, most of the moderators are atheists.
/catholicism.. well. its catholic, enough said.
r/deliverance banned me. they also banned the estranged wife of one of the moderators. i talked to her a good bit.. unfortunately, she has a demon and is unable to be reasoned with, says God doesn't love her, but she refused to get divorced because she is nominally christian and doesn't believe in divorce. one of the moderators provided me some pretty critical information back in march of 2021, but refuses to talk to me now, and it doesn't make any sense why. unless he realized what he told me was false and doesn't want to acknowledge it.
from time to time people create new christian pentacostal-ish subreddits and invite me to them, but they all die out immediately because it is likely not God's will that anyone post any authentic spiritual information on the internet publically.
-and that's the actual reason christian forums are dying.
