Differences Between Psychosis, Demonic Possession, and Christian Narcissism

I don´t know if I actually have the answer to the differences between all three of these conditions, or the cure.  It seems to me that there is definitely a soup of twisted personality mixtures out there in the world and certainly walking among us.  There are also unexplained influences of strange phenomena, prescribed drug therapies, drug failures in treatment, and also an overabundance in the faith and presumption that God might want to help any of these three conditions.  Let us choose the more benevolent and favorable conclusion, that God does want these conditions to go away and would help anyone who changed their heart and prayerfully with reverence went to God for help.  I would also add that to fervently pray and fast for these individuals, who might be suffering from any of these conditions, might also help.  There is also the fact that some of these individuals might be serving a spiritual sentence that does not really deserve or need remediation or change.  No one actually knows the mind of God or why He might place a person into one of these conditions in life.          

Let us first turn to the scriptures and see what the Holy Bible says about demonic possession.  I won´t go too much into detail, as there must be many more examples, but these are just a few, three different conditions, and evidence that Jesus requests our assistance and encourages us to help those in trouble.  At least He wanted His disciples to give, as they had received, since they had been given power from on high and were full of the Holy Ghost.          

Mark 1:23 - 1:26

23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

Mark 9:26 - 9:29

26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?

29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

Matthew 10:8

“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”

Are adverse psychological conditions similar to or the same as demonic possession?  I don´t really know, as they might be the same, or at least similar in character and scope.  But, let us assume that they are not the same.  There is evidence that Psychiatrists and Psychologists are legally able to administer different medicines or therapies to individuals that are plagued with bad psychological conditions, and a great many or at least some patients are helped and relieved.  It does not mean that the patients actually had been possessed with demonic influences and were helped with medicines.  It might not be a good idea to link everything together.  One thing could be different, or it could be the same.  I do not know, but there is much evidence proving that a huge percentage of school shootings and violence is definitely linked to the prescription of psychotropic drugs given to problem children by medical doctors.  So, were the doctors possessed by demons for giving the reality altering drugs to problematic children, or were the children already on the edge of demonic possession anyway?  One cannot be proven by the other or helped through modern medicine, if the resulting condition is worse than the original sickness.  

Therefore, is treating a psychosis with modern medicine, which alters the electrical fields of the bio-electric system of the human body and brain, evidence that the psychotic patient actually is better off after treatment and able to feel remorse for his inhumane acts?  If he is already psychotic, how can a drug change his heart into one that feels remorse for evil acts?  Doesn´t this need to be and should be a voluntary act of the will and a decision by the affected person, for it to be mind altering and become a true character transformation?  I would tend to think that a person in a sedated state or in a lethargic condition might not actually be contemplating necessarily good decisions.  He might just be living with brain fog that slows down his reaction time, all to be caught up when the drug wears off and he feels the need for extra violent actions to satiate his demonic appetite.  After all, in a psychotic state he feels nothing of remorse or regret, so how much more empty is his soul after the tranquilizing drugs finally wear off?

Are the medical professionals actually abandoning their traditional route of counseling, when they opt out for drug therapies, as a short cut for trying to solve the difficult problems of psychotic individuals?  Have they not tried the theological approach to convert their patients to Christianity, whereby the souls of their patients might be actually transformed into feeling remorse for wicked acts?  Are they really that hopeless and simply decide that numbing down the senses of an electrically active violent patient might be the more prudent way to proceed?  

If you go by the death statistics for hospitals, you will find out that the number one killer in most hospitals, over and above all others in combination, is bacterial infections.  Doctors walk from one patient room to the next, without washing his hands.  Nurses use the same equipment for checking blood pressure on all patients.  So, it might be be true that a good reason Jesus specifically recommended fasting for those with terrible demonic possession could be cleanliness.  Or is it the other way around, that those praying for the demonic needed to fast, or maybe both physician and patient need to be praying and fasting?  Could it be that the food they were eating had been contaminated with bacteria, poisons, or maybe the patient was just too fat and had problems with greed and gluttony?  Too much food that is highly toxic, even with good cholesterol, can make you sick.  So, while fasting, the demonically possessed might find that in his prayers will be a solution to his overweight body problem or maybe even relieve an unclean or poisoned intestinal condition.  The one doing the praying for the demonic probably should fast in order to be more spiritually communicative with God.  I would venture that fasting for both disciple and overly demonic would be needed.  

If a hospital has as its greatest death rate statistic, evidence stemming from bacterial infections, you might consider that some medical institutions are a cesspool of demonic activity, if the two correlate directly with each other.  Why then would Jesus have said that the rigidly demonically possessed should refrain from eating, at least to fast for a small duration of time, if this would not actually help relieve the sickness?  Surely the one praying should not be over-indulging in food, while giving fervent prayer for the demonically possessed.  Maybe the psychotic patient should also consider changing his or her diet and take more interest in the food they consume, rather than taking mind altering drugs for therapy.  Just thinking here about alternatives that are less harmful than stringent and debilitating drug therapy that may make the situation worse, as case studies have found out with published evidence.

Many of the medical professionals have not totally abandoned their new opinion about sexual perversion being just another human choice, like the murder of innocent and perfectly healthy babies in abortion.  To kill your own baby is not considered demonic by some, but it is simply considered to be a choice.  Nor is it considered demonic to take a young child and butcher the body, in order to turn him or her into the opposite sex, other than that which they were naturally born with.  How is it not considered demonic for political leaders and medical professionals to espouse these bizarre opinions?  The truly psychotic have no feeling one way or another for inflicting severe damage and even death upon others.  It is really too sad that there is not a psychotropic drug that is able to be prescribed for such psychotic behavior from political leaders, but no...because they might become more demonic or psychotic than they already are.  Prayers still do work wonders and all Christians need to pray for our country and world leaders. 

So, now we arrive at Christian Narcissism.  New churches are forming every day that totally accept the demonic possession of sexual perversion in marriage as well as in their church leaders and congregations.  To go directly against the Bible is now popular and democratic, and not only to accept sinful conditions as normal, but also to hold it proudly in front of the church, as being an advocate of many different sexual lifestyle perversions, such as being a LGBTQ+ church.  This is narcissism at its highest level, to actually place your own immoral ideas and perversions as being above God.  To be above the laws of the Bible is now the preferred religion.  The Bible warned us of exactly such conditions to avoid, in order to stay sane, that is of healthy mind and body, and to keep our souls out of hell.  Narcissistic Christian leaders have agreed together to join Satan and go against the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Bible.  Is there any medicine for those repulsive conditions of the human psyche?  So, no psychotropic drugs do not change the immorality and either psychotic or demonic behavior of man, nor is there a cure for hopeless and Godless behavior.  That is why I said that maybe God prefers for the wicked to continually exist in their hopeless perverted conditions, at least until the day arrives for their gathering, like the tares mixed in with the wheat.  For some there really is no cure and little or no hope of being converted, lest their sins be forgiven them.

 Matthew 13:40

“As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.”

Mark 4:11 - 4:12

11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
