We don't have demonic possession anymore as we used to have before Pentecost (Urantia Book 77:7. What we have are cases of demonic oppression, not possession. There is a big difference. Strong or severe cases of demonic oppression may look like demonic possession, but they are not the same.
With demonic possession, rebel spirits are living inside the mind of the individual. This is not possible today because Thought Adjusters are now living in people's minds all over the world - in the minds of masses upon masses of people. Since Pentecost, Thought Adjusters (still, small voice within, the heavenly Father's spirit fragment) have been coming en-masse to indwelling mortals. Now add the outpouring of the Spirit of Truth upon all flesh.

For a human being to be demon possessed or possessed by any rebel spirit, his Thought Adjuster has to leave him, and the Spirit of Truth has to leave as well. In addition, he has to be cut off from the powerful influence of the Holy Spirit as well as the loving ministry of the angelic hosts. Such a case is very, very difficult, if not almost impossible to occur today. This is my understanding of these things.

We should not confuse demonic oppression with demonic possession. They are not the same. Also, some cases are not even demonic oppression. They are medical problems, psychiatric problems, psychological problems, mental problems, etc. You need the right knowledge, wisdom, understanding, counsel, courage, intuition, and a worshipful soul (worship) to be able to know or discern the difference. The seven adjutant mind-spirits come in very handy here.

Freedom From Demonic Influence or Demonic Oppression

People cannot be possessed by demons or rebel spirit beings today. But they can be troubled by them. They can be oppressed. To totally prevent or overcome demonic oppression, you need to walk by FAITH and LOVE - divine love. In short, you need to immerse yourself in *the fruits of the spirit.* This is your surest and greatest guarantee of total, 100% freedom from demonic oppression.

Today, some people, believers and unbelievers alike, are suffering from demonic oppression in one area of their lives or the other. They have allowed themselves, knowingly or unknowingly, to be entangled by negative energies, demonic, satanic spiritual circuits, demonic thought forms, etc...

Such brothers and sisters can be totally free as they grow in walking in the fruits of the spirit and in spiritual power. A quicker way to bring freedom, from my own experience in ministry is for someone else of greater manifestation of spiritual power and fruits of the spirit to pray for them. However, please, this does not substitute for walking in the fruits of the spirit. Rather, they go hand-in-hand.

Pray for them and pray with them. Distance cannot hinder such a prayer of faith. Even if they are miles apart, the prayer will still work. If they are standing face-to-face to each other, prayer by the laying on of hands or stretching your hands towards the individual does wonders.

I have prayed for people face-to-face and seen deliverance from demonic strongholds in their lives, taking place. Sometimes, the person may fall down and start shaking violently. Sometimes, you may even hear the rebel spirits speak using the person's voice. This can happen even though the individual is NOT demon possessed. Sometimes, it's not even a rebel spirit speaking. Sometimes, it's the troubled mind of the person speaking... This is a little complex or complicated matter.

Sometimes, I am taken up in the realm of the spirit; I travel long distances to meet people to pray for them and break demonic strongholds in their lives and in their communities. Sometimes, in a community, there may be negative, evil, demonic energies or circuits in a particular location, troubling the community. And God will send some faith-sons, faith-liberated souls: in the realm of the spirit, their souls with their Thought Adjusters will travel to the location and in partnership with other powerful and loving celestial beings, personalities and entities, they will shatter the negative, demonic energies to pieces and repurpose them to do good things.

Energy cannot be destroyed but it can be repurposed. It can be transformed and put to good use. Sometimes, the rebel spirits are not even literally present in a location, but their wicked energies or circuits are present. I know some Urantia Book students will argue against some of the things I have said. But I won't argue. Nothing beats practical, tangible experience. Just let me catch you one day face-to-face and then lay hands on you or have you see me lay hands on someone who is troubled by negative, demonic influence. Certain strongholds may manifest and be broken right before your eyes. Glory to God!

+ + +

Here, below, we see that although people cannot be demon possessed today, it is possible for them to be oppressed or troubled by demons or rebel spirit beings. It is possible for an individual to be cursed by their wicked presence - if he or she allows it. Sometimes, an individual can allow something without being very conscious of doing so. It is so important to always submit to the leading of your indwelling spirit, Thought Adjuster! It becomes so much easier to be spirit-led when you wholeheartedly commit to walking in the fruits of the spirit: loving service, peace, sincere fairness, joy, faith, undying hope, confiding trust, etc.

Urantia Book 53:8.6
"The last act of Michael before leaving Urantia was to offer mercy to Caligastia and Daligastia, but they spurned his tender proffer. Caligastia, your apostate Planetary Prince, is still free on Urantia to prosecute his nefarious designs, but he has absolutely no power to enter the minds of men, neither can he draw near to their souls to tempt or corrupt them unless they really desire to be cursed with his wicked presence."

Please, take a close look at UB 53:8.6. Right there, we learn that a wicked, rebel spirit CANNOT enter your mind and CANNOT corrupt your soul EXCEPT you really desire to be cursed with his wicked presence. Sadly, there are some people today who actually really desire to be cursed with the wicked presence of unclean, demonic spirits. These people wholeheartedly and persistently give themselves over to devils.
In such cases, the Thought Adjuster and the Spirit of Truth can leave that person. This makes it possible for a rebel spirit to enter the mind of the individual and to corrupt his soul. This is a very severe case of demonic oppression and can lead to demonic possession. Such cases are rare.

This is why I believe that even though demonic possession is a thing of the past, it is still possible IF someone really desires to be cursed with a demonic presence. Such a desire can get the Thought Adjuster and Spirit of Truth to leave. This makes the person open for all kinds of weird, demonic stuffs...

+ + +

Now, please consider this twist:
Rebel spirits can enter the mind of a man or a woman and terribly corrupt his or her soul IF HE OR SHE REALLY DESIRES TO BE CURSED WITH THEIR WICKED PRESENCE.
Now, how much more, if you really desire to be blessed by God's glorious, loving, and all-powerful divine presence?
Some people say they want God's presence and mighty spiritual power! But they do not yet walk in SPIRITUAL POWER. The key is YOUR DESIRE! Hallelujah!
How great is your DESIRE?
How really hungry are you for God?
This is what will determine the number of very, very powerful and very, very loving celestial beings that will come to you to embrace you, love you, bless you, protect you, guide you, empower you, etc, etc.
Please, what is the level and quality of YOUR DESIRE?
You can become very, very great and very, very powerful in God's kingdom, walking in love and spiritual power. It's all up to you!

Psalm 42:1-2b
"As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God."

As a result, he gives us the free gift of salvation and eternal life. This eternal life is the God-kind of life that empowers us and enables us to literally live forever. In order to fulfill your role in his eternal divine plan and purpose, you have to live forever. So, he gifts you his eternal life. Those who refuse to align with his will and way, ultimately cease to exist. He will not or cannot force them to work with him forever. So, goodbye. They are gone.  Yes, our salvation delivers us from sinning or living in sin. Nevertheless, even if Lucifer had never rebelled and even if we humans do not do very terrible things, we will still be in need of salvation and eternal life. To receive salvation is to be crowned a bonafide spiritual son of God. To receive eternal life or to have eternal life fully functional in your life is to be crowned with the ability to live forever, endlessly, ruling and reigning with the everlasting, ever-loving, all-powerful heavenly Father, the First Source and Divine Center.  We mortals are not created or born with eternal life inherent within us. And we were not born having the absolute, eternal perfection of God. Same goes for some celestial beings like Lucifer. If Lucifer and all other unseen beings who rebelled had the absolute, eternal perfection of "the Father in heaven", they would never ever had rebelled or sinned. The ability or tendency to sin would not have been present. Some of God's children or creatures, terrestrial and celestial alike... ...some... ...were intentionally not created with the absolute, spotless, infallible perfection of God. They were created with varying degrees of perfection and then commanded to EXPERIENCE LIFE and grow or evolve to become perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect. And there are amazing reasons for this. 

Demons are not gods. Brujería is not all-powerful. Obeah is not sovereign. Juju is not absolute. Witches are not eternal. Curses are not unbreakable. And fear? Fear is a parasite—it only lives if you feed it. Yes, spiritual darkness exists. But listen closely: it has already been defeated. What remains is not power—it is a program. A lie. A lingering echo. And that echo finds its resonance in your mind. > The battlefield is not the forest. Not the shrine. Not the crossroads. The battlefield is your thoughts. You say you believe in God, but when someone sweeps dust across your doorstep, you go mute with terror. You sing praises on Sunday and run to the babalawo on Tuesday. You wear crosses on your neck, but keep charms under your mattress. You name Jesus with your mouth, but crown your fears with your heart. --- Who gave these things power? You did. You empowered shadows because you forgot the Source of Light. You gave dominion to fiction because you disconnected from Truth. And just like Esau, you traded your divine inheritance—not for bread—but for folklore and fear. Now let me teach you with a story you think you know.

--- The Prodigal Son Was Never Cursed—He Was Just Confused. This parable is not about disobedience. It’s about identity amnesia. The son asked for his inheritance—his divine portion. But then he left the presence of the father. Not just physically. Psychologically. Spiritually. Existentially. > “I will go to a far country,” he said. That country wasn't just on a map—it was a state of mind. He began walking away from alignment. Away from the sacred center. He didn’t fall because he sinned—he fell because he thought himself separate. He wanted freedom—but without wisdom. He wanted pleasure—but without peace. And what happened? His thoughts created his downfall. He became what he believed. His descent was not instant—it was gradual. > From wealth to waste. From favor to famine. From royalty to rags. From sonship to swine. But here’s the deeper truth: he was always a son. Even in the pigsty. Even in the filth. Even when he felt cursed. Even when he looked defeated. The problem wasn’t his reality—it was his recognition. He still had his birthright. He still had his name. But he forgot it. Until one day, he had a thought—a single, holy, divine thought: > “I will arise and go to my father.” Not a deliverance service. Not a bottle of oil. Not an overnight vigil. Just a thought. And that thought broke the curse. He rose. He walked. He returned. And before he even made it halfway home, his father was already running toward him—robe in hand, ring ready, feast prepared.

--- Now Let Me Speak To You. You—who tremble at dreams of snakes. You—who feel doomed by a word spoken over you in anger. You—who still believe a witch doctor in your village holds your future in his hands. You are in the pigsty of fear. And it’s time to come home. You cannot be cursed unless you believe it. You cannot be defeated unless you surrender. You cannot be bound unless you forget who unbound you. Let me remind you: > You have a Thought Adjuster—God's own spirit fused into your mind. You have ministering spirits walking beside you. You have the Holy Spirit guiding you. You have the Spirit of Truth illuminating you. You have Christ Michael, your universe Father, loving you. You have the Ancients of Days overseeing your growth. You have heaven’s full support, all systems watching and working for your soul’s expansion. And you are afraid of someone burning incense at a crossroad? Wake up. Do not let a chicken feather or charm on your doorstep undo the divine covenant signed in your soul. Do not let folklore be your theology. Do not let fear masquerade as wisdom.

--- What Does This Region Need? Not more screaming preachers. Not more oil-slinging sessions. Not more fearful superstition masked as spirituality. We need a new generation of spiritual warriors—not noisy, but knowing. Not reactive, but revelatory. Not trembling, but transformed. > "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." "If God be for you, who can be against you?" "The kingdom of God is within you." So rise, son of Haiti. Rise, daughter of Nigeria. Rise, child of São Paulo, Port of Spain, Accra, Cape Town, and Cartagena. Rise and walk out of the pigsty of your mind. Remember who you are. Walk like it. Think like it. Live like it. Love like it. Let demons tremble—not because of your volume, but because of your vibration. Because you know. And now you live like you know. --- The war is over. The chains are broken. The Son is returning. And the feast is being prepared. Let the lies fall. Let the mind be renewed. Let the fire rise. Let the nations awaken.

So, right here in the Urantia Book, we see that: 
Death, physical death, is the natural dissolution of the material body. 
and 
Death is a simple step that we take to transition from this earthly realm to the celestial realms. 

Death is a technique that releases the soul and allows the soul and spirit to leave this earth and go to heaven. This is simply the function of death - death of the physical body. Death has no power to make you a perfected spirit. To become a perfected spirit, or for your soul to become perfect as your spirit Thought Adjuster is perfect, you have to grow intellectually and spiritually. 
 

Three Kinds of Death 
There are three different kinds of death: 
UB Paper 112:3, "The Phenomenon of Death" 

112:3.1 
Urantians generally recognize only one kind of death, the physical cessation of life energies; but concerning personality survival there are really three kinds:

112:3.2 
1. Spiritual (soul) death. If and when mortal man has finally rejected survival, when he has been pronounced spiritually insolvent, morontially bankrupt, in the conjoint opinion of the Adjuster and the surviving seraphim, when such co-ordinate advice has been recorded on Uversa, and after the Censors and their reflective associates have verified these findings, thereupon do the rulers of Orvonton order the immediate release of the indwelling Monitor. But this release of the Adjuster in no way affects the duties of the personal or group seraphim concerned with that Adjuster-abandoned individual. This kind of death is final in its significance irrespective of the temporary continuation of the living energies of the physical and mind mechanisms. From the cosmic standpoint the mortal is already dead; the continuing life merely indicates the persistence of the material momentum of cosmic energies. 

112:3.3 
2. Intellectual (mind) death. When the vital circuits of higher adjutant ministry are disrupted through the aberrations of intellect or because of the partial destruction of the mechanism of the brain, and if these conditions pass a certain critical point of irreparability, the indwelling Adjuster is immediately released to depart for Divinington. On the universe records a mortal personality is considered to have met with death whenever the essential mind circuits of human will-action have been destroyed. And again, this is death, irrespective of the continuing function of the living mechanism of the physical body. The body minus the volitional mind is no longer human, but according to the prior choosing of the human will, the soul of such an individual may survive. 

112:3.4 
3. Physical (body and mind) death. When death overtakes a human being, the Adjuster remains in the citadel of the mind until it ceases to function as an intelligent mechanism, about the time that the measurable brain energies cease their rhythmic vital pulsations. Following this dissolution the Adjuster takes leave of the vanishing mind, just as unceremoniously as entry was made years before, and proceeds to Divinington by way of Uversa. 

Now please, let's take a look at, "The wages of sin is death." Please, what does this mean? 

Urantia Book 53:9.8 
"But for ages the seven prison worlds of spiritual darkness in Satania have constituted a solemn warning to all Nebadon, eloquently and effectively proclaiming the great truth “that the way of the transgressor is hard”; “that within every sin is concealed the seed of its own destruction”; that “the wages of sin is death.”"  

“The wages of sin is death”: This is talking about spiritual or soul death NOT physical death (not body and mind death). Physical death is simply the natural dissolution of the material body of flesh and blood. It is used to release the soul and spirit from this earthly realm. Another way to release the soul and spirit from this earthly realm is translation by the spiritual fires of God, "chariots of fire": "the spiritual fires of consuming grandeur and ascending glory." (UB 55:2.5)

Blessed Be!
