I always did understand!!! My post was not to you! ?

We do not know when the end will come, nor the hour or the day! Only Jehovah & Jesus do! We should not be anxious but patiently waiting on Jehovah's Day. It will come as a thief in the night so we must stay awake and keep watch as Matt 24:42-44 reminds us.

Wow, how interesting to read all of this. Mental illness and Spiritual illness are very different! I have suffered from them both, however I have never heard any voices. On the other hand my daughter has, she is 32 years old and my granddaughter who is 12 has as well. My family has a long history of mental illness and NO WE ARE NOT DEMON POSSESSED! My grandson has Epilepsy since he was 2 years old,my mother suffered from Schizophrenia. Now I must say the only people in this picture here that are in the "truth" are me and my daughter. It may at sometimes feel that Satan is causing the illness we have or some of its effects on us but clearly it is not. Satan may cause us to think more of our self then necessary, feeling we are to sick or we may blame him. He can influence a person more while in this state. It may be true that in some cases Satan can cause some to hear see and feel things, however I believe this influence is much different then truly diagnosed Mental Illness. I am not saying that mind altering drugs or medication can not open the way for demon possession because it can. I am just saying that Mental Illness is not Demon Possession. We just have to rely on pray and supplication to rid our self of any feeling of this.
