What is Demonology and a Demonologist?
Mood:  sharp
Topic: Introduction
When a person hears that I am a "Demonologist", the first conception is that I study demons. In a way, that is true, but not out of a sick interest or a insane desire. It is because this is where my life has led me. I would much rather live a "normal" life, as a father, husband, man of God, worker in the employment field...But I have been shown truth time and time again. Do I ignore it and go on? I don't know if anyone could do that. Knowing what I know now, I needed to make a conscious choice- turn away, ignore all I have seen and experienced; go about life as if there was no realism to Spiritual Warfare...or fight for our lives and souls- help others seek and find Jesus so that they will be protected and Saved. Reading this, I think you know what I chose.


A common belief is that Demonology is as a branch of magic that deals with malevolent spirits. Not true at all. There is no "magic" involved! Demonology is a study of demoniacal phenomena; dealing with demons, through text (The Bible) and other resources, as well as on-hand experience with them. How a person decides to use that information he gains, bases if he is a Demonologist or not.


A Demonologist, like myself, is a person who has knowledge and experience with demons in this realm, and utilizes that knowledge to deal with the existence of them in this realm. Demonologists are also considered exorcists, as we cast out demons from people's lives. Demon possession is a very real occurrence. It is when a human has become inhabited or "taken over" by a demon and who cannot, consequently, exercise his own will. I do not know all the answers, nor will anyone. But we shoulkd never give up trying to learn more, because the more we know, the more we can help! and be safe ourselves.

I am a strong believer and follower in Jesus Christ. It is only by His Name and Authority, do I have the authority to deal with and cast out any demons in this world. All anyone needs is true faith in Him, as well as a lifestyle to prove we are worthy of this authority and power- to confront demons in the Name of Jesus, to get them to leave. But of course not all of us would have the stomach for this work.

Now you will find lists of demons- names, types, why they do things, and even ideas of when and how. Do not go by what you read as truth, unless it comes from the Bible.

You can go just about anywhere today, even public libraries, to read about the existence of earthbound spirit phenomena- including negative/evil ones. Knowledge has been laid out thanks to work done over the past century by reputable research organizations and individuals. But, proper and correct information about demons remain difficult to come by. So many people have websites and books, theories, etc...based on their belief, but not advanced and vast study. One must be careful where they go for information on this subject. Much is quite misleading. But I do believe, knowledge is power, and more so, for protection. The question is no longer if demons are real, but, how exactly they interact with our lives. I am telling you, first hand, I know they do, and their presence is dangerous to us- spiritually, emotionally and physically.

You will find most books of the occult, referencing demons, giving an array of definitions and scenarios. Depending on who you talk to, is what credence is given. When you dwell in religion, the subject became history, present and future- quite real, serious and most frightening. Not a novelty. Why will most churches and priests turn down a subject of this, other than with their superiors? For all that the world has embraced- occultism is welcomed and the truth denied.


I have been told by church officials that I am "playing with fire". Well, yes, this is true. I have been told by religious superiors "I wouldn't do what you do". I have been warned that my family and myself are in mortal danger, confronting demons in peoples' lives. I have been advices by many "leave it up to God". All true as well. But this is the work God has given me, and I have faith that because I do His Work, He will protect me. Everything is by His Will, not mine.

We all have positions in this life. I have found mine.
