Like "Boink" I also found this site and signed up for this specific issue. Often when I look at myself in the mirror I think I'm seeing a demon (or some very ugly presence - yeah, a demon, what else could it be?). This has happened many times over the years. When it happens I don't even get surprised anymore. Of course, I wonder if it really is a demon, and "is there a demon inside me which can look back at me when I look into my face in the mirror?" or "Maybe if it is something spiritual, there is not a demon inside me but something about the use of a mirror whereby a demon can APPEAR to be in me..." (etc.)
Sometimes I do wonder - because it has happened so many times - if I myself (my imagination) can be contributing to this phenomenon...
I'm sorry I don't have many answers - only that I do share this experience, and often wonder what it could mean...
I am a Christian and so of course comes the question as to whether a believer can be possessed, and possibly I am seeing "my demon" that lives in me (or whatever). And of course that possibility bothers me because I don't want any part with demons or Satan or evil spirits, etc.
I think the standard doctrine on this is that believers can be "oppressed" by demonic spirits - but not possessed.
I have a friend - also Christian who shared with me that a deliverance minister once cast out at least one demon from him. He is a trustworthy brother in Christ and I don't doubt that he believes this happened but nevertheless I hope it is true that believers cannot have a demon (inside them).
I wonder what other Christians would say? Should someone having this experience seek deliverance? To whom would you go?
Is it normal to look in the mirror and think you are a demon?
