| Posted 3/5/2003 2:44 PM (GMT -6) |   | Hello my brothers and sisters,
My name is Stevo and i've got a question to ask about a certain demonic presence that i believe is oppressing a Christian friend of mine. Last Saturday he started manifesting voices over the phone and even though he now claims it was a joke many of the things he's saying are ver odd for him to say, things specifically anti-Christian. He's determined not to ever step foot in church again and talks about the Bible like its worth only throwing into the trashcan.
Obviously i'm really worried about him. i've already done research on this for the last few years (but he just manifested last Saturday), including reading Ed Murphy's book on spiritual warfare.
This is my question: he keeps repeating the name Mephistophiles, which i recognize is Greek. Now i did a search for it on the net and came up with this site:
http://www.deliriumsrealm.com/delirium/mythology/mephisto.asp
i know this dude is really into literature as well so it's possible he could have run across the story of Faust and adopted the name and is pretending the whole thing. Or, it may be that (as they frequently do) a demon may simply be impersonating that form, taking on its characteristics.
Does anybody have any information on a real Mephistophiles manifestation? i would appreciate any info anyone can give me.
Thank you, and always be blessed in our Lord, Jesus Christ!
Stevo

| Posted 3/5/2003 8:38 PM (GMT -6) | | We have a devout Christian on this board who goes by the username Mephi2K (mephistopheles), so the name isn't to foreign. I don't know much about demon possession, or about your friend, so I can't make an inference on what it possibly could be. I just hope he hasn't blasphemed the spirit, because all of our prayers won't really help. But I will keep hope alive and pray for him.
Blessings,
Paul

I have no information about a demon named Mephistopheles, but if I were you I wouldn't fixate on it. Demons lie anyway. I would have as many people as you can find who care about your friend pray over him to rid him of the entity. Since some demonic manifestations are in whole or in part also psychological problems, I 'd encourage your friend to get counselling as well.
Hang tough
Greg
PS. I don't know why A Theist worried that your demonized friend may have committed the unforgivable sin. I won't if I were you.
