Signs of a Demonized Person

These are just some of the common signs of a demonized person. They are listed here as a reference.

Please note:
Not all of these signs have to be present for someone to be considered demonized; conversely, the presence of some of these signs does not necessarily mean the person is in fact demonized. However, if any of these signs and/or other sins (not listed here) are a recurring pattern in a person's life, I would suspect that this person has a demonic stronghold.

For example, it is possible for someone to be depressed (for instance, at times of mourning the loss of a loved one, etc.) and NOT be demonized. However, if a person has a recurring problem with depression, this is a spiritual problem. You should always be careful and sensitive when evaluating whether or not demons are the cause of these conditions in a person. As always, rely on the Holy Spirit for discernment!
