The children’s bread
Can the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan coexist in a person?
Yes!
Because of our carnal mind and flesh and our innate Free Will choices.
Being bound and tormented by demons manifested by physical and spiritual sickness has to be the very worst thing a person can live with. The torture to the human soul is unspeakable.
Denying the existence of Satan or the Devil, and the steadfast adherence to the man-made doctrine that Christians can not have demonic possession or oppression is the primary cause of poor spiritual, physical and mental health.
The following scripture identifies Father God’s gift of healing through deliverance.
Scriptural Basis for Deliverance
Lord Jesus commanded it
Mark 6:7; Mark 16:15-18; Matt. 10:1-8
Lord Jesus practiced it
Mark 2:2-20 with Matthew 8:28-34
Matthew 9:32-33
Matthew 12:22 with Luke 11:14
Matthew 15:22-29 with Mark 7:25-30
Matthew 17:14-18 with Mark 9:17-27 and Luke 9: 37-42
Mark 1:23-26 with Luke 4:33-35
Mark 16:9 with Luke 8:2-3
Matthew 8:30-32
Matthew 4:24
Matthew 8:16
Mark 3:22
Luke 4:41
From these many scriptures [and the many more unrecorded instances John 21:25],
it is obvious that Jesus spent a good deal of time ministering deliverance to the possessed. Lk. 4:18 and Acts 10:38
What He did, He expects us to do also! John 14:12
- The disciples practiced it. Mark 9:38; Luke 10:17
- Peter practiced it Acts 5:16
- Paul practiced it Acts 16:16-18; Acts 19:12
- Philip practiced it Acts 8:7
With these multitudes of precepts, practices, and patterns concerning deliverance in the scriptures anyone who needs deliverance or gets involved in deliverance ministry today has solid scriptural backing.
Demons … up close and personal
When a demon manifests it works with a family cohort to manipulate the host (us, the individual) physically and mentally. Although in manifesting in the human form it can take on epic proportions, when demons are cast out of a person, they look like little balls of light. We have images of them on video, streaming out of clients when we have been ministering to them.
We breathe them in.
The simplest way to describe how they act upon our bodies and mind is to think of them as ‘germs’ that invade our systems and then live in them, sometimes completely dormant, until they are given the command to do their demonic job.
The following information describes their
Can a Christian have a Demon?
Christians (any Christian) can have more than one demon.
The early church knew it, and after preaching the gospel and having people converted, they would pray for their healing and they would cast demons out of them.
Today, many Christians are taught that they can not have demons, but that is NOT what the Bible says!
Matthew 10:7-8 And as you go, preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have received, freely give.
We are spirit, soul, and body
1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
When we are
But, our soul and body stay the same
We can continue the process, in our soul and healing in our body, which includes the process of Deliverance. Consider again the above scripture from Matthew.
The preaching of the Word comes first, and it brings the born-again experience. But Jesus did not stop there. He said, besides that, to heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out devils. If the born-again experience would have taken care of the diseases and the demons, he would not have said what he said.
Matthew 15:21-28 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David, my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But He answered not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she cries after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord, yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master’s table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O, woman, great is thy faith: be unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. ( See also Mark 7:24-30)
Point 1 — Here is a woman that clearly was not from the children of Israel. This is why the disciples did not want to minister to her and wanted her to leave.
Point 2 — Her daughter had a demon, and the woman was pleading for deliverance.
Point 3 — Jesus did not even want to talk to her. When He finally talked, he said he came only for the Jewish people.
Point 4 — When the woman insisted, he said the woman wanted “the children’s bread”.
In other words, deliverance, which is what she wanted, was only for the children of God.
Point 5 — The woman’s insistence and faith in Him qualified her to be counted as a child of God, so she received her child’s deliverance – by faith from Lord Jesus.
If then, Deliverance is for the children of God, then Deliverance has been provided by God because it is needed.

This is one example,
A ubiquitous experience that we can all relate to is is the sharp intake of breath that we take when as a child when we
If there is a legal right for a Spirit of Fear to enter, this is a prime opportunity for it to come into the child. This demon then opens door to other demons with which it works in symbiosis, to achieve an outcome.
Genetics
Currently, the medical and scientific consensus seems to hold that between 40% and 60% of our makeup could be genetically inherited. It is a complex area of individually unique levels of hormones, neurotransmitters and gene receptors which influence or behavior.
Epigenetics is the study of biological switches that turn genes on and off. Certain circumstances in life can cause genes to be turned off or become turned on over time. In other words, they can be turned off (becoming dormant) or turned on (becoming active).
It’s demons that flick these switches on and off
p53 Gene and it's role cancer
from Water and Eliza Hall Institute news, 2018
This new finding gives us an intimate view of the
Mutant protein tackles DNA guardian to promote cancer development
p53 is known as the ‘guardian of the genome’ due to its role in protecting cells from cancer.
p53 plays a critical role in many pathways that prevent cancer, such as repairing DNA or killing cells if they have irreparable DNA damage.
Genetic defects in p53 are found in half of all human cancers, but exactly how these changes disrupt p53 function has long been a mystery.
Cells normally have two copies of the p53 gene in every cell. Early during cancer development, one copy of the gene may undergo a sudden and permanent change through mutation, while the other copy of the gene remains normal. This results in the cell making a mixture of normal and mutant versions of the p53 protein.
Researchers found that the mutant p53 protein can bind to and ‘tackle’ the normal p53 protein, blocking it from performing protective roles such as DNA repair. This makes the cell more likely to undergo further genetic changes that accelerate tumor development.
The team expected the mutant proteins would block all normal p53 activity, so was surprised to find that only certain p53-dependent pathways were affected.
“The mutant proteins are cunning: while they stop p53 from activating pathways that protect against cancer, they still allow p53 to activate pathways that promote tumor growth.”
Epi-Genetics
Where someone lives, their diet, sleep, exercise, friends and family, stress levels, type of work – all of these can eventually cause chemical modifications surrounding genes that will turn those genes on or off over time. Medical research demonstrates, for example, that cancer or Alzheimer’s, are caused by various genes being switched from the normal/healthy state.
Epigenetics explains the more nuanced switching of inherited genetic attributes by means of ‘nurture’ or experience, which are modified, probably in early life, but also with life-changing later experiences to render our unique characters.
Psalm 37:23-26 —The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
Satan drives what happens in the physical world. We must educate ourselves about Satan’s methods or we may be caught off guard and destroyed. He aims to manipulate and control our external environments and surreptitiously place us or position us to manipulate the epi-genetic circumstances in which we live.
Unless we are sold out to Father God and allowing Him to direct our paths, Satan will choose where we live, where we work, who we have children with and ultimately when the most effective time to flip a genetic switch to ensure we stay or become separated for eternity from Father God.

Introversion and extroversion drive particular
Introverts (introverted tendencies/preferences) tend to recharge by spending time alone. They lose energy from being around people for long periods of time, particularly large crowds.
Extroverts, conversely, gain energy from other people. Extroverts actually find their energy is sapped when they spend too much time alone. They recharge by being social.
Ambiverts, vacillate between the two primary personality types, in a predictable manner.
Read Brain Wiring below to understand the neurological, and chemical information
Brain wiring
Nervous systems
Introverts have a dominant parasympathetic and extroverts have a dominant sympathetic system.
parasympathetic ― relating to the part of the autonomic nervous system which balances the action of the sympathetic nerves. It consists of nerves arising from the brain and the lower end of the spinal cord and supplying the internal organs, blood vessels, and glands.
sympathetic ― relating to the part of the autonomic nervous system originating in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord that in general inhibits or opposes the physiological effects of the parasympathetic nervous system, as intending to reduce digestive secretions or speed up the heart.
Brain wiring
Introverts and Extroverts brains are wired differently. The following diagrams describe the neural pathways to the same stimulus, in both the Introverts and Extroverts brains.
Introvert Acetylcholine pathway
Extrovert Dopamine pathway
Research has shown that the difference comes from how Introverts and Extroverts process stimuli. That is, the stimulation coming into our brains, and is processed differently depending on brain wiring, this drives the personality referencing of either deliberation or action.
Introverts, stimuli run through a long, complicated pathway in areas of the brain associated with remembering, planning, and solving problems.
Extroverts, the pathway is much shorter. It runs through an area where taste, touch, and visual and auditory sensory processing takes place.
Introverts thrive on Acetylcholine neurotransmitters. Everyone needs and produces Acetylcholine in varying degrees, as a transmitter at all neuromuscular (nerve-to-skeletal muscle) connections. It stimulates muscle contractions
Extroverts thrive on Dopamine neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters activity stimulates the primary neural circuit for incentive reward and motivated
