does possession come gradually? what are the symptoms?

If this is more than ordinary uncertainty...or "spooking yourself" it will get progressively worse...Have you recently engaged in any questionable occult activities or met people that are such? This is no small thing....things just start falling apart...Fear rises and fuels more things.. Get away... If you have ever known Jesus Christ in a personal way turn back to Him now...If not, He is the only One that has more authority than these destructive forces of darkness in this earthly domain. Call on His Name Now. He will respond as a Deliverer and Savior. He is brave and able. He cares. Call on Him....right now.

If you are asking if possession of a soul by a demonic entity is possible?..My answer would be yes...Unfortunately there are some who are susceptible or who allow or who fall into a situation that sets them up to become susceptible. In turn this allows a portal or doorway in themselves to be opened for these..evil spirits to gain access....but of course..these types of things are very rarely spoken about and hard to believe..unless of course.. you are wittness to the what may be rare, or not so rare..but certainly, ugly event..Therefore I must in turn say , yes I believe in exorcism.

Adverse possession is what is commonly called "squatter's rights." Basically, if you openly use and control land that you do not actually own, after a certain period of time (which varies from state to state), you own the land and can file a "quiet title" action and receive legal rights to the land. If at any point during that period the rightful owner evicts you or files suit to force you to leave, the clock begins ticking again.

It depends on the sect.  Some still don't believe it and chalk it up to demonic possession.  But most see it for what it is, an illness that needs proper treatment.

I'm sorry that you are going through such a scary thing.  Yes, I believe demons are real because I have had some pretty crazy experiences with them myself.  I doubt that the spirit is actually trying to possess you.  Full blown possession is very rare, especially in America, although there have been some actual cases.  Chances are, the spirits are just trying to harass you.  I had a friend that was going through this exact same thing.  She even felt whatever it was sit down on the bed and saw the impression.\n\nThe good news is that as a Christian, you have the right and the responsibility to tell this thing to leave your alone and to leave your house.  Here's what you do:\n\nFirst, ask God to reveal to you any sins that may have allowed this spirit entrance to your house. It could be anything from a repetitive sin or bringing an artifact home from a vacation (this is what happened to another friend of mine). It could also be from allowing certain people that carry spirits with them into your house.  Then, ask God to forgive you and truly repent for this sin. If you don't come up with any sin, ask God to show you how this spirit gained access.  \n\nNext, you can do this alone or bring over some of your Christian praying friends.  Ask God to protect you.  Then, start claiming your rights.  Go in each room and say something like, "I'm a Christian, a child of God, and Jesus gave us the ability to cast out spirits in His name."  Faith is the key here.  You MUST have faith that you have this right.  Say it with authority.  Not yelling, but authority.  Practice before hand if you have to. Then begin to ask God to fill your house with his glory.  Then, command the spirit to leave by saying something like "Spirit, I command you to leave this house in Jesus' name. "  \n\n The spirit you described does not sound very strong.  No matter what happens while you are praying, keep praying and don't get scared.  If it will help you build courage and faith, read through scriptures where Jesus or the disciples cast demons out.

Yep, just takes awhile like most everything.\n\nNext time (and there will most likely be a next time, if you have one already), try to attack it early on. \n\nMake sure you are consistent with keeping in on at all times, so the medication can do it's thing.

I've never seen anyone possessed. But yes.....I have felt ghosts. Certain family members....My self and my mom and brother can feel when they are around. Especially when my Dad is around! It's like I could reach out and touch where he is.  You know when you can sense that someone is standing near you.......say in back of you....or you can tell that someone has walked into the room when your eyes are closed. Same feeling. And it usually is the feeling that you associated with that person.......you recognize the energy! It's very cool! A ghost is just a natural transition of the human condition. We are spiritual beings having a physical experience. When that experience is over........we transition back into the spirit form. All very natural. Nothing spooky!

Baby , you need to get it out or you will become sick and depressed!\nI was the type of person who used to hold things in, and my life became a living hell!\nTry writing things done on paper, and this might help, but in the mean while, start working on using your mouth to communicate!

That's a clear sign of depression- or laziness. Deal with stuff, and you won't feel so overwhelmed by it. Just take things one at a time as they come up. Maybe a psychologist could help you find a way to overcome that.

no...it will only strenthen their resolve to get away from you because they will deem you a possessive control freak...if you love something, set it free, if it comes back, it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was, good luck, hon.\n\n♀ ☼ ☻ ☺ ♫ ♪ ♥ ♀ ☼ ☻ ☺ ♫ ♪ ♥ ♀ ☼ ☻ ☺ ♫ ♪ ♥

If someone genuinely loves you they will not try to own you.  They will encourage you to do whatever makes you happy.  They won't smother you with their love because love isn't about possession, it's about letting someone free to find what makes them happy.  Genuine love is very rare but you will know the differece when you see it.x

The term is usually "possession is 9/10ths of the Law".  It means that possession of something shows ownership and is agreed up 90% of the time by the legal system.  But that was back when people were more honest and had a conscious.  The general public respected the law and people's property.

My neighbor's 7 year old is possessed by an evil demon.  He starts fires and breaks windows and was diagnosed with ADHD.  I say it's the devil.  He screams and screams when he wants his way and his parents are at their whits end.  I definitely believe in demon possession from that experience.....)(

Two issues. One is what the deeds say. The other is a concept called adverse possession.\n\nAdverse possession says that if you claim land for a long period of time (10-20 years), and actually use, then you get to keep it. It's more complicated than that in practice, but that's the idea.\n\nThe issue will get decided by a court. If you care about the seven feet, then you should consult with an attorney. She'll probably recommend filing what is called a "Quiet Title" action. That asks the court to settle any issues regarding property ownership.
